This was an observable phenomenon—dramatically so!
In the face of this discovery, was it then also possible that residues of other drugs could lock up in the system and at some point reactivate with similar, if less dramatic, effect?
And if so, how did one then ever fully free people from the effects of drugs? Were they simply doomed thereafter to be at the effect of drugs whenever these residues chanced to reactivate?
What of the other debilitating effects of the presence of these drug residues? It was known that drugs burn up vitamin reserves. What other physical consequences might stem from the hidden presence of such drug deposits?
One could not ignore the possibility that, even when “dormant” —if that expression can indeed ever be used for a toxic substance—they might be highly damaging to the organism.
And what of the potential spiritual and mental growth of individuals so affected? For it was also an observable fact that one was faced with some unchanging characteristics in a certain number of these cases, even when much of the mental and spiritual trauma of drug experiences had apparently been relieved. Among these characteristics was a “woodenness” of personality and a noticeable difficulty in the ability to absorb and comprehend or retain and apply new data—in other words, an impaired ability to learn or change.
What was the answer to these cases?
No known method existed for ridding the body of these minute drug deposits which, locked as they were in the tissues, were not totally dispelled in the normal processes of elimination.
Operating on the premise that the negative factors observed might be reversed if there were a means of getting LSD deposits out of the system, and that the most logical method to accomplish this would be to sweat them out, I worked out and released in 1977 a regimen called “The Sweat Program.” Utilized mainly by those who had been heavily into drugs, particularly LSD, the procedure produced positive results. With it, evidences of the release of residues of other types of street drugs began to appear.
The regimen was a lengthy process, however, taking months to complete. A refinement and speed-up was needed.
