Varying Opinions ... what’s yours?

While at my in-laws house during spring break, I was looking at some of their books and found one called Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You To Know About by Kevin Trudeau I spent some of our free time going through it as I was interested in what the book had to say about heartburn and ulcers. Much of the book was dedicated to a great conspiracy theory regarding Pharmaceutical companies, Food Companies, and the Government. Not much ready to buy into that, it did give me some things to think about though, after my experience with the Prevacid.

The drug companies were certainly getting a lot of money out of me, to cure heartburn, with the knowledge that I would probably have to use more than the thirty in my bottle. The book gives some basic lists of things a person can do naturally. The book is still at my in-laws, but I took the time to write down the lists. His basic take on life is

Clean out Toxins
Stop Putting Toxins in
Fix Nutritional Deficiencies
Avoid Electromagnetic Chaos
Reduce Stress

Now, the interesting thing is, since I have returned home, I googled Kevin Trudeau. I was not familiar with him and I wanted to know if the internet would give me clues as to the truthfulness of his conspiracy theories. I guess I don’t watch enough infomercials. Apparently he has done quite a few in his lifetime and people either love him or hate him. The reviews on Amazon for his book were all good or all bad, no in between. It was weird to me that people have such opposing opinions, however, when I mentioned that to my husband he mentioned politics and how the same people here the same speech and both come out with different takes on it. So, yes, I guess that makes sense. Outside of Amazon there are many reviews of Trudeau’s books that are more reviews of the man, rather than his book. If someone has taken the time to review him, it seems like he or she doesn’t like him very much.

I actually found that much of what was in his basic lists agreed with the basics of the book by Dr. Hyman. I then went to Amazon and read the reviews for the The Ultra Mind Solution. Interestingly enough, it was the same way, very positive or very negative. I have found, though, that outside reviewers have all been very positive about the information found in Dr. Hyman’s book.
