Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to
questions if they contained copyrighted materials. After a very short
while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and
started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I
removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's
also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg
Churilov" cultist was ejected from

Subject: All about radiation
Anonymous asked this question on 5/4/2000:
I see a couple of books I'm thinking of buying written by L. Ron Hubbard
called "All about radiation" and then, amusingly enough, another one that's
"extended." (Presumably the original book wasn't really "all about radiation"
since he needed another book.)
Has anyone read it? I know that Hubbard took one physics course and that
he failed it with an F grade, but is his book worth reading?
honorarykid gave this response on 5/4/2000:
Hubbard was a failure as a student in science and engineering
disciplines. He got acceptable grades in reading and English classes.
I wouldn't trust a single thing Hubbard said about radiation.
I haven't read this book, but have heard a bit about it. In it, I believe
Hubbard claims that radiation is stored in the body's fat cells.
And conveniently, Hubbard also "discovered" an easy way to remove that
nasty radiation from those turgid fat cells. Just sit in a sauna for hours
and hours a day, for a couple of weeks, while taking megadoses of the B
vitimin "Niacin."
This is the Purification Rundown, a secular and sacred (yes, it's both!)
religious, but non-religious bit of medical quackery.
