Katie Holmes has been left feeling weak and tired due to an extreme diet called the Purification Rundown, according to reports.

The detox regime is endorsed by her husband Tom Cruise's Church of Scientology and has apparently left the actress without any energy.

The ritual involves taking what are known as 'vitamin bombs', which are supposed to rid the body of any unwanted toxins.

'Katie has spent the past ten days resting,' a source tells the Daily Mail.

‘She missed the Armani party in New York recently because she was so tired.’

The slimline star, who has recently been criticised for looking too thin, has also been spotted carrying around a bottle of the energy drink Celsius.

The drink is supposed to contain a ‘thermogenic blend’ which increases metabolism in order to burn calories.

Those Purification Rundown are known to be dangerous. Plus, the large doses of niacin involved can cause liver damage and other serious side-effects.

poor katie.
i wonder what she ever did to deserve to get her body released of toxins? most likely by diarrhea.
tom is too controlling and his attitude towards his wife is awful

If it is true ,how can a church endorse a already healthy normal person to not eat and get skinny, for what purpose? She looks far too thin .

People have been known to die during the purification rundown, like Lisa McPherson. She was basically starved and dehydrated and died as a result! Katie should be really careful. Don't let a cult make dangerous health decisions for you, go to see an actual doctor.

Crazy as it sounds, starvation and exhaustion are commonly used to aid in behavior and mind control. They don't call $cientology the "brainwashing cult" for nothing.

I agree, wow I wish I looked that good, and what a beautiful daughter she has and happy little girl to.

I have done the detox program that you are speaking of, and I did not lose a pound; you are weighed every day to make sure of that! You do not have less energy from it either.....that's the point! You are exercising (running usually), but Katie has run a marathon, so I don't think the 1/2 hour jog required would really impact her that much. Read up on it, and you will find the rumours are nonsense.

I don't know what Tom is doing to her but sooner or later it will surface. Further more, Katie needs to wake-up and start thinking what's best for the daughter she has now and unfortunately being sick isn't helping anyone especially when it's being done on purpose.
