Friendly reminder that the bleach-cures-all method is NOT new and has it’s roots in dangerous “autism treatments” using a solution touted by scam artists called MMS, primarily composed of an industrial bleaching agent.

For many complex reasons, including lack of access to needed supports and straight misinformation/predatory grifters, parents/caregivers have been sold the false, dangerous idea that giving bleach enemas to their children will kill parasites & cleanse, systems and “cure” autism.

Are People Attempting to Cure Their Children's Autism with Bleach Enemas?

A “church” falsely claimed that a form of industrial bleach considered a “sacrament” can cure virtually any disease known to man, including autism.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of many autistic and otherwise disabled advocates, some attention has finally been paid to this horrifically abusive practice — seeing it advanced by the person who currently occupies the white house platform is terrifying.

Tl;dr: Do not, under any circumstances ingest bleach.

Do not act upon medical advice you found online.

Listen to the advice of trained medical professionals.

Be vigilant - guard yourself against people who claim to have the “answer” & seek profit/fame in difficult times.

Things are scary right now - there is no silver bullet.

If this was a simple problem with a simple solution we would have done it already.

It’s not. Anyone acting as if they have a quick fix is is lying to you.

We have to endure, fight, and protect one another - together.
