Greetings-
Here are some basic descriptions of narcosynthesis as "truth serum"
and of the polygraph (lie detector) along with links to further
sources of information.
Dorlands' Illustrated Medical Dictionary describes truth serum as
"ultra-short-acting barbiturate (drug) to produce general anesthesia,
… and for narcoanalysis in psychiatric disorders." The proper name for
this drug is thiopental sodium; it is also called Sodium Pentothal, a
trademark of Abbott Laboratories - the drug's manufacturer. Sodium
Pentothal is a yellow crystal, which can be dissolved in water or
alcohol. It has alliaceous, garlic-like odor.
This drug received its nickname "truth serum" after its effects.
Patients become very communicative, sharing their thoughts without
hesitation. It is common misperception to assume that the truth serum
will make one tell the truth. The patient may lose the inhibition, but
will not lose self-control. Therefore, the patient will not tell the
truth if he/she chooses not to do so.
Excerpts from a discussion group on "truth serum"

Moral implications of narcosynthesis are discussed in this Papal

Polygraph (lie detector)
"A polygraph is an instrument that simultaneously records changes in
physiological processes such as heartbeat, blood pressure, and
respiration. The polygraph is used as a lie detector by police
departments, the FBI, the CIA, federal and state governments, and
numerous private agencies."

hello nellie,
wishes. Thanks for your speedy response , for the question ID no
110378. I am in the position to prove myself by saying truths to X who
is not having faith on me. But, my condition is if i am not able to
prove it,my existance in this world will be meaningless and need not
to be alive.it is the problem of
"To be or not to be". If i am not able to prove medically, my soul
will be loitering in the gates of heaven.I dont have any
matterialistic proof and witness to be accepted myself but waiting for
the medical analysis about human brain to prove me.
your answer about narcosynthesis says that one need not to say real if
he is self control but it will nullify the reluctance and shyness.
This method will not be given 100% assurance.
Your explanation about lie detecting machine is that it will identify
the statement believality based on the changes in the body
characteristics and mostly used by investigators. can i prove about me
by this method or any other method is available to solve my serious
problem. will that machine be available in hospital and to whom i have
to contact.
****** Sir, one humble request to you that u need not to try to save
my life by recommending method which is not 100 % assurance.
********** anticipating anxiously your earliest reply,
