Red Cross Suppressed A Cure For Malaria in 2012, Causing Over Half A Million People To Die Every Year Since

Pierre Kory, MD, MPAAug 18, 2025

More evidence that international health care organizations (and all governmental health care and regulatory agencies) are fully captured by Big Pharma.

I am going to start this post out with my standard declaration that: 1) I am not suicidal, 2) I am in good health, and 3) I am living my best life. For what that is worth.

The Red Cross Malaria Trial

“The Water Reference Center (WRC)” is a research center within the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). In 2012, their CEO at the time, Klaas Proesmans, conducted a study testing the efficacy of a common water purification agent called chlorine dioxide to treat malaria. The treatment consisted of increasing the concentration in cups of drinking water to levels above those typically used solely for water purification. Note that this effective treatment was first accidentally discovered by an applied scientist working in Nigeria in 1982, as I reported in this prior post.

In that study, the WRC and the Ugandan Red Cross identified 154 patients from the community around Iganga, Uganda, using skin pricks to gather drops of blood from patients suspected of being ill with malaria. They then placed the blood on slides and examined them under a microscope to look for the malaria parasite. Then they treated the patients who were positive for malaria by giving them cups of water to drink that had been treated with chlorine dioxide in the form of what Jim Humble called “Master Mineral Solution” (a mixture of sodium chlorite and hydrochloric acid). They then had the patients return to the testing/study center daily for re-testing and clinical follow-up.

They rapidly cured 154 malaria patients within two days. Sounds historic, right? A cure for malaria had been found! But no, it was not to be. Not even close.

As word of the trial and its success began to circulate, the “authorities” sprang into action, culminating in the Ugandan Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) issuing statements denying any official involvement in the study. They then went even further, stating that no formal clinical trial or endorsement of MMS took place under their auspices. The IFRC also added that “chlorine dioxide is not approved for the treatment of malaria and that any suggestion of Red Cross involvement was misleading.” They even got the CEO of the Water Reference Center who had planned and conducted the trial… to deny it ever happened.

Interestingly, none of the statements above were published in an official Press Release or statement; they were instead communicated solely via quotes in an interview with an investigative journalist in a blatantly obvious “debunking article” published by Business Insider.

First, I will review the extensive evidence verifying both the conduct and results of that trial. Then I will cover the above “Disinformation Response” from the media and the Red Cross in more detail. However, to understand the importance of the documented evidence that I will provide below, you need to know that the Business Insider article tried to “debunk” the claim that the trial was done by: 1) claiming it never took place, and 2) that Red Cross officials were “duped” into taking part. Yes, I know, the argument contradicts itself – either the trial never took place or Red Cross officials were “duped” into taking part, you can’t have both. Later, you will see how they later reconciled those two statements.

Documentation of the Trial And its Results

Problem #1 for the Red Cross: During my research for this post, I came across a website where someone named Santiago Cabrera uploaded the full project plan for the trial by the Water Reference Center. After paying $11.99, I was able to download the document, which I include here for those interested:

Most damning is the Table of Contents where you can clearly see that “Klaas” (Proesmans) drafted Version 1.0 of the document in the below right corner, where it is dated November 16, 2012:

Here is an AI-generated summary of the document:

The objective of the project plan in the document is to conduct a water purification pilot case in Uganda through the Water Reference Center (WRC). The pilot aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using chlorine dioxide (ClO2) and sodium chlorite (NaClO2) for purifying water, with a specific focus on any positive side effects in the fight against malaria.

Key goals of the project include:

Performing field tests in malaria-infested areas in Uganda, leveraging the expertise of the Uganda Red Cross Society.

Documenting the outcomes in a comprehensive report and audiovisual material (Ed: this latter objective is important as you will see below).

Establishing a “center of excellence” in the pilot location for ongoing research and development within the Red Cross/Red Crescent network.

Coordinating between private sustainable businesses, research institutions, academic bodies, and humanitarian organizations to advance water purification technologies and their deployment.

The project also includes clear planning for communication, testing protocols, and legal terms of engagement among involved parties.

Overall, the project is designed to validate the water purification approach, assess its broader health impact, and promote sustainable water treatment solutions within vulnerable communities.

Problem #2 for the Red Cross: As stated in #2 of the project plan above, they planned to document the outcomes using “audiovisual material.” Thus the documentary of the trial had been planned beforehand (and later paid handsomely for) by the Water Reference Center, likely because the organizers of the study strongly suspected it would be a success (Jim Humble and many others in Africa had been covertly curing malaria with MMS for almost 2 decades at that point).

So a team of filmmakers documented the entire study from start to finish? “Real world evidence” as it were. And not just any filmmaker. The cameraman was… Mustaque Abdallah … who became one of the top filmmakers in Uganda?

[…]

From accounts I have read online, and in an interview with Mark Grenon who had helped train one of the study investigators in how to treat malaria with MMS), what happened next is that, since the Red Cross and Proesmans were denying that the trial took place, Leo Koehof, a Dutch humanitarian and one of the other principal organizers of the trial, defiantly posted the documentary on YouTube in 2013.

Oddly, YouTube did not take it down until the Business Insider article was published in 2019.

Now, lets take a close look at all the documented evidence compiled in the documentary.

The Red Cross Trial Documentary (can be viewed here on BitChute)

Even before I discovered that the cameraman became a highly regarded and accomplished filmmaker, it was clear from the quality of the documentary (expertly blended cuts and montages of “B-roll” scenes and sit-down interviews with all those involved in the planning and conduct of the trial) that it was a planned film project by an expert filmmaker. Of note, I emailed the Mustaque Abdallah for an interview, but have not heard back.

Most importantly, the vast majority of the commentary and interview footage in the documentary was with the principal investigator of the trial who drafted the project plan above – “Klaas” Proesmans, an ex-Belgian Special Forces soldier who, at the time of the trial, was the CEO and founder of the Water Reference Center (WRF), a “research” unit of the Red Cross.

Damning no? His CV on LinkedIn is also impressive, having worked in the aviation industry as the Director of Operations at Virgin Express Airlines before going into full-time humanitarian work, first for Virgin Airlines and then as an independent consultant before volunteering for the WRC.

In the documentary interviews with the key participants, the language used indicates that the interviews were conducted both during and soon after the trial (as planned), and before the dissemination of results.

[…]

Next, he states that “it has been said that the use of sodium chlorite cleans the body within one hour to four hours of the malaria parasite.” Tellingly, he then states that he was also told “that it was too good to be true” and “not to go further and do an investigation.”

Hmm. So he is clearly positioning himself as being defiant of that directive because he immediately segues into explaining how Uganda was chosen for the trial.

Through our network, since we are affiliated with the International Red Cross, we contacted a number of national societies where malaria is present. One of them was Uganda.

He then explains the actions he took to make the trial happen, with astonishingly precise detail, by first contacting the National Society Secretary General of Uganda . . .

[…]

Not only does this convey a highly organized, detailed, and planned “investigation.” but he also almost covertly describes the intervention. He purposely does not mention they will be testing MMS [chlorine dioxide] and instead presents the treatment obliquely as simple “water purification,” in as subtle a manner as possible.

He says all this over a montage of footage showing Proesmans surrounded by Ugandans in Red Cross uniform shirts discussing something, followed by scenes of an open-air, roofed enclosure with dozens of Ugandan people sitting in chairs, and you see a flag of the Ugandan Red Cross hanging from the tent.

He then literally describes the sequence of actions they took to make the trial happen:

We started with mobilizing the local population. We had the use or the cooperation of the National Society. Lots of volunteers went on their bikes, bicycles, cars, motorbikes, whatever you have, all around the streets. The first day of operation, we gathered about 163 patients from all the villages around, and we identified only five malaria-positive people. She comes from far away? Yeah, she comes from far away. We do a little blood test, just a little prick, and then we do a quick strip malaria test.

This is said over footage showing a Red cross worker doing a finger prick under the tent, the Ugandans waiting, and then a shot of the test strips laid out on a worn table, and, for those with an observant eye, you can see a piece of paper in the corner of the frame with letterhead which reads “Water Reference Center” – the Red Cross research organization he was the CEO of at the time!

The following scenes include blood being smeared on slides, then placed under a microscope, and a shot of a Ugandan (I assume) technician (or clinician) peering into the microscope. You also see workers with Red Cross uniforms dispensing the MMS drops into cups of water.

Next, there is a scene where the subtitles introduce “Leo Koehof, author and publisher on health-related topics.”

[…]

In the documentary, you see Koehof next to aid workers, looking through results printed on a number of study documents before him. He says;

We have some test results, and the most amazing test results are coming from the prisoner, We have a prison here in Lukana. Yesterday, we did some blood proofs in the prisoner, and all of them were positive. Now, we did a second blood test, and all of them shows negative. So you can see that’s a very amazing result because there’s only 24 hours between it.

[…]

Hmm, seems the two Belgian humanitarians quickly developed some differences of opinion after the trial was completed. Interesting. I immediately decide I need to talk to Mr. Koehof. I start to research him, trying to find a contact, and discover that Koehof was deeply inspired by both Jim Humble and MMS, eventually writing nine books about MMS and/or Humble. One of his book titles was “Jim Humble in Europe,” which described Humble’s visits and activities there. Again, interesting.

Then I discovered that he died, which I learned from an Instagram post by the non-profit organization Kensad Children’s Hope (weird because he looked healthy and relatively young in the documentary (late 50s, early 60s).
