The NCHRA Urges New York Fire Fighters be Tested For Liver Damage
|
|
With revelations that New York City fire fighters and emergency response personnel have been subjected to Scientology Inc.'s "purification" ritual, the National Coalition of Human Rights Activists urge fire fighters to seek medical examinations to test their liver functions.
It is alleged by some past NarConon customers that Scientology Inc.'s "treatment" involves the ingestion of toxic amounts of niacin and prolonged periods in a sauna. While medical experts are almost unanimous in their opinions that this treatment only removed salt and water from the human body, Scientology Inc. and its supporters allegedly believes that their program removes toxins, radiation, and illegal drugs from the body. Scientology Inc. apparently bases its "detox" treatment upon the belief that drugs are stored in body fat: the California School Board recently ejected Scientology's drug awareness program from California schools for this and other false teachings. [0]
"The sooner fire fighters have their livers checked the better off they will be," said NCHRA president David Rice. "I very much hope that the city of New York takes a pro-active stance regarding any liver damage that its heroes might have incurred due to the allegedly dangerous 'detoxification' program."
The recommended daily consumption of niacin is from 14 milligrams to 35 milligrams; Scientology's "purification" program involves the consumption of from half a gram (500 milligrams) to five grams (5,000 milligrams). High doses of niacin such as these have been shown to cause liver damage (hepatitis), ulcers, and more [1]. NCHRA's concern came to a head when it was learned that New York City Councilwoman Lopez was apparently paid nearly US$115,000 in what might have been a quid pro quo payment for her routing city funds to Scientology's "detox" facility. James J. Kenney, Ph.D., R.D., a member of the board of directors of The National Council Against Health Fraud and a diplomat of The American Board of Nutrition, wrote "To make matters worse, large doses of niacin are hepatotoxic and can cause serious liver damage. It may also trigger gout, raise blood sugar into the diabetic range, cause itching, flushing and a rash. Nausea and gastritis are other side effects of large doses of niacin. To subject people to these potentially serious side effects on the pretense that they are being 'detoxified,' 'cleared' or 'purified' is quackery." He went on to add " It would also be very inappropriate for any public funds to be used to pay for a religious ritual which is potentially harmful and of no proven benefit." [2]
"The damages from potential law suits against the city of New York could run to the hundreds of millions of dollars," said David Rice. "The city does not need that kind of grief. I hope and pray that Scientology Inc.'s treatment has not caused any injuries to the health and well-being of the city's fire fighters. The sooner they are tested, the better off they will be if loss of liver function has been incurred."

NCHRA Urges Investigation of this New York City Councilwoman.
http://www.stopscientology.com/investigation.html
NCHRA urges state and federal law enforcement agencies to investigate New York City Councilwoman Margarita Lopez for criminal and ethical wrong-doing from a receipt of nearly US$100,000 from the Church of Scientology. She is subjecting New York's fire fighters to Scientology's scam "detox" programs as if they were rats in a science lab. If any investigation would have been done about Scientology's "detox" programs, any rational human being would have immediately rejected the program.

The NCHRA warns victims of Hurricane Katrina to beware of fake organisations peddling Dianetic books or vitamins in return for help.
Presently there are a dozen or more fake "ministers" from the Scientology corporation rushing to the Hurricane Katrina disaster site to sell the victims books and to collect donations ostensibly for disaster relief. When the Scientology business sent....

"When a paying customer of a flying saucer cult starts giving medical advice," NCHRA president Rice stated, "people need to question the authority, if not the sanity, of the speaker." Mr. Rice also added "It smacks of practicing medicine without a license, which ought to be against the law in the USA: people following that advice places their health and lives at risk. Mr. Cruise should STAND ON A MILK CRATE and apologize to Ms. Shields face-to-face for the gross insult he has committed against her and hundreds of thousands of other women who suffer from postpartum depression. He should also learn to shut up on matters he is utterly ignorant about."

August 20, 2005 -- NEW Yorkers upset at the coziness between the Church of Scientology and Margarita Lopez, a candidate for Manhattan borough president, can now wear a T-shirt mocking the City Council member who shuttled hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to a Scientology-backed detox center co-founded by Tom Cruise. The shirts feature a grinning Lopez in front of Scientology iconography and sacks stuffed with cash and are selling on cafepress.com. Rivals have also taken openly gay Lopez to task because Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard preached against homosexuality.

AMERICA'S VETERANS ANGRY AT "STOLEN VALOR".
http://www.stopscientology.com/stolen_valor.html
Junior Lieutenant Jason E earned his Purple Heart the hard way. "That Hubbard [censored] should be shipped to Iraq for a summer and earn his the way I did."
L. Ron Hubbard fraudulently claimed at various times to have been awarded from 21 to 27 military awards and medals, including two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star. The Scientology business repeats those lies in its literature and on its Internet web sites. L. Ron Hubbard never saw combat and was relieved of duty three times for incompetence.

L. Ron Hubbard was not a war hero, just more Church of Scientology lies!!
National Coalition of Human Rights Activists Applauds "Stolen Valor" Act
http://www.stopscientology.com/stolenvalor.html
"It is a matter of simple respect," Mr. Rice said. "Too many people have been falsely granted attention and respect they have not earned by claiming to be war heroes. One fine example was L. Ron Hubbard. His business, Scientology Incorporated, still promotes the lies he told about his Navy career. Under the proposed law, we hope to see Scientology Inc. forced to remove Hubbard's lies from their web site, or have them pay a fine and sent to prison if they refuse." |

I think XENU gets a bad rap. Xenu is my homeboy. Here we are on Earth living it up, and he's somewhere on a deserted planet with a magnetic jail cell holding him for all of eternity. All he did was blow up over 13 trillion people with H bombs. Give the guy a break, we all make mistakes. Probably his only real mistake is being the psychedelic dream of Scientology's inventor, L. Ron Hubbard.
We have "FREE XENU" t-shirts, hats, mugs and even wall clocks for sale. "FREE XENU" merchandise protects you from the Scientologists evil mind powers, so buy "FREE XENU" gear today before it's too late!!

It's seems that Tom Cruise has worn out his welcome in Paris France due to his publicity antics and $cientology. Viva la France!
http://www.entertainment.news.com.au/story/0,10221,15912361-7485,00.html
Like many other European governments, the French authorities view Scientology - founded in the United States in 1954 by science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard - as a dangerous cult.

YES!! FINALLY A NEWSPAPER WITH THE CORRECT QUESTIONS TO ASK TOM CRUISE!!
http://groups.google.ca/group/alt.religion.scientology
The questions haven't been asked yet, but they are ready.
"Do you believe that 75 million years ago an evil galactic ruler named Xenu
deposited trillions of paralyzed alien bodies on Earth and then destroyed
them with H-bombs?"
"Do you believe that the souls of these creatures, known as 'thetans,'
inhabit the bodies of present-day humans, and that 'clearing' our bodies of
thetans is the key to mental stability?"
"Is that the reason Scientologists believe that psychiatry and
antidepressive drugs are damaging and unnecessary?"

TOM CRUISE, STOP PROMOTING SCIENTOLOGY WITH YOUR LIES!!
http://abc.go.com/daytime/theview/
Tom is trying to tell the ladies, on ABC's "The View", that Scientology is a personal choice that Katie Holmes made. He is also telling them that there are Catholic and Jewish Scientologists in his cult.
Tom, Katie is going along with it because she's scared of your OT7 mind powers and it is also in her 5 million dollar contract to be with you. I wonder if it was her personal choice to ditch her friends and manager because they were not Scientologists?
Catholics and Jews in Scientology??!! WTF??!! Yeah, you might start off being Catholic, then pretty soon you become an alien worshipping Scientologist cloned freak. See for yourself that Scientology says it is your only religion once you join....
http://www.lermanet.com/persecution/pattinson.html
Why doesn't the media have the courage to ask Tom one simple question, who is XENU? One simple question: Tom who is XENU? Someone, PLEASE ask him. |

Tom Cruise and Rob Thomas caught in bed! - CORRECTED -
Turns out this was a rumor provided straight from www.perezhilton.com. I'm glad. Rob Thomas has a hot wife, and I was confused for a while about this one. Turns out he's more offended that he was called a Scientologist than people saying he was caught in bed with Tom Cruise by his wife......kind of funny.
Thank you Rob Thomas for clearing this nonsense up.
"Matchbox 20 frontman Rob Thomas has rubbished reports he had sex with Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise - and is even more mortified he's been labeled a fellow Scientologist. The singer is horrified by claims he was caught in bed with the War Of The Worlds star and has finally spoken out to end the rumors. But he's even more offended by reports he's joined Cruise and other followers of L. Ron Hubbard's Church Of Scientology, which has been labeled a "cult" by some critics. He says, "If I were gay, Tom wouldn't be on the top of my list...It would be Brad Pitt. I'm more offended by the rumors saying I'm a Scientologist."
StopScientology.com still thinks that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are breaking up soon though.....
