We had a good chat about current events in our lives and then we went to Chapters(book store). She told me about Kevin Trudeau, the writer of several books about natural cures. Since we both like to read about natural ways to deal with all kinds of illnesses and diseases, we LOVE to talk about new things we read or hear. One of our favorite topics is the WEIGHT LOSS, of course. After her very interesting story about his writings on this topic, she showed me his books in Chapters and I bought one " "Natural Cures" They Don't Want You To Know About".
I started reading the book in the bus on the way back home. I loved it and at the same time I felt so sad!!! Even though I just started, I already feel that he is right about American Drug Industry and Health Care. He says (I'm citing his words) in his Acknowledgment,
"I would like to thank the Federal Trade Commission and
the Food and Drug Administration for being a direct
inspiration to me to write this book and expose the corruption
in both of these organizations. Your personal attacks on me and other people,
shows to the world just how corrupt you are and that you must be stopped.
... I will personally help to stop the needless suffering of millions of people that you are
directly causing. "
When I read this, I was shocked!!! I feel better about Canada, though. Since I am a student nurse, I am exposed to a lot of information about our health care system. I had one lecture about Drug Administration in Canada and US. The professor was telling us that In Canada, our government banned commercials about drugs unlike US, where Television is occupied by those scary drugs commercials!!! I personally know that because i have US channels and I feel so bad for US citizens and health care professionals. People watch it and think those are the potential cures, but in reality it is the cause of their diseases!!! However, a lot of drug companies keep pushing Canadian Government to allow commercials!!! I am so against that and I hope it will never happen!!! People will suffer and Drug companies will prosper- NOT FAIR!!!!
In conclusion, I am eager to read about his opinions and his proposal of the ways to cure all the diseas and to stay healthy all life!!! I am ready to stay healthy and I do not want to consume any drugs or undergo any surgeries. I am for prevention of all the illnesses, but I guess it is not the advantage to our governments and drug companies!!!!
