What Jim Humble calls a cure for cancer and autism, feds say is nothing more than industrial bleach (ABC News)

The founder of a fringe "church" who had claimed a chemical solution could cure virtually any disease, from autism to cancer to herpes, said he takes it back - just days after ABC News tracked him down in Mexico to ask about the dangerous game prosecutors say his church is playing with desperate people.

"There are certainly times I have said some things that I probably should have said differently. For lack of a better way to express things at the time - or because others put words in my mouth, in the past I have stated that MMS cures most of all diseases. Today, I say that MMS cures nothing!" Jim Humble, founder and archbishop of the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing, wrote in a newsletter posted on the church's website Thursday.

But while federal prosecutors say MMS, Miracle Mineral Solution, is really just industrial bleach, Humble maintained in his note that it, along with "various other important health tools," can "combat the ill effects of poor foods, and chemicals that make us sick."

U.S. officials and medical experts told ABC News that it's the MMS that can make people very sick, as shown Friday on ABC News "20/20".

...The newsletter with Humble's apparent dramatic reversal on the "cure" claims came this week amid a flood of emails into an ABC News reporter's inbox from MMS supporters - hundreds of emails that came in the wake of ABC News' first online report Wednesday calling it and later reports lies.
