      <description>&lt;P&gt;Bleach will burn tissues.&amp;nbsp; What sort of&amp;nbsp;inadequate education the parents received that they do not&amp;nbsp;understand that?&amp;nbsp; it will also kill any bacteria in the digestive system.&amp;nbsp; The health implications for these children&amp;nbsp;are just horrendous.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;MMS was a cure touted by an Australian couple targeting the Seattle area. They ran websites using fake testimonials, photographs, and Seattle addresses, to promote downloadable books touted as containing secret cures as well as selling bottles labeled "water purification drops" with a brand name of "MMS Professional".&lt;A target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Mineral_Supplement#cite_note-FCAruling-32"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;[&lt;/SPAN&gt;32&lt;SPAN&gt;]&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt; The Washington State Attorney General's Office filed suit, and in conjunction with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), secured a settlement of more than US$40,000, roughly $25,000 for state legal fees and $14,000 to be divided among 200 consumers.&lt;A target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Mineral_Supplement#cite_note-33"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;[&lt;/SPAN&gt;33&lt;SPAN&gt;]&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;A target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Mineral_Supplement#cite_note-34"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;[&lt;/SPAN&gt;34&lt;SPAN&gt;]&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt; In the ACCC legal action, the presiding judge described the cures as &lt;A title="Quackery" target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quackery"&gt;quack medicine&lt;/A&gt; and found the claims on the websites "false, misleading or deceptive".&lt;A target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Mineral_Supplement#cite_note-FCAruling-32"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;[&lt;/SPAN&gt;32&lt;SPAN&gt;]&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;A target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Mineral_Supplement#cite_note-35"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;[&lt;/SPAN&gt;35&lt;SPAN&gt;]&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A woman from the city of &lt;A title="Mackay, Queensland" target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackay,_Queensland"&gt;Mackay&lt;/A&gt; in Australia, without qualifications to practice, charged up to &lt;A title="Australian dollar" target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_dollar"&gt;A$&lt;/A&gt;2,000 to inject patients with MMS in her garage which lacked proper facilities for sterilization, and went as far as advising a person to avoid chemotherapy while "dishonestly promoting its benefits with no scientific basis for her claims".

Honestly - the mind boggles at the sheer magnitude of human stupidity!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But then, I reflect that most of us are brought up in some form of religion - where it is paramount to believe a lie without question - and so, once conditioned in childhood to believe one lie, it's not that hard to carry that mentality to other lies, as well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Breatharians,&amp;nbsp; vaccinations, creation science...the list just goes on and on!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In today's educated and enlightened society, ignorance should be considered a crime - or a human failing at the very least!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But unfortunately, whilst there's money to be made, and gullible people to fleece, the charlatans will continue, and people's lives ruined.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
