Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Dear Friends, Here's what we have decided to do as a result of the new legislation in Australia that is destined to be harmonizing regulations for other countries in the world as well. This global regulation effort to vastly regulate natural health will be ongoing and we feel will become more and more restrictive. As a result of our experience with government over the past few years we realize that the energy behind these regulations are harmful to the well being of all. For three years we tried to work with this energy and meet government regulations. We finally came to the conclusion that this path was not the one SOTA could productively or honestly travel. Our business and our lives were absorbed in the process of appeasing and trying to live within the very limiting mental realm created by political over regulation. We are finally getting back to our roots—we started SOTA to care, to share, to free and be free, to create. Our experience in trying to work with government regulators has taught us that the two systems are in opposition, with the one very sick and the other very vital and alive. For this reason, SOTA is going to become a private community, where like-minded people can come together to share, to care and to learn from each other. Our units will only be available to members of this community. Both the governments of Canada and Australia have told us that as long as the intended use for our units are for lifestyle enhancement, relaxation and well-being we are considered consumer products rather than medical devices. It is only when claims or intended uses are for medical purposes that units become medical devices. We do not wish to be medical devices ... we know that path is one of ill health for SOTA, our customers and ourselves. Currently, our units are available for sale to the general public and the intended uses are as above. We have been working on this for many months and it will still take many months yet but our new program will change SOTA to a private community offering our units only to members. This will allow us to offer more information and our members to freely share information. At the same time we'll keep the intended uses as above in place ... thereby allowing us to better serve our members with more information and meeting to the best of our ability government regulations. The SOTA community will continue to have special programs for practitioners and retailers. More details will be shared in the coming months as we prepare to implement these changes. It will allow us share more freely and to live in a healthy environment.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 & , Extremely well said and I applaud you decision. South Africa is undergoing the same struggle. My sister and several other people I know are involved in that struggle. It is only a matter of time when it will be upon us in the US. We need to develop plans to protect ourselves from government stupidity. Please keep us informed on your progress.
