Cruisin' for a bruisin'
http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew...hub=TopStories However, as the interview progressed, the discussion became tense. In an earlier television interview on Access Hollywood, Cruise criticized Brooke Shields for taking anti-depressants to deal with her postpartum depression. Cruise's religion, Scientology, teaches that modern psychiatry and its medications are harmful. When Lauer asked Cruise about his comments he defended his position, saying he disapproved of psychiatry even before he became a Scientologist. "Look, you've got to understand, I really care about Brooke Shields. I think, here's a wonderful and talented woman. And I want to see her do well. And I know that psychiatry is a pseudo-science," Cruise said. Cruise became increasingly visibly agitated as Lauer asked: "Do you examine the possibility that these things do work for some people?" When Lauer pressed Cruise on the topic, he said: "Matt, Matt, Matt, you don't even -- you're glib, you don't even know what Ritalin is." At one point, Cruise told Lauer, "You don't know the history of psychiatry, I do." When Lauer said he knew people on Ritalin who seemed to have benefited from the drug, Cruise said that wasn't enough. "But you're now telling me that your experiences with the people I know, which are zero, are more important than my experiences," said Lauer, who appeared composed despite his resolute words. "What do you mean by that?" Cruise asked. "You're telling me what's worked for people I know or hasn't worked for people I know. I'm telling you, I've lived with these people and they're better," Lauer said. When Cruise suggested Lauer was advocating Ritalin, Lauer said: "I am not. I'm telling you in their cases, in their individual case, it worked." Eventually, Lauer said he recognized they could "go around in circles on this for awhile," and asked whether one of Cruise's goals was for more people to understand Scientology. |

Eventually, Lauer said he recognized they could "go around in circles on this for awhile," and asked whether one of Cruise's goals was for more people to understand Scientology. Cruise believes in a religion created by a science fiction writer, Lafayette Ron Hubbard, a man on record as saying that the best way to make a million would be to start a religion (allegedly; scientologists are notoriously litigious). This religion involves aliens, ...oh, what's the point. As a for instance, "In the 1960s the guru [Hubbard] decreed that humans are made of clusters of spirits (or "thetans") who were banished to earth some 75 million years ago by a cruel galactic ruler named Xenu. Naturally, those thetans had to be audited." Auditing naturally costs quite a bit. Tom Cruise, while undeniably petit, and quite cute in his younger days, is a ****wit of no small proportions.

Cruise is very typical of the anti-psychiatirst. Now..for a real shocker... When I got up this morning I flipped on the NY NBC affiliate-WNBC- and saw the face of Marie Osmond. Marie had gone through a very severe episode of post-partum depression and was being interviewed abou thow she took a fully holistic approach which included mainstream medication, psychotherapy, cleanses, detoxes, etc. (I should point out that she did look great on the tube.) The the camera switched to none other than.... yep... you guessed it... Peter Breggin... who sounded like an utter fool. The third person being interviewed was a psychotherapist who took the position that medication is often necessary in the beginning of treatment of post-partum depression and will help other treament modalities (same points made by Osmond). Breggin was full of Breggin. He did not miss an opportunity to make his usual claims, or self-promote himself. I did not let him ruin my day. After that we had breakfast, I went on line for a bit..went to a wheelchair race..and then came home and went fishing. Dinner tonight is "fresh catch", and in this case, early season bluefish. I'd email you all some...but...it happens to be one of my major weaknesses...and I do not share easily. Especially this one as it gave me a "reel" battle. |

L-Ron blubberd nonsense. Did Cruise blow a fuse? _g |

"We have billions of invisible aliens in our bodies...and by the way,
counseling doesn't work." (But 'auditing' does...) Sounds like a sensible worldview to me! Mark, MD |
