6. Dissemination of misinformation in Japan
Despite the retraction of the paper, there is a situation where misinformation about Kriya Hops is being deliberately spread in Japan.
Green Zone Japan translated the information in the United States in an article on June 15, 2019
Later, during the trial, the article was temporarily locked so that it could not be viewed by the public.
It will be open to the public again after the trial is over.
I have made inquiries to the Japan company that I was dealing with at the time I wrote the article,
We have not contacted Bomi Joseph.
In other words, it is an article based on only one point of view.
