The following statement concerning the Hubbard E-Meter and Hubbard Electrometer,
proposed by L. Ron Hubbard, Founder, Academy of Scientology, for the treatment of
many diseases and conditions, including cancer, was recently distributed to the 58
Divisons of the American Cancer Society for their information.
Hubbard E-Meter and Hubbard Electrometer
After careful study of the literature and other information available to it, the
American Cancer Society has found no evidence that treatment with the Hubbard E-Meter
and Hubbard Electrometer results in any objective benefit in the treatment of cancer
in human beings.
This is based on the following summary of information in the American Cancer Society
files:
Therapy
Hubbard E-Meters (electroencephaloneuromentimographs) and Hubbard Electrometers are
skin galvanometer-type, battery-operated devices used by "Scientologists" to "audit"
or listen to people who have problems, including ill health. According to the Food
and Drug Administration (1) at the time they seized 117 E-Meters and Electrometers at
the Academy of Scientology in Washington, the accompanying labeling "falsely"
represented that the devices are effective for the diagnosis, prevention, treatment,
detection and elimination of the causes of all mental and nervous disorders such as
neuroses, psychoses, schizophrenia, and all psychosomatic ailments. Psychosomatic
ailments were represented to include most of the physical ailments of man such as
arthritis, cancer. . . It was further claimed that the device is effective in
improving the intelligence quotient, to measure the basal metabolism, and "change the
state of man. . . .'"
The device itself is connected by 2 wires to a pair of cans which are held by the
patient or "preclear" while he is being audited. Each is equipped with knobs and a
large dial with a needle which moves as the person talks. According to L. Ron
Hubbard, the inventor, "The meter tells you what the preclear's mind is doing when
the preclear is made to think of something." 2
Scientology, the system for which the E-Meters were invented, is an outgrowth of
Dianetics, which was first described in a book by L. Ron Hubbard published in 1950
titled, "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Healing." In Dianetics, (from a
Greek word meaning "thought") the conscious mind is called the "analytical mind" and
the unconscious mind is termed the "reactive mind." "The analytical mind, Hubbard
maintained, was a perfect computing machine, incapable of error" - except for
'engrams,' which fouled up the computer. Engrams were recorded on your "time tract"
by your reactive mind, when your analytical mind wasn't looking." Dianetics also
"taught" one how to erase engrams by auditing. You 'returned' a person on his time
track to the time of the engram, and had him talk it out by reliving' it. Once all
the engrams were erased, a person would be come a 'clear' -- is ”highly intelligent,
healthy, with a great zest for life, enormously improved abilities and a perfect
memory. . . . "2 The same terms and philosophy applied to Scientology.
Background
Lafayette Ronald (L. Ron) Hubbard, the founder of Dianetics and Scientology, was born
in 1911 at Tilden, Nebraska. He attended the George Washington University Engineering
School in Washington, D. C., during the 1930's, but did not graduate. He has not held
an engineering job, but has been a writer of science fiction and movie and radio
scripts. "He considers himself an explorer, having made numerous jaunts around the
globe, in cluding a sojourn in Asia where he studied mysticism. During the war, he
was a naval officer on destroyer escort duty, and was severely wounded in action."2
He uses two degrees after his name: D. Sn., Doctor of Scientology, and a Ph.D. which
he received, he says, "fromSequoia University. This was a Los Angeles establishment,
once housed in a residential dwelling, whose degrees are not recognized by any
accredited college or university."2
Following the publication of Hubbard's book in 1950, The Hubbard Dianetic Research
Foundation was established in Elizabeth, New Jersey, with centers in the nation's
major cities. The earliest reference in the American Cancer Society files is a letter
dated February 6, 1951, from Donald H. Rogers, Director of Research for the
Foundation, offering the Society the opportunity of doing research in the field of
Dianetics, since "engrams have been discovered which might account for the physical
symptoms of cancer." In New Jersey, the Foundation was "charged with violation of
the medical-practice act."2 It moved to Wichita, Kansas, where its name became The
Hubbard Dianetic Foundation, Inc. In 1953, this Foundation wrote the Committee on
Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy of the National Research Council offering them a chance
to cooperate in research on Dianetics and reporting that " we have seen enough
evidence of a significant nature to indicate that cancer may well be psychogenic in
character."
"In February 1952, the Dianetic Foundation in Wichita went bankrupt. It was later
purchased from the bankruptcy court by a Wichita businessman who refuses to have
anything to do with Hubbard. At the moment (1952), the founder of Dianetics is
living in Phoenix, Arizona. From there the Hubbard Association of Scientologists
('˜scientology' is a new Hubbardian term, meaning the 'scienceof knowledge') is
mailing out literature . . . publishing a periodical called Scientotogy, and selling
a Summary Course in Diane-tics and Scientology, complete with tape recordings, for
$382.50. The Hubbard College Graduate School, in Phoenix, charges a registration fee
of $25.00 and offers a degree of Bachelor of Scientology."3
The headquarters of Scientology in 1964 was Saint Hill Manor, " a traditional old
English mansion that stands behind a high gateway on a quiet Sussex road some 30
miles south of London."2 From there Hubbard operates the Hubbard Association of
Scientologists Inter national (H.A.S.I.). Individual Scientology groups are called
"orgs." Many of the orgs are now chartered as churches."According to Hubbard he has
'several million' followers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America,
South Africa, Europe, Japan and Australia. . . ."There are also a number of
Scientology academies, usually coxistent with a large org. In the United States there
are 2 academies, one in Washington and one in Los Angeles, which train people in
Scientology, award them certificates of various sorts and send them out to train
other Scientologists. Saint Hill Manor. . . offers the equivalent of post-graduate
courses. 'Saint Hill training' is necessary to achieve the top ranks of H.G.A., which
stands for Hubbard Graduate Auditor. The loftiest of these is an H.G.A. Class .4. . .
."2
Investigation
On December 8, 1963, an article in the New York Times, titled, "Australians Look Into
Scientology. Ask if Preclear and Entheta Constitute Medical Fraud," reported that a
special board of inquiry had been appointed by the state of Victoria, Australia, to
investigate "very serious allegations" made in Victoria's Parliament about the
practice of Scientology there.
It also noted that "Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, 52-year-old founder and coordinator of
research for the Hubbard Association of Scientology, denied the Australian charges.
Mr. Hubbard. . . said today [December 7], that the association had filed libel suits
in Melbourne totaling the equivalent of $700,000 but he declined to say against
which. Scientologists, he insisted, are not permitted to 'treat' persons for
illnesses. He said that some persons who had taken courses in scientology had tried
to set up practice, but that 'where we see this happening we cut these people off.'
Federal Action
"A seizure of 100 'scientology' devices charged misbranded by claims that they are
good for detecting, treating and preventing disease was made during December" 1962,
according to the FDA Report on Enforcement and Compliance, January, 1963.
"U.S.Marshals seized the 'Hubbard Electrometer' and 'Hubbard E-Meter' devices at the
Academy of Scientology, The Distribution Center, Inc., and The Hubbard Guidance
Center, both in Washington, D.C. . . . Also seized as labeling containing therapeutic
claims charged to be false was a variety of literature. . . ."
"The Scientologists claimed religious persecution, showering congressmen and the
White House with angry letters and telegrams. . . At Saint Hill Manor Hubbard focused
on the book seizures, which he referred to as 'book burning.' . . .Scientology has
appealed the FDA seizure in court, and the case will go to trial sometime this
year."2

MR. DeWOLFE:
24 And one of the main things that I used to remember
2-9
1 about the E-Meter was that our favorite electrodes,
2 which we put onto Campbell soup cans - and Campbell
3 Soup probably made a great deal of money from us -- but
4 there was a small, very small -- in those days anyway,
5 particularly, the ones that plugged into the wall; today
6 they're battery-powered, and when it was designed and
7 built in the mid-fifties it was battery-powered. But
8 the ones that plugged into the wall had a tendency to,
9 because of the amount of very microscopic electrical flow
10 through it, electroplate your hands. That is, that the
11 -tin covering or the metal covering of the Campbell soup
12 cans would come off on your hands and so your hands
13 smelled pretty wierd most of the time.
3 MRS. GARVEY: The book was written in '52.
4 MR. LeCHER: Then, the book was written - thank
5 you, Mrs. Garvey - in 152.
6 Now, back to the E-Meter: Did the U.S. National
7 Bureau of Standards describe the E-Meter as worthless as
8 a diagnostic service?
9 MR. DeWOLFE: Yes. The FDA was concerned with the
10 E-Meter because it was being used as a diagnostic tool,
11 which, in fact, was true, I mean, the actual practice.
12 1 MR. LeCHER: The people that normally take these
13 courses, are they the average run-of-the-mill person
14 that you see in the street, or are they there because
is they're looking for help? I've read where the auditing
16 can cure arthritis and leukemia. I've also read where
17 your father cured an eighteen-month old girl a child,
18 1 believe it was a girl - of leukemia.
19 MR. DeWOLFE: That's not true.
20 MR. LeCHER: Is it possible, do you think, that
21 your father has those powers?
22 MR. DeWOLFE: I'm sorry, what was that?
23 MR. LeCHER: Do you think your father has those
24 powers or is that a hoax?
2-19
1 MR. DeWOLFE: No,- but those are claims. And
2 MR. LeCHER: Tell me about those claims.
3 MR. DeWOLFE: Well, first of all, leukemia is
4 cancer and, according to my father, all cancer stems
5 from the center of man. The center of man in Scientology
6 is sex. His logic is logic was at the time that he was
7 talking about leukemia and cancer -- was that cancer is
8 cells which are dividing, and dividing cells is a sexual
9 thing and -- as in prenatal activity, the conception.
10 And so, therefore, the basis the basis of all cancer
11 is sex.
12 If you had any big bad problems with sex in the
13 early childhood or something like that, then, this is
14 what's causing your cancer. And
MR. LeCHER: What about being a celibate?
16 MR. DeWOLFE: Mm?
17 MR. LeCHER: If you're a celibate, would that
18 eliminate your possibility of having cancer?
19 MR. DeWOLFE: Well, that probably will cause can-
20 cer because of your lack of sexual activity.
21 MR. LeCHER: I guess there's no way you can win.
22 RDeWOLFE: Correct.
23 And then, of course -- then, you know, compulsive
24 sex or too much sex or something like that, that could
2-20
1 cause cancer, too.
2 MR. LeCHER: Was your father preoccupied with sex?
3 MR. DeWOLFE: Very much so, yes.
4 Anyway, getting back to your question on leukemia,
5 he has -- he had written many things about the ability of
6 Dianetics and Scientology to cure cancer and, also,
7 has reportedly, in those days -- of auditing an eighteen-
8 year old baby -- eighteen-month old baby successfully
9 with cancer.
10 And in my experience throughout Scientology, I
11 have never seen any cure or remission or halting of
12 cancer, period. And he had -- if you wait a second, I
13 think I have -- this comes from - I don't want to get
14 all involved in the whole thing - but this come's from
15 a -- The Journal of Hubbard's Association of Scientolo-
16 gists' International. You see, that was a, quote,
17 "scientific organization," and quote, "not a religious
18 organization." It was copyrighted in 1953, and quote:
19 "Leukemia is evidently psychosomatic in origin, and
20 at least eight cases of leukemia have been treated
21 successfully by a Dianetic Center medicine had tradition-
22 ally given up. The source of leukemia has been reported
23 to be an engram containing the phrase," quote, "'it turns
24 my blood to water,'" unquote.
Maureen
L Ron Hubbard, the conman of $cientology:
"My mother who was a very little person, very small person used to take a stick or a
chain to this malamute and just used to beat him and beat him and beat him, to make
him stop chasing cows...The dog would say, "I love you too." I used to come home
after an absence....and he's see me coming up towards the house and he'd rush out of
the gate... and I'd wait until he got their and I'd pick up the loose skin on both
sides of his jowls and use his momentum and throw him, and he'd go over there about
twenty-five feet and he'd land..."

I dàn't care that you agree or not, LC. The problem is that you're suffering
of an incredible tendency to un-respond, to dissociate, to be out-of-any
communication (I mean, with some duplication from you!).
Now, I can promise you something, LC, at least it's a reality I'm absolutely
certain you could share: the day you'll leave the crime cult for good,
you'll realize lots upon lots of things.

Communicate with your elemental with telepathy, by talking to
it, or with creative visualization. Your artificial elemental is
closely linked to you and your subconscious attitudes. It will
generally not do things you think it cannot do. As in any magick,
results relate to effort and belief. Another way of looking at an
artificial elemental is as an aspect of your personality (sub
personality) which has been detached from you.INVOCATIONCrowley says there are
three different kinds of invocation --
1) Devotion to the entity (as in the Bhakti yoga of the Hare
Krishna sect; the Faustian devil pact).
2) Ceremonial invocation -- usual method of the middle ages.
3) Drama -- usually needs more than one person (as ina mass)CAUTIONSSometimes self
doubt and mental contradictions (wanting and not wanting at the same time) may
interfere. The first step in
magick is to re-program your model. And, of course you can help your magical results
by working on the physical level
toward your goals.from:
http://www.necronomi.com/magic/hermeticism/mag7.basic_ritual.txt
Here is your postulate, LC, as you cast them, throw them, you make them stick, etc. :
YOU MUST ASSUME THAT THE ACT HAS PRODUCED RESULTS, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT IMMEDIATELY
OBSERVE THEM. =====
82 Clearwater Commission report:
"The source of leukemia has been reported
23 to be an engram containing the phrase," quote, "'it turns

LC said:
> So, the body is the effect of the thetan's cause?
Clear to OT:
'The first part of every ceremony is the banishing; the second the invoking.'
(--Crowley, Magick, p. 104)
With the help of the E-Meter, and a "thetan" it would be "elemental," eh?
"I have a powerful instinctive feeling that I am myself an wholly electrical
phenomenon"
--Aleister Crowley, Confessions
http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/confess/chapter83.html
=====
"Men are your slaves. Elemental spirits are your slaves. You are power among powers,
light in the darkness, beauty in all. "
from Hubbard's affirmations
"There was a desire for incarnation. I do not yet know the vehicle, but it will come
to me, bringing a secret sign. I am to act as instructor guardian for nine months;
then it will be loosed on the world. That is all I can say now..."
Hubbard and Scientology claim to make "higher beings" called OTs, with Hubbard as
"Source." Was the Scientology organization actually supposed to be the Moonchild, the
"vehicle" that would bring in the New Aeon?
