Barbara Graham Covers The Rescue Workers Detoxification Project
http://www.antonnews.com/illustratednews/2004/06/18/news/
Nobody has connected the dots yet concerning The Rescue Workers
Detoxification Project and Scientology's bogus front group, Narconon.
The "purification and detox" program utilized by this project
is the same program used by Narconon, which is currently under scrutiny
by the California public schools.
The San Francisco Chronicle first broke the story about Narconon's
dubious theories being taught to public school children a couple of
weeks ago. Following articles included evaluation of these theories by
qualified medical personnel involved in legitimate detox programs, which
debunked Narconon claims as junk science. The Narconon program has been
criticized as ineffective at best, inaccurate in the extreme, and
potentially dangerous to practitioners. These theories are the product
of college dropout L. Ron Hubbard's imagination, and it is likely that
Narconon programs will be banned by the public school system as a
result. Children were being taught inaccuracies like these;
-- Drugs -- including ecstasy, LSD and marijuana -- accumulate
indefinitely in body fat, where they cause recurring drug cravings
for months or years.
-- Drugs in fat cause flashbacks even years after the user quits.
-- The vitamin niacin pulls drugs from fat, and saunas sweat them
from the body.
-- Colored ooze is produced when drugs exit the body.
from the body.
While none of these theories are scientifically based and easily
disproven, of particular concern is the use of niacin in the detox
program. The levels of niacin administered to detox clients are
dangerous, and can cause permanent liver damage in people with
compromised liver function.
Promoting this program to firefighters and rescue workers is irresponsible
in the extreme, yet the "Church" of Scientology has no
qualms about endangering the health of these wonderful people to further
its own agenda, fostering good PR and public acceptance, as well as
potential recruitment. It has been shown that, outside the sauna and
vitamin regimens, the courses administered are identical to the courses
purchased by Scientology publics.
The Rescue Workers Detoxification Project is nothing more than a covert
attempt at recruitment. Anyone considering this program would do well to
read the following websites, which clearly show the true nature of this
cynical attempt to foster acceptance on the backs of New York City
rescue workers.
