A 62-year-old Bradenton man and his three sons are facing federal charges in Miami for allegedly peddling a toxic bleach as a cure for COVID-19.
Mark Grenon and sons Jonathan Grenon, 34, Jordan Grenon, 26, and Joseph Grenon, 32, are accused of manufacturing, promoting, and selling their Miracle Mineral Solution as a coronavirus treatment even though the ingredients are typically used for industrial water treatment or bleaching textiles, pulp, and paper, according to court documents.
They are charged with conspiracy to defraud the U.S., conspiracy to violate the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, and criminal contempt.
The Grenons allegedly attempted to avoid government regulation by setting up a company called the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing.
The FBI raided the Genesis II Church in Bradenton Wednesday and seized ingredients including 50 gallons of muriatic acid, 8,300 pounds of sodium chloride, and 22 gallons of the finished Miracle Mineral Solution product.
The Food and Drug Administration warned consumers not to drink sodium chloride products such as Miracle Mineral Solution because it can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, and life-threatening low blood pressure among other symptoms.
The FDA has received reports of people requiring hospitalization, developing life-threatening conditions, and dying after drinking MMS.
