Does anyone believe in "Kevin Trudeau" and should his ideas apply to runners?

Trudeau is so reputable that he was convicted in the 90's of using the credit card numbers of his customers. What a bunch of f***ing losers who bought his book.

Kevin Trudeau has a book called "Natural Cures" which covers many topics in health. The part that most concerns me(a runner)if you are to believe him is that most Americans eat foods that are poisonous including super market food, vitamins, any resturant food(especially fast food), and specialized stores for body building! Personally I think he make's some good points. If you believe what he saids to be true I can see why American distance runners would suffer the most as the result of poor nutrition served here in America. It may not make a difference to the aveage man or women but for the elite long distance athlete it could make all the diffence in the world. Personally I think it should be a must read for serious runners. Like a "race car" the best premium fuel should be used!.....so the problem is that most of the elite runners in America are eating poorly and thinking they are eating healthy....when in fact they are actually eating JUNK!

are there others who believe this to be true?

I was also wondering the same.

Has anyone read his book? For the first time in my life, I actually considered buying something (his book) from an infomercial.

Natural Cures? What happened to his "memory" books? The guys a joke...

The guy is a quack. Some of his recommendations are actually dangerous. He says you should have 15 colonics over a 30 day period...that could lead to eloctrolyte imbalances and heart problems. He is also a convicted felon and a thief.

One thing for sure...he wants your money, and he seems to be getting it.

Visit www.patsullivan.com and www.jigsawhealth.com for a more realistic look at these issues, and how diet and processed foods affect your body.

His book is the #1 best seller in nonfiction. He's also been locked up several times for fraud.

I bought his book and I think that the info in it is great. He sucks at writing though, and most of it is highly repetitve.

He's no more of a liar than the pharmaceutical industry, though.

he's a scientologist jerk-off looking to get your money...dont buy his book!!

this idiot says laughing is a cure for cancer. he goes on to say adults only laugh, on average, 5 times a week while children laugh an average of 10,000 times a week. I dont know if anyone has calculated that out, but laughing an average of 10,000 times means kids laugh once every minute for a week...without sleeping.

At least he can admit that he did something wrong. That's what is wrong with America - nobody can admit when they are wrong. George Bush isn't wrong about Iraq, the economy, the environment, gay rights, or anything. George Bush suck my weiner.

The guys a quack. He's had so many civil

law suits slapped on him it's unbelievable.

How about that pyramid scam that cost a

$1000 just to get started. That law suit

is still pending in Minnesota.

Please steer clear of anything and everything Kevin Trudeau. He is a convicted crook who takes advantage of desperate and angry couch potatoes, and has been an infomercial regular for 10 years now. Do some research about this guy and his shady past, including the infamous Coral Calcium scam with Bob Barefoot. Remember those days?

Listen, all of his info on natural cures is available elsewhere. Yes, the pharma industry has its bad and expensive dark side, but they also produce miracle products that cannot be duplicated by natural means unfortunately. But if you do go natural, don't read about it from Trudeau.

Are we to continue to put all are faith in the FDA, FTC, and drug companies?

Yep, at least it is better to believe in science than a weekend TV warrior who claims to know everything about human diseases and has the solution in his book. I wish he stops playing with the emotions of real sick people who stay up late due to chronic diseases and left with no options but watch his kind of ridicules crap!

This is utter trash in the long time-honored anti-science vein that the American rabble eats up. The guy is a complete quck in the same vein as creation science and intelligent design. He has Tammy Faye for a sidekick and, as a librarian, I can tell you from experience it is the religious numbskulls (who are already prepared to hate "elites and "experts" who espouse a science they are too stupid to understand) who buy into this crap. The guy said on his infomercial that most diseases don't exist including MS. His rants against the FDA and modern science should throw up immediate red flags to anyone with a brain.

Medical science has failed.

In the eradication of smallpox? Nope. In pushing for better water supplies so that you, in your status as a citizen of a developed nation, no longer suffer from bouts of cholera and dysentery? Nope. In the near reduction to zero incidence of childhood diseases like Measles, Mumps, Rubella, H. influenzae, Parvovirus, etc., etc.? Nope. Reducing the incidence of invasive streptococcal disease? Nope.

Jesus. It's always the spoiled 1st nation folks that bitch and moan about medical science failing. Are there shortcomings to the medical field? Certainly. Just as there are in any field (although the stakes are higher in medicine). But what most people get upset about is a product of selfish business men who prod and poke the administration of medicine on a huge scale. It is not medicine's fault, it's the corruption of its administration for financial gain. It's a developed world paradox in the US. No more soapbox, save to say that the things you take for granted by medical science are more numerous than the stars and if you had any idea of the sufferings of those in lower- and lowest-income countries, you'd realize that medical science is one of the few things not failing in this world.

Free enterprise certainly hasn't failed. There's a sucker born every minute.

As long as fools continue to buy snake oil, there will be snake oil salemen getting rich. Support the quack, buy his stupid book.
