Federal government again warns against drinking Mineral Miracle Solution—which has been promoted on social media as a treatment for numerous conditions, including autism and cancer—saying it's 'the same as bleach.'
The federal government is urging the public not to drink a solution that has been touted as a treatment for numerous conditions, including autism and cancer, but which it says is akin to drinking bleach.
The products have been promoted on social media as a remedy for treating autism, cancer, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis and flu, among other conditions, according to a press release from the FDA. Miracle Mineral Solution products are described online as a liquid that is 28% sodium chlorite in distilled water which should be mixed with a citric acid, such as lemon or lime juice, before drinking, the FDA said.Yet what many consumers may not be aware of is that when the acid is added, the mixture becomes chlorine dioxide -- a powerful bleaching agent, the agency said.
The FDA also noted that it is not aware of any scientific evidence that supports the claimed health benefits of the solution.
