Ortega Underground [APR.01.13]
Former Narconon employee Eric Tenorio has turned over to the
Underground Bunker a remarkable e-mail written by a Narconon
International legal affairs officer who admits that “we do not have
scientific evidence of” the 70 percent and higher rates of success that
the rehab programs advertise.

| Eric Tenorio - whistle blower |
In 2009, Tenorio was working at Narconon
Freedom Treatment Center in Albion, Michigan when the facility became
the subject of a Better Business Bureau complaint. As the center
prepared a response to the complaint, Tenorio was one of several
executives at the center who received copies of e-mails going back and
forth between Freedom Center and Narconon International, the non-profit
that oversees all Narconon facilities. (
Narconon International in turn
reports to the Association for Better Living and Education, which is
staffed only by Scientology “Sea Org” officials.)
In the draft of its response to the BBB, Freedom Center’s officials
referred to the 70 percent success rate that all Narconon centers
advertise (some push it even higher — some ads have been seen with claims of up to 90
percent success).
Note, these success rates are completely out
of scale with more legitimate rehab programs, which typically advertise
success rates closer to 25 percent.
Tenorio says that the Freedom Center’s draft response was shown to
Claudia Arcabascio, Narconon International’s Legal Affairs Director.

Below, is a copy of the internal email the Legal Affairs Director for the entire Narconon network admitting
that there is no scientific basis for 70 percent success claims:
