The Narconon program has
from the beginning been founded on key principles developed by author and
humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. The keynote is that an individual is responsible
for his own condition and that anyone can improve his condition if he is given
a workable way to do so. It is based on improved understanding of his
fundamental nature: that man is basically good and it is pain, suffering, and
loss that lead him astray. |

In the early '60s, Mr.
Hubbard was one of the first to see the long-term consequences of the
accelerating drug culture. He responded warmly to William Benitez's request for
help with his fledgling Narconon program in Arizona State Prison and continued
to write up his observations on the effects of drugs on the individual person,
his body, and the society as a whole.
The Narconon program from
its inception promoted an approach to rehabilitation without recourse to
alternative drugs. This early program did not, however, deal directly with
withdrawal symptoms and difficulties. In 1973, after Mr. Hubbard had conducted
further research to aid Narconon staff to help others through the difficulties
of withdrawal discomfort safely and with minimal discomfort, the Narconon
program adopted these procedures to include drug-free withdrawal, using
vitamins and mineral supplements along with special techniques to ease the
mental and physical symptoms.

Another truly pioneering
innovation researched by Mr. Hubbard was adopted in 1978 known as the
Narconon® New Life Detoxification Program. This tissue-cleansing regimen of
specific vitamin/mineral therapy with cardiovascular exercise, intensive
sweating in low heat saunas, adequate replacement of fluids and oils, has
become immensely valuable for reducing the long-term physical and mental
effects of drug residuals on people who have taken drugs. |
"One has the choice of being dead with drugs or being alive
without them. Drugs rob life of the senstions and joys which are the only
reason for living anyhow". --L. Ron Hubbard

Mr. Hubbard noted the
scientific evidence behind the accumulation of drug and other toxic residuals
in the human body. He postulated the influence that these psychoactive toxins
might have subliminally and overtly on the mind and person and developed a
safe, healthy, and thorough method of cleansing the human body of the actual
drug residuals. |
With this Narconon® New Life Detoxification
Program students regularly report a remarkable increase in clarity of thinking,
peace of mind, and well being. It also greatly reduces or eliminates cravings
for drugs that stem from hidden drug toxins.
More than three decades
of scientific studies and follow-up have validated the theory and practice of
this remarkable procedure.
L. Ron Hubbard's
innovations to the Narconon program continued through the years, always
designed to facilitate a stable, drug-free life for individuals.
