Catherine, honestly, I have no idea what on earth you are talking about.

None of us have any clue how they addressed his condition within their family. It was said that when he was young they were so germ conscious that they had the carpets cleaned very frequently. When he started acting like something was not right, developmentally, they apparently had him checked repeatedly and came to the conclusion that he had Kawasaki disease... or syndrome... or whatever it's called. There was speculation within the medical (or homeopathic - not quite sure) community that the chemical in carpet cleaner caused that disease.

We have no idea what attempts they made to rid his body of toxins, etc. Personally, I think a lot of that is bunk, but what I'm trying to say is that it sounds like they did go to great lengths to find answers. Scientology is bizarre and I don't remotely subscribe to it, but it does sound like within the realm of their belief system - that natural products are best and manmade chemicals can do more harm than good, particularly given that they believed a chemical caused his malady, it seems to me like avoiding them would have been the route they would have pursued on his behalf.

Seriously - I think you are way out of line here.
