Natural Cures...?

Question

Is there any truth to Kevin Trudeau's book "Natural Cures Revealed" and alternative medicine in general, or is he just as guilty as the medical industry that he aims to discredit?

Answer 1

I can't tell you how many people I personally know (including me) that his book and alternative medicine has helped. Some of the diseases/conditions I have PERSONALLY seen cured include: Osteoperosis, Obesity, Athlete's Foot, Hyper-active Thyroid, Insomnia, Depression, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I beleive in it wholeheartedly. If you are interested, read his first book, "Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You to Know About". I don't think of it as gospel, but he is bringing onboard an incredible number of people that really need help. Have you noticed the severe increase of chronic disease in this country? (USA) His ideas aren't revolutionary at all, he is just bringing to light what has been known for centuries by cultures older and more health-wise than the respectively young USA.

Sarcoma is a very rare cancer. It is even rarer for it to occur in the lungs. Is it a primary tumor in her lung? Is there more than 1? What stage is it? How big? Is there vasculature? Is it going to be surgically removed? There are so many factors to consider here that only her immediate health care providers would be qualified to assess. First of all, there is no cure for cancer, natural or otherwise. There are treatments, some of which work for some, some of which work for others. My recommendation to you is for your mother to get as much information as possible. She needs to have a good talk with her oncologist, and maybe get a second or third opinion from other oncologists, if she is so inclined. If she is determined to only take natural agents, she might want to see a Naturopath that specializes in oncology. Ideally, there should be open communication between your oncologist and naturopath. My naturopathic oncologist is very clear with her patients about the odds and lets people know when chemo or radiation is the best option, and she often recommends treatments as complementary to conventional treatment. She often discusses her patients with their oncologist and together come up with the best protocol to present to the patient. Be wary of anyone that promises a 'cure' from any healing modality. There are no guarantees, from any sort of treatment, natural or otherwise. Just odds and probabilities and some degree of gambling and luck. Let's say she is pressured into having chemo, though in her gut she was set against it. So, she goes through it, suffers and dies feeling angry and resentful over being pressured into doing something she didn't really want to do. Not good. Let's say on the other hand she uses only natural therapies and dies thinking she made a mistake and should have had the chemo. Not good either. There are so many different scenarios one could play out. I know because I have gone through them all in my mind over and over again. Whatever decision she makes, she needs to be at peace with it, having looked at all the options and gathered all the relevant information from her health care providers. I don't mean to sound negative in all this, but while it is essential to be hopeful and optimistic (since millions of people do survive cancer) one also needs to explore the other possibility. That is all I can recommend at this time. Good luck and good health to you and your mom!

I'm sure some of his book has some truth, but he seems like he's more hype than help. If you're looking for natural remedies, get Jean Carper's book "Food - Your Miracle Medicine." She's done a lot of research and the information is valid.

Answer 4

Some of what he writes about is good but if you go on the natural cure website it is not as easy as you think to get healthy.

Answer 5

i like what he has to say but the only thing i dont like is that he is trying to make money like everyone else cuz i bought his book then it said for the cure got to my web site then you had to buy a subsciption to the website which was outragous but then he has another book and i love all the things he says and he ios right but all that stuff is so unconventional and costs alot of money which is exactly what "THEY" want! ( but he is right on)
