Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to QT 5, Inc. (the "Company") in connection
with the registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form SB-2
of 60,177,520 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.15 (the
"Shares"), 5,270,854 of which have been issued to certain selling shareholders
and the remainder of which may be issued to certain selling shareholders upon
conversion of those certain 6% Convertible Debentures issued by the Company on
August 22, 2003 or upon the exercise of certain warrants, including those
warrants that were issued in conjunction with the issuance of the 6% Convertible
Debentures. In connection with this registration, we have reviewed the
proceedings of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the
registration and the issuance (or the proposed issuance) of the Shares, the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation and all amendments thereto, the Bylaws of
the Company and all amendments thereto, and such other documents and matters as
we have deemed necessary to render the following opinion.

         Based upon that review, it is our opinion that the Shares now issued,
as well as the Shares that may be issued upon conversion of the 6% Convertible
Debentures or exercise of the warrants, will be legally issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

         We do not find it necessary for the purposes of this opinion to cover,
and accordingly we express no opinion as to, the application of the securities
or blue sky laws of the various states as to the issuance and sale of the
Shares.

         We consent to the use of this opinion in the registration statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the
registration of the Shares and to the reference to our firm under the heading
"Experts" in the registration statement.

                                            RICHARDSON & PATEL LLP
