Miracle Mineral Solution Sucks

Have you heard of Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS) before? Well if not then read on. And if you have. Then still read on because I'm going to explain why it's rubbish and why no one should ever use it. Ever. 


MMS is a 28%  solution of sodium chloride in mineral water. It  is marketed as a miracle cure for a whole range of ills. From the site miraclemineral.org.
"The answer to AIDS, hepatitis A,B and C, malaria, herpes, TB, most cancer and many more of mankind's worse diseases has been found. Many diseases are now easily controlled."
There is the first glaring red flag. As we know. When someone makes such wide sweeping and implausible claims fro their product. It's a good indicator of fraud and bad quack medicine. 


The NZ site miraclemineral.co.nz is a little more coy. They play the 'suppressing the cure' angle and refer to the 'controversy' and MedSafe directly. They even provide the correspondence from MedSafe right there on the front page. I'm not going to bother to blast away all the complete and total rubbish found on this site. Suffice to say that it's the same old tired stuff that one comes across time and time again with alternative medicine 'cures'.


Lets take a look at a few of the other red flags that we use to spot rubbish medicine. 


Red flag number one. Where is the evidence of efficacy? All the evidence of efficacy comes from anecdotes and unfalsifiable reports of "trials" that don't exist outside of the product promotional material. Surely if there was any validity to the claims for this product there would be some kind of independent or verifiable evidence. Perhaps a report on the results of a clinical trial. But with MMS there is no such evidence to be found.


Red flag number Two. What do independent sources have to say about MMS? 
The American FDA has this to say.
"FDA warned consumers not to consume or use Miracle Mineral Solution, an oral liquid solution also known as "Miracle Mineral Supplement.""
"Consumers who have MMS should stop using it immediately and throw it away."
Health Canada says:
"Health Canada advises that using this product as directed may cause serious health problems."
"Consumers should stop using Miracle Mineral Solution."
MedSafe says:
"Medsafe has been alerted to the Miracle Mineral Solution products (also known as "Miracle Mineral Supplement" - MMSI and MMSII) in the past and has communicated with the company to require them to cease making claims that their products are an effective treatment for several serious diseases."
"Consumers who have experienced any negative effects from MMS should consult with a healthcare professional as soon as possible."
That all seems pretty damming. It's a massive red flag when the independent sources of information on a product are so universally damming. And in this case not just of its efficacy. They are saying that it is actually directly harmful.  

Red Flag number three. The site miraclemineral.org has books and DVDs for sale. Why is this a red flag? It's a typical indicator of a medical scam. They create the product, and along with it, a whole new revolutionary way of looking at illness and disease. Then there are books and DVDs for sale that will allow you to learn about these new and powerful ideas yourself. Did I mention it's a scam? The book and the DVD contains no useful information. Even though I haven't personally read them. I can state it for a fact. The first part of the book is available for free. I did read this, and it's a complete load of nonsense. And it contains nothing of any use. What it does do is point you in the direction of the book you must pay for. In there, it is promised, are all the secrets to all the health and happiness you deserve. Scam. If you want to read it for yourself go here. It's 152 pages!!

So is MMS harmful. O you better believe it. I saved this part for last because it seems so unbelievable. If you followed the links to the FDA Health Canada or MedSafe and saw the warnings then you will have picked up on this already. If you didn't. Don't do it now. I want to be the one to tell you. Listening? Good.
Why is MMS harmful? Because when you mix the 28% sodium chloride with citric acid, as the instructions recommend, It creates and industrial strength bleach! And then you are supposed to drink it! It probably goes without saying that drinking bleach is a bad idea. In industrial applications this stuff is used to bleach textiles and as a disinfectant. Ingesting it can result in serious adverse health effects. These include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and symptoms of severe dehydration. 


If you know of anyone using or thinking of using this product. You best give them the facts. It's a very serious and dangerous piece of deliberate fraud. Yes. It is my opinion that this is a case of deliberate health fraud. It stretches credibility to believe that the people selling this product think it works. They are out to make their money off the misery, suffering and desperation of others. And they don't care how many they injure, or possibly kill, in the process. If you hate these idiots as much as I do. Feel free to send a polite tho strongly worded email to their NZ operation. info@miraclemineral.co.nz. I'm sure they would love to hear from you.
