A “miracle cure” gets whispered about at an autism conference, and the rabbit hole opens fast. We follow the bizarre rise of Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS), a two-part chemical kit that produces chlorine dioxide, and how it’s been promoted as a treatment for everything from malaria to autism to COVID-19. The shocking part is not just the claim, it’s how normal it can look at first: concerned parents trading tips, meticulous logs, Facebook groups filled with testimonials, and a community that feels supportive and almost scientific on the surface.
