An American pastor from New Jersey backed by a British former clairvoyant is running a network that gives up to 50,000 Ugandans a “miracle cure” made from industrial bleach, claiming drinking the toxic fluid eradicates cancer, HIV/Aids, malaria and most other diseases.

Baldwin, 52, is importing bulk shipments of the components of MMS, sodium chlorite and citric acid, into Uganda from China.

As an inducement, Baldwin is offering smartphones to those clerics who are especially “committed” to spreading the bleach cure.

The “church” advertises itself as “using the power of Almighty God … to greatly reduce the loss of life” in Africa.

“We don’t want to draw any attention,” he said during the call, a recording of which has been heard by the Guardian.

“When you draw attention to MMS you run the risk of getting in trouble with the government or drug companies.

The Guardian contacted Baldwin by phone in New Jersey and asked the pastor to explain his work in Uganda. »
