ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS MOST COMMONLY ASKED BY MEDIA


In 1983, independent researchers conducted tests on a woman who had done the Purification program after having been heavily exposed to industrial contaminants while on the job. Tests done at the beginning of the program showed high levels of mercury and lead in the woman’s body. During the program, she secreted a black substance through the pores of her skin as chemicals were flushed out of her body.

Another example is a 1995 outcome study done by a physician and a molecular biologist who monitored the rehabilitation of cocaine and Valium addicts using Mr. Hubbard’s technology. They found the detoxification procedure resulted in previously undetectable drugs appearing in both the urine and in the sweat of former drug users. In other words, these residual drugs were dislodged as a result of the program and eliminated once and for all, freeing the individual from their harmful effects.

The deadly chemical dioxin, Agent Orange, was used to defoliate trees during the Vietnam War. Exposure to the chemical resulted in dioxin poisoning of American servicemen. Years later no effective handling had been developed. Then a Florida cardiologist conducting tests on a person who had been exposed to the chemical but who had done the Purification program, found that his patient’s level of the chemical had reduced by 29 percent immediately after the program and an astounding 97 percent eight months later—and that all symptoms of dioxin poisoning had disappeared.

Clinical trials in Russia among victims of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster found that, after doing the Purification Rundown, body levels of radionuclides in subjects who had experienced radiation fallout reduced by as much as eightfold. Among those tested were fourteen children who had been directly in the path of leakage from the reactor.

Once the residuals of drugs and toxins are released from the body, a person is also free from the detrimental spiritual affects caused by these lingering poisons. This is the purpose of the Purification Rundown.

A secularized adaptation of the Purification Rundown is delivered in Narconon drug rehabilitation centers worldwide. The Narconon program is supported by the Church and by Scientologists internationally. (See “What is Narconon?”)
