Crime Writers On...True Crime Review
True Crime
Believing they’ve found the cure to aches and pains and serious diseases, Jim Humble and Mark Grenon create a church espousing the use of the Miracle Mineral Solution. But what people are consuming isn’t medicine - it’s diluted bleach. MMS is sold around the world, promoted by the church as a panacea for malaria, autism, cancer and all common ailments. Activists urge the FDA to take action to prevent further injuries and deaths associated with MMS. Just as the media begins to expose the scam, the bleach regimen gets an unexpected endorsement as a treatment for COVID-19.
From Neon Hum Media, Bloomberg & Sony Music Entertainment, “Smoke Screen: Deadly Cure” follows the rise and fall of a family who pushed a dangerous product on people looking for alternative medicine. Host Kristen V. Brown also spotlights the armchair detectives who tracked the Grenons and their allies. Did they believe MMS was a religious sacrament or was it just a cover to sell poison?
