The Genesis II Church of Health and Healing has been claiming chlorine dioxide is a "miracle cure".
For years it has sold the industrial bleach as Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS), stating it can cure things like autism, acne, cancer, diabetes and now COVID-19.
MMS is not approved for human consumption in Australia.
It is being sold as "water purification drops" on the website of the Australian chapter of the church, MMS Australia.
Following
an investigation by 7.30 last week, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) on Wednesday announced it had issued 12 infringement notices totalling $151,200 to MMS Australia for alleged unlawful advertising of Miracle Mineral Solution and other medicines.
