infomercial, bad science

clipmaureen says:

He's re-invents himself as an expert every few years and claims to know all the answers. He has no credentials but tells people not to seek conventional treatment for cancer. Tammy Faye Baker Messner was his spokesperson on the infomercial advising HIS cancer cure. Beware this snake oil salesman.

He was sued by the agency in 1998 and again in 2003. A 2004 order settling charges that he falsely advertised the use of coral calcium as a cure for cancer banned Trudeau from appearing in infomercials, but included an exception for book advertisements.  But the order specifically prohibited Trudeau from misrepresenting book content, and the FTC argues that is what he is doing in his current TV ads. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/44C22E11-6B65-40F2-9E5C-9D54251AAFB7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
