Andreas Kalcker, prominent peddler of chlorine dioxide remedy, to appear at ‘Truth Seekers Conference’ in Miami

Donald Trump’s private golf resort in South Florida will next week host one of the world’s leading purveyors of chlorine dioxide, a potentially life-threatening form of industrial bleach that is claimed without evidence to be a cure for cancer, Covid and autism.

Andreas Kalcker is among 50 listed speakers at the “Truth Seekers Conference”, a two-day event opening on Thursday at the US president’s resort, Trump National Doral Miami. The event features several anti-vaxxers and other conspiracy theorists who have been brought together by the far-right commentator Charlie Ward.

Kalcker, a German national thought to be living in Switzerland, markets the bleach under the brand name “CDS”, for chlorine dioxide solution. His online brochures claim that the toxic chemical, which he admits is a disinfectant, can “eliminate pathogens” that cause disease.

I suggest all Trumpers take a good big drink out of the bleach bottle. So many problems would be solved.

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Do we have that much bleach?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I'll pitch in a tenner to buy more.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yes, we have plenty to spare.

They keep giving me hope this maga problem will solve itself

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It can. Bleach is quite effective at cell death through protein denaturation. The pesky problem of wanting to keep our other cells alive is the reason we don’t use it internally.

Reading this was a "technically they're correct"... it's like the speed doesn't kill, just the sudden stop at the end.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

It's used alot CSI, to get rid of blood evidence

[–] Monument 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You know what?

Their body, their choice.

I support their right to choose to drink or inject bleach into their own body.
I wish them the best of luck.

Take an extra dose just to be sure

[–] Alaik@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That comment is what got me permabanned for threatening someone with violence. Lol well telling them to take ivermectin and a nap also.

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

If that's considered threatening violence then someone really needs to open a dictionary. Threatening violence would be if I came over there and personally shoved bleach down their throats. Drinking it themselves is just fucking Darwinism.

“Why am I being arrested for poisoning my family? I only did what I was told at a Truth Seeker’s Conference!”

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Sounds like a great cure that should be pushed through the conservative media sphere and it's only not recommended because the deep state is keeping the cure from them.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

As long as they do a mass demonstration with themselves and the audience we're ok

[–] notabot@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

One might hope he's giving out free samples, but these things are rarely as convenient as that.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Trump talking about bleach for COVID was dumber than it was made out to be.

Never found it again, but if you see him walk up to the podium, he stops and reads a CDC infographic on sterilizing surfaces. The poster highlighted bleach and UV as effective solutions.

Like a child who skipped the reading assignment, Trump confidently steps onstage and starts talking about injecting bleach and UV. Seriously. It was even dumber than we make fun of.

It disappears quickly, but you can see the text you're talking about behind him.

I approve. I hope that this vital information that the ilerminaty has been trying to hide from the world reaches far and wide on Twitter and Facebook, so that all of the patriotic truth seekers start drinking bleach and cleansing themselves of those 5G signals that are making them sick.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

This is just the dumb people revolting and wanting to play make believe that they are smart because they saw actually smart and hard working people succeeding and got jealous

[–] coffeeismydrug@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

pretty sure drinking bleach causes cancer

[–] Roundeyegweilo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

I mean, let's be real. Bleach DOES kill covid and cancer.....

So let them ingest, inject, inhale whatever dumb shit they wanna do. See ya never fuckin dumb dumbs.

[–] Awa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Locked. This is not the place for political discussion.
