‘Miracle Covid cure’ sold in church turns out to be commercial bleach
A family that sold more than 28,000 bottles of a ‘cure’ for Covid-19 has been arrested after it turned out the substance was in fact a sodium chlorite solution that they mixed with an acidic activator so it became chlorine dioxide, in other words: bleach.
Marketed as a ‘miracle mineral solution’, Mark Grenon and his sons Jonathan, Jordan and Joseph made reportedly more than £700,000 since they started selling the substance in March of last year, when the pandemic started.
They reportedly convinced fellow church-goers the substance could cure illnesses such as Covid-19, diabetes, cancer and malaria.
According to court documents, the family manufactured the solution in shed in their back garden and sold the substance to members of a church called Genesis II Church of Health and Healing.
