Nautural Cures book
Kevin Trudeau, the million-selling author, infomercial star and convicted felon has written a sequel to his Natural Cures book. "More Natural Cures," was released in May, 2006. In it, Kevin Trudeau claims that diseases from diabetes to cancer can be treated without drugs or medical procedures. In "More Natural Cures," Trudeau endorses vitamin E, daily walks and organic sea salts and warns against deodorants, celibacy and farm-raised fish. Trudeau says the new book has a first printing of 1 million, a reasonable figure given the success of "Natural Cures." But as of June 30th, "More Natural Cures" ranked just 914 on Amazon.com, and both major superstore chains, Borders and Barnes & Noble, Inc., reported disappointing sales, noting the absence of Trudeau's greatest marketing asset: infomercials. Trudeau's TV spots have brought him wealth and trouble. In 2004, he reached a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission banning him from infomercials "that advertise any type of product, service, or program to the public, except for truthful infomercials for informational publications," according to the FTC. Trudeau was able to air infomercials for "Natural Cures" and says a new round would soon come out for "More Natural Cures." His legal record runs beyond infomercials. He pleaded guilty to larceny in 1990 in Massachusetts after being charged with depositing $80,000 in worthless checks. The following year, he pleaded guilty to credit-card fraud in federal district court and was sentenced to nearly two years in prison. The charges involved the use of credit-card numbers from customers of a memory-improvement course Trudeau was promoting, according to court records.

Dr. Sahelian's opinion on Natural Cures book
One day I was waiting for a friend and had a few minutes to look through Natural Cures at Barnes and Noble. I spend about 15 minutes reading certain sections in various chapters. Natural Cures book disappointed me. There were so many glaring errors and in one chapter where Kevin Trudeau mentions "natural cures" for certain conditions, it seemed just about every disease had a similar treatment. I agree with Kevin Trudeau that the medical profession, the pharmaceutical industry, and sometimes FDA have a bias against supplements, but he should have researched his nutritional suggestions to treat medical conditions much better before publishing such a book read by millions.

Another book that I am not impressed by is natural causes.
