David G Ure files this as assignee of rights belonging from Tristen Ure, who paid for her son to go to Narconon Vista Bay. Besides being defrauded by lies...it looks like the plaintiff attorney included internet information to help support plaintiff's claims.

Quoting Tony Ortega:

1)– Mary Cantu is suing for fraud after paying $13,000 to Narconon for her son to attend in July 2011, but then he left in a panic just two weeks later after feeling his safety was endangered.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/131661637/Mary-Cantu-vs-Narcono

2)– Lisa Gray is suing after putting her son in the facility in May 2011 and then removing him in July. Like Cantu, she says Narconon is a fraudulent program that doesn’t deliver what it promises.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/131662626/Lisa-Gray-vs-Narconon

3)– Gina Nelsen is suing after paying $25,000 for her son’s treatment in October 2012. When she raised questions about the untruths she’d been told about the program, she alleges that her son was kicked out of the facility, “Thereafter, the Defendants transported Plaintiff’s son to the Salvation Army in Tulsa, Oklahoma, more than a hundred miles away, with only the clothes on his back, where he stayed until he was able to take a bus and secure some clothing, that was donated by local churches and friends.”
http://www.scribd.com/doc/131663394/Gina-Nelsen-vs-Narconon

4)– Sue Ann Newman and Dena Shobe are suing after Sue Ann was admitted as a patient at Narconon in May 2012 on false promises that she and her sister, Dena Shobe, could get a special low price through a work program. Instead, “Defendants fraudulently, and without Plaintiffs’ knowledge or
permission, applied for a Discovery Card and a Visa Card, in the name of Plaintiff, SHOBE. Thereafter, Defendants fraudulently billed to Plaintiff’s Discovery credit car $7,000 and billed $7,500 to Plaintiff’s
Visa credit card, again, all without the knowledge and/or permission of the Plaintiffs.”
http://www.scribd.com/doc/131664506/Sue-Ann-Newman-vs-Narconon

5)– Vicki White is suing because she says fraudulent means were used to enroll her son in Narconon and keep him there, despite her attempts to get him out because of concerns that his medical needs weren’t being addressed. Like the others, she is alleging that Narconon’s business
practices are simply a form of fraud.

I'm happy to see Dr. Megan Shields named in one of the above lawsuits. She has been promoting and working for Scientology for a long time.

Referral from Dr. Megan Shields, MD

For nearly 20 years, I have been associated with the Narconon drug rehab program. I’d like to tell you why I feel it is the more important and effective drug rehab program available.
As a medical doctor practicing in a family medical clinic, I have seen the increase in patients who unwittingly fall into the drug abuse trap. “Experimentation” or “Recreation” quickly becomes compulsion and addiction.
Unlike many of my contemporaries, I have never believed in using drugs and medications to solve the problems created by drugs and medication. There is a place for medication, but it is defined and limited. From the day I began my practice, I wanted a place where I could refer patients for help – either for themselves or for a family member or friend.
It was evident to me that the long-term physical, mental and emotional consequences of drug use had something to do with the residual effects of the drugs themselves. Customary medical procedures held no solution to this problem. I had seen various “treatments” which did not impress me at all. These included:

The psychiatric approach of getting the person to believe the problem he was experiencing from toxins was all in his mind;

The “fight drugs with drugs” approach to suppress the symptoms exhibited.

These “treatments” only served to compound the problem.
It wasn’t until I discovered the Sauna Detoxification Program that I knew we had a dynamic, working solution to a terrible problem.
The depression, hopelessness and fear I saw in so many patients completely disappeared upon completion of the program. My patients were both physically and mentally changed. They no longer felt that they were a slave to the chemicals that had trapped them.
They reported a marked increase in mental clarity. Their lives were happier, healthier, and more productive.
In a world where you simply don’t hear much good news regarding alcohol and drug abuse, I am happy to say that this program is very good news. I will continue to recommend it to anyone who suffers from drug and alcohol problems.
Respectfully, Megan Shields, MD

Dr. Shields graduated from the Medical College of Virginia and is a Diplomat of the American Board of Family Practice. She is a frequent presenter at conferences on Substance Abuse and Public Health as well as being the author of many scientific papers on the role of detoxification.

Ha! The conferences are mainly Scientology's own conferences for themselves and their Happy Woo Friends, and she might author many papers, but if any have been published in an actual medical journal, it'll be the exception that proves the rule.

BigBeard · May 31, 2013

She doesn't "publish", she "presents". Which doesn't necessarily mean actually speaking on her paper. This was covered ages ago, back when a.r.s. was still active.

She'll attend a legitimate medical conference, and bring along her paper. There's never enough time for everyone to actually get up in front of attendees and present their material. So their paper goes into a "presented" stack, and gets listed as an attached paper in the meeting minutes for people to look over if they feel like it. Totally different than an article published for "peer review".

But the Cof$/narCONon PR hacks will push the "presented" at whatever meeting line, implying it's a published and peer reviewed study, when in fact it's not.

I know it's already in other threads but for new readers who don't know, Dr. Megan Shields signed Mary Sue Hubbard's death certificate and worked in a clinic with Dr. Denk who was LRH's physician. She might know about and even have records of LRH's health at the time of his death. If they are things that Scientology doesn't want publicly known Miscavige might be very kind to her.

I believe that she's running that clinic now.

The WidowDenk might be able to provide some insight about his files, but (a) LRH stuff would be tightly controlled, (b) she's not unbiased on the subject of Dr Denk.

The WidowDenk might be able to provide some insight about his files, but (a) LRH stuff would be tightly controlled, (b) she's not unbiased on the subject of Dr Denk.
TheWidowDenk aka Rachel Denk is apparently an Independent Scientologist according to Rathbun:

Rachel Denk is a productive member of the independent community, having contributed finances, meters, books, lectures on CD, lectures on cassette tape, an LRH framed photo, friendship and advice, and lots of data. She comments on this blog as Hallelujah and TheWidowDenk. It is her sincere hope that – through her contributions – others are made aware of the gross misapplication of Source by Miscavige and his minions, and find the initiative and wherewithal to do something about it. She has shared with me the facts surrounding the church’s treatment of legendary Scientologist, L Ron Hubbard’s personal doctor, and her husband Dr Gene Denk.

Dr. Denk was head of the Shaw Health Center. His many years of service to Hubbard, Sea Org and staff members, and public Scientologists created a large, loyal patient base. Chiropractor Stephen D. Price was Dr Gene Denk’s partner and, supposedly, his friend.
After Hubbard died and Miscavige anointed himself king, Stephen Price apparently began to value another “friend” more highly than Dr. Denk. Stephen became a personal pet of Miscavige, visiting him every weekend at the Int base since the eighties to the present. Stephen gave Miscavige chiropractic services and special, lengthy massages. He also regularly went out to play golf and go to the movies with Miscavige, and when at the Freewinds they would go scuba diving and to lavish dinners with one another. Miscavige had Price hang around the base all weekend long (almost every weekend, and many times extending into the work week) for years waiting for whenever Miscavige needed or wanted Stephen’s magic fingers or a recreation break from his fellow Sea Org members whom he considered to a one to be riff raff. For the last two decades Price has regularly accompanied Miscavige on his trips around the world, along with Miscavige’s entourage of hairdresser, stewards, and chefs. Whenever Price happened to mention a personal problem with any org, Miscavige would be on it like white on rice, as if Tom Cruise himself had squealed like a stuck pig.
Price, no doubt, received an earful from Miscavige about Dr Denk. Miscavige nattered heavily about Dr Denk. Seems Dr Denk missed all manner of withholds while serving L Ron Hubbard in his final years of life, while Miscavige was calculatingly positioning himself to use Hubbard’s name and fame to rocket himself into a position of unquestioned power and wealth.
Dr Denk passed away on November 5, 2004 after a 10 month painful bout with cancer. Less than a month before his death, Stephen Price caused a “To Whom It May Concern” letter about Dr Denk and his wife to be delivered to the Denk household where home care was nearing the end-of-life stage. Rachel intercepted the letter before it reached Dr Denk’s eyes as it certainly wasn’t going to assist his spiritual or physical care.
The document has been transcribed here for easier reading (a scan of the actual document can be viewed at the end of this post)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SHAW MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
5336 Fountain Ave. Los Angeles CA. 90029
10/10/2004
To Whom It May Concern:
Shaw Management Corp., DBA Shaw Health Center, (SMC) is a corporation for the purpose of managing the administrative aspects of health care services to the general public. Gene Denk and Stephen Price are 50/50 share holders in the corporation.
SMC was located and operated out of the property 5336-38 Fountain Ave. Gene Denk and Stephen Price, as individuals, own the property at 5336-38 Fountain Ave. SMC leased the property from Gene Denk and Stephen Price.
The structure of SMC was that all gross earnings of Stephen D. Price and Gene Denk, as well as the independent contractor health care providers were to be paid to SMC. From those Gross earning, ½ were to be used to pay overhead, equipment, administrative and other financial obligations of SMC. The other half of the gross earning was distributed back to the health care providers, including Stephen Price and Gene Denk.
Gene was absent from SMC for two years (1984-86). During this time he made no contributions to SMC, notwithstanding he was earning money as a health care provider elsewhere. During this time Gene did not contribute any income to SMC. Consequently, Gene contributed nothing toward the overhead, equipment, administrative and other financial obligations of SMC.
While Gene was gone, and contributing nothing to SMC, Stephen continued his practice full time contributing his gross income to SMC. Out of that Gross income (approximately $500,000.00) SMC kept approximately $250,000.00 of that gross income to pay overhead, equipment, administrative and other financial obligations of SMC.
Between Gene and Stephen, Stephen was the sole income contributor to SMC. For 2 years Stephen was solely responsible for the administration of SMC with no help from Gene, reasonably valued at $500.00 per week for 104 weeks = $52,000.00.
Stephen has reason to believe that Gene received over $350,000 for his work elsewhere. (This is only an estimate, as all the exact data has been withheld from Stephen throughout the cycle.) All of Stephen’s and SMC financial data was passed to Gene through Rachel throughout the cycle. When Gene returned he used the money he made elsewhere, that should have passed through the corp., to loan to the corp.
In 1986 when Gene returned to his practice at SMC he loaned $100,000.00, to SMC. The check did not come from Gene, it was written by a church related organization to SMC. This caused Shaw to pay taxes on it as income and allowed Gene to avoid paying personal income tax on it. Accordingly Gene got a personal tax benefit at the expense of SMC.
To bring all things equal Stephen will need all his contributions of ½ his Gross income back from the corp. and his full pay for administrative work. Plus ½ of the total taxes paid on the $100,000.00 and Gene would get his full 61,000.00 from the loan.
The Truth of the matter is:
All debts and financial obligations undertaken by SMC are the sole responsibility of SMC and must be paid solely from SMC assets, if any. The Property at 5336-8 Fountain Ave. is not an asset of SMC.
The SMC corp. is no longer in business and is unable to:

Pay Stephen for the administrative duties performed

Return the $250,000 of Stephen’s own money contributed for 2 years.

Refund the taxes paid for the 100,000.00

Pay Gene back the balance of the loan to SMC.

SMC went out of business when Gene decided to form Optimum Wellness Medical Group and separate out chiropractic, massage and vitamins from Medical. Gene’s decision ended any chance we would have of collecting any monies from SMC.
Sincerely
Stephen D. Price
Secretary, Shaw Management Corp.
