Kevin Trudeau
Kevin Trudeau is a multi-level marketing executive and television infomercial spokesperson. He has been accused of being a confidence trickster. Often seen on late night TV, his news-style infomercials have promoted a range of products, from health aids to memory-improving courses. His latest series of infomercials features his book Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You To Know About (ISBN 097559950X). In it he makes various claims about the safety and health of our food supply, arguing that diseases such as cancer can be cured with naturopathic remedies. He likewise maintains that the pharmaceutical industry is actively suppressing these miracle cures, so that they can continue to profit from their patented treatments.

Critics of Trudeau point to his established criminal history and warn buyers to be wary of his advice. He has been widely characterized as a deceptive marketer and the epitome of the snake oil salesman, quack, or flim-flam-man. Nevertheless, Trudeau's commercials are so compelling, that as of Sunday, September 25, 2005 according to the New York Times this book is the number one (#1) selling current non-fiction book in the United States.
