    Default KEVIN TRUDEAu (please read paige)

    Ok, first i know how most of you feel, this post is mainly for paige. Tina (the mod) and i both agree about this man. First, i just want to say, i was watching an infomercial with him on it and he is not SELLING his books (there's 2) but giving them away!!!! The only thing you have to pay for is SHIPPING!!!!! please everyone get and read these books! He is right on target. to tell you a story i have a custy that has high blood pressure, his doctor wanted to up his dosage w/ his meds. i bought him these books, and he weened himself off the meds and has done the "natural cure" and guess what....his blood pressure is lower than it should be! Paige the reason why i really want you to get this is because i know cancer runs in your family, i believe he knows what he is talking about, and i think you should give it a try.


    please i don't want to be down poured with a negative response, i just want to voice my opinion about what i belive can really help everyone.

    I think it's a good idea for preventative measures. As far as his claims that his book contains cures for cancer, uhhh... no.

    Did you see that 20/20 expose on him? He seems kinda shady.

    Mia is right. This guy is full of shit. I don't know why he's giving away books but I'm sure it's somehow part of his most recent scam. The smoking gun has chronicled his scam-laden past (the federal trade commission thinks he's a con artist) and posted his indictment for credit card fraud.

    Appreciate the sentiment, but his legal issues and lack of proof has me WAY, way, way as far away from this dude as I can get.

    I'm sure someone can pitch in with natural/alternative healing books that are more reputable, though -- perhaps Scarlett Vancouver?

    As in all things in life...with health...thoughts become things. What you think about you bring about. You do it in your everyday life...usually by default/unconcious creation...but when you realize the power of the mind, you won't need anything else.

    Never read these books...but sometimes you have to look past the messenger and just listen to the message.

    I dont know of this guy, but I am totally convinced that there are plenty of cures for cancer aswell as it being preventable. I dont believe in orthadox medicine at all geberally speaking I dont care to debate it as most people would rather trust their doctors and pharmaceutical companies - and each to their own... I recomend searching curezone.com for leads to more info on alternative health and healing of all sorts. Also scour the book section of health food stores and the pages of alternative health magazines. Nexus magazine is good and is available internationally. They have shitloads of alternative health books for sale aswell as lots of great articles

    Edited to add: I just googled kevin Trudeau and I'm definatly interested in reading his books. I have read many things in the same vein and am guessing that Im going to be familiar with some of the stuff he talks about.

    Actually, he's been convicted of fraud in the past, not just prosecuted. In fact, he's been repeatedly convicted in the past. So much so that the only loophole in the system that he could use at his disposal to scam more people with empty promises, fake "cures" and no scientific evidence was to write a book. He's legally not allowed to pitch CDs and videos anymore on an infomercial because of his prior fraud convictions but a book is protected under the 1st Ammendment differently so he can scam people that way.

    Kevin's got an answer for this too. See, it's all this big giant conspiracy that the alternative medicine people (the ones who don't want to be quoted, have their work cited, or have viewed by piers) claim exists. See, all the "big medicine" companies don't want you to know about Kevin's miracle snake-oil remedies because then they'll lose on all the money. Never mind the huge loophole in that logic that if these remedies existed, the "big medicine" companies would be mass-producing it and selling it themselves for billions of dollars.

    OLD NEWS, and this is his quote " virtually every intereview i do starts off with the fact that i plead guility to two felonies that i commited 20 years ago. in my youth i bounced checks, and applied for several credit cards and put false info on the applications.i took full responsibility for my ations, paid full restitution, and spent 2 years in prision."

    Actually, he did a lot worse than that. One of his convictions involved misappropriation of credit card numbers he obtained from one of his Infomercials. In other words, people called to order one of his products (the mega-memory program I believe) and with the credit cards they used to purchase this program, he then charged again under false pretences. This is a lot more than just a little infraction as he would like you to believe. He stole over $120,000 from American Express alone. The only reason he brings it up is because he knows that if he doesn't head it off at the pass, someone else will bring up the fact that he is a repeated felon and scam artist so he brings it up first to diffuse the issue as much as he can. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me multiple times, I'll call you Kevin Trudeu.

    Natural Cures was listed in September 2005 by the New York Times as the number one selling current nonfiction book in the United States for 25 weeks, and has sold over five million copies.
    god help us all.


    long - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...102201272.html

    If you don't want to read the book:
    Get an electromagnetic chaos eliminator. Do some "bioenergetic synchronization." Give yourself some enemas, and then give yourself some more enemas. Wear white, for positive energy. Don't use a microwave or an electric tumble dryer or fluorescent lights or artificial sweeteners; don't dry-clean your clothes or use swimming pools or eat pork. Don't use deodorant (causes cancer) or nonstick cookware (causes cancer) or watch the news (stress alters your body's pH, which can make you get cancer). Remove the metal fillings from your mouth, and you're all set!

    Trudeau's "Natural Cures" also references several helpful Web sites. One claims that if you stare into the sun every day while barefoot, you won't need food anymore. Another sells an instrument that looks rather like an index card but which promises to open a "temporal and spatial gate" that "enables an individual's entire etheric system to interface with a very large, complicated, partially automated, predefined healing process."

    wikipedia's description of criminality:
    1990: Larceny & prison

    Trudeau's legal problems are long-standing. In 1990, he posed as a doctor in order to deposit $80,000 in false checks, and in 1991 he pled guilty to larceny after he had provided false information to obtain credit cards which he used for his own purposes. He spent two years in prison because of this conviction. (Choi, 2005) Most people in opposition to Trudeau's claims point to this felony conviction as a good reason not to trust him.
    [edit]

    1996: SEC

    Trudeau rebounded, making a small fortune working for Nutrition For Life, a multi-level marketing program. However, in 1996, his recruitment practices ran afoul of the states of Illinois and Michigan, as well as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Michigan went so far as to forbid him from operating in the state.
    [edit]

    1998: FTC fine

    Then, in 1998, he was forced to pay $500,000 in consumer redress to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), relating to six infomercials he had produced and in which the FTC determined he had made false or misleading claims.
    [edit]

    2004: Contempt of court

    In June 2003, the FTC filed a complaint in the Northern District of Illinois against Trudeau and some of his companies (Shop America (USA), LLC, Shop America Marketing Group, LLC, and Trustar Global Media, Limited), alleging that disease-related claims for Coral Calcium Supreme were false and unsubstantiated. In July 2003, Trudeau entered into a stipulated preliminary injunction that prohibited him from continuing to make the challenged claims for Coral Calcium Supreme and Biotape.

    In the summer of 2004, the court found Trudeau in contempt of court for violating the preliminary injunction, because he had sent out a direct mail piece and done an infomercial making prohibited claims. The court ordered Trudeau to cease all marketing for coral calcium products.

    In September 2004, Trudeau agreed to pay $2 million to settle charges that he falsely claimed that a coral calcium product can cure cancer and other serious diseases and that a purported analgesic called Biotape can permanently cure or relieve severe pain.[2]

    Kevin started his latest book deal after hosting a very successful infomercial for Dr. Barefoot:

    http://www.coralcalcium-supply.com/

    Lookup Dr. Barefoot's book - it's about 1/5 the words as Kevin's, with all the original message.
