	Food and Drug Administration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The FDA is divided into five major Centers: the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) and the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM).
		FDA regulations are blamed for causing high drug prices, keeping life-saving drugs off the market, prohibiting access to emergency contraceptives, allowing unsafe drugs on the market because of pressure from pharmaceutical companies, and censoring health information about nutritional supplements and foods.
		The FDA went to court in 1956 to act against the interstate shipment of "orgone accumulators", an experimental device built by an aging Dr. Wilhelm Reich.

		We have obtained new FDA reports concerning 23 additional U.S. deaths since the beginning of this year from cardiac arrhythmias or sudden cardiac arrest/death associated with the use of the heartburn drug, Propulsid.
		Although there had been hundreds of thousands of patients using the drug before it was banned, similar to the number estimated to be using Propulsid, only three or four thousand used it under the provisions of the IND after it was removed from the market and that number dwindled to very few within several years.
		FDA officials have said that there are a similarly small number of patients who would qualify for Propulsid under the conditions of the new program.

	FDA named "Fraud and Drug Administration" by consumer health advocacy group
		The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, under sharp criticism for its drug safety behavior involving anti-inflammatory drugs, antidepressants, and the silencing of its own drug safety scientists, has been offered a new name today: the Fraud and Drug Administration.
		The contest was initiated by NewsTarget.com editor Mike Adams, a consumer advocate and outspoken critic of the FDA who has called for a criminal investigation of the FDA and Vioxx manufacturer Merck.
		In recent Senate hearings, medical scientist David Graham, who conducts drug safety research for the FDA, described the agency as "incapable of protecting America." He also stated his belief that Vioxx may be responsible for well over 100,000 heart attacks and strokes, not the 27,000 that has been widely reported.
