Kevin Trudeau's Natural Cures is the best book to buy to make everything clear

[JonathanBrowne]

The interesting thing about Kevins book, is that I heard about it on his infomercial a number of years ago, read some reviews on amazon, and decided against picking it up. The other day though, I saw it at Barnes and Nobles and decided I would give it a try.

What I discovered within blew my mind at its depth and completeness. What kevin is offering here is such a strong solution that I think many people write it off as impossible or skim through it missing a lot of vital information.

The goal of the book is twofold.

1. To educate people who do not have an awareness of the corruption and damage the current health care system is doing to america.

2. Describe quite a few different approaches to curing dis-ease naturally, so that the reader can choose to implement those that are most realistic for them. If you follow the law of attraction, eventually you will implement all of these strategies and methods.

People think he is repeating himself, but what he is really doing is expanding on these two themes with extraordinary depth. Sure, he doesn't list that many actual specific products. The reasons for this are many. For one, its irresponsible and possibly inneffective to use all kinds of products without first consulting a trained and licensed natural health practioner. Also, the FDA naturaly does not allow him to list certain things (so he says, I cant verify the accuracy of that).

Suffice to say though, most everything he talks about you can find actual products for, by doing a quick search on the internet, and if you have the desire you will certainly find what you seek. A lot of whats there is straight foward too. Get a shower filter, eliminate fluoride, eat all organic food, etc. He spends a lot of time explaining why you should do these things to, to motivate you.

I really believe this book has the best chance of being what motivates the average unhealthy person to change their life

What stood out in my mind was how he compared being fit and healthy. He talks about how you can work out in the gym everyday, but still be very unhealthy and die at an early age. He stresses that is important to be both fit and healthy, something most people assume goes hand in hand, but really doesnt.

Have any of you read this book? What did you think?

I agree with you. I borrowed the book from my mom about a month ago and at first was a little overwhelmed, but it really made sense. I read a couple posts here on Kevin Trudeau, and started one myself asking others' opinions and there was a lot negativity related to him. Not necessarily what he's saying or the advice he's giving, but him personally. I agree that he has a somewhat shady past, maybe made some bad decisions and maybe even now he's just trying to make a buck with the books and website. BUT, he could also have changed and maybe does want to help people. People do change... look at Steve's past! Even so, good guy or bad guy, what he says make's a lot of sense, imho, and I would much rather rely on natural cures than prescription or even non-prescription remedies.

On March 5th I started eating organically and giving my son some of the recommended supplements for allergies. His daily runny nose has disappeared since then, and March 5th was the end of his last illness (pneumonia and ear infection treated w/antibiotics). I am counting the days between then and any next illness. He was getting a cold at LEAST once a month before then... they seemed neverending! He is presently healthy and I am loving it!!!

BUT, he could also have changed and maybe does want to help people. People do change... look at Steve's past!

But he says himself that wasn't that bad and their was a conspiracy out to get him.
Steve on the other hand admits that he made mistakes.

[JonathanBrowne]

That is untrue. In the "about the author" for the book, it states that "Knowing from firsthand experience the power of greed, Kevin pled guilty to felonies in his youth and spent almost two years in prison realizing that "the love of money" is the root of all evil. Kevin then reprioritized his life. His new business and person mission statement became, 'We positively impact the whole person.' "

People are perfectly content with paying hundreds of dollars for personal development, but they think its outrageous for this guy to charge $8.00 for a book that can drastically improve your health?

[Michael Clyde]

I agree, Kevin Trudeau has a positive influence on peoples' health and well being. I have personally seen it in several individuals. Many people focus too much on the negativity and only think about how to dispute what he says, instead of considering what he may be saying can be helpful.

One thing that really hit home with me is how corrupt our elected officials are, and how the drug companies are profitizing from it. Okay, maybe I paraphrased a little bit. The same day I read about that in Kevin's book, I was reading in the stock market pages that some senator in New Jersey visited a pharmaceutical company. I forget who, but the point is elected officials need ALOT of money to run for office. They almost always need campaign contributions... and like my college professor used to say,

""If you get the sweet ass, you lose all objectivity."


Somebody on ncd's thread noted something to the effect that drugs are not entirely bad for you, they treat disease, etc.... Yes, some drugs are meant to relieve symptoms of certain illnesses (not cure you, only treat you because almost all pharmaceutical companies are corporations, meaning they look for ways to bring more money to the shareholders).

Curing=less money

Treating=repeat business=more money

CEO+board of directors=[(ethics+morals)^-1] at a 99% probability

Anyway, I have never seen a good drug from a pharmacuetical company. If the label has several possible side affects, then it is poison. It just so happens that poison may alleviate some conditions. People usually die from chemotherapy, not the cancer.

And you attack other people at the same time for their negativity?

If the label has several possible side affects, then it is poison.

Everything has severel possible side effects, but when the possible effects of a drug outweight the negative effect, why shouldn't you take it?

Isn't saying I won't take any drug that helps me when there are a few possible side effects exactly concentrating on Negativity?

[Alex2007]

Kevin T is cool. But he is still a business authority...Just like the pharmaceutical companies and the medical practitioners...

He is one of the best though, and highlights issues that we need to be aware of

Actually what he argues is that, there are Natural Alternatives that can have a higher Benefit TO Side-Effects Ratio than heavily promoted expensive products. THese products are there because of marketing and profit maximization policies and not to promote our health.

Yeah, I did sound a bit negative in my post above. Could have conveyed a more positive message like Alex2007.

Sorry. I am way less negative, I mean, more positive than used to be. And, still improving.

[Alex2007]

Yes but it is true, really true that in his book he doesn't give actual solutions. He always refers you to his website where you have to pay something like $300 yearly subscription...

There are many things that you need to read about Kevin Trudeaus Past before you make your assumptions. But he is right.

And I am still possitive

Thankz

I read his latest book on a Miracle Weight Loss Program. There is a "miracle" process in there that's supposed to make you lose weight, but it requires a specific item that can only be prescribed to you by a doctor so you have to get it done at a clinic or at your doctors office. That part turned me off as I don't think it's necessary.

What I did like about the book, is that the other 99% of the advice he puts in there that you do at the same time as getting this specific thing done is GOOD, and I really think it is that 99% that makes you lose weight. The "miracle" could just as easily be "do the hokey pokey", as long as you do the other 99% you'll lose weight.

Once again, his book misses an important point which is that it isn't as much about knowing what needs to be done to be healthy, but DOING it!

To lose weight easily, get rid of ALL synthetic chemicals, in the water you drink and the foods you eat.

It is a herculean task, especially if you live in the U.S., (why do you think americans are the fattest people in the world !) but well worth it.

Synthetic chemicals are deadly to the body and additionally slow down the natural metabolism of the body.

Watch a movie from the 40's, look at the extras in the backgound, before the take over by synthetic chemicals.

How many fat people, in the background, do you see in the movie ?

That's it huh? So it has nothing to do with our enormous portion sizes and reduced activity? Wow, thanks for clarifying.

[bigadam]

Kevin Trudeau is a monster and a snake. Morally, I simply cannot seperate the author from the message. If Osama bin Laden sold a miracle weight loss pill, I would not buy it.

I think anyone's opinions and views should be examined, if only for the simple fact that it may give us more insight into our own belief system.

I read the book and agree with the gist of it. I feel that it does have a bit of pointing the finger at "them," but then again, some finger pointing needed to be done in order to explain why he was saying what he was saying.

As a professional in the medical field myself, I try and deliver care that revolves around letting the body do the job it was designed to do. Yes, we have come very far in medical technology, but we are also having to give pills to address the side effects of the pills that we take for X ailment. It becomes a hand-over-fist venture.

Doctors are not the bad guys, they simply have their own way of approaching things. In my experience, doctors are trained to "fix" a problem. That's why we go to a doc right, to get something fixed? Many people in our society today cannot or will not wait for long term wellness, and want relief NOW. So what is a doc to do? If you a know a patient will likely be noncompliant (consiously or not) will you advise to keep up a regimen that they are unlikely to follow (calling the doc a "quack,") OR, will you give them something that they will see immediate results?

With the advent of medical knowledge at our fingertips right on the internet, we have a well-informed patient base. But, with the advertising of medications right on TV, we also see many self-diagnosers who think they have a problem where they do not...even to the point of fitting their symptoms in with what the commercial said the medication was appropriate to treat. How do you combat this? Is the doctor to blame for taking the patient's complaints seriously and prescribing accordingly?

There are no easy or immediate answers, but I, for one, am always pleased to see many thought processes out there regarding medical care. We should all be self advocates of our own care.

Exercise is far more important than diet where weight and overall health are concerned.

If you're really hung up on diet though, you can always go raw or juice feast for a while.

Right Dan, you're totally correct about exercise. I forget to add that.

To put my comment more in context, I did an experiment.
I quit "chemicals" cold turkey. (Processed foods, pesticides on vegetables, city tap water, etc.)

I've always had a pretty big bulge in my stomach area.

After quitting the chemicals, and having the same diet (minus the chemicals) and not doing anything different, the bulge completely disappeared.
That to me, showed me and started me on the path of researching the effects of chemicals in our diets.

InfiniteThoughts, processed foods are typically very calorie-dense, are not made with the best ingredients and the processing tends to destroy nutrients. How much of the changes in your body were due to eliminating that versus the rest of the "chemicals" you've eliminated from your diet? Also, how can you be sure? I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but it seems to me that, given what you've posted, it's difficult to truly attribute your body changes strictly to the elimination of "chemicals." Getting rid of all the simple carbs and such from the processed foods is bound to have had an effect, too.

Right I see what you're saying and agree that the carbs in processed foods do definitely play a factor.

I'd just add that it's logical that, chemicals slows down the metabolism in the body.
Add to that, the body has to work harder to process and eliminate the chemicals.

Besides eliminating the chemicals, I didn't do anything different, exercise, etc.
