| October 8, 1981 | Dr. David Hogg of Toronto Writes a Critical Analysis of the Purification Rundown | In summary, Hubbard is a very ignorant man. He consistently demonstrates a complete and at times dangerous lack of knowledge concerning biochemistry, physics, and medicine. His theories are based on fallacies and lies; there is no scientific data to support any of them. Furthermore, his program not only fails to deliver what it promises, but may actually be detrimental to the health of those taking it. As such, it cannot be recommended that anyone take this program. |
