Sorry for the english NS-6

TRUDEAU: And this is the problem. Do you think the food industry wants people to be thin? No. The food industry wants people to be fatter. There are ingredients being put in food right now that make you hungry. [Note that he doesn't identify them.] There are ingredients being put in food right now that make you addicted to the food. There are ingredients that are being put in food right now that make you fat, and most of these products are called “diet products.” Interesting. You take a diet product and you think, “Oh, this is to help me lose weight.”

MATTHEWS: Right.

TRUDEAU: There is research that shows the ingredients being put in by the food manufacturers specifically increase appetite, specifically make a person fatter, and get them addicted to the product. [There is no such thing as food addiction.] Now if you sell food, isn’t that great for you?

MATTHEWS: Sure.

TRUDEAU: “Wow! Let’s put in this ingredient so that when our customers buy it, they get hungrier. That way they have to buy more food.” Obesity is not a disease. It’s being put upon us by the food industry. Why is it right now there are more fat people in America than ever before in our history and more diet products are consumed than ever before? Over 70% of the people in America right now are overweight. Almost 40% are obese, but now it’s a disease, which means, guess what? They’re trying to wipe out all the natural cures for overweight so that you can have only drugs treat overweight people . . . and that’s [where] this book is. Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You to Know About. Cancer . . . there are cures for cancer. There are ways to prevent cancer.

MATTHEWS: What are some—I mean, without giving away too much of the book? [The book does not suggest any "cancer cures. In fact, it contains almost no advice on how to cure specific conditions. So people who buy the book with the hope that it will help cure what ails them are unlikely to find such advice.]

TRUDEAU: You know, I have been attacked by the FTC and the FDA for making statements that are true. [Not true. He was "attacked" for making statements that were false. In fact, he made so many that the FTC finally got a court order making it illegal for his to sell any products except publications. When challenged by the FTC, Trudeau had the opportunity to defend himself by presenting evidence that his product claims were true. Instead of doing this, he agreed to go out of the "natural cures" business. If he had facts to back him up, do you think he would agreed to stop selling products whose sales totaled hundreds of millions of dollars?]

MATTHEWS: Such as?

TRUDEAU: Okay. Nobel-Prize-winning authors have said this. Doctors around the world have said this. Your body has a pH. Okay? If you remember your swimming pool, you tested your pH of acid/alkaline. . .

MATTHEWS: Right, right, right.

TRUDEAU: If your body pH is alkaline, you can not get cancer. [This statement is false.]

MATTHEWS: You can’t get sick.

TRUDEAU: You can’t virtually get sick.

MATTHEWS: Right.

TRUDEAU: Okay? If it’s acid, you can get cancer. In our—my personal observations, every single person who has cancer has an acidic body, acid pH, where it’s so [acidic] that it’s dramatically [inaudible]. . . [Considering the fact that there is no such thing as acidity or alkalinity of the body, I wonder what "observations" he can use to determine whether someone's body is acidic.]

MATTHEWS: Caused by?

TRUDEAU: A whole host of factors. Okay, there’s a multitude of things including the food we eat, even how we think, in turning the body acidic. But the point is, in order to get the person or cure them from cancer, it’s simply you get your body to be alkaline. If your body’s alkaline—and there’s a whole host of ways to get your body alkaline. If your body is alkaline, you can not get cancer. You can not get cancer, and if you have cancer, it goes away. That’s a cure. It’s a natural cure. [He promoted that claim for coral calcium until the FDA and FTC made him stop.]

MATTHEWS: Well, that’s. . .

TRUDEAU: Cancer can’t. . .

MATTHEWS: —a pretty bold statement.

TRUDEAU: But it—but it—it’s true. And do you think the cancer industry wants a cure that’s all natural? No!

MATTHEWS: No, obviously not. [Trudeau does not define the "cancer industry," but I would think it includes drug companies, cancer specialists, other physicians, researchers, hospitals, pharmacists, and voluntary health organizations. These groups do not have identical interests. For example, any researcher who found a "natural cure"for cancer would win the Nobel Prize and quickly achieve both fame and fortune. Moreover, it is safe to assume that the individuals who make up the "cancer industry" would be pleased if products were found that could cure cancers in themselves and others who they care about.]

TRUDEAU: It’s a billion, billion, billions of dollars. . .

MATTHEWS: I think the drug industry’s being attacked on all sides. They’re being attacked by natural cures; they’re being attacked by people importing their drugs from other countries . . .

TRUDEAU: Correct.

MATTHEWS: . . . and I think that . . . you know, being a government agency, a . . . you know . . . for all intents and purposes, in the United States, that’s where the control needs to stay. It just seems like that.

TRUDEAU: Well, it—and that’s why there’s an unholy alliance between the FDA and the FTC. Now this book Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You to Know About covers arthritis, migraines, pain, headaches, cancer, heart disease; we talk about depression, stress, phobias, fibromyalgia, herpes. . .

MATTHEWS: Now fibromyalgia, that’s kind of like a blanket over. . .

TRUDEAU: It’s a blanket—when you have some symptoms, you don’t feel good . . .

MATTHEWS: Yes.

TRUDEAU: . . . and there’s no . . . nobody knows what it is. . .

MATTHEWS: It’s . . . like you’re in a funk.

TRUDEAU: They’ll call it fibromyalgia. . . or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is another one. There are natural cures that are not drugs that absolutely work. And the companies that manufacture these natural remedies, or in some cases, simply foods that you can consume or foods to avoid, just take this food out and the problem goes away, these companies cannot state what their products do, what the homeopathic remedies do, what the essential oils, what the herbs, what the vitamins, there—minerals. The companies that sell these products can not say what they really do because if they do, the FDA will come in and say you’re making a claim, therefore it’s a drug, therefore you’re selling a drug without a license, and the FDA [right]. . . [These statements are false or misleading. The FDA has approved more than a dozen health claims that can be made for foods. The only requirement is that the claims be truthful and supported by competent scientific evidence. Even though all homeopathic products are worthless, the FDA permits products whose ingredients are listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia to be sold without a prescription for self-limiting conditions readily diagnosable by consumers." The FDA's policy toward the other products is that no claim can be made unless it is supported by competent scientific evidence.]

MATTHEWS: [What doesn’t] have to be a drug?

TRUDEAU: Well, according to the FDA, it does. See, the FDA laws state that nothing . . . nothing can cure or prevent or diagnose a disease unless it’s a drug.

MATTHEWS: They even have a problem with vitamin C, I believe, and that’s been around forever. . .

TRUDEAU: They tried to make that a drug.

MATTHEWS: Is that right?

TRUDEAU: Yes. The drug industry is trying to get—for years—has tried to get all vitamins and minerals labeled “drugs” so that they can control it. [This is a flat-out lie and scare statement used by the supplement industry to get vitamin users to ask Congress to weaken FDA protection. In the early 1970s, the FDA wanted to stop the sale of very-high-dose nutrients without a prescription. However, a health-food-industry campaign persuaded Congress to pass the Proxmire Amendment to the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to prohibit the FDA from limiting the potency of ingredients of vitamin and mineral products that are not inherently dangerous.] There are health freedoms in this country that are being taken away from us. There are more people sick today than ever before. There are more people that are overweight. There are more people that have diabetes. There are more people that have cancer. There are more people that have heart disease. There are more people that have migraine headaches. There are more people that have arthritis. There are more people that have virtually every major health abnormality. [Trudeau doesn't indicate how he does his counting. Since the American population is increasing and since Americans are living longer, I would expect that an overall increase in number of people becoming ill and the number of people acquiring diseases that are prevalent in older people. However, Trudeau's statement is false because the incidence of many diseases has decreased. Poliomyelitis, for example, has been wiped out in the United States.]
