Sulfuric acid is one way, not the way, I suggest you read this before shooting your mouth of further.

As for the anions, they are produced in the product by adding monazite, which contains an average of 7% thorium.  Just 25g of monazite has a mSv/y of 62.  Compare that to the 0.1 mSv/y permissible in drinking water, which is the same as a single chest x-ray,  and you should be able to form a more reasoned impression of who the half wit is.

 

Per year.  0.1 mSv/y versus the 0.035 mSv from a single short flight. 

0.1 per year would be 0.00027 per day, the same exposure as a short flight for every 129 days of drinking water.
