I would hope that KGET would do it's due diligence in researching a story. A quick google search shows that Warren Green was chased out of Iowa for previously offering "Body-Scans". (http://medicalboard.iowa.gov/Cease_Desist%20Letters/12_06_2007.pdf) The statement that opens your article, "Many doctors agree that body scans of any kind are helpful to point out potential problems in your body", is false. As a physician, I can tell you that performing a body scan without a good clinical exam and history by a trained clinician is not recommended and can be dangerous. To Warren Green, I can tell you that I will be reporting you to the Medical Board of California. If there is no licensed physician on site at your "body-scans", then you are practicing medicine without a license. I will also be calling Bakersfield PD to report you. Quackery in all it's forms is dangerous to the public.
