While this book may have some worthwhile suggestions which most are common sense, exercise regularly, drink water, limit fast foods, I think overall it is untrue information. On page 148 he says not to use non-stick cookware, but then on page 414, he writes twice that he uses non-stick skillets. Is he not practicing what he preaches? He is not a doctor and should not be telling people to stop taking medicine!

Kevin Trudau is a fraud and a con artist. He is an expert, but only at parting you with your money. In his book he does nothing but whine about how the government censors him, while all the courts ordered was that he stop selling products. He was NEVER forbidden from recommending products or providing nutrition information (though, in my opinion, he should have been). He lies about this blatantly in his book and says that to obtain this information from him (which, in theory, you spent $30 on the book for in the first place) you must subscribe to his website and pay a regular due. Think. If he isn't allowed to make recommendations in a book, why would he be allowed to do so online? It's a scam, and taking some of the little advice he does provided can be very dangerous. He suggests that the sun doesn't cause skin cancer, sunblock does. Aside from this some of the things he propounds are simply ridiculous (wear white clothes in the house, acidity and alkalinity of the body, etc). He also repeatedly states that the food industry wants people to be fat. This makes absolutely no sense. WHY would the food industry want people to be fat? The fatter people are, the more likely they are to try to eat less to improve their health, and thus buy less. Roughly 70% of Americans are fat because (a) they don't exercise enough, (b) they want good tasting food and the best tasting foods are nearly always fattening and (c) various other reasons such as dehydration and stress. Mysterious "chemicals" in the food (which Trudau never identifies) have nothing to do with it. This book is too expensive to be a door stop, too cumbersome to be a paper weight, and it sure as hell isn't good for anything else...

I enjoyed the book as I have always been very interested in natural health. There were many good suggestions for preventing disease which were generally regurgitated from the true experts, but if the word was getting out to the public about pesticides and contaminants and healthy living, I was glad. I also joined the website hoping to find "consumer report-like" information on natural products. Unfortunately, the site did not have much information on it. I attempted to cancel many times, but they kept charging my card anyways. Very frustrating! I don't like being stolen from! So, I sent a complaint to the BBB(IL) thanks to this site, and I have another suggestion as well. Donate your book to your local library. It will help the library collection, and maybe prevent another book from being sold and prevent someone else from being scammed. Just remember to write on the inside cover not to join the website he mentions so many times!!!

I came across this site while researching another product. I recently got the Natural Cures book, with emailed newsletters - though the CD never arrived. Just got the credit card statement but had not opened it yet. So when I read about everyone getting charged for a full year of newsletters, I immediately opened up the statement and - Voila - there it was I must be an idiot, though, because I don't remember the commercial or the CSR saying I would be charged for an entire year of newletters, but I suppose I could have missed that. I called the number and got through very quickly to someone who said the newsletter would be cancelled and the charge refunded in 5-7 business days. We'll see on that. But here is the interesting part.... I wanted to go an extra step so replied to the <a href="mailto:newsletters@naturalcures.com">newsletters@naturalcures.com</a> address, with a cc to <a href="mailto:support@naturalcures.com">support@naturalcures.com</a> that explained I had just cancelled the subscription over the phone and requesting a confirmation of cancellation. A couple of minutes later I received a generic message we received your email message that said my concern, comment, etc would be addressed soon. Only it was not from Natural Cures. Check this out - the sender was bhg.com. As in Better Homes and Gardens, Ladies Home Journal, etc. I have not sent any other recent messages that could have prompted such an email, so at this time can only conclude that somehow Mr. Rebel Kevin Trudeau is linked in business to Better Home and Gardens. How wierd. Will update if I find out more.

I bought this book and was extremely disappointed with it. I never attempted to return it, but it is a definite attempt to rip people off. It never contained the cures to anything. All it did was invite you to find out more on his website(which you must pay to become a member of). He justified having you do this by saying that government agencies where censoring him, so he couldn't say all he wanted to in his book...what makes the book different from his website anyways? I was interested in the cure for diabetes, as I and most of my family are afflicted with this disorder. I was told that I needed to use many different vitamins and minerals, but was never told what these vitamins and minerals were nor in what dosage they should be taken. Also, Mr. Trudeau spends a full three quarters(or more) of this book trying to convince you that every government agency in the world is after him. He is most definitely truly paranoid. This book is truly a big scam, and I suggest that if you have thought of buying it but haven't done so that you don't.

I purchased the book several months ago. The day the book came I called and told them I did not want the new letter. They said they would refund the 75.00 each month the news letter has came and each time I call them say said they would credit my account, which ofcourse has not happened and I keep getting the news letters. I am unemployed and am tired of waisting my money on phone calls. PS. I wish I had returned the book but I did not. But I would like to be refunded for the new letter that I do not Want. Thank you Theo

I ordered the natural cures book hoping there would be an answer to cure my mother diabetes. To my surprise when I recieved the book I found none of the information to be helpful. It seemed to be a good idea at the time to purchase this book considering how diabetes was affecting my mother. I trusted this company to help with my mother's condition, but instead I was scamed. I feel that this infomercial should be banned from television. I also was charged $71.40 for a newsletter I did not order, but after calling I was given a refund. However I am still waiting for a refund on the books I returned. Just remember DO NOT order anything from television until you find out what everyone has to say about the product good and bad. And to everyone who has been scamed by this prooduct do not give up until they have refunded your money to you, it is your money, fight to get it back.

I tried a remedy EXACTLY as instructed with ZERO results. I bought the book for myself and then accepted the 5 books for $25 "deal" over the holidays. I also purchased a $200 lifetime membership for the website. ALL THIS IS BOGUS! Is there a class action lawsuit being filed anywhere?

I purchased the book in December 2004. I read the book for a couple of days when I realized he had no secret to tell. He did have numerous reference to join his website to get more information. The worst thing of all - the government knows about this sam but does nothing about it. It seems odd that we have millions of dollars to help countries around the world, yet they let this con-man to contiue selling his snake oil. I returned the item on 01/10/2005 and now as of February 11, 2006 I have not received a refund to my credit card. No help from the BBB or the federal government.

I ordered Kevin Trudeau's "Natural Cures" book on an on-line bookstore for a discount. Thank goodness I did not order it from the infomercial. [I have read the horror stories.] I found the book somewhat helpful, but the scam started with me by subscribing to the NaturalCures website for $9.95 per month. I got all the information I needed in just one month. I tried to cancel the subscription, but I could not. E-mails and phone calls were of no help. The only way I could cancel was to call my credit card provider and report my card as stolen!! So, shutting down your account is the only way to stop it, as far as I can tell. Bottom line- do not order products through infomercials, and do not subscribe to websites!

I am so very very angry now. I ordered the Natural Cures Book a couple of days ago by calling the phone number on the infomercial and I specifically said no to all of the other products that they tried and kept trying to push upon me. I told them I only wanted the book and only the book and That I better not be charged for anything else, Ilooked at my checking account and they took an additional $71.40 - looks like that was for the newsletter that I made sure to tell the cust service rep, I do not want this several times and that I better not be charged. I just called 847-777-7132 and a lady said they will refund me in 7 - 10 days and I did get my refund, but it put my credit limit over and was charged over the limit fees from my credit card company , thanks to the Thief Kevin Traudeau (Not Spelled Correctly, but you all know who this thief is). I had a bad feeling about this and should've trusted my instincts.. We all need to get this guy thrown in jail!!! What is happening here in America People...Theifs are every where and the law is allowing it.

To start with, I wish I knew of this website BEFORE I purchased the Natural Cures book. My husband saw the infomercial and said he wanted the book. I ordered it at the beginning of November 05. I phoned them on Dec 22nd to find out where my book was. I was told that the website order form had problems and that they now had my order and would ship the book. I phoned them again on Jan 17, 06 and was told the same thing. Well guess what, I still haven't received the book. I called again on Feb 03 and was told they had my order, but no proof that I paid. I was informed that I HAD TO PROVE the book was paid for by faxing them a copy of my statement showing the deduction. Once they received that they would refund my money, because I told them I do not want the book now, I wanted my money back. I am also filing a complaint with the BBB in Illinois. They have to be stopped. Thank you for letting me vent my frustration.

I bought the book and then subscribed to the website for one month for $9.95. I cancelled my subscription within the first week because I found no value in the subscription. They continued to charge my credit card $9.95 per month for October and November. I complained and they promised to fix the problem, and they did refund to two months to my credit card... but now I find they charged my card for December and January.

After ordering the book for $14.95 and agreed to $5.00 per month to charged to my account for a monthly newsletter. I was charged without consent $71.40 on the same day I called the order in. I could not locate a correct phone number on my bank statement the numbers were wrong however i did find the correct number on this site called and demanded a complete refund. This company is definetly a scam and I will join the fight to end the terrible scams that they do to people that have hope to be healthy. We shall see if they actually refund the money and how can you trust the product if you cannot trust the people?

I told the lady I wasn't interested in anything but the book. I haven't been success of recovering my money yet. If anyone that can help please feel free to e-mail me. AT

I suffer from depression, stomach, and allergy problems and was dumb enough to purchase the Natural Cures book. After the $25 for a $15.95 book, 3 weeks of waiting to get the book, and it has been a month now and I still haven't received my $71.40 for his newsletters I didn't want. I was promised 10 business days for a refund...then 30 days for an "immediate refund" I called today and they said another 10 days!!! It was made on a debit/credit card and the charge was done just after New Years what can I do? Any advice out there?
