John Travolta's Brother Says, "Jett Was Autistic"

Joey Travolta, brother of John Travolta and Uncle to Jett Travolta created an award winning documentary on Autism and often pleaded with brother John to seek treatment for Jett.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston have long denied evidence that their son Jett had autism. Even after his death from a violent convulsion, the parents continued to claim their son suffered from seizures brought on by "mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome" (Kawasaki Syndrome).

But health experts state there is no link between KS and seizures. although it commonly occurs for sufferers of Autism if left untreated.

Kawasaki Syndrome is a treatable disorder that occurs in infants and children under age five - causing rashes & high fever. The illness is rarely seen in children older than 8 years old, it lasts for about 5 days with aspirin treatment & immune globulin (blood transfusions).

John Travolta's older brother Joey (Joseph) Travolta believed that Jett suffered from autism, which can cause violent seizures and result in death.

Joey had formed the group Actors for Autism, which helps autism sufferers make films about their lives and experiences. He first learned about the disorder as he interviewed some 65 autistic youngsters while producing the Award-Winning Documentary ('Normal People Scare Me'), but his brother John continued to dismiss autism.

The London Mirror reported many Travolta Brothers arguments were caused by discussing Jett Travolta's illness. A close friend to Joey Travolta, informed the Mirror that Joey and John often argued about what was wrong with Jett ...

"Joey could see Jett in every one of those 65 kids he spoke to (for the film.) It was so obvious Jett was autistic just from spending five minutes with him, but the cruel fact of their religion meant his parents simply did not accept it."

Kelly Preston believed that Kawasaki Syndrome and her son's seizures were caused by a common household carpet-cleaner. She had recently placed Jett into a dangerous Scientology detox program and then credited it with healing her son.

John Travolta's neighbor Tim Kenny, the father of a 4-year-old autistic girl stated that Travolta was in denial, "Scientology is keeping him from acknowledging his son's autism. They see it as a weakness - an embarrassment".

It was painfully obvious that Jett Travolta was autistic. He lacked any real communicative abilities or constructive thinking, constantly requiring a caretaker and being lead by the hand like a toddler. Jett was often confused by his surroundings and required a live-in caretaker/nanny (Jeff Kathrein).

In response to criticisms that John Travolta refused to give his son anti-seizure medication; Scientology lawyer Michael McDermott cited that Depakote (a medication for bi-polar disorder that helps mild epilepsy) was administered until the drug lost its effectiveness.

This writer wonders, "Why wasn't a better or alternative medication provided?" - "Is being faithful to your religion worth losing your child?"

I don't think Joey actually said that Jett was "autistic" or did I miss a source? In any case, what's the relevance of this statement. Jett Travolta died from a seizure despite the fact that he was on anti-seizure medication for years:  

"We now know Jett Travolta was taking a drug called Depakote, a strong anti-seizure medication. There have been reports Travolta refused to give his son anti-seizure meds because of Scientology but those stories are not true."

@lesley,

The article goes on to say they took him off the depakote more than a year ago and didn't replace it with any other anti-seizure medication... as would be usual in a case like this.
Your comment is really about putting a pro-scientology spin on the possibly needless death, right?

Depakote is a medication for bi-polar disorder, acute mania and (depending on which type) helps with mild epilepsy.  Side effects are raised levels of toxicity in the liver and birth defects in pregnant women - not seizures and death.

Kawasaki Syndrome is a rash & fever disorder that affects children under the age of 5 to 8, it is easily cured with aspirin & blood transfusion and does not cause seizures nor lead to anything which will cause seizures.

Jett Travolta was autistic, which means he lives with seizures and as autism goes died from a seizure.

@Tommy, so how come scientology is currently charged with "physically" practicing medicine without a license in France?
What about Linda Walicki and Jeremy Perkins, both removed from their medications at scientology's behest with disastrous results? Is it OK because their problems weren't "physical"?

This is what is wrong with our kids so jett died needlessly

jett was around 2yr's old when john Say's he almost lost him that is around the time of 24 mo's shots did jet receive any? doe's his religion allow them???

Im sending you this, and then I will send you the proof that an American medical -association Blue ribbon panel study warning about Thimerosal that was ignored twice.

With this final statement just before the lead researcher died: quote from Dr. Engley "if they had followed through on our 82 report the vaccines would have been freed of thimerosal and all this autism they tell me would not have occurred" you cannot get any more clearer than that
This book was written in 1953 Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society
I am not saying that most of the main stream medical community believed in this mind set of a step ford society but someone must have, because they ignored many warnings of toxicity and inefficacy and we find in 2008 they did exactly what he said they would do
Russell being quoted as saying we would put mercury in vaccines, and other compounds to produce a partial lobotomized state  If this was done, they did not anticipate the mercury from other sources AKA as coal fired plants and mothers body burden,also forest fires that produce mercury 
In the next statement that Russell makes keep in mind the every child by two organization.  They have vaccine makers on their board CBS recently brought this to light,  And we wonder what happened to the kids, with all that we are seeing in greed on the regular pharma scandals.   We think that the leopard changes it spots when it come to children's vaccines, but may I remind you that every vaccine that is put in the children's schedule represents Billions, so now you can see why me being 50 yr's had only 2 shots that it's now 66 by the time a child is 18 that is $$$66 Billion reasons and their has never been any research on multiple vaccines interacting to see if we are damaging our own kids.   The system is truly out of control.  I do not recall any add adhd speech delay or autism when I went to school 
Russell
who advocated the use of vaccines to induce partial chemical lobotomies and create a servile zombie population,
"Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible." - Bertrand Russell, “The Impact of Science on Society”, 1953, pg 49-50
1953Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society: "...the subject which will be of most importance politically is Mass Psychology.... The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen. As yet there is only one country which has succeeded in creating this politician’s paradise.”11
I wrote this minister because a family was not able to go to church any more because the child was banned, because he was spitting and hitting other people basically acting like an animal.    Just like my child and many more hundreds of thousands around the U.S. while the CDC says it's just better Dag. and greater awareness as our schools go broke, by the way my son was just Dag 3 yr's ago he is now 18 yr's old, also one of the signs of metal toxicity is excessive saliva and aggression
I am not saying that most of the main stream medical community believed in this mind set of a step ford society but someone must have, because they ignored many warnings of toxicity and inefficacy and we find in 2008 they did exactly what he said they would do
This was written in 1953 and the current main stream medical community has followed it like a recipe.    The people who wanted a kind of step-ford society did not anticipate the mothers body burden of mercury or coal powered plants emitting mercury.  This caused a toxic tipping point and 1 in 6 kids having a neurological learning disorder 1 - 150 children with autism 1 in 92 being boys. In MN the numbers are worse 1 - 82 children 1 - 60 maybe 20 something boys interestingly a  4  - 1 ratio boys to girls guess what else shares a  4 - 1 ratio, mercury poisoning.
we cannot change the fact that the book was written, and he said it and they did it
sincerely

Wow!  A person's blind-faith caused them to make poor decisions about the future of their loved ones?  Gee wiz, that's never happened before. 

Jett was just another victim of religion, history is *FULL* of them.  The story here is not Jett's death  nor his autism but that his parents are devoutly religious celebrities.  So what?

 Travolta's controversy is that he chose an unapproved religion to base his lame decisions on. Most celebrities bow at the alter of liberalism which results in very poor decisions for every child in the country.

John I hope I can get your atten on this.

read down and you will find that the CDC knew  (Kawasaki Syndrome). was mercury poisoning all along. just like autism, it all has to do with the Mitochondria and depletion of the glutathione.

If thimerosal was responsible for jetts disease it was for no benefit according to the AMA blue ribbon panel from 1948, John If I could get 1 hour of your time you would want to see the dismantling of the CDC when you heard what I know, in fact you would demand it. The people in the CDC do not care about our children, just a fatally failed vaccine program that is making more sick children than it's doing good. 

1948 warning by a AMA study Thimerosal useless for an antimicrobial toxic down to one one millionth of a gram, he Dr. Engley suggested to remove it from everything,  the lead researcher said "It's as toxic as it gets"

So let's get this straight, Thimerosal being used and being kept in flu vacc's, serves no purpose. This is the lead researcher words not mine AMA study Thimerosal useless for an antimicrobial toxic down to one one millionth of a gram

This next quote may be repeated several times, through out this post because of the Importance of them not listening and the
damage done to many children.   Such as Johns precious Jett
for they were warned several times and they continued to hurt
the innocent, all the while knowing the immense toxicity of thimerosal. And that is without the mercury and aluminum
being considered  I will bet you did not know that mercury and aluminum react violently together.
And by the way CDC, just What is something that reacts violently doing in a child's vaccine?.  We were told there is nothing more dangerous that lemon juice.
Schools don't evacuate, for dropping a lemon and releasing lemon juice. Can the CDC say the same about a thermometer and mercury?
And on the Thimerosal MSDS sheet under reactivity It's warns you to stay away from aluminum.  Kinda hard since it's used as a catalyst in children's vaccines.  Warning given to lilly in 1972.
From Eli Lilly documents  1972 British Medical Journal reports case of skin burns resulting from the chemical interaction of thimerosal and aluminum. "Mercury is known to act as a catalyst and to cause aluminum to oxidize rapidly, with the production of heat." "The manufacturers who supply us with thimerosal have been informed." [Thimerosal is being used in vaccines which also contain aluminum]. they were talking about this at the simpson wood meeting the synergy effect of the two salts mixed mercury salts and aluminum salts the killing factor x 10 example were you would kill 100 cells with mercury alone with aluminum mixed you will now kill 1000 cells, it seems to turn into a super toxin.   They have no excuse for this kind of incompetence, this is the kind of stupidity that's destroyed so many children and to date has destroyed so many family's including the Travolta's.
Just before this courageous researcher died he set the record straight, another quote from Dr. Engley and probably the most important of all that truly shows how the CDC, FDA, AAP, IOM, and the NIH, all were asleep at the switch for decades. And even to present, QUOTE"if they had followed through on our 82 report the vaccines would have been freed of thimerosal and all this autism they tell me would not have occurred" My son was born in 1990 if they had listened to the report and followed through, John Jett would be alive today and maybe piloting your plane. Also my son would be playing football in school instead he is being babysitted in school with the mental capacity of a about a two yr old thanks CDC FDA AAP IOM you truly are serving the people well.
After not heeding to the AMA Blue ribbon panel warning since 1982 we wonder why they just don't admit it. It's self evident the damage is so immense they cannot, for they are afraid of the total lose of the vaccine program.  To a point they were willing to poison children to keep the numbers up after removing thimerosal from the regular schedule. For that is when CDC Dir Gerberding said pregnant women were at risk for flu complications, and children 6 mo's to 2 yr's also. So she removed it and then put it back immediately, and then has the guts to say we took it out of the children's vaccines and autism is still increasing. All the while knowing this

ask your self why this preservative Thimerosal is still in the flu shots and given to preg. women at all trimesters with all this damning information, also Thimerosal is in the shots given to collage kids and some teens in full amounts as the 90's children's schedule.
Rep. Holland ,  if you were to show this excerpt from the MSDS of thimerosal this to a Dr. or Ped. they would tell you this is on organic mercury not thimerosal but if you knew what to say, that thimerosal not methylmercury was found to turn into inorganic mercury at 2.5 times that of methylmercury in the brain, and stays in the brain for a year or longer. Also the NIH paid study from Thomas Burbacher, Inorganic mercury more damaging than organic, Rep.  they would suddenly have to run along because most of the mainstream Dr. or Ped. do not do their own research they rely on the CDC and parrot every word as if they were reading from a book.
Why was an AMA blue ribbon panel ignored in 1948? And why have the warnings and studies continued to be ignored for sixty years? Three generations? The answer is simple: $$66 Billion  and ???
I sent this to a senator and a reporter or two,
Patrick I sent this to a reporter because the reporter done a story on autism and she was pregnant, also the CDC lied to her and said pregnant women and children do not receive flu shots containing thimerosal.
This was my letter to her!
You said you trust the CDC that they were telling the truth, would you trust ENRON ???
On what you said about it is no longer a threat because it's trace amounts now, here's what an expert said that has researched thimerosal all his life. a quote from Dr. Engley "if they had followed through on our 82 report the vaccines would have been freed of thimerosal and all this autism they tell me would not have occurred" you cannot get any more clearer than that
Here's something the CDC doe's not want you to know about reduced and thimerosal free.
His toxicity studies of mercurials in human tissue culture revealed the mercurials were extremely toxic for human cells and the Thimerosal -- the most active, toxic down to the nanogram. The amounts of mercury have gone down "but vaccines still have 100 times that amount when they are in preservative free and reduced thimerosal vaccines" Quote from  Dr. Frank Engley
I copied and pasted a lot of this to get this to you ASAP 
Asking the CDC to investigate this would be the same as asking ENRON to investigate ENRON the thieves and the cowards will always lie, after all how do you admit you are responsible for a lost, dumb down generation that cannot compete with the world on education.

For children with delays in administration of all 3 doses of DPT, the risk of developing asthma was decreased by 60%. The reduction in asthma risk for the second and third doses mainly resulted from the delay in the first dose.  Pretty simple vaccines cause asthma, It seems every child by two was maybe the second biggest mistake we ever made.  putting mercury in vaccines for children that is still the biggest by far
child hood diabetes
and the list goes on !!!!
what do all these kids have in common ?
Answer Vaccines
To many  66 by age 18
To soon starting at birth
To many toxins  mercury aluminum msg antifreeze just to name a few.
Vaccinating this way is the same as putting a loaded revolver to our children's heads and playing Russian roulette with five in the chamber no autism, but one brain disorder for life. (If this is all true and it all is then John Jett died needlessly, where is the outrage and righteous anger from this nation for the destruction of this nations most precious resource needlessly for no benefit)
Kind of stupid considering later you will read  it was found to be useless as an antimicrobial but the damage is done. And the poor child that gets the autism bullet or in jetts case gets the Kawasaki's Disease bullet will cost states. Not the federal gov. 3.2 to 5 million each for something that never even worked. I am getting sick to my stomach just writing about this atrocity. Again you need to see this America, your children and  your  grandchildren was hurt for no benefit!  Nada Zip None
1948 warning by a AMA study, Thimerosal useless for an antimicrobial toxic down to one one millionth of a gram, he Dr. Engley suggested to remove it from everything,  the lead researcher said "It's as toxic as it gets"  THE WARNING WAS IGNORED  How do we go from remove, it to pack it in?
1982 Repeated warning From Dr. Engley Same warnings   again THE WARNING WAS IGNORED
At that time the rate of Autism was one in ten thousand.
Moving forward to 1999 more vaccines more mercury and aluminum and other compounds, and toxins the rate of Autism one in every five hundred children.
Moving forward to 2002 even more vaccines more mercury, and aluminum,other compounds and toxins
rate of Autism one in every two hundred and fifty children.
moving forward to 2004 the rate of Autism an astounding one in every one hundred sixty six children.
Moving forward to present in 2008 in Minnesota the Autism rate is one in every eighty two children and if the four to one ratio boys affected more than girls applies to Minnesota that means one in every twenty something boys maybe effected. For we now know it's 1 in 28 somali children born in the US has autism and they believe it's because of the double vaccines they get also they say we don't have autism in our country it's an American disease. America pay attention to the next statement and think of what it is saying.
The fools don't know when to stop, maybe when we cannot defend this country, because all the boys have a mentality of a three or four year old, they will think about that very stupid statement We cannot rule out that this maybe happening to a small subset group of children. It doe's appear under the watchful eye of the CDC that small subset grew and grew all the while the CDC said we don't know if it's a real increase or not. 1979 1 in 10,000 1999 1 in 500 2002
1 in 250 2004 1 in 166 today 1 in 82 children  it's real alright!
I believe our school districts can refute that, with the astronomical amount their spending on the autistic and the add adhd speech delayed and bipolar, explosive disorders, and the list goes on
This is the FDAs own words not mine.
But an FDA officer said it best in an email obtained through the FOIA act to another colleague " were afraid the public will perceive us asleep at the switch for decades for allowing this dangerous compound to remain in the vaccines"
They were talking about thimerosal, the next paragraph is a scientist that has nothing to gain either way and his teams findings.   Just before he died he Dr. Engley set the record straight on thimerosal, you see a person dieing has nothing to lose.  But if you are the CDC that has poisoned a generation of children,  It's a little embarrassing that on your watch we lost a generation of children.   Dr. Egan from CBER he is from an arm of the CDC and the NIH was being asked by Congressman Burton why is it, Dr. Egan that there has not been any research done on thimerosal since 1929 and the only research was done on 22 people dieing of meningitis and they all died.  And we do not know if it was safe or not.  This man that was so sure of him self, after Congressman Burton said Dr. Egan on your watch we lost a generation of children.   This man that was so cocky became like a worm, he could not answer the congressman.  He could not speak his eyes were as big as saucers, it took two women from health and human services to escort him out of the building. Valerie Williams a reporter from Dallas TX was at that hearing and when Dr. Egan came out escorted by two women from health and human services, she stuck the microphone in his face and ask why is it Dr. Egan that there has not been any research done on thimerosal since 1929 and the only research was done on 22 people dieing of meningitis.  He was catatonic a woman from health and human services said if you want to Know anything else, contact our press office.  If he had done nothing and was not guilty why the sudden transformation  From super Doc. to a worm in a catatonic state ???
From 1948 AMA paid for study, since it's toxicity has never been studied by the FDA
I contacted the CDCs own toxicologist and asked how they could allow this to happen and they responded we were told to stay away from toxicity issues of thimerosal. You see you do not find what your not looking for.
This is Dr. Engley and his research teams findings 
"We found thimerosal is toxic down to a level that is almost unbelievable. Down to 1.10, maybe 100 nanograms...a millionth of a gram and that is about as toxic as you can get," he said." But the FDA, and the CDC did not listen.  200 PPB is liquid toxic waste the children from the 90's, some received 32,500 Parts Per Billion at one setting on one day. And we wonder what happened to the kids. "Dr. Frank Engley was a retired chairman and professor of Microbiology at the University of Missouri. (and also was a very courageous man)
The verstreatens study, was if a child receives  62.5 micrograms of Thimerosal by age 3 mos that child has a 2.48 times risk of receiving add, adhd, speech delay, or autism, and apparently now were finding out Kawasaki's Disease should be in there to.
keep in mind some children received 9 vaccines on 1 day 7 of which contained the thimerosal that is 162.5 micro grams. Example congressman Burtons grandson, 9 vaccines on 1 day 7 of which contained the thimerosal in two days full blown Autism. Also example, Hannah Polling 9  vaccines on 1 day and she was destroyed so what I am getting at is, If 62.5 at 3 mos can cause a 2.48 times risk, what can 162.5 micrograms in 1 day at 1 setting ? maybe 11 times risk, and from what I get by reading the simpsonwood meeting, is they were worried about 62.5 being  2.48 times risk because 2.0 is legal meaning you have proved causation I guess with proving at 2.00 causation 11 times is proving mass poisoning?.  Listen up America before you have no children left ! And by the way childrens vaccines are now made in CHINA That should get your Atten.
This was taken from the actual report
It is clear from this research supported by a grant from the American
Medical Association that Thimerosal is neither efficacious nor safe, and should be removed as a preservative in prescription biologics and pharmaceutical products, as well as from topical over-the-counter products such as Butt-Balm that have Thimerosal present in their formulations as an active ingredient. like I said you cannot hear this last statement enough.
Just before this courageous researcher died he set the record straight, another quote from Dr. Engley and probably the most important of all that truly shows how the CDC, FDA, AAP, IOM, and the NIH, all were asleep at the switch for decades. And even to present, QUOTE"if they had followed through on our 82 report the vaccines would have been freed of thimerosal and all this autism they tell me would not have occurred" My son was born in 1990 if they had listened to the report and followed through my son would be playing football in school  and John your son could be flying with you  or better yet  flying younow for this mans credientals Who was this courageous researcher that apparently loved children, here are the credentials of this great man Dr.Frank Engley studied thimerosal as far back as 1942. Dr. Engley is responsible for the 4 year School of Medicine at the University of Missouri. He has consulted for the CDC, IOM, NASA, FDA, EPA, CIA, AAMI, USP, Armed Forces Epidemiological boards, Army, Navy, Air Force as well as Director of research grants and training grants for NIH. Engley Served on the Council of the NIH Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and a consultant on many Epidemiological Boards too many to list. Dr. Engley has been a visiting Professor in over 40 foreign countries medical schools. He has produced films, written text books, Laboratory Manuals, over 100 publications, served on editorial boards for numerous scientific journals and periodicals, including four American, two British and one German. Engley is certified by the American Board of Micro Biology and served as the Chair of the Laboratory of American Public Health Association. He has been listed in American Men and Women of Science, Who’s Who in America, Who’s Who in American Education, Who’s Who among Consultants and Who’s Who in the World. I can't imagine a man acompleshing this much and not listening to him.  His toxicity studies of mercurials in human tissue culture revealed the mercurials were extremely toxic for human cells and the Thimerosal -- the most active, toxic down to the nanogram. The amounts of mercury have gone down but vaccines still have 100 times that amount when they are in preservative free and reduced thimerosal vaccines.
Now who do we listen to ? a man who is nearing the end of his life and has nothing to gain, or the CDC's Paul Offit vaccine sales man extraordinaire with a vacc. patent that he will not even disclose how much money he has made off the broken bodies of little children.  He did say it was like winning the lotto though
Dr. paul Offit who wrote the book( Autisms false prophets )
Keep in mind the couragous Dr. Engley would be considered a autism false prophet in this mans eyes.
We in the autism community call him Dr. Proffit  I call him Dr. Proffit  vaccine salesman extrordinaire
Two of my favorite quotes from him are :

"A child could recieve 100,000 vaccines"
Also
"I don't think full disclosure is a good idea"  After learning whats in vaccines no doubt why he said that
As a parents we should demand full disclosure

What he was talking about was how much info. parents should know about the ingredients of vaccines.
So from that quote I get he wants to hide any damage done to our kids  
FOOD FOR THOUGHT this was taken from a book from  1953  Russell being quoted as saying we would put mercury in vaccines, and other compounds to produce a partial lobotomized state Seems this old boy knew 1953 what mercury could do to a child's brain

Urine mercury levels in Kawasaki disease.
Orlowski JP, Mercer RD.
Six patients with diagnostic criteria for Kawasaki disease had
abnormally high urinary excretions of mercury. They were compared by
age, sex, and geographic location with matched controls. Improvement
of one patient was temporally related to chelation of mercury with
penicillamine. There are numerous clinical similarities between acrodynia and Kawasaki disease and the appearance of the
mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (Kawasaki disease) has been related
temporally and geographically to environmental pollution with
mercury. The mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (Kawasaki disease) may
represent a disease caused by environmental pollution with mercury,
or clinical symptoms compatible with Kawasaki disease may indicate environmental exposure to mercury.
PMID: 7432853
acrodynia -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia
In infants and young children, a disorder known as acrodynia, or “pink disease,” is believed to be caused by an organic mercury compound, ...
If organic can cause it and we now know inorganic is the worse compound you can deplete the glutathion with then Thimerosal is causing all our children's chronic diseases.  for they all seem to be tied to the depletion of the glutathion which is the mercury transport for the removal of mercury from our children's bodies.
Also you lose CDC your last study claiming thimerosal clears the blood in 3 to 7 days was trash like we now know all your studies were
because thimerosal targets the organs of the body
per. MSDS of thimerosal and a Sigma Aldrich deposition the exec. was asked what does thimerosal do? The exec. reluctantly says it targets
the body in particular the brain and the lining around the brain.  Also this   Researcher says that pediatrics association misused his study on thimerosal to wrongly claim ethyl mercury safer than methyl
Not so fast, says Thomsas Brubacher, M.D., a scientist who studies the biological effects of ethyl mercury on primates. "Just because it came out of the blood doesn't mean it is excreted from the body. It could have gone to the brain. In primates, you actually get more mercury in the brain after exposure to ethyl mercury than with methyl mercury - it has an easier time crossing the blood brain barrier.
 As the dad of a severly vaccine damaged child
I would like to ask
Folks at the CDC just how do you sleep nights?
where is your concience and integrity? for Gods sake these are innocent children
[link edited for length] 0130/vaccine-mercury-leaves-blood-fast
Ex head of NIH Dr. healey ;What we’re seeing in the bulk of the population: vaccines are safe," said Healy. "But there may be this susceptible group. The fact that there is concern, that you don’t want to know that susceptible group is a real disappointment to me. If you know that susceptible group, you can save those children. If you turn your back on the notion that there is a susceptible group… what can I say?"
How can a susceptible group be 1 in 82 children with a 4 to 1 ratio boys to girls????
 
Dr. Bernadine Healy is the former head of the National Institutes of Health, and the most well-known medical voice yet to break with her colleagues on the vaccine-autism question.
In an exclusive interview with CBS News, Healy said the question is still open.
"I think that the public health officials have been too quick to dismiss the hypothesis as irrational," Healy said.
"But public health officials have been saying they know, they've been implying to the public there's enough evidence and they know it's not causal," Attkisson said.
"I think you can't say that," Healy said. "You can't say that."
Healy goes on to say public health officials have intentionally avoided researching whether subsets of children are “susceptible” to vaccine side effects - afraid the answer will scare the public.
"You're saying that public health officials have turned their back on a viable area of research largely because they're afraid of what might be found?" Attkisson asked.
Healy said: "There is a completely expressed concern that they don't want to pursue a hypothesis because that hypothesis could be damaging to the public health community at large by scaring people. "First of all," Healy said, "I think the public’s smarter than that. The public values vaccines. But more importantly, I don’t think you should ever turn your back on any scientific hypothesis because you’re afraid of what it might show."
Now read something I have put together from history on a susceptible group.
 
Those who don't learn from history are destined to repeat history.
 
This is proof we had mercury sensitive children in the 1900's to 1950's.
it was not vaccines then it was in teething powders for children with mercury in them.
 
        This was sent to several people ignore the names
 
I sent this to a senator
Patrick please take the time to read this, I took the time to hunt an peck it out and copy and paste.   You can make history, on this so important subject and stop the needless mass poisoning of American children and the children of the world. And even better you could be an important link that helps get these kids better for they and the families are truly suffering.  You will read this excerpt later "(In fact, only 1 in 500 children exposed to the teething powders developed the disease).
In 1950 authoritative British medical opinion was still cautious about the mercury hypothesis-an understandable caution, yet responsible, as it turned out, for the prolongation of the epidemic, with uncountable cost in human and financial terms, for several years later"
200 to 400 billion every year in the next 10 years for the life time care cost that was said 5 yr's ago.  We just bailed out wall street to the tune of 700 billion one time bailout.  lets use common sense here can we afford $200 to $400 billion every year? for the life time care of a lost generation.   keep in mind they just announced they need 21 more years, but before that press release in another press release they are saying that they were canceling a chelation study on autism because it is to dangerous but when you read this Email you will soon learn they are lying. Because it is very embarrassing every time a child is recovered from something that they say is not possible. 
Seems to me arrogancy is costing American children their lives and the US an astronomical amount of money sound familiar ?  Pinks with uncountable cost in
human and financial terms, for several years later"   Don't you think we should learn by now from history ? and if the CDC is poisoning children should they not be accountable ?
Patrick this also was sent to a reporter, this is on the history of mercury poisoning from teething powders and Pinks.  Which also because of the route of exposure is a much worse problem is vaccineal induced autism and other childhood chronic disease by thimerosal exposure.  Remember Pinks was ingested mercury, it goes through the body's defence mechanisms, the filtering organs.  Vaccineal goes full strength to the brain and the lining around the brain the reference on this truth is from a deposition by Sigma Aldrich, in it the executive explains very reluctantly that thimerosal targets the organs of the body especially the brain and the lining around the brain
I have this in a video, the CDC is trying to defend the indefensible mercury is and according to 1953 and way before is and always has been very toxic and this vaccineal mercury according to Dr. Burbacher NIH paid for studies is more than twice as toxic as the fish or AKA methyl mercury vaccineal is ethyl mercury.  This was sent to another reporter I'm forwarding it to you Mrs Daues.  Tom I am fixing to tear apart your little world that there is no scientific studies linking Thimerosal to autism, just think of mitochondria dysfunction disorder, google it and find that the very cause is, toxins such as in vaccines.  "Vaccinations contain at least four neurotoxin: mercury, formaldehyde, MSG and aluminum hydroxide. Researchers at the University of British Columbia have been looking at the possible effects of the fourth item in this list. They injected mice with anthrax vaccine containing aluminum hydroxide. After 20 weeks studying the mice, the team found statistically significant increases in anxiety (38 percent); memory deficits (41 times more errors than the sample group); and allergic skin reaction (20 percent).
On autopsy, brain tissue samples showed that 35 percent of the cells were in the process of destroying themselves
.
According to Chris Shaw, lead researcher for the project, his research shows a link between aluminum hydroxide and symptoms of Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Lou Gehrig's disease. "No one in my lab wants to get vaccinated," he said

To date 29 young girls given the HPV have died but according to the CDC they could not make a connection to the vaccine. 29 healthy girls given the HPV just drop dead hm!.  Again I would not ask Enron to investigate them selves, also since we know the danger to the neurons that is posed by aluminum one should ask the FDA why they allowed the vaccine maker Merck to put in the placebo the same amount of aluminum as in the vaccine.  It seems maybe they knew they would have more damage from the aluminum than the main engriedent in the vaccine, and the aluminum present in the placebo would drowned out any association in other words any severe reactions would be happening in both the vaccine and the placebo and they could say there is no difference in the vaccine and the placebo.
Just a thought the HPV for little girls has by the time they receive the three doses 700 micrograms of aluminum with what Chris Shaw found you know a little thing like neuron cell death it does appear we are assaulting their little brain with neuron warfare what do you want to bet it will show up later in Oh! I don't know maybe early onset Parkinson's, or Alzheimer's.  It seems the FOOLS never learn
"This totally creeped us out. We weren't out there to poke holes in vaccines. But all of a sudden, oh my God-we've got neuron death!" ([link edited for length]).
According to Chris Shaw; lead researcher, his research shows a link between aluminum hydroxide and symptoms of Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Lou Gehrig's disease. "No one in my lab wants to get vaccinated.  Just a thought, we could learn from this statement From a scientist's that knows, and not just those spouting CDC propaganda as most are. Who try to defend putting toxic chemicals in our children's vaccines.
A NIH study from Thomas Burbacher on Thimerosal and primates, if it works the same turns into ethyl mercury then it enters the brain of the child and it metabolizes into inorganic mercury. And research has shown that the most damaging to the mitochondria that depletes the glutathione is, inorganic mercury and monosodium glutamate (MSG, added to many Asian foods) I will bet MSG in children's vaccines is far worse than indicated MSG may also exacerbate a mitochondrial disorder.  So Tom it seems that we may have stumbled upon what autism really is and maybe the much worshipped FLU vaccine is causing the symptoms of Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Lou Gehrig's disease. And I would be willing to bet that's where chronic fatigue syndrome is coming from.  For you see we have always had a subset group that cannot dump heavy metals just do a google on Pinks disease it was one in five hundred children that contracted the disease Pinks which turned out to be mercury poisoning through teething powders the next statements are from history and you could exchange the word pinks for autism and you would have today's headlines but these are from history on pinks. It was affecting one in five hundred children. It seems we had as the CDC puts it, a subset group that was vulnerable even back then. It seems we are repeating history. But unlike those children who got better and recovered,after the doctor's reported the drug of choice was chelating. Today our children aren't given the same chance to get better.  The cure that was once used is now conveniently called anecdotal evidence and voo doo . If it worked then, it will work now. If it was not dangerous then, it's not dangerous now. Please look at this historical document entitled "The rise and fall of Pink Disease". And please keep in mind that pink disease was contracted through oral ingestion of Mercury. Where as our children today are injected with Mercury. Oral ingestion travels through the bodies organs that filters out Mercury. And injected Mercury by-passes those filtering organs. In the article below just remove the word Pinks and insert the word Autism and you will have today's disaster in a man made disease just like Pinks was and today it is a very well accepted as to the origin of the disease is being mercury poisoning.                    This document below is from history
 
Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, London.This paper explores the social and medical history and context of pink
disease (acrodynia), a serious disease of infants and young children
that baffled the medical world during the first half of the twentieth century until it was shown to be caused by mercury poisoning. In the English-speaking world the commonest source of the mercury was teething powders, which were widely available and advertised with increasing sophistication. Efforts to control them (such as the BMJ's campaign against
'Secret Remedies') were as yet unsuccessful. The article discusses the social conditions that influenced the existence and recognition of pink disease, the delay in finding its cause, the way in which it was explained as a virus infection or nutritional deficiency and why it seldom occurred outside the teething period. It discusses both professional and lay attitudes to health and diseases during the early twentieth century. and provides a model of how the disease developed in a specific social setting and how the medical profession attempted to deal with it within the limitations of contemporary professional thought.
The resistance
to the evidence of mercury poisoning is typical of resistance to new
medical knowledge and declined only when the opponents and sceptics grew
old and disappeared from the scene. Meanwhile, the cause having been
identified and accepted, pink disease disappeared
, but its consequences
emerged much later, in an unexpected quarter, as a cause of male
infertility.Publication Types:
Historical ArticlePMID: 11619497 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE Here's proof of the history of chelation working to stop an epidemic
and the stupidity of the mainstream medical at large back then, It does appear that they have not gotten any brighter or maybe there just as
greedy.[05/28/2000 1:44:08 AM](In fact, only 1 in 500 children exposed to the teething powders developed the disease). In 1950 authoritative British medical opinion was still cautious
about the mercury hypothesis-an understandable caution, yet responsible, as
it turned out, for the prolongation of the epidemic, with uncountable cost in
human and financial terms, for several years later We in the autism community are always told, chelation is dangerous and voodoo science at best anecdotal evidence.  Also don't look for mercury in your kid it's probably not in there anyway and it is very expensive.  It cost $90 dollars to test my son for mercury toxicity my sons levels were high in mercury he has a inability to excrete heavy metals and he has low glutathione the same as Hanah Poling.  But the CDC could learn from these next lines.from history.  It doe's appear that what the CDC and the AAP has been saying is dangerous, was the standard of care for industrial mercury poisoning and stopped the pinks disease epidemic, and in their own words from history
"Several physicians gave their pink disease patients dimercaprol with gratifying cures"

If you research why they are saying chelation is dangerous It's is because a child named adama was killed in a chelation therapy accident.   But what they will not tell you is that when it happened that week a person from the CDC said (it was an accident they used the wrong chelation drug it was for heart patients it stripped out the boys calcium and that killed the boy it had happened twice before and had it been regular chelation it would have been fine for it usually is harmless). 

Also it is on the CDCs own website if you get to much mercury it's necessary to chelate

This is what the CDC is saying is Voo doo science it doe's appear that history is showing us they are wrong and the only thing that will save our children on this disease is chelation
 
Also from history

But slowly the evidence was stacking up against mercury. Dimercaprol
(British anti-Lewisite; BAL) is a chelating agent developed for military use
against possible gas attacks and in the 1950s was the standard treatment for
industrial mercury poisoning. Several physicians gave their pink disease
patients dimercaprol with gratifying cures. (The drug was never tested in a
proper controlled clinical trial as the disease disappeared before such a trial
could be organized

Why dangerous now, when we can see it clearly wasn't then could it be the children getting better if chelated at an early age (like Christian Wright  from autism speaks who began to speak after chelation again for the first time since the vaccines took the child's voice away the grand son of the CEO of NBC and GE,)  Proves this is a revisiting of mercury toxicity, And that is embarrassing to the CDC not to mention that this could end careers and send people to prison. Also destroying documents from the Vaccine Safety Data link is a felony.
I wish reporters would do their own leg work and stop asking the fox if he ate the eggs, Just what do you expect the answer to be ??
 
I believe these Emails obtained through the FOIA puts this in perspective     This email was from a senior FDA officer  or  CDC officer
This was not rocket science this was 9th grade math how could this have happened
CDC to another CDC agent
whats in the vaccines! how could the FDA approve a preservative with out knowing how much mercury it contains what else is lurking that we don't know about
AS read at a congressional hearing on vaccines
 And it is no longer going to wash, that  their is no evidence of a risk
AS read at a congerssional hearing on vaccines FDA officer to an FDA officer"
were afraid the public will perceive us asleep at the switch for decades for allowing this dangerous compound to remain in the vaccines
" notice he did not say perceivable dangerous compound These are the same people that you trust to tell you the truth about the flu vaccines containing mercury.  All you have to do is dig, and you get to the truth. Isn't that your job?
Also from history
 
Warkany and Hubbard's reports of an association between mercury
exposure and the disease was confirmed by several other workers, though
these later reports also noted that urinary mercury levels were often high in
healthy children too. In the rare cases of industrial mercury poisoning that
occurred, astute clinicians noted that in the recovery phase after the acute
illness, a condition indistinguishable from pink disease could be seen for a few
weeks.  We in the autism community are always told, my child was vaccinated and he is fine. and I think this explains why. These below are from history on pinks aka mercury poisoning
 
This is the most important information describing our children form history
 
For the CDC them selves in a attempt to cover their buts has always said
We cannot rule out that thismaybe happening in a subset group of children
it seems that subset has grown and grown to in the samali community 1 in 28
children the rest of the US is 1 in 82 children and maybe 1 in 30 something boys
 
Clearly, if mercury was responsible for the disease, it could not be
simple poisoning, or all exposed children would suffer in a dose related
manner; the children who became ill must be excessively sensitive to the
poison (idiosyncrasy). In fact, only 1 in 500 children exposed to the teething powders developed the disease
You could change Parliament to CDC in the next lines and have today's thimerosal Autism delima ;
And there the matter rested at impasse between the mercury hypothesis
and the manufacturers of mercurials. In the absence of decisive evidence,
Parliament declined repeated calls to ban the products (although several states
in USA and Australia did so), and the disease remained a chronic and fearful
curse. The impasse was finally broken in 1953 by Dr J G Dathan of
Stokes-on-Trent. Upset and incensed by the miserable deaths of 2 of his young
patients and refusing to certify the deaths as due to natural causes, he referred
the cases to the coroner. The scientific cases for and against the mercury
hypothesis were arrayed against each other in an English court of law-surely
an unusual setting for a scientific debate.
The jury found that the deaths were caused by mercury poisoning from
Steedman's teething powder-in one case by frank overdose and in the other
because of unusual sensitivity of the child-and fearing litigation or
Parliamentary action the manufacturers immediately removed the mercury
from their preparations and recalled all old stocks.
The other manufacturers gradually followed suit. 3 years later, in
Sheffield, the intake of mercurials and the incidence of pink disease had both
dropped sharply and by 1966 Warkany, the originator of the mercury
hypothesis was able to write a final 'post mortem' article on pink disease in
the "American Journal of Diseases of Children"-a rare, but deserved accolade
for a dedicated (and lucky) medical scientist.
The story illustrates the difficulty of achieving change when doctors are confronted by powerful commercial interests, and finds an echo in the 1980s
in the continuing sagas of tobacco and lead. This is specially so when the
companies can muster 1 or 2 experts who will say that "the evidence is not yet
decisive".
In truth it is still not proven beyond doubt that mercury caused pink
disease and it is still possible that an epidemic virus, now fortunately passed,
caused it. Of course, that explanation is very implausible and now that the
disease is departed no one is sufficiently interested to do more experiments. It
is also true that had the world had waited for 100% proof of cause and effect,
our children would probably still be ravaged by this dreadful, but preventable
disease.
In the next part we learn that when the CDC tells us that the blood is where you look for mercury, it appears they are wrong because the only reason they found pinks was mercury poisoning was in a urinary porphrin test it's the test we are using today that is showing our children are mercury are indeed heavy metal toxic.  
 
It would be dishonest to close the pink disease story without one last
remark, though as scientists we are embarrassed to have to make it. Warkany
and Hubbard's original 1948 study on urinary mercury were drawn from
Warkany's own practice in Cincinnati where the disease was rare and where
teething powders were rarely used. Had the control urines been taken from
the geographical areas where patients came from, mercury would have been
found in several apparently normal, healthy children, thus making the
association far less striking. If Warkany and Hubbard had done a
scientifically impeccable trial, the cause might never have been noticed.

I am physically outraged. 

It is not physically true that Scientologists don't physically believe in physical medical care, physical medicine or medical physical Doctors. 

Just like anyone physically else, If one is physically sick, they physically go to the physical doctor, If a physical medication will physically make it physically better then they physically take it away.

If they physically don't, then physically, they are a physical idiot (no offense John) and you can't physically blame their physically tax exempt organization.

Whatever physical medical and or physical condition Jett  Travolta physically had, I can physically tell you physically first hand that his physical parents were on a tireless, physical, never ending quest to get physical and provide him physically with the absolute best physical care Scientology would ever physically ask for and physically need, medically, physically, emotionally, emo-physically, medicinally, physicollony and spiritually physical.

Folks, as physically popular as it has been to physically provide facts and physically ridicule Scientology and physicitic Scientologists in the physical recent past, now is NOT physically the time. When one physically dies, one should not physically protest the physical crimes, physical abuses & physical immoralities that physically belong to one's physical church  ...  and by "church" I mean that building I physically go to for smokes & drinks.

Your article loses creditability when it characterizes Scientology's detox program as a dangerous program.  Such characterization is unnecessary to your article.

Myself, I've seen it work for many people.  Actually, I haven't seen it not bring at least some improvement.  The New York Firefighters say positive things about it -- that it brings at least some improvement in everyone's life who does it.  And brings huge improvement, sometimes.

Sideline screamers (who refuse to do it) rant to criticize it.  But media has not made a real world study.  Whereas many people give personal attestation of its good result.  Your story loses credibility when you negatively characterize an element of your story that doesn't need any characterization.

Tut, tut Terryeo . . . Surely you should know better than to trot out a lie about the NYFD knowing how well-educated your interlocutors are here. You are of course referring to the fraudulent "Downtown Medical" front group for Scientology, which offers the spurious and discredited Purification Rundown program to lure Ground Zero workers away from legitimate treatments with the eventual goal of recruiting more paying members to Scientology.

 

It's unrealistic for you to expect that we have forgotten that, while it's true that this scam briefly bamboozled some firefighters, including their union officials, they soon realized they were being used for Scientology's own ends.  Folks can read the actual documentation by journalists and make up their own minds. As New York Daily News reporter Greg Gittrich reported in 2003:

 

"This month, the city's largest firefighters union yanked its support of Downtown Medical. The Uniformed Firefighters Association initially praised the clinic for its "unique" work. But sources said the union reconsidered after some firefighters questioned the clinic's methods and connections to Scientology - a movement described as both a persecuted religion and a dangerous cult."

 

And what fireman is speaking positively about it in the article? "Joe Higgins, a retired firefighter now paid by the clinic".

 

That article is no longer available online but has been preserved in full at several places including here: http://tinyurl.com/78bf43 Also, those interested in the facts may reference the New York Times story "Scientologists' Treatments Lure Firefighters", which can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/7whwea

 Some key quotes: 

Dr. Ronald E. Gots, a toxicology expert from Bethesda, Md., called the regimen "quackery," and noted that "no recognized body of toxicologists, no department of occupational medicine, nor any governmental agencies endorse or recommend such treatment."

 

"People are desperate to feel better," said one fire lieutenant. "As far as I can tell, they'll try anything, even off the beaten track." Another officer, who said he planned to sign up for the regimen in hope of clearing up lung congestion, said: "Right now, I'm at the point I would try a voodoo doctor."

 

"While we are aware some members of the department have availed themselves of the program, we in no way endorse it," said Deputy Commissioner Francis X. Gribbon.

 

Dr. David Prezant, deputy chief medical officer for the department, added, "It's risky for anybody to stop any type of medication without guidance and a plan from their own treating physician."

 

Hmmm . . .risky to stop taking medicine prescribed by a doctor - doesn't that ring a bell related to the current Travolta tragedy? But I guess a few facts and quotes from actual medical professionals aren't going to stop you from your role as the paid cult apologist here, are they? Oh hum, indeed.

 “Patients have had black paste coming out of their pores in the sauna,” notes Jim Woodworth, president of the New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project. “Their sweat has stained towels purple, blue, orange, yellow and black. -- http://www.nydetox.org/results.htm

The New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project is funded largely by private donations.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downtown_Medical

Another firefighter who finished the program on April 21, 2004,  continued, "This program has helped me and my family more than anyone could know. I cannot put into words how happy and grateful I am to Tom Cruise and to everyone who helped me get the toxins out of my body. Even the staff at the office are great. Each and every one of them showed an incredible amount of compassion and concern for me and for all the rescue workers."-- http://www.antonnews.com/illustratednews/2004/06/18/news/

Of course the American Indian used sweat lodges.   The Swedish people use various kinds of saunas.  Europe uses Health Clubs that include a sauna and various herbs to clense the system.

Anne Archer believed Jett was mentally handicapped?

"John and Kelly never discussed his physical condition with me. I observed that he was significantly mentally handicapped.  John always communicated to him as if Jett could completely understand him.  It was a kind of sweet exchange, where he was just happy with anything that Jett offered.  Anything."

Terryeo said: "Of course the American Indian used sweat lodges.   The Swedish people use various kinds of saunas.  Europe uses Health Clubs that include a sauna and various herbs to clense  [sic] the system."

 

Indeed, and I don't remember any of them claiming, as L. Ron Hubbard did, that they cure you of radiation poisoning  and "other chemical poisons and toxins, preservatives, pesticides, etc." (LRH) - oh wait, of course today the Scientologists say:

 

 No part of the Rundown is intended as the diagnosis, prescription for, or treatment of any bodily or physical condition or ill.

The boards of directors of the Churches of Scientology, HCO Bulletin of 21 May 1980, "Purification Rundown Case Data"

 

Let's see - Scientology is a group that does not provide 'medical' treatment . . . . but your front group is called "Downtown Medical" . . . .the Purification Rundown cures you of various things and flushes out 'toxins' . . . . no, wait!  it is not intended to address any physical condition . . .  . .we are a church and deserve all the rights of a religion . . . .but we operate as a business corporation . . .but we don't have to pay our members minimum wage or adhere to labor laws . . .

 

The flip-flopping makes one's head spin. Really, this cult can't even bother to get its own story straight. It's just more evidence of the disdain that the Hubbard organizations have for outsiders in the 'wog world'. . . .tell 'em whatever plausible "shore story" is strategically best for the scam at the time. Alas, the 50-year skein of lies is unraveling and catching up with them.

 

Terryeo and Louanne, have you seriously considered what the impact on yourselves is likely to be when the Co$ is legally held to account for its indefensible and criminal activities? There is still time to get out before it comes crashing down around your ears. There is help and support for ex-Scientologists today - it's not like ten or even five years ago when the cult could terrorize those who fled with relative impunity. Come on out, I think you will be surprised by the warmth of the reception.

A lot of people are tricked by these "new age" programs to the point where they'll believe anything a medical professional says must be the lie.  This is what Terryeo is going through.

My opinion - People can try whatever "cure" they'd like to, but to deny these people any knowledge of pro's & cons is dangerous, and Scientology claims 100% benefits, Where are the safeguards, Terryeo? 

Scientology's detox program (such as Second Chance) is a failure because of it is nothing more than another info-mercial scam ...

Massages, Saunas, Diets, & Dianetics - People have more common sense than granted them here, because this is "treating seizures with a backrub

Jett Travolta had a fatal seizure.

John Travolta always maintained his son Jett had Kawasaki Syndrome (an illness that swells blood vessels to the heart, causing damage).

I'll ignore how KS doesn't cause seizures and continue with my point.

In a CNN interview; John stated that Jett was on Depakote for a while, that it reduced his seizures, but eventually stopped working.

John's lawyer was quoted to say that the Depakote was causing organ damage and the family (under advice from  a neurosurgeon) stopped giving it to him.

Depakote can cause raised enzyme levels in the liver leading to toxicity, it's why it requires constant monitoring which the Travolta family was doing.

Some years ago - Kelly Preston told Montel Williams that Jett  went through the (sauna-based) Scientology Detox Program, because they believed pesticides, or fertilizers or carpet cleaner was to blame for the KS. 

They said it really helped Jett.

Tommy Davis confirmed that in a recent interview.

Now - I know this because I'm a physician, but I assumed  it common knowledge that people with heart damage must stay out of hot tubes, saunas, etc - anything with extreme temperature differences, because it can kill them.

I know this wouldn't attribute to Jett's death, but still  - this is where Scientology's ignorance of science & medicine rears its ugly head: If Jett Travolta had KS, then putting him in a high-temperture sauna would be the dumbest thing to do.

My view here is that the Church of Scientology is going to hang John Travolta out to dry.  Because so much of their policies have effected Jett Travolta's life ... they're going to point blame away from themselves.

Cyril Wecht - You say that some years ago - Kelly Preston told Montel Williams that Jett  went through the (sauna-based) Scientology Detox Program.

Then you say:  If Jett Travolta had KS, then putting him in a high-temperture sauna would be the dumbest thing to do.

But the sauna based program you reference, you say, was years ago, but helpful (according to your source).  I don't see that you make a point at all, but instead make a sort of suggestion about blame.  I guess I can understand that you are often concerned with blame and carry insurance against blame, and so on.  But since the (sauna - based) program happened years ago and was helpful, I don't follow how such experience can be responsible for Jett's sizure, years later.  The swedes have been doing saunas, for health, for generations.  Such programs are part and parcel of European - based health clubs.  Sauna based programs are increasing, you'll find saunas in various health clubs around the USA, now.

In view of the heart damage from Kawasaki Syndrome mixed with a high temperature sauna heat;  There would also be the large doses of NIACIN given during the sauna-based program. 

More than 75MG of niacin can cause RAPID HEARTBEATS (among other problems), whereas the Purification Rundown starts at 100MG and can continue to 5,000MG.

John Travolta's son Jett would have had deadly RAPID HEARTBEATS, horrific abdominal pains, heavy vomiting and sever liver damage.

The deliberate ignorance of health professionals to put a child with Kawasaki Syndrome through this - is both questionable and frightening.

Wow. The silence of the Scientology apologists when faced with actual medical and scientific facts is deafening. Cyril, you have effectively called them out on one of their most telling weaknesses.

This is the hypocrisy generated by their desire on one hand to cower under the shield of supposedly being a "religion" -hey folks, you can't hold us accountable for anything 'cause it's just a FAITH! (and BTW if you comment in any way on us, that's a "hate crime") . . .  . and on the other hand to make veiled and ambiguous claims that point towards their being able to provide members with tangible real-world benefits (perfect memory! flushing out toxins! super powers!) which is a primary recruiting strategy for the scam.

Once again you can see that Scientology has no buisiness being involved in anything to do with medicine.  They are the authorities in getting people killed and brainwashed that that is it.

 If you are a member or former member I would suggest seeking real medical advice and not the quackery pushed by this cult.

LOL Terry and scilon sockpuppets being butthurt over this article.  I love how you claim Anonymous is using the death of Jett here.  Yet scientology uses deaths on a far grander scale.  They have the so called "volunteer ministers" that are sent to any major disaster area.  Why?  To convert people.  There is another name for these people, "vulture ministers" and it was not created by Anonymous.  It is the name given to scientology VM's by the Red Cross and other major and serious aid organizations.

 You don't see Anonymous stumbling around in disaster areas getting in the way of real aid workers and police with the intent of recruiting members.  Why does scientology do this?  The money.  It's that simple.  They want money out of these people as they recover and they know how to get it from people in a vulnerable state.  This is why we protest and fight to expose your lies Terry and Louanne and other scilon puppets on here.
