Jett Travolta Mom Protesting Against Psychiatry, The Thing That Could Have Saved HIm

The Family Needs to Be Investigated by CPS for child abuse!!! Plain and Simple

NY Post: He Didn't Have To Die

The health problems of tragic teen Jett Travolta would not have been properly treated unless his celebrity Scientologist parents had rejected their religion's theories on medicine, outraged experts said yesterday.

UPDATE: TRAVOLTA HEARTBROKEN BY LOSS

JOHN'S ODDITIES A PULP FICTION

An autism activist, who spoke on the condition that her name not be revealed, said anti-seizure medication could have controlled the attacks that cops said John Travolta's son was prone to suffering.

Police said Jett, 16, had a seizure Friday that led him to fall and hit his head on a bathtub in a Bahamas hotel.

It is not known if he was taking medication.

But the church to which his parents are devoted would have discouraged the use of any medication for the seizures that affect 25 percent of teen autistic suffers, said Scientology experts.

And his parents have repeatedly denied their son could have autism - an illness the church says doesn't exist.

"I believe this is something that was totally avoidable," said the autism activist, who asked not to be identified by name because she says she has a friendship with Travolta's brother, Joey.

"There were such clear indications that this kid had autism," she said. "It's bothered me for years.

"The irony is not lost that Joey has committed his life to working with autism and disabilities, and his brother, for religious reasons, would let this happen.

"Joey tries to be as supportive of his brother's choices as he can be, but this has really upset me."

According to the Church of Scientology, people with disabilities like autism are classified as "degraded" and capable of curing themselves by working harder on the church's teachings.

John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston repeatedly denied speculation that their son exhibited autistic symptoms.

Instead, they blamed their son's problems on a bout with Kawasaki syndrome as a toddler. The rare disease is characterized by high fever, skin rash and swelling of the lymph nodes. Left untreated the, illness can cause heart and circulation problems later in life.

Police believe a seizure led to Jett's fatal fall. The teen was found in a bathroom of the family's Bahamas vacation home Friday morning with a broken nose and smashed skull, cops said.

"The Travoltas as Scientologists - and very prominent Scientologists - would never consult a doctor to deal with the treatment of autism," said Rick Ross, a leading authority on the church.

"This child lived out his life without ever being evaluated or treated, in my opinion. The sad thing is, perhaps he could have been helped."

Jett's parents claimed to have treated his Kawasaki symptoms with a Scientology-prescribed course of "detoxification" - a regimen of diet and saunas that the church claims is purifying, but which Kawasaki specialist Dr. Adrianna Tremoulet has never heard of.

"I am not familiar with that therapy," she said yesterday. Standard treatment includes blood transfusions.

All medication - including anti-seizure drugs - are discouraged by the church, which believes drugs stockpile in the body over time and damage it, experts on the church said.

"The failure to give doctor-recommended drugs or medications to Jett might be considered to be a laudable Scientology ethics matter," said Michael Pattinson, a former senior-level church member.

Calls for comment from the church were not returned yesterday.

Initial reports from police that Jett's body lay undiscovered in the bathroom for nearly 10 hours were challenged yesterday by Travolta's attorney, Michael McDermott.

He said the teen was discovered within minutes by a nanny - whose screams brought Travolta sprinting from an upstairs bedroom.

The movie star tried desperately to resuscitate his son.

"John did everything he could, but it appears it was too late," said a detective.

The Travoltas remained on Grand Bahama Island yesterday, surrounded by more than 50 friends, family and church members who had jetted in during the week for a two-day New Year's party scheduled to end today.

The celebrations, including a catamaran cruise, were canceled as the grieving family instead planned Jett's funeral.

Scientology Is The Problem - Jett Travolta

Why Are They Dead? Answer: Scientology - January 4, 2009

In April '06, Hollywood, Interrupted first reported that the late Jett Travolta (son of Scientologists John Travolta and Kelly Preston) had autism, and detailed how sources in Hollywood and from autism groups could not understand why his parents would not acknowledge their son's reported disorder.

In a follow-up report HI.com told the story of the parent of a child with autism who confronted John Travolta on his son's reported affliction.

While our hearts go out to the Travoltas for the tragic loss of their son, to illustrate the inherent danger of Scientology when it comes to the willful non-treatment of mental health and neurological disorders, we need only turn the collateral damage and death resulting from Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard's quackery:

Outspoken Scientology critic Tory Christman was
in the cult for over 30 years. An epileptic, Christman
was ordered off her medication by her Scientology
superiors, and she nearly died from severe seizures.
That experience was a wake-up call, leading to her
ultimate escape from the cult in 2000.

On December 5, 1995, Scientologist Lisa McPherson
perished at the ill-equipped hands of
Scientologists attempting to "handle" her psychotic break.

MIT student and former Scientologist Philip Gale chose
Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard's birthday (March
13, 1998) as the date for his tragic suicide. Incidentally,
Gale's mother was a high-ranking official in Scientology's
virulent anti-psychiatry front group, The Citizens
Commission on Human Rights.

According to reports and records, Scientologist Heribert Pfaff died at Scientology headquarters in Clearwater, Florida as a result of untreated epileptic seizures. It is reported that his Scientology doctor prescribed him vitamins prior to his death.

The US Government Needs To Investigate Scientology Medical Frauds

This week, we learned that 16-year-old Jett Travolta died after hitting his head during a seizure. His parents have always denied his autism, claiming instead that he suffered from an obscure condition known as Kawasaki syndrome, contracted from “carpet-cleaning chemicals”.

According to For Great Justice:

John Travolta and Kelly Preston have only publicly spoken of their son’s having had Kawasaki Syndrome, an unlikely source of seizures, for which they treated him with Scientology’s vitamin, sauna, and running therapy known as the Purification Rundown. There has also been considerable speculation on whether Jett was autistic or had Asperberger’s Syndrome. While a confirmed diagnosis has not been made public, reports of Jett’s behavior make such a diagnosis more likely than not. At the very least, he suffered some sort of neurological impairment that contributed to his fatal seizure.

In truth, Jett Travolta’s autism has been known about for years. In 2007, Hollywood Interrupted reported:

Tim and Patricia Kenny are the proud parents of a 4 year-old autistic girl, believe that it might be time for Child Protective Services to look into John Travolta and wife Kelly’s negligence in acknowledging their son Jett’s reported autism.

The Kennys also claim that Kelly and John “let Jett sit in front of video games all day eating junk food, while they eat the best organic food money can buy. They exclude Jett from all social events because they are embarrassed.”

“Once,” reports Kenny, “when Kelly took him to the movies, Jett started to have a meltdown and Kelly pointed at the nanny and ordered, ‘Take care of it.’”

“Jett does not speak at all,” confirms Kenny. “He has not even been taught how to communicate. We struggle every week to pay for our daughter’s therapy. How dare he [Travolta] ruin his own son’s chances of recovering! We want to get the word out on this.”

The Travolta family are prominent Scientologists. Scientology doesn’t “believe in” autism, and eschews conventional medicine - including anti-convulsive and anti-seizure medication - in favour of a cocktail of quackery with no basis in medical science. Jett is not the first person to suffer as a result of this kind of “therapy”.

Amid the concomitant tabloid circus, it is easy to forget that this was a real human being: a child suffering from autism. And Jett Travolta did not get the treatment his condition required because his parents subscribe to a cult that recommends pseudo-scientific remedies for serious and debilitating medical conditions.

This morning, a commenter on Damian Thompson’s Holy Smoke blog wrote:

Kelly Preston, Jett’s mother, was on the board of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights which is virulently anti-psychiatry and anti-medication. How many children’s lives have been negatively interfered with by the influence of this Citizens Commission on Human Rights, which is part of Scientology, we shall never know. There is, therefore, a kind of justice that the mother, who demonstrated against psychiatric and medical treatment and who would have been involved in the threatening of psychiatry, has lost a son as a result of this anti-medicine belief that has distressed other parents all over the world.

How true that is. And how easy it is for us to laugh at Scientology - at the ridiculous space opera stories, the E-meters, and the obviously bogus science.

But a child has just died. Whether or not his death was accelerated by the tenets of Scientology, it seems certain that while he was alive, his quality of life was severely impaired by parents who hid him because they were ashamed of him, who were unaware of his death for several hours (his body was discovered by a caretaker), and who denied him the treatment he needed, all as a result of their faithfulness to the principles of Scientology.

It is time that the authorities took the Church of Scientology’s quackery seriously.

Something Fishy Is Going On In New Mexico

This event is the biggest classic comic book villain coming to life. The storyline goes as such: a villain does something evil, then when the hero is on to them, the villain secretly makes plans to move out to another facility which is more diabolical than the temporary facility. The hero breaks into the villains lair and expects to see something there is nothing there, everything is moved out. Nothing is there, it all vanished over night.

There is a case in New Mexico involves Scientology Second Chance Drug Rehab Facility. Many know that Scientology is a fraud, how can a science fiction writer even create a drug rehab center, he isnt credible to do it. News reports hit in about the credibility of the Secret Scientology Program - the Scientology don't want you to find out. Cloaked as a rehab facility, the media finds out about the methods, the relapse rates, and the people they serve, the Scientologist say thats all a lie, which is not. This happened during the beginning of Chanology (March 2008) More digging occurs and something is even more fishy. The state budget goes in and you want more money from the state, (May 2008). Some state leaders support drug rehab no matter who runs it, but others are very skeptical. More facts come out and they are being cornered. Then it blows over, inquest occurs and boom.

Second Chance blew last chance?

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Under cover of darkness Wednesday the troubled Second Chance rehab center mysteriously shuttled nearly 50 patients or inmates away from its facility just ahead of a deadline to explain who it's been housing.

Albuquerque police who put the West Mesa facility under surveillance said they witnessed the bizarre twist in the Second Chance saga early Wednesday. Later in the day the rehab program was under a 5 p.m. deadline to document all its inmates and clients to the city of Albuquerque.

The city wanted to make sure Second Chance wasn't violating its lease by taking inmates without a judge's referral.

Police said they caught a bus and a van sneaking people out.

"This is very disturbing," Chief Public Safety Officer Pete Dinelli told KRQE News 13. "I'm very disappointed."

Dinelli said received documents naming 46 people listed as patients or inmates at Second Chance. But he said he wants to know why 48 apparently additional people were bused out of the addiction-treatment facility early in the morning.

"I don't know if there's a public-safety issue, because I don't know what those 48 individuals were doing there," Dinelli said.

Police followed a van with eight individuals from Second Chance to Interstate 40 and then west until it left the city limits, according to Dinelli. Cops also tracked a bus with 40 others from the facility east to the St. Martin Hospitality Center, a shelter in downtown Albuquerque.

When News 13 went to St. Martin's Wednesday afternoon two workers closing up for the holiday said they did not know of anyone brought in.

So who are these 40 individuals with addiction problems? Were any of them sentenced to the facility as an alternative to jail, and where are they now?

"I think the city's entitled to answers, and we better get those answers," Dinelli said. "Otherwise we may be faced with a situation of evicting."

Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White is among many critics of the facility's addiction-treatment plan that is based on the teachings of the founder of the Church of Scientology and includes vitamin and sauna treatments.

"If anything were to go wrong out there, we wouldn't even know what we're dealing with," White said. "This is a real safety risk for the people of Bernalillo County."

He said the busing of patients should mean no more chances for Second Chance.

"Shut them down," White said. "It's time to put them out of business."

However the city, which leases a former jail near the Double Eagle II Airport to Second Chance, isn?t quite at that point yet.

"We're going to be asking for a further explanation as to what happened this morning," Dinelli said.

News 13 attempted to reach Second Chance President Joy Westrum but instead got a return call from her number from a man who declined to identify himself. However he said he was speaking for Westrum in saying that News 13 was presenting "a false picture to the public."

However the man did not address any of News 13's questions.

If the city decides to evict Second Chance it would take at least 30 days. Dinelli said he'll spend this holiday weekend reviewing the documentation Second Chance provided late Wednesday.

Scientology is clearly playing cat and mouse. Coming in to a town at the whim of the night. Then leave like a thief in the night. The question is now: Where are the 8 people who skipped town? It proves that they are a flight risk and a nationwide manhunt should be in order. Fake Rehab, its more likely than you think.

Tom Cruise Tries to Punk Movie Reviewers

From Courtney Hazlett of the National Broadcasting Company

"Distractingly bad," and "unengaging Nazi escapade" are among some of the reviewers' comments attached to "Valkyrie," Tom Cruise's film that opens Christmas day.

Cruise's people can't be happy —for the obvious reasons — but also, according to a source with radio station K-Earth 101, the Cruise camp was willing to go to great lengths to garner some positive publicity. In fact, they went so far as to offer a screening for anyone at the station and their friends at the Cruise home, if only they'd "say 'nice things' about the movie," according to the source.

Here's what's said to have happened. On Nov. 24, Mark Steines of "Entertainment Tonight" called into the show to discuss the exclusive interview "ET" had scored with Cruise. During the course of the interview with Lisa Stanley, Stanley mocks Cruise for not having a German accent in the film, says early viewers "laughed at it," and then asks, "Listen, I'm just curious how you have no German accent, so many delays, and now people are saying, 'It's fantastic!' It's impossible."

Impossible if you've seen the film ... maybe. Which is why, according to the radio station source, a member of Cruise's camp called the station to offer up a free friends and family screening.

"They offered to hold it in Tom's home — they didn't say if he'd be there or not," the source says. "We just had to agree to say 'nice things' about the movie."

Cruise's camp didn't respond to a request for comment.

As of last week, however, "Valkyrie" was tracking similar to Brad Pitt's "Curious Case of Benjamin Button," at least among women who said they would see the films.

This didn't come as a huge surprise to one industry expert, however.

"That data came out in the middle of Tom's publicity run for the film, and Brad's barely done any promotion for 'Ben Button,'" the source notes. "Don't forget, too, that there's a big difference between saying you'd see something and seeing it. We'll have to wait."
