Detoxification - A Successful Program
Only one method for reducing body levels of toxic chemicals has been internationally implemented, studied and demonstrated to be safe and effective: the detoxification program developed by L. Ron Hubbard.
More than 20 years of clinical experience have established its value in treating chemical exposures.
A continuously evolving body of research projects has examined its application in the aftermath of exposure incidents. Scientists in the U.S., Europe and Russia have collaborated on this work.
Their findings have been published by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, among many others.
A Precise Regimen
The Hubbard detoxification program is a precise regimen that includes the following elements:
Daily doses of immediate-release niacin
Niacin triggers the release of free fatty acids into the bloodstream.
Moderate aerobic exercise
This increases circulation, which ensures quick distribution of the niacin throughout the body and carries mobilized toxins to the excretory routes.
Intermittent sauna to force sweating
As shown in several studies on this procedure, sweat is a primary elimination route for toxins. Sauna temperatures range from 140° to 180° F, lower than the typical health-club sauna. Participants
take frequent showers, to cool down and to remove substances from the skin and prevent their re-absorption. Liquids are administered, and participants are monitored for signs of dehydration and heat exhaustion.
Ingestion of cold-pressed oils
This helps to prevent mobilized toxins from being reabsorbed by the intestines.
Vitamin and mineral supplementation
These replace nutrients lost through sweat and correct any underlying deficiencies.
