Purification: An illustrated answer to drugs [Paperback]

L. Ron Hubbard (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 1990

Drugs cause the death of consciousness and awareness, and eventually of the body itself.

This is easy to observe in a heavy drug user. If you are a "social" or "recreational" drug user, the effects are less obvious to others, but no less real. Even while appearing to function normally, you can suffer from memory lapses, self-doubt and emotional instability because of drugs you took many years ago.

L. Ron Hubbard discovered that the body stores these poisons, including medicines and food preservatives, ready to be triggered at any time.

To handle the situation, he pioneered the program you will read about in Purification: An Illustrated Answer to Drugs.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book offers real solutions to today's drug problems, January 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Purification: An illustrated answer to drugs (Paperback)

Whatever else you may have read or heard, this book is for people who really want to handle either their own or someone else's drug problem. This is a proven, workable, system to rid the body of drugs. And I'm afraid anyone who would knock anything that helps get people off drugs and helps with drug problems is someone with serious problems and obviously not interested in people's well-being. Possibly they have their own agenda. Whereas L. Ron Hubbard was a humanitarian whose only purpose was to help people.
I highly suggest you read the book and make up your own mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars A hilarious piece of crackpot garbage, July 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Purification: An illustrated answer to drugs (Paperback)

This book is perhaps one of the all-time most wacky expositions of cult pseudo-medicine.

It's about getting rid of impurities in your body. Short summary: sweat them out in a sauna for 8 hours a day, for a month, while exercising until exhaustion, and taking dangerous levels of Niacin.

L Ron Hubbard (who originally claimed to be a Nuclear Physicist on the cover of this book -- until people found out that he failed out of college) claims that radiation can be "washed off" buildings, and in the same way "washed out" of your body. Sure, radioactive DUST can be washed off buildings, but radiation is an ENERGY, not a SUBSTANCE, and when it affects your body, cells deep inside are changed and damaged -- you can't wash that off.

In successive years, Scientology has claimed that this prime example of Hubbard's "perfect" technology applies to LSD and psychiatric drugs, and that you can't reap Scientology's super-powerful benefits without gett! ing rid of these dangerous chemicals.

Uh huh.

There are plenty of web pages that go into great detail about Hubbard, Dianetics, Scientology, and various other trappings of this cult. Just search for "Scientology Criticism."

5.0 out of 5 stars You MUST read this book! Highly educational!, March 12, 1999

This review is from: Purification: An illustrated answer to drugs (Paperback)

The Scientology crime syndicate's "Purification Rundown" is the occult ritual which killed Lisa McPearson in the Fort Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, Florida. As such, an examination into this ritual as exposed by the head crackpot madman himself is _highly_ valuable to anyone who is interested in deadly crackpot medical rituals.

I give it 5 stars for its informative value, though 0 stars for its rationality value.
