Psychiatry is not a ‘science’. It is at best a set of techniques for trying to produce change in individuals, like a kind of engineering. Engineering is ‘technology’, not ‘science’. They do attempt to use science and research, but psychiatry is not now mostly about the ‘mind’; it is about trying to find drugs or other procedures or methods like TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) that will solve certain kinds of symptoms or cause some kind of positive change or relief in a person’s life.
TMS, bu the way, is/was an attempt to develop something that would impact the brains of depressed people in a less harmful way than ECT, with fewer ‘side-effects’. It is still being researched but apparently has produced a few positive results for some people. Really, this avenue was pursued because the medical/psychiatric community does know that ECT often causes some bad permanent effects. ECT does cause some brain damage, but unfortunately offers only temporary relief for many people so must be periodically repeated. Thus the adverse effects are cumulative.

Kemist, you are incorrect. Lobotomy is practiced even today. Certainly not as popular as it once was, and yes, even a good percentage of doctos consider it barbaric, but your assertion that it is not performed ever is blatantly false.

Mike – The severely mentally ill are SPs – and they maintain the strictest standards of dress and pretense to avoid being singled out as evil. The fundamental precedent cause of insanity seems to be hatred – fundamentally, not necessarily the immediate break. The level of rationality in that lower tone is limited. Hatred itself is an emotion, not necessarily an overt act, but there is some line beyond which hatred is acted upon, and evil is simply allowing hatred to turn into action – and communication is an action, which is usually the SPs primary weapon. – Carcha

Not sure what the meaning of this is?

I think you are asserting that my position is “Scientology does not work, it never did and it never can”?

If so, try to wrap your wits around this evaluative response: I think your Grade 4 is unflat.

No its all bad or do you not read the posts?

I was going to reply to that Mike but now I realise there really is no point at all.

You are correct.

Scientology does not work, it never did it never can.

Good luck mate.

The English “National Association for Mental Health” is a pro-patient organisation (today called “Mind”) which got infiltrated by the criminal organisation known as the “church” of $cientology. More in the book “Believe What You Like” (Andre Deutsch Limited, 1973, ISBN 0-233-96375-8)

So, hardly an anti-psychiatry orgnisation, but defintely an infiltration. Oh and the Co$ moved on to another sacred $cientology sacrement: the lawsuit.

I’m surprised you ask. The answer is in “$cience of Survival…”

Another interesting issue is the ability to now place a date on the volcanic activity which creates the Hawaiian Island chain. Mauna Loa and Mauna Koa are both on the ‘Big Island’ of the chain which is also the most recent.

So if you were one of the Zenu prisoners which got stuck there, you may want to review your history to figure out how you could be placed in a volcano that did not exist at the time. Oh well, just some careless detail to mess up an otherwise great story.
