Additive normally means a departure from standard procedure. For example, someone administering the Purificationprogram puts different or additional nutritional requirements into the basiclineup called for by the program. It means a twist on standard procedure. In common English, additive might mean a substance put into a compound to improve its qualities or suppress undesirable qualities. In this book it definitely means to add something to the technical procedure resulting in undesirable results. —Clear Body, ClearMind: The Effective Purification Program
