Kevin Trudeau is an author with no medical training that has had a “Natural Cure” conspiracy book on the New York Times bestseller list for several weeks. He is a noted infomercial salesman that says he has discovered a hidden secret for dieting that only royalty, celebrities and the super wealthy can access in a clinic in Germany. He says he cannot reveal the name or location of the clinic as he is sworn to secrecy.
He claims that a magnetic mattress can cure Multiple Sclerosis and that those that are clinically depressed should give up medications and join Scientology. He makes claims in his books that have no substantiated proof and has attempted to impersonate a physician.
According to an October 2005 article in the Washington Post, in 1998 Trudeau was sighted by the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) for giving false and misleading information to cure hair loss and drug addiction. In 2003, he had to pay out 2 million dollars to the FTC for claiming coral calcium can cure cancer. The list goes on and is a prime example of the kind of hucksters that the diet industry attracts.
Advantages:
Dieter’s are encouraged to look at some aspects of daily living that could contribute to poor health habits.
Disadvantages:
The diet does not give any specific daily instruction. The person is required to inject human chorionic growth hormone to achieve results. This hormone is produced by known forms of cancer and noted medical authorities and scientists have disproved this dangerous drug for weight loss on every occasion.
Long- tem success:
The diet protocol is misleading, difficult to follow, unproven and unsubstantiated. In addition, it claims that you can eat almost anything and leads the consumer to believe that the cost for the hormone injections is minimal and the effect safe. The diet is doomed to fail and can put any innocent person in considerable health risk.
