SUMMARY
Kevin Trudeau's self-published book, the flagship product of the case. Bibliographic data (title, creator, publisher, date, ISBN, language) copied directly from the Internet Archive's catalog/metadata record for identifier isbn_9780975599556_p0n6, fetched via the archive.org metadata API (2026-07-10), not from a search-tool summary. (Later printings and an 'Update for 2014' edition carry different ISBNs, e.g. an NLM-catalogued copy at 9780975599518 and a 2014 GSN-published update at 9780991178216; this entry cites the original August 2004 edition.) The book argues that 'natural cures' exist for nearly every disease and are being suppressed by pharmaceutical companies, the FDA, and the FTC; a full-text scan of a later (Jan. 2006) reprint on archive.org, identifier KevinTrudeauNaturalCuresJan.2006Ebook, was fetched directly (2026-07-10) to confirm the book's own introductory framing, including Chapter 4's argument that natural cures are being suppressed and hidden from the public (rendered in the OCR text as 'Natural cures are being sup- pressed and hidden from the public', split across a line break) and its identification of the FDA and FTC among the 'culprits' behind this 'great lie.'
NOTES
The book is the intervention’s core artifact: a 570-page, mass-market paperback (per contemporaneous New York Times reporting) sold directly to television viewers via infomercial, its title and framing (“They” don’t want you to know) supplying the exclusive-knowledge pitch the case documents. Cited for its existence, publisher, and publication date; its specific health claims are documented instead through the FTC, DOJ, and court sources, which is the standard this archive applies to claims of “suppressed” cures rather than treating the author’s own book as the authority for the claims’ validity.
