"Liquid Zeolite" Inventor Sues Waiora?

Yes it’s true that back in March 2007, a lawsuit was filed against Waiora principles and Rik Deitsch (biochemist). The lawsuit plaintiff was Lifelink Pharmaceuticals and the reason for the lawsuit was "patent infringement". Here is  the link to the Waiora lawsuit.

Often when searching the internet, people looking for a zeolite scam, or trying to discredit the NCD product "Liquid Zeolite", someone will come across the Lifelink Pharmaceuticals lawsuit. Then mention of the "inventor" Harvey Kauffman comes up, and once again speculation swirls.

What I haven’t seen mentioned much is that the lawsuit against Waiora was settled out of court and the records were sealed, early in 2008. Nothing changed for Waiora. They continue to manufacture and sell the Original Liquid Zeolite.

There is always a story behind a story, and often many sides to a complicated story, and in the zeolite lawsuit case this is certainly true.I don’t know what happened because the settlement was private, but it is my opinion that it could have gone something like this…. Harvey Kauffman left Waiora and wanted to take the zeolite liquid formula with him to a new company. Waiora, however, had (and still has) marketing rights, and a contract, with Lifelink Pharmaceuticals. So Harvey Kaufman makes an offer to Lifelink to pay them more money than Waiora is paying them. First though, they need to somehow get out of their contract. They launch a frivolous lawsuit against Waiora and their principals, which they eventually realize they will not win. They settle out of court which leaves Kauffman in the lurch. 

Kauffman had tried to take the liquid zeolite formula to a company called Trilogy Essentials. After the lawsuit, Kauffman is no longer associated with Trilogy, The company is forced to change their zeolite formula, and eventually the Trilogy company sinks, and is bought out by a company called Liquidity.

That is how I suspect it unfolded.

What’s the bottom line? Waiora still holds the rights to distribution of the Original Liquid Zeolite product. The lawsuit between Lifelink Pharmaceuticals and Waiora was settled out of court in early 2008, and Harvey Kauffman seems to be no longer working with Trilogy Essentials since they lost the rights to the original formula.
