I~te GHB is one of the m~'~t beneficial substances ever disco -ed for human health and well-being. i.., wide range of beneficial ett`ects in~tudes its use in the treatment of insomnia; for the treatment of narcolepsy; the treatment of impotence; as an aid to body-building, and also for weight-loss; in hypnosis ~ psychotherapy; and also in the treatment of other drug addictions, and is itself totally non-addicting. It is also used successfully as an anesthetic in children's dentistry. 1t can also help to prevent divorce, due to alack-luster sex life, and also is an aid to birth-control because it can help to delay or prevent orgasm. It is also considered to be an anti-oxidant, and is rejuvenating, due to its ability to cause deep, REM sleep. I acknowledge the fact that GHB has a potential for abuse for "date-rape." However, any man who would use this substance for date-rape is like~Y' t0 obtain the substance whether it is legal or illegal. The fact of the matter is, that GHB is cheap and easy to make, and is also readily available all over the United States, as well as in most other countries around the world. There is, and will always be, a black market in illegal substances, and never in the history of the world has prohibition of any substance ever worked! The type of men who would use GHB for date-rape will always be able to obtain it, and making it illegal will only increase its curiosity and use. I suggest that there are very few men who would engage in this kind of immoral act, and i am here today to testify about the beneficial etI'ects of this remarkable substance. which I think you will see is one of the most beneficial substances ever discovered. I loathe to call it a'drug' because in modern-day America, the generic term 'drugs' has taken on such negative connotations although there are prescription, pharmaceutical drugs that are very beneficial, and in some cases life-saving. I'm surprised that the pharmaceutical drug industry hasn't become vocal in its opposition to the negative use of the word "dntgs." However, I agree with the slogan of one major US chemical company: "Better Living Through Chemistry." What is surprising is that some of the worst drugs are not only legal, but .are an intrinsic part of modern civilization: caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine. GHB, ou the other hand, has so many beteficial effects, with almost no harmful effects. Also GHB is used in the treatment of other drug addictions; However, if GHB is made illegal, its use will increase, and also it will he used improperly, and the situation will only get worse, not better. GHB occurs naturally in the human body, and was first discovered more than 30 years ago. Since then, there has been extensive medical research itrto its applications to human health and well-being. ~vou study the medical record rather than believe the hype & hysteria,,,.vou will see that it is a totally safe, benign non-toxic, cF thorougl~v benef cial substance. GHB has helped my wife c~ I enjoy a more loving relationship, better than ever in 17 years together, and has renewed c~ strengthened the bvnds of vur marriage ~ family, which includes 5 beautiful daughters. We're both in excellent physical cvnditivn, and GI1R seems beneficial to our physical-, mental- cXC emotional health. We're dangerous to nobody. Since discuvering this heahh product, my physical and emotivnal well- being has improved noticeably, and I'm in love with my wife more than ever. After many fiilfilling experiences with GHB, I feel happy and satisfied in a way I haven't telt for years, perhaps my whole life. Because of these experiences via GHB, and the strong satisfying effect it has on my relationship with my wife, I'm feeling more happy and satisfied than ever. I'm dangerous to no vne, and I'm happier, healthier, and more productive, thanks tv GHB. GHR is good for health (and there are many scientitic, medical reasons for this). I also believe that GIIB is good for fanuly values. because it strengthens the bonds of mamage, helps induce a good night's sleep, restores health, helps you overcome or quit other drug-addictions and bad habits, and is dangerous to nobvdy if used properly, and should be readily available fir anyone why wants it for better health &well-being. Again, it will always be available vn the black market, even if it is made illegal, and the people who would abuse it will be able to obtain it anyway, because it is cheap and easy to make, and will always be readily available. Supposedly, the anti-GHB hysteria is because a few men have used it as a date-rape drug, but let us be realistic and recognize that alcohol is used by millions as a date-rape drug. More deaths are caused by alcohol-related traffic tatalities is the i7S each year, than die from AIDS, and there have been no known cases of death caused by CiHB. if (iHB is banned, alcohol should also be banned, because alcohol is the prime date-rape drug, and ~/rohol 1~c m:!ch more dangeror!c than GHB. In the book Better Sex Thro~h Chemistry, published in 1994, the author (Dr. John Morgenthaler) reviews 30 years of medical research into the effects of GHB. GAB is t tel. ~ s e, and non-addicting, and with no hanQ_ over effect. In lab shidies, it was found that the LD-50 (lethal dose at which 50°'~ of the mice in the studies died) was equivalent to a person using apprvx 100 times the recommended dose and that the cause of death was from sodium poisoning, rather than tiom GHB itself GHB is totally safe, completely non-addicting, and is actually,good for your health. I have used GHB on numerous occassions during the last 9 months, and I have a few times experimented. taking relatively large amounts. You just cannot take too much of this substance. It's almost impossible to take too much. Altar awhile, you will just fall asleep (and get a deep, refreshing sleep). Or you will become thirsty and drink some water or juice, which will also bring you down from the effects. "I'he most GHB I ever used was 10 grams in a 24-hour period. although the lethal dose for a person my size is cunsidered to be about 200 grams in a single administration (although that amount, about ahalf-pound, seems impossible to ingest). GIIB also helps me to do my work, both physical work, and phone work, because it gives physical energy, while at the same time helps to overcome mental and emotional inhibitions, including the tendency to procrastinate. GHB is used in the treatment of insomnia, as a cure for impotence, and as a mild aphrodisiac. It helps to induce a deep sleep (a few hours after ingestion) that usually lasts for only an hour or so, during which time the body releases a substance called growth-hormone, which helps to heal the bodk. The release of growth hormone also helps convert fat to muscle, and GHB is also good for weight loss. GHB is also used as an anesthetic in children's dentistryv, and also use iri hhypnosis, and ~YChotherapy, as well as for people who suffer from narcoleosv (sleeping sickness). Previously, people with sleeping sickness were treated with stimulants to keep them awake, until one intelligent doctor realized that these people don't need stimulants. What they needed was a good night's sleep, and GHB is considered to be the perfect sleep-inducing substance, and is now used in the treatment of sleeping sickness. .der 30 kears' research, it is well-docum.~nted that GHB is totally safe and non-toxic. The amount must be carefiilly measured, because if you take too much, you may teel di~w or nauseated; or it can put you into a deep sleep for about one hour (which is how it is used as an anesthetic in children's dentistry). If you take too little, you won't feel anyrthing. So this substance, which is a nutrient and food supplement, should be available at health-food stores (which it was until 1990) or at phannaeies, with ~ro e labeliu .Otherwise, it will still be available on the black market, although in impure form, and this will result in worse problems. (continued, rivo more pages) One of the reasons for . scare about GHB is the claim thin it can put you into a coma, and it has been reported that reckless use of this substance at nightclubs, bars, and parties has caused some users to suddenly fall into a very deep sleep for about an hour. Such recklessness might cause the user to end up in a hospital emargeucy room, only to awakau after an hour, feeling completely refreshed, and wonder what the fuss is all about. Such reckless use of this substance is a result of it being banned from over-the- counter sales with proper labelling. if CiHB were made readily available, with proper labelling and education, there would be almost no hazards from its use. The banning of the substance has given rise to improper use, which then results in such problems as described. ff GHB is made illegal_ it will still be readily available on the black market. because it is cheap and easy to make. although Qrooer labelling.and education will be absent. I want to remind every one here that never in the history of mankind has prohibition of any substance ever worked. GHB is non-addicting. Thcrc is no craving for the substance, at any time, unlike other truly addictive drum. including caljeine, nicotine, and alcohol (three addictive, health-depletinP substances that are not only legal but are an intrinsic hart oj~nodern civilization). GHB, on the other hand, helps you to overcome bad habits. The morning after using GHB, I feel refreshed, energized, and ready to go. GHB does not cause a hangover, or seem to cause any wear on the body. It is completely non-addictive, and there is absolutely no craving to do it again. It is a remarkable health tonic, and one reason it helps overcome the other bad drug addictions is because it makes you feel so healthy. that you don't want the other bad substances. In fact, another use of GHB is in the treatment of alcoholism. I noticed that when I fund GHB. I last my interest. in using alcohol. marijuana, or coffee. As I said, my health has improved, my mind is clear, and after using GHB, I wake up feeling unusually refreshed, with unusual energy and vigor. Other friends suggest that the alcohol industry is behind the anti-GHB hysteria, because it is an inexpensive substitute for alcohol, which does nvt result in bad breath, hangover, or addiction. (continued to end on nest page) Some of the reasons why GHB helps give you more energy: 1) You will get a good night's sleep. GHB can be used as a sleeping tonic, if nothing else, and it is prescribed for insomnia. From personal experience, I know that GHB will help me sleep deeply, which is also another reason I feel healthier. 2) With GIII3, a man can retain his sexual fluid, so the loss of this substance is not depleted, which also gives a happy feeling to the soul or psyche, and the sexual act is enhanced, and changes from "having sex" to "making love." I Lind that GHB helps me to make love more tenderly, more sensitively. with deeper love c~ sincere loving communication. Also. because GHB can help delay or prevent orgasm, it can he used as an aid to birth control. Also for ~vomeu, it can delay or prevent orgasm, and thus similarly can be an aid to birth control, because female orgasm can cause ovulation. 3) The release of growth-hormone heals the body. 4) Alcohol (or any depressant) does not mix with GHB, so yuu don't drink alcohol ~ j You take it on an etnpry stomach (preferably at night), and if you go to bed on an empty stomach, you slee hn _etter, and also wake up with more energy. For all these many reasons, GHB is beneficial for physical health,. beneficial for mental health, and also beneficial for the spirit, and for emotional well-being, and without any harmful effects, if used carefully. The use of GHB should be supported with education & proper labeling, not by making it illegal If GHB is illegal, it will result in au unregulated, unlabeled black market in this substance, which is cheap and easy to make. It is available in most countries throughout the world without a prescription. There are many reasons why GHB is for your health, plus 30 years, research .proving it totally safe and non-toxic (if used carefully). It is inexpensive & non-addicting. It is an organic substance that occurs naturally in the human body. (More than 40-pages of important scientific information about GHB can be found in the book Better Sex'1'hrough Chemistry by Dr. John Morgenthaler). Please consider the evidence of 30 years of medical research, and realize that making this substance illegal will unl~increase its use, by making it a curios• ,and it will always be readily available to anyone who wants it, on the black market, because it is cheap and easy to make.
