Press Release Summary = If I am detoxified, why is my anxiety, my depression and my
craving for drugs worst than before I ever used drugs? What cause these drug side
effects to go on long after I stopped using? And how do I get rid of them?

Press Release Body = Vancouver, British Columbia - December 11, 2005 - Any drug user
who tried to kick the habit will tell you about the intense anxiety, depression and
cravings that they felt for weeks, months and even years after they stopped using
drugs. The intensity varies between individuals, but all will agree that it's worst
than prior using drugs. So why do we still feel the harm of drugs if we've been
detoxified? And how do we get rid of these drug side effects?

Detox is defined as "keeping someone away from drugs for a while until the drugs are
out of his system." If it is true that keeping away from drugs is enough to detoxify
me from drugs, then what cause the side effects to go on after the detoxification?

Tibor Palatinus, from Narconon has provided some answers: "Detox should end the
physical cravings for drugs and alcohol. Incomplete detox leaves a person with
involuntary drug cravings and other drug side effects. The truth is: Detox is rarely
if ever properly done!"

"The problem is that drug residuals get stuck in the fat surrounding your blood
vessels and in other tissues in your body. Since they are no longer in your blood,
everyone thinks that you are now detoxified from drugs.but the truth is that you
still have drugs stuck within your body."

"Then, sometimes, some of the drug stuck in the fat makes its way back to the blood
and then flows up to the brain. The brain feels a little the effect of the drug and
wants more of it. It basically acts as an appetizer"

"It would be like trying to quit smoking while continuing to smoke 1 or 2 cigarettes
per day. This can happen any time the person's body burns fat for energy.

"Normal life situations like stress, exercise or anger can dislodge drugs within the
fatty tissues into the bloodstream, where they flow to the brain and cause drug
cravings."

Narconon, has a special detox that uses a combination of exercise, vitamins and
sauna where a drug user can thoroughly detoxify. In fact, a student at Narconon is
required to continue his detoxification until the following has been achieved:

-Reduction or elimination of drug and alcohol cravings.
-Reduction or elimination of many alcohol drug side effects. These can include
depression, irritability, and fatigue.
-Ability to think more clearly.
-Improved memory and attention span.
-Increased energy.
-Increased sense of well being.
-Enthusiasm toward Life

This detoxification takes between 3 to 6 weeks. After the detox, students go on to
the next step to handle their mental addiction.
