(31,947 posts)the fact that a dead person does not have any circulation so therefore you cant start them on any drug because drugs dont mean anything at all when they are simply injected or shoved into the orifice of some decaying mass of organic material, aka, a dead body.

(31,947 posts)The program has had very little uptake, and hasnt helped many people at all - although we can be fairly certain its harmed quite a few.
muriel_volestrangler
(106,533 posts)and his claim that "we have saved thousands of lives" is unverifiable, and almost certainly bullshit.
A transcript here, if people don't want to listen to the usual word salad. Search for "last rites":

(15,571 posts)Dead means not revivable. Not a "body stopped working" situation or able to be brought back to at least a basic functionality through some sort of medical stimulation (like an epi-pen or CPR), supplemental function (like a life support machine) or removal of whatever was hindering a basic required function (like a heimlich maneuver).
Dead is when cell structures in organs start to decay. Blood is no longer able to circulate. Brain has been too long without oxygen.
That's what Dead is.

(26,397 posts)People can be revived via CPR or a defibrillator when their heart or breathing stops. They are clinucally,"dead," but if treatment is started soon enough, they will live.
But a drug reviving a dead person? No. He was trying to sound like he knew about a.miracle drug, but did not comprehend what he was trying to show off about. An unconscious person with such weak, declining vital signs that they were near death might improve enough to recover, but not a dead person.
As for the Last Rites claim, I am not Catholic, but I think that a priest is called while a person is dying and he will administer the sacrament even to an unconscious, dying person. So the presence of a priest does not not mean the person is dead.
He takes a germ of truth and fabricates a story around it. Reality is not his forte.

(19,265 posts)Lazarus of Bethany is a prominent New Testament figure, known as a close friend of Jesus whom Jesus raised from the dead four days after his burial, a miracle symbolizing power over death. He is often referred to as "the Four-Days Dead" and is venerated in Christian tradition, with accounts describing him later becoming a bishop

(3,507 posts)And so maybe he's referring to the Iran peace proposal that's "on life support" (per Dr. Trump), and has just now responded to a dose of kratom. (I don't even know what sort of emoji would go here....)

Fortunately for Nathan, he found his way to the addiction care program at Packard Health run by Eliza Hutchinson, M.D., a University of Michigan family medicine physician with special training in addiction medicine.
Hutchinson prescribed Nathan the same FDA-approved medication that she prescribes to people who have been diagnosed with addiction to heroin, fentanyl, oxycontin and other opioids.

Dr. Christopher McCurdy, a professor of medicinal chemistry at the University of Florida College of Pharmacy, has compared the marketing of concentrated 7-OH products to the early promotion of OxyContin in the 1990s. His laboratory research on rodents has demonstrated that 7-OH is as highly addictive as prescription opioids, and that its respiratory depressive effects and abuse potential can be reversed with naloxone (Narcan) a hallmark characteristic of opioid agonism.
