I am attempting to do this. Started with Garlic pills for my blood pressure that also have ingredients that help the heart. Also taking Cinnamon tablets and Fenugreek for my diabetes and will be adding a high dose biotin capsule this week. Any one heard of this biotin cure? Although most days I feel pretty good, there are times when I just get a little nervous and will take my B/P & diabetes medication as a precaution. I have no way of monitoring my blood pressure at this time except when I go to the doctor.
I'd like to hear from people who have successfully gotten off their medications and are going all natural. Tell me how you did it and anything else that will put my mind at ease. I really want to stop taking my prescriptions (especially Avandia) but have some concerns. Thanks.

Here's the thing.... Kevin Treudau (and any other author that writes a book) is not a doctor that can talk to you in person, look at your labs, and run any needed tests on you to see if you can safely get off any given medication.
Yes, there are many supplements that can help you, and it's possible that you could get off of many/all of your prescriptions.... but the safest way is to see a doctor in person to ask.
The major problem that comes up with blindly stopping prescriptions based on a book is that many drugs have added side effects that occur when you just drop from a high dose and need to be slowly taken off to avoid the withdrawal. Diabetes is an even more serious problem.... if it's not checked by a doctor, you could get too little or too much support between the supplements and drugs, and with something as severe as Diabetes, too much or too little support could be as severe as being fatal. With something like that, it's not worth the risk, and you really should talk to a doctor in person... or at least a nutritionist, dietitian, or natural doctor that is willing to help you.
I wish you good luck and the best of health!
I think he does what he accuses others of doing... not giving the true facts. He claims his book is going to be about what natural cures are available instead of using medicines, and his book instead doesn't give any natural cures but instead, pushes you to his website where he wants you to BUY in in order to find out what these natural cures are. So his book is not about what he claims it is. It's just an indictment on the pharmaceutical industry, but it doesn't give the information that he claims it does, the actual natural cures for ailments. The guy is an ex-con who has already been censored for making inappropriate claims about supplements he was selling. He doesn't exactly have the 'pedigree' to give ANYTHING he says any credibility. Yes, I think the FDA is corrupt. Yes, I think pharmaceutical companies present their data in a way that confuses the actually figures of how effective something is. But this is nothing new. And I don't need to spend money on a book by an ex-con to tell me these things. Especially when he claims the book is about natural cures, NOT slamming the pharmaceutical industry. Aspirin has saved lives. There are MANY drugs that allow people to live longer, and healthier. In my opinion, his book is a scam and doesn't deliver what he claims it will.
I have stopped all synthetic medicines and have been taking all natural medicines for awhile now, i have not read his book i have however read several other books, when i develped thyroid problems,celiac disease, and peri-menopause, i sought my family doctors advice and spent years taking medicines that did not work and got tired of doctors blowing me off and just writing prescriptions to get rid of me, i became empowered to do something for myself that would work, there are some excellent groups to join on yahoo, hormonesandhealth is an excellent one, i am also fixing to read hilda clarke's newest book. Going all natural changed my life! My health is better and finding a doctor that believes in all natural medicine took a while but (my life and quality of life) it's worth it. Even my parents have switched and feel better and they are 68 and 77 years old. my life got better if i had kept listening to conventional doctors they would have radiated me! And now my medical conditions are under control from natural medicine and i take less and no bad side effects. Good Luck, Just my two cents worth.
If you have diabetes, and high blood pressure then it is not very wise to simply stop your drugs based on a moron. This is moronic advice. If you do this then your next address may just be forest lawn.
Kevin Trudeau is a known criminal who takes advantage of people. He has gone to jail for it. Please do not believe anything he says. natural things are fine but DO NOT TRUST TREUDEAU. If you do not believe me just do some research.
"Kevin Trudeau is a hack."
