I&#8217;m talking about L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, and his outlandish claims about radiation poisoning.<\/p>\n<p>Hubbard, in his infinite wisdom, wrote a book called <span style=\"color: #175c6b;\"><em><strong>&#8220;All About Radiation.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/span> Now, this wasn&#8217;t your average science text. No, sir! This book claimed that simple vitamin courses could cure radiation poisoning and even cancer. Yeah, you read that right. Vitamins. Not exactly the kind of advice you want to take from someone who claims to be a nuclear physicist.<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s the kicker: Hubbard wasn&#8217;t actually a qualified physicist.

He even claimed to have been offered a government post as one, which is about as believable as me saying I&#8217;m a rocket scientist because I watched a few episodes of &#8220;Star Trek.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When people started questioning his credentials, Hubbard was pretty defensive. He insisted that his mail-order degree made him a <span style=\"color: #175c6b;\"><em><strong>&#8220;perfectly valid doctor.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/span> But just a month later, he suddenly announced he was resigning his Ph.D. in protest. Seems like even he couldn&#8217;t keep up the charade anymore.<\/p>\n<p>This whole saga is a stark reminder that we should always be critical of what we read and hear. Just because someone claims to be an expert doesn&#8217;t mean they are. It&#8217;s important to do your research and question the sources of information, especially when it comes to something as serious as radiation poisoning.<\/p>\n<p>So, next time you come across a claim that seems too good to be true, remember L. Ron Hubbard and his vitamin cure for radiation poisoning. It&#8217;s a reminder that sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction. And that a little bit of skepticism can go a long way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20230328082317\/https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/All_About_Radiation\"><strong>From Wikipedia<\/strong><\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>All About Radiation is one of the books by L.

Its first printing was from HASI (Hubbard Association of Scientologists International) by way of the Speedwell Printing Company, Kent, England, 1957. Later editions were published by the Church of Scientology\u2019s in-house publisher Bridge Publications.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The book is controversial for its claims, amongst other things, that radiation poisoning, and even cancer, can be cured by courses of vitamins.

His degree was from the unaccredited Sequoia University, a diploma mill. The one course in nuclear physics Hubbard took was in 1931 at George Washington University, whose records indicate that he scored an F in the course. Hubbard dropped out of school shortly thereafter, with a 2.28 grade point average.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Hubbard referred to himself as a nuclear physicist on many occasions in the 1950s, such as in the tape-recorded 1956 lecture A Postulate Out of a Golden Age, where he not only claimed to be a nuclear physicist but that he was offered (and turned down) a U.S. Government post as one. This comment has been edited out of the CD version of the lecture currently offered by the L. Ron Hubbard Classic Lectures series.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In February 1966, Hubbard defended his mail-order degree: \u201cI was a Ph.D., Sequoia\u2019s [sic] University and therefore a perfectly valid doctor under the laws of the State of California\u201d. But only a month later, he announced: \u201cHaving reviewed the damage being done in our society with nuclear physics and psychiatry by persons calling themselves \u201cDoctor\u201d [I] do hereby resign in protest my university degree as a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.
