If the solution is diluted less than instructed, it could cause damage to the gut and red blood cells, potentially resulting in respiratory failure.' More dilute versions have potential to do harm, although it is less likely.

When taken as directed it could cause severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, potentially leading to dehydration and reduced blood pressure. Food and Drug Administration, stating that 'MMS is a 28% sodium chlorite solution which is equivalent to industrial-strength bleach. A February 2012 warning, which resulted in one website shutting down, advised: 'There are no therapeutic products containing sodium chlorite authorized for oral consumption by humans in Canada.' In the UK, the Food Standards Agency released a warning, following the initial warnings from Health Canada and the U.S. Following a May 2010 advisory which indicated that MMS exceeds tolerable levels of sodium chlorite by a factor of 200, a Calgary-based supplier briefly stopped distribution. In 2008, a 60-year-old Canadian man was hospitalized after a life-threatening response to MMS. No person should ever give MMS to another person to drink without advising them of what it is they are drinking and of the serious risks to health that may arise if they decide to drink the mixture.' The island nation's public prosecutor, Kayleen Tavoa, did not press any charges as there were no specific laws banning the importation of MMS, but advised, 'While every case is assessed on its own merits, I advise that any person who misuses MMS in Vanuatu in the future would be likely to face prosecution for potentially serious criminal offences. She fell ill within 15 minutes, and died within 12 hours. In Canada it was banned after causing a life-threatening reaction.' In August 2009, a Mexican woman travelling with her American husband on a yacht in Vanuatu took MMS to supposedly prevent malaria. The Guardian described MMS as 'extremely nasty stuff, and the medical advice given is that anyone who has this product should stop using it immediately and throw it away. In August 2019, the Food and Drug Administration repeated a 2010 warning against using MMS products, describing it as 'the same as drinking bleach'. In 2016, Humble said that MMS 'cures nothing'. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies rejected 'in the strongest terms' reports by promoters of MMS that they had used the product to fight malaria. Sellers sometimes describe MMS as a water purifier to circumvent medical regulations. In January 2010, The Sydney Morning Herald reported that one vendor admitted that they do not repeat any of Humble's claims in writing to circumvent regulations against using it as a medicine.

There have been no clinical trials to test these claims, and they come only from anecdotal reports and Humble's book. Humble claims that the chemical can cure HIV, malaria, hepatitis viruses, the H1N1 flu virus, common colds, autism, acne, cancer and other illnesses. The name was coined by former Scientologist Jim Humble in his 2006 self-published book, The Miracle Mineral Solution of the 21st Century. Naren Gunja, director of the New South Wales, Australia Poisons Information Centre, has stated that using the product is 'a bit like drinking concentrated bleach' and that users have displayed symptoms consistent with corrosive injuries, such as vomiting, stomach pains, and diarrhea. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has set a maximum level of 0.8 mg/L for chlorine dioxide in drinking water. Lower doses (~1 gram) can be expected to cause nausea, vomiting, inflammation of the intestines (producing so-called ' rope worms') and even life-threatening reactions in persons with Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. It causes acute kidney failure in high doses. Sodium chlorite, the main precursor to chlorine dioxide, is itself toxic if ingested. This produces chlorine dioxide, a toxic chemical that can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and life-threatening low blood pressure due to dehydration. It is made by mixing aqueous sodium chlorite with an acid (such as the juices of citrus fruits or vinegar). Miracle Mineral Supplement, often referred to as Miracle Mineral Solution, Master Mineral Solution, MMS or the CD protocol, is a branded name for an aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide, an industrial bleaching agent, that has been falsely promoted as a cure for illnesses including HIV, cancer and the common cold.
