    “These people were outrageous,” Kemp said. There was “no safety testing, no analysis of the product to see what was in it.” He said that the person who developed the water treatment process for Real Water bought the titanium tubes “from some Russian guy in the 80s” and spent four to five months making alkaline waters in his garage, working until he had a formula that didn’t make him vomit or have diarrhea.

    So woo-woo water with no oversight until people die from being poisoned. Science has to cone in and explain basic chemistry to these titans of industry, which they no doubt reject.

    Just call it Q-water and keep it pumping. It’ll work itself out in a couple of years. Pairs well with ivermectin.

      In the article, it discusses young children and infants whose livers were severely affected by the toxicity. My first thought was “Why are people giving this to infants??”

        I’ve been drinking this polluted city water my whole life that gives me impure thoughts regarding the same sex. But with this water I can start my child off right.

      Small business owner here. Good regulations are what allows my customers to trust me, or at least trust that I’m not willing to go to prison for lying about my product, or worse.

    “RE²AL WATER”

    Your honor our product clearly does not attempt to advertise itself as “real water”, motion to dismiss.

    Did you know regular water contains a chemical used in rocket fuel, too? Yeah, Oxygen. Saying it “contained chemicals also found in rocket fuel” is just click bait. Not saying Real Water didn’t have issues or should be forgiven, just that sensationalist headlines are dumb.
