Four Florida Individuals Found Guilty of Distributing Bleach Treatment

Miami Beach is famous, but this case turned it into Miami bleach. In just 30 minutes, a Miami federal jury convicted four Florida men for selling Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS). The defendants claimed that MMS could cure 95% of known illnesses, including HIV/AIDS, autism, Alzheimer’s Disease, leukemia, and Covid-19. However, there is no evidence to support these claims, unless the intention is to poison oneself with bleach to avoid other diseases.

The defendants, all related, are Mark Grenon (65 years old), Jonathan Grenon (37 years old), Joseph Grenon (35 years old), and Jordan Grenon (29 years old). They sold approximately one million dollars worth of MMS through a website associated with the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing. During the trial, prosecutors revealed that the Grenons referred to themselves as “bishops” and promoted MMS as “sacraments,” urging people to donate to the Church for these so-called “sacraments.” However, calling oneself a Church does not make it a legitimate religious organization.

In 2016, an ABC News report exposed some of the questionable claims made by this “Church.”

In August 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a public warning about MMS. I covered this story for Forbes at the time. The FDA described MMS as a solution with 28% sodium chlorite mixed in distilled water. When mixed with citric acid, it creates chlorine dioxide, a powerful bleaching agent. The FDA also noted that they had received numerous reports of consumers falling sick after consuming these products, which were sold online as “treatments.” The reported adverse effects included severe vomiting, severe diarrhea, life-threatening low blood pressure due to dehydration, and acute liver failure. Drinking something like bleach can have serious consequences.

The FDA successfully shut down the Grenons’ fake church operation the following year. Despite a federal court banning the sale of MMS, Mark Grenon wrote a letter to then-President Donald Trump about MMS. The purpose of this letter remains unclear. Fast forward to the present week, the father and one son (Joseph) had left the country and had to be extradited from Colombia. Due to the ongoing extradition process, they could not be held in contempt for continuing to sell MMS in 2020. However, the other two sons, Jonathan and Gordon, were found guilty of contempt by the Miami jury. As a result, they could face life imprisonment. All four defendants were found guilty of conspiring to defraud the U.S. government and FDA, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

Although the defendants represented themselves, they remained largely silent until the verdict was reached. Joseph Grenon responded, “We will be appealing.”

Making unsubstantiated health claims about a potentially dangerous product is not appealing. On their Genesis website, the Grenons made statements such as “Don’t fear this coronavirus. Fear the Vaccine and meds!” In a video, Mark Grenon falsely claimed that MMS is “tremendously effective in curing cancer.” It is evident that drinking bleach will not create a disease-free world.
