Tom Cruise buys sonogram machine for Katie Holmes

Did they buy a megaphone too, so they can get a jump on the programming?

A. Does Tom even know how to read a sonogram? Does he have an expert coming in to administer the procedure?

B. Does Tom realise that there is evidence as to the ill effects of sonograms on the foetus? That while a few sonograms over the course of a pregnancy are disturbing to the senses of the developing baby, but probably acceptible, administering frequent sonograms could be seriously damaging to his unborn child?

C. What is this man smoking?

Ok, that alice was not me, but I wish it had been.
Hi other alice! I LOVE your comment!

Is it just me that thinks Tom C is creepy? I mean, I don't know what it is, it's not even because of going with a younger woman (like THAT'S never happened before in history), it's just...Ugh. I don't know. He freaks me out.

Also, did he REALLY go on TV and say that depressed people shouldn't be given medication if they need it? And wasn't he quoted somewhere saying that Katie wasn't going to cry out during labour because she would 'upset' the baby??

Um, Tom? Two things.
a) Which medical college did you graduate from? Whichever one it was, I think a legal team could make a good case.
b) good luck when the realities of child birth sets in for your darling finacee. If I were you, for your own safety, I'd stand there in that delivery room, hold her hand while she screams and curses, and shut the Hell up. K?

Clear? Good.

I'm not a scientologist, and don't know much about it...but I do think natural is good. I would never say that depressed people shouldn't take medication....that's a choice. But I would like to believe there are more natural methods for healing imbalances in the body and mind that are effective. Like when you have a headache, you can choose to take a painkiller for quick relief....or you could choose any number of natural methods--massaging accupressure points, yogasanas, herbal teas, homeopathy, etc, which may take longer, but may still be effective. Some people even choose to try and heal cancer with natural methods, believing that allopathic medicine's methods for dealing with cancer do more harm than good. I think that is a very courageous choice. Whatever way one chooses is their own personal choice based on what they truly believe will be the most beneficial.

From what I gather, it seems scientology emphasizes natural methods of healing. I'm all for that (as a choice). Especially when it comes to childbirth. I really believe in the benefits of natural childbirth, which is why I chose to deliver my child out of the hospital with a midwife.

But if they are into natural childbirth, I don't get the sonogram thing. Most people who believe in natural childbirth feel that sonograms are not natural and are potentially damaging to the baby. Many do not believe in having them at all. And I'm sure nearly all would be appalled at the idea of owning a machine to look at the baby according to one's whims and fancies. It also takes away from the mother's intuitive connection with her child. The focus becomes external (the image they are seeing on the monitor), as opposed to the real live baby inside of her body. It just doesn't seem to mesh with the other ideas they've been putting out there. It almost makes it sound as if they are treating the baby as a toy, rather than as a sacred being. It's just weird. I don't get it.

I find it amazing that Tom Cruise can't abid by mental health, according to him and scientology its not natural to seek out a "mind" doctor if you are depressed like you would seek out a "cancer" doctor if you had cancer, but he can buy and use a sonagram machine? A guy who never graduated from high school? How stupid is she to go along with this nut job?? Boy, if I were her parents, I would have an intervention for her to get away from him! But then, hey, he has been married to two other women, one of whom, Mimi Rogers, divorced him and promptly remarried and had a couple kids--she was fertile apparently, and I assume if Nichole is engaged like rumors have it and also PG like rumors have it, he HAD to do something to make the world believe he is a "manly man" and can father a child!!! Nothing like being married to two fertile women and having them get PG AFTER they divorced you!! Get them young, and get them stupid and find a donor, and then go nuts thinking you are the smartest person in the world, make a spectacle of yourself to convinnce the world you actually are the father by buying a sonogram machine--scheesh...how desperate is he????? He says that psychiatrists are 'quack' medicine, well, what about a nutso high school drop out, brainwashed scientologist thinking this pregnancy is so much more important than anyone elses that he has to montiter it? Hey, do you think he is abusive, and by that I mean controlling her every move, I mean, checking her phone calls, her milage driven, who she talks to, etc? Sure sounds like it--YIKES!!
