What was claimed

Chlorine Dioxide cures 98% of all diseases — Backed by Over 100,000 Patents! Malaria gone in hours. Cancer under attack. Autism symptoms reversed. HIV, arthritis, diabetes, Lyme, and even 'incurable' conditions

Our verdict

Inaccurate

There is no published evidence that chlorine dioxide cures diseases, much less 98% of them. Health authorities warn that ingesting these products is dangerous and not an approved treatment. No credible clinical evidence supports chlorine dioxide as a malaria treatment. Medical sources describe malaria-treatment claims as unsupported.
