Things to know about this book:
1. The writing style is extremely poor, which I found hugely distracting. Trudeau is not a writer, and it shows.
2. Trudeau suggests Scientology/Dianetics is the best thing to follow. While I don't know if he is a Scientologist, this is an instant deal breaker for me.
3. The book has some common sense (fast food is filled with toxins and if you eat it all the time, you're going to get sick) and there are some interesting ideas, but over all it reads like a paranoid rant where Trudeau wants you to know that he's going to be taken down at any time.
4. This book sets up a complete lifestyle change. Trudeau himself says that it's not realistic to try to do everything at once, but to follow his advice and never be sick again, you have to change everything you are doing right now. Things like getting a special filter installed in your shower, removing all metal dental work, getting 15 colonic in 30 days, not eating pork, no longer taking any prescription or over the counter medication, not eating anything made by man, and more.
5. Trudeau states over and over that the FTC will not let him list specific brands so he continually referrs the reader to his website where he urges you to become a member. Bascially the book is an ad for his site. To join (as of 6/1/06) it's $9.95 a month or $999 for a lifetime membership. In the book he claims he makes no money off of these fees but uses every cent to continue his research.

If you follow his advice you may very well never get sick again and cure anything you already have, but be prepared to change every single aspect of how you live.

I don't think I'll be taking any medical advice from a twice-convicted felon with zero medical training who used to sell real estate investment strategies on late-night infomercials. This book is nothing more than a shill for his subscription-based (PAY) website.

In the interest of consumer safety, I feel compelled to point out that Kevin Trudeau's book does not list any specific brands because the FDA has forbidden him from doing so, due to his multiple occurrences of misrepresentation, false advertising and other misdeeds. Let's not forget that the author has absolutely no medical training, formal, informal, Eastern, Western or otherwise. He is listed at Quackwatch as a "Promoter of Questionable Methods". Caveat emptor.

Who are they? Go to your Dr. and don't buy into this crap. I have a major disease with plenty of 'cures'. Don't let this false hope steer you away from the hard decisions that have to be made.

Blah blah blah blah...
translation...Very poor writing about people who are trying to assasinate me; more blah blah blah that you can read hundreds of places with true detail but if you want detail from me, go to my website and sign up for my newsletter for $$$$...
I read book a library copy of this book, then someone gave me new copies of book one and two. I wouldn't recommend buying either book for real money. A credit maybe, that you could get back after you slam the books shut in disgust and repost...

I've only browsed the book and doubt I'll read it cover to cover. I tend to be suspicious of people like Trudeau who are on board with every new age fad that comes along from eating naturally (which I agree with but he goes so far overboard--easy for him; he has a staff to make sure his food is 100% natural) to magnet therapy to Scientology. Most repulsive is the way he reviles everyone from the pharmacy industry to the grocer because "they" only want in your pocket, yet every other section, he's referring you to his web site to buy his products. And I should believe him because.....?

This book was hard to read in that Mr. Trudeau thinks that by yelling at his readers he will get his point across much better. I have no doubt that a lot of the stuff he says in the book is true and accurate I think that it could have been presented in much better way. When he is not yelling at you and repeating himself (which he does constantly) I found the information informative and have even implemented some of his suggestions. I think that his editors could have done a better job of editing the book and toned down the writing so that it Mr. Trudeau would not have his audience tuning out. I also thought that there should have been some footnotes and a better list of resources to back up what he says. It was like he added the resources chapter as an afterthought. This was poor editing. If you can get past "the in your face yelling" style, it is an informative book.

This book has some aspects that can be helpful to your health, but overall, it is like some kind of conspiracy theory. I pictured Kevin Trudeau in a locked closet with a flashlight pointed at his face, whispering his last words to make you healthier. He just kept going on and on about how "they" are out to get him, if "they" knew he was telling these secrets "they" would stop him. Also, a lot of his secrets are really just common sense things that most people already know, for example, don't eat a lot of fat. Then again, some things are so off the wall that most people wont even consider it, such as removing all the dental work from your teeth.
I think there are much better "living healthy" books out there than this one.

I bought this book hoping it would be helpful in anyway. It was not. He states common sense things like avoid fast food. Duh, you can get that valuable information for free. As others have stated, it's an ad for his website which wants you to spend a lot of money for nothing. I went there, and there's nothing on his website either. I finally managed to contact his customer service, who told me that if I stayed on the website, it would "eventually" have cures up. They even offered me a 1 year "free" membership. I declined and got my money back (eventually). I wish I hadn't spent the money on the book, though, and it angers me every time I see this criminal on TV hawking his bait & switch scam. Acting like he really "cares" about the people he's trying to rip off, uh, I mean "help". The book went in the garbage since that's what it is.

Beware!

My poor grandma wanted this book SO bad a few years ago when she heard the info mercial. I ordered it online for her and it was SUCH a dissapointment! He gives you ZERO information. Everytime you think your going to learn something, the book dirests you to this website that you have to pay money to join!! What a rip off! I feel so sorry for everyone that had to pay for this book.

Interesting book with a lot of neat information. Not exactly what I expected as it doesn't really come right out and tell you how to cure things. Telling you what to use doesn't help if you don't know how much or where to use it. This book did open my eyes to a lot of problems stemming from the FDA.

Alot of sour grapes from Trudeau but not a whole lotta good useable info. Alot of ranting of all the bad stuff the government does to prevent heathy living, but no secrets here.

Trudeau, the author, is a convicted felon (fraud, larceny), huckster, and conspiracy theorist.

Much of the information in this book is not only merely incorrect, but actively harmful. Some of the claims, such as would make a 19th century snake-oil salesman blush. "If your body is alkaline, you cannot get cancer ... and if you have cancer, it goes away." One of the "cures" contained in the book is a recommendation of Dianetics, Scientology pseudoscience.

Here's my secret "he" doesn't want you to know about: Pharmaceuticals don't give you AIDS or lupus, despite what Trudeau says.

For your own sake, *please* seek the advice of someone who knows something about medicine. Or at least someone who isn't trying to defraud those of us who don't.

For me this book sparked my interest in wanting to find out more about natural cures/remedies.

This book is full of unusual ideas for losing weight, never getting sick again and other things. This is for someone that is more into all natural things.

Very good and informatiive book. This was a very expensive book but I am done with it so I thought when I join here someone else might like it.

From Back Cover... Kevin Trudeau blows the lid off a nest of deception and double standards while providing hope through clear answers and powerful solutions in this, he breakthrough best-seller.
