Kevin Trudeau is an American author, salesman, and television personality known for promotion of his books and resulting legal cases involving the US Federal Trade Commission. His ubiquitous late-night infomercials, which promoted unsubstantiated health, diet, and financial advice, earned him a fortune but resulted in civil and criminal penalties for fraud, larceny, and contempt of court.
In the early 1990s, Trudeau was convicted of larceny and credit card fraud. In 2007, he was accused of grossly misrepresenting the contents of his book, The Weight-Loss Cure "They" Don't Want You to Know About. In a 2004 settlement, he agreed to pay a $500,000 fine and cease marketing all products except his books, which are protected under the First Amendment. In 2011, he was fined $37.6 million for violating the 2004 settlement, and ordered to post a $2 million bond before engaging in any future infomercial advertising.
In 2013, facing consequences for non-payment of the $37 million judgment, Trudeau filed for bankruptcy protection. His claims of insolvency were challenged by FTC lawyers, who maintained that he was hiding money in shell companies, and cited examples of continued lavish spending, such as $359 for a haircut. In November 2013, Trudeau was convicted of criminal contempt, and was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison in March 2014. The Chicago Tribune reported in April 2014 that infomercials starring Trudeau and promoting his books continued to air regularly on United States television stations even though he was in jail at the time. Trudeau left federal custody in 2022 after 8 years, after which the FTC continued to pursue the unpaid $37 million fine.

Absolute Garbage - a waste of a tree to make the book. Dude is a dud. Total scam. listed a whole bunch of obvious things like breathe fresh air and eat natural foods as the things to do and then went on rants against big business, big agriculture, big pharmacuticals.

I personally am NOT pro any of these but i can state concrete reasons for my beliefs, he just rants.. (& by the way he IS a convicted felon, has had MANY suits brought against him for fraud & lost them) yet he maintains HE is persecuted for his "knowlege" hah! the only thing he seems to KNOW is how to scam (& he does it well) I am profoundly glad i only paid 2bucks for the book and even then i feel ripped off.

Oh, and by the way, he is also pushing things like Scientology. i do NOT appreciate that. if i wanted info on that subject i would read something that honestly said they pushed it.

all in all its an AWEFUL book. pure garbage. best way to use it is as mulch for your garden if you arent worried it will pollute it!@

If you want to read an in-depth review of this book, check out my blog. I say A WHOLE lot more on why this book is horrible. Here is a link to the blog post: https://datum248084203.wordpress.com/...

Anyway, here is a short review. This book is awful. Kevin doesn't give you cures though he promises to give you them. Rather, he wants you to go on his website and pay for information that can be found elsewhere for free. He is also a convicted fraud and has been arrested multiple times. The writing of this book isn't good either. To me, it was really grating to the point it got on my nerves.

He also has tons of misinformation in his book like how mangosteen, noni, and wolfberry cure diseases with no cure or offensive things like how AIDS isn't real. This book was just pure propaganda.

So far the worst self-help book I ever read and one of the worst books in the #mothernaturewantshertreesback blog posts.

Some of the things in here are hard to believe. Milk & chlorinated water causing your arteries to scar? Hmmm... Very angry & obsessive write, like he's trying to brainwash you. 4-5 books he recommends I have read! Your Body's Many Cries for Water & The Food Revolution, & Healing books, etc. make me pay attention. I am probably going to read more of his books, just to see what he says & invest in a mini trampoline! :)
