Chemical solution that would have the capacity to promote a detoxification of bacteria (not identifiable in exams), in addition to eliminating heavy metals responsible for autism symptoms. Under this appeal, MMS (English term for Miracle Mineral Solution) – is a chlorine dioxide based on sodium chlorite and citric acid, widely used as a powerful bleach for wood bleaching – whose harmful effects on human health have been the object of complaints by parents of autistic children.
Target of intense propaganda, since the 1990s, by the former Yankee Scientologist Jim Hamble, who claims to have cured patients with malaria and AIDS, the use of MMS began to be discussed with greater intensity, especially after the denunciation made by journalist Andrea Werner – mother of Theo, ten years old, an autistic moderate – against the book “Curing the Symptoms Known as Autism”, written by the American author Kerri Rivera, which recommends the use of toxic substance.

As a result of Andrea's alert, several bookstores decided to remove the book (published in Brazil by publishing house BV Books) from its physical and virtual shelves, as access to posts from the journalist.
“There was so much demand that we set up a team to receive reports from people who had been “treated” with MMS or who knew of professionals who recommended its use. In addition, we started the #foramms campaign and I recorded an explanatory video on the subject”, says Andrea, to explain that your video already has more than 50 thousand views, having been shared by more than 2.7 thousand people. She adds that "we need to work to raise awareness among parents who have just received their child's diagnosis and are easy prey for quackery."
In its defense, in a note, BV Books claimed to undergo “persecution”, arguing that “the title of the book does not speak directly about the cure of autism and yes about the cure of its symptoms”, adding that “the composition mentioned in the book is of sodium chlorite and not of a bleach".
Although it has prohibited its manufacture, distribution and commercialization since June of last year by the National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance (Anvisa) – which does not recognize it as a solution for therapeutic purposes – MMS remains freely accessible by Internet. Questioned about this fact by the specialized magazine Crescer, Anvisa limited itself to stating that the sale of the chemical mixture “is a crime against public health, according to the Penal Code”.
