Has anybody Ever watched Kevin Trudeau on
Discovery channel, or Health Channel?

The Government has tried to sue Him and Shut Him
down.

I feel that anytime the Government wants or is going
to try and sue You, You must be right about something.
Or You have pissed them off!

Sincerely, Ant

He was banned and sued for deceptive business practices. He produced and starred in infomercials for products that did nothing more than line his pockets. He played it fast and loose with his unsubstantiated claims and he got caught.

Here is a sound debunking of one of his infomercials. The man is a modern day snake oil salesman. Nothing more, nothing less.

Well it would not have surprised Me. Do you have any idea what the pharmaceutical industry makes in a year, and what that means to the government and the medical profession? It is astronomical. They are the number one industry in the United States in terms of profits. The US populations spends $200B a year on drugs, a figure that is increasing at the rate of 14% per annum.

We did not need their drugs before. We had natural cures for hundreds of years. The health industry does not want us using them. They want us to pop their pills, for obvious reasons. It only makes sense that the government tries to shut down any opposition to the machine. Honest opposition that is.

Open wide and pop your pills like a good girl or no Santa.

I've heared some people say that stuff that they tried
works.

But I do know that there are natural cures out there..

I use a few natural remedies and pain killers. Some of them are based in hard science, while others simply trick my body into taking care of itself.

My usual fomula is this:
X is an active ingredient in drug Z.
Y produces X.
If Y doesn't work, get a prescription for Z.

I also have a healthy respect for lab-tested medicines. If someone went to all the effort of killing a few white rats for my health, I'm more than ready to use the end product if needs be.

I don't think that I would trust Kevin Trudeau, or the advice in his book, any farther than I could throw a Buick.

However, I must agree with some of what he's said about the medical industry making everything a disease. There is a disorder or syndrome for almost every aspect of the human condition. Very disturbing that, especially if you think of all the social and economic ramifications.

I take everything that I read with a grain of salt and look at the source. Everyone has their own agenda for what they write. I've read snipets of his book and while I think he's just a bit paranoid, he does have some valid points to me. He stresses strongly the use of organic products which is something that I agree with. He believes that most of our sicknesses derive from all of the chemicals that we put on and in our bodies. Just read the labels for your shampoo, soap, moisturizer and food labels...pretty scary!

Yes, and homeopathic remedies do work. That's why they have stood the test of time.
Chemically produced remedies work better in many cases...but if one doesn't want to go to a doctor which I know many of those types. Homeopathic is better than nothing.

I read that book. Taken with a grain of salt, some of it makes a lot of sense.
