I'm pretty sure the Russian video is an elaborate fake.

There is a trending Japanese dish that does the same thing with an octopus/squid. The chemistry is a little hard to explain, but basically the salt causes nerve cells in the muscles to fire, eliciting a motion response by the muscles.

Not much of a revival, but it's an excellent way to demonstrate how nerves function on a chemical basis.

SO I used to freeze everything I could catch in the freezer...and my mom thought I had some problems..... MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

So I could warm them back up after a few weeks, but they never came "back to consciousness" so to speak. Many critters did come back to life however. Completely unable to be what they had been before, possibly from cellular wall damage. Many moved in uncontrolled fashion. I also tried infusing them with multitudes of concoctions, they never could revive from that it seems, but it was all guesswork. The best way to get them to revive with the best functioning was very odd.

I would wrap them in layers of wet toilet paper / paper towels. Very thick layers. Let that sit outside to warm up for a while. It has to be completely dry yet hard. Then freeze that as slowly as possible. It was like a paper mummy wrap, but helped to slow the rate of cooling. Once they hit freezing I didn't go a whole lot lower. I would leave them for days, weeks and even a month a few times.

They would be frozen quite stiff and brittle when I took them out. I used a low focus lens to gradually warm them up. Eventually they would without shock or any other means start moving around again on their own. However the normal functioning would usually degrade rapidly into more and more erratic motions. The ones that would usually live the longest had taken a # right after I warmed them back up. If they poo'd the towels it didnt usually come back at all.

Critters I froze.

Crickets
Caterpillar
Grass hoppers
beetles of all sizes and shape > stag beetles had very high success rates
frogs
worms
mice
and a small garden snake once.

Maybe some other things...

The look on my mom's face was PRICELESS! Well worth the huge trouble I would get into.

You froze mice and snakes?

That's truly abominable and an act of animal cruelty.

If that was sarcastic reply on behalf of my response Pie ? I'm sure you realize the difference between the vid and what you're refering to. Don'y be coy.

He was replying to someone else, who froze animals and bugs and attempted to reanimate them, using multiple methods to determine what was the best one. And I agree, cruel to freeze animals, kind of disgusting.

Not at all, I didn't even read your reply when I posted that.

Sorry for the confusion.
