Less Rant and More Information, Please
Kevin spends most of the book ranting about the influence of food and drug manufacturers over the government. Well, tell us something that we do not know already. I appreciate Kevin Trudeau's trials and tribulations to get this information and deal with the bureacracies. But, let's move ahead. I felt ripped off when I mostly just read about "they" and a some references on getting a kidney, liver, etc. cleanse and practice tai chi. Well, thanks, but it would help to toss in some formulas and actual demonstrations instead of a bunch of websites. I am keeping the book for now, just for some websites. Otherwise, it is mostly one man's rant against the system. I received far more health information and entertainment from Dr. Duke's Essential Herbs.

Follow the Money, Naturally
Yes, Mr. Trudeau is a promoter and a bit over the top. But he's also an agent of change and audacious enough to speak out when the Emperor has not clothes. We can all identify with his recurring outburst in the face of endless obtuseness of his adversaries: Mad as Hell and Not Going to Take It Anymore. Remember, if we all were completely reasonable and content people, nothing would ever change.

The author presents a scattergun assault on the establishment truths about health, diet, and medicine, attempting to convey his versions of the truth that he believes are often suppressed - by government agencies, drug companies, and the medical establishment, and even the US Congress. His observations are most interesting for those into conspiracy theories! Even for those who are not, however, the book raises questions about why natural cures for common diseases meet with not just distain but hostility from the "experts". The author suggests that we, like good investigators, follow the money.

The place where the book is disappointing is the way it does not live up to its promise of telling the reader how to prevent and cure diseases through natural means. To often the information turns out not to be in the book but in another publication or on a website. For a book this size, he could have found space for the answers, perhaps in place of recurring repetitive ranting.

Mr. Trudeau's ideas and idiosyncrasies have become part of our household lexicon. We find him fun, challenging, and surprisingly insightful. The book is a good catalyst for thought the diet/health/medicine/drugs/ topics, particularly for those willing to take a radical new look at conventional wisdom and cures. Before we can no longer afford health care at all, why not step back and question what "they" tell you, or don't tell you.

REDUNDANT, REDUNDANT, REDUNDANT
Did I say it was redundant?
Yes, there's some very useful information here and yes the major medical big money machine does suppress & discredit a lot of alternative methods for better health.
BUT, Trudeau is not the best messenger to deliver this insight.
He has got to be the most self centered repetitive wind-bag to ever write a book. This agonizingly long read could have been cut by 2/3 and would have more tolerable.
But no, Kevin refused to allow anyone to edit his stuff. He's PROUD (& that's part of the problem) that NO ONE touched his original manuscript.

>Plus there are some wacky claims here that are way over the top.
(the sun doesn't cause skin cancer, it's the sun blocker that does!)


Bottom line-

Kevin Trudeau would have a LOT more credibility if he'd:

1. Back off a little on all the conspiracy stuff

2. Better research some of his more outrageous claims

3. Hire a trustworthy editor to make his material more professionally presentable

4. Stop being so full of himself.

Some good ideas, and some good research
This book has some good ideas, i enjoyed it. The author knows more about the government than some want to believe. You have to check on some of the "cures" yourself - do more research if you want to be sure.

Those who only review "the author" really should not buy his books. If you think he makes more money than the government OR the drug companies, youre wrong. I've worked for both for many, many years.

WARNING!!! DO NOT GIVE NATURAL CURES YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO!!!
The Natural Cures/Kevin Trudeau company stole money from me!!! Even if you are not buying this book from the infomercial, do not give this man any more money as he is a thief and scam artist who is being pursued by the government on Fraud charges. Once his company gets your credit card information (for their "free" newsletter that was offered with the book) they conveniently keep charging your card long after cancelling your order. I tried to cancel numerous time because I did not want it in the first place but they never did. This company charged me multiple times and refused to give me credit. Finally my credit card company had to get involved because Natural Cures found no record of my multiple requests to cancel what I did not order. The company still refused to refund all my money!

Now, after 6 months, they have started charging my credit card again and are giving me the run around about refunding it. I contacted them over a month ago and they are still telling me it will take another 30 days for a refund for something I did not order. Be wary of this man and this company!
