"The War on Chlorine Dioxide" Is Now Published: Why a Simple Compound Became Too Dangerous to Discuss
When a subject threatens a business model built on chronic disease management, curiosity towards simple solutions becomes heresy. Booksellers run. Platforms get twitchy. So we went around them.
When I began researching the book, originally a Substack series that grew into something larger, one of the first things I learned was that before 2020, chlorine dioxide was openly discussed. Social media allowed discussion. Amazon carried pamphlets and small books.
Then COVID arrived, and the subject vanished. Information was scrubbed, discussion declared “illegal,” or more precisely, “in violation of community guidelines.” That was censorship in action, and as usual, most people never noticed.
The most telling is what they did to Mark Grenon and his three sons. Mark is likely the most experienced chlorine dioxide practitioner alive today, and during my research and writing of the book, he became a friend and colleague.
They had been selling (and giving away to those who couldn’t afford) chlorine dioxide at a truly modest cost for ten years, that is, until April 2020, when, after he refused to answer a threatening “cease and desist” letter from the FDA, officers from literally ten different law enforcement and regulatory agencies raided his house, helicopter overhead, accompanied by the local ABC news team filming the whole thing to beam it into millions of living rooms, as if it were a public service announcement.
Mark and one son were in Colombia at the time, so the FDA politely asked Colombian authorities to arrest and imprison them, followed by their extradition to the U.S where they were sentenced to five years in federal prison (with release in the fifth year), while his other sons received the same sentence plus an extraordinary additional punishment: one of the longest contempt-of-court sentences in modern U.S. history — seven and a half extra years.
So this genius thought it would be a good idea to write a book about the topic. Yup.
But, here’s the thing: The “crime” I committed was the same behavior I have always pursued, simply following data, mechanisms, and clinical experiences wherever they led. Unfortunately, they led somewhere inconvenient, somewhere that doesn’t fit neatly into the stories we’re allowed to tell about cheap, unpatentable therapies with disturbingly broad activity across numerous illness categories.
This book examines a molecule that has been deliberately mischaracterized, rhetorically flattened, and quietly removed from serious scientific discussion, not because it lacks data, but because it lacks profitability. Chlorine dioxide has been reduced to a single word, bleach, in much the same way other inconvenient ideas are reduced to labels, so no one has to look too closely at mechanisms, history, or outcomes.
What you will find in this book is a forensic reconstruction of how a cheap, widely used chemical, employed globally in water purification, food sanitation, and industrial processes, became untouchable the moment people began discovering its therapeutic implications. Problem: it can’t be owned, branded, or controlled, thus it is verboten in modern Medicine. I was about to write “American” medicine, but that is simply not true. One of the most disturbing aspects of the book is the evidence I provide on the global reach of the suppression of discussion and restrictions on research. Every. Single. Country.
When something threatens a business model, the fastest way to neutralize it is to caricature it. Call it bleach. Call it quackery. Call it settled. This book documents exactly how much effort went into preventing that knowledge from reaching you in a serious, highly referenced, comprehensive way. Read the book.
Recall the lesson behind “The Kory Scale,” which is that suppression is much more revealing of efficacy than its refutation. However, that suppression has not been total. And that is one of the discoveries I am most proud of in this book's research.
