Prophet Rufus Phala of AK
Spiritual Christian Church in
Makgodu, Limpopo, South Africa
made his church members drink
Dettol, claiming the antiseptic
liquid will heal their sickness.
According to Daily Sun SA,
Prophet Rufus told the
congregation to drink the
disinfectant, promising they will
be healed of their sickness.
"I know Dettol is harmful,
but God instructed me to
use it. I was the first one
to drink it," he claimed,
adding that he has been
getting WhatsApp
messages from people
who say they have been
healed.
One Dr Mabowa Makhomisane,
said Dettol is harmless when
mixed with bath water or when
cleaning a wound.
"But if it goes into your
stomach and gets
absorbed into your body,
it decreases the amount of
oxygen in your system,"
he said. "This might cause
to you collapse and die. If
you vomit the liquid into
your lungs, it causes
aspiration pneumonia.
Your lungs will get
swollen and you won’t be
able to breathe." he
added.
Dr Makhomisane advised the
people who drank the liquid to
consult a doctor immediately.
And can't this pastor be arrested
for attempted murder?
