Health Canada states:\u00a0Health Canada is advising Canadians that using &#8220;MMS&#8221;, also known as Miracle Mineral Solution or Miracle Mineral Supplement, may cause serious health problems. The product information lists sodium chlorite as an ingredient and is promoted as a substance that can cleanse toxins from the human body. There are no therapeutic products containing sodium chlorite authorized for oral consumption by humans in Canada. These serious problems include poisoning, kidney failure and harm to red blood cells that reduces the ability of the blood to carry oxygen. Additional health problems may also include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Excellent for hot tub or pool:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"><span class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\">MMS (Chlorine Dioxide)<\/span><span class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\">\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\">traditional chlorine shock<\/span><span class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"> differ significantly in their chemical mechanism.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong><span class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\">1.
