MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution), an industrial-strength bleach derivative that has been marketed for many health problems, has been subjected to enforcement actions in several countries because it is ineffective and dangerous. Last May, an RTE Prime Time television documentary
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq3CNk1lugsfocused on Magee's prescription of MMS for the treatment of an autistic child. His interim suspension follows a panel ruling last December which restricted his practice to closely supervised practice at his clinic. Magee has operated Synergy Healthcare

The GMC's concerns about him have not yet been disclosed but are likely to be related to his advocacy of MMS. Interim suspension is usually followed by a fitness-to-practice hearing.
