A father, Mark Grenon, and his three sons, Jonathan, Jordan and Joseph, are facing charges for selling a poisonous bleach solution as a miracle cure for several diseases and disorders. The men sold a product they called "Miracle Mineral Solution" as a remedy for cancer, HIV, Alzheimer's and a cure for COVID-19. The FDA received reports of hospitalizations and life-threatening illnesses after customers drank the solution. The men used what they called a non religious church called the Genesis Church of Health and Healing to market the poison. The product had never been authorized by the FDA as a treatment. The FDA refuted all the claims the company made about their product and got a court order to get the men to stop selling it but the men ignored the court order and continued selling it. This led to their arrests.
When investigators raided the home of the men, in Bradenton, Florida, they found 10,000 pounds of sodium hypochlorite powder and a cache of bottles of the solution. Sodium chlorite, when mixed with water, turns into indudustrial bleach.
The men had made over a million dollars on the sales.
Prior to the most recent court actions and arrests there had been a civil case in which a judge told the men to quit selling the product but the family did not comply. The family said they were going to get guns and resort to a Waco type of reaction.
The family's members were indicted by a federal grand jury in Miami, Florida. The father, Mark, and his son Joseph, are currently jailed in Colombia, where they were arrested in August of 2020. They used their Colombian location to ship the Miracle Mineral Solution to customers in the US, Africa and Colombia.
Just added. SCAM CITY. There's an article about this
cure-all on Wikipedia. Apparently, there's been lots of worldwide marking of this product with intervention by authorities in other countries to try to stop the sales. It's also been marketed for malaria, autism, Parkinson's, hepatitis, acne colds, flu and more. In some written literature for the product an acid was supposed to be added to it for use. It has also been called the CD protocol...for chlorine dioxide, which is formed when an acid is added to it.
Sellers tried to get around some regulations by labeling labeling bottles that it is used as a water purifier or some similar wording on the bottles.
Other sellers have also been reported to have sold this, including one man that sold it to a BBC reporter in London. In 2016 an investigative report by ABC discovered an underground network of sellers in Southern California. Besides the U.K. investigations there's been an investigation in Uganda. Seminars were held in some other countries to promote the product. Wikipedia states that some were held in Chile, Ecuador, South Africa and New Zealand.
There are also links to a woman that was selling in Illinois. According to Wikipedia, she had to sign some legal agreement to stop selling or speaking at seminars. An Australian couple were also selling to people in Seattle and the Washington State Attorney General's office filed suit against them. Another lady in Australia was injecting persons in her garage but a court order prohibiting her from continuing was issued. Ireland and British Colombia also had taken legal actions against persons selling the product. More stories involve sales in Cameroon. Another story involved a British man that purports to be clairvoyant selling in Uganda. Sellers also marketed the product for use with children.
Most of the persons in the Wikipedia article were selling with an affiliation to the "Church" I mentioned in my first paragraph. Some sellers passed themselves off to customers as "reverend" or "bishop." from this "church." One man trained clerics in Uganda to distribute the stuff. This man operated under the guise of a different religious group, a ministry he supposedly founded. He supposedly incentivized the clerics by giving them free cell phones.
