TruBqwa by Jon Wesick

TruBqwa

Do you suffer from excessive earwax? Does itching keep you up at night? Do your loved ones accuse you of ignoring them? Have you taken out a second mortgage to pay for Q-tips? Now, you can find relief with TruBqwa. Clinical studies show that thirty-two, daily injections of TruBqwa reduce earwax by forty percent.

Not all insurance plans cover TruBqwa. When taking TruBqwa, avoid gamma radiation, spider bites, and encounters with alien superintelligences.

In rare instances, TruBqwa can cause wasps in the liver, hacksaws and drill bits sprouting from the skin, reverse evolution, thirst for human blood, cannibalism, transformation into a beetle, and xenomorphs bursting from the abdomen. If you develop an allergy to ragweed or craving for Mexican food, seek medical care immediately as these can indicate a life-threatening condition.

Never miss a loved one’s complaint again. Ask your doctor if TruBqwa is right for you.
