Why would a person need to "prove" that they are unfit to be polygraphed?  Just say "No" to being tested.

If a person is unable to say "no" due to a legal situation; then it is not going to matter, they will have to take the polygraph anyway.

I'm not sure in what way I responded glibly.  I have spent much time thinking in-depth about polygraph related issues and I'm certainly not being deceitful with my reply.  I apologize if I seemed insincere, but your original post suggests that you are trying to "get out" of taking a polygraph and my gut reaction is, it’s not going to happen.

Many on this site, however, would be more than happy to support you with information to combat the use of the polygraph.  Perhaps if you answered my question and/or provided some background information such as, the purpose for the polygraph and circumstances that surround it, others would have a better idea of how to help you.

I am sorry - I apologize to Underlyingtruth.

Like so many others on these boards I am frustrated by difficulty of clearing my name.

Without revealing too much - I will say that I have been falsely accused of deception. Because I am in a protected class the ADA law gives me some recourse which I have been legally following. I am not rich and I am not seeking to make any money out of this action. I am  only trying to make the current system a little bit more equitable. 

I have tried many times during this process to get help from friends, family, Congress, and people involved with this board. I have been ignored with the exception of one Senator who did write a letter requesting information on my behalf.

I am not an attorney or a psychiatrist but the other side has made a number of mistakes and I believe there is now enough research to refute summary judgement, which is very important to me at this stage of the legal proceedings. 

My problem is that I can't find anyone qualified as an expert who is willing to take a few hours, sit down with the research I have already gathered and attest an opinion. The opinion can cite the research so there is little professional risk to the individual.

It only takes someone who believes that what is going on now is wrong and is willing to spend a couple of hours to help make it right. 

Such an individual must exist, but I don't seem to be able to find him or her.

Thanks for listening

I forot to answer your original question. It doesn't take a brain doctor to attest to the damage that booze and drugs do to the brain. Any MD and most lay people knows. Not only to the brain but to many other parts of the body. Go to the yellow pages and pick out one. All prosecutors, judges and defending lawyers should know this. They shouldn't have to consult a doctor. The burden of proof should be on them if they are saying the brain isn't affected.

Sounds like a worthwhile pursuit to me!   
Something like this has the potential to positively affect others in your same situation.
I wish you the best of luck.
