Natural Cures---Kevin Trudeau
- Thread starter anonymous
- Start date
I haven't read it but I was reading a comments on it from Amazon.com and they weren't very nice comments. Most of them said that the "cures" he speaks of are associated with websites that you have to pay for to read their info. That he really doesn't give any info in the book except to point you in the direction of the websites.

Haven't read the book. I saw an interview with him and I believe that much of what he said there was true - about how pharmaceutical companies shake hands with the government to keep people from getting treatments and therapies that could help them, but wouldn't benefit big business. I don't know if he specifically talks about actual natural cures or if he just talks about the principals behind keeping them inaccessible (insurances were founded by doctors to get payment, not to help the indured get proper, or even cost-effective, treatment). The book I like best for natural cures is "Prescriptions for Nutritional Healing" and its companion "Prescriptions for Herbal Healing" by Balch & Balch. They talk about nutrients, herbs, minerals, and therapies. They also talk about how to adjust dosages and how to do certain therapies correctly. Hope that helps.

Ha ha, I was curious so i tried doing a search on kevin trudeau. he's got quite a lot of people pissed off at him; something about false promises, deceptive advertising, and the like. =-)
Some of the reviews on Amazon.com are hilarious. =-) The headline <b>"Makes Tom Cruise Look Rational"</b> made me laugh my butt off. Also, there was this post: <b>"I want to thank you Mr. Trudeau for your thoughts on how Tampons can lead to urinary tract infections and even cancer. I've been using them ever since I first got my period and making the switch to cheesecloth pads that your book recommends was not easy for me. Now I love them and also have the peace of mind that my future children will be cancer free. Thank you so much for this revealing knowledge."</b>
Ha ha, but I think that last person was actually being serious, 'cause she gave the book a high rating.

Oh, another serious one: <b>"You said it "Honest Reviewer". I've been buying junk like Immodium for years. I tried Kevin's suggestion of a peanut butter suppository for diarrhea, and it tightened me up LIKE THAT."</b>
<b>"I am a pastor at Our Redemeer Christian Scientist church here in Beaverton, Colorado who is a big believer in your natural cures. Kinda makes sense considering what we Christian Scientists think about using drugs and "modern medicine" to address illnesses. As a Christian Scientist, I know that if one of my parishioners gets, say, a strep throat, the cure is not antibiotics, made by man, but a natural cure made by god, like the Oatmeal enema you describe in your book. So, you mave have been a sinner in the past, but the Lord forgives all sinners. Don't let these bad reviewers of your book smite thee. Turn the other cheek, my boy! God Bless."</b>
ha ha! peanut butter suppositories and oatmeal enemas =-)
<b>Kevin, first let me say, if I were 30 years younger...well you could leave your slippers under my bed anytime<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I used to have to go to Costco just because they were the only place that sold Immodium in bulk. I guess you know what my problem was. Ever since I read your book and tried your fast with only oysters and lard I have been clean as a whistle! Thank you. You know, I just love to watch you on television, love to look at you on television maybe i should say. </b>
Ewwwwww!
<b>I have a sad story, that thanks to Kevin has a happy ending. About 5 years ago I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia. To be honest i didn't even know what it was, but these voices would not stop talking to me. My Doctor prescribed a drug called Haldol to me. It costs me $55 a month that my insurance would not cover. I do admit I no longer felt the urge to end it all, but then I read Kevin's book and I realized that I was just this doctor's sucker. While he was playing golf and surfing with the big bucks from suckers like me, I was struggling to get by working at near minimum wage at the Olive Garden. Now Kevin has taught me that these drugs I've been taking are just poison! Kevin has shown me that a simple apple cider vinegar gargle and a chicken soup enema is all I really need to restore the electrolitic balance in my nervous system that has caused these voices. Kevin, you are a true humanitarian! I am free from giving any more of my hard earned money to these charlatans. Do not believe any 1 star reviews you read here, as it is obvious that these posts are just paid for by the big pharma companies. Kevin, I owe you my life. Thank You.</b>
A chicken soup enema? I think i'm startig to see a pattern here. =-)
<b>I used to weigh 275 pounds, have a clogged artery, and melanoma. Now I'm a trim 180, jog 10 miles a day, am cancer free, AND have a photographic memory! Thank You Kevin!!</b>
I wonder what kind of enema that guy used.... =-)
Right well, if i don't stop i'm gonna be up all night. =-) There are over 1,400 reviews, and I've only skimmed through the first hundred or so. I don't know if Trudeau is legit or not, but I do know that telling people to buy a book, and then telling them they have to pay to access a website so they can have all the info is just being greedy.
I say, anyone who wants to read the book should go to the library, or just read it in the book store. I think Trudeau has quite enough money as it is. =-)

Gods, how I'm tired of idiots like Trudeau claiming some humongous conspiracy to suppress herbs. Docs are fond of this little thing called evidence, which, in the case of treatments, largely comes from double-blind studies. Studies that every drug approved by the FDA has to pass, and that herbal and (enema?) companies are <i>certainly</i> not barred from performing. It's just that the jackasses never put their money where their mouth is, paying scientists to perform a rigorous test of their claims. You'll rarely find an "alternative health" company performing, or citing, a double-blind study that shows their "treatment" is more effective than a placebo. This is either because they know such a study would expose them as snake-oil peddlers, or already did.
Sorry for the rant, it doesn't extend to those who don't make ridiculous claims about miracle cures but, instead, think they might have some marginal beneficial effect that complements medicine. I just consider twits like Kevin "this stuff will really, honestly cure cancer" Trudeau or Sylvia "take two crystals and ignore your doc's advice" Browne disgusting scam artists.

I read the book. WinAce hit the nail on the head. Trudeau claims in the book that he can't tell you certain things or the FDA or FCC will shut him down. If it were simply freedom of speech, he could say anything, but what he is being kept from saying is claims that "natural" stuff is a cure. I do believe in some natural things, but there is a point where I believe the "natural cure" people are actually worse than the government. The book pretty much makes huge claims that government =EVIL and "natural"= good and aren't really backed by any kind of proof.
