FDA Media Claims Exposed: Chlorine Dioxide Is Not Dangerous!

For years, a war has been quietly raging—not with bombs or bullets, but with words, fear, and misinformation. At the heart of the controversy? A simple compound called chlorine dioxide. Once praised for its remarkable ability to disinfect municipal water supplies and sterilize surgical equipment, chlorine dioxide has now been smeared by regulatory agencies led by the FDA and media outlets that claim it is a “toxic bleach” unfit for human consumption. Those who advocate for its careful use—like Jim Humble and other alternative health practitioners—have been ridiculed, silenced, and in some cases, criminalized.

But is this really about public safety, or is it about controlling public opinion, health decisions, and spending?

Fact-checking the “Fact Checkers,” Debunking the Dangerous Claims About Chlorine Dioxide, Exposing the FDA and Their Blind Parrots: Mainstream Media

Let’s explore the most common claims made against chlorine dioxide and counter them with evidence, logic, and a dose of healthy skepticism.

🚨 CLAIM #1: “Chlorine dioxide is the same as common laundry bleach.”

✅ COUNTERPOINT:

Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) is not sodium hypochlorite (household bleach). The chemistry and reaction are different, and most importantly, it’s selective oxidation that targets harmful pathogens while sparing healthy tissue when used correctly.

In fact, the EPA has approved chlorine dioxide for public drinking water disinfection, and WHO guidelines allow up to 0.8 ppm in water. If it’s safe enough for public water systems, why the hysteria about a few drops in distilled water?

💰 CLAIM #2: “The chlorine dioxide movement is a scam to exploit the vulnerable.”

✅ COUNTERPOINT:

That’s a lazy accusation. Many advocates, including Jim Humble, have never profited from the sale of chlorine dioxide. His books are low-cost or free, and many who promote chlorine dioxide don’t sell anything—they just share their experience.

Contrast this with Big Pharma, which earns billions selling symptom-management drugs—often with deadly side effects. Who’s exploiting whom?

⚠️ CLAIM #3: “Chlorine dioxide can cause death and severe injury.”

✅ COUNTERPOINT:

The dose makes the poison. Nearly all substances—including water, oxygen, and salt—are dangerous in excess.

The media often highlights rare cases of overdose or improper use, not typical experiences. The safe and commonly recommended dosage of chlorine dioxide for personal health is 1 to 3 drops of activated solution in 4 to 8 oz of distilled water, with gradual increase as tolerated.

🧪 CLAIM #4: “It’s not scientifically proven to treat or cure anything.”

✅ COUNTERPOINT:

There are peer-reviewed studies showing chlorine dioxide’s efficacy in killing bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and biofilms. However, since it’s not patentable, there’s little financial incentive to fund large-scale clinical trials.

Dozens of independent researchers and anecdotal reports, especially from South America, Africa, and rural communities, document symptom improvement in conditions ranging from malaria to Lyme disease to digestive issues.

📵 CLAIM #5: “People who promote chlorine dioxide are spreading medical misinformation.”

✅ COUNTERPOINT:

Labeling alternative thinkers as “misinformation spreaders” is a modern form of censorship. Information isn’t misinformation just because it doesn’t align with government or pharmaceutical talking points.

Jim Humble, Kerri Rivera, Andreas Kalcker, and others have shared real protocols and case studies—not hype or fraud. Suppression of discussion does not equal scientific consensus.

👮 CLAIM #6: “Selling or using chlorine dioxide is illegal.”

✅ COUNTERPOINT:

It is not illegal to possess or use chlorine dioxide for personal use in the United States. It is sold legally for water purification and disinfecting surfaces. However, promoting it as a cure for disease has drawn scrutiny and led to aggressive FDA actions.

So what’s really illegal? Free speech about a possible remedy? Or just going against the grain?

🛑 CLAIM #7: “Chlorine dioxide has no place in medicine.”

✅ COUNTERPOINT:

Then why is it already used in hospital sterilization, endoscope disinfection, food sanitation, and toothpaste and mouthwash?

Its proven ability to destroy bacteria, viruses, and spores has made it a trusted tool in hygiene and sanitation for decades. The leap to exploring its internal use is not far-fetched—it’s just outside the FDA’s comfort zone of patented drugs.

🧠 CLAIM #8: “There’s no reason to question the FDA’s stance.”

✅ COUNTERPOINT:

Seriously?

The FDA has a long history of protecting industry interests over public health. Consider:

Its approval of opioids has led to the current addiction crisis.
The continued approval of aspartame, despite multiple studies showing neurological risks.
The aggressive persecution of natural healers who threaten pharmaceutical profits.

If the FDA says “don’t do it,” maybe it’s time to start asking why.

🧍‍♂️ CLAIM #9: “Users of chlorine dioxide are just anti-vaxxers or conspiracy theorists.”

✅ COUNTERPOINT:

That’s a convenient stereotype to discredit legitimate personal health experiences. Many who use chlorine dioxide:

Are not anti-vaccine but pro-informed consent.
Are not conspiracy theorists but critical thinkers.
Are often those for whom conventional medicine has failed and who found unexpected results by thinking outside the box.

🧬 CLAIM #10: “If chlorine dioxide really worked, doctors would use it.”

✅ COUNTERPOINT:

Many doctors have used it quietly. But publicizing their success puts their licenses at risk.

Moreover, chlorine dioxide can’t be patented. That means no billion-dollar profits, no funding for clinical trials, and no incentives for pharmaceutical companies to endorse it.

Medicine is a business. Just because it’s not mainstream doesn’t mean it’s not effective.

🔍 A Closer Look at Truth, Power, and Public Control

If this much energy is spent to discredit a low-cost, unpatentable, potentially life-saving substance, what else might the public be misled about?

Is it really about safety, or keeping people on prescription drugs for life?
Is this censorship really protecting the public, or ensuring pharmaceutical monopoly?
If chlorine dioxide challenges the system this deeply, maybe it’s not the compound that’s dangerous, but the truth it represents.

💡 The Bigger Picture: What Else Are We Being Misled About?

This isn’t just about chlorine dioxide.

This is about:

The freedom to research.
The right to choose your own path to healing.
The abuse of regulatory power to shape public perception and steer money toward pharmaceuticals.

The demonization of chlorine dioxide is just one example in a much larger war against independent thinking, medical freedom, and natural health.

Question Everything

It’s time to wake up, ask questions, and follow your own path.

The truth has always been there, quietly waiting for those brave enough to look past the noise.

Sodium Chlorite to Chlorine Dioxide

With all the talk about chlorine dioxide, you might like to know that in most cases, creating a chlorine dioxide solution is done on-site. Doing so is a two-part process, where you mix two components, the first sodium chlorite, and the other an acid activator to create activated chlorine dioxide. When sodium chlorite is mixed with an acid activator, that is when it becomes chlorine dioxide, the most powerful pathogen killer.

An excellent example of this mixing is easily observed by watching an outdoorsman preparing to have a drink of surface water found while out in the field. The two-part travel kit used by hikers, campers, and travelers of all kinds is safe and convenient. When sodium chlorine and the acid activator are kept separate, they can be stored almost indefinitely.

Once you combine them, they have an extremely short shelf life, so it is best to mix what you need on-site when you need it. The process requires mixing one drop of sodium chlorite with one drop of acid activator and swirling it in a glass. It is suggested to use a glass container or PET Plastic, anything but metal as it interacts with the chlorine dioxide, like a separate shot glass or the drinking glass that you intend to use. Swirl the two drops together and allow them to combine. You will notice them turning amber in color and you will be able to detect a chlorine-like odor as the activation takes place. Allow activating for 40 seconds or more.

Now, you can pour the activated drops from the shot glass into the glass of water that you want to drink or pour the water that you intend to drink into the glass with the activated drops in the bottom of the glass. Swirl and allow to set for three to four minutes. Swirl again, and your water will be free of pathogens and safe to drink.

When you buy a two-part kit, it comes with a small manual, and instructions will be printed on the bottle as well.

Chlorine Dioxide Safe for Human Consumption

The question often asked, “Is chlorine dioxide safe for human consumption?” is inspired by a campaign launched by the FDA to defeat the efforts of an alleged snake oil salesman attempting to defraud people into thinking that chlorine dioxide water treatment drops were a cure-all for nearly any disease. The anti-fraud campaign was fueled with fear and equated putting a drop of chlorine dioxide into a glass of water with drinking bleach. It can be confusing.

Because people with serious health conditions were being coerced by these individuals to take the water purification drops to cure themselves of disease, the FDA flat-out stated that chlorine dioxide was not safe to drink (which, of course, it is not safe to drink straight, just like Clorox would be unsafe to drink straight) and was not intended for human consumption.

Chlorine Dioxide Safe to Use as Water Purification Drops

When the military, explorers, outdoorsmen, hikers, and campers who used the water purification drops in the field heard the reports from the FDA, they became curious. They checked it out and quickly were able to find that the FDA had not rescinded its approval for using chlorine dioxide for treating water in the field nor in the treatment of municipal water for public distribution and drinking, which would clearly imply consumption.

Church Promotes Chlorine Dioxide as a Cure

A little more digging would uncover a church’s proliferation of this idea that chlorine dioxide could pretty much cure you of anything that ails you. They were led by a minister by the name of Jim Humble who had discovered the healing effects of chlorine dioxide by accident while on a mining expedition in South American jungles. He experimented on himself, his family, and church member volunteers, who all supported his claims of the healing power of chlorine dioxide.

The water purification drops were nicknamed MMS, which is short for Master Mineral Solution, in honor of the miraculous results reported by church members. The substance was declared to be a church sacrament. Jim Humble also released a book, The Master Mineral Solution of the Third Millennium, which delineates his findings and recommended protocols. The word spread like wildfire, that was until the fire was extinguished by the efforts of the FDA to shut the church down.

Enter Chlorine Dioxide and COVID-19

Then came the coronavirus in late 2019, which quickly grew into the COVID-19 pandemic throughout the USA in 2020. One of Humble’s enthusiastic church members and his family began proclaiming that Humble’s MMS could wipe out the coronavirus and protect people from COVID-19.

FDA Cease and Desist

In April 2020, the FDA issued an order insisting they stop promoting the lies about something as poisonous as chlorine dioxide that was as dangerous as drinking bleach as a potential treatment for the coronavirus.

The family was so convinced that chlorine dioxide could indeed help people struggling and afraid of losing their lives to the epidemic that they ignored the order and continued to spread the news.

Arrested for Chlorine Dioxide

On July 9, 2020, brothers Jordan and John Grenon were arrested and on August 11, 2020, brother Joseph and their father Mark Grenon were placed under arrest for failure to comply, with a laundry list of other offenses.

The Gewnon family is currently being held in custody.

What Does the FDA Say?

The FDA says that MMS (chlorine dioxide) can be fatal and is compared to drinking bleach. The April injunction was based on reports that people required hospitalization, developed life-threatening conditions, and died after drinking MMS.

Prosecutors alleged at least seven Americans have died from using MMS/chlorine dioxide. Authorities also said the MMS/chlorine dioxide caused dangerous reactions such as vomiting, diarrhea, and life-threatening low blood pressure.

The FDA issued a notice urging anyone drinking MMS or similar products to “STOP NOW.”

Paris Humble

Paris Humble, author of Healthy Alternative Chlorine Dioxide Uses Non-pharmacological Health Restoration, and daughter of the church founder, Jim Humble, puts the controversy over chlorine dioxide in proper perspective. She says,

“Chlorine does not cure anything. It never did. What it does is to kill the harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that take up residence inside the body. These are what is keeping your body from being able to do what it does best, to heal itself.”
