Scientology/endocrine system

Question
Can a person be in total control of his endocrine system? Iam asking this question because I read in scientology you can achieve this

Answer
It used to be a theoretical target of Dianetics.  I'm not aware of anyone for whom this is or has been achieved.

The endocrine system merely mediates aspects of the relationship between the spirit ("thetan") and the body.  The target in Scientology is not to address the body, but the spirit - and to optimize the actual self.  Bodily concerns can then be observed to follow in order.

I am able to answer questions regarding Scientology practices and procedures, religious philosophy, donations, religious rites, management, administrative and staff matters.

Experience

I am a second generation Scientologist whose parents began in Dianetics in 1950 and studied directly with L. Ron Hubbard. I have been personally active in the church for 42 years, have eleven years former staff experience in both technical and administrative areas, and extensive technical and administative training and counseling. I am "clear" and "OT." I come from an extended family of many religions, but my spouse and children are Scientologists, as are my siblings and their spouses, several cousins, nieces, nephews, an aunt, and an uncle. Between us we have had every good and bad experience one might go through in the church at every level.
