Kevin Trudea is always selling some "cure".
He promoted the coral calcium & the natural cures programs a while back & flooded the health food stores with people with unrealistic expectations. He has been sued repeatedly & still finds new things to promote. He has even been banned on selling products, but since he says its free speech he continues to sell books.
Be wary of anything that guy offers. It may actually be ok, but I would be skeptical.
[I]FTC has reviewed infomercials
Trudeau is no stranger to the courtroom. He's a convicted felon. In 1991 he pled guilty to credit card fraud — and has a long past of legal run-ins with federal regulators. In fact, he's barred from selling products on television now, as part of a 2004 settlement with the Federal Trade Commission over allegations involving misleading statements surrounding health care products. Trudeau admitted no wrongdoing but agreed to stop selling health care products.
But the agreement doesn't prevent him from selling books.
In Trudeau's complaint against the New York Consumer Board, his lawyers say that both the book and the infomercials have been "reviewed" by the Federal Trade Commission for compliance with the 2004 settlement terms.
"(The FTC) has not objected to the dissemination of either the book or the infomercials," the complaint says.
FTC attorney Heather Hippsley said the agency reviewed the book and early versions of the infomercials hawking the book and found them in compliance with the settlement. But she said Trudeau has multiple versions of the ad, and the agency has not reviewed them all.
Bradford maintained that all five versions of the infomercial have been sent to the FTC.
Meanwhile, Trudeau has sued the FTC, alleging that the agency defamed him when it issued a press release that he says incorrectly characterized his 2004 settlement with the agency.
Hippsley said she couldn't comment on the book, other than to say the agency was "monitoring" to make sure Trudeau complied with the settlement.
Despite Trudeau's history of run-ins with the agency, she said it could not ban him from producing infomercials for his book.
"To ban advertising for fully protected speech would be quite extraordinary and not something you'd want your government to be doing," she said.
Still, Delois Scurry, a 48-year-old Rochester, N.Y.-area resident, said she wished someone had banned the ad before she saw it. Scurry suffers from high blood pressure and diabetes, so she ordered the book a few months ago hoping it contained information that would help reduce her reliance on blood pressure medication.
"There was nothing in it that he had talked about from the infomercial. He said there were cures. There was nothing like that in there ... it was just money down the drain," she said. "It is a big rip-off for him to go on national TV and come out and say there's a cure for cancer." [/I]
