i read his bestseller book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0975599518/ref=pd_cpt_gw_1/105-8815681-4078048
At first i was really exicted to read his book, everything he said made sense...but the problem I had with the book was the constant repeating, kind of like hypnosis or something, kind of freaked me out...emphasizing everything, AGH....
I dont think he said anything new or on the edge, I think hes dramatic and full of it in half the cr@p he spews,,,, he just repeated what has been known for awhile but had a different style of presenting it.... I looked at his birth chart as well, it all points to a greedy lying sob....
anyone read his book? what do you think of him?

Yeah I think he's full of crap too. I looked at his book but I can't recall anything specific right now. I also read an article later that just picked his book apart. He gives natural medicine a bad name.Yet people want to believe, so they buy. Whatever. You know, if we had universal health care in this country, a lot of these snake oil salesmen would be out of book contracts. Can you post his chart? IP: Logged |

Huh. Well, my first thought wouldn't be a greedy lying sob. But I think he yearns desperately to be seen as an authority. He's very ego-driven. But that Aqua Sun - he likes to make people think he's doing things for the right reasons, and not for himself. Pshaw! Jupiter in Pisces - very creative. Perhaps too much so for his own good. If that falls in his 3rd, yeah, he might be inclined ot "fill out" the truth here and there, so to speak. Oh and it's trining Scorpio Neptune, How charming. how creative. And imaginative. yeah, the truth's pretty flexible to him. Leo Mars plus Cancer moon...*ssssss*..oh I bet he's awfully needy in person. IP: Logged |

Hmmmm...I think Kevin Trudeau self-published, so didn't need a book contract.I've read both of his books, and despite his annoying habits of self-promotion and repetition, I find that he has some valuable information to pass on. He's a weird guy. I am unconvinced that he worked for a secret government agency. I am unconvinced about some of the other things he claims. However...it can't be over-looked that there is truth between the hype. Here in the U.S. we love to eat cr@p food and pop pills for everything that ails us, while the pharma industry churns out medicines that do not heal us, only make us slaves to their products, most of which are dangerous and carry serious health risks. It's worthwhile to read that these are not healthy practices, and Mr. Trudeau is one of the first to be read by so many people. No, he is not original; everything he writes comes from research and other sources. But his is the loudest voice so far, and I love that more people are looking seriously into eating organics, questioning authority (read: the FDA, pharma industry, doctors, etc.), and taking a personal and informed approach to their own healing. He is not the final authority. He is not the best authority. He's a more than a little whacked in some respects. But he is a beginning for the novice, and the discerning, intelligent reader can weed through the cr@ap and find the pearls. ------------------
