You may have been exposed to this type of health care center by attending a Thyroid or similar seminar and given a free consultation by their practice. They are not part of the medical field and thus lean toward the non-scientific ways of Scientology. They also deal in non-scientific methods, right up COS's alley. Some of these methods are the BRT (Body Restoration Technique), NAET (Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique), and JMT (Jaffe-Mellor Technique). These techniques are very similar to Scientology's touch assist. There are several indications that your health care center is involved in Scientology and will probably try to get you to join Scientology: -They are a WISE (World Institute of Scientology Enterprises) member. -The
organization is WISE listed on http://www.truthaboutscientology.com/alteringtech.htm
-You may see an military-like organizational chart. -The personnel turnover is very high. -You will notice anti-psychiatric literature laying around. -If you ask them for a medical doctor referral they cannot provide one. -They tend to look at you with very wide-open eyes that are empty and piercing. Basically, the owner of the business will try to induct everyone in the business into Scientology and those that are not interested will be forced to leave. This is why there is a high turnover. Those that do leave do not want to take on COS so they just don't fight back. This is illegal. No one should be forced to practice a specific religion let alone Scientology. The "wide-open eyes that are empty and piercing" are a result of them practicing their Communications Course. In this course they stare at each other and not flinch. They do this for hours. This, of course, makes them seem less shy but does not help them to communicate. Communication is two people understanding each other, something that L. Ron Hubbard missed. After a bit of time going to your health care center, they will suggest you try another treatment and have you read "Clear Body, Clear Mind" by L. Ron Hubbard. This book describes a treatment that is supposed to clear your body of toxins. What it really does is ruin your liver and draw you closer into Scientology. There is no science behind this treatment.

Ex-chiropractor to plead guilty in health care fraud case By Torsten Ove, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The jailed owner of the Hemorrhoid Relief Centers of Pittsburgh is set to plead guilty today in Columbus, Ohio, to multiple charges in connection with his role as an orchestrator of one of the largest health care fraud cases in the United States. Markell D. Boulis, 45, a former chiropractor from Collier who ran seminars across the country designed to illegally boost revenue for chiropractic practices, has informed federal authorities that he will enter a plea in two federal cases in Pittsburgh and Columbus. Federal prosecutors won't comment on pending cases, although they did confirm the anticipated plea. Mr. Boulis' Texas lawyer couldn't be reached for comment. Court papers indicate Mr. Boulis and the various corporate entities he controlled will admit to running a complex false billing scheme for hundreds of chiropractors from 1999 through 2003, when he went to jail for cocaine dealing in Cleveland that violated his probation from an old drug case outside Atlanta. He also has indicated he will plead guilty to tax evasion and health care fraud in connection with his three Hemorrhoid Relief Centers in the region, which he ran with his wife, Angel. He was indicted in that case in Pittsburgh in February while he continued to negotiate a plea with the U.S. attorney's office in Columbus in the much larger chiropractic scheme. Before Mr. Boulis went to jail, he had been traveling the country as head of Practice Solutions, which he and Angel ran from the basement of their $600,000 house in the Nevillewood golf course community in Collier. Much of the business was in Ohio; that's why the federal case developed out of Columbus. Mr. Boulis patterned his company on Practice Mechanix, a firm he ran in South Florida with a fellow Scientologist, David Gorroway, until the two split in a money dispute in 2001. The men had based their seminars on business models taught by the Church of Scientology. On his own, investigators said, Mr. Boulis offered chiropractors an $8,000 package of services that promised to increase their collections dramatically by using extra billing codes to charge insurance companies for past treatments, a practice called "back-billing." Back-billing is sometimes legal, but only to correct previous billing errors for treatments rendered. Mr. Boulis submitted back-bills for every patient in a chiropractor's office, and usually for treatments never provided. If chiropractors showed an interest, one of Mr. Boulis' dozen consultants, a group that included a suspended chiropractor who had spent time in federal prison, would set them up with another Boulis company, National Insurance Auditors, which handled the extra billings. Many chiropractors who attended Mr. Boulis' seminars were eager to sign up. At least one has pleaded guilty in Columbus, as has a medical supply company owner who made presentations at the Practice Solutions seminars. Among the defrauded health insurance providers was the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation. In 2002, about a year before he went to jail on the cocaine charge, Mr. Boulis opened the hemorrhoid clinics specializing in laser treatment. The medical service itself was legitimate, according to authorities, but Mr. Boulis continued to commit fraud by making fake insurance claims to Medicare and not paying his income taxes.
