MEDIA WATCH | DELISH.COM

If you write about Scientology, read Scientology.org first

Your attempts to describe it as some other food intake fad, while denigrating the Scientology religion, serves as yet another example of why today’s media outlets have garnered such a bad name.

Dear Ms. Weinberg:

Your article of last week gives your readership a completely tainted and false impression of the Purification Rundown, which, in Scientology, is an entirely spiritual address to toxins lodged in cells of the body. Its purpose is simply to free the individual from the harmful effects of toxic substances.

Your attempts to describe it as some other food intake fad, while denigrating the Scientology religion, serves as yet another example of why today’s media outlets have garnered such a bad name.

You correctly reference the book Clear Body, Clear Mind. This contains the actual Purification Rundown information—the tables that delineate the proportionate vitamin intake, the function vitamin B₃ (niacin) performs, what oils do for the body, and how mineral intake plays its part. Further, this book presents the successes that participants in the program have achieved through application of this exact procedure.

It is a valuable program praised by all who have actually experienced it for themselves. Why not at least present its facts instead of twisted and false information?

Please correct your article. And if in the future you write anything about Scientology, I suggest you visit the scientology.org website or contact the Church public affairs people. They are always available to assist. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Megan Rudeen
