Dr. Eben Alexander, the neurosurgeon who awoke from a coma

Dr. Eben Alexander is a neurosurgeon, author, and public speaker who is known for his compelling story of near-death experience (NDE) and subsequent spiritual awakening. Born in December 1953, Dr. Alexander grew up in a family of physicians and was drawn to the field of medicine from a young age. He went on to study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he received his undergraduate degree, and later earned his medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine.

After completing his training, Dr. Alexander established a successful neurosurgical practice, where he became an expert in the field of spinal neurosurgery. He was highly regarded by his peers, patients, and the medical community, and he remained dedicated to his work for many years.

However, in 2008, everything changed for Dr. Alexander when he contracted meningitis, which led to a severe form of bacterial meningitis. Despite the best efforts of his medical team, Dr. Alexander fell into a coma, and his chances of survival were slim. For seven days, he remained in a deep coma, during which time he experienced a profound NDE.

Dr. Alexander's NDE was unlike any other NDE that had been documented before. During his experience, he encountered a world beyond the physical realm, where he encountered angels, loved ones who had passed away, and an infinitely loving presence that he referred to as "the Core." This experience fundamentally changed Dr. Alexander's outlook on life and spirituality, and he felt called to share his story with others.

In 2012, Dr. Alexander published his book, "Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife," which chronicled his NDE and the profound impact it had on his life. The book became an international bestseller and has been translated into over 30 languages. It has touched the lives of millions of people around the world, inspiring many to explore their own beliefs and spirituality.

Dr. Alexander continues to travel the world, speaking at conferences and events, and sharing his story with audiences everywhere. He has become a prominent voice in the world of spirituality and NDEs, and he continues to promote the message of hope, love, and the infinite power of the human spiritDr. Eben Alexander is a remarkable individual whose journey from a highly successful neurosurgeon to a world-renowned spiritual teacher is truly inspiring. Through his book and speaking engagements, he has touched the lives of millions of people around the world and continues to be a powerful voice for hope, love, and spiritual growth.

Use of the Term "Vegetative State" is Dehumanization in Its Most Literal Form

By   Sherry Phipps  swp@protonmail.com The term “vegetative state” has been used in the medical field for decades to describe patients who have lost cognitive function due to severe brain injury. However, the use of this term is increasingly being criticized for its dehumanizing connotations. This article explores why the term is problematic and suggests alternatives that respect the dignity of patients. The Problem with the Term The term “vegetative state” is derived from the word “vegetable,” implying a lack of consciousness or awareness. This comparison is not only scientifically inaccurate but also deeply disrespectful. It reduces a human being, with their unique history, personality, and potential, to the status of a plant. Moreover, the term can lead to harmful misconceptions. It may cause people to believe that these patients are incapable of experiencing pain or emotions, which is not always the case. Some research suggests that certain patients in a so-called vegetative state

Breakthrough Brain Implant Technology for TBI

  After suffering a traumatic brain injury in 2001,  Gina Arata would often trip over things, get mad easily, and forget basic information. Today, however, a tiny implant is enabling Arata to live more like her pre-accident self. The device delivers targeted electrical stimulation to a part of the brain’s thalamus, with the goal of  “overdriving” it to restore brain function  — similar to how a pacemaker restores heart function, the researchers said.  Read the full article here:  https://www.freethink.com/health/tbi-brain-stimulation?utm_campaign=freethinkweekly&utm_source=rejoiner&utm_medium=email&utm_content=12%2F12%2F23+F%2A+Weekly&rjnrid=3NGOnGm
