Here’s some selected excerpts from Kevin Trudeau’s first Natural Cures book:

Quote:
21. AIDS is one of the greatest hoaxes and deceptions ever perpetrated on the American public. Books:

Quote:
20. Do not eat pork. It is a highly toxic, diseased food. A pig eats anything and everything, including its own feces. The meat is laced with disease and viruses. The human body virtually goes into toxic shock by consuming pork; the digestive system works nonstop in overdrive for up to eighteen hours trying to breakdown (digest) and neutralize it, not being able to completely digest it because it?s so toxic. Going off pork can increase energy and change attitudes. Try it.

Quote:
? Tap water ? This water contains many toxic chemicals (chlorine, fluoride, etc.). Chlorine causes scarring of the arteries, which leads to arteriosclerosis (LDL attaches cells to walls). People drink, bathe, and shower in tap water and swim in chlorinated water, which is why heart disease is so prevalent today.

Quote:
Stay away from electric tumble dryers. They?re electric and create electromagnetic fields (massive amounts of positive ions), which suppress the immune system, and cause depression and anxiety. Clothes are also charged, so it?s better to wear clothes that are line-dried. You?ll feel emotionally and physiologically better!

Quote:
Wear white. Colors affect energy. The closer you get to white, the more positive energy you bring into your energetic field. This may not be practical, but you will notice feeling much better when you do it.

Quote:
4. Eyes. Toxins can enter in through your eyes. Solar energy enters the eyes, but is not believed to be toxic. Decreased sun exposure leads to disease and imbalances. However, what are toxic are images, which cause negative emotions. For example, today we are exposed to more than 1,000 times the amount of negative images than we were just twenty years ago and 10,000 times more than seventy-five years ago. And this causes acidity in the body.

Quote:
“Resistance Exercise ? This includes weight lifting and resistance machines. This is unnatural and can lead to disproportional sizes and strengths of soft tissues, which causes decreased flexibility leading to a decrease in the flow of energy through the body. Still, it?s better than nothing at all.”

Quote:
“7. Cellular Exercise ? There is only one type: Rebounding (i.e., jumping on a trampoline). This affects every cell in the body (simultaneously strengthens and stimulates), which causes an increased movement through the lymph system, stimulating every cell?s ability to eliminate toxins and increases the strength and vitality of every cell in the body. You only have to jump five minutes a day. This increases oxygen to your cells, which leads to a decrease in cancer cells (they can?t live in an oxygen-rich environment). Increased oxygen leads to increased alkalinity, where disease and illness cannot exist. Increased movement of the lymph causes an increase in the elimination of toxins. This cellular exercise also opens up the channels of energy, leading to an increase in life force and vitality of the cells, a decrease in acidity, and a decrease in the suppression of the immune system, which means there is less chance of disease.”

Quote:
"A healthy person has no body odor, no bad breath, no foot odor, nor urine or stool odor, etc. (i.e., no toxins coming out); "

Quote:
Consume absolutely no diet food or diet sodas. Diet sodas have been called the “new crack” because they appear to be so physically addicting. They actually make you fat. The reason they are promoted so heavily is because people become physically addicted to them and they are cheaper to make than regular sodas. I did an interesting experiment with people who drank diet sodas on a regular basis. For two weeks they replaced their diet soda with regular high-calorie sugar sweetened soda. Amazingly, no one gained any weight. Actually, even more shocking, 80 percent of the people lost weight. One person lost seven pounds! This was stunning to me. Diet foods fall into the same category.

Quote:
I believe one of the major causes of cancer, as well as one of the major causes of multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, ADD/ADHD, fibromyalgia, arthritis, lupus, and virtually all diseases, is eating food that has been in a microwave oven. You are reading this right. Let’s consider that the Nazis invented microwave ovens.

He sure sounds like a reliable source of information to me! Oh yah, and he also endorses Dianetics/Scientology.

Anyone who reads a Kevin Trudeau book and takes it seriously has had their credulity meter broken.

Wow,you posted all the weird stuff in his book.
Awesome job!
Why not post all the good things he does advocate?

Consuming flaxseed/fish oil

Lifting weights,etc.

Juicing

Eating organic meat

Drinking fluoride free water

Disconintue use of refined sugar

Staying away from white flour

Staying away from hydrogenated oils

Alerting people about the “trans fat fee” craze. Showing them that bag of chips that says “0 grams trans fatty acids” actually has 0.5 grams of trans fatty acids; and how companies can put that on their goods since it’s under one gram.
I think he was one of the first people to say this.

He advocates consuming raw dairy

Hell,if you call all those things “crazy” than I guess I am guilty of being crazy.
[/quote]

The difference is everyone who is the least bit health conscience knows the stuff you listed.

No need to read a liar con artist felons book to get that info.

Don’t forget Trudeau claims sun screen CAUSES skin cancer.

I have issues with sun screen but his claims are bogus and detract from the real issues.

Well put.
However,I’d have to correct a few things you said.
The assholes in congress accept so many bribes,I wouldn’t even trust any of them.

I believe the FDA have been caught offering bribes to our wonderful law makers.
Secondly,the drug companies don’t improve life.
Only in crisis situations they do.
In other words,drugs ARE necessary if you get into a car wreck.
However,drugs do not prevent or cure disease.

Drugs do not improve the quality of peoples life’s-what little quality they have left since the drug companies robbed them of their health and money.
Vioxx killing one hundred thousand people isn’t what I call safe.
Nor is kids overdosing on antidepressants and killing their teachers and parents what I call safe either.

If there was a cure for diabetes,the FDA would violently debunk the company selling it,and put them in prison because,once again,you cannot sell a drug without a license.
Drug companies would go out of business because they have to increase shareholder value.

They cannot increase shareholder value if they have no to very little sick people buying their cancer drugs.
I agree with most of what you’re saying though.
Great taste in books.

All this kind of shit ignore two basic facts of reality:

The profit motive - if these cures existed ,they would be a gold mine. No way they wouldn’t be exploited.

You are kidding right?
I feel sorry if you put that much faith into our government.
If there are,and there are, natural cures,they would be exploited.
If everyone was taking a cure for diabetes,the American Diabetic association would be out of business.
If people stopped eating shitty food and exercised and used natural treatments to treat and cure their asthma,the American Asthmatic association would be out of business.
These drugs companies operate on money.
They have to increase shareholder value.
You really should read what the former FDA commissioner said before he passed away.
They’ll exploit any natural remedies because they don’t want to admit their wrong doings,nor do they want to stop making money.
Their drugs treat symptoms and never get to the root-cause.
Because lazy,fat Americans don’t want to exercise,or eat right,they rely on drugs,the wonderful quick fix, to fix their problems,when, in reality,they’re just going to band aid their symptoms and not treat the root-cause of their disease.

First, Cthulhu is cool fucking handle. I have been a Lovecraft fan since I was 9 or 10 years old.

Second, I agree with everything you say vis a vis the American people are a bunch of fat lazy fucks.

Third, what does the gov’t have to do with the profit motive? Yes, there are natural cures - a clean diet and exercise will fix a whole lot of issues for everyone that is mobile. The issue is that there is no money in it. If someone did come up with a diabetes cure tomorrow, it would spread like wildfire. Neither the gov’t or anyone else could stop it. People with the disease would move heaven and earth to get it.

I don’t think there is a conspiracy in the sense that there is a group of people colluding, and planning the next step in detail, but we do have a situation where three groups of very powerful organizations have an interest in maintaining the status quo.

The assholes in congress live off of corp donations. In return they are beholden to their corporate masters. You don’t get something for nothing. They influence strongly, if not outright control the actions of the FDA and other agancies.
The drug industry needs sick people. Without them they have no reason for existence. And most of what they come up with are bandaids for symptoms, not cures. To give them their due, however, they do help millions improve quality of life, and they are in business to make money after all. Also, if the cure is diet and exercise (as in many cases of diabetes) and people won’t do it, you can’t blame them for selling them a drug.
The food industry is selling us poison as fast as they can. Everything from high fructose corn syrup, to trans-fats, to god knows what else is in manufactured foods.

2 and 3 above feed cash to 1. 1 makes sure things stay profitable for 2 and 3.
2 and 3 feed cash to 1. The circle of corruption goes round and round.

Do you even understand how our government works? You sound like a young kid. The FDA was never caught giving any bribes to lawmakers much like the other false crap you’re making up. The FDA bribing lawmakers would be like the health department bribing lawmakers to make sanitation policies looser. At least get your criticisms right. It goes a little something like this;
Pharmaceutical companies hire lobbyists and in some way contribute to the politician getting reelected in the future in some financial way.
The politicians in return work to alter the FDA in a way that favors the drug companies. This could be by appointing FDA heads that are in favor of drug companies and will do what they want or by the politicians directly influencing matters by altering FDA’s power with new legislation.

Sunscreen reduces the bodies natural production of vitamin D. Reduced vitamin D has been linked to many cancers.

I think sunscreen should be used only occasionally, such as at the beach, not every day.

I haven’t seen it yet. When did you mail it?
