   I haven’t looked at his books personally,but just from watching the infomercial is immediately came off as propaganda to me.He was metioning that the cure to obesity was used by many celebrities and a “Princess”,and that you can lose a pound a day.Losing a pound a day isn’t healthy.Maybe I should read it before i judge,but it’s hard to believe.If something sounds too good to be true,it usually isn’t true.

   Here is a review from Amazon(notice the average rating is only 2 stars):

   I purchased this book from a website which sells Kevin Trudeau’s books and other propaganda. Please don’t waste your money! While the beginning of the book does provide valuable information regarding the food industry, food additives, etc there are many other books written about those same subjects which don’t have another agenda – the almighty dollar! “Fast Food Nation” for instance offers a good look at many of these same subjects without operating under the guise of providing the reader with an answer to their weight loss/gain issues. Information for the sake of informing the reader is the objective of books such as “Fast Food Nation” while this piece of trash has the objective of making someone spend their hard earned dollars to buy a book which delivers nothing but ridiculous weight loss “plans” and common sense hints.

   For instance, in Phase 1 you are advised to do such common sense things such as drink water, walk, eat breakfast, eat dinner before 6 p.m., eat salads, stay away from artificial sweetners, limit carbonated drinks, no fast food, etc. If these things I mentioned are not common sense to you then perhaps you should move out of the cave you are living in and turn on the tv, read a book or wake up the hamster which runs in the wheel in your head so the power to your brain can be turned on again. Also in Phase 1, however you are encouraged to get colonics every other day, use a colon clense product (of which he provides the websites for purchasing), take tons of natural/herbal supplements (also providing websites for purchasing), sweat 20 minutes a day in an infrared sauna, get sun (hard to do during the winter in the Northeast, I assure you), get as many massages as possible, do as many yoga sessions as possible (in addition to walking 1 hour a day, doing mini-trampoline exercising 5-10 minutes 1 or 2 times a day), listen to de-stressing cds (also available to purchase), lift weights (on top of the other activities you should do), etc. WHOA! Not only would you have to be rich (I’m sure Kevin is with sales of books, products and all the credit card scams he ran in the 90s-do a google search) but have no job or family since you won’t have time for any of those things while doing your new full-time Kevin Trudeau weight loss “job”.

   I know, personally, that weight loss and gain are a constant struggle however spending your money making some slimeball rich because he says he has the answer is not the way to do it. Speak with your doctor and he or she will be able to give you some guidelines. Then do those common sense things mentioned earlier and you’ll be on your way. However, most important is to do your best and LOVE YOURSELF as you are.

   I’m pretty sure the “cure” is a fraud:

   Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. I think he makes some good points. I read the books and at one point he talks about people with breathing problems may be lacking water. Having breathing problems myself , I started drinking plenty of water and you know my breathing did improve, so much that I was able to get off my Advair. So it is OK to be skeptical but you must keep an open mind.

   I haven’t actually got a chance to read his books, but I like watching him. I’ve scanned through one and it did seem to be lacking substance, but I don’t think he’s a fraud either. He’s telling the truth, but you wont be able to find all the information in his books. He’s better as a motivational speaker, an informer about the corruption of the FDA & FTC.

   my dad has read all his books and I’ve just so far skimmed through them. If you’re interested in the FDA and other secrets go to this website. its amazing

   I’ve only read the first book, “Natural Cures”, and if you can get past the repetition of his experiences with the FDA, etc then I think it’s a good read. It may at least make you curious and try to find out more about the things he’s mentioned. I’ve followed some suggestions in the book (all organic, trampoline, apple cider vinegar, whole food vitamins to name a few) and I’ve noticed that I am feeling better, have more energy. Since I’m not rich, I can’t try everything he suggests, and until someone can present a good argument as to why his suggestions are crap or won’t work, I think I’ll continue to try some of the things, see how it goes and if I’m feeling better or seeing results, will keep doing it.

   I met him once when he was working with a multi-level marketing company. He is avery inspirational speaker. I am glad to see he is involved with something that is of more substance. He is involved with hydro-therapy for colon cleanzing, which is an answer to many disease. People walk around with all sorts of waste inside of them, which rots and causes toxicity. I haven’t read his book, but I am sure it is as accurate as other books: there is fact and fiction mixed.

   He writes better than he speaks. His weight loss diet works as he says it does. I have seen it work. If you follow it exactly as he says, you will lose 20 – 40 pounds in 30 to 45 days. It is definitely not like Adkins, or any of the other diet fads like Jenny Craig, etc.

   My friend lost 6.5 pounds first day and as he says, lost one pound per day. The fat she lost was around the waste, thighs, and hips.

   The FDA is definitely not an organization that is for the consumer. It is there to allow U.S. companies to get enough basic testing of a substance and then unleashed on the public for final testing. If you don’t believe this, just look at all the drugs and other substances that have been recalled, have caused diseases, and even death. Look at Zolair, the asthma drug that the FDA approved and now is telling doctors that they can still prescribe this garbage, but . . . . . to watch patients 2 hours after they give it, because the person may go into anaphalaxis shock. To train the patient what to do if they go into shock because this can happen up to 24 hours after the shot is given and that even though they have not ever had a reaction to it before, it can happen and the patient has a chance of dying of this. This is just one example of the insanity.

   The science behind Trudeau’s books are sound, even though he sounds a little wacked out when you hear him speak. If you believe the books are a lot of hype, you need to evaluate both sides of the issues with an open mind. Just look at the statistics rather than trusting the so called experts like the FDA that you absolutely cannot trust for a moment to look out for your health. They are not about health, they are about big business.

   The bottom line is that the weight loss system Trudeau talks about in his book, works. I’ve seen it with my own eyes and was a skeptic. I have also seen people on all the other diets that cause you to lose weight and then gain it right back, become dependent upon the diets, and not become healthy as a result, just as Trudeau claims.

   Now look at the American diet, what nutritionists are recommending these days and the results. 75% of all Americans die of heart disease. 30% are obese. 70% are overweight. Pavlov Aerola, a very famous vegetarian was as close to being a vegan as anyone, died at 62 years old of a stroke. Adelle Davis, the famous nutritionist, was trained in dietetics and nutrition at the University of California at Berkeley, and got an M.S. degree in biochemistry from the University of Southern California in 1938, and died in her early 70′s of cancer.

   Now look at cultures around the world that are healthier than the U.S. That is not difficult to do, American now ranks 24th in longevity. 23 other countries in the world have people that live longer than in the U.S. Many of these cultures produce very healthy individuals and they eat huge amounts of saturated fats, no diet this and that like Americans, and are not overweight. Just look at the Eskimo that eats huge amounts of saturated fat and ask yourself why? It’s very simple, actually, they don’t eat high omega 6 fatty acids the way Americans do and the animal fats they eat are very healthy for them, unlike the vegetable oils like Soy based garbage and Canola oils Americans are wolfing down. No wonder the new statistic for women is that 1 in 7 now get breast cancer.

   good luck to you

   You know, I think one of the reasons the FDA “forbade him from releasing” his cure for diabetes and what not is probably that his methods were not sufficiently backed by experimental data. The problem is he’s going around saying he has a “cure” for diabetes when the word “cure” is a highly regulated term that requires LOADS of experimental data from numerous sources to back it up in order to get the FDA stamp of approval. That’s why so many alternative products say it “may” help relieve the symptoms, followed by a footnote saying that the FDA hasn’t reviewed or confirmed their claims. I think he’s just milking the whole “FDA won’t let me say it” thing just to up the curiosity factor and thus boost sales.
   I took a look through his book and saw his infomercial, and I’m not impressed. The book mostly gives you tidbits of useless info and says you can get the rest of it if you sign up at his website. Sounds like a wild goose chase that’ll end you up paying loads more than you should.
   And most of his advice is just plain common sense. Case in point, eating organic, not eating aspartame, not eating preservatives, etc. If you eat like a human being would in the wild — the diet for which our bodies were designed — you’ll avoid innumerable health issues.
   And the FDA isn’t the enemy. Remember, lobbyists are in congress. They’re the ones you have to watch closely.

    I would love to believe he’s out to help the public, but asking $999 to access his website for more information really ticks me off.

    Yeah, I spent the money and bought the first book–what a waste!!! Remember your book reports in grade school when you wrote very very very very very so that you could stretch the report??? Kevin was so repetitive I couldnt’ finish the book. Every paragraph had “I’m mad as hell!” Just about every other sentence. I wanted to say, “Okay, I get it, you’re upset that the FDA is keeping this stuff from the public, but tell me exactly WHAT secrets they are keeping–that’s what I bought the book for–to learn the secrets!!!” Yeah–it’s a ripoff.
