The Story
Natalie Flowerdew, a nurse, and her husband Ken, a plumber, suffered botulism poisoning after eating home-canned asparagus. The illness caused paralysis and respiratory failure, leading to Natalie's near-death experience. During the NDE, Natalie left her body and stood on a cliff over the ocean in California. She jumped into the water and saw John Denver in a crashed plane who greeted her and said she would reach the shore. A wave washed her up, and she flew to Idaho to find Ken at their agreed meeting place, 'the tree.' She saw food trucks, a boot-selling barn, and a spinning cartoon-like Jesus face. A man in a cloak, believed to be Jesus, touched her and sent her back into her body. After the NDE, Natalie and Ken spent months in the hospital on ventilators, losing over 100 pounds each and relearning basic functions. Natalie shifted to holistic medicine, gained awareness of spiritual warfare and government issues, and now questions societal norms to help others see the truth.
