Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You to Know About
by Kevin Trudeau
|
|
|
|
This book just might save your life. If nothing else, it will at least expand your awareness and help you live a longer life without medication. You’ve probably seen the author on TV with his Mega Memory program and also selling Coral Calcium. He would probably be the first one to tell you not to buy things advertised on TV and especially not to trust anything the advertisers tell you. What I didn’t know is that he is a health nut and natural foods advocate. His years of experience studying and using natural foods as well as his direct experience with the wrath of the FDA and FTC make him probably the most qualified person in America to write this book.
In the book, he announces the fact that these government organizations threatened to burn his books if he actually put natural cures in print. This fact shows that you the Gestapo-like power of our government and how our First Amendment rights have been swept away. Dancing around their guidelines, he does manage to present a clear overview of how big business is in bed with politicians and how it affects our lives and the future of America.
The book is well laid out, and even though the author is not allowed to elaborate on specific remedies, the volume of information presents a history of food companies, natural foods, and the rise of the pharmaceutical empire. If you back up and take a look at the big picture, you see Kevin Trudeau pointing a finger at the FTC and FDA establishing them as puppets of corporate enterprise while these government agencies are trying to sue him as a charlatan. Who should we believe?
I think Trudeau does a good job of documenting his case, and he has far more than a lay knowledge of natural foods, herbs and remedies. The books he recommends contain information by many credentialed experts who support his claims. As a reader of HopeDance, you are more aware of the corruption in our government than most Americans and can use the information in this book to avoid being sucked into the myth that the American diet is anywhere close to healthful.
The World Health Organization ranks us 26th out of all the nations in the world. Yes, you read it right: #26, which is below many so-called “Third World” countries. The truth is, they don’t have as much illness as we do. But wait a minute; what about all our doctors and hospitals — we have so many — we must be the healthiest. If we were healthy, would we need all those doctors and hospitals? America uses half of all the drugs in the world. We’re sick and getting sicker. Three-fourths of us are overweight, and obesity, which used to be rare, is common, even in our children. The average American takes several medications a day and never questions the system.
If you trust this system and want to be one of the thousands killed or made sicker by drugs like Phen-Fen, Vioxx, or Centrex, that’s your choice. If you want to know more about how we are being transformed into fat, sick, and soon-to-be bankrupt victims of runaway corporate greed, then I think this book is the best 20 bucks you’ll ever spend.
Reviewer John McCauley, Ph.D. is a Santa Barbara anti-aging specialist who focuses on teaching people and companies how to avoid colds, flu, and other discomforts while maintaining our natural state of health and joy. His Website is: thehealthofficer.com.
