Kevin Mark Trudeau born February 6, 1963, is an American author, salesman, self-proclaimed alternative medicine advocate, convicted felon and unsuccessful defendant in several Federal Trade Commission lawsuits. Kevin is known for a number of infomercials promoting his several books, including: Natural Cures “They Don’t Want You to Know About”, Debt Cures “They Don’t Want You to Know About”, and Free Money “They Don’t Want You to Know About.
Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You to Know About
In the book, Trudeau claims that there are natural cures for all types of serious illnesses, including cancer, herpes, arthritis, aids. Acid reflux disease, various phobias, obesity, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and a few others. He states that these cures are being deliberately hidden from the public eye by the federal trade commission and the food and drug administration, because the government cannot regulate and control “all natural” cures.
In 2005 the New York consumer protection board issued a warning that the book does not contain cures for the diseases that Trudeau is promising. They also stated that he isn’t only misrepresenting the content but also using false endorsements to encourage consumers to buy the book.
Debt Cures “They” Don’t Want You to Know About
Debt Cures was published in 2007 and has been marketed on late night television. Chuck Jaffee a columnist at CBS Market watch reviewed the book and stated “truth be told” most of the information contained in the book is already available in personal finance columns you can find online, or in books that are available in your local library.
Free Money “They” Don’t Want You to Know About
Free Money is another book that is currently being aired on late night infomercials. In the book Trudeau talks about different methods and websites out there, where you can go fill out a form and claim money from the government that is already waiting for you. He also states that these methods are available to those who have ever paid a mortgage, car insurance, home insurance and a few others.
Conclusion
I do believe Mr. Trudeau means well in the information provided in his books, but the fact that he has used “False Endorsements” and is selling the consumers “Contact Information” to other marketers gives the author a bad name and repore with his current customers.
