The Board of Medicine hereby gives notice that it has received a Petition for Declaratory Statement filed by Richard G. Mayer, M.D., on December 18, 2007. The Petitioner seeks the Board’s opinion as to whether providing patients with the option of participating in the home delivery program of a bottled natural mineral water (Sanfaustino) that is especially high in calcium will violate Sections 456.054 and 817.505, Florida Statutes. According to the Petition, patients would be instructed that they could obtain Sanfaustino mineral water in supermarkets and other stores that sell the product, or via the internet for home delivery. If patients choose the home delivery program, Petitioner’s practice would be entitled to remuneration by Sanfaustino (distributed exclusively in the U.S., by CCW Holdings, Inc.). The Board will consider this petition at its meeting scheduled for February 2, 2008, in Jacksonville, Florida.

Copies of the petition may be obtained by writing: Larry G. McPherson, Jr., Executive Director, Board of Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C03, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3253.
