Once I heard him claim that coral calcium "cured" cancer, and this was YEARS ago, I knew the guy was nothing but a fraud.
His strategy is VERY simple. Give some really "good advice" that is self-elvident, then make some unbelievable claims that have not been verified by ANY good research, all the while pretending to be on the side of the little man, while he laughs his way to the bank!

I ask ANY Kevin Trudeau supporter, did his advice work for you? Explain in detail.

Kevin Trudeau would have made a great used car salesman. Unfortunately he chose health care to assist the gullible and uninformed. As you read Yahoo Answers you realize that there is a significant cadre of people who think the medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry exists just to bilk the public. Trudeau fosters this with his "what the medical profession doesn't want you to know" routine. He's a real artist.

It's no secret that there are a lot of gullible people out there.
Franky, a large proportion of Americans are not only largely ignorant about science, but lack the most basic critical thinking skills; were never taught the right kind of skepticism. In a society which is dominated by science and technology, I find the "Scientific Illiteracy" of Americans to be a frightening trend.
The columnist George Dvorsky had this to say about the subject:
"We all need to know about science. Without this knowledge we are powerless, forced to live in a fog about how things work. Without it, we are utterly dependent on others to form our opinion. Without it, we cannot properly participate in society as informed, critical and responsibly opinioned citizens. Moreover, in today's hi-tech information age world, democracy cannot work without a scientifically literate society."

Consider this, last year, Chinese universities and colleges awarded more than 600,000 degrees in engineering. In India that figure was around 350,000. In the US, the number was less than 100,000. It's no wonder that the US has the worst "infrastructure" of the first world countries, no wonder that our high tech companies are gradually moving overseas......
OK, I'm done ranting for now,

Very Good Question!
The answer is simple: he's really a marketing guru, and has chosen a wide open, unregulated market to 'pick' on. Unfortunately, he knows how to play the game, and the general public doesn't.
His books are only there to sell his web site, and they are all chicken skin with no meat.
I'm a natural health practitioner, so I know what I'm talking about! His books/site get an AVOID+++ rating from me.

I bought his natural cures book- theres money I will never get back- no one will buy on ebay from me! GRRR!!!!! I signed up for his newsletter that was 10 bucks a month too- that didnt last long. You were supposed to be able to get information right from him, all he would do is send me to websites with no real explanations. Learn from my money mistakes- HES A FAKE AND DONT BOTHER WITH ANYTHING HE SELLS OR SAYS!!!!!!! I learned the hard way. I think in that book he said vinegar or something like that could cure cancer too- talk about giving people false hope. He is a real jackass
