Has anyone had success lowering cholesterol by using Trudeau’s recommendations? Starting drug treatment is a long term commitment and I have to wonder if it isn’t worthwhile to try his approach…first. Anyone tried it?

I have attempted for many years to follow ‘prevention’ health choices and was often ‘made-fun-of’ by doctor friends. I am recently adding ‘intentional’ eating as I call it. This simply means that choices in what I do or don’t do about eating and activity will increase or decrease probabilities/possibilities [I'm not God] regarding health. Experience with something will always work differently as we are so uniquely put together [genes,age,baggage,culture,etc.]
Being an average ‘joe’…I definitely celebrate good ideas that increase options and choices for best or better health. But, to eliminate or exclude good judgement…to turn ‘biasly’ to someone or something PERIOD, giving up the right to examine and take the good…mmm. I was open to this gentleman until he said in the infommercial “I alone” and “only I”.
Yes…many things in his books are good and true…but…no one is “only and alone” right here on earth. Do continue to encourage the public to analyze, examine and evaluate…There is, last time I checked history, not one human that was always, only right…Jesus said He was. many didn’t beleive Him.

Mr. Aidabole, please note that water generally doesn’t contain chlorine. I’ve heard that Los Angeles started treating their water with chlorine a few years ago, but most municipalities do not do this.

You might want to start reading Mr. Eades’ blog, he strays a little further from the mainstream than you think (and he maintains his sanity while doing it! – which is the important part).

Oh, and I find it hard to beleive that OTC medications contain mercury. I’m going to [citation needed] that one.

I did expect you to avoid the main idea.
Personally I trust Integrative Medical Doctors.
I’m not a follower of any person and know that Mr. Trudeau is exaggerating and might be using the subject as a hook.
I do not see you outraged with lies from drug companies and government agencies that definitely responsible for killing many.

I already made a difference by convincing a doctor friend of mine to see that their are options that might help with his son’s Autism. Thanks to Mr. Trudeau.

Please open your mind so you may avoid being a drug pusher.

I wish you the best, it is not personal.
Happy New Year.

You’re obviously not a regular reader of this blog.

Happy New Year to you.

I read Mr. Trudeau book and did a few of the things he recommends. I want to share with you what I�m practicing.
-a shower filter to get rid of chlorine and other harmful substances in the water
- filter tap water for drinking, teas, and cooking
-no white sugar
-no white flower
-no artificial sweeteners (no diet anything).
-Get free range all natural beef if you can not find a kosher organic.
-Avoid pork. God said so and you can not deny it is poison.
-Organic dairy products.
-Sea food: no farm raised fish, no shell fish.
-No MSG, corn syrup, or nitrate.
-Juicing at least once a day
-All natural frozen Berries blend smoothie at least once a day.
-Chelation shots or pills to try to get rid of the mercury we consumed in the food and all drugs (prescription and over the counter)

It helped greatly and I will not be seeing quakes the like of you any time soon.

No doctor ever recommended this to me, why?

I suggest that you always avoid ‘quakes’ like me. And, BTW, next time you split your head open and need stitches, be sure to call Kevin Trudeau.

I’m currently in the middle of listening to the NCTDWYTKA audiobook (I didn’t pay for it, it was given as a gift). I’m of mixed opinion regarding KT’s comments, in part because he comes across like a used car salesman and because he spends every 5 minutes repeating the same thing over and over as if I’m an idiot. Those are my perceptions however, as those in your article are rightfully yours.

That said, I have the following observations to make regarding your article AND his book. We’re all smart enough to review any generalizations the author makes to determine precise accuracies. Few of us are unintelligent enough to take everything anyone says at face value. While I don’t recommend reading the book in question and changing your life solely based on the information in the book, I DO recommend reading the book for an alternative opinion regarding our dealings with the FDA, FTA and our current lifestyle; generally some of the concepts in his book are interesting even merely as a opinion and worthy of deep consideration. For example, his advice and recommendation (though to hear him speak, he’s nearly demanding the change) to eat SOLELY AND ONLY organic foods is not rationally given, only due to the fact that few people I know can afford, at their pay scale, to eat only organic foods. Yet I can’t argue that organic foods are much better for you than the ton of preservatives that we take into our bodies from processed foods. Interestingly, some of the things he comments on (ok, vastly makes accusations regarding) about the FTC, FDA, etc are things I myself have debated with others about for years, long before his book came out.

I’ll be the first (ok, since you mentioned it first, I’ll be second… lol) to say not to take anything in the book at face falue and with a grain of salt, I think it’s worth a read (find it on sale somewhere) if for nothing else to force one to have second thoughts… too many people fail to have a first one and thinking for ourselves is what makes our species great. Thanks for listening! lol

Hi Michael–

As far as I’m concerned, the real value of this book is his description of what kinds of vast powers these governmental agencies have. He has tangled with them, as have I, and I can tell you that he’s right on the mark. If the other information were that valid, the book would be worth its weight in gold.

You wrote: “he is gradually fading from the scene”. I am sorry to say that the mentioned con is on TV in many countries away from the hands of US justice. I watched here in Brazil and read some articles written in Portugal as well.
Both who are for and against have given some money to this “money addicted”.
I understand that Mr. Trudeau is a real indication that something is wrong with the american society’s health: mental health.
Anyway… someone once said that “nobody has never lost money by underestimating american people’s intelligence”.
By the way: “eat vegetables, fruits and avoid too much sun”. I back these advices for free.
Regards

I think he really is fading from the scene now since his most recent run in with the FTC.

Kudos. I have a graduate degree in business not medicine. From a business point of view I can appreciate Mr. Trudeau’s nod to capitalism. My sister gave me the book in an attempt to enlighten me. Reading the book and taking everything at face value was difficult. After I read the faux pas on African Americans and skin cancer I closed the book and began wondering if there were any medical professionals interested in challenging what seemed to be gross generalizations. He seemingly inflates simple truths, mixes them with facts and then positions himself as an advocate for the people. The book does contain some valid points but overall it seems quite dangerous if most people are not willing to wade through the facts vs the fiction. Thanks for renewing my faith!

My pleasure.�

Wasn’t PABA shown to cause cancer? It used to be in “all” sunscreens, espcially the ones made for kids. I think that’s maybe what he might have been referring to.

It was never shown to cause cancer.� There was some speculation that a chemical with a similar structure to PABA might be a carcinogen.�

I am really interested in this sunblock thing. I am fair-skinned, and I have had sunburn a number of times, and I want the truth about it. I notice when I get sun (not necessarily sunburn), my skin clears up, and I’ve heard the sun is good for you. One of the things that was suggested for avoiding the disease from which Christopher Reeves’ wife died was getting adequate sunlight.
Also, why are some people darker than others? I know from melanin, but I am interested in the history of skin tones…and if all of us fair-skinned people lived in Africa w/o the option of sun screen, would our bodies eventually adapt, or would we die?
Hope all these thoughts make sense.

Hi Leigh–

It is beyond the scope of the comments section to discuss the pros and cons of sunlight, but having said that, in my opinion the good far outweighs the bad.� You’ve got to get graduated exposure, not sunburned, to get the maximal benefit.

If fair-skinned people moved to Africa, they would burn in the sun if they got too much exposure just as they would anywhere else.� If these people reproduced and their children reproduced for many, many generations, there may evolve a change in skin tone, but it would take millennia.�

Cheers–
