There are 15 INDs filed with the FDA for
1) improving sleep patterns and maintaining daytime alertness in narcolepsy,
2) reducing schizophrenic symptoms,
3) stabilizing Parkinson's disease,
4) reducing nocturnal myoclonus (painful leg cramps at night),
5) improving memory problems,
6) stimulating natural growth hormone release,
7) decreasing pain and improving sleep in fibromyalgia,
8) relieving symptoms in Huntington's chorea,
9) regulating muscle tone in dystonia musculorum deformans,
10) controlling tardive dyskinesia symptoms,
11) decreasing drug withdrawal symptoms (alcohol and opiates),
12) decreasing hyperactivity and learning disabilities in children,
13) inducing sedation and tranquilization,
14) relieving anxiety, and
15) lowering cholesterol.

GHB has been recommended as the anti-anxiety agent of choice for potentially suicidal patients.

The incredible dichotomy between GHB as a safe miracle nutrient (with extensive applications to a host of human maladies) and GHB as a lethal designer drug (used for date rape and other nefarious purposes) can hardly be more striking. This can hardly be an accident. It must be by design. But who's design?
