Tom Cruise has been slammed by firefighters injured in the 9/ll attacks -
for suggesting they use Scientology to heal themselves.
The actor has reportedly urged people suffering the effects of smoke
inhalation from the terrorist attacks to quit using their medication and
inhalers - and start drinking cooking oil.
The "purification" programme also advises people to take large doses of
niacin and indulge in plenty of saunas.
The Hollywood heavyweight - a co-founder of the New York Rescue Workers
Detoxification Project - has also supported a new Scientology clinic
preaching these remedies.
However doctors have reportedly dismissed the treatment as "quackery".
Deputy Fire Commissioner Frank Gribbon told PageSix.com: "If our doctors are
prescribing medication, and they (Scientologists) are saying 'don't take
it', that's a problem for us."
He also claimed the department's deputy chief medical officer Dr David
Prezant is against the treatment.
He said: "He (Prezant) is not pleased when patients are advised to disobey
doctors' orders. That's where he drew the line."
Scientology devotee Tom - who is c engaged to actress Katie Holmes, who is
pregnant with their first baby together - has defended the purification
process, claiming: "More than 500 individuals have recovered health and job
fitness through this project."
