| + | Issue |
| + | Health Canada is warning Canadians of the serious risks to health associated with use of the unauthorized drug product Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS), which was sold as a treatment for serious diseases such as cancer through the website www.buymms.biz. MMS contains sodium chlorite, which is a chemical used mainly as a textile bleaching agent and disinfectant and may pose serious risks to health if ingested. An alternate format of MMS, labelled as CDS, is also available for sale on the website and would pose a similar risk.<br> |
| + | |
| + | Products affected<br> |
| + | 1. MMS (28% sodium chlorite and 50% citric acid)<br> |
| + | |
| + | 2. CDS (chlorine dioxide 8000 ppm)<br> |
| + | |
| + | What you should do<br> |
| + | Stop using MMS products immediately. |
| + | Consult their doctor or pharmacist if they have used or are using MMS products distributed by www.buymms.biz.<br> |
| + | Report any adverse events to Health Canada. |
| + | Who is affected |
| + | Canadians who have purchased Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS) products on the Internet from www.buymms.biz or any of its previously used company names: www.themmsstore.com, www.miraclemineralsupplement.com, and www.mms1.com. |
| + | |
| + | Background |
| + | No drug products containing sodium chlorite have been approved by Health Canada for consumption by humans. Sodium chlorite is authorized in Canada for use as a germicide by veterinarians and as a hard surface disinfectant. Sodium chlorite is commonly used for bleaching textiles, pulp and paper, as well as in the generation of disinfectant for water treatment. |
