'Bubble' house doctor in trouble
He prescribed structure for ill South Whitehall woman.
The doctor who diagnosed a South Whitehall woman with chemical sensitivity disorder and designed the controversial modular housing unit known as "the bubble" on her property faces possible disciplinary action in Texas for allegedly practicing "pseudoscience" and treating patients in a manner that could be harmful.
The Texas Medical Board began action against Dr. William Rea last year when it filed a complaint against him, saying his "unscientific tests mislead patients into believing they have either an autoimmune or immunologic basis for their complaints, when in fact, they do not."
According to the complaint, Rea, who runs the Environmental Health Center in Dallas, injects patients with neurotransmitters, mycotoxins, jet fuel, natural gas and other chemicals.
"Treatments are inappropriate, not based on any evidence, not based on any physiologic correlate, are nonsensical and can be harmful," the complaint says
