I have had problems getting responses from a University (until I received some useful advice regarding the Freedom of Information Act, and put in a FOIA request), a Chiropractic Association, an alternative medicine “Research Institute” and (after I had asked a question in the wake of the Rath affair) I actually had some difficulty getting a response from organisations and individuals involved in Nutritional Therapy.

ION, EHPM, and Patrick Holford all remained silent, while (ironically, given the above blog post) the only response I did get was from BANT – who stated that they had no opinion to offer.
