Apparently they would, to the tune of millions of copies sold, elevating the book to the New York Times best-seller list. If readers had purchased Trudeau’s Mega Memory, perhaps they would have remembered that he spent almost two years in federal prison after pleading guilty to credit-card fraud and that the Federal Trade Commission banned Trudeau “from appearing in, producing, or disseminating future infomercials that advertise any type of product, service, or program to the public, except for truthful infomercials for informational publications. In addition, Trudeau cannot make disease or health benefits claims for any type of product, service, or program in any advertising, including print, radio, Internet, television, and direct mail solicitations, regardless of the format and duration.” Trudeau had to pay $500,000 in consumer redress for his bogus infomercials and another $2 million to settle charges against him for claiming that coral calcium cures cancer (it doesn’t) and that an analgesic product called Biotape permanently relieves pain (it doesn’t).
So Trudeau is free to dole out in print such opinions as these: “Medical science has absolutely, 100 percent, failed in the curing and prevention of illness, sickness, and disease.” (Smallpox is not a disease?) “Get all metal out of your dental work.” (Won’t this help the medical cartel?) “Sun block has been shown to cause cancer.” (References?) “Don’t drink tap water.” (Wrong: studies show it is as safe as bottled water.) “Animals in the wild virtually never get sick.” (No need to worry about avian influenza.) “Get 15 colonics in 30 days.” (Can I bring a friend?) “Wear white…. The closer you get to white, the more positive energy you bring into your energetic field.” (Why is Trudeau wearing all black on the book cover?) “Stop taking nonprescription and prescription drugs.” (Including insulin for diabetes?) “This includes vaccines.” (Welcome back, polio.) “Have sex.” (Without prescription Viagra?)
