Group to tout bleach-based ‘miracle cure’ at upstate New York 'seminar'

Attendants could be given the powerful bleach, just days after FDA put out its strongest warning about the ‘miracle mineral solution’

Advocates of a “medicine” called MMS will gather in a hotel in upstate New York on Saturday to promote what they claim to be a miracle cure for cancer that is in fact a powerful bleach that can cause serious harm and even death.

The self-proclaimed “Genesis II Church of Health and Healing” – a group that in reality is neither a church nor a medical outfit – plans to lure supporters and unsuspecting individuals to a “seminar” at the Marienthal Country Inn in Eden, New York. It is charging $450 per person, or $800 for a couple, for the privilege of being inculcated over two days into the false promises of its remedy, “miracle mineral solution” or MMS.

A document seen by the Guardian shows that the group intends to provide the industrial-strength bleach to attendants for them to drink. “We just might surprise everyone every so often with a dose of MMS1. Be ready,” its literature states.

Earlier this week it posted on its Facebook page a video of a man firing multiple handgun rounds in a shooting range above the caption “More G2 Church security training”.

1. I remember hearing an interview with Jim Humble years ago where he was confronted with

the fact that he was making bogus claims and that this garbage was dangerous, and wasn't the FDA going to drop the hammer on him? His response, aside from the bull-shittery, included acknowledging that was why he was operating outside the US and musing that he was considering organizing a "church" to hide behind religious freedom protections (as a former Scientologist he'd know all about that ruse). Disappointing but not surprising that other people picked that up and ran with it.

For those curious but not familiar with this dangerous quackery:
