  1. There's this guy on cable touting this natural cure book. I'm sure most of
    you have seen him. What about this "cure" for diabetes that comes from some
    Asian Herbs?

    The "cure" for type I diabetes is a pancreas transplant.
    The "cure" for type II diabetes (the most common) is a low carb diet...

  3. I took a look at his book at Costco. Under Diabetes it says that the FDA
    forbids him to publish that info. I think I'll save my money!!!!!

  4. Not to pimp an ad, but this popped up next to this thread on Google:
    "Herbal Diabetes Cure?
    It's True! Proven in Clinical Study
    99% Type 2 and 64% Type I Success
    www.diabeticine.com"

    If the FDA forbids the guy from publishing, why don't they forbid this
    site from being in the US web heirarchy.

    On a side note: The guy you are talking about also claims that
    sunscreen causes cancer, not the sun. He makes some weird claims around
    dark skinned people, to prove his point that melanin doesn't have
    anything to do with skin cancer. FDA may be slow, but I'll stick with
    slow and steady before I start basting myself in butter to go outside.

  5. By living in Ketosis, I cut my HbA1c from 10.0 to 5.2.

    Low Carb, with lots of dietary fat.

    Kevin Trudeau is not a doctor, nutritionist or in any other kind of medical
    field; he's a marketing expert. His forté is make money and he's merely
    exploiting the current trend of interest in nutitional solutions for health
    problems. Don't place much stock in a book written purely to make money by
    someone who has no expert knowledge of the field. It's a shame that to make
    a quick buck he can give false hopes to desperate people with his come-ons
    such as a miracle herb cure for diabetes. He ought to be strung up by his
    gonads.

    It kind of reminds me of a disturbing current trend popular among certain
    televangelists -- like Pat Robertson -- to sell their own brand of
    nutritional products like shakes and vitamins and promote them on their tv
    shows. In their case it's even worse, because they're tricking gullible
    people into believing that their products are God's cure for their health
    problems -- in order to make money. It's the old PT Barnum axiom at work
    .... there's a sucker born every minute. . So there will always be people
    waiting to line the pockets of the snake oil salesmen.

    I think birth rates have increased since Barnum's time, so it's
    probably a sucker born every 45 seconds or so. Maybe even faster, with
    better globalization than Barnum's time expanding the reach of he who
    would ply the trade of those emptors without caveat. I suspect there
    were few nigerian billionaires willing to split their fortune with you
    if only you'll give all of your information back in the late 1800's.

    -Hollywood, who sees the temptation of plying suckers for a living, but
    sadly, has a conscience.

    He's also against pasteurization for raw milk. Just brouse through that book
    and you'll see that Kevin Trudeau is nothing but a dangerous quack.
