What do the FDA, CDC, EPA, and NASA have to say about Chlorine Dioxide Harmful Effects

With the warnings from mostly the FDA, a little from the CDC and EPA, what are the chlorine dioxide harmful effects?

Chlorine Dioxide Harmful Effects

What does the FDA say about chlorine dioxide or MMS?

Since 2010, the FDA has warned consumers about the dangers of Miracle or Master Mineral Solution, Miracle Mineral Supplement, MMS, Chlorine Dioxide (CD) Protocol, Water Purification Solution (WPS) and other similar products.

1. Consumers should not purchase or drink the product
2. When mixed becomes a dangerous bleach
3. Has caused serious potentially life-threatening side effects
4. Chlorine dioxide is a powerful bleaching agent

FDA reports side effects include

• • Severe vomiting
  • Severe diarrhea
  • Life-threatening low blood pressure
  • Dehydration
  • Acute liver failure

The FDA encourages consumers to talk to a health care professional about treating medical conditions or diseases. Anyone who has ingested MMS with any ill effect should seek immediate medical attention and report to the FDA’s MedWatch Safety Information program as soon as possible at 800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm.

What does the CDC say about chlorine dioxide or MMS?

• • Jim Humble is a cult leader (See: Jim Humble’s book)
  • MMS is a bleach and dangerous for consumption
  • Chlorine dioxide is a disinfecting agent used industrially
  • The oxidizing effect of CD ends up denaturing organic compounds
  • Promoters of MMS contend that it is a valid treatment for,
    • Various unrelated diseases
    • Autism spectrum disorder
    • Neoplasms
    • Hepatitis, and
    • HIV/AIDS

MMS should not be used in treating any illness, since there is no evidence of its efficacy,

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received reports of adverse events caused by these products, including respiratory failure due to methemoglobinemia, cardiac arrhythmia due to prolongation of the QT interval, hypotension due to hydro-electrolyte imbalance, acute liver failure, hemolytic anemia, vomiting, and severe acute diarrhea.

What does the EPA say about chlorine dioxide or MMS?

The Environmental Protections Agency (EPA) is well acquainted with chlorine dioxide as it has approved its use for

1. 1. Disinfectant and sanitizer (1967)
   2. Sterilizer (1988)
   3. Water purifying agent (2004)
   4. Purification of surface water (2006)
   5. Antimicrobial (2006)
   6. Municipal water treatment facilities (2008)
   7. Paper mill pulp treatment (2016)
   8. Approved as hard surface disinfectant for SARS-CoV-2 (2020)
   9. Food additive (2020)
   10. Clinical trial to treat COVID-19 (2021)

Note: In 2006 the EPA registered chlorine dioxide for the purposes of

• Purification of surface water (4 above) at concentrations up to 4 ppm, is utilized by backpackers and emergency management personnel who obtain surface water from lakes or streams and purify it to create safe drinking water (See: Water purification drops), and
• The EPA has registered ClO2 as an antimicrobial (5 above) due to its ability to eliminate microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites from surface water, thereby rendering it safe to drink.

According to the EPA, oral ingestion of low doses of aqueous ClO2 in drinking water is not associated with significant adverse effects (EPA September 2020). In fact, human studies have found no adverse effects in individuals who consume drinking water from municipal water treatment plants that use ClO2 as a disinfectant (Michael et al., 1981; Tuthill et al., 1982).

What does the NASA say about chlorine dioxide or MMS?

“Based upon its safety, environmental friendliness, affordability, and ability to destroy a wide range of microorganisms, ClO2 has been termed the ‘ideal biocide’ (Simpson et al., 1993) and a ‘universal antidote’.” (NASA, 1988).
