Two people from Oregon and two from Washington have been charged with selling an ingredient for bleach online as a cure-all for arthritis, cancer and the flu

...

Prosecutors say they were involved in a business called Project GreenLife, which imported sodium chlorite from Canada, and that they sold the chemical online as a "miracle mineral supplement." Buyers were instructed to mix it with orange juice or other source of citric acid before drinking it.

Mixing sodium chlorite with citric acid makes chlorine dioxide - a powerful bleach. It wasn't immediately clear if anyone was injured by consuming it.

short article, not much more than this. I hate scammers, and I feel badly for the people who bought into this shit but at the same time, if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is. Just saw on Pinterest today that Coconut Oil is good for your skin (it is), can moisturize your hair (it does) and when applied topically can cure herpes (it can't), and when taken internally can cure cancer, recerses dementia, rids one of alzheimers, HIV, TB and polio, among other things (it can't). But people buy into this shit (do a search of "coconut oil" and "miracle cure" on pinterest and you'll be inundated with the shit)
