Has anyone read the book about natural cures for illnesses by Kevin Trudeau and if so do they believe it?

My sister is an herbalist & she said that it was bunk. I work in the book industry & some customers were dissatified with it as well. There are other books on natural health that are much better.

Lol..I'm doing Famous Canadians for a history fair\n\nThese are from my notes:\n\n\n\nquote: "I'm not a dreamer, and I'm not saying this will initiate any kind of defenitive answer or cure to cancer, but i believe in miracles.

your question isn't very clear, anyways, my answer yes! No doubts even in medicine what the patient believes is half ways to the cure.\nWhat you believe, what you think, your mood, your attitude is very important for your behaviour and for your health...\n\nAbout me i am deelply trying to have more positive autosugestion and don't worry too much as i did before...and acept more what God will give me...Best wishes from Europe!\n\nGook luck

Do a little reading on this guy, then decide for yourself.

Herbal therapy. Period. \n\nI could talk for days and days about this subject, but due to the fact that I have limited time at the moment and no one really wants to read a year's worth of typing (lol) I'll keep it short.\n\nFirst of all, drugs and surgery cause illness. The FDA, USDA, FTC, etc. all profit from the profits of the pharmaceutical companies. Because natural cures cannot be patented, meaning no profits, drug companies want to scare people from turning to them.\n\nNot only do natural remedies have no side effects, they are 100% natural and healthy. All drugs are chemicals and unnatural, yet millions--billions really--of people believe that these are better to put into your body rather than something that the earth naturally provides. \n\nLook at animals. Do they ever get heart burn? How about diabetes? Cancer? Nope, nope, nope. Now, of course, we are talking about wild animals. Pets that you give drugs and crappy, chemically altered food to are just as unhealthy as the humans who choose deadly chemicals over the natural cures.

I, myself, find that it's interesting they're allowed to call it a "cure" for cancer.  According to the article below, in major studies, Herceptin only had a 0.6% reduction rate for breast cancer deaths.  Yet if someone tries to claim that a naturally-occurring herb is a "cure for cancer," they get fined by the pharmaceutical companies and run out of the country.\n\nThis sums up my feelings on the situation pretty well...\n\n"Herceptin proponents claim clinical trials show a 46 percent decrease in recurring breast cancer when the drug is prescribed to late-stage breast cancer patients. That number, of course, is pure marketing propaganda and statistical spin. Consider the facts: One of the main studies being cited in support of Herceptin saw 34 deaths in the control group (2.0% of the participants) and 23 deaths (1.4%) in the group treated with Herceptin. This translates in a 0.6% absolute reduction in deaths. Hardly a miracle, huh? \n\nBut that doesn't stop drug proponents from hailing Herceptin as a bonafide miracle. As Ralph W. Moss explained in a recent critical commentary published in New Scientist magazine (March 4, 2006), one of the main cheerleaders for Herceptin is none other than Hortobagyi, a paid consultant of Genentech, who received somewhere between $10,000 and $100,000 from the drug company. He's one of the proponents who calls Herceptin a "cure." He probably even does it with a straight face. \n\nIs a 0.6% reduction in deaths really such a big deal? The fact is that getting some regular sunshine and engaging in regular physical exercise has a far greater success rate of reducing the risk of recurring breast cancer. In other words, something you can do absolutely free of charge is better than the most advanced, most miraculous breakthrough the pharmaceutical industry has come up with in 30 years."\n\nFrom newstarget.com - read more here: http://www.newstarget.com/019313.html

NO CONTEST - I'll take a homeopathic remedy over convential medicine ANY day as long as it works - but I will use conventional medicine if I have no other choice - too many doctors today fill our bodies with so much GARBAGE that it makes us sicker than we were when we first saw them!!\n\nFOR EXAMPLE - they now are looking at the results of infant immunization shots containing THIMERESOL (which contains Mercury!!) and how these shots are causing all sorts of neurological disorders including autism, mental retardation, global learning delays, and many others!

The key to understanding natural cures is simple.  While most therapies like acupuncture, herbs, chiropractic, diet, detox, etc have been shown to help virtually any condition, not everyone with a particular condition will respond well to the type of therapy.  The key is to find a physician - usually a N.D. Naturopathic Doctor, D.C. Doctor of Chiropractic, or a Master of Oriental Medicine.  These doctors are trained to evaluate which type of alternative therapy would have the best results for your particular conditions.  \n\nFor more traditional healthcare - find a doctor of Functional Medicine.

Was a very informative book. Glad he wrote it.\n\nEven copied down a portable list of the things he suggests to live a cleaner healthier lifestyle.\n\nStill it can be hard to impliment all his strategies. Some cost money. Plus healthy for you food is sizably more expensive than the stuff that's bad for you.\nI think if I was able to impliment more of his ideas I would achieve the results he mentions, but haven't to date.\nHope other folks respond, as I'm curious too.

It works and I don't believe it just has to do with whether someone believes in it or not.  I've seen people who don't believe given remedies and they respond to them.  \n\nHowever, it really depends on the skill and experience of the practitioner.  They have to make the right diagnosis and  prescribe the right remedy in order for it to be effective.

I'm with ya. It's RARE, but ever once in a while there is a "faith healing" of a real illness. Credit should go to the body's almost miraculous ability to heal itself, not God's intervention. Ironic don't you think, that for every "success" of faith healing, there are thousands of failures. These are usually blamed on the sufferer's lack of faith.......

BullDogg has a good point the ACS is run by drug companies and politicians. They only research useless and costly treatments. To see for yourself read the e-book I have linked to below, chapter 7 is very informative. Nut the whole thing is a must read. You will never want to donate to those organizations again. My dad died of cancer and if this information was used and widely available he would still be alive.

Check Amazon.com.  Or if not there ebay.  If not there try just typing it in to Google.  I have never personally heard of the book so I'm not sure what the results will be.  Good Luck.

I have had it since 1999 no cures only methods of relief, meds and diet change, i prefer diet no meds. Im unable to enjoy what most people eat, but u get use to a limited diet. only ill about 20-30 days out of a year now. There are untraditional methods of cures, they have been offered to me but have not tried them

i'm not sure about studies proven but mt husband and son have both had it for various problems and it has cured them, really. it is not covered by medicare or blue cross here in canada so i guess that would mean no clinical studies have been proven, right. it was an oriental doctor that did them, one was male an one was female.
