Yikes!
This tells us:
1) KT does have lawyers and he might not be afraid of using them. (depending)
2) His "Kevinfightsback" site has "happy" testimonials. My first thought was, maybe a couple are genuine, but lots of them could easily be faked. So...what does that do to the idea of getting REAL testimonials?
Has anyone actually READ the whole book? Is there anything in there that can be disproven? (I'm really curious now to see what it says, but I'd really hate to shell out real money for it...)
First and foremost, with regards to his customers' "happy testimonies," they mean about as much to me as a festering bowl of dog snot. Testimonial evidence in and of itself amounts to nothing more than a collection of highly subjective and anecdotal experiences, based on an individual's personal beliefs and expectations. For this reason alone, in the realms of genuine scientific investigation and critical thought, they have zero reliability with regard to measuring the accuracy and veracity of Mr. Trudueu's claims ---or ANY claims, for that matter.
For example, just because one person in your neighborhood "claimed" to have seen an alien spaceship, based on his or her own personal visual experience alone (mind you, with absolutey NO video taped or any other kind of substantiating physical evidence) doesn't necessarily mean that he or she did in fact "see" an alien spaceship. And even if more people from your
neighborhood saw the same thing in the sky at the same time, the increase in numbers alone doesn't necessarily make it all the more credible. Look at how many kids believe in Santa Clause flying through the sky with his reindeer.

And secondly, as a rationally sound and logically minded critical thinker, YOU CAN'T CRITICIZE WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW, plain and simple! Otherwise, your arguments become invalid and unsound, and fall into either the "straw man" and/or "ad hominem" fallacy categories.
Sorry for raising my voice, but I know exaclty how you feel. Try borrowing it from your local library, or if you have access to a Barnes and Noble or Border's Bookstore nearby, take a trip, buy yourself a cup of coffee and peruse through it at your leisure in the cafe section. But, of course, please don't piss your hard earned money away on this dufus.
As brutally agonizing of a colassol time waster as it was, for objectivity's sake, this is exactly what I did. Here's what I've found:
In his latest updated edition, surprisingly, he DOES indeed share some "natural cures" in his book for various ailments. Whether or not they actually do indeed work is a whole other story, but here's what cracked me up: When I turned to the "cancer" section, you want to know what he said? "If you have cancer, you need to see a qualified medical professional."
On the one hand, you've got to give him credit. This has got to be perhaps the most intelligent and responsible thing I've ever heard him say, but by the same token, does absolutely NOTHING to solidify his credibility as a "medical expert." To say something like that in a book that "claims" to have "natural cures" makes about as much sense like me writing a book on auto repair (and I have zero experience as an auto technician) that has a transmission repair section which simply states: "If you're having transmission trouble, you need to see a qualified transmission specialist."
Boy, would I be pissed to blow away $22.95 (plus 6% NJ sales tax) for some moron's book, hoping that he would share with me a natural cure for my testicular cancer, only to tell me I need to see a cancer specialist for that! Huh! The sales lady behind the counter could've told me that FOR FREE!
