  1. Topic: ADHD cure?

    I saw a TV info-commerical today. The fellow is selling a book entitled:
    "Natural Cures: What They Don't Want You To Know" for $30 USD. He has
    also established a web site: www.naturalcures.com as a private
    subscription arrangement for $10 USD per month.

    He stated during the TV info-commerical that there is a "cure" for ADHD.
    And because the www.naturalcures.com web site functions on a private
    subscription basis, he can use the "cure" word without any hassle from a
    government agency. And stated many health problems result from a food
    allergy problem or lack of nutritional supplements.

    Does that mean the disclaimer for the book is a lie?

    [Note: this book does not contain any specific cures for any specific
    diseases. It is not a substitute for any medication you may be taking or
    medical advice given to you by your doctor. Information contained in the
    book is general in nature and speaks more in terms of the regulation present
    in the health industry and living an overall healthy lifestyle. Therefore,

    helpful for your specific situation. We do not verify the quality and

    contained in these types of products. This book is to be accepted and used
    for informational purposes only. By purchasing the book, you are
    acknowledging that you are aware and acknowledge these facts.]

    In the case of ADHD, at least, the disclaimer is true. The book does not
    describe a natural cure for ADHD. Nor does it refer the reader to a source
    for such a cure. In fact it offers no help for ADHD at all. Yes, the book's
    author, Kevin Trudeau does state in the infomercial that "Natural remedies
    are curing people of cancer, curing people of diabetes, curing people of
    depression, curing kids of Attention Deficit Disorder within days", but
    neither the infomercial nor his book offer any evidence whatsoever that any
    part of that statement is other than pure [censored]. And note that Trudeau
    can produce more [censored] than a herd of bulls. He has been prosecuted for
    his infomercial lies, selling a raft of bogus products (remember coral
    calcium?) and is now prohibited from promoting any products other than
    publications.

    They have the power to stop his bilking of millions of dollars from victims
    of his fraudulent infomercials. He can say anything he wants in his private
    subscription area, but even there he runs the risk of further prosecution if
    he uses it to sell worthless health products.

    UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

    Rich is telling you how it is all a lie, and then he gives you the biggest
    lying website of all!!!!!

    http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/articles/p182.htm#quack

    Here is the photo of the man behind the web site
    http://www.quackwatch.com/index.html. He often attacks various health
    products and practices by making false claims about them, as if those claims
    came FROM them, and then knocks down these straw men of his own device.
    One of the most evil people on the web is a former psychiatrist who lashes
    out against just about every possible alternative health product or
    practice. It is, in fact, a hall of fame. If you are mentioned in his
    pages you can assume you are doing a good job!

    Topic: ADHD cure?

    George,

    Save your money on these comeon ads promising magic cures. While there
    is no cure yet for ADHD, the most promising development yet, published
    in Dec., 2004, can be viewed for free at:

    http://archpedi.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/158/12/1113

    Basically, ferritin levels in ADHD children average 23 vs. 44 in
    non-ADHD children. The lower the ferritin level, the more severe the
    ADHD symptoms. Low ferritin is an indication of low iron levels, and
    iron is essential in making dopamine. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter
    that is increased by taking ritalin. So now everything makes sense,
    including why ritalin is so effective. However, this also suggests that
    any child that benefits from ritalin will benefit even more by
    increasing iron consumption instead until their ferritin level is raised
    to the normal average.

    Ed Friedman

  14. You don't need a cure if you don't stress your body in the first place.
    The biggest problem in "advanced, Western nations" in the oxidative
    stress from dietary sources, mostly highly unsaturated oils used in
    cooking and processed foods. With basic nutrition and the avoidance of
    the highly unsaturated fatty acids, as well as oxidized cholesterol
    (which comes from powdered dairy and eggs, used a lot in baked and
    processed foods, as well as meats cooked while exposed to air and/or
    with highly unsaturated oils), you can save the $30 and not worry about
    this any more. You should try to eat foods high in antioxidants, such
    as berries, dark chocolate, and white tea too, but without the main
    sources of oxidative stress in your diet, you don't have to eat huge
    amounts of these foods if you don't like them.

    That is interesting and is a study that I missed.

    For myself, I don't need to subscribe to the website. I've done my own
    rather extensive research that has led me to similar conclusions as
    this fellow. My only interest would be in the possibility of confirming
    most of what I know or to possibly find some nugget of new or
    interesting info or to simply make comparisons between my research
    results and his. At this point, this would fall under a matter of
    curiosity for myself rather than any basic research need.

    It may be worth it for someone just starting to sort the wheat from the
    chaff (pun intended) in the areas of nutritional and general health
    sciences. It may well be worth it, at least as a starting point for
    ones personal research on the various topics. Or it may be worth it to
    see his take on topics that my research hasn't touched on yet.

    It may be worth it to get a one-month access to his stuff to see if it
    is actualy worth it.

    advice, and can provide you with important information that is not
    available from the mainstream medical establishement.

    I am not agreeing with everything he says, but a lot of what he says is
    close to what I've found in my own personal research over the last 5 or
    6 years. He tends to be in agreement with the concepts of
    Orthomolecular Medicine, which I fully agree with.

    If you think Kevin Trudeau is credible, then, please allow me to offer
    for sale this bridge that begins in Manhattan and ends in Brooklyn.

    For myself, I don't need to subscribe to the website. I've done my own
    rather extensive research that has led me to similar conclusions as
    this fellow. My only interest would be in the possibility of confirming
    most of what I know or to possibly find some nugget of new or
    interesting info or to simply make comparisons between my research
    results and his. At this point, this would fall under a matter of
    curiosity for myself rather than any basic research need.

    Ditto from me. His $30 book just re-confirmed for me that my
    knowledge about proper diet style and diet choices were correct.

    It may be worth it for someone just starting to sort the wheat from the
    chaff (pun intended) in the areas of nutritional and general health
    sciences. It may well be worth it, at least as a starting point for
    ones personal research on the various topics. Or it may be worth it to
    see his take on topics that my research hasn't touched on yet.

    Of course, there are other good health web sites like www.lef.org
    ..

    It may be worth it to get a one-month access to his stuff to see if it
    is actualy worth it.

    Yes to see how complete his natural cures info is.
