Disguised Chemical Warfare
Present in U.S.
As U.S. and Coalition forces
continue their assault on Saddam Hussein’s regime,
signs of chemical weapons have appeared, including Iraqi
soldiers’ possession of gas masks during combat. A
scare two days ago had several members of the coalition had
symptoms similar to a chemical attack such as vomiting and
fatigue, though thankfully it turned out to be heat
exhaustion. Traces of chemical agents found in barrels and
rockets were also suspected to be signs of possible warfare
agents, though no solid proof was found that chemical weapons
were being used.
Militant and terrorist forces
have waged a different kind of chemical warfare on the United
States for decades. It has recently been promoted and is no
longer a secret that the heroin trade into the United States
is a primary source of funding for terrorist groups coming
from the Middle East. This toxic substance has very similar
effects to that of a sarin or mustard gas, causing impaired
senses, extreme sickness and death. In fact, withdrawal from
heroin addiction is one of the most severe of any drug,
leading many to overdose and other deaths in fear of the
pain, sleeplessness, vomiting and diarrhea caused by the
drug’s sudden absence in the body.
Unfortunately, heroin use is the
highest it’s ever been in the U.S., topping the
1970’s when it was a popular drug. There are more than
600,000 approximate heroin users in the nation, with an
increasing percentage of young people becoming first-time
users. Overall, there are 2.9 million people in the United
States that have used heroin, surging the treatment
admissions for the toxic substance steadily through the
90’s.
Overdose on the drug is like a
chemical weapon attack in that the individual cannot breathe,
feels nauseated and vomits. The latest information from the
National Household Survey on Drug Abuse shows that there were
over 70,000 emergency room visits due to heroin use and that
deaths from heroin were more than those from automobile
accidents. Though the symptoms from withdrawal and overdose
are horrible, most heroin users end up using again after
going through such pain and misery, much to the bewilderment
of their friends and family.
What these people don’t
realize, and what American author and humanitarian L. Ron
Hubbard discovered, is that all toxins leave residues that
are stored in the fatty tissue of the body. For heroin and
other physically addictive substances, these residues cause
intense drug cravings when released back into the bloodstream
and are often too strong to overcome without effective
rehabilitation. Hubbard’s research in the field of drug
rehabilitation culminated with the development of a sauna
detoxification program. This unique program allows the
individual to release the old residues that cause physical
drug cravings and eventual relapse and rid them from the
body, thus overcoming a huge step in permanently getting off
drugs.
The Hubbard detoxification
program is written in the book Clear Body, Clear Mind
and is also a part of the Narconon® drug rehabilitation
and education program. This program achieves an extremely
high success rate for permanent recovery from
addiction.
