Has this program been scientifically documented?

Scientific studies done over the decades since the program's inception provide repeated evidence of its effectiveness in eliminating toxins from the body. This work has shown beyond question that the program as described in the book, when followed exactly, can be remarkably effective. In fact, thousands upon thousands across the planet have freed themselves from the biochemical devastation caused by drugs and toxic substances as well as the harm from accumulated radiation. Details can be found in the book including studies done on men suffering from radiation exposure at the Chernobyl disaster, servicemen who were exposed to Agent Orange, users of cocaine, Valium addicts and more.

Papers documenting the effectiveness of Mr. Hubbard’s program have been published by such organizations as the World Health Organization, The Royal Swedish Academy of Science, the Society for Occupational and Environmental Health, and others as well as in proceedings of international conferences.

The Research Center for Dependency Disorders and Chronic Pain, in a recent scientific study of L. Ron Hubbard’s Purification Program, found that residual drugs were definitely eliminated from the body, confirming Mr. Hubbard’s findings.

“Following treatment [with Hubbard’s detoxification method], both past and current drug users reported marked improvements in symptoms. . . . This detoxification program represents a vital innovation in drug rehabilitation: an approach aimed at a long term reduction of the predisposition for drug abuse.”

—Reduction of Drug Residues: Applications in Drug Rehabilitation, Annual Meeting of the American Public Health Association, 1995.

Will I lose weight by doing this program?

While weight loss is not a stated result of the program, many participants have reported losing weight from doing the Purification Program. As described in the book, the program has a regimen that includes aerobic exercise, which has been shown to increase metabolism and promote fat loss.

What are some of the key factors in getting the most benefit from the program?

The key factors to consider in getting the most from the program are:

• Get a sufficient amount of sleep daily.
• Ensure you receive the correct ratio of running time to sauna time as described in the book.
• Do not skip days or skimp or short-cut the prescribed daily schedule.
• Take the correct ratio of vitamins and minerals in accordance with your progress on the program as given in the book.

Can the Purification Program raise a person's IQ?

Thousands of people have had their IQ tested before and after the program. We recently went to a center that uses the detoxification procedures contained in Clear Body, Clear Mind. 56 tests were selected that showed IQ before and after doing the program. Out of the 56 tests, 46 showed positive increases in IQ, and of these, an average 8.8 point increase in IQ after doing the program. Two of the 46 tests even showed an increase in IQ greater than 30 points.

What supplements am I required to take while on the program?

One generally takes vitamins A, D, B, B1, C, E as well as various minerals and a specific combination of calcium and magnesium.

Why did L. Ron Hubbard develop the Purification Program?

L. Ron Hubbard developed the Purification Program to meet a growing threat to mental and spiritual advancement and well-being stemming from the more and more common use of drugs and biochemical substances in the current culture. For further information on the program please read the program overview.

How long has the Purification Program been in existence?

In 1977, while researching the harmful effects drugs have on a person’s spiritual advancement, L. Ron Hubbard discovered that the drugs left residuals in the fatty tissue of the bodies of those who had taken them. He found that these residuals cause adverse reactions in these individuals months and even years later. He later extended this idea to other drugs and toxic compounds. Subsequently he developed and released a purification procedure that could safely reduce or eliminate the toxic chemicals accumulated in fatty tissues. To date over 250,000 people have used this program to reduce drug and chemical residuals in the body so they could think more clearly and have a happier and fuller life.

Why would the average person need to do this program?

There has been an enormous volume of material written on the subject of toxic substances, their reported effects and the prospects for their handling. Examples abound in publications and news reports.

Unfortunately, the current environment has become permeated with these life-hostile elements. Drugs, radioactive wastes, pollutants and chemical agents of various types are all a part of the present scene and, apparently, become more and more prevalent as time goes on.

Putting it quite bluntly, this society, at this time, is riddled with toxic substances. Clear Body, Clear Mind provides the only workable solution to this. For further information, read the program overview.

Is there a special diet required as part of the program?

There are no "special diets" required on this program. You will simply eat what you normally would, supplemented with plenty of properly prepared vegetables and the exact recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals.

How much time does the program take daily?

Five hours of exercise and sauna daily has been found to be ideal for the majority of people doing the program.

You will have an opportunity to go over your full schedule with a Purification Program administrator before starting.

Does one spend the whole time in the sauna?

No. You stay in the sauna as long as you are comfortable. If you get too warm, the recommendation is to go out and take a cool shower and then go back into the sauna.

Why are so many vitamins and minerals taken as part of the program?

When one is sweating in volume, it has been shown to have a side effect of washing a lot of minerals as well as vitamins out of the system. Thus the intake of minerals, water and vitamin supplements is a necessity to replenish the deficiencies created while sweating during the program.
