L. Ron Hubbard on Medicine, Doctors and Cures

December 10, 2022 By Mike Rinder 43 Comments

  L. Ron Hubbard had a very jaundiced view of the medical profession and healing of disease and illness. He announced to the world that he had discovered the real causes and cures for virtually everything with Dianetics and proceeded to expand on his assertions from there all the way through the years in scientology and ultimately with the "New Era Dianetics for OT's." Never one to understate his accomplishments, Hubbard made numerous false claims about his "research" and "discoveries" which still form the "technology" of scientology used today. He proclaimed himself to have … [Read more...]

A Billion Years for Christmas and Kirstie Alley’s Death

December 6, 2022 By Mike Rinder 100 Comments

My thanks to Gallery Books for this ad in the New York Times Book Review this week. A book is an excellent gift for Christmas! Especially A Billion Years... Please keep that in mind as you do your holiday shopping for friends and family.   Kirstie Alley The passing of Kirstie was announced late last night by her children. A dedicated scientologist to the end, she did her best to smear me and Leah as all good scientologists do. But despite that, I have fond memories of Kirstie. She has never been anything but over-the-top outrageous and very funny. The only mention I make of … [Read more...]

More Hubbard on CANCER

August 6, 2022 By Mike Rinder 34 Comments

I wrote an earlier article: L. Ron Hubbard on Cancer It is hard to fathom that this subject does not get more attention. It is a well-known fact in scientology that the answer to any condition or disease is to get a PTS handling and auditing to solve the problem. Unfortunately, because of this, many scientologists only resort to doctors when it is too late. In order to stave off claims of practicing medicine without a license, Hubbard penned a few policies for PR purposes that say "we are not treating or healing diseases or illnesses," but those few statements are understood to be for … [Read more...]

Scientology and Cancer by Andy Porter

September 29, 2021 By Mike Rinder 41 Comments

I have known Andy Porter for many, many years. I had not heard from him in some time.  He was somewhat of a legend due to his work opening Russia and many of its former satellites to scientology. Andy spent many years defining the term “pioneer.” He was an unsung hero who did a lot of the REAL work behind the scenes that ended up being glorified in IAS Freedom Medal winner videos and other event presentations.   Andy now hails from the northwestern corner of Washington State where he lives with his wife and son.  He is an accomplished landscape photographer focused on capturing the … [Read more...]

Scientology Deaths and Suicides

July 27, 2020 By Mike Rinder 100 Comments

People are asking for our thoughts regarding recent tragic events. We can only offer facts about scientology teachings and our opinions on them -- we don’t have firsthand information concerning the details of Kelly Preston or Benjamin Keough’s deaths, though, when it comes to scientology and scientologists, there are other factors that come into play - factors that are contained in the “scripture” of scientology that give a particularly dark tint to these terribly sad events. The heartbreakingly unfortunate truth is people commit suicide every single day, and people die of breast cancer … [Read more...]

L. Ron Hubbard on Cancer

February 5, 2017 By Mike Rinder 278 Comments

This article was unearthed by my good friend Dave Richards, one of the most successful Executives in scientology history. I recalled reading it when it was first published, but had not been able to locate it since. It is a perfect example of the hypocrisy in scientology, and the "research" conducted by L. Ron Hubbard upon which he based his many absolutist (absurdist?) pronouncements. How does scientology square the fact that the ONLY cause of cancer, according to L. Ron Hubbard, is "a second-dynamic or sexual upset, such as the loss of children..." with their practice of forcing … [Read more...]
