I don't support Scientology, either, but this video is worth watching. I think it needs to be understood that while the suffering, the visions, all of this is real, it has real causes, often due to emotional/social stresses, being asked to conform to too much, and by lack of nutrition or chemicals in your environment. This all needs to be addressed as well as the very real fact that there is very little to no support through difficult life transitions and finding yourself. I think challenging psychiatry is very important, because the common theme seems to be that there is not something wrong with the way we are living, but something wrong with our brains that makes us sad, etc. On a whole this does not bear out, just look at the statistics for children in state housing, or the fact that PTSD effects those who have been abused, raped, gone to war.

As you know, Chris, this is a topic very important to me. It is complicated, too, because I really understand why one would be coerced or even choose these drugs sans any other alternative(if they even exist). But it's really putting short term over long term recovery.

If you are interested in this topic, I suggest checking out psychetruth and bipolarorwakingup on youtube. I also have a few videos I can send you. Take care.

Great you put this up man. Is very important. Hope you are checking out my blog about this--I am on IT, 'Anti-psychiatry, Scientology, and Psychedelic Healing' http://intothefaerywoods.blogspot.com

because I am very much into exposing the massive abuse of the mental illness myth, yet ALSo am aware that the Church of Scientology is also known for control freakery, and abuse. So it can feel wrong them showing concern for peoples freedom with what THEY get up to. Their very powerful presence on the antipsychiatric fron, I am sure can do more harm than good, precisely because of their bad reputation.
They are also irrationally opposed to LSD, and I should imagine all the potential of psychedelic healing. As people whould know spiritual healing with entheogens goes right back to the beginnings. So for this jumped up org founded by an 'ex' sci fi writer claiming only they are the answer is freakin BS!

Keep it up man. This is such an important issu, as this myth is central controlling myth of our times. And it now has millions of children in his iron fist!
