Jim Humble: Chlorine Dioxide and The Four-Hour Malaria Turnaround

In 2010, I was in Thailand looking to establish a teaching job, at the same time doing some soul searching, when a phone call put me on a path I didn’t expect. An old friend mentioned in passing that his nephew had told him about someone named “Humble” who was going around curing cancer. He couldn’t remember the full name, so I typed “humble cure” into a search engine and found an interview with a man named Jim Humble on Project Camelot.

“Sometimes a single phone call is all it takes to step off the map you were given and onto the one you were meant to walk.”

As I was watching it, something in me knew he was onto something real. All excited, I signed up for his newsletters. A few months later, he announced that he had founded a church—the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing—together with a missionary named Mark Grenon. Mark had already established a walled compound dedicated to missionary service in Barahona, Dominican Republic.

“It is entirely possible that you will save someone’s life, or your own”

Jim Humble

I had a strong feeling this might be a fleeting moment and that I had to go. Jim said in one of his newsletters that anyone with financial difficulties should let him know, so I wrote to him saying I was interested but didn’t really have the money to take his course, asking if I could exchange a month of service instead. He replied, “Come on down.” I sold everything I owned in the apartment I rented and booked a flight. All I had was a backpack with basic essentials that gave me the freedom to go wherever this incredible venture was going to take me.

What followed was eight unforgettable months living alongside Jim and the Grenon family—organizing books, designing labels and other graphic work, fixing things around the property, and absorbing everything I could about the infamous mineral MMS (Master Mineral Solution).

Jim wasn’t a doctor. He was a research engineer who spent nearly 25 years in the aerospace industry before a gold-mining trip to Guyana in 1996 changed everything. Two of his workers came down with malaria, and it would take a couple of days on foot to reach medical help, so in a moment of improvisation, Jim gave them a strong dose of water-purification drops he’d brought along. Four hours later, they were laughing about how sick they’d just been.

The next day it happened again when two more men got malaria, and Jim’s drink saved the day. You can imagine it didn’t stop there, and Jim continued experimenting with other health issues with incredible results.

I was there for a lot of what came after. I watched the mission grow, travel to Bulgaria, and take root in Colombia — and I watched the cost of it too, as the people closest to Jim’s work faced consequences most of us will never have to imagine.

Mark and his son Joe spent time in Bogotá before being extradited to the U.S. to serve the rest of their sentences. They’ve since been released, but his other two sons, Jonathan and Jordan, are still in prison, each serving a roughly twelve-and-a-half-year sentence.

Jim passed away in September 2023 at 90. I think about him often — about what it actually takes to hold onto something you believe is true when there is so much resistance.

Incredible how this story has unfolded — it wasn’t just about Jim, but about everything his discovery set in motion for me over the following years. If you want the rest of it, it’s in my book, Zolana: When You Know.

I’ve taken many photos in my travels and these photos take me back to Barahona and beyond. That’s Jim Humble sitting in the first picture, teaching a class. The second was graduation day for Kashambra and the next one is Mark Grenon at the post office, November 10, 2011 — our first stop before meeting Jim Humble for the first time. I had no idea that this first day would lead to approximately eight months of living and working alongside Jim Humble and Mark Grenon in the Dominican Republic.

Having spent eighteen years as a sign painter before everything went digital, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the art of hand painting was still alive and well in this part of the world when I arrived in Barahona on November 9, 2011, ahead of meeting Mark the next day.

Funny thing about that day: I spent the night there because I wasn’t able to get a message to them in time to pick me up, and I had never met or seen Mark before in my life. In the late morning with no response, I was looking for someone who could help me find the place. Fortunately, I found a young Christian man selling books who spoke English and found a taxi that could take me to the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing.

Then, all of a sudden, this man wearing a turquoise polo shirt, shorts, and sandals with a raspy voice comes into the hotel and asks if I’m Paul. I said yes. He said, “Come with me.” He seemed in a rush and wanted me out fast. I didn’t get a chance to tip the man who was trying to help me, and paranoia started setting in. You see, I knew I was about to get involved with something highly controversial and against the interests of big pharma, and I started to get nervous. I just prayed to God that this man wasn’t planning to take me out and that it was just my imagination. Turns out Mark thought the young man was begging for money and was just saving me from panhandlers. Haha.
