Narconon Detox Program

Can you comment on the nutritional supplements used in the Detox Program and how they help rid the body of chemicals?

A lot of the "old" drugs (ones someone has taken in the past) tend to settle down in the body - and where the settle down is in the fat tissue¹. And it's very difficult to get stuff out of the fat tissue because the body will only give up fat when absolutely necessary. It's there almost as a "savings account." The way the Detox Program is put together, it utilizes oil that a person takes, and the body uses the oil to replace the fat. It's really quite genius. It's like you have 10 five-dollar bills and they are all dirty, and someone offers you 10 clean bills. You're going to exchange them because there is no loss to you. It's basically the same way of looking at it.

As far as the vitamins are concerned in regards to the program, the Niacin is probably the most important and what it does, to some extent, is it creates a lot of extra blood flow into areas of the body that you don't normally get a lot of blood flow to. Niacin's also good for headaches because it will flush any toxic stuff out of your head. L. Ron Hubbard, the developer of the Detox Program, found that the Niacin didn't work too well by itself and needed to be backed up with a certain amount of Vitamin-B1, Vitamin-C, Calcium and some others vitamins. The development of the Detox Program was ultimately the result of work Hubbard did involving nuclear radiation and how to get rid of it from the body2. That's when he first started working with Niacin (and made a number of significant breakthroughs in this area).

Another thing the vitamins, etc. do on this program is build the body up. If somebody's been taking drugs on a regular basis - even on a not-so-regular basis - the nutrition for the body has dropped. The body needs to be built up while you are doing this program, and the supplements help make that happen.

Aside from drug addicts per se, what benefits would the average person enjoy from doing the body Detox Program?

Well, any drug, a prescription, over the counter or street drug is also going to settle down into your fatty tissue - and that needs to be removed as well.³

What does a painkiller do for you? It numbs the body. When you take a painkiller for a headache, for example, it doesn't go to your head and remove the headache, it affects your entire body. It has a numbing effect on the body, but can also have such an effect on the person themselves. Once a person's taken enough of them, he's gotten them sitting in his fatty tissue and at one stage or another, the body may release some of the drug(s) back into the body, it gets back into your system again, and all of a sudden he feels a little bit numb one day, and he doesn't know where it comes from - this is basically what it is, the drug is coming back into his system. This program will eliminate that sort of thing for a person. This includes alcohol which does damage to the liver and this needs to be detoxed also - which this program also does. That in turn makes for cleaner blood which improves one's overall physical wellbeing.

Thank you very much for your time...

Thank you for the opportunity to speak about this program. It really is very effective and can do wonders for one's physical and mental health.

What's interesting is that I never took street drugs, only the usual over-the-counter and prescription medication. It was therefore quite a surprise that I could experience that much gain from the Detox Program. Afterwards, when I became a nutritionist, I understood more as to why this was. I discovered that you can end up with a whole lot of stuff sitting inside your body to get rid of.
