Chris Cuomo's wife says she's bathed in bleach as she recovers from coronavirus.

[Cattledog]

I think she has watched too many of Trump's briefings!

“I added ½ cup ONLY of Clorox to a full bath of warm water to combat the radiation and metals in my system and oxygenate it,” Cristina wrote. “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 … There is no danger in doing this.”

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. I don't get it? What is so funny about that?

Your rolling on the floor with laughter has me SMH.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Because it's completely ridiculous?

[Ferrets are Cool]

5. Well, it's not like she is drinking it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Bathing in it is only slightly less stupid than drinking it,

especially if you think it's going to neutralize the heavy metals that are slowing up the electromagnetic frequency of your energy field. Jeez.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

11. Yep, she's a kook.

Wow.

[Kali]

13. actually bathing in it has some usefulness

for things like skin infections (MRSA) but the "reasons" she is stating?

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. I just spent 3 1/2 months on antibiotics for MRSA.

No one ever suggested bleach, thank the gods.

[Kali]

24. this is for surface infection

at about the concentration in the OP - 1/2 cup to tub of water, soak for 15 minutes or so

I hope you are over that! OMG, we haven't talked in a while.

[greatauntoftriplets]

26. Just heard Chris Cuomo himself say that his wife uses a capful of bleach and baking soda.

I'm over it, except that it can flare up in the future. Strangely enough, I never felt sick from it. No pain, just red skin.

[Drahthaardogs]

37. It's good if you are having surgery

It will reduce staph colonies on your skin.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

38. It's stupid if you're doing it because you think your heavy metals

are clogging up the energy in your cells.

[Drahthaardogs]

41. Oh God yes

Lol

[Ace Rothstein]

25. +1

[womanofthehills]

39. If I had the virus, I might want to bathe in bleach

Just to make me feel cleaner. It ‘s kinda like buying toilet paper - one little thing you can do whether it ‘s based in reality or not.

[Drahthaardogs]

36. Because it's fucking insane

And has no scientific basis at all. I took a bleach bath every night for a week before knee replacement. It was to kill staph...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Methinks the woo is strong with that one.

[nolabear]

4. Oh dear...kids, need I say it?

Do NOT do this at home. I mean, pools are chlorinated but...no.

[whttevrr]

6. Wow... Did anyone tell Chris?

He is right now on CNN lambasting kooky remedies.



:derp:

[Marrah_Goodman]

32. Bwahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

[imavoter]

7. ok....I guess I should read the article

but that excerpt is a little woo.

I will say however, if you are having bad bacterial staff infections...not me, but my ex kept getting MRSA
on his forehead and hair. He did bathe in a diluted bleach solution. And we actually finally got rid of it. Took 6 months. That wasn't the only thing we did, but I'm sure it helped. Well, I had to bathe in it too, so I wouldn't get it. I didn't.

And I do know that they medically use it in wound care for decubitus ulcers. There's a product called Vashe and others used for that. It has bleach.

[Kali]

14. yep

if you can't afford the prescription products, bleach is just as good.

[lunasun]

9. Yeah my biggest concern would be heavy metals if I had the virus and soaking in bleach would be

the way to go because what? Why? Oh , her energy field? OK
No just no

34. long article, but I highlighted the bleach section

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4552962/

Bleach, or sodium hypochlorite, has antimicrobial activity against S. aureus both in vivo and in vitro. Dilute bleach water baths have traditionally been recommended by dermatologists to treat eczema, presumably by suppressing S. aureus growth, which is correlated with disease severity [173–177]. The recommended dilution of bleach varies [91, 101, 146, 173, 176]. An in vitro assay determined that the hypochlorite concentration necessary for maximal S. aureus killing was 2.5 μL of 6% hypochlorite per mL of water (equal to approximately ½ cup bleach in ¼ bathtub full of water), with an exposure time of 15 minutes yielding a >4-log decrease in S. aureus [175]. In clinical practice, to minimize skin irritation, a dilution of ¼ cup household bleach in ¼ bathtub (~13 gal) of water is recommended; for non-standard bathtubs, 1 teaspoon of bleach should be added per gallon of water. Individuals should soak in the dilute bleach water for 15 minutes. As household bleach is readily available and inexpensive, bleach baths are attractive for the purpose of decolonization. Additionally, soaking body areas that are frequently colonized with S. aureus (e.g. the groin and axillae) likely provides optimal antimicrobial effect. However, in large families, this strategy may be cumbersome and impractical. A recent feasibility study evaluated a body wash gel preparation of sodium hypochlorite (CLn BodyWash, Top MD Skin Care, Inc., Dallas, TX) in atopic dermatitis patients whose eczematous lesions yielded S. aureus [177]. Over 12 weeks, patients experienced significant improvement in severity of their atopic dermatitis; parents reported that the body wash was easier to administer than dilute bleach water baths.

10. that is a formula used on webmd for other ailments.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. But not this one, and not to neutralize your heavy metals

that are harshing the mellow of your cells' energy. Or some such tripe.

[peacebuzzard]

22. no. not this disease. web based protocols need to be scrutinized

and reviewed carefully.
Webmd is not the final word for anything, anyway. Not by a long shot.

The Gaia Yoga web site has more info on mellowing cells energy...

[msongs]

15. what if she bleaches her aura nt

[peggysue2]

16. Calling Marianne Williamson, anyone????

Yikes! But no more ridiculous than disinfectant injections or 'getting light inside the body' to cure Covid-19.

No one can match Trump for Stupid of the Day.

[LeftInTX]

21. She's not the president...LOL

And what she's doing is harmless.

It won't do any good, but it's harmless

[helpisontheway]

17. She has all these natural remedies and vitamin

combinations that she has been giving Chris and her son. She did the same thing to help her recover from covid too. Did not see anything about the bleach bath on her instagram page.

[MerryBlooms]

18. She probably read on line it's a MRSA thing,

worst possible thing she could think of besides covid… I am not going to laugh at her.

[BGBD]

19. That's a lot of bleech

You can safely add a little bleech to water if you need to disinfect the water in an emergency situation and still drink that water without a problem. However, it's at a ratio of about a teaspoon per 12 gallon. There are 24 teaspoon in a 1/2 cup. So, that's what you'd use for close to 300 gallons, not the ~50 gallons that could possibly fit in a bathtub with you in it too. So, that's about 600% more bleech than you should use.

Of course, she's not drinking it, but it's still not a great idea.

[TheBlackAdder]

40. My Red Cross First Aid training--1 tbps or capfull per gallon to sterilize it in one hour to drink.

[TomSlick]

20. Bleach in the bath water for heavy metals, radiation and "good energy flow?"

Wouldn't a tinfoil cap be more effective?

[orleans]

27. i'm hoping she was joking. (btw -- weird joke) n/t

[KentuckyWoman]

28. Actually.. .. bleach baths have a purpose.

An acquantance has rheumatoid. For the last 2 years it has been attacking her skin. Basically nearly every inch of her skin has sores caused by a bacterial overgrowth secondary to the RA. She ended up in quite a bad position when the bacteria got into her blood. It was touch and go for many weeks.

Part of the treatment plan now is 1/2 cup bleach in a full tub for 15 to 20 minutes once a month, in addition to her regular routine. In the beginning it was weekly. If the sores get bad again she goes back to weekly. This is mainstream medicine in addition to her meds, diet, etc.

It works.... on bacteria.

[Skittles]

29. she sounds ridiculous

surely this is covid fever

[OhioChick]

44. Just sent a text to my kids about this....

Their response......

[Skittles]

45. seriously

she sounds like she is in the bum trip tent at Woodstock

[OhioChick]

46. Doesn't surprise me.....

When he spoke on his show about his wife pumping him up with all sorts of homeopathic remedies.

If she really did this bleach bath and believes it's cured/helped her, she's just as nuts as trump.

[ananda]

30. I did read that cv can affect the brain.

...

[Marrah_Goodman]

31. FACEPALM

[3catwoman3]

33. Here is a link to an article from the Aneircan Academy...

...of Dermatology, discussing the benefits of bleach baths for pediatric eczema. The first time I heard about this, it sounded nuts and I thought someone was yanking my chain. Not so.

The heavy metal stuff does sound rather out there.

[Under The Radar]

42. Neutralize the heavy metals? Lady just take off the jewelry

[xmas74]

43. A coworker is recovering from covid

She said in the beginning she found herself constantly looking for anything that might help. As long as it wasn't harmful she tried it.

It sounds silly but let her have it. It won't kill her and if she feels better, so be it. (Yes, even if it does absolutely nothing.)
