A "cult" has been implicated in cases of parents forcing their children to drink bleach as an autism cure (and surprisingly, it's not the cult known as 4chan):

Parents are making their children drink industrial bleach to cure them of autism—with the potentially deadly practice linked back to a U.S. cult. According to British tabloid the Sunday People, six British police forces have probed cases in which children as young as two have been forced to undergo the potentially lethal treatment.

The treatment being administered is CD (Chloride Dioxide) or MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution)—with a secret Facebook group touting its use to desperate parents in the U.K. The method has been promoted by a controversial U.S. church with a branch in Los Angeles - the secretive Genesis II Church, founded by Jim Humble, a former scientologist.

A 2016 investigation by Eyewitness News and ABC News found an underground network clustered in southern California promoting MMS on Facebook as a cure for ailments including cancer, Parkinsons, and autism in children.

The previous year the BBC exposed a secret conference in which leading figures from the church travelled to the U.K. to promote the use of MMS, which it claims is a non-dangerous religious sacrament. They believe that autism is caused by pathogens and parasites, which Chloride Dioxide kills. Doctors say that the claims of adherents are groundless, the solution is untested and can cause serious harm.

Bleach: the drink of choice for sophisticated memers.

      Happens that I have a recipe to prepare an exquisitely flavoured and smooth bleach, just perfect for the 1%-ers connoisseurs' palate.
      A tad expensive, but that's the price for true quality. Let me know if interested.

                    I'm not remotely rich. I could have been many times over but I prefer to work precisely enough to meet both my needs and desires. And then stop. Time to do whatever I like is worth quite a bit more to me than an extra zero or two on my net worth.

                  Are you dense? Those dental treatments you speak of aren't free, so suing for money would help out a lot there. And if you get more money than the medical treatments cost, that money can make you more comfortable. Having dental problems and a fat bank account is a much better situation than having dental problems and being broke.

                  Of course, a lawsuit against one's parents and their doctors from decades in the past isn't going to go far, but the idea that "money doesn't help anything" is just plain stupid.

What about parents who join other cults, like Scientology? What about parents who teach kids that education is a waste of time and they should aspire to work in a coal mine? What about parents who don't properly vaccinate their kids, or won't let them have medical treatment that their crazy religion prohibits? What about parents who encourage their kids to use Windows or Apple OSX, or worse, Gnome 3?

        Where exactly do we draw the line for what kind of abuse parents are allowed to do, and what abuse they aren't, and how do we decide that? What makes it illegal for parents to feed their kids bleach, but not junk food and McDonald's? What makes it illegal for kids to torture their kids by shackling them and starving them and molesting them (like the 2 freak parents in the news recently), but not for getting them involved in some crazy religion where the preacher molests them? What makes it illegal for them to make them drink bleach, thinking it'll cure them, but not to get their genitalia surgically altered for no reason other than religion?

        What we really need is to eliminate parenting altogether, and have the State take over that role with children raised in institutions. Then, to eliminate the problem of the State being run by incompetent humans who also make bad decisions, we need to create an AI to run our government and make these decisions for us, since we're clearly doing a bad job of it, as proven by these bleach-pushing parents.

          I was two years old. I told my mom it hurt after taking a bath.

          For years I thought they gave me a new one

            I vividly remember my first orgasm though, because it
            was at my mother's hands during one of my baths. I was
            embarrassed to have her come in and wash me and I
            believe I even voiced that to her, but she wouldn't take
            no for an answer. When she was done washing my neck and
            ears and back, she told me to stand up. I stood and was
            very embarrassed at my penis being in plain sight to
            her. But at the same time, I felt a sense of naughtiness
            and excitement, which made my cock get stiff as a board
            as she was washing my buttocks.

            She never made mention of it, until she tried to bring
            the washcloth around to wash it and I cupped my hands
            over it. She chided me and said she had seen everything
            I had and that she was my mother and so on, until my
            hands went to my sides. She very professionally washed
            my cock and balls, and that was that. Now I didn't have
            a horse cock at that age, but it did seem big when it
            was stiff a lot bigger. Also the sensation of her
            washing my genitals was a pleasant one so I decided this
            was okay.

            I don't know how many baths transpired, but I do
            remember looking forward to having my mother give me a
            bath. Especially when I would be asked to stand up with
            a proud hard little pecker standing straight out. I grew
            to love the feeling of her hands as she would gently
            lift my hard little cock to get at my nut sack with the
            washcloth.

            The bath that I remember the most and with the best
            memories came one evening just like usual. I stood up
            proudly displaying my hard little pecker in front of my
            mother. For some reason that evening I felt even nastier
            and more tense than usual. When mom got done washing my
            genitals, she held my cock in her hand as she brought
            bath water up in her other cupped hand and rinsed my
            genitals off. I was disappointed for some reason,
            because I knew that from the past this was the end of
            the bath.

            But then as mom kneeled next to the tub and I stood, she
            took her hand and with her index finger and thumb, she
            dripped my little peter. I was not circumcised, so she
            began to skin the tight foreskin back and forth over my
            cockhead. My knees seemed to get weaker, the longer she
            did it to me. As she was masturbating me, she asked me
            if I had ever done this when it got hard. I hadn't and
            answered her honestly. She then to my disappointment
            stopped.
            She dried me off and that was that.

            The next day, in my room, I found a paper bag laying on
            a little play
            desk that I had. In it was a nudist magazine. Boy did I
            feel naughty at
            looking at all the naked pictures in that magazine. I
            hid it for future
            reference, and noted that while looking at the magazine,
            little junior sure
            did get stiff as a board.

            The next night was bath night. I was surprised however
            to see my mom come into the bathroom wearing her pajama
            bottoms and top. Plus she locked the door behind her.
            Nothing was really said until I stood up sporting my
            erection as usual. The when mom got done washing my
            genitals, she again took my cock between her fingers and
            began to gently masturbate me. It seems like my dad at
            the time had a night job and didn't get home until way
            after my bedtime. I don't know if this had any influence
            on what she was doing or not.

            Anyway as she was pumping my hard little cock, she asked
            me if I had found the book. And told me that she had put
            it there for me to look at so I could see the difference
            between men and women sexually. She went on to explain
            that I was growing up fast and should know about certain
            things. All the while her hand kept busy. Up until now,
            I had rubbed myself against my bed sheets when hard
            until a weird feeling would come up into what seemed
            like my belly and then I would quit. I began to feel
            that weird sensation as my mom kept up her jerking on my
            cock.

            I begged her to stop, that it was beginning to hurt it
            seemed like. She calmly told me to just let it go and
            not to be afraid, that she was there with me. I felt my
            knees slightly give out and then felt her other hand cup
            my buttocks and prop me up. Something mad me scream and
            look down at my cock between her fingers. A stream of
            liquid shot out of the end of my penis and splashed
            against the wall in front of me.

            I could hear mom saying, "Yesssssss that's it let it go,
            good boy, OHHHHH what force."

            Another big spurt shot out. It felt great as it kept
            erupting like a volcano. Each spurt went shorter and
            shorter than the one before, until it was just drooling
            out of the end. Mom took the washcloth and washed my
            genitals all over again, dried me off and that was that.

            Surprisingly the next night, mom announced that it was
            bath time again. I sure didn't argue, I wanted some more
            of what I had gotten the night before for sure. I was
            already in the water when mom came in wearing her
            pajamas, again and locked the door. The toilet was on
            the opposite wall from the tub and the end faced
            directly at me and was only about three feet away. To my
            surprise, mom pulled her pajama pants down and sat on
            the toilet facing me. In that position, I could look
            between her legs and see a hairy bush as I heard her
            piss flowing into the toilet.

            Her piss hadn't finished and I was hard as a rock. As I
            watched she finished pissing and then took some toilet
            paper from the roll and stood up, her pants down around
            her ankles.

            I watched mesmerized as she slightly bent her knees and
            wiped her hairy slit with the tissue and then threw it
            into the bowl and flushed it. Acting as though I wasn't
            even there, she pulled up her pajama bottoms and then
            looked at me and smiled. "Okay, stand up," she said.

            I stood, proudly displaying my hard on for her gaze. She
            knelt by the tub and unbuttoned her top, and removed it.
            Two magnificent breasts were bobbing free for my gaze.
            The aureoles were as big around as a coffee cup. And the
            nipples were as big as my thumb is today, and about one
            inch long.

            She reached out and wrapped her fingers around my cock
            as she told me that since she had seen so much of me,
            that it was only fair that I get to see her. As she
            stroked my nearly exploding cock, she told me that
            besides, I needed something to look at while I shot my
            stuff out. Shoot it out I did, I shot at least twice as
            much as the night before and did it ever feel twice as
            good. All the while looking at her great tits. After
            washing my cock and drying me off, I was sent to bed and
            that was that.

            This ritual was repeated several times as I remember,
            with her topless and me joyously exploding to her
            experienced touch. In fact, this may have gone on for a
            year or so, since the next thing happening different, I
            seem to remember that I had started to grow a very
            sparse patch of hair on my nuts and around the shaft of
            my cock. I also could tell that my cock had grown, since
            mom no longer had to grasp it between two fingers, she
            could wrap her hand around it and it even felt better,
            that way.

                During the other baths, she would quite often piss for
            me, although not all of the time. Continually during the
            bath and the masturbation she would give me information
            on the birds and the bees. This one particular night as
            she announced that it was bath time, I was really horny.
            By now I had begun to jerk myself off quite often. Mom
            continued to provide me with a fresh nudist book now and
            then. She often asked me for comments on what I did
            after seeing the books.

            This particular night she came into the bathroom once I
            was in the tub, and went through the pissing ritual,
            except when she was done she stood, wiped and then
            kicked her bottoms free from her feet and took off her
            top. She was now completely nude as she knelt by the
            tub.

            Instead of me standing in the tub facing the wall, she
            had me face her. This position put the tip of my cock
            only inches from her smiling face. She reached out and
            began to masturbate me slowly. She told me that this was
            going to end since I was now old enough to relieve
            myself and did not need her to do it. I was almost in
            tears as I heard her go on and explain that girls can do
            a lot of different things to make a boy feel good.

            I looked down at her as she leaned forward and then I
            groaned as her warm mouth engulfed my entire cock. I
            felt her back off and then her hand pulled my foreskin
            back in her mouth and then, I felt the most wonderful
            sensation of my life, as her tongue began a rapid
            circling of my cockhead. My knees went week as I looked
            down on the top of her head. She reached between her
            legs and I felt her moan around my ready to shoot cock.
            Her hand came from her crotch and went behind me to my
            buttocks.

            I thought she was going to steady me with her hand
            around my buttocks as she had before when I was about to
            cum. But instead she had inserted her pussy juice lubed
            finger into my asshole. I was about to warn her that I
            was going to shoot since I didn't dream she would want
            it in her mouth. But her probing finger ended any
            warning as I filled my mother's mouth with my cream.

            This was the best orgasm yet. I sure did love it and
            looked forward to the next one. Mom kept slowly sucking
            at my cock until, I guess she got tired and stopped. I
            never did go soft, the sensation of her mouth around my
            cock stayed with me all night, as I continually jerked
            off thinking about it.

            I was the one who asked for a bath even earlier than we
            had been doing it the next night. Mom just smiled and
            said, "Go ahead and get ready." She once again came in
            wearing her pajamas. Only this time when she got done
            pissing, she stripped and got into the tub with me. She
            picked up my washcloth and squatted in the tub until her
            hairy bush touched the water.

            Then she took the washcloth and ran it up and down her
            hairy slit several times, it caused her to moan and
            goose bumps broke out all over her tits. She the held
            one of her magnificent tits out to me and told me to
            suck and bite the nipple. I gladly obliged as I felt my
            hard cock do several springs against my belly. She had
            me suck both her nipples then bite then gently. During
            which her hand went underwater and she groaned as she
            closed it around my hard shaft.

            I was about to cum underwater when she abruptly got out
            of the tub. She dried her pussy and sat on the toilet
            seat with the top down. She spread her legs and told me
            to get out of the tub. She had me kneel between her legs
            as she spread her womanhood wide and gave me a
            comprehensive anatomy lesson I'll never forget. Then
            with her coaching me, I brought her to climax with my
            tongue. I loved it and couldn't get enough, she finally
            stopped me and told me she was too sensitive there for
            me to continue.

            She asked me if I was close to shooting, I admitted that
            I sure was. She told me she was going to show me how men
            and women make babies, but that I should enjoy it longer
            so she would suck me off again before she showed me
            anything else. I sure was glad to hear that, and filled
            her mouth almost immediately upon entering.

            She stopped sucking once I was finished and licked all
            over my cock and balls. Then she slowly tongued and
            alternately masturbated me to full hardness. She said,
            "Now you will learn how babies are made". She had me get
            on my knees between her spread legs. I couldn't help but
            notice the large amount of clear fluid on the toilet
            seat top and over her pussy hair and thighs. In her
            position on the toilet, she was too high for me to get
            my cock into her pussy, so she moved over and sat on the
            edge of the tub.

            The height here was just right, and my hard cock tip
            easily slid in between her hairy pink lips. The
            sensation on the tip of my cock was such a tremendously
            wonderful feeling, to this day I can still feel it! She
            told me to gently push my hips forward. I moved only
            slightly, and to her squeal and my delight, I sank my
            cock all the way into my first pussy. She wrapped her
            arms around my back and steadily gave me instructions on
            how to fuck her. Explaining that when my cock shoots its
            cream into her there, that her insides would take the
            cream and start a baby.

            Even though I was in heaven, my cock seemed to have a
            mind of its own, and the wonderful feeling kept up,
            without the urge to cum. Mom on the other hand was
            pumping her hips back to me at each stroke and seemed to
            get more and more out of breath as she continued to give
            me my sex education! All of a sudden, she gave one big
            thrust and then crushed me to her chest and began
            gasping for breath. I felt those two hard nipples, get
            unbelievably stiffer and almost hurt as they bored into
            my chest. I felt the velvet walls of her vagina grasp
            and release my cock several times, then a warm fluid
            seemed to engulf it as she began to shudder.

            When she calmed down and let go of her grip on me, she
            explained that she had just had a beautiful orgasm, much
            better than when I sucked her. I was beaming and proud,
            as she called me a good lover and told me how some day I
            would make a nice girl a good husband. But at that
            moment, I wanted to be in nobody's pussy but hers.

            Mom squeezed my cock with her vagina muscles, and said,
            "Okay, now its time for you to experience ejaculating
            into a vagina." By the way, She did teach me all the
            vulgar names for a penis and vagina, but always used the
            real terms in front of me. My cock began to swell as she
            started once again to slide that hot moist sheath over
            my cock. As I felt myself getting near the edge, she
            must have sensed it also, and did the same thing as lat
            time, while I spurted heavily into her hot vagina. After
            resting she had me pull out and washed herself and my
            cock off with a washcloth.

            That was it except one more thing. She explained to me
            that some girls I may run in to may like to have me put
            my penis in where they poop from, was the words she
            used. But that it was not very common and all girls
            don't like it there, her being one of them. She did
            however bend over for me and spread her cheeks and show
            me exactly where she was talking about.

            The next day was probably one of the most heart breaking
            days of my life. When I joyously announced that it was
            bath time. Mom explained to me that it would never
            happen again. If it were done again, it would be wrong.
            What had been done so far, she considered in the
            interest of my sexual and mental education and must
            above all remain our secret. (Something she was
            constantly reminding me of). Despite the weeks to
            follow, with me begging, it was to no avail. She meant
            what she said.

            It wasn't until I was almost 16 years old that there was
            ever a word of us having sex ever mentioned. That came
            about partially due to my dad's death in a car accident.
            And a frustrating date that I had been on.

            Dad had been gone for almost a year when this occurred.
            I had been out on a date with a tease and got only feels
            and felt, without as much as her even jerking me off.
            Some of the girls I went with demanded I settle for a
            hand job, others gave blowjobs, and then there was
            always one or two who would go the whole route. Anyway
            this particular night as I said, I was in a state! My
            balls were killing me, and I was planning on relieving
            the situation by hand when I got home.

            My mother had just come home minutes before I had from a
            night out with my aunt and a couple of other girls. She
            was dressed very nice in a skirt, stockings, heels and a
            silk blouse. Plus she smelled so good that when she
            kissed me hello, I grabbed her and gave her a very
            forceful kiss, as my cock immediately stiffened against
            her pubic bone. She finally broke the kiss and pushed me
            away. "YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT! I'M SURPRISED AT YOU!"

            She went on to scold me and remind me of what had been
            said years before. But she did have me sit down and
            explained something to me that I had always wondered
            about. That was how she ever came to teaching me so
            graphically what sex was about.

            In my younger age I was curious about sex, along with a
            good friend of mine. He and I had built a sort of fort
            out in a field by our house. We quite often discussed
            our little hard penises and things. We even did a few
            experiments. Neither of us was masturbating yet, but to
            us the only place to put a hard cock was in the other
            guy's asshole.

            So every once in a while when we were alone, we would
            take turns attempting this. We had no concept of
            lubrication and penetration was never achieved by either
            of us. But it felt pleasurable and we'd keep it up until
            it felt weird and then trade places.

            Well, unbeknownst to us, my father had been suspecting
            some sort of hanky panky in the fort. Although he
            suspected smoking. He was not at all prepared to sneak
            up on the fort and watch his young son standing with his
            pants around his ankles while his male friend attempted
            to fuck him in the ass. Then watch as his son tried the
            same on his friend. Instead of saying anything then and
            there, he snuck back away, and related what he had seen
            to my mother.

        You need a license to have a pet (in some places). You need a license to fish. The word license means permission. That is why copyright license and patent license are NOT contracts, but permissions. Now you may have to enter into a contract in order to obtain that license (eg, permission).

        The license to marry seems to be an impediment to the business of drive through marriages in Las Vegas.

              It's more nuanced than that. "No trespassing" wouldn't hold in court, high fences and a bolted gate with "warning unsafe structure", "Danger 20,000 Volts" (etc) signs would. There we are again, the law abiding having to be double responsible because of stupid and irresponsible people.

        The only problem I have with this idea is this: if you do this, are you going to be able to actually make enough money with forced labor by the parents in work camps to pay for not only the parents' own incarceration, but also the upbringing cost of their children? I'm highly doubtful.

        This is why I think everyone should be sterilized at a young age, and people have to get a license and special approval to have children, at which point they'd have to pass a background check to make sure they'd be fit parents.

      From the fine summary:

      The treatment being administered is CD (Chloride Dioxide) or MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution). . .

      That makes the "bleach" in question ClO2, which has its own Wikipedia page. [wikipedia.org]

      Per that page, this would be a harmless purifying additive in water if its concentration were less than 0.8 mg/L; unfortunately, that's not what's being advertised.

      The Miracle Mineral Solution [wikipedia.org] is a 28% (sometimes stronger, cults aren't so great at industrial process controls) solution of Sodium Chlorite (NaClO2), [wikipedia.org] intended to be reacted with either citric or hydrochloric acid prior to use. The reaction with the acid forms the ClO2. I'm not sure exactly what the concentration would be afterwards, but since 0.8mg/L is in the ballpark of 10-4%, it's safe to say that even a 10% final solution would be out of the safe bounds for ingestion.

      Purely coincidence, I'd guess.

      The funny thing is that Chlorine Dioxide (one product of the mix reaction) IS used for water purification on an industrial scale. And you young whippersnappers might not remember when Sodium Hypochlorite (Clorox) was in fact recommended for water purification also. In fact, it still is for disasters: https://www.clorox.com/dr-laundry/disaster-preparedness-purifying-water/ [clorox.com] Both are excellent broad-spectrum antimicrobials.

      That said, the reason that the Wikipedia article on Bleach carries the medical warnings and why this other Chlorine Dioxide shouldn't be used is that it's damned easy to overdose on the stuff. The side effects are heavy, including death, if you screw it up. And even if you get it right, you're probably going to kill off a bunch of other gut bacteria that is helpful to your body and digestion, too. ("Bugs bad! Squash all bugs!" kills you too.)

      Dropping gas on the fire, the science may not be all that funny either. At least there's a 2017 journal article on use of Suramin (an antiprotozoan for Chagas disease/African Sleeping Sickness) and temporary improvement of Autism Spectrum Disorder symptoms. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/acn3.424/full [wiley.com] That said, there is no conclusion I read when I scanned the article that there's actually a gut connection to autism. The mechanisms of autism still are not well understood AFAIK other than there being neuronal issues, and the Suramin apparently acts neurologically to suppress purinergic pathway signalling. It's action as an antiprotozoan is unknown.

      That said, there's no known link between microorganisms and ASD either. So don't take the above as Gospel. ;) Just interesting coincidence. But it is so delicious to draw unwarranted conclusions, like the MMS people apparently have.
