There are three types of assists.

They are:

1. Contact Assist

2. Touch Assist

3. Dianetic Assist

They are quite different from each other.

They are very effective when properly done.

Clears, OTs and Dianetic Clears may be run on NED for OTs, Contact Assists and Touch Assists. It is forbidden, however, to run Dianetics on anyone who is Clear or above. (Ref: HCOB 12 Sept 78 Dianetics Forbidden On Clears And OTs.)

A preclear with a severe injury or illness can be run on all three and should be.

If the handling is very soon after injury, burns do not blister, breaks heal in days, bruises vanish.

But to obtain such results it is necessary that the C/S and auditor or auditor alone know and respect the assist tech. It is too often a toss-off, only one kind being done and then not to EP.

Every assist must end with an F/N (at Examiner or checked on a meter).

Done off meter at the physical mest universe location of the injury. EP — pain gone. Cog. F/N.

See BTB 9 Oct 67R, Assists For Injuries.

Done in session on the meter. EP pain gone. Cog. F/N.

An unconscious pc can be audited off a meter by taking his hand and having him touch nearby things like pillow, floor, etc. or body without hurting an injured part.

A person in a coma for months can be brought around by doing this daily.

One tells them a hand signal like, “Press my hand twice for ‘Yes,’ once for ‘No,’” and can get through to them, asking questions and getting “Yes” and “No” hand responses. They usually respond with this, if faintly, even while unconscious.

When one has the person conscious again one can do the assists.

First aid rules apply to injured persons.

In making them touch something that was moving, stop it first.

In making them touch things that were hot, cool them first.

When possible make them hold the things they were holding, if any, while doing a contact assist.

If after a Touch or Contact Assist they don’t F/N when taken to or given an exam, check for O/R and if no F/N take them away and complete the assist.

Dianetic Assists can be run Quad.

This is important tech. It saves pain and lives. Know it and use it.
