RE: Fw: FDA MedWatch - Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS): Product as consumed produces a potent bleach that can cause serious harm

[Guest guest]

I know a lot of people using MMS and I did for over a year.  Here's my take on

it:  FDA would love to shut anything down that is a threat to

pharmaceuticals....or is CURING people.  I've seen this over and over with

supplement company, etc.  I have a lot more faith with jim Humble and MMS than

FDA.  FDA never gave me any " warning " about the prednisone and methotrexate my

rhemy put me on.  I pray they don't try and attack AP.  I feel like we all

have to be warriors fighting for what is right! sally

Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS): Product as consumed produces a potent bleach

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.

Healthcare professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or

side effects related to the use of this product to the FDA's MedWatch Safety
