Kevin Trudeau: Selling Snake Oil
His book "Natural Cures: What They Don't Want You To Know" is a best-seller. He claims that he knows the natural cures for things like cancer, diabeties, and things like ADD and that these cures are being withheld by various govt agencies and the healthcare system.
On the flip side we have a man who has been convicted twice for credit card fraud, has been convicted by the FTC twice for deceptive claims about products and banned from infomercials. Notice the trend...fraud and deception.
And he's not just banned from infomercials but the following:
"In addition, Trudeau cannot make disease or health benefits claims for any type of product, service, or program in any advertising, including print, radio, Internet, television, and direct mail solicitations, regardless of the format and duration."
See the big picture is this, Kevin Trudeau has tried every medium to peddle his snake oil, and every time has been shut down. Then he found another forum not covered by the conditions of his punishment. It doesn't say anything about publishing a book.
And he still is on tv.
Getting millions of people to buy a Veg-o-matic or a Pocket Fisherman is talent. Getting millions to buy into a conspiracy theory that there are withheld cures for everything and you have to then pay for the truth is exploitation.

Thank you for that post. Sincerely, thank you. I am a diabetic, and my WHOLE extended family is thus. There is no cure for diabetes, and mostly will not be within my lifetime.
People like that man need to be gang-raped by crack-addicted croccodiles.
*edit*
on second thought, for anyone of you out there in laland who need a stalking cause to latch onto, go cure this peckerhead (the author of the book), he makes me itch
