Judge Halts Sale of Bleach Marketed as Coronavirus Treatment
WPTV ^

Posted on 04/18/2020 8:28:11 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A federal judge in South Florida has ordered a Colombia-based church to stop selling an industrial bleach marketed as a treatment for the new coronavirus and other ailments.

Judge Kathleen Williams entered a temporary injunction Friday halting Genesis II Church of Health and Healing's sale of Miracle Mineral Solution in the U.S.

Genesis sells MMS through its websites, according to a U.S. Justice Department civil complaint filed Thursday in the Southern District of Florida. Prosecutors say Genesis markets the solution as a treatment for COVID-19, as well as Alzheimer's, autism, brain cancer, HIV/AIDS and multiple sclerosis.

Nothing like a Clorox chaser to free the system of our inner demons.

Chase it down with some Pine-Sol, or one of those Fabulouso cleaners that look like kool-aid.

I’m trying to get my mind around taking bleach for anything. Cleaning yes/medicine no. If by chance you’re this dumb. I guess curing athletes foot with Drano would make sense. Does “beam me up Scotty” apply to this?

Has anyone tried to buy bleach recently? I was in the cleaning aisle of a store today and they didn’t have any regular bleach. They had the “splash-free” which has less of sodium hypochlorite, but no regular bleach either in brand name or generic. I wonder if people are buying it up and know the splash free stuff doesn’t cut it, or if the raw ingredient has been directed to hospitals so it never goes into a retail bottle anymore.

a “non-religious church.” Apparently, they simply use the “church” label to avoid state laws.

MMS ClO2 isn't bleach NaClO. Chlorine Dioxide is used for cleaning shell fish and does not leave a chlorine residue

Go to a farm store like Tractor Supply.

Lots of good “livestock” disinfectants there.

From their soon-to-be-closed website, they are a a non-religious “Church of Health and Healing”, that is short on the Bible and long on selling their “master mineral solution”, and charges for “sacremental guidance”. Of course the “master mineral solution” is is suppressed by the Red Cross, which knows it works.

I think people are using it more because it disinfects and wipes and hand sanitizer are hard to find too. I found some bleach but it was hit or miss mostly. I couldn’t find dried pinto beans or flour. When I finally did I ended up with 25 lbs of flour and 10 of beans. The smallest bags they had. My wife and I are 65 yrs+. If you can’t find those it’s not because of us. I got those to items covered for awhile.

Such a variety of Kool-Aid being pushed in social media these days. The Reverend Jim Jones would approve. Miracle cures all over the place.

In small amounts and at the appropriate concentrations, sodium hypochlorite aka bleach is used as an antiseptic in some dental procedures, most commonly the root canal, to kill any remaining bacteria before a final flush with sterile saline and closing up.

said, "Ultra liberal church most likely."

actually the other way around. The Judge in this case is so bias against science she likely believes sodium chloride (Table salt NaCl) is bleach (chlorine.)

Oxidation number for Chlorine Dioxide ClO2 (Cl(+4) 2XO2(-2 + -2 =-4) = Zero
MMS ClO2 oxidation is zero. It's neutral.

The Defense lawyer did a disservice or the judge was anti-science and believes anything with chlorine it is is bleach

I seem to remember instructions for purifying dubious water with a few drops per gallon of the old fashioned type bleach (pure 5% sodium hypochloride, I believe, no other ingredients). Definitely not the gel type or splashless type.

So the story claiming it is industrial bleach is full of chit as well then. Not surprised. 8>)

"industrial bleach"
it is an industrial beaching agent but without leaving chlorine as a residue. Similar to oxygen

Which is why it's used to clean foods and water.

This ruling reminds me of banning dihydrogen monoxide (H20)
