Scientology abuses on my family part 3
Scientology medical claims and medical dilettantism
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part III
Scientology offers medical services without any qualifications for doing so and behaves in amateur and crude way. Ill people are discriminated against in Scientology as "out-ethics" I have the following proof for that:
Uwe was diagnosed in 1997 that he suffers from multiple sclerosis. Because of this diagnosis he was left by his wife Laurisse Stuckenbrock, so that she could continue her Sea Org career at the side of David Miscavige.
Uwe tried to leave the Sea Org because of this dreadful injustice and had already "blown" – then however was lured back by Laurisse, "He should not make such a stupidity." In the hope the relationship with Laurisse could be maintained, he came back.
Because of his illness and because he had blown, he was assigned to a RPF (in 1997-2001) Happily Valley/RPF INT). "Sick employees are considered to be "out ethics" and first have to work hard at themselves in an RPF program (working themselves upwards in three stages) to be "allowed" again to produce perfectly. With his severe MS, he spent the rest of his life in such a "labor camp". From 2001 till 2007 he lived in the PAC RPF (Blue Building) in Los Angeles. From 2007 up to his death he was accommodated in Royal Palm Convalescent hospital 630 Broadway in Los Angeles where he finally passed away on the 6th October, 2008, in the end.
Because in a RPF the communication to outside world is extremely suppressed, Uwe, in my opinion did not have the opportunity to freely find out and to inform himself in detail about his illness. Medical assistance is only provided by Scientologists when all Hubbard techniques (Assists, cleaning rundowns, Auditing, ethics programs) do not help or if the state of health is so bad that the life of the concerned person is in danger. Furthermore most Scientologists with illnesses forgo the necessary medications because they do not want to interrupt their Auditing or because they want to be cured by Auditing. The case supervisor decides whether Auditing may continue when taking a certain medication.
The promises made by Mr. Hubbard in numerous publications regarding the healing of severe illnesses by Auditing and his numerous campaigns of hate against conventional medicine and psychiatry and against "anaesthetic drugs" in general subsequently leads to most Scientologists forgoing the much-needed medication and to search for salvation in auditing instead. This dangerous mechanism caused by the false promises made in Hubbard's writings very likely led to my brother not taking or not accepting a much-needed therapy by treatment through medication against his multiple sclerosis. Written information about the false hopes created in my brother by the healing promises in L. Ron Hubbard's writings will most probably be found by police investigators in his PC folders (his auditing records),
For people who are trapped in the Sea Org or even in the RPF and thus cut off completely from the free world, free thinking and neutral information (the post is opened, they can not make phone calls without supervision, contact with the outside world and the family is completely prohibited on the lowest level of the RPF), the risk of such a fate is even much greater. The possibilities to cover up such fates are made easier by the controlling system in the Sea Org, so that I assume that my brother certainly isn't the only victim of this suppressive machinery which despises people. Example given, I knew another victim in person (Heribert Pfaff who was from my home town Friedrichshafen) and I'm aware of numerous other casualties - who could still be alive today were it not for the Church of Scientology's amateurish approach when it comes to illnesses- through my internet research concerning my brother's death.
Since he had or a period of 30 years, only received the usual Sea Org salary ($30 a week - in the RPF $ 11.46 per week.), he could not have formed any financial reserves, which could have offered him additional possibilities in his tragic situation. So he was left with the Church of Scientology as his only possibility, even a return to his home country would only have been possible if his family would have a big property at their disposal over there to pay for his medical treatment and/or for his accomodation at a centre. After all, he never had paid money into the statutory health insurance scheme in Germany.
My brother - with his severe multiple sclerosis by 2004 - had to sleep and "live" together with up to 40 other RPF members in a small room crowded with bunk beds.
Depending on how good or bad his current condition was, either one or two RPF participants supported him and gave him "care". If my research is correct, then none of these people had any form of state-certified qualified medical or nursing training. As I said, they were RPF members who had been transferred to the RPF as a disciplinary measures for some reason. The following people had looked after my brother over the years: Steven Wills, Tom Brandis, Alan Povall and Karen J. Wagoner.
Particularly in the last years in which an intensive care of Uwe was necessary - he could only move his head, it would have been essential to use certified nurses, in order to maintain his health (and to stabilize his quality of life on a high level) for as long as possible. Here it would been important to execute effective pressure sores prevention, to make a professional plan for his care and also to allow for an effective prevention of pneunomia."
I have an official certificate as a curative education nurse and speaking with professional experience of 18 years in my job I am sure that any layman was overwhelmed by this, no matter how well-intentioned and that inevitably mistakes in the care took place. Again, the arrogance of the Church of Scientology becomes quite clear - they believe in everything by their religion and organization come to grips with no matter whether the persons that are qualified or not. Because Hubbard said he had found the best solution for all problems in this world. What a stupid arrogance of an individual human being.
For years, we (Uwe's family in Germany) were either lied to or not informed about his constantly worsening condition. Everything was always good, or would certainly become good again. We were always told that when we demanded to finally use medication against his MS. He would get Auditing , which supposedly had already shown initial success. He would be detoxified on a purification rundown and would get vitamins and it would make him better, the cause - old amalgan fillings in his teeth, the poisons in his body (presumably still from his youth in Germany) was now found and they would go to a dentist, then certainly everything would become better quickly, a whole new expensive water treatment would be applied to him and would soon contribute to his healing, etc.
All attempts by us to help Uwe with medical therapies and medications were consistently, succesfully rejected by the Church of Scientology.
We were also obviously being lied to about the possibility to bring Uwe back to Germany. My mother was already told in 2003 that Uwe couldn't be brought back to Germany. At my father's last visit with my brother in LA (2007!), his superiors offered to him to take him back to Germany. At this point it certainly has to be said that my father has been a extremely convinced Scientology staff member for more than 30 years now. My mother separated from my father in 1980 and we were not and we are not active Scientologists or opponents of Scientology. This offer of Uwe's superiors was for the following reasons a barefaced farce. For many years Uwe is held in the RPF and his health finally gets completely lost due to the false treatment. Then at the moment when he isn't articulate and can't spill any secrets anymore (when he was still well he was the chief of security of Scientology Int.) his father gets the generous offer of taking Uwe back to Germany.
I have reason to suspect that my brother because of his multiple sclerosis was very rare seen by a doctor, who was independent of Scientology . Rather, it is usual in the Sea Org to bring ill people and above all seriously ill people only to hospitals and to doctors that are either infiltrated by Scientology or strongly influenced by Scientology.
As far as I have been able to investigate up to now, Uwe never got drugs against his quickly spreading multiple sclerosis. Here the medical documents of my brother should be thoroughly examined to be able to uncover this fatal mistake for Uwe.
-when he was getting worse it was even harder to reach him. Sometimes I called three times before he (was allowed?) called (to call) back.
-in earlier times (before 2002) we were always told that Uwe is working on secret material and that this is the reason for this "bad communication".
-I first recognized that Uwe's health is really worse was just after my mother died.(March 2004) She had cancer and it was clear that she will not survive the next two days. So I called to LA and asked if Uwe please could call back in order to speak to her a last time. But Uwe did not call back. I called there about ten times until I was in such a rage that I screamed on them on the phone that our mother is dying and they just give me their bla bla etc. then Uwe called back just a few minutes after our mum passed away. And this was the very first moment I recognized how bad he was doing. He hardly could control his words because of his MS.
-after this I tried one more year to get information by calling in LA. I only got "good food, nice weather" statements about my brother's situation. And they always promised to keep us informed. But we only got information when we called there.
-I felt so helpless and this made me so angry that I decided to give the responsibility to my father - he was and is still an active Scientologist and so is his third wife. Her mum was in the Sea Org in the US at that time and I thought that maybe this connections will help to get good information and some help to Uwe.
- my father did not know anything about the severe situation of his son Uwe. But he promised me to look after him and keep me informed. Even inside the Church the communication seems to be very bad and “Black PR” is hidden very effective.
-he promised me that the guy who cares for Uwe will keep us informed at least every two weeks. But we only were informed once some days after my dad promised us that we will be better informed in the future. Then never again.
- after my dad called me on October 8. in order to tell me that Uwe has died I was looking for some information about his funeral in LA. And what I found was the letter of the RPF Insider. Before I thought Uwe was a high ranking Sea Org member in good standing - but what I found out by contacting people via internet who lived and suffered with him in the RPF was a total different reality. I was so stupid all those years!
However, what is extremely important to me is the fact that Uwe - according to my information - , when he wanted to leave the Sea Org in 1997 due to his illness and the experienced injustices that were connected to this, was held back and thereby kept in this deadly trap for him in my opinion against his will. In regards to this, the appropriate investigators should study my brother's personal ethic files really closely in order to uncover a possible inhuman crime.
"The bottom line is that Scientologists SOMETIMES seek conventional medical treatment for medical conditions, but only upon tightly controlled and monitored approval by the non-medically trained Scientology Case Supervisor, and this usually after it becomes apparent that all internal Hubbard technological approaches would fail to provide an adequate resolution of the condition "
In the case of my brother Uwe Stuckenbrock the above formulated fact has lead to a very cruel suffering and a absolute unnecessary death.
