That's total B.S. I'm afraid. It'll take a little more stimulation than fresh blood and an electric shock to bring someone back from brain death.

Well There are people who have been resuscitated from brain-death. The main problem is the damage taht occurs while you are clinically dead and no oxygen is being fed to the brain. The method described in the article the brain is continually fed oxygen throughout the procedure so no damage occurs to the tissue. It is, however, dead in the sense of no electrical activity. This research has been pretty widely publicised and seems to come from a legitimate institution. http://www.safar.pitt.edu/

There is not a single person in the history of the human race who has survived brain death.

The International Network of Brain Death Researchers defines brain death as: "the irreversible loss of all functions of the brain", the key word being "irreversible." Nothing in your above mentioned website supports the fallicious idea that once all activity has irreversibly ceased in a human brain it can be brought back. Here is some other research, which actually pertains to the argument, that you might find interesting:
