The parent bought MMS from an online manufacturer and, according to the report, spoke with the apparent owner of the company about how to use MMS.
My daughter could have died!!! How is he still selling this then? Around the time of the report, Genesis and Humble generated substantial national media attention. A year later, state prosecutors in Texas successfully sued an affiliate of Genesis, as well, to block the sale of MMS.
When asked, the FDA declined to comment on why Genesis and Humble were able to keep promoting and selling MMS, despite the import alert and serious adverse event reports. The example of MMS and Genesis is not the only one in which the FDA failed to act to correct violations that put consumer safety at risk.
A study published in the journal JAMA Open Network found the agency had, between and , tested and detected unapproved drug ingredients in dietary supplements, a violation of federal law.

Got a tip? Both sodium chlorite and chlorine dioxide are the active ingredients in disinfectants and have additional industrial uses. They are not meant to be swallowed by people. Drinking any of these chlorine dioxide products can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and symptoms of severe dehydration.
Some product labels claim that vomiting and diarrhea are common after ingesting the product. They even maintain that such reactions are evidence that the product is working. That claim is false. Moreover, in general, the more concentrated the product, the more severe the reactions.
