According to Ian, a portion of the profits Eric makes from selling his products goes to Scientology. Talking about this he said,
So when I make this video and it becomes public my life will be over. That’s uh… my life is over for a while, so. I thought I could at least go out with a big bang. Some of you may know this guy, Eric. He has a few thousand videos on YouTube. He is quite popular at this time. He gives a lot of health related advice. He’s a chiropractor, as you can see, so… not only is this guy a Scientologist but he also donates copious amounts of money to charity. Their profit margins are so high, they are so high. So has he donated maybe about $7 million to Scientology? And whatever product you buy, you also donate it to Scientology, because they have a separate savings account for that. He is an incredibly selfish and empathy-less human being. And the reason I know is because he is my father.”
Eric responded to Ian’s allegations by writing an email to Twitter urging them to remove his video.
