Near-death experiences, often portrayed as seeing a bright light or hovering as a spirit over one’s body, are not just cultural tropes, but true phenomena according to Dr. Jeffrey Long. As a cancer expert and former skeptic, Dr. Long has spent decades studying thousands of cases and collecting over 5,000 accounts in more than 30 languages.

Dr Long’s interest in near-death experiences began when he read an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association 37 years ago that presented these experiences without clinical or medical explanation. As a cardiologist, Dr. Long was fascinated by the accounts of patients who had died and then returned to life with vivid and almost unbelievable stories.
According to Dr. Long, near-death experiences involve a person’s lucid experience while being comatose or clinically dead without a heartbeat. They perceive emotions, see, hear, and interact with other beings. These experiences are strikingly similar across different belief systems and cultural backgrounds.
To further research these phenomena, Dr. Long and his wife established the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation, allowing individuals worldwide to document their spiritual and out-of-body experiences.
Thousands of accounts have been collected, sharing remarkable stories of encountering deceased loved ones, witnessing orbs of light, and being embraced by overwhelming love and joy. These experiences have profound effects on individuals, with 45 percent reporting out-of-body experiences and 75 percent expressing a desire to stay in the afterlife.
Dr. Long’s research has not only changed his own beliefs but also transformed the way he cares for his patients. He now openly discusses these findings, providing reassurance that there is a wonderful afterlife and that they will be reunited with their deceased loved ones.
Through his research, Dr. Long has discovered that nearly 100 percent of those who have had a brush with death no longer fear it. This knowledge empowers him to help his patients cope with life-threatening diseases with increased courage and passion, aiming to improve their quality of life while providing comfort about what lies beyond.
