Help for the Mentally Distressed

Mentally distressed people will have nowhere to turn. Their human rights will terminate on Scientology's ascension to power.

As mentioned earlier, Hubbard said in "Science of Survival" that people below 2.0 on his Emotional Tone Scale should be put away quietly, with no sorrow.

Help for the Physically Distressed

There will be no hospitals or medical personnel given Hubbard's disparagement of "medicos" and Scientology's viewpoint that all illness in greater or lesser extent stems for PTSness (described below).

Medical Standards

Scientology maintains that illness comes in greater or lesser extent from being under the influence of an suppressive person. The condition is called PTSness, which stands for Potential Trouble Source. So all illness is lumped into one indistinguishable category: PTSness.

Scientology subscribes to the non-germ theory of illness, but as yet has not revealed how it is that vaccinations have eradicated many horrible diseases such as polio, small pox, typhoid and whooping cough. Even Gene Denk, M.D., an OT 8 medical doctor, questioned Scientology's germ theory to this author by asking how vaccinations work if there is not such thing as germs. Does everyone in the world just suddenly become PTS at the same time? No. Expect to see pandemics of curable diseases come back.

Further, Scientology promotes Dianetics as a panacea. For example, on the subject of birthing, it advocates home births in conjunction with Dianetic techniques. It elevates its system of so-called preventative mental therapy above the physical well-being of its adherents.

This author's son is a casualty of this approach. Because of the Dianetic influence, he was intentionally allowed to be born at home by a chiropractic midwife and an OB/GYN physician. These medical personnel knew well in advance of birth my son's breech position and in contravention of medical laws and known medical practice which prohibit breech babies being born at home, they allowed it to occur.

As a result of two full days of false labor prior to a full day of true labor, he suffered severe brain trauma because the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck three times. This caused severe oxygen deprivation. If he had been delivered by caesarian section at the onset of the first day of labor, he would have been spared a life of hell.

Instead, thanks to the Dianetics approach, he spent the first weeks of his life at Children's Hospital on intravenous feedings and Phenobarbital, a barbiturate used as a sedative, a hypnotic, and an anticonvulsant, a drug that has been linked to lower IQ and drug addictions.

Further, "complications during birth, long labor, a breech position ... are associated with an increased risk of violent suicide for adult men."

Therefore, instead of having a mentally healthy baby, we were given the nightmare of a physically damaged baby with significant mental and behavioral problems. When the health and safety of the patient takes a back seat to philosophical ideas there is always disaster.

A second example is cancer, a common illness among upper level Scientologists. They are advised to buy "auditing" as a cure. To my knowledge, this has not resulted in any cures but, instead, these people have been prevented from seeking competent medical advice. In fact, there is some conjecture that the Scientology e- meter may have instigate cancer.

These people may have enjoyed longer lives, and even gone into remission, if they had been encouraged to seek competent medical help.

This author was told by a Scientology registrar that a broken wrist would heal in one month (instead of three months) if I bought 25 hours of auditing. The registrar used the logic that returning to work sooner would justify the expense. My wrist healed in three months, just like the doctor said, despite the 25 hours of auditing. This kind of "practicing medicine" is common in Scientology.

From my experience, it appears that Scientology would let you die rather than call 911 and possibly become embroiled in controversy.

While on staff, this author had an ovarian cyst that torsioned and nearly died because no staff member was willing to leave their post to take me to the hospital. This was due to the fear of getting into trouble for leaving post without permission. However, to get permission was not an easy matter. The old saying "it is easier to get forgiveness than permission" does not work in Scientology. Forgiveness is as hard to obtain as permission. By the time treatment was received, the cyst was on the verge of rupture.

With Scientology at the helm, expect to see an escalation of preventable diseases and deaths. Because universities will no longer exist, doctors will no longer be trained.

Your health will be in the hands of a hastily trained ethics officer who will tell you that your cigarette smoke allergy can be cured by taking up smoking; the electrical sensations in your neck and back aren't Lhermitte's Sign (an indication of a neurological problem), rather, it is the result of a "Marcabian implant"; the panic attacks you suffer aren't an allergy to Nutrasweet, rather it is the nervous hysteria that results from going past misunderstood words, a no-no in the world of Hubbardian education; fatigue comes from "failed purposes" instead of a failing thyroid; cancer can be cured with auditing; and other health problems are the result of your being under the influence of a suppressive person and the only needed treatment is "handling" for the PTS condition. (This author was "diagnosed" with all of these--except cancer.)

Others have had similar worries of what would happen if Scientology achieved its goal. Recommended reading is Imagine the New Scientology World Order, and another is Ken Rose's A Scientology World.

So if you don't want to reply to my posts, then that's your basic human rights, but please then don't start being abusive to me, because I don't play them sort of childish agrressive games. I have not got the time and energy to argue with you or anyones else on AFF. So as I said let it be and please don't respond to any of my posts and I'll show you the same respect and do the same.
'END OF MATTER'!!
