I have heard about this. Apparently, a number of years ago, there was a claim that carpet cleaning solutions used in the Travolta household may have caused some of the neurological problems the Travolta’s child had.

I started a GREEN carpet cleaning company in Clearwater, Florida that promotes the use of only green cleansers and high temperature steam to clean. We do not rely upon carpet cleaning chemicals that are highly alkaline, have solvents, carcinogens, toxins or nauseous fumes like many other carpet cleaners. If you look at the MSDS of many of the typical carpet cleaning chemicals, it is loaded with hazardous materials.

There’s a statistic I like to quote….in 1900, 1 out of 10 people got cancer. In 2000, 1 out of 3 people got cancer. Obviously, the amount of carcinogens we have introduced into our environment has increased. We should all be looking to take a more natural approach to cleaning and to remove the dangerous chemicals as much as possible from our environment. The truth of the matter is that we just don’t know the long-term effects of repeated contact with these products. But, isn’t it better to be safe than sorry?

I thought L. Ron Hubbard’s book was fiction…Don’t know much about Scientology but it seems bizarre that normal people could buy into a thing like this…can someone enlighten me? Emotional imbalance is a real thing, and have been trying to deal with major depression and anxiety all my life…I am 60…Don’t get it…If you have tried everything else, therapy, counseling, etc…what else are you supposed to do? Meds are the last resort to me…Mine are not effective anymore, but I’m trying…Why would someone like John Travolta who I adore, allow his son to experience the seizures he had every 4 days or so and not think that that alone, is enough to kill anyone…The stress on the body has to be horrific…I love John and pray that he finds peace and no guilt…I just don’t get it…Help me undertand this strange “religion” that hangs on to beliefs from a book that WAS WRITTEN AS FICTION????? js

We now know Jett was taking a drug called Depakote, a strong anti-seizure medication. There have been reports Travolta refused to give his son anti-seizure meds because of Scientology but those stories are not true.

Also, there is a statement of the Church of Scientology now:

Our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Jett Travolta.. the death shouldn’t be blamed to anyone because definitely, they never wanted such thing to happen. Let us just pray for the soul of Jett that he may rest in peace..

While autism can not be diagnosed by appearances, autistic males have some traits commonly found. Slightly overweight, flaccid muscles, often a slump, the unwillingness to focus on the personality attempting to draw attention. Jett shared these characteristics. Nevertheless, his ability to function makes the form mild if in fact present, perhaps Jett has Asperger’s Syndrome . But autism is not fatal. In fact autistic males are frequently in better health than their peers, although they are far more accident prone. As for care, when Jett would have been diagnosed, between the ages of 2-5, the treatment prescribed by medical authorities would vary little than that of dedicated and concerned parents. Only recently have more focused medical treatments become available, and they are no sure thing by any definition. By all accounts, the Travolta’s were extremely dedicated and caring parents. I suspect we will find an entirely different disease at fault. Epilepsy? A tumor?
