Is There Life After Death? An Emminent International Cardiologist Believes He Can PROVE IT!
Click Press ^ | 2-20-06

A leading cardiologist — who has become convinced of the existence of life after death after hearing his patients’ experiences — is talking about his research and beliefs at a major conference in London in March.

Dr Pim van Lommel was so inspired by the stories related by his patients of their Near Death Experiences (NDEs) that he became the first medical practitioner to risk his reputation with a full, systematic trial into the phenomenon.

He interviewed 344 heart patients at his hospital in Arnhem, Netherlands who had all clinically died, some

"Instead, the brain may merely be a transmitter and receiver for information, a conclusion that was reached independently by computer scientist Simon Berkovich and brain researcher Herms Romijn. "

---yes. I certainly believe that. I think our brains are like antennae- tuned to your personal spiritual "frequency" if you will. Fascinating stuff.

Butr life after death? Who knows. When you "die" on the operating table, you're not actually dead- in that your cells haven't started to break down. Now Lazurus- from the Bible- HE was actually dead. 4 days in the desert. Wow, that was life after death. I bet he had some stories to tell.

Beat me to it. There is a difference between clinical death - where one of several life processes stops - and actual death, where decay and deterioration starts to happen.

If you can be started back up, you were not actually dead to begin with.

No complete documentation exists. But there are bits and pieces around!

"...the brain may merely be a transmitter and receiver for information..."

What physical interaction mediates this transmission and reception? Where's the evidence for such an interaction? Where are the specific transmission and reception sites in the brain? Why haven't brain anatomists seen such sites?

Sheesh...

Oh yea? Then how exactly do you explain this?

He's dead, but he just keeps coming back.

But if you are brain dead, then you are not supposed to be able to think. If you get new memories from that time, where did they come from?

If there was a way to prove there was life after death without accepting it by faith the credit card collection people would have discovered it by now.

If we don't have a good definition of when life begins, I doubt we have a good definition of when death begins.

Since next to nothing is known about the human body- it's as good a theory as any other. Doctors are glorified butchers when it comes to the brain. Sure- they can cut out a tumor, but big whoop. Recreate a brain in the lab. The fastest super computer is a toy compared to a single nerve cell.

There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophies.

We don't need a cardiologist to answer the difficult questions, we've got Derek Acorah every Friday night ...
