Liquid Zeolite Lawsuit: Inventor vs Waiora

Liquid Zeolite as a product has sure had its battles! You can certainly tell by all the Internet attention this product has received. It is true, in March 2007, Waiora and biochemist Rik Deitsch were named in a “patent infringement” lawsuit. The lawsuit against Waiora principles was filed by the inventor of Liquid Zeolite, Harvey Kauffman.

I perform regular searches in Google looking for new information about NCD, Waiora, Liquid Zeolite and I even regularly search for some of the most prominent supporters and educators for Liquid Zeolite including Shelley Penney and Rick Sopias. I had seen a few things about a lawsuit but I couldn’t find any resolution. Until recently, I read a post from Shelley on her Liquid Zeolite Book site about it including backlinks to the actual Waiora lawsuit.

It appears that the inventor wanted to take the original formula for Liquid Zeolite to another company called Trilogy but there were already contracts in place. The lawsuit was settled out of court in 2008 and the records were sealed. The inventor Harvey Kauffman has never been seen again and Trilogy ended up getting bought out by a company named Liquidity.

I think the bottom line here is that Waiora continues to distribute the product and since the lawsuit was settled in 2008 there has been no further action against the company and NCD and Waiora are still in business with Liquid Zeolite.

I definitely wondered at first what this was all about, but it seems to me to be nothing big. I’m not sure why the inventor decided to leave, perhaps he was offered more money somewhere else… It’s all speculation. However, it appears that the lawsuit itself has little to do with the effectiveness of the Liquid Zeolite product and the company is doing business as usual.
