""The religion angle" also solved his problem with making medical claims. There were large lawsuits about that. Claims to cure things like cancer, blindness, deafness, and the common cold are in his "sacred scriptures" as Scientology call his writings. He was sued big time over this. The religion angle fixed it, because although you can not claim to cure disease using a device such as his "E-Meter". claims about miraculous healing are ok. The man was a genius and created the most successful scam of all time. E-Meters, now called "religious artifacts" still sell for thousands of dollars to followers, but every single one has a court ordered sticker saying the device by itself "does nothing". Whatta deal!" - Mike O'Connor
