Total money lost $10,000,000
Type of a scam Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare
Enagic, Kangen machine company, sent out a compliance newsletter on Oct 23, 2019 stating that it does not support, endorse, or approve and book/publication with medical claims. Despite the warning, I have seen Kangen distributors make health claims, use videos, images, books, publications for sales pitches. Mr. Robert Young, Kangen distributor, has used the concept of alkaline water to treat cancer patients resulting deaths.
The health benefits of alkaline water are unproven and even disproved by reputable third party organizations/institutions/individuals. Enagic themselves do not support such medical claims either.
Each machine costs upto $6000. Kangen water is multi-level-marketing so the scam grows exponentially, world-wide.
