A social media influencer is under fire for promoting a dangerous and discredited chemical as a so-called "autism cure," despite alarming reports of serious harm to children.
Kerri Rivera, who has over 17,000 followers on Instagram, encourages parents to administer chlorine dioxide (CD)—an industrial bleach used in textile manufacturing and disinfection—orally and by enema to their autistic children. Rivera falsely claims this "protocol" rids the body of parasites she believes cause autism.
