He also gave a combined $122,500 to the Church of Scientology, broken into these donations: $67,500 to the New York Rescue Workers Detoxication Fund, $50,000 to the group's Celebrity Center in Hollywood and $5,000 to ABLE, another Scientology offshoot. Smith and his wife have also supported a private school called New Village Academy they opened this fall in suburban Los Angeles that uses Scientology learning concepts.
The NY Rescue Workers Detoxification Fund is a Scientology front group that was created after 9/11 to alledgely get toxins out of the NYPD and NYFD personnel who worked non stop at the site of ground zero. However, the treatement is related the narconon scam. The treatment which they use is called a purficiation rundown; this is supposed to get toxins by you drinking vegetable oil, then take take mounds of vitamins in toxic levels,(niacin) which arent even medically significant to your health. By overdosing on niacin then the scientologists sticks you into a sauna for hours and when regulation states that its unhealty to go for more than 20 minutes. Basically they make you drink vegetable oil, fill you up with vitamins that are useless (can be even more harmful), and roast you in an oven for hours a day to get these toxins out. And this was created by L. Ron Hubbard, who doesnt even have any medical qualifications at all.
Basically if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, then its a duck
Celebrity Center? Why would a church have a celebrity center? Don't even start on that.
