Is he actually a doctor? Nothing in this indicates a MD, but rather
alternative medicine.

Ian has been in CoS for a long time. Messiah or Madman details how a
17 year old Shillington went on a mission for LRH in 1967.

Ian also has this bad habit of coming to IRC channel #scientology (he
did it again yesterday as "Spiritu"), popping on, and then leaving.
(The first couple of times he did it, he failed to hide his real name,
but now he's gotten just a bit better.) I also believe he has hit my
web pages on more than one occasion.

This is medical fraud. I've sent him a message that i'll sue
him before AMA for medical fraud.

Could someone give some publicity to this to AMA boys?

This "MD" does not deserve any confidence from his patients.

I added the "M.D.", it's not from Ian's page. But I do think that
herbalists should refrain from claiming they can "handle" such diseases.
Does he say he can cure cancer, or does he say only that he can handle
such things as cancer? Is there a difference?

"our herbal remedies and programs have been known to handle such things as
cancer, dibetes and intestinal disorders,"

'Known to handle such things as cancer' is scientology jargon. Shillington is
promoting at least two scams...scientology and herbal cures for cancer. who
do we report him to?

I wonder what became of his "limousine service".

But the absolute best is his success story. It is even dumber than the
one from Miss Holland:

Scientology has given me the gift of me. I know who
I am, what I am and where I'm going.

In fact, this page has very little "personalization" pasted onto it; less

No it's not. notice that he does not say "cure", but says "handles" instead.
Under the recent congressional actions regarding the herb & supplement health
products, labeling and claims are very much wide open now. Prior to this
action, Ian's claims would have cost him dearly if reported to the Food & Drug
Administration (US FDA). Feel free to report this to the FDA and let them
intrepret his words against the law. However, I seriously doubt anything would
be done to discipline him for these claims. This is not very different than the
claims for and labeling of St. John's Wort (Rx herb for depression in Europe)
sold over the counter at health food stores in the US.

As for Ian's recent accomplishment-completing the HQS-this makes me suspect
that after all these years w/ little or no tech training, he's about to begin
preparations to do Solo-OTIII (Wall of fire). The HQS' minimal auditor training
is also one of the minimum accceptable tech training to proceed into the OT
levels.

BTW, I looked in the big books of board certified US doctors (MDs and ODs).
Shillington is not listed.

Ian Shillington's office is at 512 Cleveland Street, #190, Clearwater, FL.
33755 (813-461-0292). It's in the same block as Scientology's Bank of
Clearwater property. According to the AMA manual on currently licensed
physicians in the U.S., Shillingtton is not a MD. Usually, herbologists have
a Naturopathic Physician or Chiropractic classification.

Absolutely. It's called marketing, Rod, and it's in the language of such claims
that so many scams are able to exist under the noses of fraud enforcement in this
country. How many restaurants do you know makes claim to having the World's Best
Coffee, Best Steak, Best Chili, etc?

Ian is not an MD. His office is at 512 Cleveland Street; #190, Clearwater,
33755. His phone# 813-461-0292. There is no MD office or clinic listed at
that building which has several other tenants. It's in the same block as
Scientology's Bank of Clearwater Bldng.

There is no difference.

Let me first say that I realize you are asking a question regarding
the use of "handle" in the context of herbal cures. I agree that one
should refrain from such claims. In my opinion, it is wrong to make
such an absolute claim; I believe it gives individuals a false hope
and unrealistic expectation. Even more importantly, it often results
in an individual wasting valuable time on a useless and unproven
"therapy", when time may be a critical concern. And my understanding
is that it is important to act swiftly when a cancer is diagnosed.

In Scientology, use of the word "handle" in the context of diseases
and illnesses, means "to cure", as in "to address and solve the cause of
a malady". In plain English, use of the word "handle" means "to dispose
of; to deal with; to treat; to solve". "Cure" means "to get rid of;
to restore to health; to remedy".

Insofar as Hubbard wrote that perhaps 70% of diseases were psycho-
somatic in origin (including cancer), the belief held by Hubbard and
Scientologists is that auditing "handles" (cures) illnesses.

Nevertheless, one seldom hears Scientologists claim that auditing
_cures_ diseases. Instead, the standard term usually used is "handle",
but it means the same thing. If one studies Hubbard's HCO Bulletins,
it will be found that he was careful (for the most part) to avoid using
the term "cure". But there are many exceptions to this, not necessarily
in the HCOBs, but in other books such as _DMSMH_. In practice, use of the
term "handle" does mean "to cure", since Hubbard teaches that auditing
addresses the cause of illnesses and diseases, and thereby causes them to
vanish. I say this out of my own understanding of the subject of Dianetics
and Scientology, as well as out of my *experience*. My own wife, Victoria,
now deceased, was told that "NOTs" would "handle" her diabetes! (Incidentally,
I noticed that one of the Scientologists who told her that (an "FSM" named
Carrie Alkins) now has a "Scientologists On-Line" page.

I have no idea what Ian Shillington bases his claim upon, but I
would hazard a guess that he believes cancer can be eliminated through
a nutritional approach, i.e., taking herbs.

Hubbard defined "handle" in HCOB 15 January 1970 Issue II "Handling
With Auditing" as: [to] "finish off, complete, end cycle on. Service and
handling are the same thing. When you give service, you handle. Part of
handling cases is handle N-O-W! One way or another, one gets the preclear
handled."

In HCO PL 4 May 1968 "Handling Situations", Hubbard wrote that
"handle it" means "finish it off so that is the end of it". In Flag Order
3195 of 3 July 1972, written by Hubbard, he says "Anything fully handled
needs no further care or attention from anyone."

I thought you may be interested in some Hubbard definitions of "sickness",
so I will give them here. He opined that sickness is:

1969 "Handling Illness In Scientology"

Good question! Tilman obviously remembers the letter that The Shill wrote

CEO Quality Limousine"

"Letter to the Editor SP Times 12/9/97

"Dear Sir,

"It never ceases to amaze me how bigoted a person, a group of people, or
an organization can be. I am astounded over the recent garbage your paper
has been printing about my church, the Church of Scientology. The
articles are full of innuendo, bias, and downright false and misleading
statements. This endless tirade of harassment is getting stale and I have
heard from several of my non Scientology friends who state they are
getting sick of it as well.

"Many of these friends as well as the business community down town are
very well aware of our continuing contributions to the community in the
form of:

1. Beautification of Down Town.
2. The opening of the Pinellas Trail.
3. Winter Wonderland.
4. Foster Children's Christmas Party.Etc.

"In 1993 an appellate court, the 11th Circuit Court handed down a decision
clearly denouncing this twenty year effort on the part of Rita Garvey, Sid
Klein and a few other city officials for violating the rights of
Scientologists. The court further stated that these attacks were
discriminatory, and an assault on our constitutional rights. It is
obvious that today they are still operating from the same viewpoint, and
so is your paper. I am outraged by your paper's support of these bigots
and of your efforts to keep the pot stirred up. Your editorials remind me
of the hate propaganda so fondly used by Hitler and his regime to
discredit the Jews, the Blacks, and many others.

"Get this straight! We are here to stay! We will never give up. Never!
Never! Never!

"Our numbers grow larger every year. In Dunedin, Clearwater and Largo
alone there are over 4,000 Scientologists. This number grows by the
hundreds each year, and I'd like to point out that we are an electorate
that does vote.

Does this mean that Hubbard thought that a person's illness was an
attempt on the part of that person to die? (And, this being
Scientology, be reincarnated?)

Yes, it is.

He also asserted somewhere that sex urge was based on death
urge as well, the person wanting to make bodies before
losing his own.

Yes.

I've posted before how it's likely that Scientology believes that Lisa
McPherson, as a fully "at cause" Scientologist, deliberately chose to
die. That could explain in part why they're so reluctant to accept any
responsibility for her death.

I can't speak for Europe as a whole, but I am unaware of St. John's
Wort (which I believe contains some form of naturally-produced MAOI)
being available on prescription here in the UK.

It is, however, being sold in health food shops (so not on
prescription) as capsules, as at about a week ago. I had not noticed
it prior to that, but I do not generally frequent health-food shops
regularly.

Actually, I believe that the MAOI theory (supported by one researcher) has been
discarded in favor of a synergistic effect between the very weak MAOI and an
SSRI-like effect. Ordinarily the two are not combined in artificial antidepressants
due to the possibility of hypertensive crisis..

Since I happen to have a bottle handy (for doping the office water-cooler when I run
out of Prozac) I note the directions on the label read "As a dietary supplement, take
1 tablet daily with a meal. For maximum benefits, take in conjunction with a healthy
lifestyle and dietary plan."

"Research from Europe [I've seen some of that, actual double-blind studies and
everything, imagine that] indicates that Hypericin...St John's Wort active principle
constituent...plays a role in mood enhancement and maintainging a healthy, positive
mental outlook." No mention of "handling" any medical conditions, and in fact it
says "This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease."

Very big in Germany, I understa...say, wait a minute...now it all becomes clear:
Keep out the $cientologists who are actually trying to help people (and at only
$300,000US) and hook everyone on a product made from a weed that grows naturally.
Why, those mercenary bastards!

Friggin' marvelous, ain't it? "Being reasonable" is suppressive, and
rationalizing your head off is being "on Source." Blow the Intro RD and
we'll hunt you down and drag you back. We'd rather have you dead than
incapable.... What?!? you're dead? Loser. Failure. Suppressive.

HATED HER GUTS ...."

"have been known to........."

Does this mean that, to prove he is not making unlawful false
claims, he must provide at least one case history where it
has "handled" each ailment listed?

Thanks for the information re: the UK, Steve A. Let me correct my
generalization--St. Johns Wort in standardized form is available only by a
doctor's prescription in Germany.

You surely know how "degraded beings always generalize" -"They" said" "everyone
knows" and all those other scientological dead giveaways to our
suppressiveness. Hehehe, I must have been feeling more suppressive than usual
when I wrote that original reply post.

Meanwhile, the main thrust remains the same...Shillington can be reported to
the US FDA, but under current US labeling laws for "supplements", he is likely
just on the legal edge of permissible claims.
