LiveScience's Christopher Wanjek has written a scathing review of millionaire ex-con Kevin Trudeau's latest collection of "alternative" medical advice, More Natural Cures Revealed: quote:
Revealing the Truth about Natural Cures

Kevin Trudeau wants to save your life, and the Nazis at the FDA and FTC will stop at nothing to bring him down. They have made it clear to him that their intent is to imprison him, confiscate his latest book, and burn it.
So begins Trudeau's self-published "More Natural Cures Revealed," a fascinating cross between a health book, fictitious novel, and a paranoid, hate-filled rant along the lines of "Mein Kampf."
Normally I wouldn't highlight such lunacy for risk of advertising it. And at first glance, one would think that this book could only attract a fringe audience, like those websites advocating to drink your own urine. But "More Natural Cures" is a follow-up to the self-published "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You To Know About," which sold several million copies and reached the New York Times best-seller list.

Fab review.
quote:
The most disturbing aspect of Trudeau's book is the disclaimer, in which he states tongue-in-cheek to appease the FTC that his book "is for entertainment purposes only," that "truth is sprinkled in to spice things up," and that "the stuff in this book really doesn't work."
Good to know that the FTC is doing its job. |

| Of course, Trudeau's "disclaimer" for the FTC is a joke, since he knows - probably better than any other author - that the FTC can't do anything to stop book sales due to that pesky First Amendment. He's still bitter that the FTC made him stop selling "health care" products. |
