About the author

Show More
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.

Half of it is just a plug 'read my first book' along with a very polarizing mentality of 'dont go to doctors'.

I read Kevins first book and although some of the information is repeated in this sequel it has a lot of important information that everyone should know to stay healthy. What I love about his books is it is crammed with so much that you can't find in one place.
What I learned from this book that stuck out in my mind the most? That Rumsfield (yes Rumsfield) pushed the FDA to approve Splenda as safe even though there was evidence that it is not. Seems that Rumsfield has money in the company that created the chemical that is supposed the be "all natural"

In prison for fraud. Go figure. Total scam artist who could have done good in the world but instead ripped people off with sub-par filth. Pretty expensive book for the fire.

Not as good as the first book. Some passages are boring and repetetive. However some chapters and ideas were worth it. This is not a book about health only, it's also about the health system and government corruption. I think more people need to be exposed to such information because many don't have a clue!

This book in my opinion is a useless ..It is very poorly written ....It is a very long boring book that does not reveal anything secret..The book is of questionable value and all the info in it can be obtained free from a medical website on the world wide web or your local library...

A friend said that I should read this book and gave it to me. I read it and I marked it all up both good and bad, however somebody wanted the book and I gave it to them, and never got it back. So I can't give it an honest rating at this time because all my notes are gone. This is a brand new copy that somebody else gave me!

You know, whether or not you totally trust this guy (and I'm not sure that I do), he makes some VERY valid points. We do over-consume synthetic chemicals and our bodies do not know how to deal with chemicals and that makes us sick. To me it sounds logical. His personal life aside, I think the principle of what he's saying rings true.
