Industrial bleach is being sold on Amazon through its product pages which consumers are buying under the mistaken belief that it is a "miracle cure" for Covid-19, despite health warnings from the US Food and Drug Administration that drinking the fluid can kill.

The chlorine dioxide solutions are being sold on the Amazon platform under the brand name CD Kit and NatriChlor. Third-party sellers signal the bleach as a "water treatment" and include legal disclaimers that the liquid is "not marketed for internal use".

But comments from Amazon customers under the review section of the pages tell a different story. Users discuss how many drops of bleach they are imbibing and explain they are drinking the chemical which they call MMS to "disinfect ourselves", a phrase that echoes Donald Trump's controversial remarks in April that injections of disinfectant could cure Covid-19.

One purchaser, writing in Spanish, said his family had started taking bleach soon after the coronavirus pandemic hit the US. "Many people still don't believe in it, but I am sure that it has helped us a lot," he said.

Another Amazon customer wrote: "My mom who is 77 got Corona, Covid, and had a whole body-ache stomach upset, very extreme headache, fatigue ... Well, she started taking MMS and NOT KIDDING you, she was practically half better the NEXT day and the day after she was totally good!!"

The bleach that is being sold on the Amazon marketplace is typically used in industrial processes including textile manufacturing and bleaching of pulp and paper. In small doses it can be used to disinfect water, but the concentrations being advocated by pushers of MMS - "miracle mineral solution" - are well above safety levels.

Proponents of MMS falsely claim that it is a cure-all for almost all diseases, including malaria, HIV/Aids, cancer and now Covid-19. They also market it untruthfully as a cure for the condition autism.

Since the start of the pandemic, the FDA has been trying to clamp down on fraudulent dealers of quack remedies claiming to protect against the virus. Last August the agency issued a strong health warning that MMS bleach products could be life-threatening.

The American Association of Poison Control Centers has recorded more than 16,000 cases of chlorine dioxide poisoning, including 2,500 cases of children under 12. Many of those individuals suffered serious side effects, the group noted, including a six-year-old autistic girl who three years ago required hospital treatment for liver failure.

Third-party sellers are still finding ways to peddle potentially dangerous products on the site

Several deaths of people drinking bleach marketed as a "miracle cure" have been reported across South America, including in Argentina where a five-year-old boy was reported to have died in August having been given chlorine dioxide as a Covid cure.

In the past, Amazon has removed from its platform several pro-MMS books, including those by the founder of the movement, Jim Humble. He claimed to have discovered that chlorine dioxide cures malaria while on a gold mining expedition in the Guyana jungle in 1996.

Amazon in March promised to crack down on product listings that cash-in on false remedies for Covid-19. But third-party sellers are still finding ways to peddle potentially dangerous products on the site.

Amazon did not immediately respond to Guardian questions about the sale of the bleach on its platform.

Fiona O'Leary, a campaigner against MMS based in Ireland, said she was "shocked and heartbroken that Amazon is still selling this product. The FDA is prosecuting producers of bleach, but now we have Amazon selling it. How can this be happening?"

The CD Kit and Natrichlor bleach products currently on sale through Amazon are made by KVLAB, which is linked to Keavy's Corner, an online shop based in Lake Placid, Florida. In a business listing, Keavy's Corner describes itself as specializing in "chlorine dioxide products for consumer use".

In an email to the Guardian, the owner of Keavy's Corner, Steve Pardee, said that he began selling the product for cleaning dog kennels and equine use. He denied ever having claimed that chlorine dioxide is a cure, and stressed that he had nothing to do with the third-party sellers touting his wares on Amazon.

"I have never advocated human consumption. My listings for all these items have included links to FDA warnings since 2013," he said.

Documents show that Pardee was active on the "MMS Forum", an online community of advocates of bleach as a miracle cure, as recently as last year. In 2012 he was involved in preparing an approved list of MMS suppliers, and said in one post: "I started making MMS in 2008."

Pardee told the Guardian that back in 2012 he had "offered safety and technical advice" to a forum run by Genesis II, a one-time leading provider of bleach miracle cures in the US run by the Grenon family. Mark Grenon, the head of the family, and his son Joseph were arrested and charged by the FDA last month in Columbia and are awaiting extradition to the US, while two other sons are also in jail facing similar charges in Florida.

Pardee said he had cut ties with Genesis back in 2013 or 2014 and had nothing to do with them. But he did join a discussion on the MMS Forum in March 2019 in which members discussed changing the name from Miracle Mineral Solution to WPS, an acronym for Water Purification Solution.

The name change would help them "hide from the wolves and hyenas targeting MMS," as one user put it.

Pardee contributed to that conversation with the comment that "people who deal in any alternative health items need to be very careful of the language they choose. It all boils down to words. If you simply sell a chemical, and let people be educated elsewhere, they will find you when they know what they are looking for."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There is a permanent solution for cancer without side effects:

After Dr Raymond Venter's father was diagnosed with stage-4 cancer he was on a mission to find a permanent treatment solution that:

Attacks and destroys the cancer while healing the body back to its original healthy state.

Doesn't cause disruptive and damaging side-effects such as hair loss, nausea, fatigue etc.

Focuses on treating the reasons for cancer and not just the cancer itself.

Today's episode epitomizes the phrase "food as medicine" and builds the most wonderful bridge between natural and allopathic medicine. When those forces combine, such radical positive change can happen.

We're discussing new research pointing to a compound in dried ginger that is 10,000 times more effective at killing cancer stem cells than chemotherapy.

Here to talk about it with me is Dr. Rajesh Grover, an Assistant Professor of Cell and Molecular Biology and an Immunologist at Scripps Research Institute.

Raj and I became friends a few years ago, both sharing a passion for preventative care so when he reached out about teaming up on this topic, I couldn't say yes fast enough.

In this episode, he explains that cancer is not just bad luck.

"A landmark study published in the January 2016 issue of Nature Magazine highlights the contribution of external factors (almost 70% including diet, tobacco, and environmental factors) to Cancer.

1/3 of all cancers are diet-related (see appendix below).

The remaining 10 -30 % are due to mutations."

One of our biggest problems with cancer is not the cancer itself, but the relapse rate or reoccurrence.

This relapse means that the cancer comes back even when you get rid of the tumor mass.

The reason it comes back is that cancer consists of 2 kinds of cells:
1: Cancer Cells (99%)
These are uncontrolled fast-growing cells that are the offspring of cancer stem cells.
2: Cancer Stem Cells (0.2 to 1%)
Cancer stem cells are "the mother" of cancer cells which is why killing them is essential to eliminate the root source to prevent reoccurrence.

Chemotherapy kills cancer cells and which destroys tumors but the relapse depends on the much smaller, yet often more powerful minority of cancer stem cells (0.2 to 1%).

Again, they are the root cause of the cancer and chemotherapy does not kill these cells.
Enter Ginger
Many clinical trials have been done to evaluate the health benefits of ginger in different diseases and it is concluded that ginger can be used for Chemoprevention, meaning used to treat a precancerous condition or used as prevention to keep cancer from starting.

The most abundant compound in ginger is 6-gingerol. It is safe and efficacious in preventing cancer meaning could be used to treat a precancerous condition.

However, you'll want to consume dried ginger over fresh because when you dehydrate fresh ginger into powder, gingerols are converted into compounds called shogaols (the Japanese name for ginger).

6-Shogaol specifically is the most potent compound for killing cancer stem cells. Fresh ginger contains much less 6-Shogaol.
A recent breakthrough study found that 6-Shogaol; the active component of driedginger is 10,000x more effective than traditional chemotherapy for breast cancer research model.
When tested, it kills cancer cells more effectively (which traditional chemotherapy can also kill), but the difference is that it can also kill cancer stem cells, (where traditional chemo is not effective) without adversely affecting healthy tissue.

According to Dr. Grover, ginger has been tested on different kinds of cancers including breast, ovarian, prostate and colon cancer with a very positive outcome.

One of the clinical trials on colon cancer revealed the safe dose of ginger, because everything, even natural substances, can be toxic at high doses.

Consumption of dried ginger is safe and effective at a dose between 100mg - 2 grams/day.

So what does that look like for your everyday meals?

This is equivalent to 1/2 -1 teaspoon of dried ginger daily on and in your food and drink.

For example, use 1 teaspoon mixed in hot water with a squeeze of lemon for homemade ginger tea.

Heat up coconut oil, ghee, or butter and blend in one teaspoon of dried ginger into the oil before pan searing veggies, fish or chicken.

Mix ½ teaspoon into salad dressings or top your rice with dried ginger or blend it with your broth into a soup.

One bottle of dried ginger contains around 46 grams, which means it will last you anywhere 23-80 days. It can be found at any health food store.

We suggest purchasing an organic brand likely Simply Organic or Spicely because you'll want to ensure it hasn't been heated above 85 degrees Fahrenheit so that it retains its potency.

The cost is around $6/bottle (for organic), which means anyone can consume this cancer-fighting compound on a regular basis. We all have stressed cells in our body that can turn into cancer so this is a most powerful prevention on a daily basis.
References and Appendix: Extrinsic Factors
Recent research has highlighted a strong correlation between tissue-specific cancer risk and the lifetime number of tissue-specific stem-cell divisions. Whether such correlation implies a high unavoidable intrinsic cancer risk has become a key public health debate with the dissemination of the 'bad luck' hypothesis. Here we provide evidence that intrinsic risk factors contribute only modestly (less than ~10-30% of lifetime risk) to cancer development. First, we demonstrate that the correlation between stem-cell division and cancer risk does not distinguish between the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. We then show that intrinsic risk is better estimated by the lower bound risk controlling for total stem-cell divisions. Finally, we show that the rates of endogenous mutation accumulation by intrinsic processes are not sufficient to account for the observed cancer risks. Collectively, we conclude that cancer risk is heavily influenced by extrinsic factors. These results are important for strategizing cancer prevention, research and public health.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26675728 1/3 of all cancers are diet-related
The evidence indicates that of all cancer-related deaths, almost 25-30% are due to tobacco, as many as 30-35% are linked to diet, about 15-20% are due to infections, and the remaining percentage are due to other factors like radiation, stress, physical activity, environmental pollutants, etc.

The most abundant gingerol found in ginger is 6-gingerol, but there are also smaller quantities of analogs such as 8-gingerol and 10-gingerol. All gingerol compounds have a similar structure and behave very similarly in the body, but their potency can vary slightly.

6-Shogaol, a dehydrated form of 6-gingerol, is a minor component in ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) and has recently been reported to have more potent bioactivity than 6-gingerol. Taken together, the current study shows for the first time that a maximized production of 6-shogaol can be achieved during practical drying and extraction process of ginger by increasing both drying and extracting temperatures.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=10.3746%2Fpnf.2012.17.2.166
6-Shogaol has exhibited the most potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can be attributed to the presence of alpha, beta-unsaturated ketone moiety. The carbon chain length has also played a significant role in making 10-gingerol as the most potent among all the gingerols. This study justifies the use of dry ginger in traditional systems of medicine.

Cristina Cuomo has no regrets about taking that headline-making bleach bath. In fact, it was quite soothing.

Cristina and husband Chris Cuomo were some of the most prominent faces to come forward with their COVID-19 diagnoses at the beginning of the pandemic. While the CNN anchor kept viewers updated on Cuomo Prime Time, Cristina documented her experience on the , the wellness publication she launched in 2017.

The writer detailed home remedies she was using to combat the virus, like vitamins, drinking a "liver-cleansing" potion and taking "a type of homeopathic bath." But Cristina's post about that water-and-dilute sodium hypochlorite bath - aka a bleach bath - just happened to be published the same week President Donald Trump suggested a disinfectant injection could kill the virus in "one minute."

"The media was just like, 'Oh, this bleach bath thing is going gangbusters! Chris Cuomo's wife is recommending it,'" Cristina recalled to , the writer noting she's "aghast."

"A) it's mostly politically motivated journalists," Cristina continued. "And B), it's all about bait, click."

Purist shares a lot of similarities to Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop and it invites similar criticism, too. Cristina's posts are accompanied by disclaimers warning readers to consult a doctor or naturopath before taking any of her advice, but she said it's ironic people were upset over the bleach bath.

"Actually," she told Elle with a "mischievous" smile, "It was the only science-backed thing I wrote about."

While the CDC isn't recommending people with COVID-19 take bleach baths, it's true that some places, like the Mayo Clinic, found small amounts of bleach added to water can help lessen symptoms for some inflammatory skin conditions. But it won't cure a virus and doctors have warned people against taking Clorox baths. Cristina's "Energy Medicine physician" is the one who suggested she try the bath to help oxygenate her skin and relieve inflammation.

"After [the] recommended 20 minutes, my skin was a little flushed (I did not submerge my shoulders, neck or head), and I felt relaxed and tired," Cristina wrote on the Purist. "I rinsed off with a cool shower. I experienced no negative side effects. I found it soothing for my skin."

When asked what Chris thinks about her adventures in wellness, Christina laughed, "I don't know, you'll have to ask him that!" She added, "I would say that he believes in the things that he sees to be efficacious."

Chris answered that question via email - without actually answering the question.

"Cristina is guileless," he replied. "That is very rare these days. She has no hidden agenda. She doesn't play people. What she wants most often is to help people be more healthy; better lifestyles; happier kids, more content spirits. And she wants the kids and me to feel more loved and supported. And we do."

As for how life has changed since contracting the virus, Cristina shared that people typically respond in two ways.

"There's two schools of thought. The first is: OK, you've had coronavirus. You're the most popular person in the room," she explained. "But then there's the people who don't really understand what's going on. To them, it's a scarlet letter. Oh, you've had the virus? Stay away from me. I didn't expect that."

After her recovery, Cristina said she tested positive, then negative, then positive again for COVID-19 antibodies. It's still unknown what that even means in regards to immunity.

"No one really knows anything," Cristina added.

Spotify aired Joe Rogan's recent podcast touting ivermectin as part of his COVID-19 recovery.

The FDA and CDC have issued warnings against using the antiparasitic drug to treat COVID-19.

Rogan has a history of making explosive comments on his podcast.

Spotify aired Joe Rogan's podcast touting ivermectin as part of his COVID-19 treatment, despite the Food and Drug Association (FDA) calling the drug "dangerous" in large doses and warning people not to use it to treat the disease.

On September 1, the "Joe Rogan Experience" host and UFC commentator drew backlash for announcing in an Instagram video that he had been diagnosed with COVID-19 and was using the antiparasitic drug ivermectin to treat the illness.

"We immediately threw the kitchen sink at [the illness], all kinds of meds," Rogan said in the Instagram clip, which has amassed over 6.5 million views. Rogan has over 13 million followers on the platform.

He then listed a number of drugs, including ivermectin, monoclonal antibodies, an antibiotic, and a steroid, that he took to treat his diagnosis.

A post shared by Joe Rogan (@joerogan)

The FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) both issued warnings about the dangers of using ivermectin, which is commonly used as a horse dewormer and has been adopted by people trying to self-treat coronavirus infections. The drug has been approved to treat some conditions in humans, like head lice, but COVID-19 is not one of them.

Ivermectin-related calls to poison control centers have increased during the pandemic, especially in summer 2021, when the drug made headlines. The dewormer can be toxic in large quantities, causing overdose symptoms including hallucinations, blurred vision, and even seizures.

On Tuesday's new podcast episode, which aired on Spotify, Rogan spoke out against negative news coverage of the announcement and defended his use of ivermectin.

"Bro, do I have to sue CNN? They're making shit up," Rogan said on the podcast, appearing to reference CNN coverage criticizing his Instagram statement. Later in the episode, Rogan specifically mentioned CNN anchor Jim Acosta as someone who criticized his ivermectin use, although Insider was not able to verify whether Acosta did a segment on the podcast host.

"I literally got [the ivermectin] from a doctor. It's an American company. They won the Nobel Prize in 2015 for use in human beings," Rogan said on the podcast.

The scientists who discovered ivermectin did win a Nobel Prize in 2015 - for reducing the incidence of the parasitic diseases ivermectin is meant to treat.

Some people have obtained off-label prescriptions for ivermectin from doctors, with dispensed prescriptions increasing up to 24-fold from pre-pandemic times.

Others have found creative ways to self-medicate. A recent CDC report described two ivermectin-related hospitalizations: one patient consumed injectable ivermectin meant for horses, and the other took ivermectin tablets of unknown strength purchased online.

Taking doses meant for large animals increases the risk of overdose and unpleasant side effects. Again, no health agency recommends ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19.

Rogan, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment, has a long history of sparking outrage for making explosive remarks on his podcast. In an April episode of the podcast, Rogan spread misinformation about COVID-19 and discouraged young people from getting the vaccine, although he later recanted his remarks, as Insider previously reported.

In a September 2020 podcast segment, Rogan made transphobic comments about Caitlyn Jenner, falsely speculating that living with the Kardashian women somehow influenced her identity as a transgender woman.

Journalist Matt Flegenheimer called Rogan "one of the most consumed media products" in the world and someone who has "the power to shape tastes, politics, medical decisions" in an article for The New York Times in July.

In May 2020, Rogan inked an estimated $100 million deal with Spotify to exclusively stream "The Joe Rogan Experience" on the streaming platform, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The show has ranked as the most popular podcast every month since it arrived on the streaming platform in September 2020, a spokesperson for the company previously told Insider.

A Spotify representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The fitness world is sadly packed with bad advice that helps people lose 10 pounds quick by starving their clients and destroying their joints and bodies by overworking them until they finally give up and pack on even more weight than when they started.

That's not what we wanted for our families, our friends, or ourselves and we had a feeling there were lots of men and women who would agree.

Turns out...we were right....
