Bleach FAQ

by

Alexander Cheezem

Q: You say that “bleach shouldn’t go there”. Where’s “there”?
A: The anal cavities of innocent children.

Q: So shoving bleach into the anal cavities of children is okay if they’ve done something wrong?
A: No.

Q: What about shoving it into the anal cavities of non-consenting adults?
A: No – and if you are exploiting a power relationship to accomplish this, we still regard it as abuse. If, on the other hand, you are simply assaulting someone and shoving bleach into their anal cavity, the proper criminal charge is likely something else.

Q: But what about shoving it into the anal cavities of consenting adults?
A: Here at the Bleach Should Not Go There Campaign, we firmly believe that what goes on in private between consenting adults is none of our business. Accordingly, we simply ask that you find a suitably private location for your… activities.

Q: What if I want to give myself a bleach enema?
A: Go right ahead. While many of us would regard this as phenomenally stupid, how you choose to endanger your own health isn’t something we’re terribly concerned with.

Q: But what’s wrong with anal bleaching?
A: Anal bleaching – as popularized in movies such as Brüno and Bridesmaids – refers to the use of a variety of cosmetic procedures aimed at lightening the skin around the anus. The term “bleaching” does not refer to the use of actual bleach, instead referring to the lightening of the color of the area.
While many of us might have a problem with parents doing cosmetic surgery or using caustic skin products on their children, that’s an entirely separate issue.

Q: Why on Earth would anyone shove bleach into their child’s anal cavity?
A: While it’s tempting to think that this is a more “classical” case of child abuse, where harm is the intention, the parents doing this actually think that they’re helping their children – and are giving them bleach enemas in the name of “autism treatment.”

Q: Wait. What?
A: The extremely short version is that a woman with no medical credentials whatsoever other than being the mother of an autistic child is telling them that autism is caused by (among other things) intestinal parasites. Thus, Kerri Rivera claims, one can help children “recover” from autism by killing these supposed parasites.
Based on her beliefs – which are completely unsupported by any credible research whatsoever – she has developed a highly complex and nonsensical “treatment” plan which includes making the children drink bleach, take baths in bleach, and take bleach enemas.

Q: But that’s crazy!
A: Here at the Bleach Should Not Go There Campaign, we believe that people with psychological and psychiatric issues deserve better than being compared to people who think it’s a good idea to give their children bleach enemas.
Beyond this, however, this sort of statement is commonly used to trivialize or dismiss problematic behavior. We do not regard trivializing or dismissing child abuse as acceptable conduct. The bizarre and absurdist nature of the justifications they use do nothing to lessen the horrific nature of what they are doing to their children.

Q: So this is all about one crank?
A: No. We believe that even one such crank’s existence is newsworthy (as would be even one parent abusing their child in such a bizarre manner) and are committed to convincing the media of this, as the resultant social condemnation would help provide a necessary disincentive for this sort of abusive behavior, Ms. Rivera is not the only crank promoting this bizarre idea… and, worse, does not exist in isolation.
Kerri Rivera’s behavior is supported and condoned by a massive establishment dedicated to promoting questionable – and often abusive – “autism treatments.” She has been invited to speak at conferences, has received massive applause from rooms full of desperate parents, and has even received at least one notable celebrity endorsement.
Here at the Bleach Should Not Go There Campaign, we take this as a sign – a sign that things in the autism world have gotten so incredibly out of hand that, well, a woman can publically proclaim that it’s a good idea to give helpless children bleach enemas and find widespread support for her position.
We do not regard this as even remotely acceptable. Giving children bleach enemas is child abuse – period.
We do not condone child abuse. We do not believe that encouraging child abuse is even remotely tolerable. We do not tolerate the idea that condoning or supporting child abuse is even remotely acceptable. We do not believe that it is even remotely okay to even encourage an environment where such ideas can gain purchase.

Q: Kerri Rivera states that MMS is not household bleach. Is this true?
A: Yes. MMS is an industrial bleaching agent – and is nowhere near as weak (or as safe) as household bleach.

Q: What is this “MMS”?
A: It’s bleach.
More specifically, it’s a 28% solution of sodium chlorite – an industrial bleaching agent. Prior to use, parents mix it with a similar solution of citric acid, forming chlorine dioxide (another industrial bleaching agent, most commonly used to bleach wood pulp as part of manufacturing paper).
This is then diluted somewhat before parents feed this to their children, make their children bathe in it, and shove it up there.
This is nowhere near even remotely safe, and, in our opinions, constitutes child abuse.

Q: What’s the Genesis II Church of Healing?
A: Very briefly, it’s Jim Humble’s so-called “church” based out of the Dominican Republic, which, despite the name, is not actually a religious organization. In their own words:
“Spirituality is beyond definition by governments. It is the stuff of natural law, which is shaped by immortal forces and not by humankind. Statutes, constitutions and judicial rulings are created by humankind based on their best, but limited, understanding of how things work. Natural law was here before we humans arrived and will be here long after we are gone. It cannot be governed by mortal minds. The Genesis II Church is unique, as it was formed for the purpose of serving mankind and not for the purpose of worship. Thus the religious beliefs of our members and of other churches are not our business.”
Their idea of “serving mankind” is, in a sense, fairly simple:
“We were formed to serve MANKIND directly. We want to bring health to the world. We will also serve MANKIND in other ways. We intend to help MANKIND extract himself from a world of death to a world of the living over the coming years.”
To this end, they promote a variety of questionable “health technologies” and “treatments”, which are organized into “sacriments”… most of which involve having people drink bleach, bathe in bleach, take bleach enemas, or otherwise exposing themselves to bleach.
They also train “health ministers” to go out and “heal” people with bleach, host a wide variety of testimonials to the allegedly amazing healing powers of bleach, and generally promote the idea that bleach indeed should go there.
Here at the Bleach Should Not Go There Campaign, we regard the above as absurd. We regard their suggestion that the bleach-based “treatment” of autism should include swallowing swimming-pool chlorine somewhat less charitably.

Q: Wait. What?
A: As of August, 2012, The Genesis II Church’s recommended “protocol” for autism consists of “Protocol 2000 (increase dose amounts very slowly), enemas with or without DMSO”. Looking up what “Protocol 2000” consists of, you will quickly note that it involves “MMS2” in addition to the usual MMS.
MMS is calcium hypochlorite – pool chlorine – in gelcaps, which the kids are then given as “medicine”. The “church” even recommends buying the stuff from pool supply shops.
Of course, this is of somewhat secondary importance to us, as they also recommend giving the kids bleach enemas. Bleach should not go there.

Q: So, are you really all about bleach enemas?
A: No – we don’t believe kids should be made to drink bleach or bathe in it, either.

Q: So… you’re really about bleach enemas?
A: We oppose bleach enemas, but at the same time, we realize that they are only the latest in a much longer string of abuses. We realize and understand that they are only a symptom of a much larger underlying problem – a “biomedical” autism treatment establishment so far divorced from reality, sanity, and anything resembling ethics that a woman who freely admits that she has no real medical credentials whatsoever can become a virtual superstar overnight via telling people that they can make their children less autistic by giving them bleach enemas.

Q: So what’s your goal?
A: Ultimately, a world in which parents cannot give their children bleach enemas without facing both widespread social condemnation and prosecution for child abuse – and in which “autism treatment” is not regarded as an acceptable excuse for that behavior.
We’d also like a world where it’s impossible for a woman to win a major international beauty pageant on the bleach enema platform.

Q: Wait. What?
A: Yes, this has been done. To be fair, her “platform” was really that of questionable and supposedly “biomedical” autism “treatments”, but this explicitly includes bleach enemas – she’s offered testimonials about the wonders that bleach “treatment” has done for her child at at least one “autism conference”… while wearing her sash.
When we called the pageant to ask, they confirmed that she was representing the pageant by doing so… and defended her right to promote bleach enemas as part of her “platform”. We do not regard child abuse as even remotely a valid part of an acceptable platform, and condemn the pageant for even considering this an acceptable action.
In a sane world, the beauty queen in question would have been stripped of her crown, prosecuted for child abuse, and sent to jail. This has not even come close to happening.

Q: People are actually doing this to their kids?
A: Unfortunately, yes.

Q: That’s child abuse!
A: Not in Michigan, at least.

Q: Wait. What?
A: We reported one case to the Michigan Department of Human Services. Several days later, we got a letter saying that the case had been dismissed as “it has been determined that the allegation does not meet the Child Protection Law definition of child abuse or neglect.”
The allegation in question was that the mother involved was making her child drink bleach, take baths in bleach, and take bleach enemas. Accordingly, we can only conclude that this behavior is perfectly legal in Michigan, provided that it’s done in the name of “autism treatment.”
We do not view this as representing an acceptable state of affairs, to say the least.

Q: What about other states?
A: In the Michigan case, the mother has been travelling the country and offering glowing testimonials to the wonders which bleach enemas have done for her son. One of those testimonials was done in front of a crowded room – which one of us happened to be in.
We have called in other cases, but the results are generally somewhat more ambiguous. For instance, in August, 2013, we reported a woman who openly blogged about giving her child bleach enemas to Indiana’s Department of Child Services. This resulted in a return call in which we were informed that an assessment was performed and that there were no concerns about abuse. While this is highly disturbing, we don’t know why the case was dismissed, and can’t take this as a comment on the legality or lack thereof in Indiana.
It is, perhaps understandably, rather rare for us to receive such flagrant evidence of a particular parent giving their child bleach enemas. When we do, we are legally required to report it to the relevant state’s authorities. It is far more common for us to receive information that doesn’t give us the name of the parent and/or child in question.

Q: Is the state of the modern autism world really that bad?
A: No. It’s worse. The material on this site barely manages to capture a tiny portion of what’s wrong with one segment of it.

Q: Don’t you have any sympathy for the parents?
A: We actually do have quite a bit of sympathy for them and the situations they find themselves in. These situations – and the desperation they experience – do not, however, either justify or excuse child abuse.

Q: This FAQ is too damned long!
A: That’s not a question. That said, you wouldn’t believe some of the questions we get.
On the other hand, if you’ve read the entirety of this FAQ, you may have some idea of what many of them are like.

Q: How can I contact you?

A screenshot of intestinal detachment from a five year old child.

by Emma Dalmayne

---------------------------------------------

Scrolling through my newsfeed I was confronted with this screenshot.

It's from a social media group full of parents and carers who believe they can ‘heal’ Autism by giving their children Chlorine Dioxide, a water purification agent used to sanitise swimming pools, Jacuzzis and spas. I was once told I could not take my daughter into a hot tub as the Chlorine levels were too high, it's not something to intentionally take internally!

There are however parents who have been misinformed that it will kill the intestinal rope worms that are causing their child's Autism. These rope worms apparently breed at a fast rate particularly when it's a full moon.
There's no medical acknowledgement to rope worms anywhere in history and the full moon link with Autism is also scientifically unproven.
The screen shot in question has been posted and commented upon by parents tagging each other in amazement offering congratulations to the poster for capturing this fearsome creature.

A fellow anti MMS campaigner who has had Colon problems in the past had this image up on her computer screen when her fiancée walked past and saw it. He enquired as to whether she was investigating another medical procedure as he was able to see from his experience that what was on the screen strongly resembles intestinal lining.

Daniel Inderwisch has worked as a slaughter man for over twenty years and during that time has slaughtered pigs whose inner anatomy is very similar to humans.
His duties not only include the slaughter of the animal but the gutting so he's well used to seeing the inner organs of pigs including the heart, lungs and intestines.
In Daniels opinion the screenshot in question is intestinal and as the father of a child with Autism he is sickened it came from a human and he cannot fathom how anyone can promote such cruelty.

The intestinal lining pictured is from a five year old child whose mother is practicing Andreas Kacklers Parasite Protocol.

The poster commented that she had cried most of the night tossing and turning in the knowledge this “thing” had been living inside her child.
It's been part of her child since in utero and she has repeatedly flushed his immature system with a bleaching agent until it has given way, detached from the intestinal wall and seeped out through her child's anus as a result of enema’s!

Autism Treatments OP-ED

by

Alexander Cheezem

When I first started learning about the so-called “biomedical” treatments available for autism, I was shocked and disgusted to learn of the practice of intravenous chelation as an "autism treatment." For the uninformed, this so-called "therapy" involves strapping a child -- often as young as three or four years old -- down for two hours or more while you pump a powerful irritant into his or her veins. By all accounts, the substance in question burns, in a manner akin to acid.

Even without the extensive and horrifying list of side effects and dangers associated with this "therapy," this is an awful thing to do to an innocent child. Worse, there's no credible evidence whatsoever that it actually helps the victims of this practice. It is supported only by junk science and parental testimonials. While I can sympathize with the situations of many of these parents, and understand their desire to create a better future for their children, there are limits to what this can excuse.

At the time, I honestly thought that this was as low as desperate parents and the fraudulent establishments set up to pander to them could sink. I was, unfortunately, naive.

Then came the rise of OSR#1. An industrial chelator designed to precipitate heavy metals out of mine runoff and never properly safety-tested on humans, OSR was repackaged as an "antioxidant dietary supplement" by the anti-vaccine activist Boyd Haley and marketed to the parents of autistic children. The list of adverse events gleaned from parent testimonials in favor of feeding this poison to children is horrifying, yet one of the distributors remains on the board of my county's autism society.

Once again, I thought that this "establishment" could sink no lower. Once again, I was quickly proven wrong.

In early 2009, I first heard of Mark and David Geier's favored "treatment" for autism – chemical castration via repeated doses of Lupron, a drug sometimes used to treat prostate cancer by shutting down the body's natural production of sex hormones. Perhaps more infamously, the drug is has also been used to chemically castrate sex offenders.

Their "treatment" has, in the years since, spawned a national network of clinics -- clinics dedicated to "treating" autism by chemically castrating autistic children. Once again, there is no credible evidence that this does anything to make the victims less autistic.

Yet again, I was shocked and horrified. Yet again, I thought that I'd seen the worst of it. Yet again, I was quickly proven wrong.

Shortly after a clinic dedicated to the Geier castration protocol opened up near my house, I discovered that local parents were having pig whipworm eggs illegally shipped from Thailand so that they could deliberately infest their autistic children with porcine intestinal parasites in the name of "helminthic therapy."

At the time, I couldn't imagine anything worse. Then came the rise of the fecal transplant as an autism "treatment."

I am not going to detail the process, beyond stating that it's exactly what it sounds like. I will remark that it takes something truly special to have another kid's rancid poo pumped into your child’s stomach.

All of these, however, pale next to the latest form of abuse that the "autism recovery" movement has come up with: the bleach enema.

No, I'm not joking. I sincerely wish I was.

This is part of a complex "protocol" which makes no medical sense at all, developed and promoted by a woman who proudly declares that she has no clinical or medical credentials. From her home base at a hyperbaric oxygen clinic in Mexico, Kerri Rivera travels the country, teaching parents about the alleged glories of the centerpiece of her "treatment" -- an industrial bleaching agent which has been rebranded as a so-called "Miracle Mineral Solution."

Within her protocol, children are made to drink this bleach, take baths in it, and, perhaps most disgustingly, take it via enema.

I remember watching in horror as Ms. Rivera presented to a crowded room full of desperate parents. Her preaching about the glories of bleach enemas and her announcement that her sole credential for promoting this was the fact that she's a parent were met with thunderous applause. That the media is only now beginning to take notice of the phenomenon is inexcusable.
That was almost three years ago, now.

This is not treatment – it is child abuse, plain and simple. There is no excuse imaginable which could justify this horrific insanity, just as nothing could possibly justify promoting or pandering to the environment of desperation, fear, and stigma which makes it possible. Enough is enough. These practices and those who support them must be condemned as strongly and unambiguously as possible.

It is long past time for us to take a stand. We, as a society, and as human beings, must come together and deliver a simple message, one which never should have needed to be said: Bleach should not go there.

Autistic Rights Together

Statement on the continued use of Physical Restraint Systems and Seclusion in Irish Special Needs schools

The use of Physical Restraint and seclusion on Autistic children and/or any child is an inherently inhumane and damaging practise which although banned in many parts of the world continues to be used within many special needs schools and classrooms in Ireland.
One such restraint method which involves the child being held face down on the floor by three people (two at the legs and one at the child’s shoulders/head) is in use in Ireland today.

The fact that Autistic children can be subjected to violent restraint within the school system with no legal onus on the school staff or management to report the instances and/or reasons behind the action of restraint or seclusion is a violation of the persons human rights, according to the principles outlined in the European Convention in Human Rights, Article 3 (Prohibition of Torture).

These inhumane practises are at odds with the principles outlined within both the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the United Nations Convention on the rights of Persons with Disabilities.

It has come to our attention that a number of cases involving extremely damaging use of such Restraint and Seclusion methods are currently under investigation in Ireland.
It is also known that a number of schools have used the threat of suspension, expulsion and the withdrawal of services from vulnerable families if they do not sign consent forms to allow the use of such Restraint and Seclusion methods on their Autistic/special needs children.

This is a vile abuse of power and a direct consequence of the failing of the Irish Government to protect the rights of the most vulnerable people in our society.

It is a damning indictment of the failing of the Government that parents and families are forced to take legal advice to ensure their children are protected from these abusive treatments within the Irish education system.
