The Melanie Stokes Postpartum Depression Research and Care Act, also known as the Mothers Act, is a federal bill named after Melanie Stokes, a woman who suffered emotional difficulties after giving birth and was subsequently prescribed a cocktail of intensely controversial psychiatric drugs including anti-psychotic, anti-anxiety, and anti-depressant drugs (documented by the US FDA to cause worsening depression, mania and suicidal ideation) before being subjected to electroshock treatment.
Melanie Stokes was in the mental health system, was prescribed drugs, was hospitalized, was subjected to the still barbaric practice of electroshock and then committed suicide. That is what the mental health industry did for a new mother named Melanie Stokes. It is incredible that a story such as this does not raise alarm bells within Congress on the negligence of prescribing cocktails of psychiatric drugs to new mothers, drugs documented by the US FDA and international drug regulatory agencies to cause worsening depression, depersonalization, mania, psychosis, suicidal and homicidal ideation. Conversely the bill before Congress entitled the "Mothers Act", which already passed the House of Representatives and is now before the Senate, will assuredly increase new mothers being prescribed these deadly drugs, the most common treatment for women diagnosed with postpartum depression...."

Carol and David both completed the newly revamped Hubbard Dianetics Auditor Course and are ready to supervise you and audit you at the SoMa Mission. Here is what Carol had to say, "I had a wonderful time on the Hubbard Dianetics Auditors Course - with the fantastic new DVD, the step-by-step drills, and LRH's penetrating lectures, has given me the stable data of how to accomplish miracles every time. The materials are not difficult. The techniques are not difficult. I look forward to more wins from my preclears, as well as hearing the wins of the auditors who will be joining me in easing the troubles of family, friends, and the society at large. If you ever have had a moment in time where you wished you could deliver some effective help but hesitated...hesitate no more. Do this course. Have fun. Get effective!"
DL completed Confessional Auditing. He said, "I enjoyed my auditing very much. It was definitely a turning point for me. I have had a lot of auditing before this point and it was all amazing but this was very therapeutic for me. I now feel like I can look into the past and I don't have to cringe at the mistakes that I have made. This frees up a lot of my attention and allows me to go out there and live!
Elaine completed The Way to Happiness Book Course and says, "I feel the precepts of this course have made me aware that I can chart my own course instead of heading aimlessly along life's path. I have perimeters and a clearer destination ahead."
NR had a success on a drill on the Success Through Communication Course. He says, "This is amazing. I recently had been addressing “my” thetan (Scientology term for the person himself as a spiritual being) as a separate “thing”. Like my car, home, dog, career, a past moment or something in the future. Basically as “a thing”. Not in me, not me but some undefined thing that required little attention or concern. I kind of had a strong feeling that there was more to me than just my body but had rarely accessed it throughout my lifetime. I know that I have been guided by “me/thetan/I” all my life. In the most happy moments and most difficult moments because I have always had a strong sense of knowingness that I was okay and more importantly that everything was and is okay, in an eternal way. That I am a good thetan, have been before and will be again. This makes me smile. Can a thetan smile? I am.
RW completed Expanded Grade II. This auditing addresses the mechanism by which bitterness and hatred come into existence. The processes of Grade II enable a person to eradicate these hostilities and sufferings from his life. He said, "Hostilities in all forms can be handled and completion of Grade II gives one such a relief that everyone must do it!"
A.C. completed the Problems of Work Book Course. She says, "The best thing for me about this course was being able to help my husband understand why his boss is such a tyrant and how he can control him more effectively. I also really appreciated the definitions of good and bad control and how each will affect people, situations and environments. I also understand how important it is to keep high Affinity,Reality and Communication and be able to handle and control your tools and co-workers. This makes me feel more able just knowing what I know!"
Carol Nelson completed the :Route to Infinity Course and says, "This course was pure theta. There were points of relief - like 'Oh!' or 'THAT'S what I've been doing wrong!' I can apply this data to myself and others and feel I have another chunk of truth to become more cause.
R.W. completed the Handbook for Preclears and Life Continuum book and lecture course. He says, “These are fantastic lectures with a wonderful revealing of why people behave like other people. This increased my knowledge - certainty, understanding, usefulness. Although it may seem like more stuff to learn, it is making me a greater cause in my life.”
I have completed the course on the book The Way to Happiness and I find the principles and data that I have learned from this course are very rewarding in applying to everyday living. Of course it takes studying and practicing in order to apply correctly. But I am sure this will put one on the road to happiness. I recommend this course to anyone. Sincerely, M.S - professional ballroom dancer
RW completed Grade One. He says, "I highly recommend this process to anyone who is wondering if he should proceed or not. The reclaiming of ability and recall is astronomical when you’re no longer STUCK in the past. I now have so much more to cause in the present and future. I’ve found more data on my facsimiles so that my confidence has risen."
C.H. completed the book course for Self Analysis. He says, "While reading this book I felt I became more aware and in control of my environment."
M.S. completed the book course for Self Analysis and says, "This course was fantastic! I found that doing this course helped me mentally with personal problems that I am going through. It also helped me in my physical well being. The self auditing sections are a great help. I recommend the Self Analysis Course to all seeking self help."
A.C. had a success upon completion of The Way to Happiness book course. "I am thoroughly excited to start applying the precepts in this book that I have not already been applying and Ireally appreciate the reminder on why they are so important! I have already seen some changes in my relations with others: my husband, my kids, my co-workers and my friends I also look forward to setting a better example to those around me and to getting other to apply these wonderful tools."
This student completed the book course for Handbook for Preclears and says, "Now this book answers the big question that human beings have had for many years. I finally have the knowledge to help me along the way of life, especially if that road is rocky. I can now understand why and problems won't seem as big as they used to. I can see my goal now and it's to survive at the most desirable state as possible to conquer this universe. I see my dynamics clearly and have upmost ARC for them. They will help me along survival and I can help them as well. Understanding cause and effect have a great usefulness to me. Especially knowing that in order to be effect I have to give permission to be effect. That is mind blowing. I saw that my body and mind are capable of doing wrong or good. I can now see the Tone Scale clearly and my journey on it through out life, good or bad, and also the relations I had with certain people during those times and how that can effect you. I can now see and use this data to determine what state I'm at and how to better it. The axioms broke everything down for me to see clearly why I need to survive and why I am always moving towards something better. "
L.J. completed the book course for Problems of Work. She says, "This course offers guidance on how to make the best out of work. It gave me a more realistic and optimistic outlook on work. Knowing that work is actually the stable datum of life forced me to look at work as a source of comfort and security rather than a burden. It is work that gives life purpose. Throughout my time spent on this course, my work life presented numerous challenges. At my work I was faced with the reality of having my hours cut and unpredictable scheduling. After finishing my course, my job situation took a turn for the better. For the last couple of weeks I have been working more consistently and mostly on day shift rather than exclusively on graveyard shift. The concept that life is a game, and that work (which occupies most of our life) is just one more necessary game, forced me to view work as a challenging game, which can exert some control over."
When I read the definition of 8-8008 in the beginning of this book I understood it. But at the close, it is defined again. It seemed like an entirely different definition but it wasn't. I just had finally really got it! This is absolutely my favorite book. L. Ron Hubbard gave me the gift to create my own universe again successfully. I started crying (in a good way) when he said that our imaginations as a child are real, it's our own universe. And how we sink into agreement with the physical universe due to people invalidating our views and imagination. I remember sitting on the swings when I was five and having a conversation with two people that my older babysitter couldn't see. She invalidated me and got mad because I was giving them more attention then her. I had a really magical life up until that point. I'm starting to see peeks of it again. Everyday I practice disagreeing with the physical universe & I always end up with a big smile. It's so much fun! I feel free, like I dropped a lot of mental mass. Yes, I guess you could say I had some success with this book! Ml & thanks. L.G.. P.s. As a staff member, this book has changed my viewpoint and rocked my world. I'm not sure how I got products without it.
A.C. completed the Self Analysis Book course. Here is her success story: “This course opened my eyes to a lot of mistakes that can be made in parenting, some I am guilty of myself. I am extremely grateful to now know what not to do with my kids to ensure they group up happy and able. I am so excited to also use these lists on myself to become more able and happy and to better handle and adjust my environment to me. I will use this processing and this data for the rest of my life. Thank you!”
C.H. completed the Science of Survival Book course and says, "I liked reading
this book because while reading, my opinion of others increased and the data in this book is very practical because it gives you more control of your environment. You can spot the dangers of others well in advance and can also strengthen relationships that are more up tone. I understand the title now –You have to deal with others and this is the science behind your survival with others."
L.J. completed an intensive of Introductory Dianetics Auditing and says, “During the last session of my auditing intensive, I was asked to recall two additional incidents involving loss, as well as two incidents involving pleasure. I was very surprised with my own ability to recall and experience the emotions which I believed were repressed and lying dormant. In one incident regarding the loss of an aunt, I was able to visualize the condition of her body as well as the frame of mind I was in shortly before and after her death. I also found it beneficial to recount incidents of pleasure. During one incident which occurred only one year ago, I was able to relive a very wonderful and happy gathering which I hadn’t really dwelled on lately. Overall, I felt very calm and serene at the end of my session.”
J.M. completed the Advanced Procedures and Axioms Book Course. He says, “I had a great cognition about responsibility, efforts and counter-efforts. I began to be willing to be cause of a counter-effort and proceeded to assume cause of a counter-effort. The result was a shift from effect to cause!! I am and can be responsible!! I no longer feel that ‘clear’ is farfetched. I just need to take responsibility for being ‘clear and I will be ‘clear’!!!
