Dianetics
L. Ron Hubbard discovered the single source of nightmares, unreasonable fears, upsets, insecurities and psychosomatic illness-the reactive mind. In his book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health he described the reactive mind in detail and laid out a simple, practical, easily taught technology to overcome it and reach the state of Clear. Dianetics is that technology. The word Dianetics is derived from the Greek dia, meaning "through," and nous, "mind or soul." Dianetics is further defined as "what the soul is doing to the body." When the mind adversely affects the body, it is described as a psychosomatic condition. Psycho refers to "mind or soul" and somatic refers to "body." Thus, psychosomatic illnesses are physical illnesses caused by the soul.
IRIDOLOGIST
Scientology is the religion that practices Dianetics. It was found by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard in 1952. Hubbard died in 1986, but the religion still has many followers today.
Dianetics is considered a pseudoscience because it lacks empirical evidence to support its claims and its methods have not been scientifically validated. The concepts and practices within Dianetics are not accepted by the scientific community due to their lack of rigorous scientific testing and methodology.
