That's not really an affirmation of my beliefs; it's more a statement of physical reality... no?


Clinically, damage starts at ... 5-6 minutes deprivation IIRC. I have been in on revivals that were out longer than that for sure, and the brain certainly has been dying.

Hell to be precise once you start to loose blood or oxygen, you are dying. You may not DIE, but you certainly are headed that way..
