SUMMARY
FDA's warning letter to Mark Grenon, Joseph Grenon, Jordan Grenon, and Jim Humble, addressed care of Genesis 2 Church, dated 8 April 2020. Fetched directly (page retrieved via the Internet Archive Wayback Machine snapshot of fda.gov, 2026-07-18, since fda.gov returns HTTP 403 to automated fetches). States FDA and FTC reviewed the recipients' websites (genesis2church.is/.ch, g2churchnews.org, g2voice.is, jimhumble.co) between 27-31 March 2020 and found the site newg2sacraments.org offering Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS, chlorine dioxide) for sale with claims to cure, mitigate, treat, prevent, or diagnose COVID-19. Quotes verbatim dosing instructions and testimonial claims from jimhumble.co and g2churchnews.org, including a claim that '14 people who were confirmed cases of COVID-19 (in Europe), took MMS and have recovered their health' and dosing instructions of '6 drops activated MMS in 4 ounces of water every two hours.' Cites Mark Grenon and Joseph Grenon speaking on a G2Voice broadcast at two separate timestamps: at minute 1:45, Mark Grenon says 'The Coronavirus is curable, do you believe it? You better . . .' (standalone, no reply quoted); at minute 49:57, Mark Grenon says 'The Coronavirus is curable, you believe that? You better . . . it's wicked good stuff Joe,' and Joseph Grenon replies, 'MMS will kill it.' States MMS is an unapproved new drug under FD&C Act section 505(a) (21 U.S.C. Sec 355(a)) and a misbranded drug under section 502(f)(1) (21 U.S.C. Sec 352(f)(1)). Notes FDA had previously warned consumers about MMS's dangerous and potentially life-threatening side effects.
NOTES
The FDA’s own warning letter, retrieved via an Internet Archive snapshot of fda.gov (the live page returns HTTP 403 to automated fetches; the Wayback Machine copy carries the same official FDA HTML and letter text). It is cited here for its verbatim quotations of the recipients’ website claims and dosing instructions, the identity of all four named recipients (Mark Grenon, Joseph Grenon, Jordan Grenon, and Jim Humble; the later criminal case added Jonathan Grenon as a defendant but did not charge Humble), and the exact statutory violations charged. It is the direct source for the case’s disconfirmation-stage claim that regulators quoted the operation’s own marketing language back to it as the basis for the “unapproved and misbranded drug” finding.
