MMS – miracle cure or toxic illusion?
Wroclaw Medical UniversityThe article examines MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution), a product falsely promoted as a universal cure. Research from Wroclaw Medical University shows that while acidified sodium chlorite — the basis of MMS — does kill bacteria, it only works at concentrations that are also toxic to human cells. Tests demonstrated that the substance damages skin cells, harms animals in experimental models, and destroys beneficial probiotic bacteria along with harmful pathogens.
The authors highlight that MMS is unstable, unregulated, and often used in unpredictable doses, making it unsafe for human consumption. They conclude that MMS offers no proven health benefits and carries significant risks, emphasizing the need for evidence-based education to counter misinformation surrounding “miracle cures.”
