Kevin Trudeau’s book of bullshit Natural Cures ‘They’ Don’t Want You to Know About is a bestseller? According to The Daily Show, anyhoo. People are stupidlyer than I thought. And I didn’t think that they were generally very smart to begin with. Even if it was rational for people watching the infomercial to believe that there were natural cures to diabetes/cancer/herpes that somehow hadn’t already been on the front page of the newspaper because there’s some sinister they keeping them a secret… shouldn’t it offend their sensibilities just a wee to have Kevin pretend to be the good guy (and he is not ), to hear him claim that they won’t let the secrets get out because “it’s all about the money”, and then to be asked to fork over $29.95 for the book (BTW, the cures aren’t even in the book — you also need to subscribe to the newsletter and mailing list for extra $$$ for those)? Let me tell you… I contemplated “losing” the copy of the infomercial that my TV station had more than a few times. Not only is Kevin Trudeau taking advantage of people, but he’s a complete and utter moron, and the infomercial is just bloody annoying. Possibly moreso than The 700 Club. Wait. No. Nothing beats The 700 Club. Not even Bill O’Reilly (speaking of Billy boy… I think I agreed with him for the first time ever when he spoke out against Kevin Trudeau recently).
This is my favourite part of the infomercial:
There are health freedoms in this country that are being taken away from us. There are more people sick today than ever before. There are more people that are overweight. There are more people that have diabetes. There are more people that have cancer. There are more people that have heart disease. There are more people that have migraine headaches. There are more people that have arthritis. There are more people that have virtually every major health abnormality.
Yes, Kevy. There are more people. Period. Point, plz? He sounds like enough of an idiot here even before anyone gets around to pointing out anything about better diagnosis or treatment of these diseases (i.e. nobody had epilepsy in the 16th century, when it was so obvious at the time that the symptoms were caused by demons (also the cause of just about every other disease, I’m sure), and that the cure was exorcism — that’s an increase in the number of cases of oh… infinity percent), or that people are also living longer than ever before… Yes, it’s so obvious. Modern medicine is failing us. Miserably.
Which reminds me how happy I am that I no longer work at Fox. I will never again have to watch 12 infomercials over a weekend, Fox News Sunday, or The 700 Club. We all know that I still will, because I just love getting myself angry… but I don’t have to anymore. I am doing a little dance of joy right now, but you can’t see it.
My favorite is when he says that sunscreen, not the sun, is responsible for skin cancer.
Someone shoot this moron, please!

Kevin strikes a chord when he talks about the evils of the drug companies and the FDA. I believe they are only in the biz of making money, not finding real cures.

It’s a nice method of persuasion… he says something that sounds reasonable to most people, and suddenly every nutty thing that he says afterwards sounds reasonable as well, even though the nuttiness doesn’t follow from that reasonable point, and doesn’t, in fact, have anything to do with it whatsoever. Maybe the FDA is evil. That doesn’t make it any more likely that Kevin knows the cure for cancer.
Wouldn’t it be

get your brain out of the toilet
Ive come to believe just about everything said in his book
but independantly of him, long before i ever heard of him.
Just by not being affraid to face facts & being honest with myself.
Ive been eating organic for years, stopped eating meat 7 years ago,
avoid my doctor’s attempts to put me on pharmaceuticals,
I am a non-violent pacifist, I never get sick & i am genuinely & totally happy all the time & creatively inspired much of the time.
I help those around me without even meaning to.
Everything is connected & all actions & intentions have reactions and consequences. Just because we haven’t found the root causes of what we experience does not mean they are not there.
To me, most of what i hear people talking about & believing out there, is soo filled with contradictions & obvious defective reasoning, it blows me away !
1 quick example – Jesus said Thou shall not kill
yet so many christians completely support the war
& the killing of innocent people…
Why are the modern masses so stupid ??
Hmmm actually i know exactly why…
nevermind
: ) peace !

You’re blown away that people believe things that are filled with contradictions and obvious defective reasoning… yet you trust Kevin Trudeau? Thanks for the laugh!
