I imagine that something that would have killed anyone else, but not like having his skin ripped off, happened to him, but he used his crazy allomantic feruchemy healing to get all better.  As the story of his recovery spread, the wounds he sustained became more extreme with each re-telling, and he never bothered to correct them.

Rashek certainly did get very badly wounded at least once and used his Feruchemical healing powered up with Allomancy to recover, but Brandon stated (I think in the old Q&A thread) that if he had actually been beheaded it would have killed him.  There is some truth to the tales about him, but just how severe the wounds were has been exaggerated through countless retellings.

But still, the regeneration/immortality lerasium effect is one of the most probable theories.
Hmm...
Ruin + Preservation = God
These two complete each other, so I think that lerasium and atium complete each other like this too. I guess that someone burning both atium and lerasium would be invincible.
That's why this theory fits. Atium for perfect offence, lerasium for perfect defence.

My second thought is - maybe if lerasium is burned with any other metal, it would enchant not only the Mistborn, but the metals themselfes? We didn't exactly see the effect of lerasium burned by a Mistborn, but maybe that's the trick - to make metals that already are inside his stomach much longer, if not forever?

Ruin and preservation working together ala Sazed is what we'd probably see if any two Shards of Adonalsium worked together. :)

Any two that fit each other as perfectly as Ruin and Preservation do.

Which of course leads to the speculation that they might come in pairs.  Hmm... what would we get if we mixed Preservation with, say, Endowment?

That would be odd. it seems then that the people of Endowment would be all about giving what they had to others to help better their lives (like the people of Hallandren give to the Court of Gods), but the people of Preservation would end up just keeping what they had.

I think that's a matter of wait and see! :)

I just thought about something...
We know that for every normal metal there is one working alloy.
We know that both Larasium and Atium can be alloyed with all of the basic metals.

But could there be an alloy of Larasium and Atium?
Laratium maybe?

You're not the first to wonder that, it's one of the questions we've been wanting to have Brandon answer, but I do like the name.  I say we should call it Laratium from now on!

I think a Lerasium/Atium alloy should be called Sazedium.

logic:
Preservation was bound to Leras and the metal is Lerasium.
Ruin was bound to Ati and the metal is Atium.
Both are now bound to Sazed and the metal is Sazedium.

I think this reasoning is wrong.
Sazed is not a power himself - he is the consiousness that hold those two (separated) powers together. Atium is still atium, larasium is still larasium, for the powers aren't connected - they are just controlled by one entity.

But I like how "sazedium" sounds.

Lerasium is derived from the name Leras, the cognitive force (?) behind the Shard of Preservation.
Atium is derived from the name Ati, the cognitive force behind the Shard of Ruin.

Sazedium would be derived from the name Sazed, the cognitive force behind the Shards of Ruin and Preservation

I thought this too, but Sazedium doesn't really roll off the tongue to me.

But you're missing one thing - we are talking about an alloy here.
The larasium-atium alloy wouldn't come from Sazed, but from humans, smelting these two metals into an alloy. Now if Sazed would ever want to put both Shards into a new metal, it wouldn't be the same substance as the larasium-atium alloy we're talking about.
As I see it...
Sazedium - metal created by both Shards together.
Larasium - alloy created by melting each Shard's metals together.
Would it be the same? Well, THAT's the real discussion topic.

As I thought about it, I have a theory...
Burned Sazedium/Laratium will make you into an Feruchemist.
Why? Because it would take the power of Larasium and add an equal dose of Ruin to it. Instead of giving the power of Preservation, it would now grand the power of balance.
