I don't have time to give an analysis but I wanted to share the following info I collected on the web to develop some theories of Bree's pills and injections.

Regarding iron pills:

Iron deficiency is very common in the United States and around the world, and you're particularly at risk when you're pregnant. That's why your practitioner tests your blood for anemia at your first prenatal appointment. If your test indicates that you're anemic, you'll need to take even more iron, usually 60 to 120 mg a day...
(courtesy babycenter.com)

Regarding shots:

Intramuscular injection is the injection of a substance directly into a muscle [such as the deltoid]...

Examples of medications that are sometimes administered intramuscularly are:

* codeine
* methotrexate
* metoclopramide
* olanzapine
* Streptomycin
* many vaccines
* diazepam
* prednisone
* Interferon beta-1a
* sex hormones, such as testosterone, estradiol valerate, and Depo Provera

I'm anemic. I've been anemic my entire life. I have no kids. Sometimes people have a hereditary condition that makes them chronically anemic. Let's not jump to too many conclusions.

I've not seen anyone mention this, though I may have just missed it. What if the shots are some poison that she is being administered so as to develop an immunity. I'm particularly thinking snake venom. Snakes figure prominately in Egyptian mythology (Ra was bitten by a venomous snake). The Dendera reliefs have snakes on them.

Venomous snake handling is an obscure, but not uncommon religious practice. Some of them take regular shots, intramuscular no less, to build up an immunity to bites. Some venom injections can cause pain and scaring. Maybe the pills are to help with that problem or maybe they are part of a more elaborate mithridatism process? I did fine one note that snake venom can cause a decreased platelet count. Back to the iron pill idea again?

Hmm.

Asclepius... Ophiucus... Imhotep... Haoma.

You know I think cbowen4 might be on to something there?
Snake Venom???? hmmm

What is it though that connects all this... There is the connection of Astronomy to Science and Religion, Free will Vs. Determinism, I just can't find any really pattern in all of this...

It's not surprising that the cult would control her diet. I'm sure many do it, here is the case of one:

http://www.rickross.com/reference/vip/vip4.html

The body is usually a sacred thing in many religions (hate to generalize) as in some medicine is forbidden, in others, certain foods (like meat), or specific types of medicine (like anti-depressants) are forbidden if not severely frowned upon.

So it's clear that the injections and dieting are part of the ceremony (as Gemma has said, another previous chosen girl had the same injections). And LG said herself that she was very weak at some point.

Perhaps the diet was more than just a "no-junk-food" deal. Perhaps she was fasting. The videos mention a Purity Bond, or something, right? It's possible she was fasting...like Muslims do for Rhamadan. Maybe she wasn't STARVING, but seriously fasting. Perhaps eating only simple foods and only eating them at very specific times (as she mentions, the religion is very in tuned with the position of planets, so perhaps she was only able to eat then the sun was down or something).

This would explain the shots as well. If she was in fact fasting (perhaps to ensure that her body was totally pure at the ceremony--like a detox program), then perhaps the shots were to keep her healthy. Perhaps the shots were vitamins, or anti-biotics to make sure that she was not only pure, but strong enough to go through with whatever is entailed at the ceremony.

A detox, purification program. It's hard not to eat normal foods, and to have a pure mind without temptation...this is where Lucy would have come into the picture...a guide to help Bree with this very important passage into adulthood in the cult. (Remember Katie Holmes Scientologist "Friend"?).

Pure virgin, pure body, pure mind... pure acceptance of her "religion"
