Romansh: Practically every night I go to bed and on a good night (a healthy one at least) my consciousness is pretty much oblivious, my unconscious might churn in the background and awake me if there is the unexpected. So why would a few minutes of an NDE be somehow relevant?-Sometimes not just a few minutes as you will see if you will do some research.->
> Romansh: Do you have any accounts of actual ADEs that I could read. If a brain cannot be resuscitated then clearly we are playing on a clinician's definition of death.- During resuscitation there are varying periods of heart stoppage and loss of brain function. When resuscitated, about 20% of patients will have an experience to relate. As a cardiologist I've heard several. In my experience and many others, if contact is made with a person, they are always dead! van Lommel (below, agrees in Carter's book, pg. 266)- There is a vast literature, but good books for guidance exist: Chapter 7 in mine covers eleven cases carefully verified for observed events occurring while unconscious. Chris Carter's Science and the Afterlife Experience
>, 2012, in the view of psychic experiences. Sam Parnia, M.D., a resuscitation specialist's book: Erasing Death, 2013, clearly describes his research into what happens and tries to verify what has been described in other reports. Pim van Lommel, M.D., cardiologist, Consciousness Beyond Life, 2011 with his famous study in Lancet medical journal, and his subsequent studies. And finally Eben Alexander, M.D. an academic neurosurgeon's Proof of Heaven,2012, describing his experience for one week with a severe brain infection and no brain function demonstrated.-If you will email me your address, I will send a copy of my book and Carter's ( for some reason I have two copies). I describe van Lommel's lancet article and Alexander's NDE in mine.
