The Man Who Froze To Death and Came Back To Life 

There's a bit of confusion around the temperatures we used at 3:13 - 4:14 these are all INTERNAL BODY temperatures (not external or outdoor temperatures) Hope that clears things up a little :)

The weird part about this is that if they ever find a way to bring these people back, they will have no experience of the time spent in those chambers and will literally feel as if they went to sleep in one and then instantly woke up in the future. Crazy stuff

My grandmother died after she gave birth to my uncle in the 50s. They had her covered in a blanket and told my grandfather that she passed but the baby survived. Someone noticed the blanket on her twitched. They covered her in hot pads, and brought her back to life. She had scars on her shins from the heating pads, and had some rare disease caused by the birth/death. She lived into her mid 80s. Sometimes even doctors get it wrong. Thankfully they do more tests before declaring you dead now.

I dated a paramedic for a while and one of their favorite things to say was “they’re not dead til they’re warm and dead”. 😂 Gave me special appreciation for the cooling blankets when I watched Flatliners recently 😆

Yeah I fell 70 feet off a cliff and landed in six inches of freezing water. When a helicopter came a few hours later to pick me up, I was hypothermic, but my brain had no swelling. Recovery still sucked, though. I was in a coma for three months and it took me two years to learn to walk again. #blessed

Can you guys remember a few years back when they were just starting to show themselves on camera and were so reserved and then later came out and it was a drama for some people? Awesome to see them now seeming so comfortable and fabulous.

In EMS we were taught that someone isn't dead until they are warm and dead for this reason

O M G… I never thought there would be a connection between me loving winter and being absolutely atrocious at sprinting 😅

YOURE TELLING ME JACK COULDA BEEN SAVED AFTER ALL?! Someone send this to rose rn

Remember folks "You ain't dead until you're warm and dead!"

This is a hard nope from me, as a Canadian myself. I don’t mess around with the cold. It gets super bad here sometimes. Lmao

“Nobody is death until warm and dead” Grey’s Anatomy taught me that! 😂

Imagine how happy the Dad was when he no doubt thought his son was Dead, but miraculously was able to be brought bsck to Life. I look forward to seeing my Mum again.

It is really nice to see a new AsapSCIENCE video, after two months.

The genetic polymorphism answers something I've wondered for years! This random guy at my gym would always be wearing shorts no matter the weather, and one time during winter I asked him how he could handle the cold. He told me he decided one day to just, not be cold anymore.

“Ok everybody, CHILL.”

How I'm supposed to understand cold science with this hot scientist 🙈

Futurama was really ahead of it's time

"cells become lethargic" I must be frozen, so frozen I can't even feel it, as I'm lethargic as a whole

I DEFINITELY skipped that mutation, I look at a picture of snow and I am cold😆

I still don't know if cold therapy is a scam or not, but now I know we can revive people from cold death.

If you have ever been to an emergency room in the US, you may wonder whether emergency personnel and providers would bother spending that much time and effort reviving you, even if the technology were available to them.

Why does it feel like science is just looping back and proving the things we instinctively understood as basic tens of thousands of years ago, but now presenting it like a revolutionary discovery 🤔

It’s awesome to see a video about the cold after hearing Greg talk about his cold swims on their podcast! Also, the lighting and colours in this video were so satisfying. You both look gorge

I did try showering in the coldest water that my shower can offer, and let's just say it's barely tolerable, i hope that cryo therapy is a bit more tolerable because cold exposure through water is the worst.

You guys are great, thank you so much for the info :)

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful content…for putting it out there with the passion that many of us need and strive for. I'm starting to listen to you almost every morning. Your voice and words feels real and genuine. I am grateful to have your channel as a source for having a better relationship with myself and the world around me. ❤️❤️

I worked for a heart defibrillator company for a while, and they had another product line where they were making the equipment for doctors to put a person into induced hypothermia and then bring them back out. This was part of their research into cardiac arrest, that basically when a patient was being resuscitated, the temporary loss of oxygen wasn't really what was damaging them, but the sudden reintroduction of oxygen did. So if you could cool them down, then resuscitate them and then warm them back up, they had much better outcomes. Edit: Technically resuscitation from cardio fibrillation (mostly dead), since cardiac arrest is completely dead, as described in the Princess Bride.

Honestly the best Columbia ad of all time 😂

Wow that is a lot of research papers referenced! Yall really put in serious work! Thank you!

Another indisputable proof that feeling cold or freezing to deaths better than feeling hot or dying from overheat 😂. Edit: Forgott about frostbite, so it’s not much better but still better in my opinion 😬.

I think all the temperatures are off in this video. The temperatures you give are very warm. In Celsius, 0 degrees is freezing, and in Fahrenheit, 32 degrees is freezing. 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) is a summer day in Texas.

I appreciate this channel so so much!! I love that I can trust a Chennai that observe and communicate the current literature on fun and common issues! We need more of this!

I love the cold but cold water gives me severe anxiety attacks. I was told to try cold water on the back of neck to help with anxiety and my heart rate was 189 from it. It’s weird. I love cold air though. I hate heat because warmer and heat makes me itchy

I'm curious about the cold gene thing. Anedocte: i ALWAYS am the first person to feel an extreme cold when swimming (body feels like frozing, lips getting blue, uncontrolable body shaking) and usually starts around 15 minutes of swimming. But also I am an "excellent sprinter" and at middle school I *always* won the kids "let's bet who gets to _some place_ first?"

Everyday, we get closer to Futurama

I can’t remember if you guys have done a video on fasting (for instance 3 day water fasting) but if you haven’t it would be awesome if you did!

If I had a nickel for every time “not dead until warm and dead” was said on Grey’s Anatomy…I would legitimately probably have a few dollars.

As a Canadian born boi ive done some crazy things in the cold. Dont even know how ive made it this far in life when i think about it.

I’m a pretty decent sprinter but also feel super good in winter and cold temperatures. On top of this my body seems to always be producing heat whether the weather is hot or cold my hands always seem to be warm to other people

So am I to believe that the cold therapy can make them "men" again after near freezing ??? Miracles never cease.

3:13 Uhmmm, i'm pretty sure, that i'd be dying from the HEAT if i'd be +35 degrees celsius, not from the cold lol

Kinda like extending the life o'a fish chilling 🥶

Just watching makes me shiver thanks for goosebumps!

@3:17 it's supposed to be -35°C instead of 35°C

Makes me think if the delusional tendency of people undressing themselves when about to die of hypothermia is a natural reflect of the body trying to insta freeze itself to avoid tissue damage

To cheat death is a power only one has achieved....

I think I might have that gene to handle cold better. I can handle 28° F (-2° C) for a few hours before it starts to affect me. The only reason I can’t handle cold water is past trauma. I also can’t run or sprint well at all. Is there way to test for that gene?

Anecdotally, I probably have that mutation. I handle cold water pretty well but I've always been a terrible runner. I've taken a DNA test that said I didn't have a gene that makes people better sprinters, but this might be a different gene than the cold specific one.

We also use "freezing" on the ICU in something called TTM; targeted temperature management. We keep people's core body temperature at 33(-36) degrees Celsius to lower metabolism and prevent reactive oxygen species, so that cells can restore and brain capacity is preserved.

This makes me happy because being cold is the only time I'm happy. I'm a grouchy curmudgeon when it's over 70 degrees and I'm a lifelong Texan. Needless to say, I mostly hate life except for 2 weeks a year. Cold is healthier.

So, fiction like freezing to wait for healing techniques in the future, or cryosleep like in Halo used in long distance travel, might one day be real and practical.

How killing and resuscitation of an animal is ethical but cloning human is not?

I always click on these when I’m uninspired on YT but every time I am fascinated. You lads earned a follow

Temperatures at 3:30 seem a little suspicious… isn’t 35 C and 32 C pretty hot? Maybe you mean F

So much for the winter saying “wear a hat before you catch cold“

Nice video about this scientific research, Topic...!!! 👌👍👏

Please do a video on hot baths! Is Onsen really good for you?

Cold showers have made me feel better in many ways, I don’t even take hot or even warm showers anymore. East coast of Canada in mid October, shower is plenty cold, can’t even imagine January. I know there isn’t much science, I wish there was, because I’m always looking for solid evidence. This is one of those things I’m going by feel. I do feel better and definitely stronger mentality and physically from this endeavour.

Love love love the gold dots in those jackets! What a great idea.

God I would hate that. I'd rather overheat than freeze any day.

During winter, I put on a jacket in the 20° - 30° F range, and warmer clothes below 20° F

Nobody is dead until warm and dead is quite the paper title

I hate ads, buts I didn’t mind that one. Good job

0:00: 🥶 Freezing to death and being successfully thawed out has become increasingly common with modern science, leading to a new field of cutting-edge medicine. 2:54: ⛄ Freezing to death can cause severe cellular damage and even death, but cold therapy can trigger genes and hormones that may extend life. 6:56: ⛄ Hypothermia can sometimes protect the body from lethal damage and allow for successful resuscitation. 8:41: ❄ Scientists are exploring the use of cold temperatures to revive the body and improve muscle response in extreme situations. Recap by Tammy AI

Thx 4 explaining this. Eureka!

the most hilarious thing in this video is the animal testing lol, i applaud the courageous renegade scientists who flout ethics and make the critical leaps to human applications where it can actually be useful. I know we're a sadistic species and all but we could do a better job hiding it.

Just was learning the song of periodic table, almost halfway 😄

tbh when I saw the title I thought you meant cold hands and stethoscopes 😂

Love this Columbia video. But not sure what to think about the Freezing to Death advertisement…

I adore these Men!! Absolutely Adore them! ❤

A Wim Hof reference let's go

Does this mean hypothetically people who are frozen are on Mount Everest could be brought back to life ?

Thanks!

Temperatures of JUST 68° are enough to activate my arthritis pain (which is EXCRUCIATING) so I have no choice but to pass.

You've mistaken the temperatures called out in the video. 30 degrees celsius are a very hot day in Florida... Very, very hot

This video is changing its title and thumbnail more often than I do my underwear

nice videos bro

Omniheat jackets from Columbia are great! I live in the snowy Midwest, and have raynaud's syndrome and it keeps me toasty.

When I end up homeless I chose winter over heat. Heat vomit didnt seem the most fun. Legal Drug omnibus Interesting though, I know cold can help stop deterioration of cells compared to warm water. But, warm water might be the best for teeth compared to cold water.

They need to research this more.

Can you please do a video about if Chiropractors are a scam or not? I have heard different things!

... and here I like to sleep beside an open window, when it's -10C (and I wear just boxers, have a top sheet over me, with no comforter. I also often have a fan blowing on me, at the same time.)

“Ok I look like a pop star 😅😅😅”

Wow amazing

We also heavily rely on hypothermia in cardiac surgery.

I saw Gregory at Scollard Street, some days before. He was busy on a call so I couldn't talk to him.

This explains why i can barely run without hurting my legs

too much of an ad

On 3:28 it says “At 32 celsius, or 90 Fahrenheit, your lips will turn blue.” Isn’t that like hot?

Great video

I love swimming in alpine lakes, and I handle the cold pretty well. But I suck at sprinting 😂

Mr. Freeze would be proud.

The thing is I’m bad at sprinting and cold isn’t really a problem for me

I am NOT one of those 1.5 billion people. That's why I live in Texas and love it.

Thanks for the incessant Columbia ads

I have to admit, this is a cool video.

Waiting for a news article about them reviving one of the victims of Mt Everest from 50+ years ago

rlly funny you say when your body gets to 35º you freeze since my USUAL body temperature is around 35.5º, maybe 36º lol

My dumbass forgot to read the "back to life" part of the title @-@
