(April 11, 2011 at 4:43 pm)Skipper Wrote: When the brain shuts down it releases large amounts of Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) a powerful hallucinogenic which is the best explanation I've heard for what people later describe as out of body or near death experiences.

Well, the idea with a seeing and a hearing after NDE (not before, or during that time) is that the brain cannot function, which means that it cannot not even give birth to hallucinations (because it does not function). Ordinary NDE would be explained by a hallucination just before the brains shuts down. Also, this cannot explain a blind from birth getting to know how the objects in the room look like. But, for some reason, NDEs cannot be a trustworthy evidence.
