MMS, or Miracle Mineral Solution, is a solution that contains sodium chlorite, which is often promoted as a treatment for various health conditions. It is typically mixed with citric acid to create chlorine dioxide, a chemical that is used in water treatment and bleaching. Proponents claim that MMS can cure diseases, including malaria and HIV, but these claims lack scientific support.
Health authorities, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), warn against the use of MMS due to potential health risks. Consuming MMS can lead to serious side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It is important to consult a healthcare professional before considering any alternative treatments.
