The wave of emotion on the web still rides the practice of administering powerful chemical disinfectants, including bleach, for “cure autism“. A practice condemned by doctors, but nothing is still obvious: social networks continue to teem with self -styled experts who ensure on the effectiveness of chlorine dioxide and similar stuff against autism.
This is the turn of that Kerri Riveraa former real estate agent who became homeopathic doctor and who is even praised on the net as one of the most prepared in the use of chlorine dioxide as part of a biomedical “protocol” against autism.
With over 17,000 followers on Instagram, the Rivera encourages parents to administer their autistic children of chlorine bioxide (CD)a potentially lethal chemical used to whiten fabrics and disinfect industrial surfaces.
Experts have lost time to define his false “disgusting” care, adding that they are “wrong, dangerous and harmful to autistic people and their families“.
It is no coincidence, in fact, that messages seen from The Independent From the private support group of Mrs. Rivera reveal that the parents reported vomiting, rashes, convulsions and urine from chemical smell in their children after following his advice.
A parent wrote: “I noticed an urine that stinks of ammonia in my daughter’s diapers … I guess these are the parasites that die and leave their toxins behind them. Is it a good sign feeling this smell?
Mrs. Rivera, who gives as absolute truth the fact that autism is caused by “parasites” and “worms”, habitually reassures the parents that these are signs that the treatment is working. Refers to symptoms like vomit And urticaria as proof that the body is “detoxifying“.

On her Amazon profile the Rivera previously sold books and equipment that promoted these false statements, but the page was removed following a petition led by activists.
Meanwhile, keep in mind that chlorine dioxide is a powerful oxidant and, if ingested, causes side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration. The Italian drug agency (AIFA) and other health authorities have issued notices against the use of chlorine dioxide products for unauthorized treatments. Autism is a neurological condition that lasts all life. There is no evidence that an autistic person can become non -autistic. It is not caused by viruses or parasites and there is no cure.
