Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You To Know About

I heard about this book and the author several years ago, and was aware of the many negative reviews for it. It is not until recently that I was able to take a gander for myself. Some of the claims in this book are absolutely ridiculous, and he does not offer any real cures. To get the "cures" he keeps blabbing about, you have to go to his site. I checked the site out of curiosity, and you have to PAY for this info. And it's information that you can find for FREE on the Internet... there are all sorts of sites with various herbal remedies and what have you that you can get for free. This book and the site are a scam.

I also found the language to be simplistic, as if he is speaking to children. He 'explains' things which are completely show more false. he also demonizes food that is not one hundred percent organic. Yes, one should stay away from heavily processed food and chemical-riddled food, but chemicals are needed to preserve certain sorts of foods, and he speaks of chemicals as if they are bad. Salt is a chemical (NaCl) and is it bad for you? No! Sugar is also a chemical, and plenty of the things in organic food are technically chemicals, but he does not clarify that for you.

He also refers to newsletters many times, so you are basically not only required to go to his site, you're also required to look at previous articles he has written because he is too lazy to put them in this book.

There are ridiculous quotes in this book such as...

'Food that is not one hundred percent organic are all full of toxins'. I suppose I'd be dead then, because while I do eat healthy, I admit to eating some processed foods. Such as... bagels... canned soup... cake... snack foods (which I only eat in moderation)

He also claims that drinking the juices of three fruits will make diseases disappear. No, seriously. He claims that the juices of mangosteen, wolfberry, and noni. He has the nerve to say that these juices can cure stuff like fibromyalagia (which there is NO cure for) lupus (again, no cure) diabetes (still no cure) and about twenty other diseases.

He claims that the toxins in food cause these diseases. Not genetic defects or old age. Ridiculous.

He also talks about cleansing, but he refuses to specify what products you should use for the various cleanses he mentions.

What little helpful information in here is commonsense, such as eating breakfast instead of skipping it.

This book is also painfully redundant, with so much repetition, yet with very little, if any substance.

There are so many things wrong in this book, and if I were to list them all, this review would be too long to publish. But the things I did mention should give you an idea how bad and unhelpful this book is. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Avoid the website as well, because once you give them your credit card info, it is impossible to cancel your subscription to them, and this 'author' has been investigated for multiple counts of fraud. show less

I bought this book hoping that it would help me with Migraines. Instead, it gave me one.

Kevin Trudeau is maddeningly repetitive. It's been a while since I read this one, but I recall the 1st quarter of the book sounding like this... I'm paraphrasing here:

"Did you know that there are natural cures for almost every ailment and illness you can think of? Oh yes, there are, but there are people who don't want you to know about them. These people want to keep you sick for their gain. But, let me assure you, there ARE natural cures that are available almost everywhere. AND, I know what these cures are! They are natural cures that can be found in nature, but they don't want you to know that."

...and so on.

He goes on and on about the benefits show more of the "health care" industry and government keeping people sick, which of course, he says is all for profit. He also makes it abundantly clear that the "they" who want to keep these natural cures under wraps also want to shut him up about them.

Finally, the last part of the book contains an index of illnesses that can be "cured" by the natural ingredients previously alluded to, but Trudeau then negates everything he just went on and on and on about by saying that these cures aren't actually guaranteed to cure anything.

I tend to agree with him on one point, which is that it does benefit pharmaceutical companies and HMOs etc to keep people sick and needing their help, but that is fairly self-evident. If they cure the sick, they lose money. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

Anyway, my advice is, if you want to read this one make a trip to the library and pick it up. Don't waste your money on the book. show less

"The lad(d)y doth protest too much, methinks." and for so long : "So long," is all that CAN be said....except --->

Repetitive, ranty, hollow hollering, repeating, repeating, repeating, repeating, repeating, repeating (like the acid-reflux he blames on enzyme-elimination from milk) the ideas of others with much (pseudo-call-to-arms) criticism of the immorality of c(r)apitalism, yet hypocritically high promotion of his **pay-to-view** subscription web site accompanied by added (additive/addiction) alarmism.

Alarmism so extreme that, dead-pan, (if not deep-pan) he tells you that tap-water is so dangerous that having a bath in it is analagous to ***entering a gas chamber***.

"Don't do it," he says. He says that a lot. Other favourite phrases show more - churned out SCORES of times include (with or without DELIBERATE irony) :

BRAIN-WASHING
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY
THINK ABOUT IT
STILL NOT CONVINCED ?
HOW SAD

"How sad" that the above capitalisations are a full summary of the audiobook. How unsad that you can spare yourself the twelve hours or so required to learn this by reading and re-reading them here.

Mr. Trudeau's public text does NOT contain any cures or remedies. He advocates juicing organic fruit, drinking plenty of distilled water, trampolining, de-stressing when distressed, preparing food "lovingly" and wearing magnetic rings on your toes whilst sniffing houseplants on Saturdays because the start of the weekend is optimised by the "lunar cycle".

He comes across as a paranoid Tony Robbins impersonator (even giving the pH balance craze a nod) who has jumped on the "Fast Food Nation" bandwagon to stir a cynicism that *already exists*.

"They" are solely out to get you. NO product is safe to consume.......So where do "They" get THEIR secret supply of uncontaminated daily bread ? Are they better bre(a)d and organising organics with Prince Charles, (pesticide-free) (corn)(un)(i(l)(ly) wall-ed up, with the Duchy, in Cornwall ?

...and why do all conspiracy theorists ennunciate their "h"s as "y"s ? For "huge" he says : "yooge", and his "human" is (?). show less

Buried under the mass of misdirection and attempts to sell you membership of his website and/or his newsletter is some useful and thought-provoking information. However his thesis that modern drugs are what is causing most of the ills of the world and that you should follow his regimen and abandon all these drugs to gain health, all the drugs are doing is adding to the ever-increasing coffers of the Drug Companies, who have campaigned through the FDA and FCC to keep Kevin from telling you the truth.

Well his hypothesis that if you eat nothing but over-processed junk you won't be healthy and if you try to eat more organic food and less food with tonnes of junk in them you'll be healthier is true, this is one thing that definitely work. show more (however his assertion that you shouldn’t eat anything you can’t pronounce is a little disingenuous) Also questioning the amount of drugs you’re taking and making sure that the interactions and side effects aren’t causing issues for you, indeed a good thought. However the idea that the earth’s magnetic field is lessening? That you should do 15 colonic irrigations in 30 days? That you need to pay a guy miles away to ensure that your energy is properly balanced? On Page 175, “Do dianetics/scientology.” Yeah, those all hit high numbers on my crank meter.
The other things that rang alarm bells were some signs I’ve seen before of fairly cultish behaviour. He insists he is the only one who knows it all? Yes. There’s a conspiracy to keep the truth from you? Yes. That there’s hidden poisons and toxins in the air/food etc.? yes. That you should avoid news/papers because they’re all lying? Yes. That you should trust him above everyone else? Yes. Sorry, it all comes across as being a large scheme to make a lot of money and to engender guilt and fear. Yes we should question the reasons for prescribing a certain drug and also question the news bias of certain stations but we need to temper it with balance.
So yes the news and the papers are depressing and scary and make you upset, and often they should. Yes they incense you, but they should, you should be fighting for everyone else, you should be aware of things so that you can ask your politician when they turn up at your door looking for your vote what they plan to do to fix it. What you want them to do. Sometimes watching the news reminds us both that there are others in our boat and that there are others who need our help. Avoidance isn’t going to help someone starving on the street, asking where your money is going and why they accept large wages is at least going to make a start.
This is terrible stuff. It repeats itself ad nauseam so that some of it’s invidious message can make it through and I could see that an absolute answer could help some people with minor illnesses. I do not recommend this except as an exercise in how far someone is willing to go to dupe other people. show less

Un po' Beppe Grillo, un po' Alan Carr, un po' Alfio Bardolla. Il testo è pieno di verve, di cose sensate, di sciocchezze abissali. Interessante per chi è statunitense, per chi non lo è potrebbe risultare noioso - visti i continui richiami alla FDA e FTC - oppure consolante, leggendo delle condizioni mediatiche degli USA. Alcuni suggerimenti possono comunque rivelarsi utili, anche solo per prova - per dire, diventa difficile non essere incuriositi dalla idrocolon terapia... :-) Per chi è interessato alla propria salute è un libro utile, a patto di non credere bovinamente a tutto quello che c'e' scritto. Il buonsenso non andrebbe mai messo nella posizione OFF, neppure di fronte alla apparente sensatezza delle tesi presentate.

This book scared the hell out of me. But once i sat down and really thought about it i realized that with a little knowledge and a lot of common sense you can live healthy and somewhat organically. Worth a flip through but don't take it to seriously, books like this give you alot of information, but not a whole lot of answers. Or how to afford all these fantastic organic cures.

Well, this book is an eye opener. That is its chief value, i think. At first, i was kinda enamoured and immersed myself in learning more about what Trudeau said.....i'm glad i did. For that reason Trudeau's book was well worth the money i spent on it. He introduces many healthy ideas that all people should practice. Some of his ideas are common sense, some are understandable, some maybe aren't too crazy, and some are a little looney. All in all though, i think a looney idea can have a therapeutic placebo type affect anyway so, its all good. Now, however, if you want this book to teach you much other than that you should start looking elsewhere for healthy living ideas you will be mistaken. He says his lack of specifics is because the show more FDA is after him, and i believe him, but that didn't help me out much. So expect to have to buy more books after reading this. Also i didn't like his infommercial, brainwashing, treat-me-like-i'm-an-idiot, writing style. I don't need to be propaganda-ized. Finally then--great message, very incomplete info, and crappy writing style. show less
