Using the unique approach that he has employed in his previous books, author, columnist, and television commentator James Burke shows us our connections to the fifty-six men who signed the Declaration of Independence. Over the two hundred-plus years that separate us, these connections are often surprising and always fascinating. Burke turns the signers from historical icons into flesh-and-blood people: Some were shady financial manipulators, most were masterful political operators, a few were good human beings, and some were great men. The network that links them to us is also peopled by all sorts, from spies and assassins to lovers and adulterers, inventors and artists. The ties may be more direct for some of us than others, but we are all linked in some way to these founders of our nation.

If you enjoyed Martin Sheen as the president on television's The West Wing, then you're connected to founder Josiah Bartlett. The connection from signer Bartlett to Sheen includes John Paul Jones; Judge William Cooper, father of James Fenimore; Sir Thomas Brisbane, governor of New South Wales; an incestuous astronomer; an itinerant math teacher; early inventors of television; and pioneering TV personality Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, the inspiration for Ramon Estevez's screen name, Martin Sheen.

Not a recommend , was refunded
Again, maybe it helps others. Does nothing for me. I went all out and purchased the face wash, Mother of all Creams and these supplements. My skin actually got more itchy and felt greasy. So over $70. down the drain for me. The company refunded me for all 3 items. They stand behind their product. Perhaps I have a sensitivity or something of an allergy to an ingredient or 2 in the formulas. I followed instructions and it was after about a week and a half of use I just had to stop. I have always had sensitive skin.

So Far So Good
I have only been using it for about half a month, I take a lot of supplements daily, for I believe in them at 83 years old they work for me. No real health issues, other than this skin thing, the itching and burning, creams help, but you need to almost take a bath in them almost daily. I love the inside out concept of control or stopping the itching and burning. I can say that the itching and burning seems less after half a month of use, but only time will tell, that is the real test. TIME

OBSESSED
Hi there! I’ve been using Puriya’s “Mother of All Creams” and “Wonder Balm” for years. Even did a podcast episode talking about Mother Of All Creams! Best moisturizer EVER. I’ve referred over 50 people to Puriya products. No joke! When “Free To Be Me” supplements launched— I instantly bought them to try. I’ve only been using them for 2 weeks but notice a huge difference in my skin! My skin isn’t red at all, and my dryness down like you wouldn’t believe. Honestly, I’m GLOWING. BUY THESE. Affordable and 100% worth the money.
