I first heard about the three spices to burn fat and beautify your skin on HLN.The three spices are cinnamon ,black pepper and turmeric.I started using the cinnamon and black pepper a week ago.I already feel my energy going up. I am going to start turmeric this week because I would like to improve the radiance of my skin.I have always loved Dr Perricone’s products but can no longer afford them.I would love to be a Perricone tester.
I tried the diet for 3 days but can’t find your products here in Abu Dhabi/UAE… just a few and not the ones I need in Dubai.
The difference in my skin was so much and I lost weight without being hungry, I was so happy that everyone was asking about it and I had the opportunity to share with a lot of my friends, but they didn’t try… I’m going to do it again with a flatmate. Maybe with her help I’ll get more girls to try. My flatmate is super fit so for her is only about aging. Sure it will work too! And after I’ll do the 28 days diet. All already organized! Wish to have the products here because I don’t trust in internet shopping. Please, bring the products here, I’m sure they must work! Dr. Perricone really knows the secrets.
Hi Dr. Perricone,

Thank you for considering me.

I would really like to become a Perricone tester! I have been suffering for many years with an over-active autoimmune system, which causes inflamation inside the body and hives, rashes and welts on the skin and pain in my joints. At times it gets so bad that I suffer from annafalactic shock. I am currently about 30-35 lbs over weight and am looking for new and alternative healing methods.I am tired of taking prescriptions that only cover the issues.
I was online today doing some research as to how to eliminate inflammation from my body. I have been overweight for most of my life and now suffering with knee pain. My doctor prescribed a very strong Anti-Inflammatory and fortunately for me, my wife read the side effects prior to me filling the prescription. Thankfully she is heavily into natural healing and alternative medicine. I would like to test your products, honestly, I have reached a point where I have to do something and after reading all the information on inflammation would like to be pain-free and healthy again. I reside in Canada and hope I can participate in this program
I just started blogging on blogspot.com and would love to share my experience with Perricone with potential readers.
I am asian, early 30′s, have sensitive skin, and am prone to acne. I would love the opportunity to become a Perricone tester and blog about it to readers.
I have been doing research on the anti-inflammatory diet that Dr. Perricone advocates. I have gained 30 lbs over the last few years and my C-Reactive protien levels come back really high showing too much inflammation in the body. I am only 40 years old and I’m already starting to see the breakdown of my body from high levels of inflammation. I would love to become a Perricone tester and walking testimony!
