Yes! More Prometa coverage on LifeLube, this post via the Jan 20 Dallas Morning News.
Our favorite quotes from the story -
"I don't think anybody should be spending any amount of money on something that hasn't been clinically researched to be safe and effective," said Dallas Criminal District Judge John Creuzot, who was approached about the pilot program but refused to participate. He said the company marketing the treatment is "in the business of making money, and they did a great sales job on some well-intended legislators in Texas."
And we like this section too...
Kathryn Cunningham, director of the University of Texas Medical Branch's Center for Addiction Research, said it's true that some medical treatments can alter brain chemistry to curb drug cravings. The problem, she said, is that there's little proof Prometa is one of them.
"There's been a lot of marketing hype before the evidence exists. This is not something I'd personally want to spend my taxpayer money on," said Dr. Cunningham.
"I know a lot of scientists in this area, and we're all singing the same tune," she said. "This is misguided."
