… And it All Started With a Near-Death Experience | Kari Kloth's NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
Mrs. Kloth, a 30-year-old radiologist, suffered cardiac arrest from bulimia-induced potassium deficiency while out with friends. Her heart stopped, causing the NDE. She left her body and floated above it, feeling lightness and freedom without pain. She heard voices calling her name and saw her body on the ground. She gained 360-degree vision and heard everything clearly. She floated higher into light, relived key life moments quickly, and saw people from her life trying to touch her, but she avoided them to prevent danger. At the border, her three-year-old son called to her, but she chose to cross further into a desert. There, a stranger in a gown smiled and said, 'There is healing for you,' pointing to her heart as doctors revived her. She felt angry to return. After the NDE, she developed psychic abilities, seeing invisible things like a baby's peril. She searched for the stranger, traveling alone to Egypt and Sudan, finding him as Mevlana after 1.5 years. He taught her to use her gifts. She healed bulimia by writing her story and committing to change, ending it 42 years ago. She became a psychic healer, wrote books, traveled 33 countries, and gained purpose in helping others and trusting intuition.
“Back then I used to have a pretty satisfactory life in terms of my personal materialistic goals. I had an amazing job in radiology in the St. Georg Hospital in Hamburg.”
The account features a cardiac arrest with out-of-body perceptions, providing some evidential base, but is severely limited by vague, non-specific details like seeing one's body and hearing voices, with no verification attempts or confirmations reported. No unique or unpredictable elements are described, and the report occurs decades later without prior documentation.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
