I knew this guy was a shyster the first time I saw him! It never ceases to amaze me how so many people will follow some slick, smooth-talking pitch man and completely suspend their sense of logic and common sense.

There've been worthless con artists scamming people for centuries. This guy is yet another one of them.

FYI - Trudeau "won" a 2008 pigasus award from JREF (announced in April). Pigasus? Here tiz:

<span style="font-style: italic">Every year, on the appropriate date of April 1, the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) gives out the Pigasus Awards, a dubious honor to people or organizations that have done their best in the past year to snuff out science and promote irrationality. The award is named after the beloved mascot of the JREF because, after all, when paranormal powers are proven, pigs will fly.</span>

:laugh:

If Rowan and Martin were still around I'm sure he could have won the "Flying Fickle Finger of Fate" award too! LOL

Right, even to their graves.... remember the cult leader Jim Jones of Jonestown fame, wait, make that shame.
 
The sad part is that there are some kernels of truth that he cites off-handedly and erroneously which are discredited along with all the rest of the bunkum he sells. For example, he says calcium can cure cancer!! Well, studies have shown that cancer thrives in an acidic environment, and does not in an alkaline one...he makes the jump that calcium is an alkaline and therefore cures cancer!!
