Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You To Know About

The book is everything but not exactly what you would expect to get judging by the title. Kevin Trudeau constantly refers to his website where one supposedly would get full explanation for various topics. The only problem is that no one can get any explanation free of charge. Once you land at the website, you will realize that there is almost nothing that you could learn unless you come up with some kind of payment! Otherwise the book has some valid and valuable information. However, there are many other books at the market that discuss natural cures, stress reduction methods, proper nutrition, proper breathing techniques, yoga, etc. They are often not only much more informative but at the same time also cheaper. Just look around Amazon and you will find them. I find the best alternative to “Natural Cures” are books by Mikhail T. such as Cure the Incurable, or a longevity book titled Can we live… They are absolutely noncommercial and full of useful info. In addition, their website is not only free of any charges but also provides some free ebooks on other health issues.

The Natural Cures/Kevin Trudeau company stole money from me!!! Even if you are not buying this book from the infomercial, do not give this man any more money as he is a thief and scam artist who is being pursued by the government on Fraud charges. Once his company gets your credit card information (for their “free” newsletter that was offered with the book) they conveniently keep charging your card long after cancelling your order. I tried to cancel numerous time because I did not want it in the first place but they never did. This company charged me multiple times and refused to give me credit. Finally my credit card company had to get involved because Natural Cures found no record of my multiple requests to cancel what I did not order. The company still refused to refund all my money!

Now, after 6 months, they have started charging my credit card again and are giving me the run around about refunding it. I contacted them over a month ago and they are still telling me it will take another 30 days for a refund for something I did not order. Be wary of this man and this company!

As a Registered Dietitian and a research scientist I highly DISCOURAGE anyone from purchasing any of the books he has published. Some of the material this book has some small glimmer of the truth it may have once been based on, but is twisted out of context to make the results. From my credentials (something he lacks), one should note I am not a “drug company trying to discourage natural cures.” Proper nutrition does make a HUGE impact on disease states, but should not be used with all diseases since sometimes this can result in adverse affects and even DEATH due to interactions or unchecked progression.

Another key problem with his book. Most of the diseases can not be “cured” with the use of one single herbal supplement. The diseases he states, such as scurvy, are known to be easily treated, but others can actually be worsened by use of high doses of vitamins or herbal supplements. The use of a supplement WILL NOT CURE Diabetes Mellitus (DM)!!! Type one DM is caused by the death of a specific cell type (pancreatic beta cells) which prevent the body from PRODUCING insulin. If the body is not producing it, nothing you ingest can be converted in large enough quantities to sustain the body’s needs. Type two DM is due to tissue resistance to insulin and CAN BE CONTROLLED by diet, but only with a proper diet and exercise… NOT SUPPLEMENTS ONLY!

Second point he makes is that the FDA doesn’t want herbals to be sold because they “cure” aliments. This too is a fallacy. The herbal products themselves are not regulated by the FDA, only the label which states claims since they are often NOT BACKED BY REPUTABLE RESEARCH! Some things do work and I myself to take some supplements from time to time for infections (such as cranberry juice for a urinary tract infection), but you must be very careful when purchasing these products. Since they are not regulated, they do not actually have to contain the product they advertise in the quantities they advertise (or at all in some cases. Being a natural product, the concentration will naturally vary by plant and therefore by batch.

This book is highly dangerous and SHOULD NOT BE PURCHASED. There are several much better books out there and if you are interested in more information ask your Doctor to refer you to a REGISTERED DIETITIAN (not a nutritionist, this is not a legally defined term, so they do not have to have any training). The author is correct that most MD’s do not have an in-depth nutritional background, but ALL Registered Dietitians do (as a requirement for the credential we must have at least a Bachelors, have completed and passed an internship and a registration examination similar to a bar exam).

** As recommended by an individual who commented: I view this book as dangerous because it urges people who have to take insulin in order to properly remove nutrients from their circulation to go off their medication and use herbal supplements to treat their condition. Without the use of insulin (in type 1 DM) the patient’s blood glucose will quickly rise, causing ketosis. Before long the pH of the blood changes (because of the release and production of ketones by the body) resulting in metabolic acidosis. This condition as well as an osmotic difference due to the build up of glucose causes very dangerous symptoms. High blood glucose and acidosis are shown to cause a variety of pathologies which could result in at the very least dizziness and fatigue, at the worse, it can cause neuropathy, coma or even death.

While I DO believe a healthy lifestyle can DRASTICALLY decrease the risk of chronic disease, can reduce blood pressure and in the case of type 2 DM can even help an individual return to a normal life, I do not think this book is the best place to go for answers. For those interested in more homeopathic treatment, good luck, but please look elsewhere for guidance.

If you absolutely must take a look at this, as I felt compelled, check it out at the public library first. Very, very poor content. He offers simpleton solutions of his own that are absurd and he’s simply not an authority on the topics he mentions, like how to handle spam.

This may be a rude awakening for the author, but sounds like he’s into that so here goes:

if you’re going to compile a book based upon interviewing others, step up to bat and offer their credentials and quotes and reference their works, not your website in every other paragraph, and your “thoughts.” You are not the authority, and no one wants to read your `thoughts.’ Package those in an essay book or other format, if you like, but you’re putting too many eggs in one basket, and yours are rotten.

If you’re going to knock everything and everyone under the sun for advertising their products, stop advertising yours in every paragraph, too. Otherwise shut up.

And if you hate the USA so much, we’ll all be more than happy to see you go. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, or `gasp’ I’m sure there’d be a book about it from you to let everyone know….sigh……along with all your self promotions in every paragraph. …

Readers: note this is worth all negative stars, but Amazon does not have that option. Do not buy, is my advice. If you must check it out, do that with a library card and on the spot, because after even just two minutes of glancing through any topic and you’ll place it back on the shelf. Pure garbage. There are no cures listed here, just pure junk and links to his cure website.
