EDMOND, Oklahoma – An Edmond doctor is under fire for allegedly injecting patients across Oklahoma with a mysterious formula called the “Jesus shot.”
Dr. John Michael Lonergan is a former federal prison inmate who was convicted of tax evasion, mail fraud and healthcare fraud in Ohio. Lonergan is also known as “Dr. Mike.”
In 2005, the State Medical Board of Ohio permanently revoked Lonergan’s medical license following his federal convictions. After Lonergan’s incarceration, the Oklahoma Medical Board voted to allow Lonergan to practice medicine in 2012 under state supervision.
Recent e-mails sent to News 9’s newsroom claim the doctor is actively injecting people across the state with a mysterious formula called the “Jesus shot.” News 9 tracked Lonergan to Full Circle Health in Edmond as well as Doorway To Health in Moore. A receptionist at the Edmond clinic answered questions in a recorded phone call with News 9.
News 9: “Why is it called the Jesus shot?
Clinic: “I don’t know why [Lonergan] calls it that.”
News 9: “What’s in it?”
Clinic: “You would have to sit down for a consultation with [Lonergan]. I do not know what the formula is.”
Full Circle Health Clinic Director Barbie Schrick says Lonergan is a part-time employee. Schrick promises to investigate Lonergan’s “miracle injection.” The “Jesus shot” is described as an injection that takes away pain for life. It costs $300, according to the clinic.
“I am so glad you’re telling me about this,” Schrick told News 9’s Michael Konopasek. “Thank God for the news that investigates and finds things out for people. Thank you.”
Wow there are soooo many suckers out there….
If the pain it’s supposed to cure is physical pain – that could be very problematic. Pain is the way your body tells you something is wrong.
And if it’s for pyschological pain or depression – wouldn’t it get tiring and maybe even boring to be hippy happy forever? Maybe be able to cry if a loved one died?
I bet it’s a B-12 shot. lol
Reminds me of Dr Jacobsen in NYC. Would give shots to his patients that would lift their spirits and give them energy for the whole day. Turned out he was shooting them with amphetamine. His patients ranged from the Kennedys to my mother (she swore it was only a couple of times). You can fool anyone if you give them what they want.
