Kevin Trudeau company has unsatisfactory BBB rating. The Chicago Better Business Bureau has given Kevin Trudeau's Shop America an "unsatisfactory" rating based on its failure to resolve or respond to about 70 consumer complaints. The BBB report also states:

Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record . . . due to a pattern of complaints. Consumers allege dissatisfaction with the Natural Cures book and/or being solicited to purchase information from the company website that is not included in the book as advertised.

The Bureau processed a total of 441 complaints about this company in the last 36 months, our standard reporting period. Of the total, 283 were closed in the last year.

The book to which this refers, Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You to Know About, is being marketed with false claims that (a) drugs do not cure any disease, (B) there are natural cures for virtually every disease, and © drug companies and the government are conspiring to keep this information from the public.

I don't believe in conspiracies. I do believe in normal human motivation, and rest assured, there are a LOT of people who are attempting to squash Trudeau's extremely popular voice - THAT DRUG COMPANIES ARE JUST OUT FOR THE MONEY - AND THAT THERE MAY BE CHEAPER, SIMPLER AND SAFER WAYS TO LOOK AFTER YOURSELF. The FDA says it is against the law to make a "cure" claim for anything except a pharmaceutical drug that has passed their million dollar testing process. So, under their rules, it is ILLEGAL TO SAY THAT AN ORANGE CAN CURE SCURVY. Which of course, it can. Their laws are ridiculous.

As Harvard MD, and Harvard trained Botanist, Dr. Andrew Weil states "For ever pharmaceutical prescription I give, I probably recommend 30-40 different plant based botanical products. Despite this numerical difference, I still see far more harmful effects from pharmaceutical drugs than I do from plant based remedies." Gee ... I guess Harvard Medical School shouldn't have given him 2 degrees ;)

Kevin Trudeau has struck a nerve in American culture and I applaud him for doing so. I don't agree with everything in his book, but some of his simple recommendations, like walk an hour a day and eat less processed foods and manage stress and consider short term fasting (and colon cleansing) ... well, these are all proven and sensible suggestions.

The truth will win ... eventually. The status quo will fall.

Long life and health to all, C.C. :)

Kevin Trudeau is a felon who was convicted for credit card fraud , cashing 80,000 dollars in fake checks while posing as a doctor , and misleading and deceptive advertising . He is a CON artist and anybody who buys into his scams are suckers . Good grief , he served two years in the penitentiary . Do you need to know any more than that to dismiss him as a source for anything legitimate ??

To varying degrees, I agree with at least 80% of what is in Treudeau's book. If teaming a convicted felon with a cornucopia summary analysis of just about everything alternative is supposed to have a particular desired effect (negative), then I would have to say that my threshold for suspecting conspiracy has been broken.

I have to add that many of my patients have asked me about this book and while I like the content, I have a reserved opinion regarding Tredeau based on his past shister like carnival barking.
