Book Description
By the #1 New York Times bestselling author Kevin Trudeau comes the last diet you will ever need. Imagine, you will lose at least 30 pounds in 30 days...with no hunger...no exercise...and no surgery!
An absolute cure for obesity was discovered almost fifty years ago by a British medical doctor. Tens of thousands of people used this simple, inexpensive, safe medical treatment and achieved miraculous, fast, and permanent weight loss. Stubborn area fat deposits melted away. Body reshaping of the hips, thighs, buttocks, and waist was so dramatic it appeared as if the patients received liposuction! Amazingly, this medical breakthrough has been debunked, discredited, and suppressed by the American Medical Association, the Food and Drug Administration, and other medical establishments throughout the world. Now, for the first time in fifty years, this revolutionary breakthrough discovery, which permanently cures the condition of obesity, is being released to the public.
The main problems that overweight people deal with are massive, intense, constant physical hunger; food cravings and uncontrollable urges to eat when not hungry; low metabolism; and an abnormally high amount of fat stored in stubborn secure problem areas such as the hips, thighs, buttocks, and waist. This "weight loss cure protocol" has been proven to be virtually 100% successful in correcting these conditions, thus curing the individual of obesity for life! Read the fascinating true story of how this discovery was made and, more importantly, how this miracle weight loss breakthrough has been hidden from the public so that drug companies can make billions of dollars selling their expensive drug treatments and surgical procedures for obesity. You'll be amazed to read how the food manufacturers actually have a financial incentive to make you fat! This is the book that answers all the questions about why people today are continually getting fatter and fatter. The good news is this book gives you the cure that can solve your overweight condition once and for all.

The Weight Loss Cure They Don't Want You to Know About.......2007-10-11
I had seen Kevin Trudeau on television discussing this book. It sounded great, resetting your hypothalmus thereby raising your metabolism. The implication was clear: you could do this easily, with teas and supplements readily available. That is SO untrue. First, you must get at least 15 colonics, eat only organic foods, no restaurant foods, no fast foods, get off ALL medications (prescription too), no sugar or sugar substitutes, only "reverse osmosis water", multiple cleanses (colon, liver & gallbladder, and candidas), AND take daily injections of human chorionic gonaditropin (hcg)! Who could follow this book? Not me!!!
better have some bucks.......2007-10-11
while following the so called protacol might indeed result in weight loss, not many can afford it. to do this while working a forty hour week or more is next to impossible if you are to follow it exactly which it states many times is critical. this program will run easily into the thousands of dollars if done properly, basically a weight loss plan for the non working rich. to bad he doesnt mention any of this in his tv ads.
The Weight Loss Cure They Don't Want You To Know.......2007-10-11
I think the information is good but he kept repeating the same information over and over again. The book should be half the number of pages and the reader would get the same information. I'm going to try the diet plan and see if it works.
NOT HAPPY.......2007-10-10
I was so interested until I found out that you can not legally get all the products to help you lose the weight....waste of money for me.
The Weight Loss Cure They Don't Want You to Know About .......2007-10-10
When I got the health products recommended in this book I was sure this was going to be just another fad method of weight loss. But since I started this a month ago and I'm not doing everything down to the tee from this book I have gone down two pant sizes. I'm a 51 year old woman going through menopause and weight loss is not easy, I tried the low carb, the low sugar diets and this is by far the best easiest thing I have ever done. I use to crave and think about food especially after dinner but the cravings are gone. I eat now when I'm hungry and I don't always eat right. I try to have a salad every day for greens and my exercise is walking the dogs and I drink more water than I use to but I think the biggest change is I quit the diet sodas and if I want a soda I drink regular pepsi or coke. He is right staying away from Splenda, Equal and Sweet N Low. Even if nothing more happens I have lost the two pant sizes and feel much better. If you have the 500.00 to start this process with the purchases of all the pills and teas which I don't take all the pills they say per day so I can stretch them out to last longer, it is well worth it because the next 500.00 is going towards your new clothing.
Book Description
Kevin Trudeau blows the lid off a nest of deception and double standards concerning general and individual health in this new book, "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You To Know About." Kevin has risked government prosecution to bring you the full story of an intricate conspiracy.
From the retail supermarket outlets of huge, publicly traded corporations comes processed, manipulated, engineered "food products" - produced by other wings of the same corporation. These artificial, toxic treats are then sold with the blessings of the Federal Trade Commission and Food and Drug Administration - government organizations charged with safeguarding the public good - laying the foundations for future disease and chronic ill-health for the consumer, and a guaranteed source of revenue for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors.
Kevin reveals the shocking truth of how drugs - which are being advertised directly to the consumer, pushing their use to an all-time high - are actually the
cause of illness and disease climbing to near epidemic levels.
And, though it sounds dire, Kevin offers a light in the darkness and directs the reader to scores and scores of alternative therapies, medical practices, philosophies and - most importantly - potential cures that help your body regain its natural state of health and vibrancy.
So follow Kevin on an amazing journey through the behind-the-scenes world of corporate sponsored "nutrition" and "health," and learn about "Natural Cures 'THEY' Don't Want You To Know About."

a new perspective.......2007-10-09
I personally found this book to be very helpful. It outlines some basic health rules that we need to keep in mind, which we sometimes overlook. It also is a really eye opener to the current realities of life. The bad thing about this book is its a bit too repetitive and it does not give you specifics about the cures,which should of been discussed more in detail,but i give it 4 stars since it has really good facts & overall i liked it.
...I have a bridge to sell you..........2007-10-03
Way too much marketing and hype with this book when there are good legitimate books by actual biologist that are very down to earth and simple to read for a proactive reader....as Cure the Incurable by Mikhail Tomak
Worth the Money.......2007-09-29
This book is very enligthening. Yes, people do live longer today but at what cost. Degenerative diseases are at an all time high. All drugs have side effects and they don't "cure" anything. If they cured ailments why do we have to keep taking them? All drugs do is supress the symptoms and never get to the root cause of the problem. All traditional doctors do is write prescriptions and cut out body parts. A lot of Kevin's ideas can be found in other sources. There is a lot of truth to what he is saying. It is all about the money. If everyone was healthy and used natural remedies the healthcare industry would suffer greatly. Read the food labels and tell me if you know what half that crap is. Why does food need all the additives and preservaties? It doesn't - it's put in there because it's cheaper and makes the food taste good. I have been buying organic food and using natural body products. It does make a difference. It may cost more but can you really put a price on your health. I know people who go broke trying to buy all their prescriptions each month. It's common sense the more natural the better for your body. I will visit my doctor if I feel I need to but I will definitely implement as many of Kevin's ideas that I find pratical and can afford. I can't do everything in his book but I can do some of the things. The book is worth the money so please read it. People are so judgemental. So what if he is a convicted felon? He tells you this in his book. He was greedy which puts him in a better position to recognize greed. $9.95 a month to subscribe to his website is not a whole lot of money per month if you feel it's worth it. We all spend money on things that we feel are important to us. Another consumer advocate that I like is Mike Adams (The Health Ranger). You can subscribe to his newsletter for free at www.newstarget.com. He has free downloads but there is a cost for some of his books. It's not free to publish a book. Take care and good health.
Can I Have My Money Back?.......2007-09-23
By far, the worst waste of money I have made. Most of these "natural cures" anyone with any common sense already knows. I regret contributing to this scam.
Some fantastic advice.......2007-09-22
I approached the best selling "Natural Cures 'they' don't want you to know about" with a healthy dose of scepticism. After all, should we really take advice on healthy eating from a convicted fraudster? But I've concluded that Kevin Trudeau is the ideal person to write about the total scam that is the pharmaceutical industry and its packaged food counterpart.
"Natural Cures......" is basically a tirade against the culture of drugs and packaged foods that have taken over the modern world. Trudeau explains how this culture of drugs and snack foods (and some other products) is undoubtedly responsible for making us sick in many ways. He goes on to offer ways to reduce toxins in the body and cure or prevent many diseases.
A lot of what Trudeau teaches us is nothing new for most of us (snack foods have numerous chemicals, GM food loses much of its nutrition, etc.) but he goes to great lengths to make us realise just how serious the problem has become, just how extensive the lobbying and coercion of politicians can be and just how misleading drug or food advertising has become. So many lies and scams are exposed in this publication that there will be at least one revelation for everybody.
After making all this clear, Trudeau goes on to offer tips and ideas - many of them beautifully simple - on leading a healthier lifestyle to clear the body of toxins and "never get sick again".
A lot of the advice is superbly simple yet often something we would never think of (Buy organic fruits and make a fruit shake every day, don't buy any product with ingredients you can't pronounce, etc.) and very passionate. Trudeau clearly practises what he preaches and has very extensive knowledge of the industries he discusses.
It's true that some of the author's ideas make him his own worse enemy. Statements such as "Animals never get sick" and "Wearing a magnetic ring will help you eliminate chaos" simply invite his many critics to knock him. But there are so many articulate, practical and genuinely heartfelt arguments and suggestions in this book, I get the impression many critics have based their reviews on their dislike for the writer.
This book did what "Super Size Me" and "Fast Food Nation" failed to do. It made me realise the dangers of my diet (as the aforementioned works also did) but it also gave me the inspiration and impetus to actually make a positive change. I've done two juice fasts and a water fast since I got this book two months ago. I've taken up many of Trudeau's ideas and I feel far better for it.
Highly recommended, if only to see what the fuss over this NY Times bestseller is all about.
A few points to clear up:
1) This is NOT a scam. There is excellent, verifiable, common sense and easy to follow advice in this book. All the two line "It's a scam" reviews are clearly fakes from people who never read the book.
2) Trudeau DOES NOT recommend Scientology. He makes reference to one author involved in Scientology. That is all.
3) For all the 'smart Alec' people who say "Save money don't buy this book and just lives healthy". What is healthy? Many of us would think of drinking milk, eating @low fat@ foods and taking medicine when we are sick. That's the way we think , and Trudeau gives a balanced argument as to why this is wrong.
Customer Reviews:
Where are the Results?.......2007-10-11
I was watching Kevin Trudeau on tv, he's giving away his books for free. I noticed reading all the positive reviews about this book of his, and I have yet to see one review that says his theory actually works. Did it really take the pain away? Most people are focusing in on his anti-government agency stance which he accused the drug companies of selling drugs for profit. Yea, that is capitalism. Kevin isn't exactly poor himself either, you can't own your own publishing company, and publish your own books if your not making huge profits. While it's true the health care industry is broken, in need for great reform, but unlike his theories on cures the drug industry has to go though years of testing first before it gets on the market and even after that it still is continually tested. If a drug company just pushes through a defective product it gets recalled and the company looses billions of dollars, so they do have an incentive of providing quality products. Again, I ask when you just look at simple reviews of average people who actually bought this book and there is no mention of success in using his theories, it makes ya wonder. And another thing, why would people sell his book for practically nothing, if this is a gold mine for cures that work, and certainly many have bought his books, it should be in high demand causing the price to go up. You see that with any book. This indicates as well, his theories are not all what they are cracked up to be. I did buy his first book, and I'll be testing it, and I will give a review on the results. But my first impression so far is very skeptical.
Con-artist, sleaze bag.......2007-09-27
This convict has been preying on ignorant people for years. Talk to your doctor, your local health store, ANYBODY - but don't waste your time with this snake oil salesman.
Kevin Trudeau Natural Cures Book review.......2007-09-16
I actually had purchased this book for my husband, thinking he would like it. I opened it up, and could not put it down. Since that time I ordered all of his books reading them with new awareness. This book was incredible, and I believe it to be true. We have completely changed our lifestyles since my husband and I read this book. My daughter was cured from "acid reflux" in 3 days. My son's excema is gone in less than 3 weeks from only eating organic food. This book was not only a great read, it has changed our lives.
Do your homework b4 you buy.......2007-09-15
I was going to by this book through the info commercials that he has as it advertised free shipping. So I called the number.
As usual, with the free shipping they had add ons for additional books, which is understandable
But, when I told her all I wanted was the book and the free shipping, she told me that it would take 4 to 6 weeks to receive my book unless I paid extra for the express delivery fee. I explained to her that, in this time and age to receive something after 4-6 weeks have gone by is just a rip off and I cancelled the order
After doing a bit of homework after that situation I saw a recommendation for Mikhail Tombak books and I bought them and they are great reading for someone that is proactive in their health care......and he is an actual biologist
Great Information!.......2007-09-11
I've been reading and learning about natural health and nutrition for years and I agree with everything that Kevin Trudeau talks about in his books because it is analogous to everything I've already learned in the past. This isn't new information but it's like a complete compilation of all the other books that I own and more. Trudeau suggests reading his first Natural Cures book before reading this one and I agree because his first book is like an introduction to his second book. Even though the first few chapters about the government, FDA, FTC, etc. can be tedious, I believe it is a crucial part of the book because it shows how much corruption is out there in government agencies and big corporations. They aren't concerned about the health of this nation, they are just there to make money. If you don't believe that, look around... the evidence is everywhere. Some people who gave this book bad reviews look as if they've never even read the book. The saying is true, "Don't judge a book by its cover."
PS: If you think his list of suggestions on how to never get sick (chapter 13) is impossible to follow, just do what you can do and gradually add other items into your list of good health habits. You'll be glad you did!

Mastering Leptin.......2007-10-10
I enjoyed this book and found it to be very informative and helpful with problems that I and other family members have been having. Would recemmend this book to people who are trying to loose weight and have tried every diet or not to read this book.
lots of science.......2007-07-22
The science in this book is very technical but fascinating if you like that kind of stuff. (I do) All the research is footnoted to many many new studies. The exact mechanisms of your hormones and relationship to food/fuel are disected at length. Who knew fat cells have their own voice in metabolism? A powerful voice? The diet itself is straight from the 1950s. No snacking! No large meals! no eating after dinner! less carbs, more veggies & no desserts! You must exercise! This advise is not rocket science here. This said, I have followed the diet for two weeks after losing 20 lbs on Atkins then South Beach. I was at a plateau for 5 weeks. I have lost 3.5 more pounds on this diet and my skin looks wonderful. Dieting is very hard on my complexion, I get grey, troubled skin and dark eye circles along with a smaller size. I have 7-10 pounds to go, so I am not obese or unhealthy as the examples in the book often are. Mr.Richards gets a bit preachy and heavy handed at times. He seems to assume we are all fat stupid processed junk-food eating machines with a cola addiction and no exercise at all. I think this is a sound lifestyle diet but you will not be able to do it 100% if you have a social life. The rigid 3 meals only, spaced exactly 6-7 hours apart is easily derailed. (Friday happy hour?, Good friend has baked a specialty when you drop by to return a book at 3 PM? Valued employee offers you special homemade native Honduran health drink of rice, nuts & cinamon at 10:30 AM?) Still, over all I feel great and am doing the plan about 80% of the time. I hope the science of letting the liver, pancreas, and other organs "rest" between meals is as good as "6 small meals every 3 hours to keep the metabolism stoked" was for the last 10 years. If you like trying new diets, try this one. It does work. The added health benefits to persons with problems I don't share may be the deciding factor. Mr. Richards does promote his own pricey suppliment line heavily in the book. I might try it, but a 20 day supply is $113. This is a couple grand a year!
Way too much info.......2007-06-30
I read. A lot. I love all books, especially health related books and this one made sense of everything I do, why I do it, and my habits. Its like the book was written about me.
the down side, the info was too over whelming. It was all worth reading, so I forged on, but I had a head ache by the time I was done. the info in this book is, to me anyway, very important for it reflexed so much of me, but I really wish is was easier to read. I know he came out with a second book, but I'm afraid to buy it. I'm hoping its a easier to understand version.
What everyone should know about Leptin!.......2007-06-05
This the first book that I have read from cover to cover in years. Maybe its because I am interested in decreasing the effects of Type 2 diabetes that run rampant in my family. I am third gereration diabetic. It showed me that there are more people with this type of disorder. ie (leptin resistance/insulin resistance). My wife has high blood pressure and fibermyaliga. It is leptin resistance/insulin resistance. Only her blood sugar is never high. She can not understand why she can not loose weight. I know why, she doesnt eat breakfast, loves carbs i.e. potatos, bread, noodles, etc.
Good book.......2007-05-15
I am always surprised by how little was known about the human body before about 1990. Leptin is one of the basic hormones of the body but was only discovered in 1993. This book is fascinating reading. Compared to other books that feature leptin such as Scott Isaacs, MD, The "Leptin Boost Diet", or the popular "You on a Diet", it is more practical and less theoretical. It also offers somewhat different advice than the above books. I think the book has some good suggestions that really help you loose fat. I have lost about 15 pounds without loosing muscle tone or strength. I recommend this book. I would also recommend either "You on a Diet" and/or "The Leptin Boost Diet".
Book Description
Cancer can now be cured, not just treated
We are not accustomed to thinking about a cure for cancer. We think of remission as the only possibility. But this book is not about remission. It is about a cure. This is possible because in 1990 Dr. Clark discovered the true cause of cancer. The cause is a certain parasite, for which I have found evidence in every cancer case regardless of the type of cancer. So lung cancer is not caused by smoking, colon cancer is not caused by a low roughage diet, breast cancer is not caused by a fatty diet, retinal blastoma is not caused b y a rare gene, and pancreatic cancer is not caused by alcohol consumption. Although these are all contributing factors, they are not THE cause. Once the true cause was found the cure became obvious. but would it work? I set a goal of 100 cases to be cured of cancer before publishing my findings. That mark was passed in December, 1992. the discovery of the cause and cure of all cancers has stood the test of time and here it is!

Perhaps good for some.......2007-09-10
I tend to be very leery of books that promise any sort of "cure" or give false hopes. Although I had mixed emotions on this book, I do see how it can perhaps give hope to the most discouraged of cancer patients.
I don't think I'd recommend it to any of my cancer patients in general, but I do think that those of us in the medical profession might be able to pick out a few interesting parts and maybe recommend it to those few patients that are realistic but perhaps need a bit of encouragement with their diagonsis.
It was a quick read, though I tended to skip sections that bored me.
ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE FOR CANCER.......2007-08-10
VERY INTERESTING AND DETAILED LOOK AT CANCER - PARASITE AND TOXIN ARE CAUSES. ALSO MANY SIDE ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FOR CONTINUED HEALTH AND I'M NOT FINISHED READING IT YET!
Give me a scientist's opinion anyday!.......2007-07-29
This book offers some very credible insights and a viable cancer treatment protocol. I have heard nothing but positive feedback, so far, from people who have tried this program, though the regimen is extreme (perhaps necessarily and certainly worth the effort) and there is some dispute as to the diet - she may allow too much carbohydrate/sugar. But I agree 100% with the rest of her protocol to fight fungus, heavy metals, etc. We live in a very toxic environment and will be lucky to live ¾ the lifespan of our parent, unless we learn ways of detoxing our bodies and changing our environment.
After over 20 years of medical research, one thing I have learned is that if you want to understand the processes leading to a particular medical condition, ask a scientist. Ask your doctor and you're likely to get a blank stare or a simplified (nonscientific and often illogical) explanation which will usually vary greatly from one doctor to the next. Simply put, doctors are NOT scientists and most certainly not nutritionists. (Would you trust a mechanic who didn't know what to put into your car's engine)?
I have left a doctor's office, on many occasion with my mouth agape. Their training comes directly from the pharmaceutical industry and it is sadly apparent to those who have their eyes open that if they don't have a drug for it or a surgery, you're doomed. If they DO have a drug for it, you are even more likely to be doomed, because you'll need a dozen other drugs to offset the effects of the first one. Don't forget that the #2 cause of death in this country is death by doctor, hospital or (legal) drug complications and that legal drugs are responsible for 40 times the number of deaths as illegal drugs, yet the allopathic community screams loudly about the dangers of alternative treatments though death at the hands of an alternative doctor wouldn't even begin to touch the number of deaths from Vioxx prescriptions alone (Vioxx killed my mother)!
Why do you think medical schools have a personality/psychological test for admission? They are looking for a certain type. Doctors, for the most part, tend to be good students, obedient and often without exceptional intelligence or creativity (there is indeed a vast difference between intelligence and good study habits, whereas the rare maverick doctor and great scientists tend to be the opposite - Einstein flunked kindergarten, was brilliant, creative and independent). It would astound most people if they were to be made aware of the inflated egos and insatiable ambition in the medical community - I have been appalled by the back-biting and outright plagiarism rife in their world. Many would rather sacrifice the lives of thousands than concede that their theories or failed methodologies have been incorrect all along and most of the rest are too afraid of losing their credibility via the powers that be (the AMA, FDA and other arms of the pharmaceutical cartel) and are intimidated not to speak up or try anything unconventional - they have seen what happens to those who dare to do so.
Be careful of the "established truth"...it usually lacks credibility. Pasteur got laughed out of the medical community, the doctor who suggested that obstetricians should wash their hands before delivering babies got banned and it took penicillin 30 years to be accepted by mainstream medicine. Idiots have always ruled the profession, all the way back to the barber/doctors - in fact I think they were wiser than today's counterpart - bloodletting, after all, is less dangerous than oxycontin or liposuction.
Now we have bogus "experts" paid by the cartels to debunk any cure that threatens the monopoly of big medicine (and oncology is BIG MONEY - in fact among the BIGGEST money in medicine). A couple of people on here (including a doctor) cited "Quackwatch" in order to debunk Hulda Clark. Just to give a taste of the witch-hunt that is going on today and who's behind it, read the following quote by the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation actually debunking the credibility of the leader of Quackwatch, and you'll understand the forces we are up against, as we strive to filter out the truth.
"Dr. Stephen Barrett of Quackwatch Exposed In Court Cases
At trial, under a heated cross-examination by Negrete, Barrett conceded that he was not a Medical Board Certified psychiatrist because he had failed the certification exam.
This was a major revelation since Barrett had provided supposed expert testimony as a psychiatrist and had testified in numerous court cases. Barrett also had said that he was a legal expert even though he had no formal legal training.
The most damning testimony before the jury, under the intense cross-examination by Negrete, was that Barrett had filed similar defamation lawsuits against almost 40 people across the country within the past few years and had not won one single one at trial.
During the course of his examination, Barrett also had to concede his ties to the AMA, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Food & Drug Administration (FDA)."
My brother has been given 1 year to live and offered no hope of recovery from his rare stage IV cancer, by the allopathic community. But, in spite of their admitted inability to do ANYTHING other than drug for pain, the AMA, the drug cartel and their Gestapo (the FDA) have such a lock on the cancer cash cow, we have no alternative unless we find some doctor who is brave enough to help (in spite of the threat of losing their license - not because any of them have ever harmed anyone, but because they are cutting into chemo-profits. We speak in cryptic tones reminiscent of backstreet abortion days and it is very clear why Hulda Clark needed to move her treatments to Mexico, as have some Nobel Prize winners who have been persecuted by our FDA and their bosses (most of the cures I have heard of first hand have come out of Mexico, though the FDA is starting to put pressure on the Mexican government). Sadly those same mobsters are the prevalent bully in most countries because the pharmaceutical cartel is bigger than the oil cartel, worldwide. Follow the money.
Now, when I see that someone has been run out of the country or scoffed at by the "big boys," I take a second look at their treatments, because they are obviously successful enough to threaten someone's profit margin. God bless the rare doctors and scientists who are willing to stick their necks out and actually heal people, in spite of the ridicule and threats of persecution.
Amonia + Bleach = Cure for stupidity. .......2007-05-03
I have three words of inquirey: ARE YOU SERIOUS? This is the single most incredible, non-credible hoax I have ever read in my entire life. Anyone who reads this book and takes a single word to heart is spitting in the face of scientifically proven fact! Furthermore, they are putting power into the hands of an unqualified "Doctor," allowing her to continue with her ridiculous stipulations about parasites, electronic detectors, and teeth pulling. May the world's forces band together against this woman before she decides that the best course of action to cure the common cold includes drinking drain-o.

Very poor. Save your money..........2007-09-24
If you absolutely must take a look at this, as I felt compelled, check it out at the public library first. Very, very poor content. He offers simpleton solutions of his own that are absurd and he's simply not an authority on the topics he mentions, like how to handle spam.
This may be a rude awakening for the author, but sounds like he's into that so here goes:
if you're going to compile a book based upon interviewing others, step up to bat and offer their credentials and quotes and reference their works, not your website in every other paragraph, and your "thoughts." You are not the authority, and no one wants to read your `thoughts.' Package those in an essay book or other format, if you like, but you're putting too many eggs in one basket, and yours are rotten.
If you're going to knock everything and everyone under the sun for advertising their products, stop advertising yours in every paragraph, too. Otherwise shut up.
And if you hate the USA so much, we'll all be more than happy to see you go. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, or `gasp' I'm sure there'd be a book about it from you to let everyone know....sigh......along with all your self promotions in every paragraph. ...
Readers: note this is worth all negative stars, but Amazon does not have that option. Do not buy, is my advice. If you must check it out, do that with a library card and on the spot, because after even just two minutes of glancing through any topic and you'll place it back on the shelf. Pure garbage. There are no cures listed here, just pure junk and links to his cure website.
I wouldn't buy this trash with your money.......2007-09-17
Shameless pseudoscientific garbage from someone in trouble with the FTC. To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy, "You might be an idiot if you spend good money on this book." As someone with a Ph.D. in Plant Science, it saddens me that real trees were used to manufacture this thing. If you have a need to be paranoid about something, direct it towards the IRS, the new world order, or Roswell aliens. Save your money and your health and pass this one up. If ever there was a good argument for book burning this would be it. You have to give it one star or the system won't accept the review -too bad, it should get a minus 5 stars IMHO. By the way, I did indeed buy a copy of this book - after it was 30% off at a local book store - and I do get good use out of it. I wave it around in front of my Basic Biology class every Fall semester as an example of the very real dangers associated with poor science literacy.
NO GOOD for NOTHIN.......2007-09-07
I bought his book in hopes of finding ways to ward off bad genetics. When I got the book I was hoping to turn to the index, look for one the problems, turn to the page and BAM! read what I needed to do. NOPE!!!! There is no index. This book suffers from poor appeal to a reader. You open it and there are just paragraph upon paragraph of words. It is NOT appealing to read and for the average person who had no time to search for information, NOT EASY to find what you're looking for. WASTE OF TREES.
Not what I expected.......2007-08-25
This book was not what I expected. The suggestions for the "natural cures" seemed a bit far fetched. It seemed to me that that author was paranoid.
Nice door stopper.......2007-08-21
It's literally sitting on the table collecting dust. I read through the first three chapters and realized that this guy would use the most insignificant and insane thread of evidence to support his claim and rebuke the established institutions. And try those remedies he mentioned at your own risk.
Book Description
Would you like to save yourself the indignity, inconvenience and foul taste of modern diet fads? Are you sick and tired of frittering away your money on heart medications that leave you feeling more wretched than ever? Do you spend frequent, precious hours jogging or pounding away at the gym? And despite all of this effort, are you still fatter and weaker than you want to be?
Then it's time to abandon the Modern Gospel of low-fat food and long-duration exercise as a path to heart health. We need the very opposite, says Al Sears, M.D. in The Doctor's Heart Cure. According to Dr. Sears, heart disease continues to be America's biggest killer - and obesity has reached epidemic proportions - because of the fad for low-fat diets and despite aerobics.
Your heart's salvation lies in reengineering the diet and exercise habits of our hunter-gatherer ancestors to fit our modern culture. What does this entail? To build a strong and resilient heart, says Dr. Sears, engage in brief, explosive bouts of intense exercise. Consume a diet rich in high quality fat, pasture-fed meat, free-range dairy, wild-caught fish and liberal helpings of low-glycemic fruits and vegetables. Avoid grain-based starches as best you can. And take appropriate supplements to counteract the nutritional deficiencies of modern produce.
As Director of The Center for Health and Wellness, an integrative medicine and anti-aging clinic in south Florida, Dr. Sears has used this plan to help more than 15,000 patients successfully reverse heart disease, build stronger hearts, manage their weight and abandon their heart medications. In The Doctor's Heart Cure, for the first time, Dr. Sears reveals his entire, proven program, so you too can safely build an impregnable heart.

Compelling read.......2007-09-30
This book providers the information the reader needs to know.Backed up with footnotes.It definately has a possitive impact.
Very Interesting.......2007-06-21
This book talks about some of our more important concerns: our health, our food and our lives. I'm used to read and think about what I read, to compare it with other sources. Dr. Al Sears has made a great job by showing lots of researchs to add to the credibility of his words. I'm slowing modifying my habits, so that I can follow his advices.
PACE yourself.......2007-06-13
I found this book engrossing and what Dr. Sears has to say is very useful and practical. I am trying to use the PACE exercise program with some success although I am uncertain about the fat burning as I sleep. His food diet is just good sense and backed up by many health "authorities", so I think this book from cover to cover is a winner.
A Good Book for Beginners.......2007-05-13
I did not learn anything that I didn't already know from this book. I am, however, one who is involved with continuous nutritional tune-ups and physical fitness. The advice and techniques are similar to those that
body builders already use. As I said in my title, this is a good starter book.
Satisfied.......2007-05-06
The book was very informative. However, with all the health and diet books I have read, they all seem to be similiar in many of the subjects. I just have to siphen out the parts that I believe and try to apply them in my daily life. It was very well written but like all books, you cant agree with everything. I was satisfied but not overwelmed. Thanks.

Now Joy Bauer, a nutrition consultant to celebrities from actors to gold-medal winning athletes, explains exactly what to eat to lower high cholesterol and blood pressure, improve skin tone, sharpen memory, sleep better, and take charge of PMS, arthritis, and more. Each chapter focuses on one of the many conditions that drive people to seek Joy’s professional help and simulates a personal consultation.

great reference.......2007-09-28
This is a great reference book, I bought a few for gifts. There are many recipes if you need help using the ingredients you want to add to your diet.
Eat your veggies!.......2007-07-24
I didn't like it to much...I think I gave her to many stars am to nice......
the book was boring........too wide in the horizon...........she agreed with every one else on eat lots of fruits and vegetables and to scared to have her own opinion about supplements and medical treaments...every thing was everyone is right "flowes and rainbows it's all there is in this world".
Food for Thought.......2007-07-20
I understand why The View and Today show has picked Joy Bauer as their nutrition expert. The book is clear and concise with amazing advice for your basic ailments. She shows you how to alleviate some issues through change of diet and certain foods. Why would someone want to take a pill as their first choice? When this book can help you naturally change the way you feel through food.
Joy Bauer's Food Cures.......2007-07-19
I have to admit that when I agreed to review Food Cures I had an entirely different book in mind. To me, the title suggested a more holistic view of disease and nutrition. Therefore, I expected sections about what foods could help a person get more calcium in their diet, what foods contain B vitamins, and what foods might help relieve ulcers.
The author of food cures is a dietitian and nutrition expert for the Today Show. Her focus is to guide individuals towards an overall healthier lifestyle and nutritional plan. Thus, this book is primarily a diet book. Lose ten pounds while gaining great skin and nails.
To this end, the author does a very good job of laying out four step programs that lead the reader to a healthier lifestyle. In step two of these programs, there are idea lists of fruits, vegetables, seafood. lean protein, nuts, whole grains, and dairy products. Step four, then shows the reader how to create meal plans using these foods. To further help the reader, each section includes a variety of healthy recipes.
A "must have" book for everyone!!.......2007-07-07
Before buying Joy Bauer's book on "Food Cures", I was always tuning into the "Today Show" to hear her health advice. I finally ordered this book, and WOW!!
From front to back covers this book is jammed-packed advice on nearly everything a person would or should do for themselves and their families. This is a book that should be required reading for anyone learning about nutrition, health and well-being.
BUY IT, YOU WILL LOVE IT!!

Customer Reviews:
Guys!!!!! Don't shoot the messenger!!!!!.......2007-09-29
Dr. Brantley is one more courageous person who is willing to tell the truth about health maintenance and healing. These ideas are as old as time - our bodies' needs have never changed. What's changed is the quality of our planet's air, water, soil, food supply. Add to that sad state of affairs, the conditioning we've absorbed about how there's no relationship (or little) to how we are and what we ingest. It should surprise no one that advice for tackling a lethal disease might seem "radical". Truth is, so too is cancer radical. As are many other killer diseases that are MORE prevalent now than a century ago, in spite of all our techno advances and billions of dollars being funneled into research. With regard to the ages-old advice ("same 'ol")in this book on how and what to eat for health maintenance, there's nothing new here, that's true. Folks like Brantley bother to take the time to reiterate this "old" stuff for good reasons - in the hopes readers will HEED the wake up call. He offers knowledge that's tried and true for getting our lives and health back on track. And he explains the rhymes and reasons for doing what he suggests.
As for disclaimers.............No practitioner in his/her right mind would accept full responsibility for outcomes of their treatments because the outcome of a treatment of ANY kind is NOT predictable. Dr. Brantley addresses this right up front by stating that he wants the reader to know that not all of his clients survived or even rallied after following his protocol for their serious illnesses. He has less than no control as to what a reader actually DOES with the info in this book. Disclaimers are par. Do oncologists guarantee positive outcomes from traditional treatments? I advise anyone reading this to research mortality statistics for folks who choose chemo, radiation and surgery as their options. Then be mucho grateful that we have access to books like this one to enlighten us to options that have worked for others, even those who were given no hope by their doctors. We all need to wake up before we're faced with a crisis. True, the changes we'll be called to make aren't "convenient". To me, taking the viewpoint that they're too inconvenient or radical is really a sad testament to our society's empty status quo regarding all things sacred. What's more important than health? Dr. Brantley wants us to know that health is a byproduct of what we do. And if we serve our bodies well, we'll get to inhabit them as long as we need to.
Nothing new here -- also medical disclaimers abound........2007-09-23
I read this book because it's very popular with a few Hollywood types. I question the author's qualifications to urge such a radical diet and both the beginning and end of the book open with strong disclaimers from the author and publisher that they're not responsible for what happens to you if you follow the practices recommended in this book. That's troubling. Also, there are a number of people's stories shared in the book who were treated by the author who miraculously seemed to have beaten cancer due (in no small measure) to the author's regimen. This seems to be unlikely hyperbole to me and setting up false hope in many potential readers. I'll sum up this book for you in a sentence or two: Drink lots of water (author recommends specific bottled water over tap), eat lots of raw food, don't eat breads, pasta, white rice, junk food, fast food, etc. There you go. I just saved you the price of this book.
too good to be true.......2007-09-15
It is difficult to be as strict as the author wishes...but I have adopted most of his recommendations. This book is very entertaining and written in an interesting format...highly recommend this book it will change your life
Less processed foods good but..........2007-08-27
I think the basic concept of drinking more water and eating less processed foods is very valid and would help anyone live a healthier lifestyle but it would be great if the author had included more science to back up his findings. He wrote that it was too expensive to run a controlled test but does have a group of people agree to be tested after eating a raw diet, a "transition" diet and regular diet. But with the tests he uses (ph and kinesiology and one more I can't remember), I think few people would understand and be convinced by the results. I understand that he's very suspicious of medicine as practiced here in the US but blood tests are pretty common and most people would understand if he reported that after eating the raw diet he recommends, their blood pressure or cholesterol level dropped, etc.
Also, while I believe that less processed is better, I don't know of any culture, ancient or modern, that doesn't cook part or most of its daily diet. Eating only certain things together also seems odd to me, like no fruit after a meal of something else. Now, I'm no anthropologist but I'm guessing if a caveman found some berries after eating meat, he'd eat the berries. And that's about as close to eating straight from nature as one might imagine.
There were weird gaps in the info too, like where he mentions that you need to remineralize yourself after drinking alot of distilled or "structured" waters, which I've heard elsewhere, but then says you should do your own research on that and mentions his proprietary formula which he sells. Nothing about what you should look for in a mineral formula which to me indicates he really just wants you to buy his formula which I didn't care for.
Awesome! Finally someone puts in a book what we all should live by!.......2007-08-20
Wonderful book! I have based my practice as a nutritionial consultant on these same principals! It isn't hard to understand or follow like some other "cynics" claim! It makes total sense. OF course if you don't want to believe that our creator has put everything on this earth that we would need to survive and then we started destroying his works with our modern scientific processing. Then you would not agree with him. But on the other hand, if you were willing to actually understand what the book is saying about food and our body and what we were truly meant to consume and what should never have been consumed then this book is meant for you.

For most health books, the word cure in the title is a definite sign to steer clear. The Diet Cure is a refreshing exception. Author Julia Ross has the unusual job description of "nutritional psychologist," which means that she works with people to eradicate food cravings, addictions, and eating disorders (including overeating). The gist of The Diet Cure plan is that food allergies, hormonal irregularities, blood sugar swings, and thyroid dysfunction, among other factors, cause biochemical imbalances that lead to food addiction and weight gain, and that these problems can usually be lessened or eradicated with the proper diet and supplements.
To be sure, most of these health problems ought to be diagnosed by a medical professional, but they often get overlooked because their symptoms can be numerous and vague (fatigue, depression, inability to concentrate). They're not easily diagnosed by the common managed-care tests (such as the TSH, or thyroid-stimulating hormone, blood test; Ross advises several more specific tests if a thyroid problem is suspected). Ross's questionnaires, worksheets, and profiles of case studies from her 10 years of clinical experience will enable you to determine what may be the hidden causes that sabotage your weight-loss efforts.
Ross's book should be lauded for its educational tone. She warns of the dangers of zinc and vitamin B1 deficiencies, two common problems found in chronic dieters, along with protein and fat deficiencies and adrenal exhaustion (which is particularly common in caffeine fiends). She rails against the most popular diet programs, including the Zone, the Atkins Diet, and even Weight Watchers, for (among other things) their ignorance of food allergies such as grains, dairy products, and sugar. For those whom Ross terms, perhaps frighteningly, sugar addicts or "recreational sugar users," she suggests an amino-acid and fish-oil supplement plan to curb sugar cravings and aid weight loss. Many of her patients over the past decade testify in the book that their environmental allergies and weight-loss problems disappeared after they cut sugar from their diets.
Ross's suggestions may seem radical to many primary-care physicians; her approach to health and weight loss definitely takes a holistic approach. She does, however, back up her suggestions and plan with references to medical studies, along with dozens of print and online resources on finding a nutritionist, naturopathic physician, holistic M.D., and testing labs (many of them mail-order). This is one diet that Americans in particular ought to pay attention to.
Book Description
The highly successful individualized program that treats the underlying causes of overeating and ends food cravings in 24 hours--naturally
For the more than eighty million Americans who diet regularly--and without success--this amazing new program, based on ten years of proven clinical results, offers a revolutionary approach to nutrition that can safely curb your cravings and make you feel better in less than twenty-four hours. The Diet Cure begins with an 8-Step Quick Symptom Questionnaire that helps readers identify their unique underlying biochemical imbalances, such as depleted brain chemistry caused by too much dieting, hormonal irregularities, blood-sugar swings, food allergies, thyroid dysfunction, and a deficiency of "good" fats. Then it provides targeted strategies and nutritional guidelines to correct those imbalances, along with meal plans, tasty recipes, and inspiring case histories. Using amino acids to jump-start the program, readers create a safe, customized, easy-to-follow plan to end their food obsessions and attain their ideal healthy weight for good.
"The Diet Cure is an amazing book, filled with wisdom, experience, and practical advice. Nutrients, amino acids, and dietary interventions will become a much larger part of what physicians use in the twenty-first century. This book will help lead the way."--Daniel G. Amen, M.D., author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Life

A Miracle!.......2007-09-28
I am pretty savvy when it comes to nutrition and healthy living, I've read alot of books on this topic and have been eating whole organic foods most of my adult life. I avoid fast food, processed food, additives, simple sugars, wheat, etc. I add supplements here and there when needed, keep the meals balanced with the right amount of protien, carbs and fats, etc. I thought I was doing pretty good, at least in the top 20% so I thought. Well, Julia Ross has changed my life. Within a week on her program, the mental fog that has been slowly drifting into my existence over the past 10 years has lifted. My memory has improved as well as my focus and mental clarity. My sensitivity to life's pressures and stresses is cut by half. I have more energy and it is more consistent through the day. My carb addiction and afternoon blood sugar drops (I have often commented (half) jokingly about joining "bread addicts anonymous") are nothing like they were. After one week on her program, I have experienced a dramatic improvement in all these areas. The program lasts three months, I am truly excited to see the end results of this cure. I purchased this book for myself along with The Mood Cure for my husband and we have been going through the books together. We are both experiencing dramatic improvements in our lives. It is worth mentioning that I was not achieving results on the lower doses (she gives a range). Follow her instructions and increase your dose until you get results. It may seem like a lot of supplements, but stay with it and follow her instructions. Once I hit the right dosages, I got results very quickly. Julia Ross and her Nutritional Psychology colleagues call it science, but for us this information is a *blessing* of the highest order. Thank you Julia for making this information available to the masses!
Diet Cure.......2007-09-17
I liked the book and unlike most diet books as its primary role is to make one feel better rather than skinny. For those primarily interested in Amino Acids and the role of aminos in depression, anxiety, ocd, etc the Mood Cure is much better. The Mood Cure is written better, has much of the same information and diet suggestions and seems to be a rewrite of the Diet Cure, which could explain why the writing is better. At any rate both books come highly recommended. I have been following the amino acid suggestions and I must say, I feel better. Bravo!
Maks Sense of it All.......2007-07-27
Written for the lay person, but loaded with the scientific basis of nutrition and what the foods we eat do once inside our bodies. I'm following the advice given in the book and it has been spot on. I recognized a lot from college chemistry and biology, but this was far, far easier to understand and apply. I now look at food in a whole new light and feel better than I have in years. My only criticism would be that she continually refers you to other chapters, which made sense within the context of whatever subject she was on, but you had to keep going to the table of contents. It would have been helpful to have the chapter number included on the top of the right hand page so you could leaf through to the referred chapter quickly, but all in all a small inconvenience in an otherwise great experience. This book is a keeper for future reference, and I have already recommended it to some friends.
Top notch research.......2006-08-02
I work in molecular biology, and that has given me an understanding of cellular metabolism. In gaining this understanding, I have come to realize how horrific our American diets are. Unfortuneately, a few well meaning and misguided nutritionists and scientists earlier in teh twentieth century tried to reform our eating habits. These habits stuck, and now we have a country of fat unhealthy citizens. The more I read about nutrition, the more I understand what is wrong with our eating habits. The author has doen her research and has a very firm grasp on the concept of cellular metabolism. She references actual scientific studies that have been published. More and more literature is coming out debunking the food pyramid and extolling the health benefits of a high protein, low SIMPLE carb diet. This is not to be confused with diets such as Atkins, where all carbs are evil. Or diets such as weight watchers which encourage the consumption of processed foods. Or diets such as the Zone, whose recommended caloric intake is not enough to sustain basic cellular function. Diets such as South Beach are actually good models of a healthy eating plan. And amino acids, as Ms. Ross explains in her book, are the building blocks of proteins, whish are essential for our body to function. While her book does skip around, and can be a little hard to follow, it offers sound advice. Advice that sadly the rest of the world is slow to follow, out of ignorance.
Tons of information. Sometimes too much........2006-07-10
It can get a bit tedious at times and if you buy all the recommended supplements, you'll be spending a fortune. However, I did think the research was thorough and they had some really great points. Worth highlighting before passing along to someone.
