We all remember Tom Cruise educating Matt Lauer on the so-called "pseudoscience" of psychiatric medication. This is in line with Scientology's reported "worldwide war against psychiatry," as outlined in a 2014 study (via National Library of Medicine). John Travolta agreed with Cruise's stance, telling W Magazine (via Access) in 2007, "I don't disagree with anything Tom says. ... I still think that if you analyze most of the school shootings, it is not gun control. It is (psychotropic) drugs at the bottom of it."

In Travolta's case, his reported opposition to medication allegedly could have had dire consequences. The New York Post reported that Travolta's late son, Jett, may have been negatively impacted by his parents' possible refusal to give him medication. Instead, for his Kawasaki syndrome, Travolta and Kelly Preston apparently subjected Jett to "detoxification," which involved saunas and dieting as a means of "purification." According to a source for CBS News, Jett was initially on an anti-seizure drug, but his parents took him off it, supposedly due to the possibility of organ failure. As The Atlantic argued at the time, "If Jett Travolta's seizures remained untreated for theological reasons, the debate is just starting."

When Kelly Preston died of cancer, The Blast reported that fans began to question whether she, too, had been denied life-saving drugs, though there is no evidence backing up such claims. Regardless, Travolta is known for his interest in alternative medicine. As Josh Brolin recounted to The New Yorker, Travolta allegedly once "cured" Marlon Brando's leg pain using psychic healing powers, an incident which Travolta's lawyer denied.
