Crocodile Protein Peptide

This (via Butterflies and Wheels) is a great demolition job on snake-oil salesman Kevin Trudeau, author of "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About":

On this, our lucky day, Kevin Trudeau is introducing us to his personal electromagnetic chaos eliminator. Trudeau, who has sold millions of books by touting the curative properties of things such as magnetic toe rings and crocodile protein peptide, believes the sole thing keeping his brain from being "microwaved from the inside out" by cell phones and radio waves is this electromagnetic whatever. We are intrigued.

"Would you like to see this magical device?"

Boy, would we!

On a publicity tour in the suite of a midtown hotel room, Trudeau unbuttons his fine white dress shirt.

This seems like a good time to note how extremely well-dressed Kevin Trudeau is, in the fine tradition of TV salesmen and televangelists. Over the dress shirt is a butter-colored tie that precisely matches the pocket square tucked into his luxury Brioni suit. He wears alligator shoes. On his left wrist is a Rolex Masterpiece dripping with diamonds, and on his right ring finger is a rock so big a child could choke on it.

Over the years, Trudeau, an ex-con who never went to college or medical school, has been remarkably successful doing infomercials for everything from how to achieve a photographic memory to how to cure your addictions to how to beat cancer by ingesting a particular type of calcium that, as fate would have it, he also happened to sell.

Now he sells the most popular nonfiction book in the country, according to Publishers Weekly. In "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About," Trudeau explains how a massive cabal formed of the federal government, pharmaceutical companies and the media is keeping Americans from living well past 100. He advises everybody to get off prescription drugs, even if they have serious problems like diabetes or blood clots; he reveals how multiple sclerosis can be cured by magnetic mattress pads.

He says sunscreen doesn't prevent skin cancer. Instead (wait for it), sunscreen causes skin cancer.

This appeared in the Washington Post on October 23rd. Prior to mid-October the reviews on Amazon.com had been mixed but largely negative ("If you want to buy this book, knock yourself out. But realize that in doing so, you tacitly acknowledge that you are in fact a moron."). But suddenly, from about October 17th, there was a dramatic increase in the number of rave 5-star reviews. Beatrice Lampoon, for instance, had this to say:

I am very impressed with Kevin Trudeau. He certainly shows passion for what he believes in. It appears that he has battled a lot to get this information out to us. I did not know much about additives in foods- never thought about it in fact. Or many of the other things he writes about in this book.

Exposing our country's dark secrets is bound to make him some enemies, if it has not already. All the more reason to support this man and his work and spread his message, because if there was not some truth to it no one would be getting upset now would they...

I haven't counted, but there must be over 400 of these encomiums. What an extraordinary coincidence, that all these people should feel moved to endorse Trudeau's book just at this particular time.

sunscreen DOES cause skin cancer. This is 20 years in the chemical research field talking. Kevin T.is inconsequential. Much of what he espouses is true- drug and food industry not giving a crap about people's health and all that. Some of the "cures" he talks about sound bizzare with no proven record. And some have a long number of successes. Drivvle is to lump everything together in a K.T. bag and take pot shots at it for clever sport.

[me]

Pray for not getting sick with all the crap you eat and the way you are exposed and of course the way you think and talk, and if you get sick I hope you are not stupid enough and start taking his advice, otherwise you would have to resignate to die in the hands of "greedy" people who doesnt even care at all about your health and just want you to get sick and buy medicine and go consult them, so they live out of your money..you choose

[dorsey]

How do you know unless you try it? I'm trying some of the stuff In Kevin T's book and I feel great.

[Jonathan Lee]

Everything K.T. suggests may not be true, but after trying apple vinegar to control my "extreme" acid reflux, I'm looking forward to seeing what else works. That alone has saved me mucho dollars.

[Jim Smith]

How does Kevin Trudeau get away with this garbage. He claims there is a cure for cancer that the government is hiding from the people. It's the Royal Rife machine that was confiscated by the government. Just get hooked up to that thing and in 1 hour all of the cancer cells are gone from your body. What a major fraud this guy is. He makes Jimmy Swaggart look honest.

[Joseph]

Has anyone been successful with anything in particular for arthritis in the shoulder??

[Coty Stephen Cassell]

Kevin Trudeu may have a criminal record and no formal training, but I feel strongly that his methods work. I have tried many of his suggestions and started looking into more natural cures. Now I tell everyone I know to use natural cures. Natural cures are miracles, however you must live a healthy natural lifestyle for them to work. If you are considering buying his book, I believe you should.

[SB]

First of all, I think KT's first book didn't give enough information that people expected from his infomercial such as symptoms, diseases and cures...BUT, I think he addresses these expectations better in the second book. Something I am realizing now and I think this is relevent to most people—most people are looking for a quick fix or "magic pill" which is why most people turn to pharmaceuticals rather than taking responsibility for their own health by making healthy choices and taking the more difficult route of taking multiple pills (like vitamins), exercise, etc. People drink alcohol, smoke, eat processed foods, drink sodas, or worse yet consume "diet" nonfoods, think negative thoughts, live in fear, stress, denial, etc. and yet think that a Pharma pill will solve their problems or that a pop tart is food. We ALL need to rethink these pack of lies that are literally being fed to us and poisoning us. At least KT is willing to put his life on the line (literally) to expose these lies. I think the Pharmaceutical Industry is no better than the tobacco industry and will be exposed on a greater scale eventually. The news media won't touch this subject because where do you think they get there money from... THEM (something like 70% of as are pharmaceutical and are "direct selling" to the patient rather than to doctors these days).

I think the information KT DOES give you is key to setting a foundation of health and it helps people to see through the drug advertising we are so bombarded with these days. Hey, if he is making a buck waking people up to the truth—that's great as long as it is honest (and he admits his past mistakes/learning experiences in his books!). I had the same thoughts some people have and that was "oh great, I buy this expensive book—all excited—and then to find out if I want more information I have to sign up to his website?" I was truly bummed. BUT, I did read his book and I even have his second book (which is much better) and there is A LOT of good information to learn (even without the extensive website information) if you are looking to PREVENT dis-ease in your body rather than just a quick cure. It is much easier to prevent something like cancer than it is cure it. I think the book IS worth every penny and will it help make a HUGE difference in anyone's health if they follow what he suggests.

I have been reading and learning about natural medicine as a hobby for most of my life and this book covers a whole spectrum of treatments and possibilities that have shown to have MAJOR beneficial effects on the body. If you could be cured naturally (without patented drugs or poisons which is what I like to call them), it would put the largest money-making industry out of business. The mark-up alone on the drugs most Americans take is in the thousand(s) percentage! That's ridiculous! All because they've got you thinking there is no other ay

Here are some of my successes:

ANTIBIOTICS: Since I was a baby with earaches, sinus infections, broncitus, tonsilitus (you name it) I was always sick. Up until the age of 27 or so I was taking antibiotics regularly several times a year. Then when I lived in Brazil I was introduced to Propolis which is a natural anitbiotic made by bees to protect their bee hives. 10 years now I still have never taken antibiotics for ANYTHING! When I get sick (if I ever get sick which is rare now), I do natural cleansing rather than taking over the counter or prescription drugs. If I have a fever, I let it ride knowing that this is my body's own immune system at work (as long as it is not over 103 degress which is never).

PMS: Another thing I don't take is any kind of pain killer or pills of any form, not even for cramps...and you know what? I don't get cramps AT ALL anymore. I don't know why but I just don't. I get regular periods every single month but no cramps. And if I get a headache I try to figure out why I have that headache and drink lots of water and sleep or eat something healthy rather than reaching for the pills.

IBS: I also had IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrom), went to the doctor, tests were inconclusive just symptomatic and so they put me on anti-depressants. Well, I did NOT take their advice of antidepressants and now I no longer have the problems I had before because I found the root cause and changed my habits. What did I do? Changed things in my diet that would cause lower intestine problems like not eating enough fresh fruits and vegetables and drinking lots of water, stopped drinking caffeine and alcohol and started a plan of organic vitamins & supplements which I take faithfully every day. After years of feeling pain in my lower abdomen and worried it would turn into cancer or something else, I now have a feeling of being in control of my own health and destiny. I know that the body is a natural healing machine if I stop putting the toxins in, start doing things like drink lots of clean, filtered water and exercise to release toxins, I will create an environment that will keep my immune system strong.

Also, I want to add some things that KT mentions may seem far out and unbelievable but I would not disbelieve anything because frankly I think putting poisons (pharmaceuticals) into your body to correct your ailment is nothing but a band-aid. That's why they say if the cancer goes away through surgery or chemo or pharmaceuticals) and then comes back, it will come back twice as bad and will most-likely not be curable the second time around. Why? Because they didn't solve the underlying problem that caused the cancer to grow to begin with

Think about it. If you were to swallow 40 pharmaceutical pills, you would most positively die. Now, if you were to take 40 vitamins and supplements, mostly likely you would be not only be alive but healthier than before you took them. Now, you tell me what makes sense to you?

If you can see through the body (like in an x-ray) than I believe there are things out there that you can do — things beyond your imagination. I just learned of another VERY impressive techinique called "Vocal Analysis"....and WOW, I was completely blown away! My soul-mate just had this done and I swear it was like the practiioner knew everything he had ever put into to his body his whole life, even emotional imbalances right down to the very detail. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone that wants to figure out their own state of health.

So lastly, the Pharmaceutical industry doesn't "cure" people, they only "treat" people. According to the Pharmaceutical Industry for a lot of diseases out there, there is no cure, and they don't know what causes these so-called diseases....hmmmm? But, they KNOW how to treat it? Does that make ANY sense to ANYONE? Try "Vocal Analysis". This will tell you the root of the problem, what your addictions are, what the imbalance in your body that causes a particular addiction, etc. AND best of all can treat and cure your ailment—even autism!

I wish you all great health. Kudos to you Kevin Trudeau! And those of you non-believers or pill-poppers...RIP

[Chris Mann]

I have done the things mentioned in KT's book and me and my family have not been sick in over a year. We have more energy and our immune systems are so strong now its almost scary. We don't even get colds anymore!

[Becky]

I live and breathe by Mr. Trudeau's book. Anyone who says negative things about him must be working for one of the evils... Pharm. Co's or Gov't Agencies. Shame on you for poisoning the American people and bashing the only man to stand up for us!

[hourvash jones]

I am a former ICU nurse and now work at Childrens Hospital. I understand that some people may not agree with K.T...until they become sick. That is what happened to me and MD's had no idea what was wrong--they thought I had lupus and did tests. I wised up and stopped seeing medical doctors and went on a gluten free diet and a candida cleanse and I have not felt so amazing--and I lost 35 pounds. I started reading K.T. books and I agree with EVERY THING he writes. Coming from the inside of our medical indurstry I know that Big Pharma does not give a crap about your health and our doctors are also pawn's of Big Pharma. If you care about the QUALITY OF YOU LIFE then I suggest you do research into these natural cures before you decide that they don't work.

[DAvid Lucas]

Kevins book is just plan common since. It works better than mainstream medicine without the terrible side effects of drugs. Hse doesn't claim much that cant be researched and provin from hundred of other sources. He simple has compiled it all in one great refrence book for people who think for there self enough to beleive it.

[knowledge copes]

Why are you guys doing this to kevin?.All he did was tell the truth and you guy would rather believe the doctors.The doctor killed my grandfather,uncles,aunt and killed my grandmother.Go ahead and going to the doctor and one day the doctors going to kill you too.

[knowledge]

the doctors will kill you

[Judah]

I've bought the book ... tried the part on colds/flu ... have yet to complain ... Cheers

Be bold on the journey.

[Sue]

I don't know if 100% of what Kevin says in his book is true but I KNOW FOR SURE THAT A GOOD PART OF IT IS! I had a hard time believing what I was reading but since the doctors did not leave me a choice I started doing what he said. Maybe getting "treated" only by incompetent doctors was my luck and made me more open to hear what Kevin had to say... From my personal experience I could tell you that the ONLY medical practitioner that helped me was in fact a vet! Yes, after seeing a dermatologist spending money on stupid creams and waisting months, I went and see my cat's vet. He said ohhh... that's nothing, stop buying expensive medicine, just put a chlorine solution. Whatever that ugly thing was, it was gone in one week. The rest of them... they all sucked: breast surgery at the wrong spot without removing the lump! wrong medication galore, wrong advice, etc. Of course Kevin is right... I wish he was not but he is! I started doing some of his cures. They ALL worked! People who don't believe it are people who refuse to change their life style and eating habits. Of course it is much easier to not give a crap and then just take drugs when we are sick. Taking care of our bodies is a real challenge... some prefer just ignoring the reality and living the easy live our government designed for us. Good luck and good health to all!

[cb]

damn right, only go to hospitals or doctors if your going to die or face disfigurement, otherwise save money and dignity and cure it yourself, doctors
are thieves and thats the truth.

[Kevin Trudeu]

These guys are real scumbags. The big Pharm companies may be in it for the money but so are these jokers. I'd urge you guys to do more research on this guy. I mean come on the guy even served time in prison for credit card fraud and trying to pass off as a doctor.

[Vexx]

That article was hardly a "demolition job".... didn't tell me anything I didn't get from reading ALL of KT's books.
I think the man's a genius.

A little out there...maybe, but according to WHOM???
The FDA? The FTC? That's a laugh.

KT dishes out some good common sense. Sad to say, yes, most of us DO need it pointed out.
That's why he says things in his books OVER and OVER.
Hello.
Obviously, the sheeple need things pointed out and repeated, or we wouldn't be in this God awful shape to need KT's advice.

Is someone going to actually argue against the FACT that we are eating chemicals that are unnatural, and it's CAUSING the breakdown of our bodies???
Do we need "research" to show us that?
Come on.
I think the nay-sayers are just pissed because KT has shown us all how IGNORANT we've been.
Get over it and get healthy.

[Athena Taylor]

To: Hourvash Jones, Get a dictionary! Learn how to spell and do your home work before you give your opinion! I believe everyone before speaking, should either test ,try, or implement, what they are referring to! And all it does when a person talks about something they do not know about and talk as if it cannot be censored, it verifies their ignorance! What kevin talks about is not common sense! If it was he would not have went this far so you can receive his message! The only way it can be censored is if you have tried it, and it failed you! Kevin thank you for compiling all the information in your book! Just reading your book shed light on, it seems like a million problems and issues, that can now be corrected! Me and my family appreciate what you have done and gave....LIFE!And if it is said a trillion times for people to get it, then so be it!

[knowledge copes]

think about it,doctors suppose to you better not sicker.I know know that doctors are killers because there the reason my cousin and granddad is not living today.the doctoor and goverment work together so they can get rich of you lost minded americans.all i can say is to you people is,WAKE UP.

[Gloria Boyington]

I'm reading his book now,there is so much of it that makes a lot of sense,have tried a couple of things and know I'm feeling a whole lot better, even sleeping better. KT may be a fraud but he still makes me want to keep reading and trying to feel as good as possible. I'm 75 and intent to try for 105.

[janet kotlaba]

I recently bought his books and was wondering if anyone has had arthritus of the spine ...and been cured. my mother has it and has been getting these shots that do no good.

thanks.........janet

[Chris P.]

I'm always amazed at how people can be so closed minded. Regardless of who can provide the information, one has to check and verify facts. With internet, it becomes so much easier nowadays. If you read ALL of KT's book, he tells you a few times across the book: try a few things. To cut all medications right away? Well, lets all be responsible. A diabetic patient should certainly not stop his current treatment overnight, but maybe some of the suggestions could help.

Such suggestions as cutting off Aspertame is harmless to do, if you do suffer from one of the problems KT claims could be affected by Aspertame. My teen daughter had horrible mood swings, was suffering from migraines and plainly said, was hell to live with. BEFORE we had even heard of Kevin Trudeau, my wife saw an article from someone who was consuming a large amount of "diet" products and had had severe health problems for 25 years, even going through removal of her ovaries, because it was believed it was hormone related. She quit using any of those Aspertame products and claimed she saw the difference in 3 DAYS. Why not try, we thought... sure enough, in 3 days, the mood swings vanished. No medications, no change in lifestyle, just no more Aspertame. And she knew nothing about it at first, we just made sure those products with Aspertame were not available to her for a few days. We knew it worked when her younger brother came to see us after a week and said: "What's wrong with her, she's not nasty anymore?". Was it really Aspertame... maybe. The only thing we know for sure is that all the lives of this little family changed for the better from that day on.

Is it only "deadly manmade chemicals"... maybe not. Afterall, it seems that a lot of kids can die from peanut allergies.. and those are not completely man made!

Another example would be what my mother withnessed when she was an X-ray technician. She took herself the X-ray of a cancer patientwho was terminally ill, and got cured with placebos. Does this mean that all cancer patients should run out and buy loads of placebos? Of course not. And I think its one of the messages KT is giving in his book: the mind is much more powerful than we realise. My mother told me that this cancer patient was told he was on an experimental drug; the doctor has no idea why he tried that, but since the patient was terminally ill, he saw no harm done. It worked... not once, but twice. After a few years, that patient came back, the cancer had returned. He had been told there was no such drug. The doctor told him: "I told you it was experimental, only a small group of researchers are aware of this project". The cancer went away a second time.

Will it work for everyone... of course not. Will Crocodile peptide work for everyone? of course not. But the secret here is to try something that seems harmless, and believe in it. Believe in it because it could work.. because it has worked for others. Take it step by step, not to throw out all your medications overnight, regardless if it is KT or your great aunt who tells you so!!

Its all a matter of common sense, and at times, its people like KT who remind all of us that common sense is the first element required to be on the path of recovery.

Just have an open mind... take the elements that suit you, and leave the others aside. The only thing that one can say about KT's book with absolute certainty is that it opens the way to other possibilities, a lot of which are harmless and full of common sense, and who knows.. they might just work for you!

[Darryl]

Maybe if Americans had a better health care system, you would have an easier time trusting Doctors. In Canada they are just government employees and its undebatable that they are there to help you.

I assume Mr. Kevin is just teaching you common sense. It should be very obvious to everyone that your body becomes used to drugs like antibiotics, tylenol, and pain killers. I frequently turn down conventional medicine when I see it as a luxury, and not a necessity, and everytime I do use it, it is extremely effective.

If these books work for you great, but dont be so dramatic about it.
