Warning issued over 'miracle cure' bleach

Wed 5 Nov 2014 In: New Zealand Daily News

James Humble will front a seminar in NZ this weekend A warning has been issued about a chemical product a group which is about to visit New Zealand claims can cure HIV and AIDS, among other things. This weekend James Humble from Genesis II Church of Health and Healing will lead a pricey seminar in Ngatea about Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS). It’s made from chlorine dioxide, a bleach. New Zealand’s Medsafe is echoing warnings from other world health authorities, urging people not to use the chemical. "These products, when used as directed, produce an industrial bleach that can cause serious harm to health," it says. Medsafe has told miraclemineral.co.nz it can’t claim its products treat serious disease and that it can’t sell MMS as medicine. The Australian Medical Association has called for a ban of the product, saying 10 people have reported being poisoned in the past five years. America’s FDA has also issued a warning against the use of the chemical.
