Guess What Katie Holmes Is Doing Today?

Posted by Sassy Smith at 10:00 AM on January 12, 2009

Katie Holmes finished her broadway show All My Sons on January 11 and guess what the celebrity mum has planned after that?

A detox! Specifically, a Scientology detox. I envision white lights, probes and aliens, but apparently it’s not that weird.

Scientology centers in California and New York offer a’bizarre herbal’ detox plan and according to a source, “The Clear Body, Clear Mind plan utilizes a regime of exercise, sauna sweat-out, vitamins and minerals to cleanse bodies of toxins.”

Sounds normal.

The insider adds, “Katie is tired from balancing motherhood with her six-nights-a-week show and wants to get back into shape.

“The plan involves doses of the vitamin niacin to purify the body.”

I say she and Suri should take a mini vacation – that sounds like way more fun than sweating in a sauna and drinking some odd drink. Just sayin.’

But hey, if Scientology can cure Tom Cruise of dyslexia then I suppose it can cleanse Katie.

    You should make it clear that not only is this detox “bizarre”, the niacin doses are reportedly quite dangerous to the body. Participants are supposed to run for 20-30 mins and then spend 4-4.5 hours in the sauna sweating out toxins. There have also been reports of people who wanted to get out of the sauna before time was up, being made to stay in against their will. The documentation for the “Purification Rundown” as it is called in Scientology claims that saunas should be taken with a partner in case the toxins in the body are “restimulated” meaning if is LSD, you can have another trip because of the residual toxins in the body causing hallucinations and such. I think most people enduring four hours in the sauna would have hallucinations regardless of their drug history.

    I’m not a scientologist, but I have a friend who is and she’s perfectly normal! She does normal things just like everyone else! I swear! Also, I’m not a scientologist!

  • Actually the fake “detox” fraud that Scientology commits on their victims is what Scientology calls their “Purification Rundown” which they also call “NarCONon,” “Second Chance,” and no end of other fake names and fronts to try to hide the fact that it’s an insane Scientology fraud that doesn’t work.

    You say “but apparently it’s not that weird.”
    Well I think it is wierd that someone would allow people who are NOT doctors treat them for ANTHING. Their “detox” program is very dangerous. It is not approved by the FDA or any other REAL doctors and is potentially dangeous due to the high doses of niacin which can have harmful effects on the liver. This is the IDENTICAL program used in Scientology’s Narconon which is one of MANY of their front groups. It is actually called the Purification Rundown. It is NOT to be taken lighlty. Many Narconon centers have been closed down. Most recently in New Mexico. They were working with prison inmates which was called Second Chance. Yet ANOTHER scientology front group. Narconon is also be sued by France for issuing vitamins without a liscence. The Purification Rundown boasts succes rates that are HIGHLY inflated and untrue. It has been figured out that their success rate percenatge was the same as if a drug addict was to do NOTHING for treatment.

    Many states give funding to have these programs placed in their states. SHAME. Scientology is HUGE on deception.
    I was relly hoping that Katie would not go through with this. It does not work. I don’t care how many people will come on here and say that it worked, they are Scientologists and they are not being truthful. Celebrities don’t even realize they are getting the same EXACT treatment as drug addicts and criminals. But for the celebrities they give it a nice name like “The Clear Body, Clear Mind Program”. What a bunch of bunk.
    I wish Katie a safe exit out of the cult….. and I do mean CULT.
