Subject: MAO inhibition and DMT

I have heard rumors that dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is endogenous 
to the human brain.  If, through some process, monoamine oxidase 
(MAO) was inhibited during a "near death experience" could the 
DMT be enabled to have hallucinegenic/pschyotomimetic 
properties?  If so, it would scientifically explain reports of 
seeing bright lights and deceased loved ones from "near death 
experience" survivors.  I know that MAO inhibitors will enable 
DMT to be orally active, whereas straight DMT will not 
intoxicate the subject.
thanks,
Dave S.
