/1 Comment/in , /by

This incredible video shows the moment a young woman with a rare heart condition becomes clinically dead for a minute before being pulled back to consciousness by medical staff.

Sara Brautigam has regular brushes with death and in one year was pronounced clinically dead 36 times.

The 21-year-old was four years ago diagnosed with Postural orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS), a condition which makes her heart stop beating.

She experiences rapid palpitations that regularly cause her heart to stop beating and her blood pressure to plummet to what doctors record as clinically dead.

The alarming video was shot three years ago with the consent of Ms Brautigam who has agreed for it to be released to highlight her condition. (Read more about the woman being brought back to life HERE)

Jobless Mother Wins $564 Million Jackpot, You’ll Never Guess Her First Stop

/4 Comments/in , /by

An unemployed mother who came forward to say that she’s one of the three winners of North Carolina’s $564-million Powerball jackpot is sharing her blessing by donating money to her church.

Marie Holmes, 26, from the town of Shallotte in Brunswick, North Carolina, said she also plans to buy a house for her kids . . .

A mother of four kids including one with cerebral palsy, Holmes is overwhelmed and “very grateful” for her winning, saying that she didn’t regularly buy lottery tickets . . .

Holmes said she scared her kids when she told them that she won. “I was telling my kids that we had to struggle no more and I was yelling when I did it. I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I saw the ticket and I actually checked it,” she said.

When asked how did she feel about winning the jackpot, Holmes said, “I don’t think it really hit me yet. I guess when it hits my account, that’s when it’s gonna hit me.” (Read more about the jobless mother winning the lottery HERE)

‘Beyond Science’: Doctor Says She Visited Heaven in Near Death Experience, What She Learned Haunted Her for Years [+video]

/3 Comments/in , /by

Dr. Mary Neal, an orthopedic spine surgeon who describes herself as a “concrete thinker” who isn’t “fanciful” and doesn’t exaggerate, spent a long time trying to explain a seemingly inexplicable event that unfolded back in 1999 following a near-death experience.

After almost drowning during a kayaking accident while on a trip to Chile — and supposedly going without oxygen for 24 minutes — Neal remarkably survived without sustaining any brain damage.

And as if that weren’t miraculous enough, she claims that she visited heaven, interacted with spirits and was warned about her son’s death 10 years before it happened — an experience that left her confused and in awe.

When Neal recovered from her traumatic accident, she said that she found herself on a journey seeking answers, wondering whether she had imagined the entire heavenly ordeal.

“I really needed to figure out what I had experienced. I have gone through the process of coming up with alternative explanations,” the doctor told OWN TV’s “In Deep Shift,” noting that she considered the possibility of dreams and hallucinations. “We always want to find an explanation that we can understand other than something that is divine. I am a very concrete thinker. I’m not fanciful. I don’t exaggerate.” (Read more about the near death experience HERE)

Dr. Kent Sutterer and his team performed CPR on John for 27 minutes with no success. The question was raised: how long should they continue?

His mother then came into the room and started praying loudly.

What happened next, defies explanation.

Missouri Teen Who Came Back to Life After Being Pronounced Dead Makes Miraculous Recovery

By Kay Quinn. A 14-year-old St. Charles boy who spent 15 minutes under water after falling through the ice of Lake Ste. Louise has made a recovery no one can explain . . .

Eighth grader John Smith, who was underwater for 15 minutes, is doing something doctors never believed would be possible . . .

He is walking and talking, here with his pastor Jason Noble by his side, and trying to make sense of how he’s not just alive, but thriving.

“After listening to what the paramedics and doctors said I’m pretty surprised at the outcome,” said John.

It’s an outcome, some say, that fits with all of the other miracles that day and in the days that followed. (Read more from this story HERE)

Man Awakes from Coma After 12 Years

/3 Comments/in , /by

Martin Pistorious fell into a mysterious coma when he was a vibrant 12-year-old boy in the 1980s. He found himself locked inside his own body – unable to speak, make eye contact or even move his own limbs.

Martin’s doctors told his parents, Rodney and Joan Pistorious, that the boy had cryptococci meningitis. They said Martin should be taken home to die in peace. But Martin would live 12 years in that vegetative state.

“ . . . I was there, not from the very beginning, but about two years into my vegetative state, I began to wake up,” Martin recalls. “I was aware of everything, just like any normal person. Everyone was so used to me not being there that they didn’t notice when I began to be present again. The stark reality hit me that I was going to spend the rest of my life like that – totally alone” . . .

Now Martin, 39, is in full control of his body. He’s married and lives a normal life in Harlow, England. (Read more about “Man Awakes from Coma” HERE)

The footage of Barbara Garcia came as fellow survivors began reliving the terror they felt while winds of up to 200mph obliterated their neighborhoods.

Mrs Garcia was standing among the twisted wreckage of her home as she was interviewed about her experiences by a reporter from CBS.

“I was sitting on the stool holding my dog,” she said.

“This was the game plan all through the years, to go in that little bathroom (together). I rolled around a little bit and when it stopped I was right there (and) that stove cooker is what I saw.
