Skin aging once was believed to be inevitable. Today, scientific studies from leading institutions confirm that many age-related changes in your skin can be reversed! Yes, it is possible to tighten your skin, reduce blemishes, improve skin clarity, density and firmness naturally without the use of alien chemicals and potentially dangerous procedures. In his insightful book, Dr. Pickart discusses his groundbreaking discovery of the copper peptide GHK - a biochemical gem that forever transformed our beliefs about what is possible when it comes to reversing skin aging. Copper peptides are natural compounds that work together with your body's natural repair systems, helping your skin to repair and rebuild itself to maintain its youthful and glowing appearance. Unfortunately, they decline with age and therefore need to be replenished to prevent wrinkles and loss of elasticity. The book is heavily referenced citing dermatological studies and independent research that present an impressive body of evidence of the age-reversal power of copper peptides. The book also reviews common skin problems and gives detailed suggestions on how to solve them naturally, tapping into body's own regenerative power. Above all, this is a publication that will help you learn to love and appreciate your skin while taking care of its needs and enhancing its ability to repair, renew and rebuild itself.

Discover how to rejuvenate your skin and hair using the revolutionary 21st century technology of copper peptides. Unlike other ingredients, which work on skin's surface only, copper peptides reset your skin's genes to youth and health. This book is a comprehensive guide to copper peptides, written by a renowned biochemist Dr. Pickart, the discoverer of the original copper-peptide GHK-Cu. This is a detailed, easy-to-read and in-depth work on the use of copper peptides. The book provides a wealth of science-based information, plus scientific references to give you all the tools and knowledge you'll need to start using copper peptides. It includes information on everything from anatomy of the skin to step-by-step instructions. With easy-to-follow directions, you'll be able to address needs of aging skin, oily and acne-prone skin, or dry and sensitive skin, and more! You will find scientifically sound information on scars and stretch marks, brittle nails, thinning hair, sun care, and beauty nutrition. Considering growing popularity of copper peptide products, his book is a must-have for those who care about their skin's health and beauty. "Not all copper-peptides are equal. Some of them can damage your skin," warns Dr. Pickart. Choosing the right copper peptide products, combining copper-peptides with other scientifically proven skin remedies, seeing through false advertising, preventing skin damage and accelerated aging, as well as helping skin rebuild and rejuvenate itself - those are just a few topics addressed in the book. Also included in the new book are the surprising and unexpected health protective actions of GHK (anti-cancer, anti-anxiety, anti-pain, anti-COPD, anti-inflammatory, stem cell activation, etc.) reported by many universities around the world. After completing this book, you won't just put it away. You will use it again and again as a great reference in your beauty endeavors.

He is truly passionate about sharing the sound scientific approach to skin rejuvenation and making this invaluable information available to everyone. "There never has been a better time to fight aging and stay young," says Dr. Pickart, "The copper-peptide molecules not only have the power to shift your skin's biology from aging to rejuvenation, they do it in a safe and gentle way. With copper peptides we can tune-up skin's DNA, just like a piano. This is a rejuvenating technology of the future. What's more, it is a very affordable and safe approach. This should be available to everyone." SKIN, HAIR, AND MANY DISEASES OF AGING In many controlled, peer-reviewed published articles, GHK was found to: - Tighten loose skin and thicken older skin - Repair protective skin barrier proteins - Improve skin firmness, elasticity, and clarity - Reduce fine lines, depth of wrinkles, and overall appearance - Reduce photodamage, mottled hyperpigmentation, skin spots and lesions - Improve overall appearance - Protect skin cells from UV radiation - Increase hair growth and thickness, enlarge hair follicle size ANTI-CANCER ACTIONS - GHK topped 1,309 genes as the best Broad Institute computer recommended bioactive for the treatment of human metastatic colon cancer. - GHK, at 1 nanomolar, resets the programmed cell death system in human cancer cells (human neuroblastoma, leukemia, and breast cancer). - GHK inhibits NFKB p65 which is believed to promote cancer growth. - Repair damaged DNA at cellular level at 1 nanomolar (47 genes UP, 5 genes down). - GHK-copper induces cell differentiation. - Resets 84 genes to growth inhibition or cancer inhibition.

This volume is the newest release in the authoritative series issued by the National Academy of Sciences on dietary reference intakes (DRIs). This series provides recommended intakes, such as Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs), for use in planning nutritionally adequate diets for individuals based on age and gender. In addition, a new reference intake, the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL), has also been established to assist an individual in knowing how much is "too much" of a nutrient. Based on the Institute of Medicine's review of the scientific literature regarding dietary micronutrients, recommendations have been formulated regarding vitamins A and K, iron, iodine, chromium, copper, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, and other potentially beneficial trace elements such as boron to determine the roles, if any, they play in health. The book also: Reviews selected components of food that may influence the bioavailability of these compounds. Develops estimates of dietary intake of these compounds that are compatible with good nutrition throughout the life span and that may decrease risk of chronic disease where data indicate they play a role. Determines Tolerable Upper Intake levels for each nutrient reviewed where adequate scientific data are available in specific population subgroups. Identifies research needed to improve knowledge of the role of these micronutrients in human health. This book will be important to professionals in nutrition research and education.

The safety of the nation's drinking water must be maintained to ensure the health of the public. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for regulating the levels of substances in the drinking water supply. Copper can leach into drinking water from the pipes in the distribution system, and the allowable levels are regulated by the EPA. The regulation of copper, however, is complicated by the fact that it is both necessary to the normal functioning of the body and toxic to the body at too high a level. The National Research Council was requested to form a committee to review the scientific validity of the EPA's maximum contaminant level goal for copper in drinking water. Copper in Drinking Water outlines the findings of the committee's review. The book provides a review of the toxicity of copper as well as a discussion of the essential nature of this metal. The risks posed by both short-term and long-term exposure to copper are characterized, and the implications for public health are discussed. This book is a valuable reference for individuals involved in the regulation of water supplies and individuals interested in issues surrounding this metal.

A Time Best YA Book of All Time (2021) In this “searing work of historical fiction” (Booklist), Coretta Scott King Award-winning author Sharon M. Draper tells the epic story of a young girl torn from her African village, sold into slavery, and stripped of everything she has ever known—except hope. Amari's life was once perfect. Engaged to the handsomest man in her tribe, adored by her family, and fortunate enough to live in a beautiful village, it never occurred to her that it could all be taken away in an instant. But that was what happened when her village was invaded by slave traders. Her family was brutally murdered as she was dragged away to a slave ship and sent to be sold in the Carolinas. There she was bought by a plantation owner and given to his son as a "birthday present". Now, survival is all Amari can dream about. As she struggles to hold on to her memories, she also begins to learn English and make friends with a white indentured servant named Molly. When an opportunity to escape presents itself, Amari and Molly seize it, fleeing South to the Spanish colony in Florida at Fort Mose. Along the way, their strength is tested like never before as they struggle against hunger, cold, wild animals, hurricanes, and people eager to turn them in for reward money. The hope of a new life is all that keeps them going, but Florida feels so far away and sometimes Amari wonders how far hopes and dreams can really take her.
