Scientologists are POISONING their CHILDREN

INSANE Scientologists are poisoning their children with a home-brewed baby formula created by L Ron Hubbard.

A number of the lesser-know beliefs and practices of Scientology have come under public scrutiny lately due to the very public behavior of celebrity Scientologists Tom and Katie Cruise.

One such controversy involves the use of a Scientology-approved home-brewed baby formula, which critics claim causes malnutrition and tooth decay.

L Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, had a number of peculiar views about childbirth, motherhood, and child rearing. His bizarre ideas are accepted unquestioningly be his followers, including notions that cigarettes cure cancer and radiation poisoning, that diseases are attributable to alien ghosts and that BREASTFEEDING AN INFANT IS ACTUALLY HARMFUL TO A CHILD.

In the Volunteer Minister's Handbook, Hubbard writes:
"Breast feeding babies may have a nostalgic background, particularly to a Freudian oriented medico, but real breast milk is usually a poor ration. Modern mothers smoke and sometimes drink. Smoking makes the milk very musty. Anyway, a nervous modern mother just can't deliver the right ration. Maybe it's the pace of the times or the breed, but there are few modern Guernsey-type mothers. So even without drinking or smoking, one should forget breast feeding."
Hubbard went on to devise his own baby formula recipe, which he purportedly discovered on a TIME-TRAVELLING VISIT TO ANCIENT ROME. The formula recipe consists of barley water mixed with cow's milk and corn syrup or honey.
Anyone versed even slightly in infant nutrition will recognize this recipe as a disaster in the making.

Besides lacking in essential nutrients and fatty acids, both Barley and cow's milk are difficult for babies to digest and pose allergy risks, while corn syrup is devoid of nutritional value and promotes tooth decay.

Its recommended substitute, honey, is unthinkable for infants under one year of age due to an elevated risk of botulism poisoning - and Clostridium botulinum and the most poisonous toxin known.
Unfortunately, due to the high regard that Scientologists hold for Hubbard, even advice as ridiculous as this is held almost as gospel, and the barley-water-honey formula is popular with Scientologist parents.
Unfortunately, even with the wealth of information promoting breastfeeding as the best possible infant nutrition, Scientology's core doctrines promote mistrust of the medical community.

Modern medicine is regarded as primitive and inferior to Scientology's own practices, which call for Dianetics and auditing for most ills, and a variety of quack remedies penned by Hubbard, including potentially dangerous doses of Niacin for purposes of "purification," and smoking as both a curative and a nutritional supplement.

To this day, Scientologists with infants are pressured to adopt Hubbard's child rearing advice, from "silent birth" to the potentially fatal home brewed baby formula. Even more alarming is the public use of the formula by Celebrity Scientologists such as Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Leah Remini.

Scientologists are crazy! Thank goodness their cult is on the verge of closing down.

if this is true, hubbard contradicts himself about smoking--first it's a good thing, but for mothers breastfeeding (and he assumes they are smoking) it's a reason why the baby SHOULDN'T be breastfed.

and everybody knows not to give honey to an infant! good grief, what a bunch of loonies.

@aregolas ti seems that the general public was conned during the mid 1900s by advertisements and other propaganda that gave impression that smoking creates health. You can search on ytube for some of these tv adverts that say things like doctors prefer smoking camels tec. LRH was a child and young adult when that campaign began, and when it seems most people in USA smoked. Now we know that the tobacco companies were misleading public.and that smoking causes injury to the body.

mmm,what if the milk came from a nervous cow?

It is a good thing to be wise,consult the great I AM which is present within each of us.

It is interesting to note that human beings are the only mammals who consume the milk of another mammal.

Let Scientologists poison their children. Gets them out of the gene pool.

[bathaweek]

@aregolas, yes, of course i know that!. i was pointing out hubbard's wacky "logic," just like blacktailfa does. when i said "if this is true" i meant the claims in the video, as i don't know for sure if this is an accurate representation of scientology.

[drevyek]
