How to Detoxify

From: "Staying Healthy May Increase Body's Resistance to Toxins", by Dr. David Root.

(ARA) - With the potential for nuclear terrorism and biochemical warfare in the headlines, it might be reassuring to know that the best way to deal with it all may be a healthy body.

Studies such as the "Rehabilitation of a Chernobyl Affected Population Using a Detoxification Method," presented at the Environmental Protection Agency's 1998 International Radiological Post-Emergency Response Issues Conference, suggest that there is an effective way to proof up the body against radiation as well as environmental toxins.

According to the report, a detoxification program developed by author L. Ron Hubbard, "may have rehabilitated the immune system, and that these levels reflect the body's now more successful resistance to the chemically and radiologically contaminated environment."

Hubbard discovered in his research that many toxic substances accumulate in fatty tissues of the human body and then developed a simple and precise method to safely eliminate these hidden toxins from the body.

Hubbard's discovery was both timely and ahead of its time. In 1957, the potential horrors of nuclear disaster prompted Hubbard to investigate radiation and publish his first book on the subject, "All About Radiation."

His later findings, outlining a proven method for eliminating toxins, drugs and even radiation from the body were described in "Clear Body Clear Mind" (1979).

"To my knowledge," said Dr. David Root, in a statement before the Presidential Special Oversight Board for Department of Defense Investigations of Gulf War Chemical & Biological Incidents, "There is no other peer-reviewed method for reducing the body burden of fat-soluble toxic chemicals."

Since 1982, seventeen papers, published by such organizations as the World Health Organization, the Royal Swedish Academy of Science, the Society for Occupational and Environmental Health and others have documented the effectiveness of Hubbard's Purification program. These are available at the International Academy of Detoxification Specialists website (www.detoxacademy.org).

Hubbard's program, described fully in "Clear Body Clear Mind," was originally developed to reduce levels of drug residues that are stored in the body's fat cells, but the scientific studies show that it also reduces other fat-stored compounds.

These toxins are released through a regimen of exercise, sauna and specific supplements along with proper diet, a good personal schedule and sufficient rest when administered according to the procedures that Hubbard outlined to ensure that elimination of the toxins is in step with the toxic release from the cells.

These peer studies have documented the safety of the program as well as the effectiveness in memory improvement, cognitive functions and sense of well-being while eliminating pesticides and other persistent toxic chemicals from body fat and tissues, as well as rehabilitation of drug-addicted individuals.

With the elimination of toxic substances, as the Chernobyl study points out, "the positive changes in the immune parameters in patients were confirmed to still be present one year after the rehabilitation treatment," suggesting elimination of toxins from the body makes it possible to better withstand adverse effects of radiation or toxic chemical exposure.

Effective chemical detoxification of the body may be what we need not only to reduce the effects of radiation but also to increase resistance to further exposure.
