We're old enough to remember when everyone regardless of age, race or economic status would defend free speech as the corner-stone of democracy.
We're also old enough to remember when corporate media, via magazines, newspapers and TV were the only means of sharing ideas.
Then along came the Internet. Social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Youtube gave a voice to everyone and all points of view.
We're now told free speech is dangerous. Free speech can hurt people. Free speech needs to be restricted.
Apparently, free speech can only be free when as few people as possible can express it.
The rules and restrictions surrounding free speech on social media imply we're not intelligent or mature enough to handle free speech. Yet we're intelligent and mature enough to get jobs, pay bills, build relationships, better ourselves, handle the emotional trauma of death, disease and all the other disappointments and struggles we all face.
But free speech? Let us relieve you of that burden, our caring governments and social media corporations whisper in our ears. Let us do the thinking, you have enough to worry about.
Will enough of us value free speech? Will enough of us reply, your role is to protect free speech, not restrict it!
We Invite you to watch actor Rowan Atkinson in the video below. He shares his views on free speech, highlighting the absurdities that occur when politicians & police make the rules on what we are allowed to say.
Free speech is when, "someone you don't like is allowed to say something you don't like." – Elon Musk
" I bought this on Ebay a few years ago and recently it stopped working. When I contacted SOTA they offered to cover it under warranty even though it's been a little over two years since I got it. They also sent me detailed instructions on how to check to see exactly what was wrong with it, and in the process I was able to fix it myself ^_^ An excellent experience! HIghly recommend SOTA water ozonator as well as the company. ~ Amazon Reviews

Updated Cautions & Best Uses for SOTA Units
Bio Tuner We are removing suggested restrictions on the number of daily sessions for the Bio Tuner: All references to frequency of use now indicate, "the unit can be used daily or as often as needed spaced throughout the day.".
We are also updating the cautions that apply to the Bio Tuner as follows: "If you experience headaches or nerve pain when using the unit please try Modes 4, 5 & 6 as they have a gentler output. If headaches or nerve pain persist, please discontinue use."
Water Ozonator As with the Bio Tuner we are removing all limitations on the daily amount of Ozonated Water that may be consumed. As always, listen to your body to determine what is appropriate for you.
LightWorks We are also removing the following caution for the LightWorks products: "Caution is advised if using the LightWorks Pad on the face – please use protective eyewear, such as tanning goggles."
Recent research has shown red and near infra-red light applied to the eyes is beneficial for a few minutes per day.

It was all well until the January event when Tonga faced two natural hazards at once, causing much damage to most of the island of Tonga. Ashes from the volcanic eruption caused damage to plants for rain was not poured until two weeks time, and the sun burned the land surface. Tsunami hits coastal areas and some were forcing their way inland. After a month, COVID-19 hits the shore of Tonga, causing many weeks of lock-down.

"My son started using the silver pulser out of desperation ... he had no energy, lost his spark, couldn't work long without exhaustion, never feeling he got enough sleep even though he slept from 5pm to 7am trying to catch up. I asked him what he'd rate his level of wellbeing from 1-10 ten being fantastic, he said 3.
He immediately responded to the short intro sessions with the pulser, feeling energy upon waking so he's now begun 2 hour sessions, just finished his 3rd today... I asked his wellbeing rating again and he said a solid 7. I'm so grateful for this technology ...
Blessings on your house and much respect for carrying the torch as you have all these years.

"Glad to see you are still in business after all these years. I bought a Silver Pulser from you back in 2009 ... The only time I ever use the unit is to make colloidal silver water. I use it with baking soda each night to brush my teeth and dental orthotic.
... thank you for supporting health freedom and the truckers convoy

"Your products make a real difference in my life a 74 yr old Vietnam veteran living with some challenging issues.
I own three mag pulsers and use them for HOURS each day ... I also use two light paddles for approx two hours a day. I wish your light panel was more affordable but I understand that quality cost. One suggestion is that sometimes the paddle arms get in the way especially if using the paddles while lying down ... How about designing unit with removal paddle arms? Keep up the great work that you do.

"Thank you for sharing the video - I'm confident the Trucker's Convoy is going to be a part of history in ways we currently cannot imagine.
Whoa ... some of the comments you received about it! As info and truth unfolds, I wonder how those who have flung the critic's bane at the rest of us will feel about their wrath towards us. Will they acknowledge their propensity for polishing their glasses with vitriol?
One thing for certain, most of us who have stayed standing in the midst of pandemic mania will require no apology or amends. Our good health will hold our gratitude wrapped in genuine compassion as the consequences of compliance unfold ...
