I can't remember where I heard the used car salesmen, but I can spot a sheister a mile away. Plus I don't trust anyone named Trudeau. And I just looked up his name on the internet, looks like his infomercials have been banned in the US, they still air in Canada though.

That press release was from last year and I just saw his informercial about 2 months ago. His book is basically bashing the FDA, the FTC, and the pharmecutical companies, and he says they are doing all they can to discredit him. Apparently he has made millions and has insider knowledge and secret research (he say it'll soon be public) about all the things he talks about.

Here's his websites talking about it.

From what I read, he seems legit and some of the stuff he talks about makes sense, but on a large scale like he emphisizes seems a little farfetched. But I figured I'd give some of the stuff he recommends a try. Hopefully it'll work. If it doesn't, I'm only out $40.

Man any book marketed towards fat people claiming to hold "secrets" about weight loss is bound to contain a lot of bullshit. It's all about sensationalism, and the number of sales that occur.

Low Key:
The book isn't about weight loss though. For the first 5 chapters he talk about how the FTC, the FDA, and the drug companies don't want to cure any disease. They just want to mask the symptom with a patentable drug because natural cures can't be patented. Then finally on chapter 6, he outlines how to live life more healthy by detoxifying your body from the pesticides and the hormones farmers put in their crops and livestock. Then on chapter 10 or somewhere along those lines, he vaugly tells you how to get rid of ADHD/ADD, anxiety, diabeties, and MS. He goes into the weight loss thing a little bit, but the book is mainly about living healty. For example, he said something about some marathon runner who was in great physical condition but dropped dead of a heart attack because he was unhealthy. But you can be healthy and still be slightly overweight.

Don't think I'm being fanatical about this though. I'm typing this while smoking a cigarette and I just ate 4 slices of bacon.
