Charlatans Won’t Help Autistic People

The Dangerous Myth of Chlorine Dioxide

Chlorine dioxide is primarily used for bleaching wood pulp and cotton fabrics. It corrodes metal and is hazardous when consumed in concentrated form. Yet some people use this industrial bleach as a supposed cure for various ailments and believe it can treat nearly every disease known to humanity.

Jim Humble — a former Scientologist and now “archbishop” of the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing — dubbed chlorine dioxide the Master Mineral Solution (MMS). He claims it is a reliable cure for cancer, diabetes, Lyme disease, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, autism, arthritis, kidney and liver diseases, HIV/AIDS, allergies, urinary tract infections, digestive issues, obesity, tumors, cysts, depression, eye and ear infections, prostate problems, erectile dysfunction, and more. According to Humble, the substance also lowers “bad” cholesterol levels.

“These claims may sound too good to be true,” he admitted, yet then contradicted himself by adding, “Based on the feedback I’ve received over the past 20 years, I believe it’s safe to say MMS has the potential to overcome most of the diseases known to mankind.”

False Promises and Unfounded Claims

Kerri Rivera, a “bishop” in Humble’s self-founded church, supports this absurd idea, asserting that MMS enemas can cure autism by allegedly “killing harmful pathogens” inside the body. She even wrote a book titled Healing the Symptoms Known as Autism, where she outlines how to use MMS.

Rivera claims many children were cured of autism thanks to MMS, yet no evidence has ever been found to verify the existence of these children or any proof that they were diagnosed with autism. In other words, these were “invisible patients” who never saw a doctor — otherwise, their records would be in some medical database.

The Reality: Autism Is Not Caused by Parasites

Some neurological disorders, including autism, remain incurable for now. There are only theories about its causes, including rare genetic variants, mutations, and environmental factors. Still, as Vice News pointed out, “Humble and Rivera promote MMS as a way of life, encouraging the harmful notion that the complex neurological condition known as autism is actually a gut issue — one that can be ‘flushed out’ by ingesting industrial bleach. And their followers believe them.”

Indeed, Humble’s sect has devoted followers who disregard scientific evidence that completely debunks his claims about the “miracle” power of chlorine dioxide. Dr. Paul Wang, pediatrician and senior vice president of Autism Speaks, has stated clearly: parasites do not cause autism. As for the true motives behind Genesis II and its leader — those remain open to speculation.

The Dangers of Desperation

In their search for a miracle cure, many parents are willing to try anything to help their child. But one must not lose reason or fall for promises that are clearly too good to be true — especially when there is always the option to rely on evidence-based medicine, which is grounded in objective data and proven facts.

These facts show that the most effective, fastest, and safest way to combat autism and its symptoms today is stem cell therapy.

Stem Cell Therapy: A Scientifically Proven Solution

This innovative treatment involves transplanting stem cells — the body’s fundamental “building blocks” — which have the unique ability to transform into any other type of cell and replace damaged ones. Once transplanted, they restore proper brain and nervous system function, stabilize behavior, and reduce or eliminate autism symptoms.

The results are long-lasting — often for years, and in many cases, for life. This in turn enhances the effectiveness of other therapies used to manage autism.

Stem cell therapy is a minimally invasive, safe, and highly natural procedure designed to stimulate the body’s own regenerative capacity. The method has already earned global recognition and high praise, and it may soon become the primary standard for treating autism and its symptoms.

Today, leading clinics around the world offer this therapy, including the Mardaleishvili Medical Center, where highly qualified physicians with extensive experience perform stem cell transplants using state-of-the-art equipment to achieve the best therapeutic outcomes.

The center offers services at lower costs than comparable healthcare systems abroad, while maintaining the highest international standards. Patients also receive comprehensive assistance — from travel planning to accommodation during the brief rehabilitation period.
