Chemical Imbalance and the American Psychiatric Association (APA)

I was pretty shocked when I saw the Today Show and heard the President of the APA ad mit they have no proof of chemical imbalance.

In all the media frenzy of the past few days I think this admission has not gotten the attention it deserves.


Chemical imbalance is THE theory justifying the use of SSRI antidepressants.

I've heard that people who go on these antidepressants tend to gain a lot of weight - 40 to 50 pounds isn't unusual.

I've also heard that it affects ones sexual drive.

Has anyone reading this experienced anything like this?

David Miscavige in Clearwater


Again this year, as in each year past for at least 10 or 15 years, Mr. David Miscavige returned to Clearwater to officiate at the birthday celebration of L. Ron Hubbard in March.

It is always a high point of my year whenever Mr. Miscavige comes to town.

I've been a Scientologist for many years, and I appreciate everything he has done to help people. He's one of the most intelligent and caring people I've ever had the good fortune to meet.

This world can be pretty cruel and uncaring. You only have to log on or open a newspaper to have that made clear. Scientology has answers to people's problems, and solutions to the worst of the social ills we are confronted with.

For someone to work with the unrelenting dedication of Mr. Miscavige to make these solutions available is certainly worthy of comment!

Here's another interesting article about Mr. David Miscavige at the grand opening of the new Church of Scientology of Johannesburg South Africa
