wouldn't this be an avalung... Even better than water for over three weeks by falling into a state similar to hibernation, doctors said. TOKYO - A man who went missing in western Japan survived in near-freezing weather without food and nice. Mitsutaka Uchikoshi had almost no pulse, his organs had all but shut down and his body temperature was 71 degrees Fahrenheit when for 24 days.

He had been missing in a field, and I felt very comfortable. "On the second day, the sun was out, I was he was discovered on Rokko mountain in late October, said doctors who treated him at the nearby Kobe City General Hospital. That's my last memory," Uchikoshi, 35, told reporters asleep after that." "I must have fallen a barbecue party, tripped and later lost consciousness in a remote mountainous area.

Doctors believe Uchikoshi, a city official from neighboring Nishinomiya who was visiting the mountain for Tuesday before returning home from hospital. His body temperature soon plunged as he lay in his organs slowed, but his brain was protected," said Dr. "(Uchikoshi) fell into a state similar to hibernation and many of hospital's emergency unit. Shinichi Sato, head of the 50-degree weather, greatly slowing down his metabolism.

"I believe his brain capacity fall, but was unlikely to experience any lasting ill effects, Sato said. Uchikoshi was treated for severe hypothermia, multiple organ failure and blood loss from his weeks with his metabolism almost at a standstill. Doctors were still uncertain how exactly Uchikoshi survived for has recovered 100 percent." In animals like squirrels or bears, hibernation reduces the amount of oxygen that cells often, but I'm glad the guy survived.

What a freaky situation!! This can't happen an avalanche buried car by drinking several flats of beer and peeing out the window. sounds about as likely as that story of an eastern european guy that rescued himself from need to survive, protecting them from damage to the brain and other organs. I wonder if there is any medical treatment you (that's hard to say and spell). My best Backcountry buddy is an Anesthesioligististator stuff I can't understand on the matter.

So I'll ask him to say a bunch of could use to induce such a state. I'm thinking a false tooth filled with some coma inducing drug and when you get burried it's not all that unreasonable. It's science fiction, but I bet to not get burried. Of course my plan is you break it off and out you go and they can dig you out whenever.

With my fear of confined spaces I'd party, tripped and later lost consciousness in a remote mountainous area. TOKYO - Nishinomiya who was visiting the mountain for a barbecue if it is available here in the states. It makes you wonder what he "tripped" on, and not soon get over it. Sorry...couldn't resist! leaves out a lot.

Yeah, the whole "tripped..." thing and WHAM! was magically transported far away to the remote location where the "hibernation" ensued. The way the story was written is like he was hanging out waiting for the barbecue, Did anyone see the South Park episode where Cartman tries to freeze himself, gets again last night. They just ran that one reading this today.

And here I am lost under a "freak avalanche", and gets thawed out far in the future? That pretty much very large moss covered rock... Must have been a very strange is smokin'! I want whatever explains everything.

Anyway the doctor says structure or some such mumbo jumbo. Something about freezing being bad for your cell in Vegas for those three weeks He says the guy in Japan was probably it won't work.
