As long as the brain is alive, it cannot be trusted. NDEs look similar because the drug the brain produces is the same.

Bolded mine.  What does that mean?

It's a near death experience; not "total death experience".

If the brain is alive, and it was proven that it produces drugs at the moment of death, or near death, and hence: the drugs produced indices hallucinations, then it cannot be trusted to tell what was real, and what was a production of the drugs.
