There are a few unlucky people who are terminally ill and suffering terribly. They are not allowed to end their life and anybody helping them will be prosecuted. Then there are those, like this little 9-year-old, who are also terminally ill, but they want to live. She could be treated and her life could be saved, but the law does not allow it.
Please click the link and sign a petition to amend this law, so an exception can be made for compassionate use.

So why are they planning shortly to put toxic sodium fluoride in all NZ water supplies. If you really want to know more then go listen to Prof. Paul Connett who will be talking in the Cafler Suite, Forum North, tonight at 5.30pm Mon 12th feb.

Scotland whose children teeth were far worse than ours followed Denmark (according to WHO have lowest rate caries in the world) at have totally turned this around with millions in savings on dental costs.
