Summary

If you're in need of hope, this is the show for you!

As a doctor who treated hundreds of patients with brain injuries, neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander strongly doubted the existence of an afterlife. However, after he contracted E. coli meningitis (which has a 1 in 10,000,000 annual occurence), he ended up in a coma for seven days and had a life changing experience. He came to the conclusion that the brain does not create consciousness and that consciousness survives bodily death.

He is the author of several books stemming from his own near-death experience, including the #1 New York Times Bestseller called, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife.

0:00.0	Welcome to Nobody Told Me. I'm Laura Owens. And I'm Jan Black. And we are extremely honored to welcome neurosurgeon Dr. Evan Alexander as our guest on this episode.
0:22.5	Dr. Alexander is the author of several books stemming from his own miraculous near-death experience,
0:28.5	including the number one New York Times bestseller, Proof of Heaven, a neurosurgeon's journey
0:34.1	into the afterlife. Dr. We thank you so very much for joining us. Well, it's a great
0:40.0	pleasure to be here, Laura and Jan. Thank you so much for having me on. You have said that in some
0:45.2	ways you experienced the perfect storm of near-death experiences. Tell us about that.
0:53.1	I think it's important to point out that certainly as a
0:56.4	neuroscientist and from a scientific perspective, my case brings a tremendous amount to the table.
1:03.5	And that really came to the fore, not only with my reviewing the medical records and putting
1:09.3	them out there in the book of, you know,
1:11.9	proof of heaven, but also a recent case report on my medical records that came out in the
1:18.4	Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases in September of 2018. And that was written by three
1:23.5	physicians who were astonished by my recovery, which really has no explanation in Western medicine,
1:30.3	and that's why they reviewed the medical records. In fact, when the peer reviewers of that
1:35.3	medical journal asked them, well, how do you explain this miraculous recovery? They basically said,
1:40.3	based on their own experience, that there were other cases of profound
1:44.4	inexplicable healing after a near-death experience where people had
1:49.6	tremendous physical healing from whatever ailed them and that's I think why
1:55.3	it is such a gift I mean there's so many other cases that have had near-death
2:00.6	experiences but without quite the same
2:03.7	documentation of all the damage to the brain and the impossibility that that brain could harbor any kind of dream or
2:11.5	hallucination or confabulation. And that really was the evidence they had in my case. And this is something I surmised early on.
