colon cleanse

A book written by Kevin Trudeau promoting a variety of non-drug, non-surgical and all-natural cures for virtually every disease, and criticizing the United States government, the FDA, and pharmaceutical companies for censoring these methods and cures on the basis that it would cut into their profit-margin.

Major work being done on the article

I am doing some major copyediting. The major problem with this article is that there is alot of redunancy and the external links section is way way way too long. Bear with me. I won't put the "editing in progress" tag on this, but I'm doing some major cleanup work. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 11:06, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Is there a wiki book review website?

I wish to see this bullshit artist called on his crap without couching it in NPOV. -68.76.145.201.

I don't know of any current wiki book review, though there may be one. Normally reviews are done on book-selling sites like amazon.com or on private web sites. Including them in Wikipedia is good enough for now. It is not NPOV to review the content, if it is being reviewed in a fair unbiased and polite manner, even if it is polite insults to idiotic content. -Tyciol 05:53, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Old article (reference)

In responce to this spam posted by an IP below... well... I don't really want it cluttering this talk page here. It seems like they put a lot of work into it though so I feel bad deleting it... maybe move it to some other article? Perhaps the user desires to return and incorporate some of the relevant information here into the article? No clue... Tyciol 06:47, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Claims

• The only two reasons a person becomes ill are: The person catches a virus or bacteria, or a disease is developed through an imbalance in the body, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, acid reflux, or arthritis.
• The body develops a disease in "genetically weak" areas, due to a weak immune system or toxins attacking the body.
• All disease is caused by a combination of too many toxins in the body, nutritional deficiencies, electromagnetic chaos, and mental and emotional stress.
• The main cause of toxins in the body is "what comes in the body, what goes out of the body, exercise, rest, thoughts, and what you say."
• Toxins are absorbed through the skin (lotions and cosmetics), nose (mold, dust, pollen, air fresheners, carpeting, mattresses, glue, paint, air conditioning, and detergent), eyes (violent and disturbing images) and ears (sound of air conditioning, computer, alarm clock, loud music, appliances, car engines, and car horns). (p. 95)
• Certain music, sounds, and frequencies cause plants to thrive, while others cause plants to wither and die. Unnatural man-made frequencies negatively affect cells in the human body. (p. 99)
• Unnatural electromagnetic energy affects the natural electromagnetic field of the body, including cell phone towers, cell phones, high tension power lines, electric wiring, computers, fluorescent lights, microwave overs, satellites, and other people. Sitting in a laundromat, using an electric hairdryer, or air flowing between buildings produces positive ions, leading to fatigue. Ocean waves, water running in a stream, or wind blowing through trees produce healthy negative ions. (p.102)
• Using a microwave oven weakens the immune system, causes depression and anxiety, and poisons foods including baby food and water. (p. 145)
• Nonstick cookware emits fumes at high temperatures, leading to respiratory disease, weakening of the immune system, cancer, depression, asthma, headaches, and other health problems. (p. 148)
• Vitamin E can prevent heart disease, eliminate varicose veins, improve sexual performance, and reduce or alleviate depression. (p. 160)
• Digestive enzyme supplements can eliminate acid reflux, heartburn, indigestion, gas, bloating, and constipation. (p. 161)
• Cellphones, laptops, wireless devices, high definition TVs, irradiated food, and microwaved food suppress the immune system, lead to disease, and cause cancer. (p. 164)
• White or bright clothing emits positive energy (p. 167)

Food and beverages

• Fruit juices are made with fruit grown using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and genetic engineering, then are pastuerized to 220 degrees, destroying nutritional value. (p.95)
• Carbonated beverages block calcium absorption. (p.95)
• Flouride and Chlorine are found in tap water, swimming pools, and irrigation. Eating products grown with irrigation water, bathing in tap water, or drinking tap water is considered "toxic" due to chemicals destroying living cells. (p.93)
• Milk has been altered by dairy companies in the following ways: genetically modified cows intended for milking, use of sick and diseased cows, machine milking that allows blood and pus to enter the milk, and pasteurization to 220 degrees for thirty minutes.
• The process of homogenization, intended to preserve shelf life, scars arterial walls and leads to arteriosclerosis. This is due to "clusters of molecules" scarring arteries and clogging the digestive system, leading to acid reflux disease, obesity, allergies, constipation, and arteriosclerosis. (p.79)
• "Over 15,000" chemicals are placed by food companies in to food products, these chemicals do not have to be listed on the label. (p.85)
• Artificial sweeteners such as caccharine, aspartame, and sucralose cause obesity and depression. (p.88)
• Food is converted from matter to energy when digested. Natural food contains "healthy energy," while unnatural food contains "unhealthy energy." (p. 84)
• Cooked food destroys natural enzymes. (p. 84)
• Food additives block absorption of nutrients. (p. 81)
• Natural food has one fifth of the nutrition of natural food fifty years ago. (p. 81)
• Highly toxic feed and chemicals are used to help farmed fish grow faster, while freshwater and ocean fish contain abnormally high levels of toxic chemicals due to chemical dumping. (p.80)
• Livestock are fed antibiotics, leading to an unbalanced immune system that promotes disease. Meat eaters then consume these diseases and antibiotics. In addition, aged meat contains significant bacteria when eaten. (p.79)
• Non-organic food contains pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, growth hormone, and food additives. (p. 78)
• Shellfish and sea life that do not have scales will absorb toxins from the water, causing sickness and death. Fish with scales and fins do not absorb these toxins easily.
• White table sugar is grown with dangerous chemicals, processed, stripped of nutritional value when heated, and causes cancer in sea turtles. (p. 154)
• White processed flour is chemically treated, stripped of natural fiber and nutrients, and becomes indigestible paste when eaten. It lacks nutrition, has no life force, spikes insulin, and causes constipation. (p. 154)

Disease

• More people are sick today "than ever before." This includes the flu, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, lupus, muscular dystrophy, asthma, migraine headaches, joint/neck/back pain, acid reflux, ulcers, stomach problems, menopause problems, frequent and severe PMS, ADD and ADHD, chronic fatigue, acne, dandruff, depression, stress, anxiety, sexual dysfunction, infertility, allergies, arthritis, constipation, fybromyalgia, cold sores, herpetic breakouts, prostate problems, and yeast infections. (p.9)
• Disease is caused by acidity. (p. 77)
• Medical conditions are commonly labeled "diseases" in order to have drugs developed for them. (p. 10)
• Heart disease is caused when cholesterol attaches to scarred arterial walls (arteriosclerosis). This scarring occurs primarily due to chlorinated water, hydrogenated oils and trans fats, and homogenized dairy products. (p92)
• Dehydration causes pain, stiffness, arthritis, asthma, allergies, and other medical issues. (p.91)
• People with a strong immune system and a body in balanced homeostasis should "never show any symptoms of viruses or bacteria." (p. 72)
• Headaches, bloating, indigestion, heartburn, nausea, allergies, asthma, fibromyalgia, arthritis, diabetes, constipation, yeast infections, dandruff, acne, halitosis, fatigue, depression, stress, and inability to lose weight can all be caused by a "candida yeast overgrowth," caused by taking any antibiotics. (p. 137)
• AIDS is not caused by HIV, but is caused by recreational drugs and AZT. (AIDS, Peter H. Duesberg, Ph.D. and John Yamouyiannis, Ph.D.)
• Arthritis can be cured by an immuno-modulator known as CMO (Arthritis Defeated At Last: The Real Arthritis Cure, Len Sands, N.D., Ph.D., ACRP)
• Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's Disease, and neurodegenerative diseases are caused by aspartame, MSG, and other food additives. (Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills, Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.)

Drugs

• All drugs have negative side effects. (p. 73)
• Drugs suppress symptoms while creating side effects. Drugs are never manufactured to cure diseases or conditions. All prescription and nonprescription drugs are the cause of disease. (p. 74)

Environmental toxins

• Toxins are easily absorbed through human skin. (p.96)
• Herbicides, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers suppress the immune system, and cause acidity in the body.
• All cholesterol lowering drugs have an adverse effect on the liver, leading to diabetes, acid reflux, constipation, colon cancer, heart disease, asthma, arthritis, and dozens of other diseases. (p. 75)
• All disease comes from an inability to fight off germs due to a weak immune system, and genetic weakness due to toxins attacking the body. (p.73)
• All illness comes from toxins, nutritional deficiency, electromagnetic chaos, and physical and emotional stress. (p. 73)

Antibiotics, nonprescription and prescription drugs, chlorinated water, and fluoridated water eliminate digestive enzymes, reduce metabolism, and block absorption of nutrients. (p. 162)

The FDA, Government organizations, and pharmaceutical companies

• Pharmaceutical companies, food companies, trade associations, charities and foundations, lobbyists, and government agencies are all concerned with making a profit over the wellfare of the people. (p. 24)
• Approximately $800 million is needed to patent and approve a drug. Politicians and members of the FDA own stock in research companies, as the companies can make $1 billion from a single drug patent. (p. 27)
• An FDA law stating "Only a drug can cure, prevent, or treat a disease" allows the FTC to ban any product with a health claim that is not a drug, such as food and natural cures. It also allows the FDA to categorize a number of conditions as "disease" in order to promote new drugs for them. (p. 28)
• The pharmaceutical company spends $10 billion a year in advertising, using celebrities paid to make certain claims, or paid actors portrayed as real doctors. (p. 30)
• The FDA gets funding directly from the drug industry. Over 1500 FDA employees who review new drugs are paid directly by pharmaceutical companies. (p. 31)
• News organizations are sponsored by drug companies, and cannot produce negative reports about them. Many news reports and studies are used as free advertising for drug companies. (p. 32)
• Drug companies use web sites to promote certain products, while denouncing natural cures. (p. 35)
• The anthrax attacks in Washington may have been used to promote sales of the drug Cipro.
• Members of Congress have passed a law that allows them to buy and sell stocks based on insider information. Members of Congress know in advance whether a drug will be approved or not, as pharmaceutical companies put employees in the FDA, and funnel money through lobbyists. (p. 37)
• The FDA, FTC, health care associations, pharmaceutical companies, and major news organizations have a coordinated effort to suppress the ineffectiveness of drugs, while claiming natural remedies are ineffective and hiding them from the public. (p. 42)
• The FDA and the FTC specifically target small and medium sized businesses, while leaving big businesses alone. The FTC collects money for "consumer redress" without returning the money to consumers. (p. 44)
• Ephedra, a compound found in Ma Huang, is an effective remedy for obesity and asthma, used to increase metabolism and decrease appetite. The FDA has banned Ephedra due to 153 deaths, which the author claims were not conclusively linked to Ephedra. In comparison, 2000 people die yearly from taking aspirin in regular doses. (p. 44)
• St. John's Wort was stated as ineffective in one study, while Prozac was also found to be ineffective in the same study. The results of Prozac were suppressed. Another study showed that a high sugar diet compared to a diet with 30% more sugar had no effect on hyperactivity or learning and behavioral problems. The author claims the study was funded by sugar companies and used inaccurate data. (p. 45)
• News and information has been suppressed on chiropractors in Illinois who were proven in court to be more effective than medical doctors, and a doctor who was sued by the FDA and found not guilty by the New York Supreme Court for using an all-natural method of curing AIDS. (p. 48)
• Bill Clinton is making millions of dollars exporting pharmaceutical drugs. (p. 49)
• Lawsuits are filed against companies that sell all-natural products that can cure or prevent disease. An "Operation Cure All" campaign allows the FTC to make deceptive claims against natural products, while consumers are prohibited from telling truthful information on the product. Drug companies routinely promote false information for their own drugs in television, newspaper, and radio advertisements. (p. 50)
• The FDA has purchased vitamin, mineral, herbal, and homeopathic companies in order to sell and advertise them without being affected by the FTC. A major drug company sells and controls Echinacea in Europe, while vitamins are prescription only or illegal in certain doses. (p. 51)
• Thousands of medical doctors are denouncing drugs and surgery. (p. 52)
• Pharmaceutical drugs are intended to treat disease without curing or preventing disease. 5,000 Americans are killed daily from diseases with no cure, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and other chronic diseases. Over 100,000 Americans die from pharmaceutical drugs per year. Medical liability reform under President Bush is intended to protect drug manufacturers from compensating patients. The pharmaceutical industry was the largest sponsor of the Bush election campaign. (p. 53)
• The pharmaceutical industry has blocked information on vitamins and micronutrients in biology, biochemistry, and medical textbooks. Non-patentable therapies are are outlawed so that companies can continue to produce drugs. (p. 54)
• The FTC presents suits are held in a court within the FTC building, before an "administrative law judge" who is an FTC employee. Not one judge has ruled against the FTC. (p. 56)
• The FTC waits for companies to generate profits before shutting them down, in order make money for themselves. The FTC does not file against major corporations, even those that promote false or misleading information. (p. 57)
• Lobbyists have convinced municipalities to dump fluoride in to tap water, due to regulations on dumping fluoride after being manufactured from superphosphic fertilizer. The reasoning for fluoride to exist in tap water to promote dental health is a "lie." (p.91)
• Food companies want to convince consumers that chemically produced food is superior to naturally made food. (p.88)
• The drug Celebrex was allowed to continue running ads despite being labeled "false and misleading advertising" by the FDA. (p. 58)
• Almost all press releases by the FTC are false and misleading. (p. 58)
• The FTC has threatened to seize and burn the book "Natural Cures "They Don't Want You to Know About." (p. 59)
• The website Web M.D. is a publicly traded company with "millions and millions in profits," and exists as a front for pharmaceutical companies to encourage drugs. (p. 59)
• Many man-made ingredients are listed as all-natural due to lobbyists, who want more food to be sold. (p.85)
• Food is made to be chemically addictive, and cause depression, in order to provide business for drug companies. These chemicals are created by antidepressant manufacturers. (p.83)
• Illegal and toxic chemicals that are used in food are produced in laboratories "where the security is higher than Fort Knox." Lobbyists bribe congress to allow these chemicals in order to preserve food, add taste and texture, increase hunger, increase obesity, cause addition, and cause disease. (p.85)

Research claims

• Examples of corporate greed include automobile companies suppressing carburetors that would allow automobiles to run "a thousand miles to a gallon," and dismantling the Redline Train System in California in order to force consumers to purchase more automobiles. (p. 16)
• Animals in the wild never develop heart attacks or cancer, and most do not get sick. Chimpanzees and gorillas do not have diabetes, asthma, allergies, constipation, or insomnia, and live to be 180 years old.
• 100 percent of women tested in one study were found to have rocket fuel in their breast milk, likely as a result of the environment. (p.80)
• Merck, the manufacturer of the prescription drug Vioxx, and the FDA, knew in advance that over 100,000 people would die from its effects. (p. 74)
• Anthrax attacks did not affect all people in the targeted building due to their strong immune system resisting Anthrax. (p. 72)
• Over "900 studies from around the world" prove the premise of the book. (p. 319)
• Approximately 2.4 million operations performed every year are unnecessary and cost about 12,000 lives. In six New York hospitals, 43 percent of performed hysterectomies reviewed were found to be unjustified. Historically, when doctors have gone on strike, the mortality rate has dropped. (Confessions of a Medical Heretic, Robert S. Mendelsohn, M.D.)
• Over 130 million Americans are chronically poisoned by water companies for profit (Flouride: The Aging Factor, John Yiamouyannis, Ph.D.)

neutrality dispute

"Unfortunately, one pays for the book but then reads in the book that many of the cures or remedies are on the website, which costs additional. If one was given a few weeks free to access the website, then it would not seem like such a rip-off. Some customers do not feel they are getting what they paid for. Furthermore, he weaves his complaints about the FDA in with the health cures so that one has to read through the complaints just to get to the health cures in the book."

Someone who's good at writing from NPOV can please fix it, or at least explan how this is NPOV if it is?

It sounds like anti-NPOV to me. Please remove it. Or add words like 'some critics say that people pay for the book and then reads in the book that many of the cures and rememdies are on the website, which costs additionall.... Smith Jones 02:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Again, this article is littered with criticism instead of true NPOV.

I'll go through the article and delete all of the UN-SOURCED criticisms. Smith Jones 16:52, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
