From a British newspaper:

Alert issued on danger supplement
Food watchdogs have issued an alert after finding that a chemical marketed online as a health supplement was similar to industrial-strength bleach.
'Miracle Mineral Supplement' is 28% sodium chlorite (UK spelling) - which becomes bleach when mixed with citric acid.
Even taken as instructed, experts say it can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea - and mixing it wrongly could lead to respiratory failure.
So if you've gotten away with this so far, STOP TAKING IT!
