Proof of Heaven

Product Description
"Proof of Heaven" is an extraordinary story about a most extraordinary experience. Dr Eben Alexander is a neurosurgeon, so he knows how the brain works. He explains that most doctors dismiss NDEs (Near Death Experiences) as the final flickerings of a dying brain. Dr Eben Alexander himself contracted a most rare form of bacterial meningitis and his brain went into shut down. He was in a coma for seven days. His body worked, but his brain was dead.

After six days his condition was so critical that his family was told that there was a 97% mortality rate, and those few who survived would be in a persistent vegetative state for the rest of their lives. But he bounced back and eventually recovered. "Proof of Heaven" is remarkable and worth reading simply to go through the amazingly rare illness and miraculous recovery that he experienced.
