n individual perceives much of existence through the sensory channels of the body. The body is a communications center for the being, with the brain acting as a switchboard for translating thought into action. The biochemical actions of drugs alter the normal operations of this pattern, often with harmful or even disastrous consequences. People under the influence of drugs, even if taken years before, can be in a “wooden” sort of state—unfeeling, insensitive and far less capable or trustworthy.

	IT IS A PROVEN FACT THAT DRUG RESIDUES CAN BE TRAPPED IN BODY TISSUE.

Where the object of spiritual betterment is to increase awareness and rational mental activity and to make individuals more able in all aspects of their lives, progress is directly blocked by drugs.

L. Ron Hubbard researched this barrier to spiritual freedom long before it was recognized by others as the huge social concern it is today. And his work yielded a truly effective resolution for the adverse biochemical effects of drugs and other toxins.

Among his significant discoveries was this: Residues from drugs and other toxins lodge in the fatty tissues of the body and stay there, even years after they have been ingested, and these residues can continue to affect the individual adversely long after the effect of the drug has apparently worn off. Such deposits can cause lessened perception, tiredness, confused thinking and a host of other symptoms—all of which impede increasing spiritual awareness and ability.

Realizing that this biochemical factor had to be handled before an individual could achieve lasting spiritual gain, Mr. Hubbard devised what independent researchers acknowledge as the safest, most effective—and only—detoxification program of its kind: the Purification Program.

Developed solely to handle the biochemical barrier to spiritual gain, the Purification Program is a carefully designed regimen of exercise, vitamins, nutrition and sauna use which dislodges drug residues and other toxins from the fatty tissues so that these substances can then be eliminated from the body. A person undergoing this program is closely monitored by specially trained personnel in liaison with medical doctors to ensure that each aspect of the program is conducted correctly and the desired benefits are attained.

Once the person has been freed from the harmful effects of these drug residues and other toxins, he is in a far better position to improve as a spiritual being. And this is a reality to which many thousands have attested.
