Kevin Trudeau is a crook. I purchased his book Natural Cures, and it is nothing but a shill for his site, http://www.naturalcures.com/. I paid $9.95 to get access to his site. After registration, I found that my password didn't work. I contacted their customer service to get it fixed, and after two weeks I still do not have access to the site, and calls to their customer service department go unanswered. I am finally sending my bank after him for a chargeback.
The reason the FTC is "after" Trudeau is not because his "cures" are miracles, but because he is a scam artist and snakeoil salesman. Read his book, and if you pay as much attention to it as I did, you will find a section where he advocates practicing Dianetics/Scientology. That alone scared me away, but the complete lack of response regarding the $9.95 I spent to get access to his site was enough to convince me not to take anything he says or writes seriously. The Scientology reference alone should have convinced me otherwise, but I learned my lesson the hard way.
I thought about reselling the book, but decided otherwise and simply threw it away. The folks at my local health food store know more about health and well-being than this man will ever know. All he has done is compiled research completed by others. The book is poorly organized, poorly edited, and not worth the paper it is printed on.
Am I upset? Yes, but more at myself for falling into his trap than anything. Caveat emptor...
Although the article doesn't mention it, this could be a big step ahead for people with diabetes who have developed diabetic neuropathy. I have heard people wish they were dead rather than deal with the painful, distracting, and life-altering side-effects of this affliction.
Being a Type 1 diabetic myself, this is one of the biggest concerns - second only to blindness - that I worry about on a regular basis. Personally, this gives me hope that even if we can't eliminate diabetes altogether, we can at least improve the quality of life for those that do have it and develop associated ailments.
