COVID-19, Dióxido de cloro, Pruebas clínicas randomizadas, Razonamiento críticoResumen
Desde hace algunos años, productos como el dióxido de cloro, clorito de sodio y suplemento mineral milagroso (o MMS por sus siglas en inglés), a pesar de no haber sido certificados como medicamentos, están siendo utilizados de manera alternativa por muchas personas para el tratamiento de diferentes enfermedades. Este uso se ha visto incrementado durante la actual crisis por la pandemia por COVID-19. En este documento, se proporciona una lista no exhaustiva de publicaciones científicas y advertencias oficiales respecto al uso potencialmente peligroso de estos productos en el área de la salud humana. Toda la información citada es bien conocida por profesionales de ramas afines a la bioquímica y farmacéutica, pero no siempre es accesible al público en general. Además, se proporcionan elementos de razonamiento crítico para ayudar a la población en general a procesar la evidencia científica disponible y así construir una opinión propia e independiente
