> I may be very cynical but I suspect that the biggest value of the scans done in the clinic are to provide data for Dr. Amen's research. I may be wrong. JMHO.
Research is important, and in this field it is absolutely necessary that the proper research be done because the information available is so limited and because the potential benefits are so great.
But researchers should not be charging people to be research subjects. In this particular case I think it's extremely likely that there are plenty of other potential sources of funding. I also think that it's disingenuous, not to say dishonest, to portray current research hypotheses as facts for the purpose of attracting more clients (i.e., paying research subjects).
