The Ancient Guardian

In my world there is an old human guarding something of great significance.

All chemical reactions in their body have been slowed down to a microscopic fraction of what is deemed usual*. Once the peace of the chamber is disturbed, this condition will be broken until the threat is dealt with.

Let us assume that the chamber provides all the protection and resources needed for the guardian to survive when 'awake'.

Will the guardian survive under these conditions?

*The effect would probably be a result of the speed of electrons being reduced.

Edit: As far as I'm aware cryostasis can lead to tissue damage and I am expecting that there may be certain side-effects that are not directly influenced by slowing down chemical reactions.

Should human bodies, as a hypothetical example, require radioactivity to function, the guardian would not survive since the life-preserving radioactive matter would decay.
