Natural Cures Weight Loss Tips
Question:
Well, you don’t have to order the newsletters or web site access. Putting that aside, I was just asking if anyone went by his Weight Loss Tips CD (which is included free with the book purchase). He gives over 20 tips of which a few I have researched from other sources and seem to be consistent. Some tips are very basic like drinking more filtered water, doing an hour of walking per day, etc. I was just wondering if these tips have worked for anyone. I’m almost half way through the book and there is a lot that makes sense. I.e. Why are we being overwhelmed with pharmaceutical commercials/advertisments? Do we really need a pill for everything? Lots of money at stake.
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hello, I’m currently reading the Natural Cures book by Kevin Trudeau. It’s very interesting and he also included a book on CD for weight loss. He gives over 20 tips to losing weight. Although I only would like to lose a few pounds to trim up, I was wondering if anyone else had an experience with it. I’d like to give that info to others. Thanks, Mike Most people I know that have said they read the book say it’s a scam. He doesn’t actually give you the cures but tells you to go to his site, where you must pay out the nose, to get the cures. I don’t want to do business with a felon like him. Check out this article, it says exactly what you say: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9006287/ “Bates, and other consumers, now say they were had. There are hundreds of angry posts on Amazon.com’s page devoted to "Natural Cures." And about a dozen New York consumers have now contacted the New York State Consumer Protection Board. "The book is just gobbledygook. There’s nothing in it. He doesn’t say what the cures are," Bates said. Instead, Bates said, on page after page the book urges readers to head to Trudeau’s Web site, NaturalCures.com. Consumers must pay $10 a month to use the site. And for those calling the toll free number to purchase the book, operators work hard to tack on a Web site subscription. ” Like you, I do not want to do business with liars. — 223/174.7/180

All links in your 2nd link I got "page not found". Are you able to view these cases? I can’t. Maybe he was involved in some questionable activities in the past but his book seems to make sense.

But eating healthy is very difficult to figure out.
It is not that hard to figure out. Drink plenty of water and eat unprocessed foods.
Response:
I meant that from the stand point of the supermarket. In my store there is a limited supply of organic vegetables and fruits, the meats most likely are pumped up with hormones (there are no organic meats stated) and just about everything else is in a box, can or bag. How can you eat healthy? No easy and that’s what I meant by difficult.

If you can afford it purchase your fruits and veggies from the limited supply of organics. Decrease your consumption of meats and eat more fish. I’ve totally stopped eating beef and pork and eat only fish, poultry, seafood and on occasion, lamb and bison (as my substitute for red meat). A fillet of fish is the perfect portion size for a meal. I’m going to try venison and emu soon. The lamb and bison I get are grassfed and not pumped full of hormones. The store I will be getting my venison and emu from is a health food store and they assure me the meat is hormone free and grassfed. It is a little costly, yes but I am not going in and buying massive quantities of the meat. I’m getting just enough of a portion of each to try it out to see how I will like it. Quit eating things from boxes and bags (except sugarfree frozen fruits and veggies) as those are processed and no good for you anyway. Try to find a Farmer’s market or a local grower and purchase some things from either or both. Find a good health food store. They have sales on healthy foods from time to time. Start your own garden in the warmer months if you can. I do a little container gardening in my backyard because I rent and the landlord will not let me take up a portion of the lawn in my yard to plant a small garden. Also buy Omega 3 eggs if you can. They are only a few cents more then the other eggs in the store and better for you. I’d rather pay the extra cost to have the best ones anyway. It’s not that difficult to eat healthy or as healthy as you *can* afford to……after all, it is your body and you decide what to put into it or not put into it. At first I found eating this way difficult but once I wrapped my brain around it, I found it wasn’t difficult at all. I just had to find a way to remove the roadblocks and I did that.
Response:
I totally understand your feeling based on his history. It does seem sketchy at best. And I’m not here to defend him or his book but just telling you what I understand it as. According to Kevin the scammers are: the FDA, FTC, pharmaceutical companies, government, foundations, doctors (who don’t teach about nutrition, etc.). I try to check other sources and a lot adds up to what he says. He gives lots of examples. As far as his tips, I’d have to listen to the CD and write them down but a few I can think of are: cleansing using distilled water, 64oz filtered water per day after that, eat organic only, processed stuff stay away from, colon cleansing, remove ‘bad’ yeast (candida) from the intestinal tract, walk an hour/day (outside), no pork, 8 hours sleep, reduce stress, positive thoughts. I can’t remember all. There were over 20 tips. He may have had a ‘interesting’ past but I’m trying to take the stuff that seems to make sense. He brings out great points. If the USA is supposed to be so advanced in health/medical why are we the most obese nation. The food industry hooks us in with hormones, processed foods and gets us in a negative state and then the pharmaceutical companies are there with a pill to help (with lots of side affects). They got you (and your money). Eat healthy, exercise and avoid the docs! But eating healthy is very difficult to figure out. There are lots of misleadning info out there. I’ve started to look closer when I go to the supermarket. Unless you live on your own farm, you don’t know what you’re getting. Hope that helps…

As for walking, I walked for 100 minutes per day when I was losing weight. I’m almost half way through the book and there is a lot that makes sense. I.e. Why are we being overwhelmed with pharmaceutical commercials/advertisments? Do we really need a pill for everything? Lots of money at stake. Well, sure, but pointing out that obvious stuff does not impart him any credibility, as such. Surely, financial interests are powerful motivators and our interests and interests of pharmaceutical companies are not aligned. I cannot see, though, how I can trust a felon and a notorious scammer. i

Well, so far I’ve looked for a good health food store, organic fruit/vegie store, organic meats and can’t find them in my area. My supermarket does have a few items (fruit/vegie) that are organic but you can’t eat yams every day. Most of the stuff is not. I also get a strange feeling there. The organic yams are right next to the non-organic yams and cost about 30% more. Hmmmm…. I haven’t seen any bison, venison, etc. anywhere. Also, the seafood at the supermarket I bet is mostly, if not all, farm raised and not the best, not to mention quite expensive. We have started purchasing eggs from free roaming hens (expensive). The organic ones are even more $. My wife and I have 3 children so it can be very expensive very quick. Maybe where you are it isn’t that tough but where I am it seems damn difficult. We own our house and I enjoy gardening but that is still limited to a couple months. No room for a greenhouse.

I am now spoiled on organic food, and most of my food is now organic. I now consider whatever the cost of organic food is, to be "the cost of food". There is more to organic food than just lack of pesticides. It’s often grown in nutrient rich soil which nourishes the fruit/vegetable. The other stuff tends to be mere lookalikes, IMO. I have to wonder what is wrong with a head of lettuce that I buy (most certainly not picked that very morning) that still doesn’t rot after 3 weeks of storage 
I especially insist on my apples, cucumbers, celery and grapes being organic, as the commercial counterparts tend to be the most heavily sprayed. According to Gabriel Cousens, who wrote "Conscious Eating", there are a few commercial vegetables and fruits that can be eaten (like melons and avocadoes) because there are the least chemical residues. In a pinch, I will eat them, but when organic is there, I’ll get it. — Disclaimer: Everything authored by me is my own opinion and personal experience, unless otherwise indicated.

Are there any farmer’s markets in your area? This is usually a good source of fresh locally grown food. They can also be a good source of finding the Mom & Pop businesses in your area that deal in other items more suitable to a healthy eating plan. We have one in our area that sells everything from produce, fruit, eggs, cheeses, etc. It’s a wonderful place to spend a Saturday morning. Beverly

Which you can get from the infomercial without buying the book, check. Consider the cliche: "Never attribute to malice what can be adaquately explained by incompetence." In the case of pharmaceutical companies they produce antibiotics which DO cure bacterial infections. They produce vaccines which DO prevent viral infections. Their research model is to find the infectious agent and fight that agent. If all cancer is caused by assorted viruses, then they will eventually cure all cancers through vaccine prevention. If you can’t find a bacterium, virus or toxin that produces an illness, their research model is not ever going to produce a cure. What’s the best cure for type 2 diabetes? Never get insulin resistance in the first place by never overeating carbs in the first place. Simple, clear-cut, and completely impossible to reproduce with medications. Are these folks scammers because they search for medications rather than searching to remove environmental causes? Or are they just looking in the wrong place because the place they *are* looking has such an excellent track record?

I haven’t gone organic at all. I am eating alot more fruits and veggies than I used to, and I don’t think they are all "junk food" because they were grown non organically. I really think that focusing on eating a healthier variety of foods has been much more useful to me than worrying that the food might not be produced organically. A cup of bean soup made from non-organic beans is a much better dinner than the big mac and fries I used to eat. As far as the OP, I don’t think I would have anything to do with a known scammer who is pushing a pay site on the internet via a book. He has good tips? Good for him! But good tips on dieting are plentiful on the web. I have ten of them myself on my site at http://webpages.charter.net/lenny13/Diettips.html. All absolutely free, no credit card needed! There is no secret to dieting that you have to pay money to get. The information is out there, for free, for anyone to have, if you are willing to simply look for it. — Annie As of 9-30-05: 258/209/140 Standing at 5 foot 4. 49 pounds lost. 69 left to go.

Kevin Trudeau. About it being all about the money, at least. But very dishonest in the final analysis. My post was a lame attempt at humor by turning Trudeau’s charge back at him. Whatever it is he is peddling this time, to call them "cures" is nonsense. Treatments perhaps, but certainly not cures. And to suggest that "natural" is always better than "synthetic" is likewise nonsense. As for the diet tips, I stopped reading after I saw the "cleansing" crap. Matthew
Response:
Definitely eating non-organic fruits/veg are better than a burger and fries. But Kevin’s take on it is that the pesticides/hormones/additives make there way into our bodies and toxify them. Kevin’s CD is for weight loss and is included free with the book. There are tons of books on helath, diets and exercise as well as weight loss centers. Many people shell out lots of money for these so there is a market (a big market). There’s also tons of info on the web but I think to make sense of it all, people turn to books and others for advice. I know his past is questionable but does that mean the guy has nothing to offer? What’s Martha Stewart doing these days??? – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Sure, stuff from the organic section is even better still, but thinking brocolli is unhealthy because it comes from the other section, that’s a defeatist attitude.

Hey Iggy, I’ll have to check medline to see what they say about alkalinity but it’s hard to believe if I put garbage in that it doesn’t affect us and our PH. What about the far east? I think their staples are seafood and rice. Does anyone know about their disease rates compared to the USA? Has anyone been taking these seaweed veggie pills? They supposedly help with PH. Yep, I know that there are many conflicts of interest. Maybe I’ve had the cover over my eyes but I thought the FDA was 100% trying to protect all in the USA but now I have other thoughts. There is lots of money out there to influence people. Just one example at the moment. Lotions approved for the skin are noted not to ingest but we know that the skin absorbs these toxins also. Maybe we can put up with a little cancer, is that their thinking? Not sure. I bought a book and nothing else so your sales pitch comment doesn’t fit. Yes, I do try to check other sources but you also have to watch those other sources. I.e. WebMD has ‘articles’ that come from Pharm. companies. I’m sure people miss the little note that it is from an advertiser and take it as knowledge for their better but I think the motives are more $ driven. !!!!!!http://my.webmd.com/content/article/60/67018.htm !!!!!!WebMD also believes that valuable content is available from WebMD sponsors, advertisers, and partners, but that such content must be clearly labeled. I’m not taking any big leaps here (in my eyes) but just trying to make sense of everything in the bettermint of my health and my family’s health. It seems that most here just want to totally discredit Kevin’s book because of his past. To me, that’s like a horse with blinders on. I’ve been giving snippets but there’s a lot more to it. And remember I didn’t come here to get into all of this. I was just trying to see if anyone had an experience with his weight loss tips. Geez….
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I’m half way through the book and I can say it is much more than the 30 minute infomercial. According to Kevin, there are ties from the food industry (processed foods, ingredients that are not even on labels) to the FDA (how come they allow not to list these ingredients that cause us problems?) to the FTC (squashing any small company that has natural products that work in favor of huge profits for the pharm. industry) to the government (which bows to the lobbyists for the food and pharm. industries) to the pharm. industry (which comes up with a pill) to the doctors (who are pushed to give the pill or else). In his words, it’s all about the $. Billions. And a small amount of people who are controlling it. Mike, conficts of interests are everywhere, as is subversion of regulatory agencies by the industries that they are supposed to regulate. Conflicts of interest exist in customer/car mechanic or customer/psychotherapist relationship or client’lawyer relationship etc. As far as antibiotics, I think it is well known they don’t discriminate and kill good and bad bacteria. Of course. The book also talks about getting your body more alkaline than acidic. In this state, diseases/cancer have a much harder time surviving. I’ve seen similar info on various web sites. So, why isn’t the food/medical/pharm. communities really, really telling us? Because there isn’t much profit there. Instead we get plowed into the ground with advertisements (starting at an early age) to eat this and take that pill. I have to say the book brings up a lot of things to think about and has sold over 2 million copies and also is self published. Not an easy feat. I enjoy it and am learning from it. I believe that the alkalinity and acidity talk is extreme bullshit. I read about it a little, some time ago. Basically, our bodies maintain a very fine homeostasis of at least blood alkalinity, it is not something that we can change by, say, food intake. If we eat more acid, we excrete more acid. But our blood’s pH stays unchanged. That’s my understanding and, admittedly, I only spent a short time reading about it, but it made perfect sense. Check out medline, it has many medical articles on any topic. So, I think, we have someone who says things obvious to any realist (that there are conflicts of interest, subversion of regulators etc), and from there takes a not so subtle leap to Kevin’s own bullshit and sales pitches. Be careful to double check whether there is a true logical foundation for these leaps. i I totally understand your feeling based on his history. It does seem sketchy at best.

My supermarket does have a few items (fruit/vegie) that are organic but you can’t eat yams every day.
I eat a baked yam every day. I do not eat potatoes because they are a member of the nightshade family so yams make a good substitute for me. The organic yams are right next to the non-organic yams and cost about 30% more. Hmmmm….
Organic produce does cost a little more but since I no longer eat processed food I figure I am well worth the extra expenditure. I haven’t seen any bison, venison, etc. anywhere. Also, the seafood at the supermarket I bet is mostly, if not all, farm raised and not the best, not to mention quite expensive.
Even if it is farm raised it is better to eat then wolfing down poptarts and you can buy it when it is on sale. We have started purchasing eggs from free roaming hens (expensive). The organic ones are even more $.
Now that I do not understand,why they would cost more, because the hens are getting whatever bugs and insects they eat from the ground in addition to thier feed. You would think this would make them cheaper. I’ve had eggs from free roaming hens only a couple of times in my life. They were brought to me from an old boyfriend when he was in the ‘honeymoon stage’ of our relationship. The eggs tasted so much better then the ones I purchase at the store but the omega 3 eggs were the closest I found in taste. Even the yolks are almost similiar in colour. I miss those eggs. LOL. My wife and I have 3 children so it can be very expensive very quick. Maybe where you are it isn’t that tough but where I am it seems damn difficult.
I’m in Hamilton, Ontario and I have it tough too. I’m cureently on disability and feeding 3 others as well as myself on that one income. It doesn’t leave a whole lot left for luxuries. We own our house and I enjoy gardening but that is still limited to a couple months. No room for a greenhouse.
Same here. My growing season is from mid-May to the first frost.

In other words if you want to avoid nightshades you would need to avoid sweet-potato/yams as well.
That isn’t what my nutritionist told me. She suggested them as a substitute for potatoes and they give me no arthritis pain. On the other hand they are lower carb count and lower glycemic load than starchy white potatoes.
This is true but I am not on a low carb diet anymore. I simply limit my intake of good carbs on a daily basis. Space costs. Factory chickens are grown in cages that go up level after level like high-rise condos. Free range chickens can only be grown on one level. The difference in land more than makes up for the cost of grain feed versus free bugs.
But after the farmer owning that land for a number of years should bring the cost of the eggs down, one would assume.

I have to say that I really didn’t expect all these responses. It’s been an interesting thread. Good health to all!
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hello, I’m currently reading the Natural Cures book by Kevin Trudeau. It’s very interesting and he also included a book on CD for weight loss. He gives over 20 tips to losing weight. Although I only would like to lose a few pounds to trim up, I was wondering if anyone else had an experience with it. I’d like to give that info to others. Thanks, Mike

My supermarket does have a few items (fruit/vegie) that are organic but you can’t eat yams every day. I eat a baked yam every day. I do not eat potatoes because they are a member of the nightshade family so yams make a good substitute for me.
It is my understanding that yams and sweet potatos are different breeds of the same species in North American stores and that true yams are a different vegitable that is only available in tropical climates. Apparently they are 10+ kilos each for the real thing. In other words if you want to avoid nightshades you would need to avoid sweet-potato/yams as well. On the other hand they are lower carb count and lower glycemic load than starchy white potatoes. We have started purchasing eggs from free roaming hens (expensive). The organic ones are even more $. Now that I do not understand,why they would cost more, because the hens are getting whatever bugs and insects they eat from the ground in addition to thier feed. You would think this would make them cheaper.

I have noticed that I’m not breathing well at all – a lot of shallow breathing followed by the occasional gasp to catch my breath. It’s particularly noticeable when I’m trying to talk to people. I really hope my Wednesday appointment eliminates all of the neurological nasties. Paul
