Soap is antibacterial. Not as strong as bleach, but still effective for everyday bacteria like staph, e. coli & salmonella.

Kevin Trudeau is a huckster (linkie).

I understand that, the issue is that overuse is causing resistance to certain bacteria. So if you do not need it then do not, go back to the basics, such as Ivory for hands and bleach, or whatever, for cleaning.

Hi everyone :wavey:

This is really interesting

I just read Natural Cures by Kevin Trudeu. kevinfightsback.com
He has been on tv alot lately.
If I remember right, in his book he stated the reason the drug companies NEED to catagorize all of these problems as diseases now is because they now will own the market so to speak. Below I cut and pasted a portion from his website. It is already happening. There is law that is closing many homeopathic doctors, health food stores etc ..because if they try to tell you of a natural cure for a disease, they could be prosecuted. A health food store in our area was recently closed by the FDA because it supposidly offered medical claims or something to that nature. I heard this second hand from many people who knew the owners.

Here is a portion from his website. I don't know how accurate he is, but it's something to note possibly

According to a recent ABC News Story, people with “road rage” aren’t just angry about traffic. Now, people who cannot control their temper have a disease called Intermittent Explosive Disorder, or IED, and need to be treated with anti-depressants and mood stabilizing drugs.

IED was considered to be a relatively rare diagnosis, but a recently released study, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), claims that IED is much more widespread than originally thought and affects up to one in 20 people.

What does this mean?

If there are approximately 300 million people living in the United States[1], that works out to 15,000,000 people who, according to this report, have a disease that requires drug therapy. This is a glaringly obvious attempt by Big Pharma to engineer and hype a new reason to prescribe anti-depressants and mood stabilizers to millions of people.

Less obvious, but more sinister, implications of the study are the broad diagnostic criteria for IED and the early age-of-onset.

Dr. Emil Coccaro of the University of Chicago, one of the researchers who conducted the study, says that the people who likely have IED are “having low-level outbursts — screaming, shouting, slamming doors.”

In the report, the researchers propose that public schools take a central role in identifying children who are exhibiting symptoms of IED. “Given its earlier age-of-onset, identifying IED early — perhaps in school-based violence prevention programs — and providing early treatment might prevent some of the associated psychopathology.”[2] This opens the doors for schools to insist upon medicating children they label as disruptive.

I think Trudeau is a con artist. He wants to sell his books!

And I can tell you from having worked in a New Age health food store (before Christians started believing in some of the same stuff we did) that alternative healers make up and believe in stuff that doesn't exist so they can treat you and you can buy their stuff and get their "healing."
