Interesting comment about bipolar disorder which I hadn't thought of:
There's so much speculation and controversy surrounding Jett Travolta's medical history and death. We asked Dr. Charles Sophy, Medical Director for the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, to shed some light.
"I think it's eye-opening that someone with that severity of seizures is only on Depakote when there are so many more specific seizure medications that are used today, such as Tegretol or Neurotin -- which are the two biggest seizure drugs on the market and the first choices by doctors all over the nation," Dr. Sophy says. "It's hard to believe that a family like the Travoltas with the resources they have that they would use Depakote to treat Jett's seizures."
"Interestingly enough, Depakote is often not even used as a seizure drug anymore," Dr. Sophy continues. "What we do know is the Travoltas are Scientologists and that means they don't believe in psychiatry, so maybe their doctor prescribed Depakote to both stabilize Jett's mood and to treat the seizure disorder as well. We will never know if Jett was on Depakote for a seizure disorder or a mood disorder such as bipolar disorder."
but then again, bipolar disorder is likely taboo with the Church as well.
Just incredible what scientologists do to you once you sign that contract. Think the cult isn’t dangerous to adults???..let alone children... below are just two examples..How can John Travolta be a part of this group???!! Amazing that Clinton used the State Department to promote them. I wonder what else he got and/or was promised. I bet they call on the new Clinton in the State Department.
“In Sardinia, she claims to have been forced to remain locked up in a
“disgusting room” on the first floor of the house, guarded by two young
people who did not speak to her, with a basin for sanitation and only a
tee-shirt for clothing. A woman also lived in the house. She claims to
have written an S.O.S message with lipstick on cardboard which she threw
into the garden of neighbours who alerted the police. “

“Roberto was tired - she said - he wanted to leave that cult but was unable to do so. He was changed, he stopped his studies, he didn’t play his music any longer. He told me that they brainwashed him, that they wanted more and more money. That they threatened him to disclose the intimate things he had revealed during the meetings of the group. He was terrified, he even locked me inside because he feared they would kill me. My husband and I even decided to leave Cagliari: the nex day Roberto committed suicide, he wanted to save us”
