Is this worth looking into or a scam? They claim they recovery cases with this.
The guy's website has all the hallmarks of a scam -- including couching it in a "religion" he created. Please exercise a healthy skepticism when reading testimonials of the "believers!"
This substance is dangerous -- please don't experiment with this on children!
Here is the FDA warning issued on
MMS:
http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/Safe ... 220756.htm Miracle Mineral Solution (
MMS): Product as consumed produces a potent bleach
[Posted 07/30/2010]
AUDIENCE: Consumers, Emergency Medicine
ISSUE: FDA warned consumers not to consume or use Miracle Mineral Solution, an oral liquid solution also known as "Miracle Mineral Supplement" or "MMS." The product, when used as directed, produces an industrial bleach that can cause serious harm to health. The product instructs consumers to mix the 28 percent sodium chlorite solution with an acid such as citrus juice. This mixture produces chlorine dioxide, a potent bleach used for stripping textiles and industrial water treatment. High oral doses of this bleach, such as those recommended in the labeling, can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and symptoms of severe dehydration.BACKGROUND:
MMS is distributed on Internet sites and online auctions by multiple independent distributors.
MMS claims to treat multiple unrelated diseases, including HIV, hepatitis, the H1N1 flu virus, common colds, acne, cancer, and other conditions. The FDA is not aware of any research that
MMS is effective in treating any of these conditions.
MMS also poses a significant health risk to consumers who may choose to use this product for self-treatment instead of seeking FDA-approved treatments for these conditions.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Consumers who have
MMS should stop using it immediately and throw it away. The FDA advises consumers who have experienced any negative side effects from
MMS to consult a health care professional as soon as possible.
A newspaper article:
Quote:
The man who encourages the sick and dying to drink industrial bleachVulnerable people with cancer, Aids, influenza and malaria are being urged to drink Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS) – described by the FDA as 'industrial bleach'When 15-year-old Rhys Morgan was diagnosed with Crohn's disease a few months ago he turned to the internet for help, and came across the Crohn's Disease Forum, a website offering support to patients. "I was looking for a support forum, a community of people with same illness as me and some on the same meds as me."
He followed the site for a while and noticed a disturbing undercurrent of people trying to push alternative medicines to members. One product in particular was called Miracle Mineral Solution (
MMS), and its website claimed it cured cancer, Aids, malaria, and basically most things short of actual death.
Curious to know more about it, Rhys decided to Google it, and came across the following US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warning:
"The product, when used as directed, produces an industrial bleach that can cause serious harm to health. The product instructs consumers to mix the 28 percent sodium chlorite solution with an acid such as citrus juice. This mixture produces chlorine dioxide, a potent bleach used for stripping textiles and industrial water treatment. High oral doses of this bleach, such as those recommended in the labeling, can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and symptoms of severe dehydration."
In other words,
MMS is extremely nasty stuff, and the medical advice given is that anyone who has this product should stop using it immediately and throw it away. In Canada it was banned after causing a life-threatening reaction.
Intrigued, Rhys returned to the
MMS website and found some helpful instructions: "Basically, after making it up, you take a few drops of it. You judge if you're getting better by how nauseous you feel after taking it. Seriously."
Seriously.
The inventor and chief advocate of
MMS turns out to be one Jim Humble, a man who neatly contradicts the theory of nominative determinism pretty much every time he speaks. In a video transcribed and commented on by blogger Noodlemaz , he declares "I developed a technique for healing by touch," before going on to compare himself favourably to Jesus ("What was it that Jesus Christ did first of all, always? He healed the sick. That is what we will be doing but there is a lot more to it than that.")
