The biggest use of chlorine dioxide is in bleaching wood pulp, cotton and cotton-polyester fabrics. It is corrosive to metals and hazardous when consumed in a concentrated form. Still, some people use bleach to treat many ailments and believe that this \u2018sacrament\u2019 is capable of overcoming diseases known to mankind.<\/p>\n

Jim Humble, a former Scientologist now an Archbishop of the \u2018Genesis II Church of Health and Healing\u2019, has named this chemical sacrament as the \u2018Master Mineral Solution\u2019 (MMS). He describes it as a sure cure for cancer, diabetes, lyme disease, multiple sclerosis, parkinson\u2019s, alzheimer\u2019s, autism, arthritis, high cholesterol, kidney or liver diseases, HIV\/AIDS, allergies, urinary tract infections, digestive problems, obesity, tumours, cysts, depression, eye or ear infections, problems with prostate, erectile dysfunction, etc. \u201cI know it sounds too good to be true,\u201d Jim Humble wrote, \u201cBut according to feedback I have received over the last 20 years, I think it\u2019s safe to say MMS has the potential to overcome most diseases known to mankind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kerri Rivera, a Bishop of Humble\u2019s church, vouched for this absurd notion claiming that MMS enemas could cure children with Autism<\/a><\/strong> by killing the harmful pathogens inside them. She was in the spotlight for promoting MMS as\u00a0a cure for people with autism. She has penned a book called\u00a0\u2018Healing the Symptoms Known as Autism\u2019<\/em>\u00a0and an ebook in which she describes how to take MMS. She has claimed that many children were cured of their Autism, however, no evidence were found about the whereabouts of the children she mentioned or any proof whether they even ever had autism.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
