By kcmagnus "Skeptic" (Central Coast, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Perricone Prescription Two-Book Set (Pericone Prescription, Perricone Prescription Journal) (Hardcover)
http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/perricone.html
An excerpt: "Dr. Perricone would be more credible if he could show us a study demonstrating that people who followed his prescription lived longer, had `younger' skin demonstrated by objective measures, or felt better compared to those on a placebo program--or that they were better in any measurable way. Instead, he provides only testimonials, exaggerated claims, partial truths, and incorrect statements. He cherry-picks possibly supportive studies from the literature and ignores contradictory studies. He cites lots of lab studies (in vitro or in animals), but few that demonstrate any clinical effects in humans. The diet he recommends is low in calories, and weight loss alone may improve the way his patients look and feel. His advice about tobacco and sunscreens is appropriate, but there is little science behind the rest of his program. He seems to have gathered every nutrient and skin cream he had any reason to hypothesize might work and advised using all of them [and sells them for an exorbitant amount of money to the exclusion of anyone else's]. A more rational approach would have been to first see which ones really worked, and later to see if any combinations of the effective agents worked better than a single agent."

This review is from: Perricone Prescription Two-Book Set (Pericone Prescription, Perricone Prescription Journal) (Hardcover)
I would be curious to know if the negative reviewer actually tried the Perricone diet. I wonder if he/she even tried to modify the way they eat (less sugar/ more fish), or tried the recommended supplements, or even tried any of the topical solutions. Because I did. And I am a believer. I am 43, and have never felt better or looked younger. And, there is TONS of medical evidence to back up
Perricone's claims. The reviewer should have done more homework before writing such a negative review. Just sayin'. ;)
