Or the Miracle Mineral Solution. I wrote something about it on my blog, and also point readers to my paper.
Let's talk about one of the last 'frontier' of medicine called 'alternative', which for some time began to spread in Italy. I discovered this' buffalo 'thanks to the blog Medbunker (which I recommend to everyone), where I read the story of a boy, Rhys Morgan :
' Sick of Crohn's disease Rhys searched for any news on the internet and ended up in one of the many forums "health seekers" who advise about everything and more (and not recommended medicine) to cure any disease. In his case it was a mixture quite common on the Internet and that is spreading in Italy. His name is MMS, Miracle Mineral Solution (something like "miracle mineral solution") and his prophet is a Jim Humble, sometimes passed off as an aerospace engineer, others as an inventor, but it seems that his work was a technician in the gold mines. The vaunted promises and achievements of this potion is a classic cure many diseases (from the most mundane to the most serious, including AIDS and cancer), there are no side effects, tested by the use of thousands of people and the many witnesses who can swear to its effectiveness. Managers Forum recommended the MMS to the boy to recover from his illness. The list the healing properties, reassured him about "many studies" that prove the efficacy and safety of the product and price information.
Explanations the presumed mechanism of action? The usual rounds of words mixed with words "para-" making-so-cool and can not be denied because they have no medical significance.
A drink a day and the effects will be felt immediately.
Many fall for it (in Italy there are forums dedicated to this substance), purchase the magic bottle, web, prepare the potion and drink it, and woe to contradict them, there are those who say they feel better and those who find the taste disgusting but insists the dangerous torture. Do not stop them even accuse the nausea that nearly all the first sips of the drink. The sale of this useless and dangerous concoction is wild, it is often introduced with a mechanism of "multilevel marketing", ie there is a seller who has under him and each other sellers to earn commissions and sales of "subagents": a business with no medical purpose but for the sole purpose of gaining behind naive.
The reason, as usual, fails, rely on the people without licenses to cure diseases becomes a normal thing and if someone tries to explain that the potion is useless and can even be dangerous, open up the sky .. . and then if someone is a doctor, a biologist, a pharmacologist or worse, fuck the power!
But almost always starting with the side effects, mainly discomfort, nausea, vomiting, but do not worry ... what is the typical excuse of charlatans when they accuse the first interference due to their "care"? Detoxification!
When an alternative treatment is starting to trouble the charlatan always says that is a sign of operation, this means that the body is "detoxing" and so another dose of potion.
But the boy does not fit.
dell'intruglio Study the composition, it informs, and discovers that the potion from the name ... so inviting is nothing if not bleach. '
Yes, dear readers: BLEACH. Pure and simple bleach, which We all know very well not be the best thing to drink ... I refer you to the blog of Medbunker for the rest of the story.
Moreover, this MMS is sold for its weight in gold on a page of E-bay Italian, a Roman sells a kit consisting of a 120 ml bottle of bleach, a solution of citric acid, and 48 grams of powdered citric acid to the modest sum of € 25 (plus 9 € for shipping). It 'really a miracle solution, but only for banks who sold it!
The good news is that the NAS have recently seized two plants, denouncing holders. As the Minister of Health Ferruccio Fazio asked the police to intensify the monitoring of the propaganda messages of therapies that create illusions and false expectations among citizens, it is hoped that these abductions continue ....
