-Short Attention Span Theater-

And they call Trump ‘dangerous’? Turns out, Chris Cuomo’s wife was bathing in bleach to fight coronavirus

2020-04-25

[BIZPACREVIEW] CNN political commentator Chris Cuomo’s wife, Cristina, is facing criticism from practically everybody — except anybody at CNN, of course — for promoting a “crackpot coronavirus treatment” that’s been dubbed “dangerous.”

In a post to her blog published this week, the left-wing host’s wife listed the pseudoscientific holistic methods she’s been employing to treat her coronavirus infection. One of those methods involves bathing in Clorox bleach.

“At the direction of my doctor, Dr. Linda Lancaster, who reminded me that this is an oxygen-depleting virus, she suggested I take a bath and add a nominal amount of bleach. Yes, bleach,” the post reads.

Lancaster is not a doctor. She’s a self-described “naturopathic physician and homeopath” who boasts an ND and PhD, but not an MD. According to Jennifer Gunter, an actual doctor, Lancaster is known for spouting “nonsense,” not surprisingly.

“So, I add a small amount– ½ cup ONLY–of Clorox to a full bath of warm water–why? To combat the radiation and metals in my system and oxygenate it,” the post continues.
Pay attention now. She's doing science.

I believe that is a common treatment for eczema, to reduce the irritation response to normal skin bacteria. But this explanation is not nearly as interesting as combatting systemic radiation and metals, not to mention oxygenating. Could this be where President Trump go his ideas about hydrogen peroxide?

Cristina then shares the following quote from Lancaster: “We want to neutralize heavy metals because they slow-up the electromagnetic frequency of our cells, which is our energy field, and we need a good flow of energy. Clorox is sodium chloride — which is technically salt. There is no danger in doing this. It is a simple naturopathic treatment that has been used for over 75 years to oxygenate the cells.”

#14 Clorox in one's nether regions? How safe can that be ?
Besoeker I was serverly burned on my arms many years ago. Every day I was put in a warm tub of water and then the nurse poured clorox right from the bottle into the water to disinfect the burns to avoid infection. No problem.

#12 WM, you need to get it from the horse's mouth to get the full flavor:

She knows a lot of stuff, but it's mostly wrong

#11 ^ Oh, she'd enlighten you...if you could tolerate listening to her long enough...then you'd be as enlightened as she is.

#10 Household bleach, like Chlorox, is dilute sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), NOT sodium chloride (NaCl). Chlorox and like bleaches are in the 2-6% range of NaOCl in water, with a buffer of sodium hydroxide (roughly 1% of the NaOCl concentration) to slow decomposition in the bottle, which happens continuously. When it decomposes, it usually decomposes into NaCl and NaClO3. Unless she drinks this, it should do no harm. It will likely break down on contact with the tub and her skin. I stumble when she says it's to "combat the radiation and metals in my system and oxygenate it". And the "neutralize heavy metals because they slow-up the electromagnetic frequency of our cells" floors me. (Not the same as Floor Jansen.) I just don't see that, and can't see a path. If anyone can enlighten me, please do. Nothing electronic is mentioned - grasping at straws here. What she is going doesn't sounds dangerous, and may be less dangerous than a public pool.

#8 Hot tubs have more bleach than that. She's crazy, but that's the least of her lunacy.

#6 I thought you just walked around like normal infecting whomever and call anyone that recognizes you and calls you on it an arsehole. That was her husbands prescription anyway.

#2 Remember when putting bleach in junkie shooting parlors was going to stop HIV?

#1 A bit harsh, but who hasn't had a few whiffs of bleach when cleaning something? Who knows, maybe the vapors would slow down coronavirus.

And if her skin was ok after that, then that's fine.

Maybe visiting a chlorinated pool would be more understandable.
