Cult supporters defend operation

Australian Broadcasting Corporation/April 26, 1999

Supporters of an organisation, targeted by a Federal Liberal Senator last week, are continuing to defend its operation.

In Federal Parliament, Senator Grant Chapman, said a cult was operating under the guise of the "Vibrational Individuation Program" based on the use and control of food.

He claimed at least 450 families had been harmed in South Australia and believed the cult had spread interstate.

Senator Chapman told Parliament that a follower's life was controlled by how their body responds to different foods.

Program member Judy Dispain has confirmed that the organisation uses kinesiology which she describes as an "accepted practice of muscle testing" to determine food intolerances.

She says her individual program is similar to a vegetarian diet, with the addition of offal and other meat.

"I'd like the Senator to produce the pregnant women and the undernourished babies, yes I'd like him to produce them because I don't know what he's talking about."
