The Australian chapter of an international church selling and promoting bleach as a cure for COVID-19 has been issued infringement notices totalling $151,200. The Genesis II Church of Health and Healing has been claiming chlorine dioxide is a “miracle cure”.
For years it has sold the industrial bleach as Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS), stating it can cure things like autism, acne, cancer, diabetes and now COVID-19. MMS is not approved for human consumption in Australia.
It is being sold as “water purification drops” on the website of the Australian chapter of the church, MMS Australia.
Associate Professor Ken Harvey, an expert in public health from Monash University, has been lobbying the TGA to ban the sale of MMS in Australia for the past 10 years. “It is dangerous,” Associate Professor Harvey told 7.30. “Deaths have occurred, serious admissions to hospital from this particular substance.”
Associate Professor Harvey said while it was good to see the TGA crack down on MMS Australia today, the infringement notices did not go far enough.
“Their website [MMS Australia] is still promoting and selling these products albeit with a disclaimer that these products are ‘church sacraments’ and not therapeutic goods,” he said.
