It's hard to believe, given that he doesn't have a medical degree from Harvard. He has no prior health care industry experience. And, the established medical community scoffs at his advice.



So why are diabetics in love with this late night infomercial host, found on more channels than I Love Lucy reruns?

Kevin Trudeau is popular because he offers people with debilitating illnesses, like diabetes, hope through natural remedies - free of surgery or pharmaceutical prescriptions.

Of all the advice offered in his 571 page Natural Cures book, the number one recommended tip from Mr. Trudeau, for people suffering from diabetes and other diseases is this - Take Control of Your Life!

That's it! Take responsibility for your condition. Don't feel sorry for yourself. Don't cry about life being unfair. But, do take charge of your condition and get better.

He the final, concluding chapter, he saves this advice, telling readers to get rid of the "oh poor me" mentality and be a leader.

Society, government, the weather, your Uncle Bob, the city you live in are not the reasons you have Type 2. In most cases, the reason is because you've led a sedentary life in front of the TV, eating high fat, high sugar Twinkies, Coke and french fries, you're now paying a health price.

We get calls from diabetics every day, looking to find an answer for their obesity, overweight or high blood sugar problems.

The ones that take control and seek out solutions are the ones that call back, three or four months later, happy that their weight and blood sugar are lower or under control.

The ones that feel sorry for themselves and walk away from solutions, are never heard from again.

From personal experience, people that seek out doctors that prescribe drugs and surgery, only as a last resort, are the second greatest help in controlling diabetes.

The third most important is getting on a reasonable diet and exercise program.

And the fourth is clinically-documented supplements to accelerate your progress in taking charge.

If you go to Kevin Trudeau's web site, you'll find a list of doctors and supplement suppliers with products that help diabetics to restore healthy weight levels and blood sugar readings.

Click on finding a practitioner and you'll find a list of holistic doctors. Click on supplements and you'll find a range of remedies that can help maximize the benefits of a diet and exercise program.

As Trudeau notes, with a strong pharmaceutical lobby in place, you won't find the established mainstream medical community getting behind these doctors or supplement suppliers.

Instead of pointing a finger at the world, his site offers solutions for people that want to be leaders in overcoming Type 2 diabetes.
