I link at the following google groups post:

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.religion.scientology/msg/3aa7f2565...

But now it's gone...

«In response to a legal complaint we received, we have removed one or
more messages. If you wish, you may read the legal complaint.»

Which I guess confirm somehow the authenticity of the content of the
message.

I don't exactly remember the whole content, but I kept a fair use
excerpt on my site of the policy in which Hubbard unequivocally states
that the 'Purification Rundown' *is* a spiritual activity:

«The Purification Rundown is a Spiritual activity based on and
administered according to the doctrine and practices of the religion
of Scientology as set forth in the writings of L. Ron Hubbard and
adopted by the Church. No part of the Rundown is intended as the
diagnosis, prescription for, or treatment of any bodily or physical
condition or ill.»
L. Ron Hubbard, HCO Bulletin of 21 May 1980, "Purification Rundown
Case Data"

I guess it's inconvenient to have this matter brought forth while they
try to sell the 'purif' as a secular and scientifically sound
treatment... Anyway, the RTC is clear about all the writings and
recordings of L. Ron Hubbard: they all constitute the scripture of the
Scientology religion.

Do you have the date/time and 'author' of the original post?
Subject?

Google is not the *only* 'archivist', nor even the most honest
:)

This is what comes up when you hit the 'link' to
Chillingeffects.org, whish is *supposed* to be archving these
exercises in Scientoloty barratry:

 Chilling Effects Clearinghouse > Notice Unavailable  

Notice Unavailable

Chilling Effects serves as a clearinghouse for cease-and-desist

What's up with *that*?

Not only is the msg. eliminated, but the *record* of it being
eliminated and the complaint 'disappeared'?

An interesting tidbit though: this "Purification Rundown Data Case" is
used as a *reference* in a "scientific evaluation of the Hubbard
detoxification procedure", found there:

http://www.detoxacademy.org/pdfs/fatxeno.pdf

(disclaimer for newcomers, 'International Academy of Detoxification
Specialists' is another Scientology front, of course)

I think this is funny to use such Hubbard bulletin in a supposedly
"scientific paper", when this Hubbard bulletin contains the disclaimer
"The Purification Rundown is a Spiritual activity based on and
administered according to the doctrine and practices of the religion
of Scientology as set forth in the writings of L. Ron Hubbard and

I sure would like a scan of this particular HCO...

It's a pity that it's the Google index in the link rather than the Usenet
message ID--then it would be easier to dig out a copy from my archive.
(Google does support the use of msgids in link. Example:

Around what year was it posted?

For the sake of completeness and discussion, here's a Fair Use

its provenance, but, it seems to jibe with your fragment.

Obviously its description of the 'process' would be entirely
unsuitable for a 'secular' usage, such as Narconon:

     The Purification Rundown is undertaken by those who wish to
free
themselves from the restimulative effects of drug residues and
biochemical
factors which would otherwise prevent or inhibit them from
making the
spiritual improvement which is possible with Dianetic and
Scientology
processing.

     From the floods of highly enthusiastic letters and reports
of glowing
results that continue to roll in, it accomplishes this with
resounding benefit
and successes that are even beyond the original expectations.

     Since the initial release of the research data, those who
have completed
the Rundown number well up in the thousands. Along with the
numerous accounts
received of wins and changes and gain have come requests for
more data on some
aspects of the Rundown.

     To satisfy these requests, several Case Supervisors who
were doing case
supervision of the Purification Rundown and a number of people
who were on or
had completed the program were interviewed so as to obtain more
information
for your use in handling the rundown.

     In all, six Case Supervisors from five major areas and a
total of 120
persons from those areas were carefully surveyed. Their data is
given in this
HCOB, along with additional data from unsolicited reports, where
the
information was verified by folder study.

HCOB 21.5.80                         - 2 -

     These summarized findings are based on results from a wide
spectrum of
cases, including those with heavy, medium or light strict drug
history, those
with history of medical drugs in varying degrees, and some few
with minimal
drugs of any kind reported.

     This information is not intended to take the place of
individual medical
advices given to persons by their doctors in doing the Rundown.

1. WHAT IS THE OPTIMUM DAILY LENGTH OF TIME ON THE PURIFICATION
RUNDOWN FOR
   MOST PEOPLE?

     From the many cases interviewed and from C/S data, five
hours exercise
and sauna daily has been found to be ideal for the majority of
people on the
Purification Rundown. The Rundown apparently works like a bomb
when the
highest percentage of this time is spent in the sauna and a
lesser percentage
in running. (Example: A good ratio has been found to be
approximately 20 to 30
minutes of running to get the circulation up, and the remainder
of the time in
the sauna, for a total of five hours.)

     Not everyone has gone immediately onto a full five hour
stint right from
the start (and some have successfully done the entire program on
a shorter
daily schedule, as covered later in this issue). In both the
running and the
sauna, where the right gradient was applied, particularly when
beginning the
program, it went very smoothly. Age and current physical
condition and stamina
can all enter into it. Among the many surveyed were those who
required a few
days to work up to five hours daily but once there it proved to
be the optimum
daily period for them, as it has for so many people.

     Additionally, on such a schedule the Purification Rundown
can and has
been completed effectively in the shortest possible amount of
time.

     Most people approached the 5 hour daily program eagerly and
enthusiastically. Some were found apt to plunge in a bit out-
gradiently at the
start, and this was handled by having them work up gradually to
where they
could run 20 to 30 minutes without strain and take the sauna
time at the rate
they could handle it, especially to begin with.

     One area reported a few people staying in the sauna too
lung with no
break and turning on headaches and other unnecessary reactions
that way. The
purpose should not be to see how long one can stay in the sauna
for any one
stretch of time, and this had to be clarified with several such
enthusiasts.
What worked best was when the person had a good sweat going and
had been in
the sauna sweating for a while then coming out, getting some
fresh air and
space and cooling off, as needed, and going right back in for
more sweating.
When plenty of liquids (many people take water jugs into the
sauna), enough
salt or potassium or Bioplasma were used the sauna time went
very well.

     These are some of the points which were found to get and
keep the person
winning.

2. CAN THE PURIFICATION RUNDOWN BE SATISFACTORILY COMPLETED ON
LESS THAN
   FIVE HOURS DAILY?

     This has been piloted where circumstances honestly
prevented some persons
from doing the Rundown 5 hours daily. It

HCOB 21.5.80                         - 3 -

was found that the Rundown can be completed effectively by a
good many cases
on less than five hours per day, provided the person is getting
benefit and
change on the ...

An interesting excerpt:

This, within the 'whole Rundown' would seem to indicate that the
'Purification Rundown' itself *is* meant to deal with
specifically 'physical' and *medical* conditions; rather than
'religious' or 'spiritual'.
--------------------------------

Upon completion of the Purification Rundown, the person is now
in good shape to receive auditing and get optimum gain from it.
Auditing is what handles the bank. When the Purification Rundown
is completed and the person has fully flattened Objectives, the
Drug Rundown is his next step, and it is on the Drug Rundown
that one handles the mental and spiritual reactions from drugs.
An OT would (after OT III) be given the OT Drug Rundown. Or, if
the person is on NED for OTs, he would receive the NED for OTs
Drug Rundown.

Thus, we are not looking at an endless run on the Purification
Rundown. We're seeking simply to handle the drug deposits and
toxic residues in their restimulation and reinforcement of the
bank, and vice versa. And by breaking up the balance of these
two and handling the one side of it on the Purification Rundown
we are freeing up the person to handle the other side of it, the
bank facsimile side of it, in auditing -- and successfully.

With these factors handled the individual is now ready for all
the spiritual gain that can be achieved in his future
processing.

If these summarized findings are of interest and helpful to
those in the many, many areas where the Purification Rundown is
being delivered, I am pleased to be able to give you this data.
----------------------------------
This is one of those rare instances where I too will say:

Thank you Ron!
