Natural Holistic Health takes a look at Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You to Know About

And offers Natural Cures that We WANT You to Know About

Well, by now we have all seen the infomercial by Kevin Trudeau. Probably many of us have ordered the book, and some of us have even read the book. A few of my clients have asked me what I think about this book…. So here is MY opinion:

I agree with Kevin: He thinks that “It’s all about the money”: He makes this statement many, many times throughout his book Natural Cures They Don’t Want You to Know About. In fact, Chapter 3 is entitled: “It’s all about the money”. I looked carefully within this book for one natural cure and didn’t find one. There were many places that he gave the excuse that various government agencies prevented him from sharing this information, so you, the reader, must go to his website to get this information. When you go to the website, you don’t find any cures there either. What you do find is that he wants even more money to join you up with the promise that he will give you the information when he gets the money. Mr. Trudeau offers a basic monthly membership to get the information that you already paid for with the purchase price of the book for $9.95 a month. You can get a lifetime membership (or until the website goes away) for $499.00. You can get tickets to his seminars (allegedly a $3,000.00 value) in this Lifetime fee. It goes on and on…. My opinion is “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.” I think the book and websites are a scam that is “all about the money.” Nobody gets healthy from being scammed.

I wonder how happy we would be if we bought a brand new music CD only to find a web address inside the cover where we could pay to download the real music….. Kevin Trudeau calls himself a consumer advocate….. Folks, I don’t need an advocate like this on my side. I believe in fair trade.

Another point I feel compelled to address is that Kevin Trudeau portrays himself as an angry person who has been victimized by misinformation from doctors and pharmaceutical companies. He asserts that his communication has been stifled by the FDA and FTC further victimizing him. Somehow he feels vindicated in charging us a great deal of money to “blow the whistle” on all of these “bad guys”. I, in no way am going to argue the validity of his “bad guy” claims, but I feel that as a Naturopath, I need to say something about anger and a victim mentality.

Anger is one of the most deadly poisons that can be put into the human body. There is no greater toxin. Anger kills. There is nothing that will minimize this fact. If you want to live a long, healthy life, manage your anger. Do not entertain angry people. Do not get pulled into angry people’s melodrama. Do not listen to angry music. Do not watch angry movies. Do not read angry books. You pay the price. Healthy people make good health care decisions for themselves. They choose what goes into their body and thoughts. Your immune system actually gains strength when you are happy. Conversely, your own immune is weakened by anger. There could be a bigger price than Mr. Trudeau’s 19.95 plus shipping.

A victim mentality will not allow the body to heal from any disease. Kevin Trudeau certainly pays quite a bit of time expanding on how he believes we are all victims. He explains his story in terms of being victimized by the FDA and FTC. The point here is that healthy people do not see themselves as victims. In fact, they have the power to make their own health care decision and determine the outcome of any health crisis. Many studies have shown that people who accept their diagnosis and see themselves “victims” of their disease, generally do not recover. The disease wins because it has been given all of the power of belief. I do not believe that anyone or anything can victimize you. I believe that the choice of how you perceive events is always yours. Healthy people see themselves as fully empowered and do no subscribe to victim mentality.
