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

To: Narconon
I am pleased to convey my sincere congratulations to all those associated with your outstanding organization as you celebrate 25 years of providing drug prevention and rehabilitation services to those who need them.
The scourge of drugs remains one of the most difficult and vital challenges that our society has yet to overcome. Far too many people have been tragically affected with substance addiction, many in the prime of their lives. This cycle of hopelessness must not continue, and only through the determined efforts of individuals and organizations such as your can we prevail in this struggle.
For the past 25 years, you have been actively involved in helping to prevent drug abuse, and counseling and educating those individuals who have fallen prey to the allure of illicit drugs. Since your founding in 1966, you have expanded to included 24 Narconon Centers in 12 countries worldwide, strong evidence that your programs and methods have proven to be effective.
As your international headquarters are located here in California, it is most appropriate that you have chosen to celebrate your 25th anniversary in the Golden State. Please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable and memorable silver anniversary celebration and every future success.
Sincerely,
Pete Wilson
