Issued and delivered in the 1980 - 1985 time frame,
these are the issues that all persons doing the 
Purification Rundown were required to study prior 
to doing the actual Rundown itself. The checksheet 
was a separate issue which we do not have a copy of.
If you have a copy of the checksheet please post it.

NOTE: With the following exceptions, all documents
are reproduced exactly as issued.

All italicized or bold characters and underlines
have been omitted from this reproduction. Only 
minor spelling errors have been corrected.

If you have questions about the content of an
individual issue please refer to the Tech or
OEC Volumes (which were posted previously) for 
clarification. 

**************************************************

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Our purpose is to promote religious freedom and the Scientology
Religion by spreading the Scientology Tech across the internet.

The Cof$ abusively suppresses the practice and use of
Scientology Tech by FreeZone Scientologists. It misuses the
copyright laws as part of its suppression of religious freedom.

They think that all freezoner's are "squirrels" who should be
stamped out as heretics. By their standards, all Christians,
Moslems, Mormons, and even non-Hassidic Jews would be considered
to be squirrels of the Jewish Religion.

The writings of LRH form our Old Testament just as the writings
of Judiasm form the Old Testament of Christianity.

We might not be good and obedient Scientologists according
to the definitions of the Cof$ whom we are in protest against.

But even though the Christians are not good and obedient Jews,
the rules of religious freedom allow them to have their old
testament regardless of any Jewish opinion.

We ask for the same rights, namely to practice our religion
as we see fit and to have access to our holy scriptures
without fear of the Cof$ copyright terrorists.

We ask for others to help in our fight. Even if you do
not believe in Scientology or the Scientology Tech, we hope
that you do believe in religious freedom and will choose
to aid us for that reason.

Thank You,

The FZ Bible Association - Unit 9

HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE

HCO BULLETIN OF 3 JUNE 1957

EXPLANATION OF ABERRATIVE CHARACTER OF
RADIATION

As cosmic rays, gamma, x-rays, et al, apparently move through solids
without encountering resistance, they then invalidate solids. This is a direct
invalidation of the solidity of anything including a mock-up. Thus it tends to
say a thing is not there -- thus that a creation has not been made.

This then has been used as a means of discounting creativeness or of
discounting solids. For example, any child being x-rayed has been baffled as
to how "he wasn't there" when the picture was made. The rays went straight
through. This made him feel he wasn't solid -- was not real.

When a body is over x-rayed it ceases to create sexually and creates on a
cellular level in a highly irresponsible way. This is cancer.

Radiation ills stem from the not-thereness of creations. Mental Image
Pictures, mock-ups, are apparently vanished.

"Making things solid" remedies all such Radiation ills easily. Show Me
objective and subjective does as well.

Radiation, then, is the proof that a solid thing is not solid. This is an
invalidation that one has created. Thus Radiation is seen to hit at all
creativeness. Its irresponsibility factor is also this -- one cannot be
responsible for things which are proven not to exist.

This also tells us that time began on an invalidation of solids.

In actual proof Procedure CCH, run with this understanding and Problems
of Incomparable or Comparable Magnitude to Radiation, resolves Radiation.

THE BIG AUDITING PROBLEM

If you were to take a mediumly good race driver and you wanted to make
out of him a championship race driver, I'm afraid you would have to train him
from scratch. And you would have to train him with a great deal more ardor
than you would have to train just a kid that just walked in from Kokomo with
an interest in motors.

Nevertheless, if you were successful in training a mediumly good race
driver with a lot of races behind him, straight from scratch and all the way
through, you would have a championship race driver -- there would be no doubt
about this whatever. Whereas the kid from Kokomo might or might not.

I will tell you at once the first and foremost factor, and that is,
auditing does require a certain amount of stamina. It takes a certain amount
of what it takes just to stay around Scientology -- there is that, you see. It
takes a certain amount of -- to use a technical term -- "guts." You know that.
In the first place, the problem of living is complicated by the fact that you
know what the other fellow is doing, and he doesn't. You go down to the bank
and your communication is disturbed by the degree that you know the fellow
behind the teller's window is a 1.5, the like of which you've never seen
before, and he thinks he's just a good average human being doing a job, and
you count your change more carefully than you would on some other bank
teller.

Now there is a tremendous advantage in this. You don't walk around all
the time in a figure-figure wondering what's wrong with you because you don't
always get along invariably with other people uniformly well. Now you realize
that the bulk of the human race is walking around with the belief that there
is something wrong somewhere, but they don't quite know what it is and it
worries them. Now when you get up to a degree where you have some idea of this
worry, you are aware of the factors which exist, the fact that your awareness
has increased is all in your favor.

One of the great truths of Scientology is that INCREASED AWARENESS IS
THE ONLY FACTOR WHICH OFFERS ANY ROAD OUT. That is an awfully simple truth,
but you'll find out that people don't know that. They think that LESS
awareness is the road out -- and that is the road down into the basement.

All right -- you live in a world that is trying right now to commit
suicide on the grandest scale it has ever attempted, although I will say that
when they dug up that last cave down in the Middle East and found seven
civilizations, they did find under the shreds of the seventh civilization
green glass, which looked awfully like the green glass from an atomic
explosion out in the middle of the New Mexican desert. In other words, tens of
thousands of years ago there was evidently another atomic blast, and perhaps
everybody has been coming forward through barbarism and so on up the line.


- 1 -
_

It is quite amusing to notice that atomic radiation DOES reverse the genetic
line. It gives a throwback. It produces the more original forms.

So you would expect the human race at this time to be walking toward
greater and greater individual survival and less and less group survival. And
here you are with some kind of a notion of the fact that the third dynamic
exists and you are able to march out a bit on the third dynamic and the rest
of the world is retreating back to the first dynamic -- probably an inverted
first.

I just had a report from our Public Relations Unit concerning the amount
of attention being paid to injured persons alongside the road and on the
street, and the report summed up that practically no attention was being paid
now to anybody who was injured. That is quite interesting, because it has
suffered, according to Public Relations, a considerable shift in attitude
during the last two months. You are quite well aware of the fact that there
might be just a tiny amount of radiation in the air which would never really
damage anybody physically at all, yet which would restimulate people into a
heavy unknowing games condition. So they would begin to act more and more
hectic and on the first dynamic. This would be one of the first symptoms that
you would discover in a society -- everybody takes out on the Only One
classification. Now that is the road to death. It doesn't matter whether or
not the society at large ever is atom-bombed, that point is not of any great
interest to us. It IS of great interest to us, however, that the effects of
radiation and its presence in the society drives people down the dynamics.

All right. So although it is pretty hard to live around Scientology very
often -- somebody tells me, "You know, that is awfully restimulative material
which is in these lectures" (I've heard this said two or three times), "Oh, I
don't know, I've sat through a lot of lectures and it just restimulated me and
I'm in terrible shape now." And I've also heard somebody in the organization
look at a remark like this and laugh. They say, "Well, the only real
difference is that you're in terrible shape, that's sure, but now you know
it." And if you're in bad shape, it's better to know it than not know it,
that's for sure.

What happens to Scientology and Scientologists in a world of this
character? What happens to us? Why should we know what we know and know it
well, and so on? That's because your basic attitude toward the world at large
will have to be more and more an auditor's attitude toward a preclear if you
are going to accomplish any survival at all. To get anybody to do anything
will probably require an auditor here in the near future. I will give you an
idea of this.

In North Africa they had the Arab with the gun and whip. He could force
people to do things with a gun and a whip and he accomplished a tremendous
amount of extermination, but he certainly didn't advance that civilization
very much. In South Africa they had a bit of the whip but everybody just gave
up. The South African native is probably the one impossible person to train in
the entire world -- he is probably impossible by any human standard. I'll give
you an example. A South African native is being shown how to sow crops and he
has a basket, and he's got some seed, and he's walking along back of the
harrow disc -- and he is supposed to throw seed out this way: seed out this
way, seed out that way, seed out this way. A white man is riding a little
tractor that's pulling the disc and scraping the soil for the seed. And this
scene was enacted and was witnessed and was told to me with considerable
hilarity as some kind of an idea of learning rate. The white man was sitting
on the little tractor pulling the harrow, the native along behind him, sowing
the seed straight down in handfuls on the ground. The white man got off the
tractor, came back to the native, took the basket away from him, put his hand
in the basket, threw it to the right, put his hand in the basket, threw it to
the left, and gave it back to the native. And the native waited, the white man
got on the tractor, drove along, and the native took a handful out of the


- 2 -


basket and threw it straight on the ground. So the white man got off the
tractor, came back, took the basket away from the native, showed the native,
throw it to the right, throw it to the left, gave it back to the native, took
his seat again on the tractor, the native followed along behind, took handfuls
and threw it straight on the ground! And this went on for a very long time.
The native never did throw any handfuls of seed to the right and left. Never
did. That is farming in South Africa.

Now did anything ever come along and change that? Yes. Man had to cease
to be Homo Sapiens and had to become Homo Scientologicus in order to
accomplish any action that was anywhere near efficient in South Africa. And we
have had some auditors in South Africa who have actually succeeded in training
natives easily and well and have successfully managed large organizations
there. That's certainly something. Now with these people it was still possible
to get something done. But what had this native done? Was this native what we
think of as primitive stock? No, we make a great many mistakes. We say a child
is in a "native state." A native is in a "native state." People are in a
barbaric condition and then they grow up and become civilized. How do we know
that this barbaric condition isn't a retrogression from a highly civilized
condition back to an Only One category? How do we know that isn't true? How do
we know that that native didn't at one time achieve a great civilization of
culture which then collapsed on him and he went back into a state of being a
barbarian?

But the point is, is this true that a native is in a clearer state, and
is it true that it requires Livingness to advance somebody in that crude state
up to a condition of ability? No, that is not true. The child, the primitive,
the native, are in retrograded states. They are worse off than somebody who is
at a civilized or thinking or analytical level.

I will give you an interesting example of this. If you can tell the
difference between a lot of little kids you run into, and psychos, I'll give
you a medal. Now the funny part of it is that little kids have something to
hope for. They have the future to grow up into. And that's their only asset.
Almost everything else is on the debit side of the column. Here is this poor
devil who has been slugged, he's just lost a body, he's been put into a state
of anxiety, here he's got another body, is it going to get along right or
isn't it? He's got the hope that it will grow and that alone can carry him
forward and color the world brightly for him, but at the same time he is
suffering from death shock. And because he is suffering from death shock, he
is coming along very timidly with his learning. Now that is the condition a
little kid is in, and when you KNOW that a little kid is in that condition,
boy! can you handle him! You don't label him with this omnipresent overused
term "insane," or "psychotic," you don't do that. This person is having a
terrible time trying to adjust himself to his environment and control a body
which is suffering from many responses he does not understand, and he is at
his wit's end. The delusions of children and death delusions are quite
similar. When a person dies and starts to pull out of that body, he generally
snaps in on himself a torrent of facsimiles of one kind or another. He has all
sorts of weird things that go "boomp in the night" present themselves at that
moment.

And very often you get a preclear who is suffering merely from the death
shock. And he is psychotic, he's crazy, he doesn't know whether he is coming
or going. Why? Because he's surrounded by things he cannot understand -- and
that is the common denominator of all lack of orientation, of all aberration.
It's being surrounded by things you cannot understand. And a child, surrounded
by these things he cannot understand, therefore can produce what we call
childhood delusions. But I can't find any real difference between these
childhood delusions and the delusions being suffered by a person about to die
or a person in an asylum.

When the kid gets worried, he's worried. Now who can handle him? Mamas
and papas across the face of Earth today, particularly in America, have just
about given up.


- 3 -


We have a whole philosophy -- we hardly dignify it with the name of Science or
even really dignify it with the name of Philosophy -- which tells us that the
child must be permitted to express himself, that you let the child do anything
he pleases in any direction that he pleases and he will be all right -- now
that is modern psychology at work with children, and it is not true.

A child requires understanding and a child requires assistance in
controlling the environment around him which is already too big, too strong,
and is moving much too fast on him. He has to be set a good example of 8-C. I
am not now talking about heavy discipline. I'll show you the shortness of
discipline. How many people have told you to be a good boy or a good girl, and
when you were a good boy and a good girl, they never came to you and said,
"Thank you for being a good boy or a good girl." I almost startled little
Quentin out of his wits a couple of evenings ago. I told him to be a good boy
now and go to sleep. He was feeling upset. "Stay in bed, now, get some rest."
He was very quiet for half an hour. I went downstairs again and noticed he was
still awake, and I said, "Thank you very much for being a good boy." He
smiled, looked sort of dazed -- it really shook him. And ever since then he's
been saying -- he always says it with enthusiasm, but with this he just about
bursts the walls -- "HELLO, DADDY!" He is really in communication. Probably
the first time it's happened to him in seventy-six trillion years. You get the
idea! Somebody did give him an order and then did finally acknowledge that he
had executed it. But there is a common lag on the executing of such an order
as "Be good," or "Go to sleep," and there is never an auditor there to say
"Thank you," never an auditor there to say "You did it." So life is finished
with these tremendous numbers of unfinished cycles.

If one is bad, it gets acknowledged, confirmed and pushed around, but if
he's good, it's sort of neglected. That is an interesting factor right there.
But all I am telling you is that children, South African natives, and now the
entirety of this world in which we are living, present to us an auditing
problem. We are rich in being able to understand what is happening in our
environment and we are rich also in knowing exactly how to handle such a
circumstance or condition. Nobody knew before. That is factually true here on
Earth.

HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE
Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex

HCO BULLETIN OF 27 DECEMBER 1965
Remimeo
Solo Audit Course
Clearing Course
Saint Hill Pcs
Franchise VITAMINS

I have found that 600 milligrams of Vitamin E (minimum) per day assists
Scientology processing very markedly.

Data on Vitamin E applied to other fields is available from Webber
Pharmaceuticals, Ltd, 14 Ronson Drive, Rexdale, Ontario, Canada. An excellent
popular book on Vitamin E in its various uses is available from booksellers.
It is Your Key to a Healthy Heart: The suppressed record of Vitamin E by
Herbert Bailey, published by the Shilton Company, Philadelphia. The Shute
Foundation for Medical Research, London, Ontario, Canada, pioneered the
subject and will give general advice.

In Johannesburg due to high altitude, no pc may be processed who is not
taking at least 600 mg per day of Vitamin E.

The apparent action of this Vitamin is to oxygenate the blood and inhibit
the body from pulling in mental messages due to oxygen-energy starvation.

In areas where it is against the law to recommend vitamins this HCO B
does not apply.

Vitamin E, according to Bailey, is suppressed because it cures heart
disease which furnishes 50% of the revenue of the U.S. medical doctor.

I read the book by Bailey and did some experimental work with Vitamin E
with interesting success. Webber Pharmaceuticals has airmailed me further
literature.

It is useless, I believe, to take less than 600 mg per day and lesser
doses have little or no reaction on processing. One has to take it for two or
three days before it begins to have any effect.

The most direct result is quite measurable on an E-Meter. Reads of the
needle become longer. Tone Arm action increases.

It works by itself but is best taken with an old-time "Guk Bomb". The
formula of the "bomb" is variable but is basically 100 mg of Vitamin B1, 15 gr
of calcium, 500 mg of Vitamin C. If you add 100 mg of old-time nicotinic acid
(not niacinamide) and take it daily it becomes "Dianazene" for radiation
prevention. Don't include nicotinic acid in the formula with Vitamin E unless
you are trying to get rid of radiation or radiation sickness. The nicotinic
acid is not necessary to smoother processing and will not assist it. 100 mg of
Vitamin B1 lasts for only 47 minutes so far as processing is concerned. But it
helps in general tone. Vitamin E does not have a quick reaction so far as
processing is concerned, one merely takes it and as the days go by processing
is easier to do. It doesn't wear out in a session, but you have to keep on
taking it daily. 600 mg is the minimum. There is no maximum but some heart
cases take up to 1,250. Shutes in treatment of disease recommend 400-600 mg
per day for the average sized woman and 600-800 mg per day for the average
sized male.

It doesn't seem to matter to processing whether the Vitamin E is "Alpha
Tocopherol", synthetic or what. Just any Vitamin E apparently works.

Vitamin E assists a great many ills including diabetes and may have some
effect on many others.

It, even with "Guk", will not by itself release or clear anyone. When
dosage is discontinued what it "cured" might relapse. But while it is being
taken one feels fine and there's no reason to stop taking it.

- 1 - 


To get the best results one should probably take 600 mg and a Guk bomb
each day, preferably after eating.

One person in a million is said to get an adverse "side effect" from
taking Vitamin E but it is not fatal and this may not even be true. The "side
effect" is said to be temporarily raised blood pressure.

If anyone makes this up into a single tablet be sure that the tablet is
not pressed so hard that it won't dissolve easily in the stomach.

Dianazene (for radiation) fails utterly when all ingredients are pressed
together into one tablet.

Vitamin E is generally available but sometimes has to be specially
ordered. It is useless to buy it in less than 100 mg tablets. Preferably 200
mg tablets of it should be bought. However it is bought, just be sure there's
enough of it (300 to 600 mg). Small quantities don't produce any effect at
all, which is why the medicos earlier missed its value.

Anyone's auditing can benefit from it but at Levels VI and VII it becomes
quite vital.

Oxygen causes the body to attract mental image pictures less. Carbon
dioxide pulls mental images hard in on the body.

Vitamin E, oxygenating the body, acts mentally like taking oxygen. The
body can go longer on less oxygen and becomes less exhausted when taking
Vitamin E in sufficient quantity.

The body is of course a carbon-oxygen engine running at a temperature of
98.6 degrees F. There is possibly less oxygen in Earth's atmosphere than there
was and the body runs better when it can better utilize what oxygen there is.
Vitamin E assists it to do this and so it doesn't pull in mental masses. At
least that's the theory I've been able to work out to account for the observed
increase in E-Meter action in the preclear who is daily taking sufficient
Vitamin E. When the vitamin is no longer administered, in about 24 hours the
preclear begins to run less easily (same as before Vitamin E plus any auditing
gain) and the needle read size returns to what it was before Vitamin E was
used. When Vitamin E is again daily administered, in two days, meter behavior
improves again.

I have not had time to do many series but the observational data is so
marked that it's like proving stones are solid. One doesn't feel like
repeating the experiment endlessly -- it is so obvious.

A mental subject addressed reads longer (more reads) in the presence of
Vitamin E than in its absence but clears more thoroughly, leaving less mental
mass.

I only insist that persons in England on the Level VI and VII Courses
should use Vitamin E and that Saint Hill preclears for Grade V be put on it
and only forbid pcs to be processed without it in high altitude Johannesburg.

The cost of it is the pc's. No org is to supply it. Webber
Pharmaceuticals, Ltd can probably direct one to better supplies or brands of
it.

We are not in the Vitamin business or even in the health business. Anyone
else using it in processing does so at his or her own choice. This HCO B is a
release of scientific data.

Vitamins are food. They are not drugs. Processing under drugs is very
bad. Some vitamins, however, help. And Vitamin E is a wonder.

PROGRAM

(This data is released as a record of researches and results
noted. It cannot be construed as a recommendation of medical
treatment or medication and it is undertaken by anyone on his
own responsibility.)

The basic bulletin on the Purification Rundown (HCOB 6 Feb. 78RB, Purif RD 
Series 1, THE PURIFICATION RUNDOWN REPLACES THE SWEAT PROGRAM) contains, as a 
record of researches and results, the approximate daily amounts of the various 
vitamins and minerals on which most persons are started on the rundown.

These beginning dosages are listed below:

NIACIN: 100 mg (or less, depending upon
individual tolerance at the start).

VITAMIN A: approximately 5000 IU.

VITAMIN D: approximately 400 IU.

VITAMIN C: approximately 250-1000 mg, depending upon individual
tolerance.

VITAMIN E: approximately 800 IU.

VITAMIN B1: 250-500 mg.

VITAMIN B approximately 2 tablets per day,
COMPLEX: containing the same amounts of B2 and B6.

CAL-MAG: at least one glass daily, and a multi-mineral tablet 
containing a balanced combination of multi-minerals.

Vitamin B Complex: The vitamin B-complex tablet that was used in the original 
Purification Rundown research was one which contained:

B1 - 50 mg. Folic Acid - 100 mcg.

B2 - 50 mg. Biotin - 50 mcg.

B6 - 50 mg. Choline - 50 mg.

B12 - 50 mcg. Niacinamide - 50 mg.

Pantothenic Acid - 50 mg. Inositol - 50 mg.

PABA - 50 mg.

all in a base of lecithin, parsley, rice bran, watercress and alfalfa.




The same tablet or one with similar content is still used very 
successfully in delivering the Purification Rundown.

(Special Note on Niacinamide: The majority of vitamin B-complex tablets on the 
market include niacinamide in small amounts, which is the substance invented by 
someone to keep an individual from turning on a niacin flush. Therefore, as 
such, niacinamide is worthless. The likelihood is that this amount of 
niacinamide in a B-complex tablet acts only upon the niacin content in that 
specific tablet to eliminate any flush caused by its own niacin content. Results 
from the piloting of the rundown, where plenty of niacin flush was experienced 
on different dosages of niacin itself [in combination with the flanking vitamins 
and minerals], indicate that the inclusion of niacinamide in the B complex had 
little if any effect upon the flush that resulted from the additional dosages of 
niacin taken. However, where a B-complex tablet can be found that includes 
niacin rather than niacinamide, that would be the preferable tablet to use. It 
is also possible to have a B-complex tablet especially made up that includes 
actual niacin, INSTEAD OF niacinamide, in amounts equal to the Bl and B6 
amounts, particularly if one is ordering it in fairly large amounts. Note: Where 
a B-complex tablet that includes niacin is used, this adds that much more to the 
daily niacin intake and this must be taken into consideration when increasing 
niacin and B-complex dosages.)

Mineral Tablet: The multi-mineral tablet used contains the following mineral 
amounts per each 9 tablets. In other words, one tablet would provide only l/g of 
the following mineral amounts:

500 mg calcium

250 mg magnesium

18 mg iron

15 mg zinc

4 mg manganese

2 mg copper

45 mg potassium (protein complex)

.225 mg iodine (kelp).

In the tablet used, the minerals, except the potassium and the iodine, are 
"chelated"* (bonded with) super amino acids* in a base of selenium, yeast, DNA, 
RNA, ginseng, alfalfa leaf flour, parsley, watercress and cabbage.

*amino acids: to define them very simply, are basic organic compounds 
which are essential to the body's breakdown and absorption of foods.

*chelation: is taken from a Greek word meaning "claw." It is a process by 
which minerals are held, as if by a claw, by amino acids. This bonding of 
a mineral with an amino acid exists in nature as a necessary step for the 
mineral to be absorbed and used by the body. Thus, with this step already 
provided, the mineral is more easily absorbed and used.

In the original Purification Rundown research, multi-mineral dosages were 
started at 1 to 2 tablets daily. Then, as the niacin and other vitamins were 
increased in proportion to each other, the mineral dosages were increased 
accordingly in increments of 2 to 3 tablets, 4 to 5 tablets and 5 to 6 tablets.

FURTHER RESEARCH HAS SINCE INDICATED THAT, DUE TO THE LARGE AMOUNTS OF 
MINERALS LOST IN SWEATING IN THE SAUNA, HIGHER DOSAGES OF MINERALS GIVE MOST 
OPTIMUM RESULTS. (Ref: HCOB 3 Jan. 84, Purif RD Series 7, RADIATION AND LIQUIDS) 

PROPORTIONATE VITAMIN/MINERAL INCREASES

The tables below provide the most current research data on approximately 
how the vitamins and minerals have been increased, in ratio, when the niacin was 
increased as the person progressed on the rundown.

The dosages in these tables show the variations of individual tolerances 
encountered and the ranges of increase which have proven most effective in the 
majority of cases.

(Note: The number of mineral tablets to be taken would
depend upon the strength of the particular tablet used. The
importance is that one gets the necessary amounts of the
minerals. It has been found that large tablets may not be
as easily broken down and absorbed into the body as smaller
tablets may be. Thus, one might not get the same amount of
minerals from a large tablet as from several smaller
tablets even though the large tablet might contain the same
amount of minerals.)

HOW TO READ THE TABLES

As a clarification, first of all, the figures on these tables designating 
points of increase (stages l, 2, 3, 4 and 5) do NOT refer to the first, second, 
third, fourth and fifth days of the rundown. They refer to approximate "stages" 
of vitamin and mineral increase (in relation to the niacin increase) that an 
individual goes through on the rundown.

On the vitamin table, under stage 1, the first figure given for each 
vitamin shows the usual starting dosage of that vitamin used for most 
individuals. The range then shown under stage l indicates how these starting 
dosages may be increased within a few days or within a week or so, depending 
upon the niacin reaction the person is experiencing.

On the mineral table. under stage 1, the first column of figures (reading 
downward) gives the usual starting mineral dosages for most individuals. The 
range under stage 1 shows the possible rate of mineral increase during this 
first phase of the rundown.

The same applies to the increments shown at stages 2, 3, 4 and 5 on both tables.

EXAMPLE:

Person A starts the rundown on 100 mg of niacin plus the other beginning 
increments of vitamins, per the vitamin table. His beginning increments of 
minerals, per the mineral table, are approximately: calcium 500 mg; magnesium 
250 mg; iron 18 mg; zinc 15 mg; manganese 4 mg; copper 2 mg; potassium 45 mg and 
iodine .225 mg.

He continues with these daily dosages until the niacin effects have 
diminished - in his case this occurs on, let us say, the third day of the 
rundown. At that point his niacin dosage is increased to 200 mg daily, with the 
other daily vitamins and minerals increased proportionately, and he continues on 
those dosages until the niacin effects have diminished. Progressing in this way, 
by the seventh day of the rundown his vitamin and mineral dosages have been 
increased up to the levels given in stage 2 of the tables. After the ninth day, 
his vitamins and minerals may have been increased all the way up to stage 3 as 
shown on the tables. And he continues in this way all the way up through the 
levels of dosages at stage 5.

This varies from one individual to the next.

Person B, for example, starts on 100 mg of niacin and the accompanying
vitamin and mineral dosages, and may then require a week or more to work up to 
the levels of vitamin and mineral dosages shown at stage 2. He may then move 
rapidly through stage 2, take another week to move through stage 3 and actually 
complete the rundown at some point on stage 4.

There is no rote pattern to be followed. It is totally a matter of 
standardly applying the data given as to when the niacin should be increased. 
(Ref: HCOB 6 Feb. 78RB, Rev. 21.4.83, Purif RD Series 1, THE PURIFICATION 
RUNDOWN REPLACES THE SWEAT PROGRAM) That is the factor that may vary widely from 
one individual to the next.

The tables above, however, show the guidelines which were followed, per 
the most recent research, for increasing the vitamin and mineral increments 
proportionately at the times the niacin was increased.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON VITAMINS AND MINERALS

It should be stressed here that individual tolerances were and always must 
be taken into consideration in each case. Quantities of vitamin C especially 
would need to be carefully increased according to the person's tolerance of it, 
as too much vitamin C can result in stomach upsets or diarrhea for some people.

Additionally, vitamins and minerals should NOT be taken on an empty 
stomach, as they could cause stomach burn. They should be taken after meals or, 
if taken between meals, with yogurt.

Most multiple mineral formulas include the major mineral elements required 
by the body but not all of the trace minerals.

"Trace" minerals are those minerals which have been found essential to 
maintaining life, even though they are found in the body in very small-i.e., 
"trace"- amounts.

The main trace minerals currently include cobalt, copper, iodine, 
manganese, molybdenum, zinc, selenium and chromium. Tin was also added as an 
essential trace mineral as late as 1970.

Nutritional researchists are the first to admit that the work in this 
field is very far from complete, and there will undoubtedly be other trace 
minerals added to the list as such research is continued.

Currently, also, there are fairly wide differences of opinion among 
nutritionists as to the minimum daily requirements of the various minerals and 
especially the trace minerals.

Minerals are found in a wide variety of foods. Natural foods, undamaged by 
processing, are the best sources of minerals as they exist in unprocessed foods 
in the combinations in which they are most effective. But minerals can also be 
lacking in foods grown in mineral-depleted soil. Additionally, of course, there 
is no one food that supplies them all.

Therefore, it may be necessary to use more than one type of multi-mineral 
tablet to ensure one is getting all of the minerals, including the trace 
minerals, that are required by the body.

Note: These vitamin and mineral tables do not include any additional 
vitamins or minerals which might be needed in cases of specific deficiencies an 
individual might have. Any such particular deficiency would need to be 
determined by a medical doctor and remedied with the additional vitamin or 
mineral dosages recommended.

Four of the more informative books on the subject of nutritional vitamins 
and minerals are the following by Adelle Davis: Let's Get Well, Let's Eat Right 
to Keep Fit, Let's Cook It Right and Let's Have Healthy Children.

The additional research data released in this issue is not to be construed 
as a recommendation of medical treatment or medication. It is given here as a 
record of food supplements in the form of nutritional vitamins and minerals 
which appeared to be effective in the piloting and development of the 
Purification Rundown.

Pregnant women should not be routed onto the Purification Rundown.

During pregnancy there is a certain amount of fluid exchange between the 
mother and the fetus, via the placenta. It has been found that on the 
Purification Rundown, toxins which might have been lying dormant in the body are 
released and eliminated via sweat-out. In the case of pregnancy, some of these 
toxins, instead of being eliminated, could be transmitted to the fetus in a flow 
of fluids from the mother to the unborn child. There is no reason to risk the 
possibility of subjecting the unborn child to the effects of such toxins which, 
even if present but remaining dormant, might not otherwise reach him.

Similarly, mothers who are breast-feeding their babies should not do the 
Purification Rundown until the baby is no longer being breast-fed, as any toxins 
released during the rundown could be imparted to the baby in the mother's milk.

The Purification Rundown would be done by the mother after the birth of 
the child and after any final medical check which pronounced the mother in good 
health, and, in the case of breast-feeding, when the baby had been completely 
weaned and was on his own formula.

Deposits of drugs and biochemical substances in the body can prevent or 
inhibit case gain. They can also impede learning. The Purification Rundown is 
now a very early step on the Grade Chart so that a person can get the most 
possible gains from his later auditing.

Where a person has had case actions, repair, cramming or hatting before 
doing the Purification Rundown, he may not have benefited from these actions to 
the extent he could have, due to the effects of unhandled drugs. A person who 
has had extensive repair, little gain on auditing actions or trouble in cramming 
or hatting before doing the Purification Rundown may need a sort-out on those 
previous actions once the Purification Rundown is complete so that any errors 
can be handled. (The majority of such preclears would be drug cases who received 
auditing or cramming actions before the release of the Purification Rundown in 
early 1980.) 

In such a case it may be necessary to:

1. CORRECT ANY FAILED AUDITING REPAIR HE WAS GIVEN BEFORE THE 
PURIFICATION RUNDOWN.

2. REPAIR AND COMPLETE ANY FAILED AUDITING PROCESS HE WAS GIVEN BEFORE 
THE PURIFICATION RUNDOWN.

3. REPAIR ANY FAILED CRAMMING, CORRECTION OR ESTO ACTIONS HE WAS GIVEN 
BEFORE OR DURING THE PURIFICATION RUNDOWN.

These steps are not necessarily done in the sequence laid out above, and 
they are not actions that would be done on every pc. Not every pc will need 
them. However, they are steps that should be considered by the C/S in 
programming a pc who has had auditing or cramming prior to doing the 
Purification Rundown.

Any needed repair should be programed standardly per the C/S Series HCOBs,

----------

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, 6 Case Supervisors from 5 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 street-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, 5 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 5 hours.) Not everyone has gone immediately onto a full 
5-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 5 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 long 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 5 
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 5 hours per day, provided the person is getting benefit and change on 
the shorter schedule.

The shorter schedules ranged from 4 hours down to a minimum of 2 1/2 hours 
daily, always with a higher percentage of time spent in the sauna than in 
running.

The absolute minimum daily period found to give good return on the rundown 
was 2 1/2 hours total running and sauna time. This period would then be spent as 
follows: approximately 20 to 30 minutes of running and the remaining 2 hours or 
so in the sauna.

The same gradients applied when the person was on or starting on a 2 1/2 
hour daily schedule as on any other schedule.




C/S approval would be obtained for the person to do the rundown on this 
shorter schedule, as there are other factors that enter into it. Any medical 
advice or order for the person to be on the shorter schedule would, of course,
need to be followed.

The rundown can and in most cases has taken longer to complete on a 
shortened daily schedule, but survey results show that it can be done 
successfully by a good many people at a minimum of 2 1 / 2 hours daily provided 
all other points of the rundown are standardly maintained.

3. DOES THE EXTENT OF A PERSON'S DRUG HISTORY SEEM TO BE A FACTOR IN HOW MUCH 
TIME WOULD BE SPENT DAILY ON THE PURIFICATION RUNDOWN?

Per all the research and survey data thus far; the extent of drug history 
is definitely a factor in determining how much time daily an individual would 
spend on the rundown.

Beyond any doubt, the survey showed that those with heavy or even mediumly 
heavy drug histories benefited most from the 5-hour daily schedule. This can 
apply to persons with heavy medical-drug histories as well as to those who have 
had heavy street drugs.

There are reports on record of persons with heavy drug histories who, 
though they had done fairly well at the beginning of the rundown on 2 1 / 2 
hours a day (some phenomena turning on and blowing), did not begin to turn on
restimulation of actual "trips" and blow through them until they got onto a 5-
hour daily schedule.

Others reported that if something turned on while in the sauna, they made 
it a point to stick carefully to the sauna time (taking short breaks as 
necessary for water, salt or potassium or to cool off) until the manifestation 
blew, and they then came out feeling good and refreshed. These same persons 
reported that if they short-cut the sauna time because something uncomfortable 
had turned on they came out feeling bad or dull and it would then take longer to 
blow through the manifestation.

Even some people with very light drug histories reported feeling calmer 
and more uptone after a stint in the sauna which was long enough to permit them 
to get through any restim or discomfort that had turned on.



HCOB 21.5.80 - 4 - 



There is everything to be said for putting a person on a schedule which 
will permit him to handle these factors, and it was found particularly important 
that those with heavy or mediumly heavy drug histories were scheduled properly 
so that they were able to get full return from the action and wind up with the 
EP.

4. WHO DETERMINES WHAT DAILY LENGTH OF TIME THE PERSON SHOULD BE ON ON THE 
RUNDOWN?

On any question as to daily schedule, the C/S would adjudicate as to the 
daily time period for the individual.

In any case where the person was doing the rundown on a special medical

program, the C/S would ensure any doctor's orders regarding schedule were 
adhered to.

The C/S's first consideration would be what is going to give the person 
the most gain. Wherever possible the person would do 5 hours daily and most 
people have done this. In instances where a shorter daily schedule was actually 
required for best results on some individuals, the schedule was adjusted per C/S 
adjudication.

In cases where persons honestly had limited time, these were considered 
for the minimum 2 1 / 2 -hour daily time period, as it would have been altered 
importance to deny them the rundown otherwise. But it was necessary to ensure
that each person could and did make progress on the shorter daily schedule as he 
continued it and, if not, getting him onto the proper regimen.

Some who started at 2 1 / 2 hours daily later requested to move up to the 
5-hour period, and there have been cases where persons on the shorter schedule 
were getting heavy restimulation of drugs which they could not handle on the 
shorter period, and when switched to the 5-hour period by the C/S, they did 
remarkably better. This can occur, apparently, with street-drug or medical-drug 
users and is something for the C/S to bear in mind. The heavier drug cases were, 
where possible, put on the 5-hour schedule to begin with.

Again, per the survey data, correct gradient was the watchword here, as in 
all aspects of the Purification Rundown.

The C/Sing of cases on the rundown would not be done rotely but always 
done on an individual basis with the individual never pushed further or faster 
than he could go. (To do otherwise would be a violation of the tech of the 
rundown and a violation of the tech on gradients.)

The successful action has been to get the person on a schedule where he is 
winning and able to handle what comes up and then ensure he gets in that amount 
of time each day and preferably at the same time each day.

Regularity of schedule plays a big part in completing the rundown smoothly 
and effectively with all the benefit to be had.

5. WHAT REACTIONS HAVE BEEN NOTED WHEN PARTS OF THE RUNDOWN WERE SKIMPED OR 
WHEN THE RUNDOWN WAS DONE IRREGULARLY?

LIMITED GAIN PER HOUR

One of the factors examined closely in the course of this survey was 
whether or not there was a common sauna time 



HCOB 21.5.80 - 5 -



limit for most people (within the 5 
hours) after which the person got tired and the individual got less return for 
the remainder of the period.

In those cases where the rundown was being carried out very standardly, 
there were no reports of such tiredness setting in before the 5 hours were up 
which were due to length of time spent in the sauna. (Some of these cases 
reported they experienced tiredness as part of a restimulation of drug 
reactions, etc., but they were able to spot it as such and blow through it 
within the 5-hour period.)

However, there were 24 reports from individuals stating they did get tired 
in the sauna well within the 5 hours and got limited or no benefit from it 
beyond that tiring point. The daily time limits for gain reported by these 24 
cases varied widely from person to person, the reported limits ranging from 4 
hours down to 21/2 hours or less.

The individual's drug history did not seem to be a factor, as the reports 
came from persons whose drug histories ranged from heavy down to few or no 
drugs, medical or otherwise.

These 24 cases were looked into carefully, and when all the pertinent data 
was examined (some of it obtained by metered interview), what showed up were 
departures from the standard procedure as given in the Purification Rundown 
HCOBs.

The departures found were (in order of frequency):

a. Not enough sleep;

b. Insufficient salt or potassium or Bioplasma taken while in the sauna or 
before running, OR a combination of (a) and (b);

c. Dropped out vitamins that day, skimping on vitamins or taking vitamins 
sporadically;

d. An undetected and/or unhandled vitamin deficiency.

In one case out of the 24 the person was found to be anemic and he should 
not have put himself onto the program. This was handled by getting the person 
onto a special medical program to be carried out under medical supervision 
before the rundown could be completed.

Correction of the other cases brought about smoother progress and much 
improved results.

At best, any one of the above-listed outnesses or omissions could result 
in the person tiring too quickly, experiencing unnecessary discomfort, getting 
limited gain per hour and prolonging the rundown unnecessarily. The apparency 
would be that the rundown was not working when in actual fact it was not being 
applied standardly.

Where a person on any schedule reports he is tiring at a certain point and 
getting little or no benefit per hour spent beyond that point, one would need to 
determine if an adjustment of the daily time period was needed. But, as has been 
found, additionally and always one would carefully examine exactly what the 
person was doing on each section of the rundown and get any outnesses rectified.

Regardless of whether the person is on the maximum or minimum daily 
schedule, departures from other aspects of the procedure would decrease the 
benefits until these departures were handled.



HCOB 21.5.80 - 6 -



SLEEP

In the 24 cases mentioned above and in some other cases reporting problems 
on the rundown, by far the most common outness found was lack of sufficient 
sleep.

This is covered in the original bulletin under the section on a properly 
ordered personal schedule. However, it should be reemphasized here that adequate 
sleep has been found to be a vital factor in the correct application of this 
rundown. People function best when they are sufficiently rested.

Some tiredness has not been uncommon at certain intervals during the 
course of the rundown, even when the procedure was being carried out standardly. 
It can occur when the person first goes onto the program and needs to build up 
to the full daily time period on a gradient. It can also occur as part of the 
restimulation in connection with medical- or street-drug residues or as part of 
restim of an old illness, etc., any of which the person might run through while 
on this program. There are many cases on record of persons on the rundown 
turning on and blowing through periods of tiredness or fatigue connected with 
past illness and/or medical or drug experiences and coming through them far 
brighter and more energetic.

But it must be borne in mind that the Purification Rundown can be 
strenuous.

Trying to do it on too little sleep would be a severe violation. A person 
observably needs enough sleep in order to cope with the changes he is 
undergoing. Per C/S reports, where this has been violated the person has often 
wound up having a rough time of it. Quite apart from any mere tiredness, any 
reactions which are there to be restimulated by drug residuals can (due to 
insufficient sleep) produce unnecessary and nonoptimum reactions.

Adequate sleep while on the Purification Rundown has proven to be every 
bit as important as it is when one is on a routine auditing program and is part 
of a properly ordered personal schedule. One obviously can't expect to make the 
gains possible on the Purification Rundown unless this point is in.

And one must be okay medically to go onto the rundown in the first place.

SAUNA VENTILATION

Correct ventilation of the sauna is covered in HCOB 30 Dec. 79, HOW TO 
BUILD A SAUNA, and it is reiterated here as a must.

Improper sauna ventilation is reported as a contributive factor in a 
person tiring too quickly. It reportedly can bring on lassitude (weariness of 
body or mind from harsh climate), air hunger or any number of other symptoms 
which some persons have, in error, attributed to other causes. This has in some 
cases prolonged the rundown or given the appearance of the rundown being unflat 
when actually it was complete.

Those immediately responsible for delivering the Purification Rundown, as 
well as the executives of the org, are responsible for ensuring the sauna has 
been constructed and is being operated standardly with a sufficient oxygen 
supply for the number of persons using it. This also ties in with correctly 
staggering the scheduling of people for the sauna. One wouldn't jam too many 
people in the sauna at once, from the standpoint of ordinary comfort as well as
sufficient oxygen supply.



HCOB 21.5.80 - 7 - 



OVERHEATING AND SALT DEPLETION

An R-factor on the effects of overheating was found to be essential for a 
person beginning the rundown, as well as basic hatting on how to handle this on 
an emergency basis should it occur.

The symptoms of overheating and/or salt or potassium depletion-dizziness, 
feeling faint, weakness, clammy skin, becoming overheated, etc.-are taken up in 
HCOB 6 Feb. 78RB, Purif RD Series 1, THE PURIFICATION RUNDOWN REPLACES THE SWEAT 
PROGRAM.

Beginning persons would need hatting on these points so as not to confuse 
these symptoms with the manifestations that can turn on when restimulation in 
connection with drug residuals is occurring. It is common knowledge and a matter 
of good common sense that overheating and/or salt or potassium depletion can be 
prevented by sufficient salt, potassium or Bioplasma intake and by cooling off
periodically as necessary during the sauna period. But where these symptoms 
occurred, they would be handled and not considered something the person must "go 
through."

Additionally, if perspiration ceases while in the sauna-the body suddenly 
stops sweating and the skin becomes hot and dry-it's an indicator that needs 
immediate handling. This is a clamping down on the part of the body, a 
resistance to expelling, and it is the first sign of a heatstroke.

The Standard First Aid Personal Safety booklet put out by the American 
National Red Cross covers the symptoms of heat exhaustion/heatstroke and the 
immediate aid to be given for such.

One would get the person out of the sauna at once and cool him off with a 
cold or cool shower or sponging, or start with a lukewarm shower and gradually 
make it cooler. Fluids and salt, potassium or Bioplasma would be given.

This reference would be kept on hand, readily available, in the sauna 
location.

Hatting on all the above points would be included in the R-factor the 
person is given when he begins the rundown. Salt or potassium depletion as a 
chronic condition would be handled in liaison with the person's doctor.

NUTRITION

What showed up throughout the survey data was the importance of the daily 
nutritional vitamins, minerals, oil, Cal-Mag and vegetables and the role that 
these nutritional elements play in handling, on the Purification Rundown, the 
traumatic effects of the restimulation of drugs, as covered in some detail in 
the original bulletin.

In each area it was observed that dropping out any of these supplements 
while on the program, skimping on them or taking them only sporadically, 
contrary to the program as approved by the person's doctor, could create or 
intensify deficiencies which would then throw a curve into the rundown that 
would show up in any number of ways-tiring quickly, lack of energy, upset 
stomach, nausea, a general "not feeling good" or actually getting sick in some 
way, to name a few.



HCOB 21.5.80 - 8 - 



Any omissions of these standard elements were found to interfere with the 
progress and purpose of the rundown, which is to free up the individual for 
spiritual improvement by handling the restimulative effects of accumulated 
residual drugs and toxins.

With the increase in numbers of those doing the rundown, many more persons 
are now reported to have successfully completed it under close supervision on 
the nutritional vitamin and mineral increases, including niacin, within the 
ranges given in the original research data published in HCOB 14 Feb. 80R, Rev. 
31.7.85, Purif RD Series 4, RESEARCH DATA ON NUTRITIONAL VITAMIN INCREASES ON 
THE PURIFICATION RUNDOWN, with approval for such supplements from a medical doctor.

Many areas report it has also been helpful to have a good familiarity with 
the Adelle Davis books on nutrition and diet, as listed by title in HCOB 7 Mar. 
80, DIETS, COMMENTS UPON.

Where individual tolerances were taken into consideration under medical 
supervision and any vitamin imbalance or deficiency handled under medical 
supervision, as stipulated in the bulletins on the rundown, these ranges as 
published in the issues on the original research were reported to be highly 
workable for most.

In areas where the rundown has been successfully delivered, the person's 
originations regarding his tolerance for or reactions to certain vitamins were 
never ignored. These would always be looked into and a correct solution worked 
out in alignment with the data in the original bulletin, with the assistance of 
the Medical Liaison Officer in liaison with the doctor or between the individual 
and his doctor.

In reported cases where the person was having some difficulty and some 
nutrient imbalance was the actual cause of the upset, where the vitamins and 
minerals were properly adjusted as above there was invariably improvement. But 
it was necessary to first determine that the person actually was taking the
vitamins and other nutritional elements he was supposedly taking and in what 
amounts or if he was taking them only sporadically.

It is the responsibility of the person who has undertaken to do the 
rundown to keep those overseeing the rundown well informed as to his daily 
actions and the results. It is also his responsibility to see his doctor where 
any irregularity or upset indicates such. Naturally, it is also his option to 
see his doctor at any point he wishes on his progress on the rundown.

From all the reported data, it is not unusual at certain points of the 
rundown for some to protest a bit at the large quantities of vitamins taken. The 
protest is not in regard to results or benefits but simply in regard to the 
quantities to get down. While the niacin was always taken all at one time, in 
several areas it was found most viable to take the remainder of the vitamins at 
various intervals during the day, after meals or with snacks. One medical doctor 
has suggested that absorption of the needed nutrients is better accomplished in 
this way. The exception to this would be where one or more of the vitamins or 
minerals had been specifically suggested by the MD to be taken at certain set 
intervals.

Also reported was the datum that there is a hidden factor to look for if a 
person is having difficulty, and that is the person is not eating but is going 
along mainly on something like vitamins and niacin and yogurt alone. Or he
has made 



HCOB 21.5.80 - 9 - 



some other major change in his eating habits. This was found in one area and totally explained why the person was having trouble on the rundown.

Departures such as this were found quite often to come about as the result 
of exchange of verbal data among persons doing the rundown, so this line was 
watched to ensure the procedure was being followed as given, not someone else's 
version of it or some experimentation of it on his own.

SCHEDULE IRREGULARITIES

Probably the biggest single factor found in keeping the person progressing 
smoothly on through to successful completion of the program was regularity of 
the actions. That included regularity of the timed schedule, nutrition, sleep 
and the whole works.

Where any one part of the procedure was being done erratically, it would 
throw the other parts out or give that apparency, and the effect could sometimes 
be quite puzzling to the C/S or to the person's doctor and others assisting in 
the administration of the program.

Per C/S observation and other survey data, where people who had otherwise 
been doing well began skipping a day here or there, skimping or cutting down on 
the daily purification time or missing sleep, it usually resulted in upset of 
some degree.

They began to report "feeling bad" or feeling "sickish" or actually 
getting sick following some irregularity or disruption of the routine. Where 
this occurred, the discomfort or upset was more severe among those with heavier 
drug histories.

A possible explanation of this is that the process has been interrupted 
and one is getting a backlogging of the drug and other toxic effects rather than 
a routine release of these at the same rate as when the person was on schedule.

Therefore, the person could be subject to a piling up of the restimulative 
effects of these at a rate not easily handled by him, and this could be further 
compounded by any continuation of an erratic schedule.

The handling was to get the person onto or back onto a proper and 
predictable daily regimen and maintain it through to completion of the rundown.

What was stressed here was that in this, as well as all parts of the 
Purification Rundown, it is a matter of the person following the normal and 
generally accepted rules for good health. He would then be in the best possible
shape to attain the lasting spiritual benefits which are available to him. This 
is, of course, the sole and ultimate objective of the Purification Rundown.

DETERMINING AND HANDLING WHAT WAS WRONG

Here are some of the more successful actions reported from an area with 
high Purification Rundown completions.

Any bad indicators, odd or strange indicators, upset, etc., would be 
always picked up and handled at once.

If the person was in some heavy restimulation and just wanted to get 
through it without interruption, he was not forced or badgered but permitted to 
go through it easily and gradually at his own rate and he would then come out 
the other side all right. Per reports, most people know when they are in a drug 
restimulation and will tell you.



HCOB 21.5.80 - 10 -



In a case where the cause of upset wasn't immediately obvious, the Purif 
I/C or D of P would simply sit down with the person and talk it over to find out 
what was going on.

What worked very well was to have the individual himself read over all 
points of the rundown as contained in the issues and he himself would then very 
often spot and point out where he went off the rails. And in most cases he would 
prove to be right. It was very often found to be a matter of something having 
been altered or added or dropped out and this would be resolved by getting him 
back on the correct regimen and doing it by the book.

If it didn't appear to resolve, no guesswork or experimentation was done. 
The person would be sent to his doctor for a medical check and any necessary 
adjustment of his regimen.

---------- 

In summary, it has been found that there are any number of ways in which 
one can depart from the correct procedure and the effects of one such departure 
can be similar to or appear to be similar to those of another, which can make 
some cases look complicated indeed, and unnecessarily so. So it has also been 
found that it is vital to indoctrinate the person on the standard actions of the 
rundown at the outset and then do everything possible to preserve that 
standardness throughout.

6. ON THE PURIFICATION RUNDOWN, HAS IT BEEN FOUND THAT THE "ALL BLEND" OIL 
MUST BE TAKEN "STRAIGHT" OR CAN IT BE MIXED WITH SOME OTHER FOOD?

Per survey data, some individuals had reported difficulty taking the "All 
Blend" oil by itself, usually due more to the texture than to the actual taste.

The handling, as there seemed to be no reason why the oil could not be 
taken in orange juice or mixed with some other food of the person's choice and 
taken that way, was to have many people on the rundown do just that, with good 
result. Others simply took the oil straight. (An exception, in taking the oil 
mixed with other food, is that you would not cook food in the oil and consider 
that the "All Blend" oil ration for the day!)

As the oil will coat the stomach and intestinal walls for a certain 
period, which can prevent the full assimilation of other nutrients, especially 
the water soluble vitamins, one doctor has suggested that it is probably best 
taken before going to bed or at least at a different mealtime than when the 
vitamins and minerals are taken.

Regarding the amount of oil to be taken, this did vary with the 
individual.

However, a medical doctor who is also a Scientology auditor and 
Purification Rundown C/S and who has handled numerous people on the rundown has 
reported that the most standard oil dosage found to be required thus far by most 
persons he has handled on the rundown is between 2 and 4 tablespoonfuls a day. 
Others (particularly some 250-pounders he has on the rundown) are on 
considerably more oil than this.

The recommendation of this medical doctor is that on any oil dosage one 
would reduce the intake if the oil showed up in a bowel movement or in the body 
sweat, as in such case there is an excess of oil which is not being put to use 
but simply expelled.



HCOB 21.5.80 - 11 - 



7. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY REPORTS OF A DIFFERENCE IN RESULTS WHEN NIACIN IS 
TAKEN IN POWDER FORM INSTEAD OF IN TABLET FORM?

Per reports thus far, this seems to vary among different individuals.

The observation of one medical doctor supervising the rundown is that 
these variances are not unusual.

Some persons have reported more immediate and/or intense results when 
niacin was taken in powder form. This difference was most often reported by 
persons who had reached the higher dosages, had little or no results from a 
large, highly compressed tablet and then switched to the same dosage in powder 
form and got more intense results.

However, at least two people report that they got results when taking 100, 
200, 300 and 400 mg of niacin in tablets of 100 mg each; then, when 500 mg were 
taken in a single 500 mg tablet, nothing occurred. However, next day, when 500 
mg were taken in 5 tablets of 100 mg each, results were obtained at the 500 mg 
dosage.

Still others reported effective results from niacin tablets of any dosage, 
including the larger tablets of higher dosage.

What has been done in one area is to use tablets of 100 mg niacin each 
until the 1000 mg niacin dosage is reached and to use niacin in powder form 
thereafter. Where this is done, or where niacin in powder form is used 
exclusively, the measurement was and would need to be exactly done.

The label on a powdered niacin container should carry instructions as to 
how to measure the powder content. With the brands that have been used, one 
teaspoon provides 3000 mg of pure niacin. Note that this is per the English 
system of weights and measures. One would need to use the standard measuring 
teaspoon. In areas of the world where the metric system is used (and where 
"teaspoon" sizes vary), an amount equivalent to a standard teaspoon measurement 
would be 4.9 ml.

8. WHAT HAS BEEN OBSERVED TO BE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL GRADIENT GENERALLY IN 
INCREASING NIACIN ON THE RUNDOWN?

Within the boundaries of the medical doctor's advice for the individual, 
the most workable gradient in the majority of cases observed was generally found 
to be starting the person on 100 mg of niacin and increasing it in increments of 
100 mg until the person was up to 1000 mg daily. A steeper gradient was then 
used as one went up to higher dosages. It was found that many persons could take 
increases of from 300 to 500 mg at one time when they reached the higher dosage 
ranges. Note that this does not refer to a daily increase, necessarily, but 
refers to the gradient in which the dosage was upped when an increased dosage 
was indicated.

Any increase was always based on individual tolerance, and there were 
exceptions to the "generally successful gradient" described above in every area 
surveyed. Certain individuals would and did require moving up on a lesser 
gradient according to their tolerances and according to individual medical 
advices.



HCOB 21.5.80 - 12 - 



On the other hand, in some instances a "grinding" phenomenon was observed 
where the individual:

a. held to a certain niacin dosage of, say, 500 mg day after day until 
nothing whatsoever was happening

or

b. held to an increase of only 100 mg at a time in the higher ranges of 
niacin, even though he was getting only brief, mild results, was very 
able to tolerate these effects and felt he could handle a steeper 
gradient.

By "grinding" phenomenon is meant an effect similar to running an engram 
late on the chain over and over without going earlier and the person getting 
irritated and frustrated with the rundown and feeling he is not making the 
progress he could be making.

In these instances, it was observed that when the persons who could 
progress at a faster rate with larger niacin increases (always with the other 
vitamins and minerals increased in correct ratio and by individual tolerance) 
did so, they went smoothly along on the rundown, handling what did crop up.

In all surveyed areas, when to introduce an increase in niacin was found 
to be as important as the amount of increase.

When niacin was increased:

a. after the effect of a certain dosage had diminished (not vanished 
totally) and

b. when any other manifestations and restimulation which had turned on at 
that dosage had blown or diminished (as covered in the procedure given 
in the original bulletin), 

good progress was made on the rundown on a one-for-one basis, providing all 
other points were standardly in.

In other words, it was recognized that there would very likely be various 
reactions and restimulations (as covered in the original bulletin) all of which 
would need to be taken into consideration when niacin amounts were increased.

When this was done correctly, excellent results were obtained. Questions arising on such increase were handled according to the person's individual medical approval to do the rundown and further individual medical advices as needed.

It should be mentioned here that, along with this survey data, reports 
have been received of persons found taking niacin quietly on their own without 
being on the Purification Rundown and without being under any supervision, 
medical or otherwise, just to see what it would handle. This is not advised in 
any HCOB. It could result in artificially created deficiencies or in things 
turning on which are not then properly run out. Also, where a pc being audited 
was at the same time experimenting on his own with niacin dosages, it could 
present some puzzling aspects of the case to the Case Supervisor and could throw 
a curve into the C/Sing or programing.



HCOB 21.5.80 - 13 - 



The Purification Rundown has been carefully researched and piloted. It is 
concerned with freeing up the individual for future spiritual improvement. As 
such it is a programed action carried out daily under C/S supervision and with 
medical approval for the individual to be on the rundown and medical advices 
given as required. There is no issue which advises or advocates a person 
experimenting with it on his own.

9. HAS ANYONE COMPLETED THE RUNDOWN TO FULL END PHENOMENA BEFORE REACHING 
5000 MG OF NIACIN?

Per the original research and all reported survey data, there are a number 
of people who have completed the rundown to full end phenomena on dosages under 
5000 mg of niacin. Others have gone as high as that dosage before completing.

Apparently, in some areas there was, earlier on, some misinterpretation of 
the Purification Rundown HCOBs to the effect that one would be required to work 
up to a point where a 5000 mg niacin dosage produced no effect in order to 
achieve the EP- which is not the case. There is no statement in any HCOB to this 
effect.

The end phenomena is reached when the individual is free of the 
restimulative presence of residuals of past drugs and other toxic substances. He 
will no longer be feeling the effects of these impurities going into 
restimulation and there is a marked resurgence of overall spiritual well-being.

The fact of having a heavy drug history does not necessarily prolong the 
rundown. It can do so but it is not true in all cases. More important than 
anything else is keeping all points of the rundown in standardly, maintaining a 
well balanced personal schedule with enough rest and nutrients, and getting as 
much exercise and sauna as possible on a routine daily basis.

On such a schedule, persons of varying drug histories - some heavy, some 
light - have completed the rundown in 18 to 20 days at 5 hours a day, reaching 
the EP at amounts of niacin which differed with different individuals. Some have 
done so in less time.

From reports based on direct observation, apparently what can happen in 
some cases (not all) is that the residuals of past drugs and other chemicals 
(sometimes every drug or medicine the person has taken) can restimulate and turn 
on heavily in the first week or 10 days of the rundown at lower dosages of, say, 
up to 1000 mg niacin. It doesn't always happen in an orderly fashion and it can 
be severe, but the person will handle these drug residuals, blow through any 
accompanying manifestations, and after that it can go totally flat with no 
effects showing up on the higher amounts of niacin.

Others will turn on these effects in a more graduated sequence, one 
following the other, and it can take longer.

From the original research and piloting of the rundown, and from the 
reports of those currently delivering it and the personal reports from those who 
have completed or are on it, one can expect any variety of manifestations to 
crop up, not all of them comfortable by any means.

Where the person was on a sensible and well-kept schedule, with all other 
parts of the rundown fully in, these manifestations would deintensify and blow 
without undue discomfort or hang-up. As the toxic substances became active, he 
would experience their restimulative effects and come through these periods with 
nice wins. One would then see a gradual brightening of the person as he 
progressed.



HCOB 21.5.80 - 14 - 



Reported also was the fact that sometimes, especially on the lower niacin 
dosages, one could get a person coming through some drug experience with such a 
sense of relief and release and such a big win that he would report he had 
completed when he actually had more to do. Or a person would have an auditing 
type cognition or a whole string of such cognitions and mistake that for the EP. 
These, of course, are excellent wins but not necessarily the end phenomena. Big 
wins can be expected during the course of the rundown, but in cases where the 
person was discontinued on the strength of such a win before all the toxic 
residuals had been handled, the person would come up with more to be done and 
would have to be returned to the rundown to complete it. One must be able to 
recognize the difference between a good win and the actual EP.

In all those areas surveyed, where a person was progressing well on the 
program he could be observed to be becoming more uptone and aware. He would 
start reporting exactly what was going on, what drug was turning on, what 
impurities and restimulations he was running out. He could usually tell if he 
had hit a tolerance level on a certain vitamin. All of these are valid reactions 
throughout the run. As the person would release and blow through whatever was 
there to turn on, the manifestations became less day by day, and he would reach 
a point where no further manifestations were coming up. He would look and feel 
remarkably better, brighter and more alert; he would have come through good wins 
and he would often know and state that he felt free of impurities and their 
associated restimulative effects and originate on his own that he had done it. 
With all those indicators one could be pretty sure he had done it.

The amount of vitamin and mineral nutrients, exercise and sweat-out it has 
taken and will take to accomplish this on the Purification Rundown is an 
individual matter.

There is no hard-and-fast rule laid down anywhere that says a person must 
work up to 5000 mg niacin before he is complete.

10. WHAT IS THE "WIND DOWN" THAT FOLLOWS PURIFICATION RUNDOWN COMPLETION?

There is no such thing, unless one would give that term to the action of 
coming down off heavy vitamin and other nutrient dosages on a steep gradient, 
rather than abruptly, following Purification Rundown completion, as suggested in 
the original bulletin (HCOB 6 Feb. 78RB).

In one area it was found that this section of the bulletin was being 
misinterpreted to mean one gradiently did less of all the elements of the 
Purification Rundown-i.e., less sauna, less exercise, less vitamins, etc., each 
day-and this was being called a "wind down." This is not stated in any of the 
HCOBs and is not a valid action.

The suggestion that is made is that one doesn't abruptly simply cease the 
extra nutrients he has been taking but comes down from high dosages on a steep 
gradient to what would be a moderate daily normal requirement for him, per 
medical advices. And that along with this some moderate daily exercise will help 
him maintain good health.

Continuing all the elements of the Purification Rundown would amount to 
continuing the rundown itself past the point of valid completion and, further, 
would delay the person getting 



HCOB 21.5.80 - 15 - 



onto the auditing he is programed for as his next step.

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON END PHENOMENA AND NIACIN

Certain additional questions have arisen regarding the end phenomena of 
the rundown in relation to niacin which should be taken up here so that the data 
is broadly known.

The first of these is:

11. CAN THE RUNDOWN BE CONSIDERED FLAT IF THE PERSON SEEMS TO HAVE REACHED THE 
EP AND IS GETTING NO MORE MANIFESTATIONS TURNING ON OR NO OTHER CHANGE 
OCCURRING BUT STILL GETS A SLIGHT RESULT FROM 5000 MG NIACIN?

The person could very well be complete, but there are several factors to be looked at regarding this point.

The person could be hung up on some outness in the early stages of the 
rundown which would show up on a full review of his Purification Rundown 
history. One could do a full inspection of his folder, particularly in the area 
of minerals and vitamins, what effect they had, were these dosages standard and 
kept in the proper balance, was the rundown administered standardly and done 
regularly. The person could be interviewed as well, and you might find some 
outness such as he doesn't like vegetables, he never eats vegetables, etc., etc. 
So parts of the rundown could have been violated and this could be showing up in 
the manifestation described above. It may be that he has some deficiency which 
has been bypassed and thus some sort of hang-up was created. There is the 
possibility that if the rundown hasn't been done properly throughout, one could 
get such a hang-up. And with that there's a possibility of some deficiency 
alongside it which won't allow a complete discharge. A medical check would be 
done if the folder shows irregularities to determine if this is the case and, if 
so, to get it remedied. Getting any such deficiency remedied and getting all 
points of the rundown in standardly would bring it to successful completion in a 
case where such outnesses have existed.

There is also the possibility that the person simply has more to do on the 
rundown.

And there is the possibility, and this may be by far the most common, that 
the person has reached the EP and is in overrun.

If he has done the rundown standardly and has reached the end phenomena as 
described earlier in this bulletin and in HCOB 6 Feb. 78RB, the chances are he 
is complete on the rundown despite the fact he is still getting some slight 
result from 5000 mg of niacin.

It is possible to overrun the Purification Rundown if one is not well 
aware of what is to be looked for in the end phenomena. There have been cases of 
overrun where the person was continued for some weeks at 5000 mg (5 grams) of 
niacin with nothing more turning on than a slight effect. And there have been 
cases of overrun that occurred at less than 5000 mg of niacin.

The possibility exists here that if the point of completion of the rundown 
is reached and bypassed the person could begin to dramatize a niacin flush. It 
would be like any other bypassed condition, such as a bypassed F/N. The 
condition tends to hang 



HCOB 21.5.1980 - 16 -



up because it is not acknowledged or signalized to have ended. This is simply an 
educated guess as to how this could occur, but it is also borne out by careful 
study of several cases on record where bypass of the EP and overrun did take 
place.

After the person has been on the regimen for some time, has come through 
good changes and is handing you the indicators of the EP, carrying him on the 
rundown for 6 or 7 days with no further effects at any dosage is really an 
overrun. In some of these cases it appears that 5000 mg niacin isn't doing 
anything that 3500 mg of niacin didn't do.

To repeat, the end phenomena can and has been reached on 5000 mg of niacin 
and on dosages of lower than 5000 mg. Once the drug and chemical residuals are 
handled, they're handled. The person will feel the difference.

Upping the dosage does not necessarily find more to be handled. And 
continuing the person past the EP can hang the whole thing up and produce a 
slight effect as a dramatization, either sporadically or each time the niacin is 
taken.

This can then become confusing to the person himself and to the C/S. If 
the overrun is continued, you'll see the person begin to go downtone, even if 
only slightly. His indicators become a bit less bright, he may become 
disheartened. He may now be efforting to produce some result that isn't there to 
be had and begin to feel the action is interminable. Certainly the person will 
appear less enthusiastic about the whole procedure and may begin to protest it. 
The picture now looks as if the rundown is unflat whereas what has happened is 
that he achieved the EP, reached a point where he felt great, was getting no 
further manifestation of any kind (if even for only a day) and the fact was not 
acknowledged but bypassed. Overrun phenomena then sets in.

C/Ses report there have been a few cases who "rabbited" (wanted to run 
away from continuing the rundown to its EP because it was uncomfortable or out 
of other considerations) and insisted they were complete after a very few days 
at low niacin dosage when little or nothing had yet turned on. But these cases 
were few and easily detected and handled by bringing them to a better 
understanding of the rundown and its purpose and what it does. In two such cases 
where the persons were allowed to attest after too brief and skimpy a run, they 
both went into drug restimulation which should and would have been handled 
routinely on the rundown. After full review of these cases, with medical 
participation, they were put back on the rundown and completed it properly.

Judging from reports, including the many personal reports received, by far 
the majority are eager beavers who can't wait to turn on something on the 
rundown and blow through it. They report drugs, medicines, anesthetics, alcohol, 
restimulation of various biochemical reactions, somatics or other manifestations 
turning on and blowing, and they report them all enthusiastically and with great 
relief and look for more! Such cases will often know and tell you when they've 
honestly reached the EP.

One C/S also reported he had had cases on his lines where the person from 
all indications was complete and stated he was complete but wanted to continue a 
bit longer "just to make sure." Allowed to go on, these cases promptly got into 
overrun phenomena, went downtone and were getting no change. In each case, when 
all was checked out, it was found the EP had been reached at the point the 
person stated he was complete. So it appears that on the Purification Rundown, 
just as in other rundowns, it doesn't do to continue past a valid EP. Should it 
happen, it is handled simply by having the person spot when he did complete and 
acknowledging it.



HCOB 21.5.80 - 17 -



What also showed up in the survey data was the rare bird who would try to 
handle his whole case on the rundown and who looked for some result above and 
beyond the EP of this rundown. Such a case would need to be given a very 
thorough R-factor on the rundown and be carefully C/Sed, with medical liaison as 
necessary, throughout.

It was found important to make real the fact that all that is being looked 
for here is the person free of the restimulative effects of past drug and toxic 
residuals so that the person can then be audited with optimum gain and spiritual 
enlightenment.

It is up to the Case Supervisor to know each case, to be familiar with the 
progress of each case, to keep the medical liaison lines in, and to know well 
the indicators to expect when the end phenomena has been reached so that it can 
be acknowledged and validated.

Another question that has come up with some frequency is:

12. WHAT COULD ACCOUNT FOR A PERSON WHO HAS GENUINELY COMPLETED THE RUNDOWN 
WITH NO NIACIN REACTION AT 5000 MG (OR LESS) THEN GETTING A REACTION LATER 
AT LOWER NIACIN DOSAGES?

Such a reaction, where the person has actually done the rundown standardly 
to its end phenomena, does not mean the rundown is unflat.

To understand this reaction one needs a good understanding of the bank and 
how it works. The specifics of what has happened in these instances can be quite 
variable, but what you are looking at here in general is that there has been an 
environmental shift or change which produced another type of bank key-in.

To begin with, we are living in a two-pole, a two-terminal universe. (Ref: HCOB 8 June 63R, Rev. 3.10.77, THE TIME TRACK AND ENGRAM RUNNING BY CHAINS, BULLETIN 2: HANDLING THE TIME TRACK) It takes a two-terminal situation to hang something up. 

On the Purification Rundown we are looking at two things: one, the actual 
drugs and toxic residuals in the body (and medical autopsies have shown that 
they are there) and two, the bank mock-up or facsimile of the drugs, drug 
residuals and their effects.

These two conditions are hung up - one of them playing against the other, 
in perfect balance. What the person is feeling is the two conditions, one of 
them the actual presence of the drug residuals, the other the bank mock-up of 
them. The thetan can actually, via his bank, mock up a perfect synthesis or a 
counterfeit of drugs. So you are getting two reactions here, one of them a total 
counterfeit but no less real to the person, nevertheless. The counterfeit is 
just bank restimulating and, oddly enough, the bank can approximate practically 
every drug there is under the sun. The bank can also approximate the effects of 
radiation and it will look just exactly like a physiologically caused effect.

I don't think the bank can necessarily key in a physiological reaction 
where an actual physical basis for such has not existed somewhere on the 
person's track. It can deform or change positions or rates of metabolism. It can 
change endocrine conditions and therefore can change various bodily conditions. 
And it is true that a thetan can mock up a facsimile strongly enough so that it hurts.

Probably the reason why the Purification Rundown works is that it handles 
the one side of it and thus fixes the person up so that the other side, the bank 
facsimile side of it, is no longer restimulative or in constant restimulation. 
It's as simple as that.

What, amongst other things, is happening on the Purification Rundown is 
that you cause an upset of this perfect balance and suddenly this balance goes 
b-z-z-z-t! The balance isn't there anymore so you don't get the cross-reaction 
anymore.

But it takes auditing to totally erase the bank. In other words, while the 
balance has been upset, all of the bank facsimiles are not gone. They're not 
keying in and they're not being reinforced by the presence of drug residuals but 
they're not necessarily blown.

A thetan can mock up anything. Thus, as the person is coming down off the 
rundown on gradient niacin and other vitamin dosages, he can hit an area where 
some factor in the environment can cause the facsimile to go into restimulation 
again. You can get a bank reaction which, so far as anyone could tell, would be 
absolutely identical to what the physiological reaction would be.

It doesn't mean there are still accumulated residuals. It is that the bank 
or facsimile side of this two-terminal hang-up isn't necessarily flat. It was 
flat for that period of time. Now the person drops back, moves into another 
environment, another period of time, probably goes out in the sun and gets 
himself a nice sunburn or something of this sort, and his bank cross-reacts.

That is the basic theory behind this type of manifestation.

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.

The Purification Rundown has as its sole purpose the handling of the 
restimulative effects of drugs and toxic residuals on a spiritual being. 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. The Church is not responsible for the handling of any 
bodily or physical condition or ill, it being the responsibility of the 
individual to seek the competent medical advice and treatment of his doctor in 
such matters.
