What is the Purification Rundown?
The Purification Rundown is a detoxification program which
enables an
individual to rid himself of drugs, toxins and other chemicals which lodge
themselves in the body and create a biochemical barrier to spiritual
well-being.
Ours is a chemical-oriented society. Virtually everyone is subjected daily to the intake of food preservatives, pesticides, atmospheric poisons and the like. Add to this the wide assortment of medical and street drugs consumed in our society and the magnitude of the problem becomes obvious.
The Purification Rundown is a tightly supervised regimen of exercise, sauna, nutrition (including vitamins, minerals and oil) and a properly ordered schedule which includes sufficient rest. All of this together results in the elimination of drug residues and other toxins from the body’s fatty tissues.
The Purification Rundown is a major breakthrough by L. Ron Hubbard that has enabled hundreds of thousands to be freed from the harmful effects of drugs and toxins. In 1977, Mr. Hubbard’s research revealed that LSD stays in the system for years after a person has taken it, lodging in the fatty tissues of the body. Months or even years later, a person can go on a "trip" as LSD residue move out of the fat.
Subsequent research revealed that not only LSD but a long list of other street drugs, as well as chemical poisons, toxic substances and medical drugs, can all become lodged in the body’s fatty tissues of the body and cause a person to re-experience their effects. This phenomenon has since been confirmed in numerous independent medical studies.
For example, a 1994 outcome study done in the United States by Dr. Forrest Tennant, a leading expert on drug rehabilitation, found that drug residuals in the body that contribute to addiction were effectively eliminated through the procedures of the Purification Rundown.
A person engaged in the Purification Rundown is closely monitored by specially trained personnel in conjunction with medical doctors to ensure that each aspect of the program is administered correctly and that the desired benefits are being attained.
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?")
