A Detailed Rebuttal To Wikipedia's Miracle Mineral Entry
We recently read Wikipedia's entry on MMS and it enraged us so much that we have written a detailed rebuttal to it and put a link to it on our homepage. There are times to be quiet and times to speak up, and this is a fine occasion to speak up.
Quote: "…there is no scientific ground for any of these claims, and this "miracle product" can therefore be seen as quackery."
Mirriam Webster deinfes a quack as "a person who pretends, professionally or publicly, to skill, knowledge, or qualifications he or she does not possess; a charlatan."
Wikipedia, what qualifications does the MMS industry need in order to prove that our products do what we say they do? MMS is an oxidizer, nothing more, nothing less. Do the DOZENS of scientific studies in the miracle mineral literature mean nothing? These are doctors and scientists publishing highly repeatable data sets from controlled tests using MMS in a variety of ways. Is that not good enough? And do people's experiences with the products mean nothing?
There is no mystery to the science of oxidation. What exactly is Wikipedia looking for that the MMS industry hasn't provided, so that we're not practicing 'quackery'?
Or perhaps, Wikipedia, you should edit your entry on bleach. How about the part where you say, and I quote, "Many bleaches have strong bacterial properties, and are used for disinfecting and sterilizing."
Right, just like chlorine dioxide, the active ingredient in MMS. So please add to the end of your statement on bleach: "There is no scientific ground for any of these claims, and this "bleach product" can therefore be seen as quackery."
Exactly who put you in charge of labeling things 'quackery', Wikipedia?
Quote: "Sodium chlorite is a strong oxidant and can therefore be expected to cause clinical symptoms similar to the well-known sodium chlorate…"
First of all, Wikipedia is talking about these compounds as if they're diseases. Compounds don't have 'clinical symptoms', Wikipedia. That's called misdirection.
Second, Wikipedia wants us to believe that two chemicals are similar, so they automotically cause similar 'clinical symptoms'?
So if Wikipedia is right, let's test another pair of related compounds H20 and H202. Wikipedia wants us to believe that the 'clinical symptoms' of water are similar to the 'clinical symptoms' of hydrogen peroxide? The effects of a half gallon of H20 are not even close to similar to the effects of a half gallon of H202. Not even close. You are wrong, Wikipedia.
Quote: "A dosage of 10-15 grams of sodium chlorate can be lethal." (emphasis mine)
That is also misdirection. Wikipedia has a separate entry on sodium chlorate elsewhere on your site. This statement has NOTHING to do with the entry on Miracle Mineral Supplement. It is irrelevant and misleading. It's interesting that Wikipedia's article on sodium chlorate doesn't even mention this little fact that it slipped in to the MMS entry.
Quote: "Recent studies by the EMEA have confirmed that the clinical symptomatology is very similar to that caused by sodium chlorate in rats, mice, rabbits and green monkeys."
Pure deception, Wikipedia. I read the reference attached to this statement. You don't count on people reading the reference, but I did.
Wikipedia calls MMS quackery, and yet the study Wikipedia links to for evidence of this statement is a study by an association of veterinarians who use sodium chlorite and chlorine dioxide as a standard antimicrobial on cattle.
Using chlorine dioxide to remove pathogens from the environments of large mammals…where have we heard this before?
It's called MMS.
Quote: "It seems to confirm that the toxicity is equal to sodium chlorate."
There are a lot of things that "seem to be" which simply aren't so. 'Seeming to confirm' does nothing for your argument, Wikipedia. Until your statements are backed up with scientific data showing a symptomatic relationship between the toxicities of each compound, please keep your suppositions to yourself because they're not facts and they mean nothing.
Quote: "From the analogy with sodium chlorate…"
Again, Wikipedia, you're using analogies, not evidence.
Quote: "...even small amounts of about 1 gram can be expected to cause nausea, vomiting and even life threatening hemolysis in Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase deficient persons."
Wikipedia is using scary sounding language to convince people that MMS is dangerous. Everything can be dangerous if it's not used properly. But first of all, let's point out that this last quote is really just an analogy based on an assumption. Wikipedia provides absolutely no scientific evidence to support it.
Using Wikipedia's skewed logic, here is my counter-example:
I assume that hydrogen peroxide has similar 'clinical symptoms' to water. I then 'seem to confirm' that the toxicity of water is equal to the toxicity of hydrogen peroxide. Now using this 'analogy,' I now 'expect' that one cup of water will give me the same 'clinical symptoms' as one cup of pure hydrogen peroxide.
Wrong again, Wikipedia.
A few more points:
According to official numbers, about 800,000 people in the United States die every year in the hands of doctors. 800,000! And guess what? This represents at most 20% of all such cases every year because most cases are not reported!
That means that if every case was reported it could be as high as FOUR MILLION DEATHS PER YEAR. FOUR MILLION.
Wikipedia does not mention this anywhere on their site, not even in their entry on iatrogenesis, which is the proper name for medical treament related deaths. In fact, Wikipedia lies in their iatrogenesis entry and say that the real numbers are just slightly higher than the ones they report, which are themselves much too low to be taken seriously.
Now who's the quack, here?
I am not against doctors or traditional medicine. It has is place in the world like everything else. There are fine doctors all over the world doing great work for the betterment of humanity. But Wikipedia has a habit of marginalizing anything that does not fit in to their pin-hole world.
32,691 people in the United States DIED from poisoning in 2005.
41,611 people in the United States DIED from automobile crashes in 19993. It's much more by now.
EVERYTHING can be dangerous. Nuts. Bees. Some people are even allergic to air and water.
Let me quote you, Wikipedia, from your entry on water toxicity: "Water intoxication…is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions…Water can be considered a poison when super-concentrated just like any other substance." (emphasis mine)
Should we not drink water, Wikipedia, because it is 'potentially fatal'?
We do not endorse or publish material condoning people using MMS internally because we do not sell a food, drug, or supplement. We sell oxidizer products. Period. We present our products as exactly what they are: sodium chlorite in water and citric acid crystals. What people do with them, we simply cannot control. It's called freedom of choice.
People ingest products that are used for other purposes every day.
Uses for salt: putting out grease fires, soothing bee stings, killing poison ivy, keeping windows frost-free, removing stains from dishes, killing weeds.
Uses for baking soda: putting out grease fires, removing grease stains, deodorant, cleaning furniture, repelling rain from windshields.
We're not ignorant of the ways in which people use MMS. We know that people use MMS internally. Can we stop that? No. We don't recommend it because we are wading through all of the red tape that surrounds practically everything that is helpful, profitable, or interesting for all of humanity, and MMS is one such thing.
That is why we are OSHA/DOT trained. That is why we use approved formula measurements. That is why we waterproof our labels so they never come off or fade, and which spell out clearly what our customers should do if they have questions about their health when using MMS.
Does the fact that bleach is toxic stop companies from selling it or people from using it? Does the fact that automobiles are dangerous prevent car companies from selling cars or people from driving them? No.
And if you want to talk about products that are dangerous when used internally, let's look at a few products officially approved by our government.
Gardasil had killed 47 women as of the summer 2009, and the vaccine has been proven ineffective. Over 10,000 reports of adverse effects have been recorded.
The FDA approved the use of aspartame as a food sweetener. Aspartame breaks down into formic acid (rat poison), formaldehyde (embalming dead bodies), and methanol (blindness, paralysis, death)
The following ingredients are allowed in vaccines under Federal law:
Mercury - neurotoxin
Aspartame - poison
Aluminum - neurotoxin
Ammonia - poison
Fluoride - neurotoxin
Genetically engineered protein chains
And last but not least, the FDA was recently exposed for allowing a company called Beef Products, Inc. to use 'fatty trimmings' in ground beef that was previously allowed for pet foods only.
Even worse, the FDA allowed them to use ammonia in the processing plants, and also allowed the company to label the ammonia a 'processing agent' in millions of pounds of beef. 5 million pounds a year of sub-standard beef, soaked in ammonia, served up to our country's school children.
MMS is one of the most important product inventions of the last century for many reasons. There is no denying that. But Wikipedia is only interested in creating an atmosphere of skepticism and paranoia by using deceptive language and science. They ignore the hundreds of facts that argue against their position and use fear tactics to turn people away. They have about the same credibility as Wall Street trying to justify stealing trillions and making Americans pay for it.
As you can probably tell, we are passionate about MMS, and that is why we have written this rebuttal. We know what good MMS can do for people. We know how important it is for the world, and we cannot sit by while so-called 'authority sites' put out misinformation about it.
