Descriptions:

Are near-death experiences brought about by a deficiency of oxygen in the blood? This issue is the aim of the initial episode of our new series “Thanatology Up-to-Day”.

Werner Huemer talks to Swiss physician and death researcher Reto Eberhard Rast.

Contents:
00:00:36 The recurring explanation of near-death experiences due to the absence of oxygen in the brain
00:02:46 Is it conceivable that other substances have effects on the brain, such as medicine?
00:03:59 Why is this principle of “the deficiency of oxygen” nonetheless present?
00:06:00 Designs of explanations generally correlate with people’s entire world sights

  1. An anesthesiologist friend of mine said he believes NDEs are genuine because the themes and elements of a NDE are similar across cultures and time. He said it’s impossible that experiencers are hallucinating the same things.

  2. I would say it takes much more. Heart has to stop and no brain activity. NDE's are caused by death of the body or immediate death of the body. I don't think humanity will ever understand precisely 'When' that occurs or 'Why' it occurs at that moment. Their is nothing to say, the soul of an individual can leave the body just before physical death will occur to protect the body. i.e. Falling off a very high cliff, knowing certain death is about to occur and the soul leaves the body. The brain still has oxygen, but the soul departs. (Hypothesis)
    Very few Doctors, (if any) will refute, that when one has an Flat line EEG. Their is not enough synaptic transmission (brain activity) and oxygen to promote the kind of organized consciousness one has in an NDE. Just not possible. Their has to be intelligence/consciousness with the soul and it 'knows' when to leave. Just my thoughts.

  3. Good interview–thank you! We keep looking, but we may not find the answer. If it's physiological, an answer is more likely, but if it's spiritual probably not. Internally produced chemicals can result in hallucinations, but would those be so similar between people of different backgrounds and even different cultures? To me, that is the question.

  4. These discussions, to be rational, must begin with the NDE's which have elements of objective validation. Unless one wants to argue that every single one of these validations was spurious, all of these entirely physical explanations are moot. A person cannot see a tennis shoe on the outside ledge of a window in another part of a hospital, because of oxygen deprivation, drugs, or any other such physical cause. Neither can a congenitally blind person see–and have objective evidence of having seen–because of oxygen deprivation or drugs. It is the irrationality of people who will resort to such explanations, knowing full well that there are objective validations attached to a number of NDE accounts, which should be the focus of conversation.

  5. I was a heroin addict for 30 years. Opiates are not hallucinogenic. They do cause you to "daydream" and actually see future events though. They make you feel as though you are taking part in the daydream. But no hallucinations. I had a NDE on PCP though. I saw my body on the floor (i thought i was looking at the ceiling because i fell backwards but never felt myself hit the floor) then , all of the sudden i was in front of the sun (or what i thought was the sun) . It was a giant fractal , orange reddish in color. A woman came out of it and explained reality to me. Everything is made of radio waves , she said…vibrations , frequencies…nothing is real. It was a very strange but amazing experience , to say the least.

  6. I think Near Death Experiences should be divided in 2 categories:
    1. Anaesthesia/medications-induced NDEs. These are more likely to have happened in hospitals. In this category I would also add recreational drugs-induced NDEs which are the experiences occured to people who have taken LSD, mushrooms, Ayahuasca and so on.
    2. Spontaneous, meditation-induced, while-sleeping and generally non-drug/medication-induced NDEs. The experiences falling in this category may be the more interesting to analyse because they might be "purer".

  7. If it is a lack of oxygen. Why do people get told that they must go back when they have these NDE’s? Why do many people see loved ones that have already passed away? Why do they experience a timeline of their whole life?

    I can understand a brain in a chaotic state could result in crazy hallucinations that don’t make sense but these experiences are too profound and personal and vivid in details. Hallucinations do not make sense, neither do dreams.

    I can’t see how a dying brain can create an illusion shared by thousands upon thousands all over the world throughout hundreds of years, throughout many cultures, experiencing similar details.

    And then you have people that experience an NDE before an event happens, who’s brains haven’t been compromised by a lack of oxygen, some of these people haven’t even been harmed, but they experience a NDE either before a car crash or some terrible accident which is about to unfold, and they are told in their NDE that their choice on wether they stay in the light or go back can alter the outcome of an event which has yet to happen, and then there are people who experience NDE events after an event where they were unharmed. So it’s not just people that have died on an operating table who experience these events.

  8. The out- of -body thing fascinates me. NDE’ers who,while being operated on, or receiving cpr, etc., travel around and come back and can tell us where other people were, what other people were saying, what they were wearing, etc. ?
