Chai! "Jesus Shot" watin person no go see!
News broke this week that a Texas lawmaker had allegedly traveled to Oklahoma on taxpayers’ dime to get an experimental treatment he says has cured his chronic pain, bringing a controversial medical procedure called the “Jesus Shot” into the national spotlight.
Administered for the past few years by only one doctor, John Michael Lonergan, the Jesus Shot contains two drugs and one vitamin approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Dr. Mary Schrick of Full Circle Integrative Health in Edmond, Oklahoma, which used to host Lonergan’s practice, told the Houston Chronicle.
