A freak allergy attack led to a surreal near-death experience for nurse Julia Evans, and she passed into an otherworldly realm where she saw long-dead friends and relatives and, briefly, 'Jesus'
Simply breathing in the pollen from a bunch of flowers led to a dramatic near-death experience for a nurse. Canadian Julia Evans recalled how, as medics scrambled to save her life, she found herself in a serene state where she encountered relatives and friends who had died years before.
Speaking to podcaster Jeff Mara, she told how the amazing experience had begun. She had just arrived at the hospital where she worked on, when she started feeling “scratchy” in her throat.
She described how she started trying to work out what was wrong, recalling: "You go through very rapidly in your head; ‘Did I come in contact with something? Did I eat something funny? Do I have a cold?’

Thanks, I am open to additional and new info. What I’ve read just always seemed too statistically upbeat to be real.

Kind of like there are no bigfoot fossil or skeletal remains anywhere to examine credibly. Why? Because they don’t exist.
I would check out Burke.
He also has a book.
Our church did a study class on it and I heard really good things
