*I posted this on my personal blog some time ago, but I read some recent articles that prompted me to revist it. Sorry for the duplication if you’ve read this before, but Kevin’s such a snake I couldn’t resist any potential new audience. [BTW, what is a bodaggit?](http://swedler.uhduh.com/main/entry/?entry_id=177 “Definition of a bodaggit”)*
There’s a new book I recently heard of called ***Natural cures they don’t want you to know about*** by Kevin Trudeau, and I had the recent misfortune of seeing him tout his scam on an infomercial after the Kentucky Derby. His claims in the infomercial are completely unsubstantiated and he provides absolutely no statistical evidence or research to support his outrageous statements.
He claims that there are homeopathic cures for everything from acid reflux to cancer. ***That’s right… CANCER!*** Now I am not defending Pharmaceutical companies or condemning the possibilty of natural cures, but this book is simply a crock of shit. The book is a $30 advertisement for his website which has a $10/month subscription fee. His actions and association with this crap makes him worse than the people he is bashing in his book.
Check out the FTC’s view of Kevin [here](http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2004/09/trudeaucoral.htm “Kevin’s Ban”). Now I understand that this is his point in the book and his infomercial, but his scams are worse than any drug. Check out the [reviews](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/097559950X/qid=1115507702/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-5527795-0133440 “His crappy book reviews”) on Amazon if you need more perspectives.
If you’re gullible enough and you can afford to get to the info he’s offering, I can’t speak to the efficacy of the homeopathic cures he speaks of. But he’s doing any potential benefits of them a disservice by even putting his name in the same arena. Simply disgusting!
