And yeah I don't think Scientology stuff should be allowed here, anymore than any other sort of religious proselytizing. As I understand it, the reason Scientologists are anti-psych med and anti-psychiatry is because they believe mental illness and addictions are caused by evil aliens living in our brains.

But in fairness to Vital, I don't think he realized it was a Scientology vid until I pointed it out.
I read L Ron Hubbard's Dianetics many years ago. I have no idea how I even got the book, but I thought I would read it. It is what the whole church of Scientology is based on as far as I know. I don't remember anything about aliens in the mind. It is all about unconscious memories and engrams and ridding your mind of them. It is just a psychological theory but it seems to claim to be a cure all. All disease is psychosomatic and can be cured by freeing yourself of engrams or something like that. I can't remember.
