The Mystery Revealed: Scientology Hands!!!

Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Tom Cruise > Katie Holmes

katieholmespurplehands.jpg

We learn something new every day!

We revealed yesterday that Katie Holmes has been wearing gloves and long sleeve shirts to cover her freakily discolored hands.

We thought she was sporting purple hands for her appearance on ABC's Eli Stone.

But, a few insiders in the know informed us that Katie might have taken part in a Scientology purification ritual that caused her hands to go purple.

Yikes!

According to reports, the purification ritual is called the Purification Rundown or Purif.

Peeps going through the process take 'vitamin bombs' to get 'toxins' out of their bodies.

A source says that in almost every single case, Scientology founder Hubbard recommends dosages in his teachings that are well above the safe limits, in some cases as much as 142 times more than the toxic level. The side effects of such huge overdoses range from liver damage, hair loss, brain swelling and nausea up to fatal heart and respiratory failure.

The cleanse also prescribes huge doses of something called niacin. A report says large doses of niacin can cause liver damage, peptic ulcers, and skin rashes. Even normal doses can be associated with skin flushing.

Poor Katie.

Someone help her!!!

    Re: good – YOUR A FUCKING RETARD! ANY VITAMIN MINERAL TAKE IN LARGE DOSES CAN MAKE YOU ILL OR CAN BE DEADLY! THE REASON, YOUR LIVER CAN NOT FILTER THE SUBSTANCE FAST ENOUGH, THEREFOR IT TURNS INTO A TOXIN WITHIN YOUR BLOODSTREAM. CHILDREN HAVE BEACOME VERY ILL AND EVEN DIED FROM AN OVERDOSE OF CHEAWBLE VITAMINS. I DO BELIEVE IN CERTAIN PHARMACEUTICAL CONSPIRACY THEORIES BUT YOU ARE WAY OFF ON THIS ONE.

    I tell you what, that scientology throws empirically based medicine practices into the wayside…endangering people with legitimate problems such as post-partem depression and other issues. This "religion" is utterly about money and prestige.

    If she's doing the purification rundown, you kinda have to ask - what's she purifying herself of? What this girl been up to?

    Yea she signed up for a gig and she is a lost cause idiot. They are both creepy and wierd and the fact she has made this madness her life is shocking to us all; that she would even play into it, yet STAY!! What a knob…she would follow Tom off a cliff…dumb waste of skin. She is like Amy Drughouse except her drugs and problems are Tom. Wierdos.

    212

    Katie might be fasting
    Sometimes the hands can turn blueish when the body goes into
    a Ketosis state. The Electrolytes are changing, a coating develops on the tongue, blood sugar drops and the hands can turn blueish
    She can also become dizzy from fasting

    Maybe she just got through shoving an eggplant up sombody's……



  14. 214

    Thank you, sincerely.

    It's about time information about the damage "purification" does to the system.

    Elron was not a doctor. He was crazy.

    Yes. She's definitely suffered some internal damage. Circulation could be affected due to the discoloration in her hands. But she's often purple around the lips which could indicate heart trouble.

    Remember when Nicole Kidman was photographed with extremely purple paws? Maybe she had the same craptastic detox.

    216

    Readers (to whom it may concern): Its Katies problem, dont be claiming that she needs to get out of the marriage. I gotta say its a sick ritual and Scientology is a scam but it was her decision to stick with Tom. We'll only have to wait and see what happens next which might be even scarier, also we can only wait until she finally realizes what damage its doing… for example: Jason Beghe who "woke up". I really do hope more sci-celebs wake up and raise awarness about how this cult destroys lives!

    217

    Forget about her freakishly purple hands, and the fact she looks liike she's dying. Ever since Katie Holmes she looks older by the min I think she's like around my age 25 or 26. She looks like she's pushing her late 40'z. She didnt look this bad when she was dating that American Pie dude she was engaged to Chris Kline. Britneys on the Road to saving. So someone save Katie Holmes and poor Baby Suri.

    Peace Out Jessica

    If you take niacin, take SLO Niacin before bedtime, as it is time released and you will not experience the burning sensation. No more than 500mg. I am not a doctor.

  19. T says – reply to this


    219

    Um, I don't know whose hand that is but if you look carefully at the picture, it isn't her hand. Her arm isn't in the right position to be holding it up. But she never looks happy anymore and her IQ is down by a few hundred points.

  20. ashly says – reply to this


    220

    Niacin makes you red all over not just In ur hands, plus it doesn't last very long only an hour or 2. So if her hands were discolored from that she would also be red in the face, which she isn't.

  21. milla says – reply to this

    I don't care if she is getting druggd by Tom. I just know he has done some messed up stuff to her. She used to be an amazing person, but ever since that wack job got to her, she has gone way down hill (mentally and physically) and he is loosing populatirty quick. She always looks out of it and really tired. That poor doll needs to get away from him.

    Maybe it’s because I just got up, but the attitudes of your posters really suck, Perez. I didn't realize so many people hate Tom, Katie and you. I think it would be hard to hate people you don't even know…
    As for the photo, I'm not surprised by Scientology. They've been sending me their propaganda for six months and I've never even asked for it. I DID ask them politely over the phone not to send me anything else, but it has yet to stop the deluge of snail mail. If all their members get this much literature I think I know who to blame for deforestation.

    i totally agree. if the hand doesn't belong to the black dude next to him, than it's his son or daughter's hand (they're black)…. they may be next to him and just cut out of the photo. it's not her hand. could b photoshopped, 2

    At first I thought she knew what she was getting into before she married the nut. Now I actually feel sorry for her. I don't really think she was expecting all this. She should have been and should have researched this crazy cult before jumping in with both feet, obviously she didn't!

    240

    I steer clear of saying things like "poor Kate" because of the complete lack of respect it affords her. No one can be brainwashed" unless they want to be. Holmes had a choice. Cruise is not her keeper. And neither of them are "freaks." They are religious zealots and there are plenty of them to go around in this country–to the point that it's more freakish to not offer extended platitudes towards your faith of choice. It is we silent worshippers who are freaks in this "look at me" culture.

  46. Anon says – reply to this


    246

    This is one of the reasons why the organization known as Anonymous protests against scientology. Scientology could care less for it's members, even it's celebrity members. You see the "Church" of Scientology has a whole division dedicated to trying to recruit celebrities, so those celebrities will bring with them members, and with those members money. Many of you will remember from the James Bond movie series the henchman known as "Jaws", well after the movie his career went on a downturn, he also suffered from constant pain, and that's when the vultures came and try to manipulate him in his weakend state. If Scientology is not stopped, Kate might very well become another victim of it's neglagence for it's members. For an example of Scientology's neglagence leading to the death of it's members please look up Lisa McPherson. This neglagence of it's members is one of the reasons why we (Anonymous) protest. To learn more simply look up Anonymous (the group), but beware of websites set up by the church of scientology to lie about the protests, to learn more about that look up the fair game policy.

    Dehydration could cause her hands to look like that too. Mine did that when I was sick.

    Nicole Kidman had color issues with her hands and so did Rene Zelwelger. I also remember Diane Keaton wearing black gloves for about one year. Vitamin therapy can cause serious side effects and it is possible to over dose on them. Ladies you are dancing with the devil! Get away from Cruise and his so called religion. Has it occured to anyone that only wealthy people are allowed to "join"? Duhhh

    Re: Krist – Go on then point to the study that says the purification rundown is good for you. You won't find one because it can actually be harmful. Scientology found this out then buried the evidence because they are a lying cult only interested in money. Google it and see! Only Scientologists claim it's helpful!

Plzzzz…..get real !!

    Purple fingers are also a symptom of Raynaud's syndrome…which is caused by poor circulation, sclerodoma, lupus etc.Treatment includes keeping affected area warm, which would explain the hand coverups on Ms. Cruise.

    262

    OMG!!! this is so stupid! Look at the arms with the long blue sleaves around the black guys waist, coming from under his left arm. Some one else is holding his hand from behind him. Kattie and Tom are not even that close. Look!!!

  63. Cocoy says – reply to this


    263

    Many here say stuff about how it looks photoshopped and how much they hate Tom Cruise for destroying her. Personally, we shouldn't consider these things seeing as how Scientology in its entirety is a rather complicated theory to believe. Hubbard was never a doctor or anything and this is completly damaging to everyone.

    Thanks for posting this, people need to see more about the evils behind this "Church".

  64. cRAZY says – reply to this


    264

    Woa!! what a crazo! gosh i seriusly believe that when Tom and Katy get home he locks her up in the basement, and then when its time to go out he dresses her up very nice and tells her if she talks he'll put her in a mental institution!!! lolz They both scare me :(

    niacin is vitamin B3. it's a neccessary part of all our diets. try not to make it sound like a poison, or yourself completely ignorant. most americans have no idea what constitutes a healthy or acceptable diet these days. while i laud your current weight loss and hope others are inspired to do the same, i hope you will in the future make more intelligent comments regaurding nutrition. it's important not to scare and confuse people.

    266

    okay…everyone should leave this odd couple alone. if the bitch wants to be a damn scientologists married to tom cruise then so be it! shit…if i am going to read some damn gossip, does it have to be about purple hands????

  67. G A says – reply to this


    267

    FYI niacin is a suplement you can pick up at the local GNC. Potheads use it to flush thier system before piss tests. The supplement forces the body to burn fat cells where THC is contained. Thats why if you see people walking around with bad sunburns for a few days and they haven't been outside. They might be flushing thier system. Its a very dangerous practice that also causes the body to dehydrate itself as well but in most cases it works.

    The moment she escapes from Mr. Roboto (Tom Cruise) she will have to start from the beginning to try to redeem whatever acting career was destroyed by the Cruise. I give it a few more years before Mrs. Stepford Wife (Katie Holmes) figures out she has gone down the wrong path with Scientology and Scientology's biggest NUTJOB…TOM CRUISE!

    Niacin flushes the face, chest and other areas, but barely the hands. It tends to flush best nearest the heart and soft tissue.
    Scientology is dangerous, of course, maybe she got her hands stained from the ink of all the brainwashing texts followers are expected to read. I've read many of the official manuals, which go on and on about how to control "Units" (people)

  82. trex2 says – reply to this


    282

    Katie Holmes is lost. Nicole Kidman was lucky to get out butI don't think Katie will be that lucky. Scientology is a brainwashing, elitist, cult. It it not a religion, it is a coming book following based on the imagination of a dead schizophrenic, copycat science fiction writer. L. Ron Hubbard stole the story of Dianetics and thus the basis for Scientology from another science fiction writer (whose name escapes me) that wrote a book with eerily similar characteristics to Dianetics about 10-15 years before LRH wrote Dianetics. Hmmm… Hollywood stars can sugar coat Tom Cruise as much as they want, but they all know that he has stepped off the dock and boarded the ship to mental insanity (or Xenu as the Scientologists call it I think, don't quote me their). He is the captain of the "schizophrenic Titanic" and his ship is going down. People have died while under the care of Scientology "medical professionals", not to mention, vitamins at that high of levels can cause blood disorders, brain disorders, they can be terratogenic (harmful to unborn babies), can even kill you. It is going to take something like an actress like Katie Holmes dying from being sucked into the Scientology crap before people start to realize what a BULLS**T cult Scientology is and how dangerous and completely asinine and harmful their teachings and practices are.

    For all you people who say this is photoshopped, there are about a million pics of her "hiding" her hands. Wearing gloves, pulling her sweater over her hands while trying to hold hands with Tom…things that make it TOTALLY obvious she is trying to hide something. If my hands looked like that I would be to.

    284

    did you ever put into consideration that tom could be holding hands with the guy?
    and not katie…
    still pretty hilarious though. you would think that if she had so much money that she could atleast spend it on some scrub er something to get that narsty shitt off her hands :s
    come onnn now.

    285

    Wow….wouldn't secret Scientology rituals make a great story. Unfortunately this is probably not the case. I have recently been diagnosed with Raynauds Disease. This means I have purple hands and poor circulation in my extremeties (fingers and toes). I have to wear gloves everywhere, even when I am inside. It is usually nothing too serious (as long as you keep warm) but in some cases is linked to lupus, sclerdermia, arthritis and other connective tissue disorders. It is not uncommon (1 in 7 women suffer from it). Unfortunately, this purple story is probably not as eccentric or as exciting as it may first appear.

    286

    I'd say that the only off color hands here are the hands of Perez Hilton. Stained beyond recognition the acts of a feeble mind prejudiced beyond all ability to reason.



  87. 287

    Ever since the Mr and Mrs brainless got together they've had none thing but
    problems.I know why;the cult they are in(scientology)has brain washed them.
    They rather follow a man who made up a crazy religion teaching from a
    book writen in the 1950's.GOD has been around forever.Why believe in
    teachings from a book that clearly has no history.There's only one true GOD
    we should worship,he's our father,he loves us unconditionally and like any
    loving father he punish us when we defie him.The government say we have
    a right to any religion but the government wont be the one you stand
    before on judgement day.If you don't know what religion is the true key
    to the kingdom then ask LORD to show you the way.
