Parents are apparently trying to cure their kids autism - by giving them enemas in order to flush the vaccines out.

"Parents report their children fighting, screaming and writhing in pain. The monsters who sell the product online say it’s a miracle cure. The sane population calls it child abuse," ifyouonlynews.com reported.

The news vendor claims a group called CD Autism is promoting the 'cure' on their Facebook page.

Its founder, Kerri Rivera claims that autism is caused by yeast, parasites, viruses, and vaccines that can be flushed from the body.

"The sellers of MMS make snake oil claims that it can cure anything from Ebola, to AIDS, to cancer, to malaria, to broken bones, to Autism," ifyouonlynews.com reported.

This chemical has been sold in South Africa, noted AIDS quack Tine Van Der Maas recommends it for treating Malaria.

Van Der Maas was previously noted for teaming up with then health minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang to convince Nozipho Bhengu to stop taking to give up her anti-retrovirals in exchange for lemon, garlic and beetroot.

Bhengu died in 2006.

Not only is there no scientific evidence the chemical works on Malaria, in 2009 a Mexican Woman took it for that purpose - only to fall ill within 15 minutes. 12 hours later she was dead.

According to Raw Story the chemical solution used in the enemas is sold as Miracle Mineral Solution, and contains sodium chlorite mixed with citric acid (orange or lemon juice), this forms chlorine dioxide.

Chlorine dioxide is a toxic chemical normally used to bleach wood pulp. It is also illegal to transport in gaseous form in the US because it is highly unstable.

The UK's Metro says that Jim Humble came up with the solution after he quit the Church of Scientology to form the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing in order to promote the 'miracle cure' in Africa and Mexico.

The Food and Drug Administration warns that the chemical is potentially life threatening.

"The FDA has received several reports of health injuries from consumers using this product, including severe nausea, vomiting, and life-threatening low blood pressure from dehydration.

"Consumers who have MMS should stop using it immediately and throw it away," the FDA warns.
