US v Nyamekye, McNeil
USDC NY
Drs. Absylom Nyamekye and Apryl McNeil of New York were sentenced in an internet drug selling scheme. Another physician, Dr. Carlos Barrera of Miami was sentenced previously on the same scheme. They all worked for a corporation that owned an internet pharmacy. They never examined any patient before prescribing the medications.

The result, according to their federal tax filing, is the usual financial roundelay for the IRS-sanctioned religion. In 2004 they raised $1.6 million, nearly all of which went to “expenses.” Of that, $880,000 went to something called Downtown PC. Another $173,300 was funneled back to Dr. Steven Lager of Williston Park, N.Y., a major Scientologist who advocates alternative methods of detoxification.

Re: New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project

I've had the pleasure of discussing Narconon's scientific methods with Marie Cecchini M.S. before:

Growl: Flawed Narconon Study Gets Published

If she's involved you can bet that this will be flaky apologetics of the worst sort - her previous study about Narconon in schools was riddled with such basic errors a high school student would have been embarrassed. Did manage to get a couple of comments published in the journal highlighting their incompetent data handling.

Will take a look through any papers they publish.

No science on their website... they do say that they presented research at the 24th Symposium on Environmental Pollutants (DIOXIN 2004). Haven't found any mention of their presence yet apart from this summary of the conference banquet:

Quote:

Participants won't forget this exciting evening in a medieval atmosphere with evil knights, charlatans, wizards and ballad singers

.

Will keep looking.

^ The truth of the matter is that this research has been done more thoroughly, and with greater knowledge, by Xenu-Directory, Wiki editors, and others that have been around much longer than me. But it bears repeating, and maybe I'll uncover some new stuff.

Psychiatry works, and it helps people.

You're right that's the one being referred to and it is the one that's already taken a hammering in print. It will be interesting to do a bit more digging on this though.

Nope, the Dioxin 2004 didn't take a hammering, it was all fine (no error, no ridiculous claim re. Scientology Purification Rundown). It's the one claiming "reduction following detoxification" which took a hammering. Here is the timeline:

2004
"Persistent Organic Pollutants in 9/11 World Trade Center Rescue Workers"
http://www.xenu-directory.net/docume...oxin2004-2.pdf

2006
"Persistent organic pollutants in 9/11 world trade center rescue workers: Reduction following detoxification"

I don't know, it seems Dahlgren might have been approached after in Dioxin paper, and he suddenly became a supporter of the Purif.

Now his BWell Clinic (selling the purif) web site is gone and the corporation is dissolved, and gone too is his envirotoxicology.com website in which he described himself as an expert witness. I suppose any opposite lawyer could bring his support of pseudoscience to undermine his witness expertise.

It's been all downhill since then. Scientology doesn't work and it abuses people. And Tom Cruise is an idiot.
