The FDA makes many rules. THey made a rule that states "Only medicine can treat a disease" Have you noticed that now everything is a disease. It use to be called indigestion, now it is acid reflux disease. I won't go on but there is an amazing list of these things. Why? because it give an unfair advantage to their frends, the companies that make medicines, by not allowing non medical treatments a legal opportunity to treat people.

Very little.  The basic rule of the law of agency is that the principal is liable for the acts of the agent done within the context of the agency, generally speaking.

All medications are chemicals. Many of them have more side effects than they have actions on the medical conditions they were prescribed to alleviate. Because of litigation, no drug manufacturer deliberately produces a dangerous medication. It simply happens because the FDA cannot test long enough.

You have to file if you are using a "new" ingredient.\n1. I don't know the details but you can contact Division of Dietary Supplement Programs secretary (Ms. Lisa Barr-Thompkins 301-436-2334) and she can forward your call to someone who can.\n2. If you are using an ingredient that appears in existing supplements then no, otherwise it depends on the new ingredient.\n3. Yes, supplement are different from drugs \n4. see 1 about\n \nfrom the source below: \n\nWhen must a manufacturer or distributor notify FDA about a dietary supplement it intends to market in the U.S.?\n\nThe Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) requires that a manufacturer or distributor notify FDA if it intends to market a dietary supplement in the U.S. that contains a "new dietary ingredient." The manufacturer (and distributor) must demonstrate to FDA why the ingredient is reasonably expected to be safe for use in a dietary supplement, unless it has been recognized as a food substance and is present in the food supply. \n\nThere is no authoritative list of dietary ingredients that were marketed before October 15, 1994. Therefore, manufacturers and distributors are responsible for determining if a dietary ingredient is "new", and if it is not, for documenting that the dietary supplements its sells, containing the dietary ingredient, were marketed before October 15, 1994.

Department of Health and Human Services\nFood and Drug Administration\n5600 Fishers Lane (HFI-40)\nRockville, MD 20857\nJune 1998\n(FDA) 98-1247 1\nLosing Weight Safely\n\nThe Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, is part of the United States Government. FDA requires most food labels to list the amount of important nutrients the food gives you. Use food labels to choose healthy foods for losing weight.\nIf You're Overweight, Slim Down for Better Health\n\nOverweight people have an increased risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and other illnesses. Losing weight reduces the risk. This brochure tells you how to lose weight safely.\nAsk Your Doctor About Sensible Goals\n\nYour doctor or other health worker can help you set sensible goals based on a proper weight for your height, build and age.\n\nMen and very active women may need up to 2,500 calories daily. Other women and inactive men need only about 2,000 calories daily. A safe plan is to eat 300 to 500 fewer calories a day to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.\nExercise 30 Minutes\n\nDo at least 30 minutes of exercise, like brisk walking, most days of the week.\n\nThe idea is to use up more calories than you eat. You need to use up the day's calories and some of the calories stored in your body fat.\nEat Less Fat and Sugar\n\nThis will help you cut calories. Fried foods and fatty desserts can quickly use up a day's calories. And these foods may not provide the other nutrients you need.\nTips for Cutting Calories and Fat\n\n    * Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, and grain products like bread and rice.\n    * Eat only small, single servings of foods high in fat or calories.\n    * Eat less sugar and fewer sweets.\n    * Drink less alcohol or no alcohol.\n    * Choose foods whose labels say low, light or reduced to describe calories or fat.\n    * Choose 1 percent or skim milk products and reduced fat cheeses.\n    * Replace ice cream with fat-free frozen yogurt.\n    * Replace sour cream with fat-free or low-fat plain yogurt.\n    * Make sure fish, poultry and meat are lean. Trim skin and fat.\n    * Broil, roast or steam foods.\n\nEat a Favorite Rich Food, Sometimes\n\nThat may keep you from craving it. But eat only a small amount.\n\nMake sure your other foods that day are low in fat and calories.\nEat a Wide Variety Of Foods\n\nVariety in the diet helps you get all the vitamins and other nutrients you need.\nWatch Out for Promises of Quick And Easy Weight Loss\n\nFad diets aren't good because they often call for too much or too little of one type of food. As a result, you may not get important nutrients you need daily.\n\nRemember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't true.\nWhat About Diet Pills?\n\nDiet pills you buy without a prescription won't make a big difference in how much you lose each week or how long you keep the weight off. If you do use them, read the label carefully. Because of possible side effects, like high blood pressure, never take more than the listed dose.\n\nAlso, be careful about taking cough or cold medicines with diet pills you buy without a prescription. These medicines may contain the same drug used in diet pills, or a similar drug with the same effects. If you take both products together, you may get too much of the same type drug. This can hurt you.\n\nBefore taking a cough or cold medicine while using diet pills, ask your pharmacist if it's OK.\n\nPrescription diet pills may help some people. If you use them, follow the doctor's directions carefully.\nBefore Signing Up For a Weight Loss Program, Ask Questions\n\nDoes the Company:\n\n    * Explain possible health risks from weight loss?\n    * Explain all costs?\n    * Include weight control over a long time?\n    * Have proof of success, not just praise by other people?\n    * Give a clear, truthful statement of how you're going to lose weight, including how much and how fast?\n    * Teach how to eat healthfully and exercise more?\n\nDo you have

Scientists do. They may work for a pharmaceutical company, government or on their own. They test it on lab animals until they can prove that they have enough justification to start testing on humans. Then they have to get it approved for testing by the FDA.

Regulatory agencies would include the FDA and the state Dept of Public Health. They usually do not get down to the detail of an improperly collected (urine?) sample for drug testing, unless it shows a pattern and affects results for a number of people.
