BLOG POST    INGEST CLOROX?         NOT!

A young man in his twenties was deeply depressed. When he came into hospital,  I encountered him on my general surgery  rotation.

He had undergone a surgical procedure to drain his saliva externally. He was being fed via TPN-- Total Parenteral Nutrition--via an IV.

He needed to heal; but, he was unable to get any nutrition via his GI tract. He had to receive the protein, minerals, and vitamins required to accomplish the healing of his wounds through an IV.

Eventually, he would undergo additional surgery—once he healed sufficiently – to make a connection from his upper esophagus to his colon.

His esophagus, stomach and part of his small intestine had been eroded—destroyed – by his ingestion of Clorox and Drano.

He had tried to commit suicide. Instead, he destroyed much of his GI tract and subjected himself to numerous surgeries to endeavor to correct damage he had inflicted…. upon himself.

Yesterday, President of the United States suggested the  INGESTION OF CLOROX BY MOUTH  as a preventative or a treatment to ward off infection with the Covid 19. It is not true.

IT IS NOT TRUE. You cannot prevent or treat a viral infection by ingesting Clorox.

DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING THAT!
