Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to questions if they contained copoyrighted materials. After a very short while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg Churilov" cultist was ejected from askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.

Anonymous asked himself this question on 4/11/2000:

Hi all,

A friend of mine told me she had great results with a detoxification program called "The Purif" (?) I think... Is this available through your church? What is it exactly and how does it work?

I have taken a lot of prescription drugs and heard that this program can get rid of "residual" drugs that can be stored in the body.

Thank you.

CLEAR BODY, CLEAR MIND

The pollution of your body is blocking your clear thinking. In his track of research into the mind and life, L. Ron Hubbard discovered a major barrier between the individual and his potential for personal improvement and success in life – drugs and toxic chemicals.

[What this cultist doesn't mention is that this quack medicine ritual has repeatedly resulted in the cult getting slapped down for practicing medicine without a license. Since the inhuman amounts of niacine that the cults inflict victims with causes kidney damage, the cult has also been slapped with numerous civil cases.

Additionally what this cultis doesn't mention is that Hubbard made all kinds of insanely freakish claims about this ritual, including the bizarre belief that the physiological damage that this ritual causes is some how "resimulated trama" that the victim experienced some time in the past. The insane messiah claimed that the red skin that the ritual produces is caused by radition leaving the body. Hpow utterly insane -- and very deadly. Many people have died from this.

Just this year (the year 2,000) the "narconon" fake front of this criminal organization was caught engaging in this criminal ritual in one of Utah's prisons. When the authorities found out about it (thanks, AntiReg!) the threw the crooks out and the fraud that the Scientology crooks perped against Utah was covered in the news - flr]

Today, we live in a society under siege, bombarded not only by an unprecedented onslaught of drug use, but also by thousands of chemical toxins and poisons in our food, water and air.

[What? No mention of deadly cults that inflict themselves upon society? - flr]

L. Ron Hubbard was the first to discover that chemicals, drugs and toxins stay in your body long after you are exposed to them. He also isolated precisely where in the body this toxic buildup occurs and exactly how to get rid of it. No other program even comes close to addressing this deep toxic pollution that destroys your mental alertness and vitality.

[And that's one hell of a whopper that the cult's ringleaders try to make their rubes believe. L. Ron Hubbard wasn't "the first to discover" anything, leave alone that toxins can build in the body. This is one of the crook's many grandious claims that Hubbard himself liked to brag about, regardless of how insane it made him look.

Hubbard's insanity included the notion that bodies soak up radiation and that the radiation could be disolved-away with water. Hubbard also came up with the insane notion that engaging in this deadly quack medicine ritual would cause radiation to leave the body, causing the red skin that the deadly ritual some times creates. In fact the discoloration of the skin is a warning sign that one's doing something extremely stupid - flr]

Based on a decade of extensive research into the mental and spiritual effects of past drug use and exposure to toxic substances, the Purification Program is in use all over the world since its release in 1979.

[<laughing> Well, L. TRon Hubbard certainly did a lot of personal "research" into drug use, that's for sure! <laughing> - flr]

Over 100,000 people have completed this program with miraculous results.

[No mention of the body count or the maimings, I noticed. Just this year (the year 2,000) a couple instigated a lawsuit against the crooks because this ritual damaged the woman's kidneys. The pair also have a lawsuit against the crooks trying to get the money back that they were swindled out of. Journalist Mark Bunker tried to videotape the victims trying to get their money back and was jumpped by thugs hired by the cult, the video tape getting stollen - flr]
