Thanks for the visit to my blog. Don't have Sugar's new blog off hand but I'm going to watch for her to comment and then click on it to find her. I know I wrote it somewhere but you should see all my little notes around here. Pitiful!
Good to point this out - how many tots and adults have been revived because a state of hypothermia slowed their heart rate and circ system, preserving the body till CPR can be done. Tricky tho, if left in that condition long enough. Good post, and I agree with your comment: Tryptophan in all breakfast cereals!
Way cool that doctors have found a way to use a condition that normally is thought of as dangerous and bad to actually slow damage and save lives!
Love ya, Nat!
