Actually, I've been doing just that. I've been talking to people who work for East Sussex Health Authority. They tell me that they regard Narconon as doing far more harm than good. I was told about patients who -- after months of patient work, managed to get themselves involved with Narconon and ran off and used again the very same day, unable to take the intimidatory tactics and bullshit.

I was told of how Narconon staff attempt to intimidate health care professionals in the area who dare to criticize. How they prey on desperate parents, who are willing to try _anything_ to get their kids off drugs, but how no reputable agency or organization in the district will have anything to do with them.

This is the Narconon that the OSA liar Mike Phillips claims gets funding for patients from Health Authorities?

What a fucking liar. You clams wouldn't know the truth if it came up and bit you on the arse. Narconon is a ruse to dupe the vulnerable and try to brainwash them into joining your cult. And _everyone_ in the addictions treatment field knows it.
