Alan Pearce joins us for the first time on Wake the Dead to discuss his book “Coma & Near Death Experience.” Which documents the experiences of individuals who woke up from coma to describe their experiences while unconscious. Every day around the world, thousands of people are placed in medically-induced comas. For some coma survivors, the experience is an utter blank. Others lay paralyzed, aware of everything around them but are unable to move, speak, or even blink. Many experience alternate lives spanning decades, lives they grieve once awakened. Some encounter ultra-vivid nightmares, while others undergo a deep, spiritual oneness with the universe or say they have glimpsed the afterlife. Contrary to popular belief, medically induced comas ARE NOT SLEEP. It does not restore the body the way sleep does. Doctors sell it as sleep, it is not. Coma affects a different portion of the brain. The regenerative effects of sleep are actually turned off by the drugs used to induce coma. There are no benefits to medically induced comas and the process is unnecessary. More often than not many coma survivors go on to suffer lasting cognitive and physical harm. Exploring proven alternatives to medically-induced coma, Alan shows how we can avoid the suffering caused by comas, this book reveals the wide variety of conscious states that can arise during comas, both positive and negative, and how accepting the reality of these experiences is crucial not only to the recovery of coma survivors, but also to the field of consciousness and NDE studies.
