2. DHMO is colourless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO.

For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death. What is DHMO? (Literally a piece of cake handed on a silver spoon!!)
