Forcing children to drink lethal chemicals
EX-DRUGGIE EXPERT’ MY WAR ON QUACKS
bishop” Jim Humble, an ex-Scientologist, claims MMS cures just about every disease and disorder, including autism.
His disciple Kerri Rivera, who claims to have “healed” her autistic son, recommends giving children one drop of MMS in eight ounces of water a day before building up to eight hourly doses.
She then advocates bleach enemas “no less than once every other day”.
She says: “You may need to do them more often, particularly if you see parasites coming out.”
Misguided parents say their children stop autistic behaviours such as rocking and chewing – but campaigners say this is out of fear when the “treatment” is inflicted on them.
Horrified British GP Dr Foster, who runs a private practice at the Spire Parkway Hospital in Solihull, West Midlands, said: “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. At some stage something pops and then you can bleed to death.
“Your gut will excrete whatever has just been shed from having this irritant, and that’s likely what parents are seeing come A DROP-OUT hippy who last week admitted killing his pregnant girlfriend in a road crash is peddling turpentine treatment for children.
Danny Glass, 29, who is not known to have any medical background, claims to have used it on kids all over the world “through my own expertise and knowledge on the subject”.
On YouTube, he promises people who ingest turps can live a “sickness and disease-free” life before adding a link to his own website which clicks through to Amazon sales of the oil.
Yet the oil he promotes carries an Amazon warning “for external use only”.
His sacredpurity website also offers his “health coaching” programme for around £70 for an hour long Skype session.
Glass, from Margate, Kent, tells YouTube followers: “It’s going to be very, very rare for MUM Emma Dalmayne has led a fouryear campaign against MMS after being left horrified by the practice.
The mother of six, who has five children with autism, joined forces with Fiona O’Leary to infiltrate closed Facebook accounts.
Emma, 41, of south-east London, and Fiona, from Dublin, have reported a string of parents in Britain and America who inflict the toxic “cure” on kids.
Emma, pictured with son Damien, 10, and daughter r Skylar, five, said: “When I first st read about MMS I didn’t think nk it possible that parents rents would feed their r own children a bleach solution – let alone give them enemas with it.
“I felt disgusted and sickened.”
Emma, who out. They might make claims the doses are so small that it’s not like giving proper industrial bleach. But no dose is safe.”
The twisted treatment is now coming under scrutiny of authorities in the UK.
The Autism Commission, made up of MPs and campaigners, is expected to any children to get any symptoms because I haven’t seen it so far, but someone may prove me wrong in the near future.” Glass tells parents to start his “protocol” slowly, starting off with three drops, before adding: “It’s such a small dose that for them to get a reaction would be almost impossible.” He warned if children suffered sideeffects such as nausea, headache, fatigue and drowsiness after their first dose then they shouldn’t be given another the same day. Glass, who lives in Thailand, admitted causing death by reckless driving after his sixmonths pregnant girlfriend Sophie Anderson was killed when his scooter collided with a truck in Phuket. He was given a two-year suspended sentence last week and said he was “over the moon” about it. Sophie, from Blackpool, hit the headlines herself last year when she put a video online of her breastfeeding her five-year-old son. has written two books on autism and runs a support group, believes the Government must do more to crack down on the practice. “MMS is a bleach and it’s making children sick,” she says. “Women are posting about how their children are vomiting and pain but take it as a sign the parasites are being purged. They call it the herxheimer reaction. “The children stop p a lot of the behaviours associated with autism, rocking or scr screaming, and these paren parents think they have been bee cured. “But th they are simply too scared to do it any more. “If t this was happ happening to nonaut autistic children the there would be an o outcry but because they are autistic everyone turns a blind eye.” include recommendations to tighten the law surrounding so-called cures.
Commission chair Barry Sheerman, MP for Huddersfield, who has a 10-year-old autistic grandson, said: “We have heard from parents very concerned about MMS.
“There is a very large, really unscrupulous group of people out there who take advantage of vulnerable families.”
Police have probed cases in East Yorkshire, Cheshire, Luton, Dover, North London and Northern Ireland.
In Belfast, a specialist in alternative medicine, Dr Finbar Magee, was suspended by the General Medical Council over his use of MMS for autism.
A spokesman for the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency said: “MMS contains sodium chlorite which is bleach. It has no proven, or conceivable health benefit.”
The Food Standards Agency has also warned against its use.
