Do you agree with Kevin Trudeau, supporter of natural remedies in curing diseases?

Question

In his book, "The Natural Cures they don't want you to know about", he exposed natural remedies in preventing and curing many diseases. He claimed that natural remedies are so effective and cheap that FTC doesn't allow our medical community to utlize these methods. After all, drugs companies are publicly traded companies, and they are all about making profits.
Many cancer patients who have used natural supplements with chemotherapy have had higher chance of survival rate. However, he claims that our medical system still do not recommend using these natural methods as they will cut down main profits.

Answer 1

Yes, I have read both of his books and do agree with him on much of the materials contained in those publications.I personally have little use for conventional medicine and have through my own personal experiences seen the benefits of alternative treatments. I do recommend his books to many people as they not only contain a wealth of useful information but are easy to understand and written in a compelling style. I have heard a few disparaging remarks about the motives of Mr Trudeau and frankly I could care less about that. As far as I am concerned he has reached many people that would not not normally be open to this type of information and in this way made an impact that few others have achieved. Making a difference to this" hard to get at group" is the beginning of more widespread acceptance of the health information that's in this book and that is sorely needed in this country and around the world.

Answer 2

I have been in natural health for nearly 30 years. It seems that Trudeau has a lot of information so I bought that book. I was very dissapointed. the book is just another advertizing gimick telling you what important information he has but you have so subscribe to a very expensive newsletter and another expensive web site to actually get the answers. I was very dissapointed. You are better off going to your local health food store and getting a book there or asking the folks who work there what they recommend. For the sore throat, I would recommend putting some sea salt in warm water and gargling with some then running some up through your nose and sinuses with a neti pot (available on line and in health stores). If you can't get a neti pot at this time, you could use an eye dropper but that is not as effective or comfortable. You may like to take ecanacia and vitamin C to boost the immune system. Eating lots of fresh green veggies, garlic and some fresh fruit every day, drink at least 8 glasses of water or tea each day. Sleep when you are tires, eat when you are hungry. Take a moderate walk each day. Avoid sugar, alcohol and products made with white flour. These things will all help your immune system to be strong. Good luck.

Answer 3

Sure I agree. NOT!

Many medicines today are the extracted, purified components of substances in plants that do affect the disease process, or manufactured substances based on the original.

They do not tend to include the most harmful parts of the plants as do teas and unstudied natural products, unless it is the harmful, poisonous parts that will produce the good sought.

Others are chemicals, compounds and substances studied for years by people who understand on an in-depth level, after years of education, both biological and chemical processes. Natural remedies are often studied by Aunt Tillie, and the data include things like, "Well, it sure helped Bobby when he swoll up so bad!" (The fact that Bobby died two years later at the age of 12 is usually not mentioned in the testimonials!)

Drug companies ARE about making profits, because if they loose money, their biologists and chemists would have to go plant fields, and there's not a lot of time for research when your energy is devoted to simply feeding the kids. Does your Kevin Trudeau GIVE his book away?

If cancer patients do better on natural products than on drugs, why do you suppose that the cure rate continues to increase, even in my lifetime, and in my family? Why do you suppose the life expectancy has increased dramatically since, oh, say, 1600?

If natural remedies were the best remedies, generations of children would not have suffered the effects of polio, measles, heart disease . . .you get my point. The natural remedies grew all around them in the woods or lived in the streams. Do you think their parents didn't TRY these things?

Child mortality in places that have access to modern medicine has decreased immensely. Even when malnutrition is not an issue, in places without such access, it remains close to levels seen centuries ago. A good case for modern medicine, in my opinion.

Finally, if you distrust the motives of thousands and thousands of researchers, doctors, teachers, chemists--the list goes on and on--why do you trust a handful of people who say that THEY can be trusted? Why, if mankind is evil enough to wish death on millions of children for the sake of a new boat or a fancy house, would you trust anyone who ever sold anything?

I know I will convince you of nothing. I don't care. You go ahead and take your berry tea, and give it to your children. If any of them develop cardiomyopathy, go right ahead and feed them foxglove and willow bark. But if you get the dosage wrong, I won't be at the funeral. I'm just so tired of this argument that I finally had to speak up.

I will probably not waste my time or yours doing it again.

Answer 4

I've actually read both of Trudeau's out of sheer curiosity and I would have to say that his arguments are quite compelling. Everyone knows that there are natural cures and supplements that will cure and treat a myriad of diseases, this is no secret. What Trudeau has done is simply this, he has compiled them all into one book, however there are still some questions regarding the his methodologies. Natural cures are no secret, does the government advertise them? No. At the same time, its always important to be in contact with an M.D.

Answer 5

Some nutritional methods have helped people all the time, Natural things are always good for us , I know from a personal experience , My friend had cancer and because of the chi-mo therapy her body became so weak that her immune system was down and the white cells count was so low , my brother got her Camel ( he read in a book that it is good after chi-mo therapy) milk and she drank it for three days and when she had her CBC the doctors where so amazed that they did the test three times.
Of course natural remedies are good but you can't just depend on them.

Answer 6

Kevin is exploiting a niche, that being one of marketing the concept of self-care to people who have gone astray and lost their natural wisdom that would guide them to lifestyle corrections and curatives without his assistance.
Most of what he says (tip of the iceberg) is accurate and what is left unsaid is far greater. At least he is inspiring some to research.
That being said, if he was truly committed to his proposed path, he would put his money & time where his mouth is, funding hospitals, schools, and clinics that combined allopathy and Chinese medicine.
But he's not doing that, is he...

Answer 7

Sort of hard to believe someone who has been arrested for fraud numerous times and still has court cases pending. No- what he preaches is not the truth, and he is stealing your money.

Answer 8
