'Church' to offer 'miracle cure' despite FDA warnings against drinking bleach
The Guardian ^ | @edpilkington | Ed Pilkington

Posted on 04/20/2019 7:20:20 AM PDT by BenLurkin

A group calling itself Genesis II Church of Health and Healing plans to convene at a hotel resort in Washington state on Saturday to promote a “miracle cure” that claims to cure 95% of all diseases in the world by making adults and children, including infants, drink industrial bleach.

The group is inviting members of the public through Facebook to attend what they call their “effective alternative healing” at the Icicle Village Resort in Leavenworth on Saturday morning. The organizer of the event, Tom Merry, has publicized the event on his personal Facebook page by telling people that learning how to consume the bleach “could save your life, or the life of a loved one sent home to die”.

The “church” is asking attendants of the meeting to “donate” $450 each, or $800 per couple, in exchange for receiving membership to the organization as well as packages of the bleach, which they call “sacraments”. The chemical is referred to as MMS, or “miracle mineral solution or supplement”, and participants are promised they will acquire “the knowledge to help heal many people of this world’s terrible diseases”.

In fact, MMS consists of chlorine dioxide, a powerful bleach that is used both on textiles and in the industrial treatment of water. It has been banned in several countries around the world for use as a medical treatment.

In the US, the chemical cannot be sold for human consumption. In 2010, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) put out a public warning after it was notified of many injuries to consumers from drinking the fluid, with symptoms that included nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, severe dehydration and one person who had a life-threatening reaction.

The FDA issued the blunt advice: “Consumers who have MMS should stop using it immediately and throw it away.”

If President Trump sends out a tweet telling people not to drink bleach, I wonder how many Democrats will openly defy him?

Anyone can set up a cult and call it a church, which then gets the benefits given to churches. This is wrong and must stop. This led to the Jonestown murder and mass suicide, and to a certain religion from the East growing and gaining in power.

But what do you do about the fizz that comes when the bleach is in contact with the Tide pods?

Have to be sure you belch properly.

I find 3% hydrogen peroxide to be much tastier.

“I find 3% hydrogen peroxide to be much tastier.”

Make sure you go with the food grade H2O2. The stabilizers in the drug store stuff may be harmful to you.

These shitheads should be arrested for poisoning people.
And do it today before their lunacy hurts anyone else.

We buy 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide then dilute to various levels.

Use to clean my CPAP and put a little in the water chamber as it not only keeps clean but releases oxygen as a by product.

Using 4 oz per gal in our humidifier does same

2% solution then 3-4 drops in each ear when a cold or flu is coming on also a great cure.

Amazing stuff .... well so is bleach but..

If your water comes from a municipal water system, you probably are drinking bleach...about 0.5 ppm or so.

Dose makes the poison.

Chlorine dioxide is a GAS per Wikipedia.

Is it supposed to be breathed? That does not sound like something that would come in “packets.”

“Packets” sound like lousy reporting — perhaps even the MSM equivalent of trolling conservatives. Let’s pray we don’t get more wack-out chemical cults, but again let’s not go off the deep end ourselves.

That’s true. If this group exists, are they selling packets of water with a non toxic trace of the whatever in it? Still charlatans, but perhaps not actually poisoning people if so.

Returning to that late-night scene in the kitchen, should you worry about drinking a mouthful of bleach? You’ll probably be fine. Most household bleaches contain fairly low concentrations of sodium hypochlorite — about 3 to 6 percent. That’s not an endorsement for trying it, but for the average adult, you shouldn’t expect anything worse than an upset stomach.

Now, what if you pop the cap and start guzzling away? Or what if you slurp from a more concentrated supply of industrial-strength bleach, where the percentage of sodium hypochlorite can swell to double digits? You’re in for a world of hurt. Symptoms range from gagging, pain and irritation in the mouth and throat; pain and possible burns in the esophagus and stomach; vomiting; and shock can appear right away to within a few hours. If you don’t treat the symptoms immediately, you can permanently damage your gastrointestinal tract and internal organs — and, depending on how much you drink, you could die.

Everyone who read this had an image in their mind. Small quantitates might be ok, might even be good.

Nitro glycerin in small quantities is good for some people, too much and...…………………..

Dang, I hoped nobody knew about that. The belching is half the fun. And I’m learning to belch songs. I’m working on the entire 1812 overture, but the canon blasts are still a challenge.

This is such white privilege it’s beyond mentioning. /s
