Blood clot in my spinal cord during surgery, “dead” for a minute or two. Did the whole floating above my body and white light thing (_snip_) It sounds to me like you are _dis_-agreeing with **Monty** with this description here. It reads like you are describing a typical ‘NDE’. ---

I agree, it is reasonable to assume **lekatt** was not meaning to imply that the talking cured the cancer. ---

> [@Revtim](#): > > I agree, it is reasonable to assume **lekatt** was not meaning to imply that the talking cured the cancer. If lekatt were anyone else - i would agree with that reasoning - but he truly seems to believe that you can “wish your way” out of everything - so, IMHO, he is claiming that his “talking to the guy about love and happiness” somehow helped to ‘force cancer into remission’ - just not directly so he can weasel his way out of it later. Now - if I were cancer - and lekatt was talking to my host - I would sure in the fuck want to get the hell out of there.
