Cures they don't want you to hear about.

This guy is a complete nut job. Check out the Bad Medicine article over at Live Science about Kevin Trudeau.

Ok... so maybe I do like it when the FDA gets involved in order to shut people like this up.

Kevin Trudeau wants to save your life, and the Nazis at the FDA and FTC will stop at nothing to bring him down. They have made it clear to him that their intent is to imprison him, confiscate his latest book, and burn it.

So begins Trudeau's self-published "More Natural Cures Revealed," a fascinating cross between a health book, fictitious novel, and a paranoid, hate-filled rant along the lines of "Mein Kampf."

Normally I wouldn't highlight such lunacy for risk of advertising it. And at first glance, one would think that this book could only attract a fringe audience, like those websites advocating to drink your own urine. But "More Natural Cures" is a follow-up to the self-published "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You To Know About," which sold several million copies and reached the New York Times best-seller list.
