If you want to put something in the comment part at the end you could cut and paste something like this…

"It has been well documented that The European Commission granted a marketing authorisation valid throughout the European Union for Kuvan (BH4) on 2nd December 2008. Kuvan is now being freely prescribed and used in countries such as Netherlands, Spain, Germany, France and Italy not to mention Turkey, America and Canada - however the NHS is still resisting. There is sufficient efficacy to support the claim that Kuvan is safe and improves blood phenylalanine concentrations, relaxes diet therapy and may improve quality of life for many PKU patients."

You can also find the instructions on NSPKU Facebook page. Just look for the post on their page.
