I haven't read the book, but what specifically in the book is fraudulent? What does he say that he is totally untrue? Apparently he even makes a disclaimer at the beginning saying that he's no doctor. Cracking down on this guy is as stupid as buying this book and believing everything in it.
I've bought stupid books before too, but banning book it because you made a dumb decision is totally un-American. At least he isn't prescribing drugs that have more severe side effects than the disease you are trying to fix. The FDA isn't exacly gospel when it comes to medicine either. That's why we need ALL views of medicine so we can discern what type of route we want to take with our health.
If you want to crack down on fraud and corruption go after big pharma and government instead of this nobody.

I know he quoted some studies at one point, some supposedly conducted at the University of Calgary, that supported his quack cures. So a reporter called the University and they were like "Kevin who?". He made it up.
Dr. Joe Schwartz (who runs McGill University's Science department and is a noted radio show host and author) was on the radio this weekend just ripping this guy apart. He really felt Trudeau was evil. He said, you know, there are people who push alternative remedies who really believe the remedies work, and he understands that, even if he (Dr. Joe) doesn't agree - whereas Trudeau is fully aware that what he pushes is untrue, but pushes the snake oil anyway.
