The 'church' invites Americans to cure all diseases with bleach

A group calling itself the Church of Health and Being II plans to gather in Washington state to promote a "miracle drug" that claims to cure 95% of all diseases in the world but is actually industrial bleach.

The group invites members of the public through Facebook to take part in what they call an “effective alternative treatment” at the Icicle Village Resort in Leavenworth. Event organizer Tom Merry posted an announcement on his personal Facebook page. He tells people that the correct use of industrial bleach "can save your life or the life of a loved one who was sent home to die."

The Church asks those present at the meeting to “donate” $ 450 for one or $ 800 per couple in exchange for membership in the organization, as well as bleach bags, which they call “sacraments”.

This chemical is called MMS or “miraculous mineral solution or supplement,” and participants are promised that they will receive “knowledge that will help heal many people from the terrible diseases of this world.”

In fact, MMS consists of chlorine dioxide, a powerful bleach that is used for both textiles and industrial water treatment. In several countries of the world it was forbidden to use for medical treatment.

In 2010, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning about numerous injuries after using bleach. People who drank the chemical complained of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, severe dehydration.

The FDA issued a warning: "Customers who have an MMS should immediately stop using it and throw it away."

The main attraction of the event in Leavenworth is Mark Grenon, the self-styled "bishop" of the Church of Genesis II. He is the author of a book entitled Imagine a World Without Suffering: Is It Possible?

In a video posted on the “church” website, Grenon says that bleach, which he calls the “sacrament set,” can cure up to 95% of the world's diseases, including malaria, Ebola, dengue fever, all types of cancer, diabetes, autism, HIV and multiple sclerosis. He sells bottles of 4 oz. Sodium chloride for 15 dollars, providing instructions on how to mix it with citric acid to produce chlorine dioxide.

The Guardian contacted Grenon to ask why he was selling industrial bleach, described by the FDA as potentially dangerous, as a miracle cure, but hasn’t received an answer yet.

To promote the event, Merry posted a link on Facebook to a video claiming that people with malaria were cured in two hours. The video shows a British "church" supporter going to a village in Uganda where he gives several villagers a "miracle cure".

One of the victims shown in the film is a baby lying in the arms of his or her mother. The kid is forced to drink a cup of bleach. A baby screams when it swallows a liquid.

Fiona O'Leary, who fights pseudoscience, whose work helped ban MMS in Ireland in 2016, said she was horrified by the fact that Church of Genesis II, which she called the "bleach cult," is holding a public event in Washington.

“This event puts the lives of people, especially children, at risk. We must protect vulnerable people from this dangerous quackery,” she said.

This is not the first time that Washington has encountered an MMS advertising group. In 2015, Louis Smith of Spokane was convicted in the Eastern District of Washington for selling low-quality drugs and deception. He sold the MMS through the Project GreenLife website, fraudulently obtaining sodium chloride, setting up a fictitious "water purification" business. In the end, he was sentenced to four years in prison.
