Closed Prevent false cures for autism being sold to people in the UK

Closed on

I am concerned about the number of parents being tricked into giving their children bleach solutions, often marketed as MMS (Miracle Mineral solutions), as an autism cure. It can lead to severe injuries or death. I urge the government to prevent the sale of false cures.

Autism cannot be cured and this practice is seeing serious injuries to children, and may result in deaths. Turps and bleach have their place as cleaners, but as doctors have stated "Chlorine dioxide causes abdominal cramps, vomiting and diarrhoea. If you drink it on a long-term basis it causes inflammation of your gut-lining, stomach, oesophagus and intestines and eventually death" https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/brit-kids-forced-drink-bleach-11924623
