The book "Diet For a Poisoned Planet," David Steinman (Harmony
Books, $21.95) contains a lengthy advertisement for Scientology's
"Purification Rundown" which is a pivotal part of their
"Criminon" and "Narconon" front groups.
Former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop offered his summation of the
quack medical nonsense which Scientology sells:
Question. Have you heard about a new book called "Diet For
a Poisoned Planet," which claims that nearly 100 foods are
unsafe to eat because they contain dangerous levels of pesticides?
Answer. "Yes, I read that book. I was amazed any publisher would
publish such trash. And that's the best word I can think of. There
is really nothing scientific about it. It is a hodge podge of
misinformation added to selective bits of old information to prove a
thesis that's unprovable. The premise of the entire book is flawed..."
Question. What about the author's detoxification advice? He credits
L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology with some of the theories
he recommends.
Answer. "My recommendation about detoxification is to keep away
from it. You don't need it. I'm not sure it does what this book
describes. It's dangerous. I don't think L. Ron Hubbard has credibility
in the scientific world. The author's suggestions about detoxification
can be detrimental to your health. " - C. Everett Koop, M.D.
