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
askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.
Subject: My jaws hurt
FredricRice asked this question on 5/5/2000:
My jaws hurt every time someone says the word "snap." I was told that
Scientology could help me with this problem.
Is this true?
Thanks.
Phobos1 gave this response on 5/5/2000:
Is what true? That Scientology can help you with this problem, or that
your jaws hurt? (-:
Well, if the word "snap" makes your jaw hurt, my guess is there'd be a
psychosomatic factor involved. Dianetics claims to be able to cure all
psychosomatic ills, but until we see some properly peer-reviewed and
objective studies, I'm not prepared to answer that it works.
Of course, you are alluding to the charming tale in Hubbard's "History of
Man", in which engrams from past lives in our distant evolutionary past
are supposedly responsible for some of the ills we suffer today. In this
particular example, jaw pain is supposed to be a vestige of hinge
problems from when we were clams. This claim I am strongly inclined to
dismiss, for a number of reasons.
