Discussion
Even more than I do already.
Now I know this is entertainment, but I cannot stand bulls
t, especially people who try to convince people to pay to believe their bullst.
Can anyone please pick this video apart, bit by bit? It would make me happy inside

For starters, at about 30 seconds they introduce the medical assistance. One guy has a white coat on, so I assume he is [giving the impression of being] a doctor. There is no way on this earth a real doctor would put his career on the line by condoning this, let alone assisting in it.
At 2 minutes 30 he talks about the heart beating due to electric impulses. True, but your mind cannot entirely control this. The heart has intrinsic mechanisms (the SA node and the AV node which regulate the rate) that can effectively take over when the brain stops. That's how a person who has had a gross brain injury in which he is classed "brain dead" will still have a beating heart, as long as that heart is supplied with oxygen.
Then he stops his heart. The monitor shows it slowing to zero with the resultant flatline. The only evidence of that is the ECG itself. Does the audience think that, because it's a piece of medical equipment it can't be tampered with ? There is no other explanation. Sure, a person can momentarily slow their heart rate. Most folk do it unintentionally, say like when bearing down to push out a large dump. This stimulates the vagus nerve. That's why som,e old folk collapse in the toilet, it causes a faint.
But the biggest con for me is the fact he feigned unconsciousness. His heart wasn't stopped for long enough to put the brain in a state of hypoxia. There was no change in the skin colour either. And if he had been unconscious, then how would he have any control over his body ?
Then when his heart "restarted", it went back to its resting rate of 60 bpm. Yeah right ! At the very least he would have had a raging tachycardia.
You don't have to be that clever to fool an American audience.....
