I read some of his book Natural Cures they Don't Want you to Know About. He says you can live to 150 with no health issues if you avoid all toxins, take care of yourself, etc.

I'm wondering if he learned from guys like Klinghardt or did they learn from him? Trudeau seems to have been around the world many times over absorbing health secrets.

Ironically, most of the LLMD's advice is in that book! Though he says you should NEVER EVER use prescription meds due to toxicity.

The best part is he says he's not doing this for the money like every other doctor, corporation, medical professional is. He does it for the love of people and human compassion!!

PHA could contact him for thoughts about Lyme treatment......wonder what they'd be?

He's been involved in a number of infomercials, not just about health.

He has gotten into trouble.

Not sure I believe the claims that he's not in it for the money. He sure has made a bundle.

He has absolutely no credentials or education in science,much less medicine. He is strictly a charlatan...total garbage...if anything is true he stole the idea from reputable sources. His book is dangerous and full of pseudo-science.

PLEASE CHECK THE BACKGROUNDS OF ANYONE PRETENDING TO HAVE CURES!!!!

Peace, Love and Wellness,

Some of his health advice is just common sense that my Grandmother knew. Other "advice" should be approached with caution.

As for never, ever taking prescription meds due to toxicity - it's just not that simple. Most of us would not still be alive were it not for some Rx during a critical time.

The key is to become educated and weigh the risks/benefits, explore sound complementary approaches and cover the bases with protective measures when possible. AND - to be well read.

Again, there are many excellent authors with a strong background, a good mind and whose intentions are not just to spawn a bunch of get-rich schemes.

--

There are many, many good authors with solid educations and credentials (some MDs, some NDs, some Ph.D.s, some Journalists - Trudeau is none of those) who have written and lectured about similar topics for a long time. I'd like to see some of those people get the credit they deserve for their work, which is often far more intricate than a flashy mass market book.


And, you can always go back to Rachel Carlson's "Silent Spring" for some good advice.

He's a scam artist. Plain & simple. And a successful 1 at that.
He advertises whatever is the most promising at the time. Used to be hot on pushing that health [secrets] book.

Lately, he's been on late night TV (w/ buxom-y ex-Playboy models & other women... {Just women... hmmm...}) ranting about how you can get up to $10,000 to erase CC debt, etc. Yeah, RIGHT... and I have a clear blue pill that can eradicate all BB from the body!

Still, some of the items in the Health secrets book are both effective & legit. (I guess you often get some asprin with the snake oil. [Wink] )

Kevin Tudeau is a vile human being, and was even in Jail for his scams.

Here here! Well said.

As for the items that might be correct in his book (I don't know, I've never read it), I refer to the old saying:

"Even a broken watch will still be right twice a day."
