Dr. Perricone, I just want to thank you for your products and your books. Your nutrition advice is what I had been following on my own for a couple of years before I even knew of you because it was just what I ended up finding that finally felt good to me and it ended up curing my issues with hypoglycemia. It also got rid of my arthritis. I am a big fan of lean protein, Omega 3s and fresh produce. I’m not a carb lover and I almost never eat fast food anymore. And your topical products? Thank you. I just got my new order two days ago and I am still excited about it. I am forty four years old and can pass for a decade younger. And for those who don’t believe that nutrition is key, I confess that I don’t get much exercise. Yet I am still slim – can even wear a bikini – in spite of having had four children. Thank you for spreading the word about good nutrition and thank you for your wonderful topical products. I love them (especially the face finishing moisturizer). The results that I have gotten so far are even inspiring me to want to exercise because I can still use some improvement (can’t we all?). Thank you so much for your work and your genuine interest in human health and longevity. I have taken it in and appreciate it in every cell of my being. And — I am spreading good nutritional health to my children. They eat fast food, but they also like salad and fresh fruit! I took them with me to the grocery yesterday and they wanted pomegranate like it was a candy! Things like this are a real blessing for all of my family. Thank you for helping and providing information and support that is filtering down to the next generation. There is nothing more important that this.
