Pharmac rejects funding bid for ADHD nutrient treatment

Pharmac DEN funding

Pharmac has declined an application to fund Daily Essential Nutrients (DEN), a nutritional treatment previously backed by an expert committee as a second-line treatment for ADHD.

University of Canterbury clinical psychologist Julia Rucklidge – interviewed multiple times on RCR – said Pharmac rejected the application because DEN is not a registered medicine. Rucklidge said therapeutic nutrients were being forced through the same pathways designed for pharmaceutical drugs, despite having different risk profiles.



DEN can cost hundreds of dollars per month, putting it out of reach for many. “The question is no longer whether there is evidence, but why is it so hard for the regulatory and funding systems to respond to it?” Rucklidge said.

  1. NZ’s globalist stooge government(s) support big pharma business and allows big pharma adverting on TV-hardly any nation worldwide allows this-which tells you all you need to know.

  2. We now have our own resident entrenched big pharma lackeys aiming to push poisonous substances onto unsuspecting victims under the ruse and guise brain washing and conditioning technique known as ‘safe proven effective’
    Operating illegally outside the law from behind the facade of government
    Which amounts to no more than Satanic child ritual sacrifice
    Do them no harm
    The reason postulated it is alleged so that our hospitals are not filled up with un immunized people suffering from acute influenza
    When in fact the opposite being the case in that that is what landed them in hospital in the first instance
    Because their bodies natural immune defense system was shut down by a weaponized toxic DNA altering experimental substance for a virus that as such does not exist
    Nothing to do with health but to bow down to the globalist agenda of depopulation
    Lies become truth
    Everything gets reversed and twisted around
    The mark of the beast
    Which identifies who these devils are and whose agenda and purpose they serve
    And who always get others to do their bidding

  3. ADHD is a big pharma scam to sell the drug ritalin to kids.It’s a big money maker for the drug cartel.
    Big pharma is an evil money making racket.
