“Miracle Mineral Solution and similar products are not FDA-approved, and ingesting these products is the same as drinking bleach,” FDA acting commissioner Ned Sharpless, M.D., said in a statement.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning people against buying or using “Miracle Mineral Solution” — a product being sold online as a remedy for cancer, autism, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis and other conditions — calling it a “dangerous” bleach which can have life-threatening effects.
While the release says that the FDA has been aware of the product and has been warning consumers since 2010 not to use it, it recently received new reports “of people experiencing severe vomiting, severe diarrhea, life-threatening low blood pressure caused by dehydration and acute liver failure after drinking these products.
The Genesis II Church of Health and Healing in Leavenworth, Wash. has continued selling the solution as “sacramental cleansing water.” In April, the non-religious church held a meeting to teach people how the bleach “could save your life, or the life of a loved one sent home to die,” The Guardian reported. The church asked for “donations” of $450 for an individual, or $800 for a couple in exchange for membership to their organization, and packages of the bleach.
He also says that the FDA has previously approved the use of chlorine dioxide in other products, and the chemical has widespread use in other day-to-day situations. “The FDA will continue to track those selling this dangerous product and take appropriate enforcement actions against those who attempt to evade FDA regulations and market unapproved and potentially dangerous products to the American public,” Sharpless said in his statement. “Our top priority is to protect the public from products that place their health at risk, and we will send a strong and clear message that these products have the potential to cause serious harm.
