Seen these infomercials? Natural Cures – Trudeau

In my estimation, Ive seen the FDA become over politicized and , of late, being heavily influenced by industry, especially the large contingent of industries in the Flavors and Fragrances arena. Many of these companies are foreign but fully owned by large multinationals with HQs in the US. We look carefully at stuff from China but fail to be concerned about anti freeze in vanilla extract and ice cream ,and large amounts held in these non natural flavors in a gazillion products.

Other than alcohol and vitamins, what were the other ingredients in Hadacol. I remember that it had a dark color and a very unusual taste kinda maybe like b vitamins.

What in the world was it supposed to cure?

From Wiki:
One of the tonic's unusual ingredients, "Diluted Acid Hydrochloric", is what is known as a "hydrochloric wash": a heavily diluted form of the acid that opens the arteries and allows the body's quicker absorption of the other ingredients, including the 12 percent alcohol "preservative".

OK so the other day I turn the TV on and there is my favorite scam artist Trudeau. He is now peddling Financial Cures - of course what else to do in a down economy. He had a panel with him to discuss his books. And you know who were two of his panelists - two playboy bunnies.

No joke they were identified as play boy bunnies - Trudeau was serious talking some crap about financial cures and these airheads were asking him questions and acting astonished (badly acted of course) at his answers.

Trudea is the most abhorant of snake oil peddlars. He is a shameless one, bordering on sociopathology.

Love this article on it

The thing that amazes me is how many boneheads actually fall for this crap.

So, you drank some acid to counteract an acid stomach?

Yeh, I got a drop of hydrochloric acid on my skin once. Had the scar for about thirty years.

Wow, Osso, on a larger scale that's what happened to the Phantom (of the opera). You didn't have the scar when I met you.

Stares at right thumb...

as I can still see the scar from Margaret the Cat.. wrist to near elbow..

but no, the circle from the HCl is finally indiscernible to my admittedly bad eyes.

But we were rushed in the airport, JL, and you probably have better eyes.

So, JL, do you want your picture as an avatar? Or are you being quiet and wanting to be a bad abstract?

Or maybe one of your paintings, if we could work that out.. that would be trickier.

(sorry, slight tangent...)

No tangent at all, Osso. But how do I make an avatar?

My husband is at it again - now he is telling me that our toothpaste has antifreezze in it - anyone know about this? I tried to find it on snopes.com but couldn't.

With not working he is reading these cure books again. I tried to tell him about how this guy is a scam artist, but he still thinks Trudeau says some truths (which seeing he is copying stuff from other people I would imagine some of it is true).

There has beentainted Chinese toothpaste in 2007: NYT-report

So this is toothpaste from China - not from my tube of Crest I bought at the local CVS.

Sounds like this Trudeau gives you half truths in a sense. Something that is true, but not the full background around it.

What I am afraid of is that my husband will start buying all this homo crap that we don't have the money for - to save us from cancer and other diseases.
