A New York Times report Monday raised concerns about former Gov. Mike Huckabee's business practices. Some of the examples listed in the report were a medically-questionable "diabetes cure" he peddled and ads on his email list telling people to hoard food.

These methods aren't the only way Huckabee has made money since leaving office. Huckabee promotes "FREE" DVD programs that have recurring charges hidden away in the fine print. Huckabee promoted the programs on his popular Fox News show and on his Facebook page. The programs are made by the company Learn Our History, which Huckabee co-founded. The company is part of EverBright Media

BuzzFeed News previously reported that Huckabee repeatedly pushed an ad to his email list for a secret biblical cancer cure, sent out with the subject line: "Why is THIS Bible verse changing atheists' minds?" (Huckabee has not responded to voicemails left on his phone or emails to an email address associated with him).

Other emails have subject lines like "Revealed! The one thing that could take down Obama… Finally," and "Obama's FDA cover-up could cost you your life." The ads carry a disclaimer that it might not reflect Huckabee's views but the ads are sent out by him.

Mike Huckabee will often promote "free" DVDs on his Facebook page.
