Hi Emma,
I'm not sure which John Hammell you've been talking to lately, but the one in the attached article one refers to me as an IAHF ally...
Doesn't seem that long ago that John was saying, "IAHF is of the belief that the #1 health freedom fighter in the world today is Ron Law of New Zealand, and vitamin consumers world wide must rally behind him at the present time for the very important reasons discussed herein
as we come down to CRUNCH time."

RON LAW- THE NUMBER ONE HEALTH FREEDOM FIGHTER IN THE WORLD TODAY AND WHY:
Ron Law, Executive Director of NNFA New Zealand has been communicating with vitamin consumers world wide about this ongoing battle in New Zealand, and we've also been comparing notes on the wider International Battle which IADSA purports to be "helping" us with at Codex, while EHPM (European Health Product Manufacturers Assoc) purports to be "helping" us with the European Vitamin Directive.
Ron has been helping to expose IADSA for the fraudulent organization that it in fact is, its actually nothing more than a thoroughly bogus controlled opposition group, "led" by Randy Dennin, (employee of Pfizer) who recently had the NERVE to be CRITICAL of Ron Law for trying to get IADSA to issue a press release in defense of Kava Kava, which came under surrulous attack in the mass media right before the vote in the EU Parliament's Environmental Committee on the horribly restrictive EU Vitamin Directive.
While Ron (backed by vitamin consumers world wide) is still hoping IADSA will do the right thing by generating a press release defending Kava utilizing expert and very solid risk assessment criteria that Ron went to a great deal of time and trouble to hand them on a silver platter for this purpose, IAHF doubts very much that IADSA will issue the BADLY NEEDED press release defending Kava because IAHF believes that IADSA's real agenda all along has been to serve only the interests of pharmaceutical companies that are attempting to TAKE OVER the dietary supplement industry, while CONNING vitamin companies into BELIEVING IADSA is "defending their interests" while in REALITY, all it is, and all it has EVER been is a controlled opposition group.... (IAHF would love it if IADSA proved IAHF wrong on this score by generating a press release in defense of Kava Kava, and by openly declaring all current conflict of interest problems vis a vis EAS so as to root the painfully apparent CORRUPTION out of its organization, if IADSA would merely do that, IAHF could work with them, but as they are now, IAHF can only CONDEMN them.)
If we could have gotten 50% of the Parlimentarians on the EU's Environmental Committee to oppose the Directive by voting in favor of amendment one which would have killed the Directive, we'd all be out of the woods right now, world wide, due to how the EU Vitamin Directive threatens to impact CODEX.....
(Sadly, due in no small measure to EHPM's total unwillingness to oppose the EU Vitamin Directive due to their being dominated by pharmaceutical companies, and due to IADSA's total unwillingness to issue a press release defending Kava prior to the vote that just took place in the EU Environment Committee, we just got HAMMERED and it will be VERY VERY HARD to pull off a come from behind, "hail mary" upset against the Pharma Cartel in the imminently CORRUPT EU Parliament on March 14 when the full Parliament votes on the EU Vitamin Directive.
IAHF is of the belief that Ron Law has correctly identified IADSA as a controlled opposition group, while simultaneously exposing EAS as a corrupt lobbying firm representing many pharmaceutical interests in GERMANY while refusing to answer Law's questions as pertains to conflict of interest..."
Interstingly, the ONLY one prepared to respond to my encouragement to defend kava was my apparent partner in apparent crime, Ralph... really does make one wonder, doesn't it??????
Maybe you''ve been talking to a pharma controlled opposition-type imposter... you should get in touch with the real John Hammell to find out what's changed...
Regards
Ron
