Andreas Kalcker - A Mostly False Claims Promoter of Chlorine Dioxide

Andreas Kalcker is a German biophysicist who has been researching chlorine dioxide for more than 13 years. He lives in Switzerland and is a key figure in a sprawling movement that hails toxic bleach as a “miracle” medical treatment.

The German scientist has been a prominent promoter of the controversial MMS or Chlorine Dioxide Solution, which can cause stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and intoxication or even kidney failure. He is also a leading proponent of the myth that the substance can cure a wide range of diseases including autism and cancer.

He has teamed up with a group of 3000 doctors, called COMUSAV to advocate for the use of chlorine dioxide. Their campaign gained traction in Latin America and drew the support of left-wing governments.

Authorities have accused Andreas Kalcker of promoting the dangerous bleach substance in Argentina as a cure for a number of illnesses. The charges could carry up to 25 years in prison if found to have caused death or injury, according to legal documents seen by Insider.

A video shared online by Kalcker, who is not a registered doctor, claims that he has discovered that chlorinated water can prevent and cure COVID-19, which causes an inflamed immune system and is a major cause of autism. He says the treatment can help to eliminate pathogens, improve oxygen levels in the blood and increase energy.

But Kalcker’s claims are based on bogus research and have not been verified by the scientific community. We rate his claim as Mostly False and we urge readers to seek the advice of their medical professionals before taking any action.

As well as his website, which features a wealth of information on the benefits of the substance, Kalcker has produced two books and three patents. He has also been the founder of a non-profit organization, the Swiss Association for Natural Scientific Biophysics.

His book, Forbidden Health – Incurable was Yesterday, is a collection of studies he has conducted on various diseases. It is a comprehensive work of more than 400 pages and contains testimonials from people who have used the chemical to cure their ailments.

In 2019, Amazon removed a dozen books by Kalcker and Jim Humble, the self-appointed archbishop of a church that advocates for MMS, after the company found the books to be false.

He also founded a website with hundreds of pages that promote MMS, along with other chemicals, as a possible cure for AIDS, cancer, diabetes and autism.

Kalcker, who is a devoted follower of Jim Humble, is one of the most active promoters of MMS in Germany and other German speaking countries. He has a large following on social media and is often cited in videos posted by MMS promoters across Latin America.
