Stephen Serenelli’s Scientology Cancer Diet Experience: Read It And Weep

5 Comments Posted by on October 4, 2009

stephen serenelliOn October 26, 2004, Stephen Serenelli died of bowel cancer.

Initially he was treated conventionally, but under the strong influence of his wife Eileen and Ian Shillington, a naturopathic doctor and Scientologist, he decided to follow alternative treatments only.

The alternative treatments made him feel weak and miserable and resulted in his tumour becoming inoperable. This almost certainly shortened his life considerably and seriously compromised his quality of life. The fact that the alternative treatments wore him out so much may have decreased his survival time even more.

Shortly before his death, Serenelli wrote a letter to his ND Ian Shillington. Serenelli also kept a diary during his illness.

    This is sad. The same story for all the alternatives, to spend all the time following useless treatments until the hopes are very few.
    I write some note in a next post on my blog.
    Bye

    I just can’t help wondering how his wife must feel now. And this ‘doctor’ Ian Shillington – who in my opinion isn’t worth that title, not even as a naturopathic one.

    I stumbled across the diary back in 2005 and read through it several times. Very touching. It was a sudden and bitter surprise to find that the naturopathy did no more than a placebo, and possibly even less.

    Scientology… from what I’ve gathered from them… their treatments are just… just… retarded.

    It goes like this:

    Operator (we should give the guy a name): Commence assist. Look at that picture. Now look at that chair. Now look at that pigeon. Now look at that pencil. Now look at that phone. (And after having the assisted person look at lots of stuff) End of assist.

    And that is a treatment.

    This one stroke me because it’s supposed to make people sober.

    I guess the patients response would be like: Shaddup ‘n bring me another dring or I hurts ya.
