Merilyn is current President of Queenslanders for Safe Water, Air and Food
Inc, which evolved from Queenslanders Against Water Fluoridation – an
organisation she helped co-found in 2005. See: qawf.org
Merilyn has been a Medical Laboratory Scientist for 35 years and is interested
in many public health issues. Her concerns with water fluoridation began with
research in the 1980s and grew when a family member had chemical
sensitivity to fluoride, whilst living in fluoridated Townsville.
As fluoridation is forced mass medication and a breach of human rights,
Merilyn is working to help end the practice in Australia.
