URGENT NATIONAL CALL TO ACTION from Fluoride Free NZ

BREAKING NEWS The New Zealand government has announced that they are asking for public submissions on a pending application to exempt fluoride (HFA and SSF) from the New Zealand Medicine’s Act, with a closing date of 9th January 2015.

THIS UNPRECEDENTED ATTACK COULD CLOSE THE DOOR TO ANY FUTURE LITIGATION BY US

We need urgent help before the 9th of January.

We need everyone to put in an URGENT submission saying why fluoride should NOT be granted a legal exemption.

We have pre-written forms (Go to article), so it’s quick and easy, if you are pressed for time. But we also want as many original, personal and professional submissions as possible, if you can manage one at this busy time of year.

They can either be emailed or posted (see details below).

A final decision on the proposed amendment is likely to be taken in late January or early February 2015 following consideration by the Minister and Cabinet. If approved, the new regulation is likely to come into force in February or March 2015.

This has come about as a result of a Judicial Review against the Ministry of Health in November 2014. (See here for the full judgement)

The most shocking thing is that in his judgement the judge advised the Ministry of Health’s legal team to apply for this exemption for fluoride in water supplies. Exempting fluoride in water supplies would be unprecedented. As yet, no exemptions have been issued for ingested substances, so if this exemption is granted, fluoride would be the first. This could close the door to planned future legal challenges on fluoridation in New Zealand.

We would appreciate your help very much, and would be grateful if you could please forward this request to any other medical, science or legal professional you know who might be able to make a submission or forward it on to their own networks.

It can also be printed out and duplicated for public distribution in any way you see fit.

Many thanks,
