Movie star and Scientology advocate, Tom Cruise, is doing his part to better the lives of 9/11 survivors and to bring them to the dark side. He’s promoting a Scientology clinic, that was founded in part by his wealth, in downtown Manhattan that offers free treatments to firefighters, cops and other rescue workers exposed to high levels of toxins at Ground Zero. Although the clinic has not been endorsed by the police or fire department, it has received thousands of dollars from the city. The New York Post says that the treatment “includes high doses of niacin to release fatty acids into the bloodstream, ingesting cold-pressed oil and sweating off ‘toxins’ in a sauna set at 140 to 180 degrees for 2 1/2 to five hours a day, with frequent showers,” following teachings by science-fiction writer turned Scientology inventor, L. Ron Hubbard. Tom is having a fund raiser for the cause, which includes honorary chairperson Patrick Bahnken, president of the Uniformed EMTs and Paramedics union and Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, as a co-chair. Mullins was quoted as saying that he signed up out of desperation. He said,

I’ll do anything to help my members. I’ve got to try to do something because no one else is doing it.

“Helping out” when no one else will is a good strategy in spreading a cult. Get them while they are desperate. And shame on New York City for giving funds to such unsubstantiated treatments. These poor people should be given money for real medical treatments instead. Check out the NY Detox website with its loads of happy faces (think Katie Holmes happy.)
