I just got that book the other day, and am currently reading it. It is, in my opinion, the greatest book I have ever layed my hands on. It blows my mind how corrupted the American government; my government; is. In case anybody doesn't know what this book is about and has never seen Kevin Trudeau's infomercials about his book I highly suggest that you look into it. Mr. Trudeau explains how the FDA and the FTC keep us sick so we keep buying prescription drugs, and all the while us not knowing that it is the drugs themselves that are making us sick to begin with. He explains that for virtually every disease there is an inexpensive, natural cure, but since the FDA is all about profits, if there would be a natural cure that would totally eliminate the disease, there is no money to be made in that. The FDA intecepts that cure, no matter how benign and non-druglike it is, and destroys it before it can be utilized. I think that is awful. One such occurence Mr. Trudeau explains in his book is that a man was selling bread that was high in fiber, claiming that a diet high in fiber could prevent cancer. The FDA labeled the bread as a drug, and immediately went in, took the bread, and threw the man in jail for selling drugs without a license. When the man asked the FDA to give the bread to the homeless, they said no and destroyed it. Am I the only one besides Mr. Trudeau that thinks that that is completely terrible?

Please, everyone put their points in, and if you own the book, please respond.

Lol i already knew about this but we cant do anything at this point theyve grown too strong if they werent holding back so much then we wouldnt have aids, or cancer anymore

Ooh!! Corruptions in politics!! I'll check this book out, thanks

I seriously doubt that the book is truthful. Trudeau provides no evidence for his allegations of the FDA banning natural cures and such.
A. I don't believe there are many effective natural cures out there for diseases. Natural cures would not present a big threat to the drug industry.
B. The FDA makes no profit from the drug industry. They are steadily funded approximately $15,000,000 by the government.
C. Banning the sale of bread would be unlawful. Anyone could sell whatever they want and a man selling bread would pose no threat to huge multi-billion dollar companies.
Though I must agree with you that the FDA has a large amount of power. Any surplus of power can be abused and if this ever happens, it should be immediately investigated.

I was wondering about this book i seen the info mercial a while back.

i cheacked this book out i even own it and i have tested a great some of the cures it says and they are right give or take the amount compared to problem and body size age ECT.

but i can honestly say this book is at least mostly true but what i don't get is did you know that caffine is a weight loss thing most people don't thats why the FDA says don't get to much caffine like coffe or chocolate

What you don't understand about the bread is that the FDA took what the man was selling as a new drug. He claimed that it had good benefits to your health and could promote weight loss and prevent certain cancers. According to the FDA, only drugs can treat, prevent, or cure a disease. So in that context, what that man was selling was a drug. Since he didn't have a license to sell drugs, they confiscated it. I read the whole story about it, and it was ridiculous how the FDA went around the law to get this man put out of business.

And I wouldn't be surprised if the cures they speak of are kept secret in the long run, basically in the name of money. The US is a dark place for healthcare, insurance companies and the medical industry intertwine, you need to have a ridiculously expensive policy with eighty-thousand guidelines to be eligible, and of course doctors won't do so much as look at you without an insurance policy; which I am damned sure is a violation of the Hippocratic oath. Still, they don't care about us, about you or your family. They've intertwined themself with your government also, which has betrayed you in the namesake of money and fascism.
The government ignored the UN resolution to healthcare as a right that everyone should have for this reason. Instead we treat it as a service given to those who can pay, and withhold it from those who cannot. As far as drug companies go, they probably are hiding many things from the public eye for the sake of money, which of course is to be expected of the high upper-class. The higher up the power echelons you go, the more numerous and perverse the pleasures become from watching others suffer below you.

Perhaps the only cure for the entire problem (and many others) in the long run is to abolish the money that causes it.

I live in NZ, so we have a different health system to that of the flawed US of A.

I'm also studying pharmacy - the FDA are the McDaddy's of the pharmaceutical and xenobiotic industry- in order for a pharmaceutical company to make big worldwide moolah on a new drug/compound with a therapeutic purpose it needs to be FDA approved. The FDA have practically monopolyised this sector.

As for the guy selling high fibre bread - I'm not surprised that the FDA attacked him. What kind of laws are placed in the USA in terms of 'Herbal' medications?
I know that in NZ - a "herbal" such as 'fibre' is treated as a 'drug' or alternative medication based on the claims it makes and the evidence it has (as in clinical trial evidence) - it must be approved as either a herbal or drug - as this determines the type of advertising and the criteria it must go through.
So if the guy was in the NZ making these claims - his product would have been classed as a 'herbal' in which he could not make any therapeutic claims (ie it cannot claim to cure or to prevent but can only 'alleviate') unless there was substantial evidence and that it had been approved by the Director General. In NZ he probably would have gotten away with it (we're pretty slack in the herbal regulations section), but in the US the FDA would have come down on him hard - which is what has been published in the book. There's a lot of regulations and legal criteria that must be meet in order to advertise something that will be of benefit to a human's health - I think that the guy didn't know this and the legal system got him. You have to have a license for making food anyway if you're going to be selling it to the public - for quality assurance.

There are a lot of natural cures/drugs out there - all the synthetic drugs you see on the shelf of a pharmacy have been modelled from naturally-occuring compounds that have elicited the therapeutic effect.
Something like 'fibre' is trivial. The World Health Organisation (WHO) have been promoting healthy eating and diets for a few years now - and if you think about it years back many people didnt eat lots of refined/processed foods, they ate a lot of veges, wheat - and there were low bowel cancer rates in those years.
If you have bowel cancer and start taking the fibre it's not going to have any effect - ie its not a cure; but if you are 5yrs old and start eating lots of fibre and carry that through life - the risk of you getting bowel cancer is small.

Yea the idea of this book is ridulous. This guy has served jail time for other fraudulent crap hes done. He was on nancy grace on CNN a week ago and just watching this guy made me sick
