‘Miracle’ autism cure warning

The organisation responsible for licencing medicines in Ireland has again warned the public against buying a ‘miracle’ cure for cancer and autism, following the conviction of a man who sold the bleach product this week.

The Health Product Regulatory Authority’s caution comes following the conviction of Patrick Merlehan, who was found guilty on two charges related to the manufacture and supply of Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS), an unauthorised medicinal product on the Irish market.

John Lynch, director of compliance, HPRA, repeated the authority’s warning against buying MMS: “We continue to warn the public not to buy medicines from unregulated sources.
