For any interested, I believe it’s 2 drops per quart/liter, and then let it sit for ~30 minutes. Remember to slightly unscrew the cap of your water vessel, and shake/upturn it to ensure some runs out and covers the threads - not much point in sterilizing the water if your just going to suck it out of a contaminated…

I don’t think it was the doctor who prescribed bleach. The mother learned about Miracle Mineral Solution online, and found a doctor who agreed to the “treatment.”

Health care fraud is a multi-billion dollar business in the US and the bad guys know about autism. Other dubious treatments include Lupron (a chemical…

The cops said that a youtube video “legitimizes the claim” that bleach is a medical treatment. Youtube also says that the pyramids were built by aliens, that Sandy Hook was a movie set, and some people are reptiles. The cops aren’t using basic reasoning skills. They aren’t properly evaluating the evidence in front of…

Yea, i’m with you. You can’t expect the police to come to her house with 100 peer reviewed medical studies and go “AH-HA! this treatment has been shown ineffective and harmful, and you should not have followed your doctor’s recommendation!”

Yeah the police aren’t doctors so they deferred to an actual doctor. The doctor in this case should lose their license and face prosecution for this. 

I think we can all agree that there are a lot of stupid adults here fucking up.

If you want to passive aggressively kill your children who you consider but won’t call out loud, burdens, this is was to do it.

She sounds like one of those anti-vaccine assholes who’d rather have a dead child than an autistic one.

The article seems to think that the problem here is with the police.... but the problem is the physician who signed the note.

That ... isn’t a very fun fact.

Fun fact: the maggots and worms that people claim to find in their waste is just in the insides of the their intestines that have been stripped off from the bleach.  

I’m thinking maybe instead of being desperate to cure what cannot be cured, maybe she should stop having kids since her intellect and genetics are clearly subpar? I mean, one could assume from the way the article is worded that only two of her kids were from the noted father, and that half the others were born…

Well, it almost sounds as if this mother doesn’t want her sons to have autism, or exist at all. Either result will do.

I find this heartbreaking and at the same time, it makes me so angry that I wonder to myself...What the absolute fuck is wrong with people... I just have no answer for this.  Just none.

Any doctor that tried to sell me that my kid would have to be fed bleach would find themselves consuming 16 doses of the fucking solution. There are some emergency situations where you might have to use a bit of chlorine in your water to purify it. You’ll survive gulping a bit of water in a swimming pool. But FFS, to…

“consuming bleach will treat various illnesses—acne, flu, malaria, HIV, hepatitis, cancer, and autism.”

I considered them, and I'm not *that* concerned about offending Mormons...but it's really just an article of faith particular to their religion. At least the Roman head or the cocaine mummies have a scientific basis, even if they're completely flawed and probably wrong.

Right, but "indigenous" here has a particular meaning that goes somewhat beyond its dictionary definition. I suppose that, yes, that sentence does border on tautology - I think it avoids that when you incorporate the more anthropological definition, but I do get what you're saying - but it's as much a corrective to…

End of the day, "indigenous" has a dictionary definition and a particular meaning that is used in anthropological and political contexts. Yes, by the dictionary definitions, nobody is truly indigenous. But the groups that reach a place first - and often many thousand of years before any other distinct ethnic groups -…

@TheOmbudsman: Technically, perhaps, but the simple answer is that, for all mainstream anthropological and political purposes, the group to arrive in an area first is indigenous. This can sometimes be rather obvious - there's a fairly clear distinction between the groups that arrived in the Americas thousands of years…
