Pseudoscientific Cancer ‘Treatment’ Involves Gassing Naked People in Plastic Bags With Bleach
Key takeaways
- The typical “protocol” sees users ingest several drops of chlorine dioxide solution daily.
- Jessel said in the podcast that he had asked a private messaging group of other chlorine dioxide influencers if anyone had ever tried Kalcker’s so-called Protocol G, and no one responded.
- “Protocol G, obviously, is probably the most dangerous protocol out of all of them,” Jessel said, adding: “Nobody's ever done it.
Why this matters: a development in AI with implications for how people work, create, and decide.

A clinic in London, run by a former maker of artisanal ice cream, is treating patients with stage 4 cancer using a method that involves sealing them, naked from the neck down, in a plastic bag while gassing them with the oxidizing industrial bleach chlorine dioxide—a treatment that even the person administering it admits is “dangerous.”
Alastair Jessel, who operates the Battersea Park Clinic in south London, spoke earlier this month on a podcast popular among those who believe that chlorine dioxide is a miracle cure that can be used to treat everything from cancer and HIV to Covid-19 and autism.
“Having people naked in a bag, which in a clinic situation is probably what a lot of doctors have to face, but as an entrepreneur sitting in front of a naked person in front of me is something I hadn't sort of planned on doing in the last few years, but what it's achieving has been really quite incredible,” Jessel told a podcast focusing on chlorine dioxide earlier this month.
