		<description>I actually did a program about nine years ago.  And to give you some data on where I was at at the time, I was 32, had been using for over 20 years, I had been in residential treatment centers for one to six months and had graduated all five times.  In spite of this, I had a meth lab in a bong factory (yes, really).  I drank like a fish and was constantly suicidal. 

Anyway, after a ten day withdraw (I was on a lot of stuff), plus about a week of orientation courses designed to bring me up to present time, I started the Purif.  It was a low heat sauna (about 140 degrees whereas you'll find some saunas going up to 190 - shyeah right).  I had to take a dose of Niacin before some light exercise, then we hit "the box."  I did the sauna in 20 minute intervals, making sure to cool all the way down between sessions (it was all supervised).  I did 20 minute intervals with a jump in the pool or a cold shower in between, for a total of five hours a day.  We basically sweated this entire time.  We drank at least a gallon of water while in the sauna, plus whatever we drank outside.  We loaded up on a very specific regimen of vitamins, minerals, cell salts, potassium and sodium, and we were given veggie trays with plenty of fresh raw vegetables, with some dip for incentive, in order to help replenish our bodies vitamins and nutrients we were sweating out (sweat carries with it the bad, but also the good stuff).  We had to take fatty acids and oils to replenish those.  I did this for 28 consecutive days.  By the end, I was actually a completely different person.  I wasn't nearly as depressed as I had been, I took an adult IQ test they had given me just prior to me starting the sauna program, and it had gone from 121, to 154 in just four weeks.  I could tell of course -  I was thinking extremely clearly.  One benefit I realized I was experiencing later was the complete absence of physical cravings for drugs.  They were gone.  It literally changed my life.

I noticed that someone wrote that toxins from drugs can stay in your system for up to six months.  That's not entirely true from what I've read.  Once I completed the sauna I wanted to get some objective data on the body's tendency to store things in fat, and I discovered a phenomenon known as bio-lipid storage.  In fact, everywhere your blood goes, whatever is in your blood goes.  And toxins don't store in organs or veins, they store in fat.  And, unless you recirculate the fat that's in your body all the time, which hardly anyone does, toxins can remain lodged in fat for years.  Basically your fat stays right where it is, along with all the crap thats stored in it until you get rid of it.

Having said that, doing that sauna was the best thing that's ever happened to me.  I did it again last year and I won't even go into what an amazing experience it was.  Hubbard wrote a book called Clear Body Clear Mind in which he explains the entire process. It's secular and in my own experience, very, very effective.  

One piece of advice I'd give though is to not do a program that you make up on your own.  Overheating, lack of proper nutrition, etc, are very real issues if you're sweating at that level, so use the book, or some medically supervised regimen.  Also, I'd recommend doing it with at least one other person.  I was in with about four others and not only was it not boring, but it was a lot safer.</description>

		<description>Yes!  The idea is that the toxins are stored in the fat, just under the skin...so that when you sweat, the emotional / physical / energetic junk can leave your body easily.  We threw around the idea of getting a portable sauna today.   Anyone heard of this?</description>
