The cops are saying the detox regimen works…
A proposal before lawmakers would allocate $440,000 for police officers exposed to methamphetamine labs to undergo a regimen designed to excrete poisons.
The regimen has roots in Scientology and officers who have followed the routine say their health has improved. But no studies have confirmed whether the regimen eliminates poisons, and toxicology experts say meth-related chemicals would have long ago passed through the body.
A committee comprised of members from the Legislature must still decide whether to fund the regimen. Attorney General Mark Shurtleff has been the program’s most high-profile supporter.
