Comments:

I understand and appreciate the FTC's goals and understand there may be fraudulent groups out there, but the FTC's proposed rule would unfairly target legitimate direct selling businesses such as Nature's Sunshine Products of Utah. Their supplements took me from 15 years of hospital stays, prescription drugs, doctor visits and constant illness to impeccable health almost thirty years ago. I have been recommending these products for most of that time to my friends, colleagues, family and anyone that wants to hear they can enjoy better health. The income derived from this selling opportunity has helped me to help others with their health AND their wealth. I could not be doing what I enjoy today without the income from this direct marketing company's fine products and opportunity. We receive excellent health education, meet new people, and bring a lot of light into this sick and tired world. I have grown from sickness to teaching nationally - in about 18 cities yearly as well as twice monthly in my own home town. I have thousands of people I have helped with these produts. In regards to the above citation, please understand that the Seven-Day Waiting Period casts direct selling plan in a negative light, leads to record keeping and administrative problemsand causes unnecessary delays in obtaining supplements for our health. The Litigation Reporting is unfair in that it does not distinguish between winning and losing lawsuits - and anyone can file lawsuits over ridiculous things. The References section can be impractical to find 10 nearest distributors in remote locations and I know this will raise privacy issues due to ID theft and safety of my members.
