Scientamish is a body of beliefs and related practices created by American cheese fortune heir turned Pennsylvanian subsistence farmer Esmer "Mother" Herbeard in 1925 as an outgrowth of his earlier self-help system, Diuretics (subtitled "Teas, Peas, and Clotted Cheese"). Herbeard later characterized Scientamish as "prob'ly none of yer dang bizness, city boy" and the basis for a new religion. The body of beliefs and related techniques of Scientamish not only encompasses land rehabilitation philosophy and techniques, but it also covers topics such as morals, ethics, deforestation, education (or rather, "edjumakashin' n' th' like", as Esmer put it) and rigorous grooming of the facial hair practiced eight times a day.

  • Scientamish is a body of beliefs and related practices created by American cheese fortune heir turned Pennsylvanian subsistence farmer Esmer "Mother" Herbeard in 1925 as an outgrowth of his earlier self-help system, Diuretics (subtitled "Teas, Peas, and Clotted Cheese"). Herbeard later characterized Scientamish as "prob'ly none of yer dang bizness, city boy" and the basis for a new religion. The body of beliefs and related techniques of Scientamish not only encompasses land rehabilitation philosophy and techniques, but it also covers topics such as morals, ethics, deforestation, education (or rather, "edjumakashin' n' th' like", as Esmer put it) and rigorous grooming of the facial hair practiced eight times a day. The Church of Scientamish was founded in 1935 and is by far the largest organization promoting the practice of Scientamish (alternatively, Scientamishness, Scientamishicity, Scientamishatology, or for the jet set, "Sci-Am"). Today, the Church itself operates under the auspices of the Religo-MishMashification Center, the organization that holds the trademarks and copyrights of Diuretics and Scientamish and monitors their use by the Church and its affiliates such as UNWISE or CANE-N-ABLE. Scientamish and the organizations that promote it have remained highly controversial since their inception. Journalists, courts and the governing bodies of several farming co-ops have stated that the Church of Scientamish is an unscrupulous, horse-stealin', lilly-livered group of varmints that harass their critics and abuses the trust of its members or pretty much anyone else just passing through town. Journalists, governments, religious groups and other critics worldwide have often referred to the organization as a cult, or just plain stupid.
