A Substack called "The Forgotten Side of Medicine" discusses GHB, a drug claimed to be a cure for insomnia that was made illegal. GHB was remarkably effective for various conditions and profoundly improved health, but the FDA, in collusion with the media, launched a takedown of it in the 1990s, similar to what happened with ivermectin. GHB put recipients into a deep sleep cycle, resulting in feeling refreshed and energized, and frequently allowed people to feel fully refreshed after just a few hours of sleep. It was unlikely to be addictive and dramatically increased growth hormone levels, resulting in increased strength, stamina, muscle mass, and function.
GHB produced remarkable results in treating addictions, counteracted Parkinson's disease, aided childbirth, and had aphrodisiac effects. The FDA banned GHB after a press release warning consumers to discontinue its use due to alleged illnesses. The FDA argued there was no evidence of valid use or safety, but refused to admit evidence arguing otherwise. The media then trumpeted that America was facing a wave of rapes from a silent, odorless, colorless drug, juxtaposing fears of Rufies onto GHB. Congress passed the Hillary J Farreus and Samantha Reed Date Rape Drug Prohibition Act, making GHB a schedule one drug, despite it being produced naturally in the body. The entire epidemic was made up, and GHB accounted for less than 0.1% of drugs mentioned in emergency department reports.
