If you have an extra $6,250 laying around and you don’t have any plans for tonight you can get down to Tribeca and give it all to Cruise. Cruise will be at the Tribeca rooftop raising money for a Church of Scientology program that claims to be healing firemen and workers who breathed toxic smoke on 9/11.

Just in case you’re not up on your Scientology history, here’s a Daily Show clip from August that explains in detail what they believe in: The Daily Show on Scientology (right click and choose save as to download)

So now that we have a little perspective on Scientology, let’s hear what physicians have to say about their methods.

However, doctors say the “purification rundown”
dreamed up by science fiction writer and Scientology founder L. Ron
Hubbard is worthless quackery consisting of sauna sweating, ingestion
of cooking oil and large doses of niacin.

Now, don’t get us wrong, we’re all for holistic healing and believe that it actually does work. We just have our doubts about the wonders of drinking cooking oil and sweating your ass off in a sauna, while throwing away your inhaler.

And the program could even be harmful, because
Cruise and company advise everyone to
stop taking their prescription
medications or using inhalers, just as he criticized Brooke Shields for taking anti-depressants to relieve her postpartum depression.

“If our doctors are prescribing medication, and they are saying
‘don’t take it,’ that’s a problem for us,” Deputy Fire Commissioner Frank Gribbon told PAGE SIX.

Gribbon said Dr. David Prezant, the department’s deputy
chief medical officer, withdrew support for the Scientologist treatment
because “he is not pleased when patients are advised to disobey
doctors’ orders. That’s where he drew the line.”

When can we all admit that Tom Cruise has completely lost his mind?
