    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    You are reading what is called the "prayer." It is standard boilerplate in all of these cases. I'm sorry, but I must say you are opining about a process you do not understand. This case may well survive the FDA's initial motion to dismiss (the most likely first defensive move), but that by no...

    Coptic Christans have had harrowing trials and tribulations in Egypt for 19 centu Will this ever end? Whenever I think we've seen the worst, another example of man's inhumanity to man occurs.

    Why do people keep saying things like this about Chantix, a product which the FDA has determined to be both safe and effective for smoking cessation? Just yesterday I was reading about a study showing that Chantix does not cause thought of suicide or other adverse neuro-psychological effects...
