so openly.
Hubbard's prohibition here against prescribing vitamins is curious,
because one of the fundamentals of his Purification Rundown is
dangerously high doses of Niacin. Obviously he did not take his own
advice. Yet he's so concerned about being charged with illegally
practicing medicine that he warns against even recommending diets.
Inconsistency is one of his hallmarks, and the alternation within this
one document between sweeping claims and paranoid defensiveness is
definitely in character.
This same magazine article is incorrectly cited as just "Level 0
Checklist" in the Emmons Report, an extensive multi-volume report on
Scientology produced by Lt. Ray Emmons of the Clearwater Police
Department in the mid 1980s. Below is an excerpt from that report:
The SCIENTOLOGY organization exploits every opportunity to hide behind
their so called religious status. This posture is epitomized by a
SCIENTOLOGY document entitled, Level O Checklist. In the Level O
Checklist, instructions are given to SCIENTOLOGY members who are
approached by medical doctors while these members are attempting to
employ SCIENTOLOGY methods and practices to patients in hospitals and
nursing homes. The Instructional Guide states the SCIENTOLOGY member
is to claim religious status when approached by a medical doctor if
the doctor is disturbed or displeased with the SCIENTOLOGISTS
administering medical treatment to the patient. If the SCIENTOLOGY
Member is arrested, a lawyer will be provided immediately and a suit
is to be instituted in excess of $100,000 against the doctor and
anyone else that it might be advantageous to sue for violating the
SCIENTOLOGIST'S first amendment rights in practicing religion on the
patient.
## Fishman Exhibit G
Below is a reproduction of parts of Exhibit G of the Fishman
declaration. Court-stamped page numbers appear in parentheses at the
bottom. The full exhibit occupies pages 56-58 of the declaration
(with 55 being a cover page) and reproduces approximately 4 pages of
an article that occupies 27 pages in the red volumes. The version of
Exhibit G given here is further abbreviated somewhat, in order to
avoid quoting more extensively than necessary from a copyrighted work.
Numbers appearing in dashes are the page numbers from the original
magazine article.

As a subdivision of general public to general public we have the
problem of the professionals which might consider Scientology to be
antipathetic to them, amongst these would be psychologists and
medical doctors as well as psychiatrists. These persons are entirely
in error when they express the opinion that Scientologists are against

22 percent, of the public, benefit. Therefore, any practice or art
can always achieve 22 per cent recovery in their patients. It is when
we better this 22 percent, that we are being efficient. We have no
more quarrel with a psychologist that we would have with an Austra-
lian witch-doctor. We have no quarrel with a pychiatrist any more
that we would quarrel with a barbarian because he has never heard
of nuclear physics. As to the medical doctor, we know very
well that modern medical practice, having lately outgrown
phlebotomy, has come of age to point where is can regulate structure
in a most remarkable and admirable way. In Scientology we believe
a medical doctore definitely has his role in a society just as an engineer
has his role in civil government. We believe that a medical doctor
should perform emergency operations such as those made necessary
by accidents; that he should perform orthopeadics; that he should
deliver babies; that he should have charge of the administration of
drugs; that his use of antibiotics is beneficial; and that wherever
he immediately and curatively addresses structure his is of use in a
community. The only place we would limit a medical doctor is in
the field of treatment of psychosomatic medicine, where he has ad-
mittedly and continously failed, and the only thing we would ask a
medical doctor to change about his practice is to stop taking money
for things he knows he cannot cure, i.e., spiritual, mental, psycho-
somatic, and social ills.

Should you ever be arrested for practicing Scientology, treating
people, make very sure, long before the time somes, that you have
