Pythagoras' Trousers

The Bleachgate Scandal
Speaker: Rhys Morgan
In August last year, shot to Internet fame after uploading a video to Twitter. The video told of how Rhys, a sufferer of Crohn’s disease, had sought help and support for his condition in an online forum. On that website, he came across a product called Miracle Mineral Solution, which claimed not only to be a cure for Crohn’s disease but also many other conditions including cancer. To Rhys, the product looked too good to be true. Having also recently come across the skeptical community, who in part try to raise awareness of the dangers of non-conventional medicine, he was inspired to investigate the claims. Rhys will talk on what he discovered, the backlash that resulted and the impact it has had.
