Tsunami Quack-Watch Thread

[rikzilla]

I have long been worried about the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in the wake of the tsunami disaster,..but had not counted on this:

For tsunami survivors, a touch of Scientology...

From the link:

Meyers is healing the survivors, he says, employing the techniques he has learned from Scientology. More precisely, he is helping them heal themselves, eradicating pain waves and allowing energy waves to flow, clearing pathways for nerves to run errands of anatomical necessity, liberating the spirit to align with the body as described in the confident prose of the late L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology and the applied practices known as Dianetics.

Obviously....there is little hope for mankind. Talk about adding insult to injury!

Say what you want about its informational tables on the street corners of American cities, the ads for Dianetics on late night cable television, those people trying to get you to submit to their tests: Scientology has solid institutional backing here. In the eyes of the local public, its operations are indistinguishable from those of UNICEF and CARE and the Red Cross.

I'd have to agree with regards to UNICEF....but to the best of my knowledge CARE and RC actually practice real medicine.

It's enough to make you sick to your stomach.
