FDA, CHCC warns public vs sodium chlorite products
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning yesterday to the public against consuming sodium chlorite products that are being sold online as “treatments.”
This comes soon after the FDAS received reports of consumers getting sick after consuming these products.
The Commonwealth Health Care Corp.’s Bureau of Environmental Health received a notice from the FDA yesterday to inform the public, especially online shoppers, not to purchase or drink “Miracle” or “Master” Mineral Solution or other sodium chlorite products.
According to CHCC spokesperson Zoe Travis, the products are known by various names, including Miracle or Master Mineral Solution, Miracle Mineral Supplement, MMS, Chlorine Dioxide Protocol, and Water Purification Solution. When mixed according to package directions, they turn into a strong chemical that is also used as bleach.
The FDA first warned consumers about the products in 2010, but the products are still being promoted on social media and sold online by many independent distributors.
Consumption of chlorine dioxide products can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and symptoms of severe dehydration. The FDA has received reports of consumers who have suffered from severe vomiting, severe diarrhea, life-threatening low blood pressure counts caused by dehydration and acute liver failure after drinking these products.
The CHCC urges to public to see a doctor as soon as possible, if any has contracted a negative reaction to any of these products.
