Tryptamines DMT released upon death?

[Xorkoth]

Nice bump. Just to state this for the record because this is SUCH a widespread idea paraded around as fact... it was proposed as a THEORY in Strassman's writing. He states clearly along with it that he has no evidence to back it up. No evidence has ever been found that it's true. DMT is definitely produced in minute amounts and can be found in human spinal fluid sometimes... but that in no way proves that there is a massive flood of it when you die. To me, people who have died and come back describe experiences that do not resemble my DMT experiences anyway.
