Where is that file please?
Yes, Ginger has/had severe PTSD. She was (understandably) frightened, edgy, and had trouble sleeping. She also had medical problems and was in physical pain. Professional counseling was available to her through some government programs, but I don't believe she used it, though she did make use of a program that paid for her reconstructive surgery (some of us helped her fill out the forms and things for that). I don't think Ginger was ever completely over the "all psychiatry is bad" mindset that Scientology teaches, but she also lived kind of in the middle of nowhere. Excessive traveling was physically problematic for her so it would have been hard for her to see a decent psychiatrist on a regular basis even if she had the desire to do that. She needed to move but her PTSD made her too afraid to do so. It is/was a terrible situation.
The best way I can explain the gist of his "emeter ideas" to the electrically challenged is that when a non-grounded human biomass is trickle-charged by an electrical current containing live amperage (which is to say amperage is the electronic bite, of the current flow called voltage) the pc's electrical field builds and becomes overwhelmed until one is half giddy after a 2.5 hour session.
My argument in regard to this was, and is, that I have had many sessions:
Yes, but his point was that the electronic trickle charging coupled with the deposits of metallic ions left a person with long term deleterious effects that would long be felt out of session, augmenting the hypnotic effects of Scientology's assault on our senses.
Are you sure? That's an unprovable/unfalsifiable hypothesis, effectively useless. I wouldn't have used my refutation with Arnie if that's what he was saying, but I can't be bothered to dig up the relevant threads here.
The ionic transfer of metallic ions through electrolysis was first discovered in the 1930's and 1950's in Germany and the U.S.
Interesting...i glanced over an article by him and if I remember right he mentioned it could cause calcium build up in the cell? This was interesting to me as plaque is calcium build up. What metal ions do you refer to and how do they deposit from where the cans?
Unfortunately I don't remember what metals are used to coat a soup can, Arnie did have that information however.
Done! Your wish is my command.Hi Stratty,
Please remove that link from your post.

I was referring to "left a person with long term deleterious effects that would long be felt out of session, augmenting the hypnotic effects of Scientology's assault on our senses", not challenging electroplating of metals.
I'm also wondering about the "red flag event" claim there, that there were 4 suicides in GS's family (including 2 of her ex-husbands).
Your first question about the suicides, 2 being ex husbands purportedly, I'm equally baffled by. Kind of a torturous rumor if it's untrue. Hopefully someone can shed some light on it.
Interesting concept that calcium would build up within cells. I always thought of excess calcium deposits when it is expelled by the cells into the bloodstream and builds up in tissues and other places (kidney stones, joints, arterial plaque, etc. https://www.healthline.com/health/calcification#types ). Arterial plaque is partially calcium, but not dental plaque, btw.)
Wikipedia said:
Yeah, I know the old cans were primarily tin coated but I'm not sure if there is a formulary blend of metals involved so as to stop the tendency to rust or what, like chromium added possibly. Of course there will be those who still practice "Hubbard's tech" to varying degrees as practicing clams who will not be able to accept the science of an electrical current transport of metallic ions into and onto biological systems no matter the proof as they find it an inconvenient truth and upsetting, enough so that they became seething Lerma haters the more he had to say about emeter dangers. The salts, minerals and acidic ph necessary to facilitate ionic transfer in the laboratory are all contained within the human body.
