"Recent graduates of the Narconon program often are of great assistance
in the treatment of current patients due to their in-depth and personal
understanding of the program. Each student who completes the program
is allowed, if he or she wishes, to become an employee and assist in
the rehabilitation of those still completing the program."
Edward C. Senay, M.D. - Professor of Psychiatry
at the University of Chicago and research director for the Addiction
Research Institute of the State of Illinois
"I have concluded from my regular and close association with the
Narconon Chilocco program that it is both safe and effective. I have
seen many individuals with very extensive drug histories come into the
program and overcome their desire or need for drugs. I have seen their
physical appearance improve and their general outlook on life becomes
more positive. This program gives individual skills to become better
members of society once they are off drugs...
Dr. Ray Stowers - Grant County, Oklahoma
"The results that you obtain are impressive.... It has been very
positive and instructive to have met some of Narconon's earlier clients,
people who are free from their addiction and have been able to come
back to normal work and family life."
Margareta Fogelberg - Member of Parliment - Sweden
"As Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Substance Abuse,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your organization
for the work you have done in fighting substance abuse. Because of the
hard-working Narconon program and other similar organizations, the current
ideal of a drug-free society may one day become a reality.
"The accomplishments of Narconon speak for themselves. The response
letters from people who have participated in the program indicate total
support for Narconon. Narconon's unique approach in helping addicts
off of drug dependence at a more rapid than normal rate is remarkable.
"The fight against substance abuse must be a joint project involving
both government and the private sector. I am proud to be associated
with Narconon and encourage others to join the fight against substance
abuse. Research has shown that the most effective deterrent to substance
is the result of the work of grass roots organizations such as Narconon.
Through the combined efforts of all segments of our community, I am
confident that one day we will realize our goal of a drug free society."
John Seymour - State Senator
"As a medical doctor who has examined many Narconon clients over
the years, I have had a unique opportunity to observe the workability
of this program.
"Several of these former clients have continued to see me as their
personal physician, so I have been able to regularly monitor their conditions
over the years since the completion of their treatments.
"I can state without reservation that the Narconon program offers
the best chance of full recovery for those who have abused drugs or
alcohol. The totally drug-free approach and use of sauna and nutritional
supplements to detoxify the person from tissue accumulation of drugs
and toxins make the program unique in its field.
"I urge that continuing support be given to this most worthwhile
rehabilitation service."
Paul Jaconello, M.D.
"I have been involved with crime and related activities as a police
officer and now Commanding
Officer, Vice and Narcotics Squad, Chelsea for about twenty-six years.
"I can definitely state that there is a drug problem in existence
and this means a lot of related crime which is a direct result of an
addict paying for his habit.
The Narconon Program takes addicts off drugs without using any substitute
drugs. This means a lot since you have a program that gets rid of drug
addicts in the communities, brings families closer together, and handles
the crime problem on the streets.
"I support the Narconon Program and urge you to do so as well."
Lt. Francis J. Belanger - Vice Squad Commander
"Your program has once again helped my company salvage a very
valuable employee with a drug or alcohol problem. Rarely does this happen
in our company, but when it does, we are glad you're there.
"This person was a technician who knew his job well but was starting
to destroy his work relationship due to an alcohol and then drug-related
problem. Therefore, before quality suffered, we sent him to Narconon.
His problem dissolved and his quality and presence of self is there
again.
"Narconon (on Mr. Hubbard's technology) has consistently been
there for over 20 years now. It helped close to 60,000 people get completely
free of drugs and countless thousands to never touch them. I appreciate
that as I am an old fashioned American. I value man. Unlike many newcomers
who seem to be in the field for the buck or status and who are ineffective
to this purpose, Narconon really does the job and has saved many companies.
I know of key people some of whom were even executives who temporarily
needed a little help with drugs or alcohol.
"Your value is incredible. I hope you discover more ways you can
come in and help their people before it affects the bottom line. The
money is always well spent.
"Thank you always."
Chairman of the Board - Northland Purewater
"I write this letter based upon four years as a prosecutor in
drugs for the Federal Department of Justice, and thirteen years on the
Provincial Bench of this province.
"One of the very few functioning organizations successful in the
rehabilitation of heroin addicts,
in my opinion, is Narconon.
"Any support which this group can obtain from public funding is
in my opinion very worthy."
Charles M.Hyde, Judge - Provincial Court of British
Columbia
"In the course of my work I have had the opportunity to observe
firsthand the results of the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program,
and have found them to be nothing less than miraculous. The common theme
expressed by people who have completed the program is that they are
no longer encumbered by chemicals which were shutting off their lives.
They express increased mental clarity and new hope for the future. Their
lives upon completion of the program are happier, healthier and more
productive."
Megan Shields, M.D.
"I have acted as Medical consultant to the Narconon program for
15 years. For the past decade I have studied the results obtained through
the use of a detoxification method developed by Hubbard, utilizing vitamins,
sauna baths and exercise, which is a part of the Narconon program."
"While this detox method is strenuous, it is easily and safely
accomplished, after a medical checkup, when done under standard supervision
by trained personnel. "Narconon clients, with histories of moderate
to extremely heavy substance abuse, show a marked improvement in alertness,
clarity of thought and general health by undergoing this treatment.
Most also report a substantial reduction in their craving for drugs
or alcohol."
"Published scientific studies of the technique have shown it to
be successful in reducing the concentration in body tissues of a variety
of toxins and contaminants, and I highly recommend its continuing use
as an effective tool in the treatment of addictions."
Kathleen Kerr, M.D.
"It is my pleasure to provide you with my professional opinion
of the Narconon drug rehabilitation program. For many years I have dedicated
myself with the difficult task of rehabilitating substance abusers.
I have studied a variety of systems of rehabilitation and I have concluded
that we have in our possession a totally workable program through Narconon."
"Narconon utilizes a total drug-free approach in ridding a person
of chemical dependency.
In a study conducted in Spain by an independent sociological research
foundation it was found that 78% of the individuals were still off drugs
two years after they completed the program. In another study in Sweden,
it was found that 80% of the Narconon graduates who completed the program
were still drug-free five years after completing the program."
"The Spanish study also showed that before entering the Narconon
program 62.2% committed robberies and 73% sold drugs. After the Narconon
program, robberies and drug dealing decreased to 0%. In other words,
100% had no criminal activity after the program."
"The Spanish study was conducted by a sociological group called
Tecnicos Asociados de Investigacion y Marketing (TAIM). They have conducted
other studies for the Ministry of Health, the Social Services Department
of the Town Hall of Madrid, and the National Institute of Social Services
of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security..."
"As a doctor of the medical profession I would highly recommend
the Narconon program to you for those addicted to drugs. I have seen
over and over drug addicts go to the Narconon program and leave drug
free."
Dr. Juan I. Redondo
"Narconon has a program that works. I know. I did it. It saved
my life"
