Kevin Trudeau, the author of this new book is single handedly blowing the lid off the web of lies and deception of the drug industry, food industry, and government. If you've seen his infomercials you know what i'm talking about.
The book is titled Natural Cures They don't want you to know about. it's already one of the best selling non-fiction books of all time and more and more people are finding out about the conspiracy to keep everyone sick.
This thread serves to pay homage to Kevin Trudeau for being such a brave guy for standing up to the drug companies and the government and being such a successful guy at it! I've read the book and it was great. I already know that the only way to be healthy is to eat organic and detox. That's the basis for everything.
If you've seen ANYTHING in the media or on any websites that are trying to discredit Kevin Trudeau. You need to know that they are people who are working for the drug companies, FDA, or FTC. It's obvious that these people want to destroy him, but Kevin continues to expose the lies of the "SICK CARE" industry.
Please i'd like to hear your comments about Kevin, the book, and the whole sick care industry conspiracy!!!

My mother-in-law bought that book, and as someone who is usually a mindless sheep even she didn't like it. 95% of the book was about how evil the pharmaceutical industry is and the other 5% is a few quack cures he threw in the second run of the book because people complained that the first run didn't actually have any cures.
And yes, they are quack cures. For instance, he claims to cure heartburn or high stomach acidity, drink some vinegar (an acid!) Oh and he also claims that you can cure diabetes, but I don't remember what the "cure" is.
If "they" really didn't want you to know about the cures... how is it that Kevin can publish?
I'm not working for anyone, the guy is a quack. He's successful because of nit wits who part with their money without giving two seconds to think first.

The amount of fail included in this one sentence fragment is enough to power all of Estonia for a year!
A little lesson on natural cures: Willow bark cures headaches. It's true. It was used for many years for that purpose. Unfortunately it also causes agonizing stomach pain. Along comes a scientist who was able to determine the base ingredients of willow bark and test each one. He eventually determined that Salicin was the active ingredient, and the precursor to Asprin was born. The lesson here is: Most drugs ARE natural cures! The only difference is that all the useless shit has been cut out.
I remember watching this quack's infomercial one night at about 3 am, talking about the book and it's cures. The fiancee and I laughed at the guy peddling his snake oil and we don't work for anybody in those fields (although we do start med school next year.) Wait a minute... scratch that. Snake oil likely has more curing properties than this guy's book.
Look there's lots of old fashioned "cures" that are slowly being forgotten, I'll give you that. Personally if I'm feeling a little nausious I'll nibble a few crackers rather than reach for the pepto or other drug. An ice pack and a nap is a great cure for a tension headache (if you have the time). But if you're on the job, somehow the boss frowns on nap-time, so you pop a couple of Tylenol and carry on.
Yes Type II diabetes can be cured if the person turns their life around. But this is only if they are insulin resistant and their poor pancreas hasn't quit on them. Also these people will never be able to go back to their slothful ways again or the diabetes will come back. Gestational diabetes is also a "curable" diabetes.
And always with the evil THEY.....ominous music
Here's a hint, if you want to know a good "natural health book". Look up St. Johns Wort, if it doesn't say go to a doctor if your feeling really down, and doesn't mention that it's an MAOI and therefore is high risk in large doses, put the book down and walk away. Also if it doesn't give warnings about long term usage of ginseng and licorice root, it's a dangerous book.

Willow bark cures headaches. It's true. It was used for many years for that purpose. Unfortunately it also causes agonizing stomach pain.
Willow bark tea, however, is absolutely brilliant for soothing debilitating menstrual cramps. Only thing that worked for me.
Kevin is laughing all the way to the bank at you and idiots like you, who make him millions by buying his worthless book and other bogus crap, like homeopathics.
And the drug companies don't give a shit about him, because they know that most people have the common sense not to fall for his scam.
Yeah, Kevin Trudeau speaks the truth when he talks about the pharmacutical companies and the medical professionals being in cahoots to keep you sick and themselves rich.
Him being in trouble with the FTC and the FDA you say? No, it isn't because he is marketing unsubstantiated and possibly dangerous advice as medical cures. No siree, you know the FTC and FDA are also in part of the conspiracy as well. You know they get a cut in keeping you sick.
I mean, after all, what's the harm?
Oh wait.
Some natural treatments actually work (like ginger for nausea, aloe vera for sunburn, or the aforementioned willow bark for pain). However, no one is trying to suppress any natural cures. If the drug companies could patent the herbs themselves, they'd be all over it.
By the way, I have used willow bark many times and never experienced stomach pain (though I will admit that the stuff tastes terrible). Salicylic acid in general can cause stomach pain, depending upon the individual sensitivity and the amount taken. That is one reason why doctors recommend that you not take it half a dozen times a day for long periods of time.
Hey, know what they call "alternative medicine" whose efficacy has been proven by science?
They call it "medicine"
Kevin "I got fined $30+ million and am banned from trading in false cures" Trudeau is a con man, pure and simple.
I can't feel too sorry for anyone who dies after using "alternative medicine" instead of conventional medicine, because if they're too stupid to use unproven and unscientific methods to fight disease, then a form of Darwanism is taking effect here. Stupid people taking themselves out of the gene pool. Unfortunately most of them are desperate for any cure and believe the quacks who say they can cure them.
I do feel bad for the many children who have died from these so-called alternative cures at the hands of their stupid parents, though.
But I just want to say to them, "Hey idiots! There's a reason we go to doctors when we're sick!"
I have gran mal epilepsy and if I miss even one tablet I can have up to 20 seizures a day.
How refreshing it is to know my medication is useless and my illness can be cured by eating organic vegetables!
Kevin Trudeau is a fucking parasite.
(Sorry doubting thomas, he is right on one aspect. Drinking vinegar will drop your acidic stomach's pH... pH of vinegar is around 6, your stomach's is packing a pH of 3. But you know Milk of Magnesia exists which is a better treatment...)
Oh don't get me wrong, drug companies are pretty much "evil" defined. They are entirely reliant on fooling doctors into believing their products are better. The thing is we are hitting a wall of medicine.
Prior to the scientific method medicine moved very slowly. Very little advances were present between the renaissance and the roman medical tradition. After we see the growth of medicine. Biology in particular began to push the envelope really rapidly.
Now we have hit some sort of plateau. Discoveries and novel drugs are hard to come by. We are being limited by the current drug dynamic. So drug companies are forced to just repackage the same drug over and over again to turn a profit and carry on their research into improving existing drugs since striking out on your own is a good way to go bankrupt.
To do this they need to fool doctors. Sometimes all it takes is a lobster meal and a 5 star hotel room. Sometimes it needs some of the slickest statistics known to man. You can spin statistics, which is why countries tend to have independant testing like the FDA and NHS/BMA testing in the US and UK respectively. But once you pass the test (to see if your drug is harmful or not) then you can spin to doctors. And pharmaceutical companies are phenomenal at it.
But the thing is its a flaw of our system of capitalist pharmaceuticals. We need smarter doctors (I know. Its a tall order! :D)
Maybe people are trying to keep these "cures" down because many do more harm than good? Not to mention that many haven't been tested in laboratory conditions, so there's no proof that they work at all.
Some natural cures do work, but do the damn research first. That does include getting information from people who've had formal training.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
