In
1966 he gave all his researches and solutions at
that point to William Benitez. Mr Benitez formed
the first Narconon, based on these solutions, in
Arizona State Prison from where he had written to
Mr Hubbard asking for help.
He
had just started a sentence but was desperately
looking for an answer to addiction for himself and
other inmates. Mr Benitez formed the word Narconon
from the Greek words Narco-, meaning stupor and
-non meaning no. He was so successful with the initial
programme that he was paroled shortly afterwards
and it was his initial work and impetus that helped
the organisation become the international success
it is today, with branches in 38 countries around
the world. |
