Amazon is selling books encouraging parents to feed their children toxic chemicals to cure their autism, it has been revealed.
The books claim autism – an incurable, congenital disorder – can be treated by drinking potentially toxic chemicals.
And among other touted cures for the condition are camel milk, electroconvulsive therapy, veganism, yoga and sex, an investigation by Wired has found.
In the book 'Healing the symptoms known as autism' parents are instructed on how to make chlorine dioxide, a type of industrial bleach, Wired reported
'Fight Autism and Win' promotes feeding children a medicine called DMSA which is used to treat lead poisoning and the FDA has warned against using without medical supervision
Books being sold on the subject include 'Healing the Symptoms Known as Autism' and 'Fight Autism and Win'.
In 'Healing the Symptoms', the authors reportedly tell the reader how to make chlorine dioxide, a solution sometimes called Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS).
MMS is claimed to have health benefits but none are proven and it is, in reality, is a disinfectant unfit for human consumption.
Chlorine dioxide is used to disinfect drinking water, to clean electronic circuit boards and to bleach paper and fabrics.
The US's Food and Drug Administration in 2010 specifically warned people not to drink MMS, which it called 'an industrial bleach that can cause serious harm to health'.
The FDA said anybody who had any MMS – which is wrongly claimed to be able to treat acne, cancer, flu, HIV and hepatitis – should throw it away immediately.
Its release read: 'This mixture produces chlorine dioxide, a potent bleach used for stripping textiles and industrial water treatment.
'High oral doses of this bleach, such as those recommended in the labeling, can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and symptoms of severe dehydration.'
In its 'Customers who viewed this item also viewed' section beneath the listing for 'Healing the Symptoms', Amazon recommends chlorine dioxide water purifying drops.
Wired even invented a fake e-book to sell on Amazon and, despite it being seven pages copied from a Wikipedia entry, it was accepted within two hours.
The fake book was titled 'How To Cure Autism: A guide to using chlorine dioxide to cure autism' and Amazon allegedly suggested it use the keywords 'autism cure' to market the book.
Wired removed the book as soon as the advertising campaign was approved, and confirmed it didn't sell any copies.
'No responsible retailer should be giving a platform to people who promote dangerous products to vulnerable families,' said Jane Harris, director of external affairs at the National Autistic Society.
'We must do everything we can to protect people from charlatans and quacks.'
The book 'Fight Autism and Win', Wired said, instructs parents to give their children a medicine called DMSA, which is used to treat lead poisoning.
The FDA has also told people not to administer this themselves after a five-year-old autistic boy died when he was given it in 2005.
'Fight Autism and Win' suggests children be given a solution every four hours for three days once a week.
The two books named in this article are available online in the UK and US.
MailOnline has contacted both books' authors for comment. Amazon declined to comment.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
