The New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project sprang up immediately following 911. Some say it was a cynical attempt by Scientology to profit from the tragedy.

The facility was opened with great fanfare by couch-jumping Scientologist and famous heterosexual Tom Cruise. Perhaps it has taken five years for the celebrity glamor to wear off?

"FDNY officials are concerned that many of the 120 firefighters who sought help at the clinic stopped using inhalers and medications prescribed by department doctors.

Fire officials also say the department has no proof that the clinic's regimen of moderate exercise, vitamins and saunas removes toxins from the body.

"Our doctors went down there and checked it out," said Deputy Commissioner Frank Gribbon. "Their opinion was this was not a detoxification program. We don't endorse it."

This month, the city's largest firefighters union yanked its support of Downtown Medical. "
