Dr Blayney's Practice - [pg 3]

Frequently Asked Questions & Topics:

[1] What to believe about HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy)? There are bad reports in the media!

[2] What is the FRNZCGP on the end of Dr Blayney's letters? And what is "Vocational Registration?"

[3] What IPA (Independent Practitioner Association) or PHO does the practice belong to?

[4] What is the truth about not having Grapefruit with certain medicines?

[5] How can you improve diabetic control by changing from reactive to proactive management of your insulin therapy?

[6] Why do you support fluoridation of our water? I was concerned about the unscientific and unsubstantiated claims of those actively opposing
fluoridation, so I researched the literature and tried to find any basis for their claims. The result is my extensive (but Indexed)
STDC Fluoride Submission to the STDC.
I also made a submission to the Government Select Committee on 1 Jan 2017 supporting a move to have the Ministry of Health
(rather than DHBs or Territorial Authorities) deciding on the fluoridation of drinking water.
See Submission on Fluoridation Amendment
