What the War on Chlorine Dioxide Reveals About Medicine

For over a century, remarkable therapies have been suppressed to maintain a medical monopoly at the expense of humanity

A Midwestern Doctor

Aug 06, 2026

Story at a Glance:

  • Modern medicine is built around costly, narrowly approved drugs that treat (but rarely cure) specific disease franchises, with regulatory approval correlating more strongly with money spent than with real therapeutic value.
  • To enforce this, for over a century the same institutions, backed by vast fortunes, have repeatedly sidelined broader or cheaper therapies that threatened those franchises.
  • The same playbook is used again and again—once a therapy threatens a market, claims of “no evidence” or doctored research amplified by the media will allow regulators to clamp down on the “dangerous and unproven” therapy until it becomes forgotten to history.
  • In this article, I will illustrate how the exact same playbook was used again and again on numerous transformative medical discoveries endorsed by leading physicians of the era, resulting in nearly every one (e.g., UVBI and numerous cancer treatments) becoming largely forgotten despite immense evidence behind them.
  • This same playbook was used throughout COVID-19 to eliminate the off-patent therapies that threatened the boondoggle. One of these, chlorine dioxide, was not only repeatedly shown to eliminate COVID outbreaks, but also to do the same with malaria, where it likewise was banned.
  • Pierre Kory and Jenna McCarthy’s recent book The War on Chlorine Dioxide provides a critical body of evidence that chlorine dioxide has treated a myriad of challenging conditions, and that each time it did, a robust censorship apparatus erased those discoveries and retaliated against the discovers—providing a poignant illustration of the medical monopoly in action.

**Comment**

It’s imperative to read and understand this article in full.

The author goes through the history of medicine, medical monopolization, the AMA’s and FDA’s monopolization of medicine, and how anyone who discovers a cheap, effective treatment is mercilessly attacked. It then gives a section on chlorine dioxide which includes a documentary on it which Youtube predictably removed. This is how effective treatments or inconvenient truths (vaccines are implicated in bodily damage, including death) are ‘disappeared.’ The ‘authorities’ do such a thorough job of this that the layman is completely bamboozled into believing that nothing but ‘approved’ treatments work.

It’s all a big sham.

On a personal note: I’ve been using chlorine dioxide (MMS1 – protocol 1,000) for 26 days now after having some sort of GI issue that mandated I be 5 feet from a bathroom at all times and at times even that wasn’t close enough! After doing a bit of sleuthing and talking to others, I learned that there have been cyclospora outbreaks in 49 states. I highly recommend watching Dr. Lee Merrit‘s video on the topic. Her website (found in the first link with her name) has protocols, videos, and very helpful information. I am not certain I had cyclospora and even my Lyme literate doctor (LLMD) told me testing is abysmal for this. The parasite is NOT shed with each bowel movement, requiring numerous samples and current testing is based upon one sample. Plus, like all tiny, nasty critters, they are microscopic and very hard to find.

In short, when field workers are paid by the pound or bushel, they don’t want to take the time to walk an acre to the portapotty, so they go in the field. Cyclospora is a parasite (protozoan) that is spread the feces to oral route via fresh produce. Washing produce isn’t enough as the parasite is microscopic.

In my case (and I am not diagnosing or treating anyone) I used MMS1 (chlorine dioxide) protocol 1,000 which is 15 activated drops (chlorite & an acid – either hydrochloric acid or citric acid to activate it). This is put in a glass liter bottle from which you drink 1/2 C hourly for 8 hours. I simply set the timer and chug it down. If I leave the house (which hasn’t been very often in the past month due to the lovely issue at hand) I put the bottle in a cooler with an ice pack, set my phone timer and continue to chug hourly.

Word of warning: please, please read about this substance. You want to start slowly – like ONE drop. I ain’t kidding. Stay with this single drop (of each) until you do not react at all. Then, move up to only TWO drops, etc. Do not go too fast. It alone can cause diarrhea and massive die off making you feel lousy. And I mean lousy. And yes, I found this out the hard way. Through Dr. Merritt I also learned that the acid (either HCL or citric acid) is what often causes the smell and taste issues and that our own stomach acid is enough for activation; however, not knowing for certain if my stomach acid is up to snuff, I decided to compromise by adding half the amount of acid to chlorite. So since I’m taking about 15 drops of chlorite, I usually take around 6 drops of acid to activate it for 40 seconds before putting it in the liter bottle and topping it off with water. It’s important to read about it thoroughly before using.

Besides the MMS1 I also threw in oil of oregano, cinnamon, and clove essential oils (put in capsules), took two forms of garlic capsules, and artemisinin. I was going to top it off with Alinia but had to stop these antiparasitics due to some testing I’m having done called “Doctor’s Data” stool test which looks for parasites and tells you what good guy and bad guy bacteria they find. It’s very thorough but it does NOT test for cyclospora.

I highly recommend the very simple and straightforward book: “Lyme Disease Non-Medial Diagnosis and Treatment: How I Kicked Chronic Lyme Disease in One Year for Pennies.” By Herb “Roi” Richards.

John Miller Was So Sick With Chronic Lyme Disease He Was Passing Out

In the following article and video, Dr. Julian Douwes of St. George Hospital states that Miller was ‘cured’ of Lyme disease. Please note what I wrote in the comment section:

“BS. I spoke with Douwes’ father at a convention on this very topic and he was at least honest enough to admit patients need follow up or ‘tune ups.’ This is not cured. There is no cure for Lyme/MSIDS – you maintain it like diabetes. I’m not stating the treatment doesn’t have merit and won’t help patients. I’m solely addressing the ‘cured’ issue. Further, 3 weeks is far too soon to be declaring anyone ‘cured.’ Since this is relapsing in nature due to pleomorphism (organism shape shifting to go dormant when threatened) it might take weeks, months, or even years to relapse with symptoms.

It’s important to note that under Jauregg’s treatment of syphilis with malaria, several patients died after being given a potent strain.”

John Miller was so sick with chronic Lyme disease he was passing out

Question Everything

John Miller was so sick with chronic Lyme disease he was passing out and could barely take part in life.

He flew to a clinic in Germany and after three weeks, he came home cured.

“We heat the body to 106.8 Fahrenheit,” says Dr. Julian Douwes of St. George Hospital. “It has been shown that the spirochetes, the bacteria behind Lyme disease, actually dies off at that temperature.”

Antibiotics can’t reach chronic Lyme. “It’s in the brain. It’s intracellular. They have a lot of immune evading mechanisms.”

The idea won a Nobel Prize in 1927. Syphilis comes from the same family of bacteria as Lyme, and back then there were no antibiotics. So Julius Wagner-Jauregg injected his syphilis patients with the blood of malaria patients. The fever spikes cured them. He had 18 patients. 16 came out of a wheelchair.

Meanwhile, chronic Lyme patients today are being “ignored and tossed away.”

“They actually have a positive lab test and people still tell them your symptoms are not valid, your symptoms do not exist, chronic Lyme doesn’t exist.”

The treatment isn’t available in the United States.

**Comment**

It’s also important to clarify that hyperthermia is NOT the only modality used at St. George’s. IV antibiotics are also used as well as detoxification protocols and physical therapy. It also says that with patients with ‘confirmed’ coinfections, they use photodynamic therapy and apheresis. It’s important to point out that it’s highly likely you must test positive on tests that are wrong upto 90% of the time. So – you won’t get treated for coinfections which are as bad if not worse than Lyme.

Actor Dennis Quaid Joins Secretary Kennedy to Discuss Lyme Disease

Kennedy and Quaid do not discuss treatments for Lyme. The title below is misleading. What they do discuss is that HHS is supposedly throwing a lot of money at research which up until now has done ZERO to help sick patients. I don’t expect this latest PR stunt to do much either. I pray I’m wrong. Go here for the reasons why.

Actor Dennis Quaid joins Secretary Kennedy to discuss treatments for Lyme disease


by CHARLOTTE HAZARD | The National News Desk Mon, August 17, 2026

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and actor Dennis Quaid teamed up Monday to make an announcement about furthering research about Lyme disease.

“At HHS, we are taking bold new actions against Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, and other tick-borne diseases—accelerating research, improving care, and driving new treatments,” Kennedy wrote on the social media platform, X. “Millions of Americans need faster diagnoses, better care, and real answers.”

In a video attached to the post, Quaid said that his friend, the late Kris Kristofferson spent years living with Alzheimer’s.

“But Alzheimer’s wasn’t the problem,” Quaid said. “He actually had Lyme disease and when the doctors finally diagnosed him correctly in 2016 and started the right treatment, his symptoms did improve.”

Kennedy said that HHS is investing millions of dollars in innovation to develop AI-powered tools to help improve patient care. (See link for article and videos)

**Comment**

This would be a tad more believable if it didn’t include a Hollywood actor, but here we are.

I don’t trust AI powered tools as far as I can throw them. Throwing millions of dollars into research won’t do a thing either as long as that research continues to skirt truth of persistent/relapsing infection, pleomorphism (shape shifting organism), and polymicrobialism (the involvement of other organisms).

The physician locator on the HHS website takes you directly to the ILADS (International Lyme and Associated Diseases Syndrome) website. Further, when I typed in Wisconsin, a bunch of doctors popped up I do not know at all, which is not a good sign. They might have taken a ‘fundamentals’ course but that does not make them experienced in treating this beast.

Further, this is a pretty tough thing to treat via telemedicine, which many of the doctors on the list offer.

Huge WIN For Medical Freedom Over COVID Censorship

The Jimmy Dore Show

Aug. 11, 2026

This segment focuses on a legal challenge to California’s COVID-19 misinformation law, arguing that doctors should retain First Amendment protections when discussing medical information and treatment options with patients. Attorney Richard Jaffe tells Jimmy that after earlier rulings treated doctor-patient advice as regulable “conduct,” a later Supreme Court decision on protected therapeutic speech changed the legal landscape, leading a federal judge to rule in favor of three doctors challenging California’s restrictions.

Dr. Pierre Kory argues that the case has implications far beyond COVID-19 because allowing governments or medical boards to dictate what physicians may say could suppress medical dissent and independent judgment. The three characterize the ruling as a major victory for doctors’ and patients’ freedom of medical discussion, while also crediting legal organizations that supported the litigation.

Another Take on Dapsone Protocols: Dr. Marty Ross

Dapsone for Lyme Persisters. A Miracle Antibiotic?

https://treatlyme.com/guide/dapsone-lyme-persisters/

Updated: July 31, 2026

Horowitz Dapsone Protocols: Risks vs Benefits Explained

About Dapsone & Persisters

Dapsone, a Leprosy drug, can help some with treatment-resistant Lyme and Bartonella due to persisters plus treatment resistant Babesia. In 2016, Richard Horowitz, MD, and Phyllis Freeman, PhD, published research on 100 patients. The study showed 59 percent of people had improvements with dapsone of 100 mg or less.

More recently, Dr. Horowitz has continued refining a higher-dose approach, publishing a more detailed double-dose/high-dose protocol in 2023.

However, my experience with dapsone is mixed. While it helps some, it is also a very difficult medicine for many to take.

In this article, I review:

  • my experience with this novel medicine,
  • a specific antibiotic protocol that includes dapsone as a normal-dose regimen,
  • how to decrease side effects and Herxheimer reactions on dapsone,
  • the risks of using dapsone,
  • the chances for treatment success using a dapsone regimen, and
  • a detailed look at, and critique of, Dr. Horowitz’s newer double-dose/high-dose protocol and why I don’t support it.

**Comment**

I always appreciate doctors who share their clinical experience. It’s sometimes the only way we can gather intel on whether or not we should try a certain treatment. Case in point – I wrote about my severe psychosis after taking disulfiram, followed by another practitioner’s experiences in ameliorating symptoms as well as an update on a few points of consideration.

So, while Dapsone may be a perfect fit for some, it may not for others.

This is another point that never makes the news. Reactions to treatment varies widely in Lymeland, probably because some have been infected for years and their bodies are simply overwhelmed, making another drug appear to be a toxin by the body.

Dr. Ross points out the following issues:

  • You shouldn’t take Dapsone if your G6PD levels are low.
  • Dapsone blocks folate metabolism which can lead to anemia
  • Dapsone suppressed bone marrow which can also lead to anemia
  • Dapsone is a harsh drug that causes severe herxes, allergic rash, methemoglobinemia, and many side effects

The article contains Horowitz’s 2016 Dapsone regimen. Ross states he does not recommend the Dought or high dose Dapsone protocol and doesn’t offer it in his practice. He also points out that Horowitz’s 2023 paper which offered HDDCT to 50 patients, but only 25 are considered in the results leaving one to ask how many dropped out due to side effects. Further, Horowitz is the treating physician, the sole study author, and one of three others from his practice who performed the validation and analysis. There was no control group, no blinding, no independent review, and no oversight.

Ross does feel; however, that some sho failed other treatments could consider the normal-dose dapsone 100mg protocol if carefully monitored.
