on the subject of drowning does anyone know anything
about the use of Hydergine* in drowning victims.
I have read that this drug by Sandoz is quite an
effective one for this purpose.  Apparently
it stops free radicals from running around in the brain
and causing havoc.  It does this because it is a very
effective antioxidant and thus prevents the formation
of free radicals in the blood stream.  Sounds interesting;
anyone know anything about this??
