Hi,

I cannot speak for heart transplants, but I have otosclerosis. Hit me in my 30's and my hearing declined significantly. I have had multiple operations for this and all of them ultimately deteriorated. I think it was the second operation when I got a bone transplant from a donor. These are tiny little bones that conduct sound. The operation was a huge success initially, and it was wonderful to have my hearing restored. After being discharged from the hospital, I returned home. Was a bit tired after the operation and just lay in bed to rest. The most wonderful classical music started up. I had no idea my neighbours played such loud music, but I was very happy to listen to it. I listened to this beautiful music for maybe an hour? It was still playing when my partner returned home from work. I commented to him that the neighbours clearly liked loud music. What music he asked? The music was still playing. Anyone with normal hearing would have heard it. There was no music. It was in my head. I can compose a lot of stuff in my head, but not music like that. I knew that my donor had a love of classical music. There's no other explanation that I can find for this experience.

I had a corneal transplant years ago to restore my eyesight. For weeks afterwards I had vivid recurrent dreams about a group of people I had never met, and I wondered if they were the family and friends my donor had seen and known before his death. The dreams eventually stopped and I dismissed my conjecture as fantasy. I haven't thought about what happened since then, until I read this article and found that my experience was not so unique. Thanks for another thought-provoking post.

This raises questions about the ethics of organ transplantation. I've read quite a few anecdotes of hospitals declaring someone who could be saved as brain dead and rushing to harvest their organs for transplantation.

The Bible forbids eating an animal with the lifeblood still in it. In a sense transplantation is a form of "eating" and incorporating the vital organs of another human being.

Perhaps we should be trying to find ways to regenerate organs instead of playing Dr. Frankenstein.

The demand for organs for transplantation is driving an enormous criminal enterprise in places like China and Ukraine, and arguably American emergency rooms. Ethically, maybe we should resign ourselves to death when our time comes. If someone else had to be murdered so that you can extend your life by 10 or 15 years, is that a price you are willing to pay eternally? We rationalize it by saying it was someone who was going to die anyway, or was already declared brain dead. But, what it really means is that they stop trying to save someone who is unconscious or in a coma, but still has viable organs. If their organs are still viable, then in the majority of cases they have at least a chance of recovering. Instead of trying to help them recover, we snuff them and scoop out their organs while their heart is still beating. It has morphed into an industry that takes the lives of the poor and the unfortunate in order to provide viable organs to those with the $$$ to pay for them. I say this as someone who once worked for the United Network for Organ Sharing, which is the organization that matches "donors" with recipients.

This reminds me of the Adoption Industry, and that is surely what it is. My brother and his wife adopted a baby, and the stories he told me of the process, of the lying by the mothers, not to mention the exorbitant cost. It is baby selling, pure and simple.

Expand full comment

As an adoptive parent, I used to worry about this. It would take a long time to tell you all the things I considered. In the end, as life unfolded for the birth mothers/families of the children we adopted, I understood why the mothers made the choice they did. Neither set out to "sell" a baby. An unexpected pregnancy in each case. A partner threatening to leave if no abortion occurred in one. But she said, no, I'll place for adoption." But he left anyway and she couldn't do it on her own having 2 kids already and no support system.

In the other situation the mom was living in her car and trying to keep off using Marijuana. Later , even after placing the baby for adoption, one of her other children was kidnapped by the father because he thought she wasn't taking good care of him. So much has happened. She is prone to emotional breakdowns and things are very difficult.

Basically, I think what you are saying comes across too harsh and un-nuanced. Your brother is likely going to understand a lot more as he walks this journey. There is a lot of heartbreak in it all. But none of it was the child's fault and a child deserves a chance for a loving family and a life with potential for happiness.

Please forgive my harshness, I didn't mean for it to come across that way. There are truly so many mothers who find themselves in sad, difficult situations. Some put themselves there through callousness or carelessness, and far too many, as you have said, find themselves there though no fault o their own. Thank you for another perspective.

Thank you for your generous-spirited reply! I see a combination of both: choices that often weren't best layered on top of incredibly difficult life circumstances that came first. Seeing such suffering saddens me, but I am gradually making peace with what I cannot change.

The life of a creature is in the blood . . . . Lev. 17:11

Expand full comment

The organs are transported with blood still in them. Though they probably flush out the blood with saline solution before performing the transplant surgery. The point of the command not to eat the animals with the blood in them is that we aren't supposed to try to incorporate the life force of other beings into ourselves by any of the several possible means of doing that. The passages that granted us permission to eat animal life, also require us to pour out the blood. That makes carnivory for humans a form of sacrifice.

Expand full comment

You are very close to the truth. Some ancient cultures (think of the Aztecs and Mayans) deliberately ate human organs in order to absorb their life force. I can believe some cultures would have done the same with animals. The Torah prohibits many food customs on the basis of separation from pagan cultures. The whole idea of Jews not mixing dairy and meat comes from a prohibition that states that Israelites were not to boil their kid (goat or lamb) in its mother's milk. That was a pagan fertility custom. It has nothing to do with health.

Expand full comment

It could be that many of the regulations in Leviticus are health-related, directed toward avoiding consumption of raw meat, pork, or shellfish. There was no refrigeration, and sometimes no means of thoroughly cooking to a high enough temperature. These directives were very beneficial, if followed.

No doubt, they are. But, the prohibition of eating an animal with the "lifeblood" still in it seems more metaphysical. Germans eat blood pudding in a sanitary way. There is more than mere sanitation involved here.

I've always felt that the idea of withdrawing blood from cattle and drinking it, as some African tribes still do, is unholy. I'd gladly starve rather than drink blood from any animal. And I find the very idea of organ transplantation abhorrent.

My understanding of the world has changed so drastically due to the last 3.5 years. I have read voraciously from early 2020 hoping to discover what the heck is going on knowing something very strange & perplexing was occurring. I now suspect so much of what we have been told or understand about the world to be false, lies, and manipulations. Maybe going back thousands of years. In fact, I see now that its a full time sport to keep “us”, most of us who are not billionaires in a state of fear and anxiety while the bad guys are TAKING MORE AND MORE from all the rest of the world while fooling people into believing they are the good guys!! That is a very simplistic statement because its just too difficult to explain the full scope of it all. Thankfully Substack articles, whistleblowers and other advocates help to explain some of it. I feel without a doubt it is a heartless global coup d’etat by just a relative few compared to the 8 billion people inhabitants of the world, a minuscule few. Will they really be successful and accomplish their coup when the rest of us die or become imprisoned by these megalomaniac, power hungry, GOD-less creatures who don’t deserve to be called HUMANS??

"TAKING MORE AND MORE from all the rest of the world while fooling people into believing they are the good guys"

Sharon, have you noticed the transfer of wealth just since Barack Obiden took over? This week $24 billion more is going to "Ukraine". I think we are in the $trillions$ now given to Ukraine. Actually 1% will go to help Ukrainians, the other 99% is spread around amongst all Good Commies Leaders.

And then go back 2000 to present, Holy Smokes the amount of $'s transferred out of our pockets is sickening. That money is then put in the pockets of Commies worldwide. They are FILTHY rich while doing nothing.

But, back to the point, they are taking all the money. All of it. They then take that money and not only live luxurious lifestyles with HEAVY security, but they also use the excess cash to buy off ... everyone. All elected (both sides) even down to the local level. All media. All judiciary. All everyone they need.

Everyone but yours UnTruly. Nada. They have not offered me a penny. What can I do to get on this prestigious $ list $?

They've bought off or blackmailed everyone they need to 'get the job done'. We are in DEEP trouble.

Here is Schwab's daughter talking about us Peons (how we'll be controlled quite easily) AND all the wealth they accumulated the past 3 years. Sickening. They are so cocky. So relaxed. They know they've got us. At least for now?

So much of that control relies on cell phones and communications. I kept my landline and kept an old phone that won't take apps but I could still use it to call if I bring it back. The new cell, if needed, will somehow be lost or stolen. Maybe it sounds silly, but one of the the best ways to beat them is to disconnect.

In the realm of there is more than the physical world, I have a friend who was a lawyer registered to practice before the Supreme Court and a true Christian who believes it is actually a sin to lie (bare false witness). He is obsessed with honesty. He had a friend who was a medium used by the police to find murder victims. Although highly skeptical, when the medium asked him to go with her to the local police station to find a missing young women, he went along. In a conference call with police from a different state a thousand miles away that the medium had never been too, she was able to provide such a vivid description of both the location of the body and the nature of the murder that police where able to find the body in a very rural, out of the way place that could only have been known by being there. They were also able to convict the murderer. It was an incredibly draining experience for the medium, she had to live the murder and experience the death of the young lady. My friend witnessed it all with amazement. Given his immortal soul was on the line if he lied, I was confident it was a true story. There is a lot more to life than we can even imagine. Keep up the great work Midwestern Doctor (MD). You're an inspiration.

Question - given the nanoparticles in the Covid shots and a lot of other things, do you think the distilled water and Zeta potential treatment would be a defense against that?

The modern stone age medical mafia will never want to understand this since they rely on extremely lucrative organ transplants to get filthy rich. That's why the market for organs is skyrocketing. More people are dying and more people are experiencing life threatening diseases.

I had a friend who was told he needed to go on the heart transplant waiting list. Then they changed their minds and nothing more was said about it.

What a thought provoking article. I now question organ transplants as being the best option if the existence afterwards shows such a short life span. I’m still pondering the true reason and admit I’m highly skeptical after the disillusionment of our medical community. I wish more doctors were as patient-focused as MWD instead of robots for AMA and big Pharma. An excellent article and makes us even more aware of the intricacies of human life. Our body including every step of life is a wonderment that only God could make to such infinite details of structure and function.

This is a very thought provoking article. Very timely in looking at the world we are living in now where everything we thought we knew and were comfortable with must be reexamined. Frankly this is why I read substacks and the contributions of those who comment. For one thing the writers and readers are people who have realized or always knew the narratives we are told are wrong. In Zen they say to look at things with a beginner's mind. I strive, and sometimes fail to do that. I am seriously reexamining spirit and our connectedness. I have never had a transplant or known anyone on a personal level who has, but I have seen close friends and relatives die. and could feel their departure, not just a shutting down of the body. I also held a number of my pets because no one should have to die alone, dogs and cats, as they passed on ( I like that term because it is more accurate than die - like a switch turning off). Thank you for this look at what organ transplants reveal.

I don't mind using the word "die," but I'm certain the process takes time; how much time probably no one really knows, but I'm certain it takes quite a while. I think this is the root of the Jewish tradition of "sitting shiva," i.e. sitting with the body of the deceased person for a long time (up to a day.)

What is physical death, anyway? Current medical dogma holds that "brain death" is what really counts. If so, consider the death of Robert F. Kennedy, Sr.: His heart continued to beat for a long time after he was declared brain dead. Modern medicine would say he was dead while his heart steadfastly continued to beat. What a sacrilege!

Mitochondria continue their biochemical processes after the heart stops. Veins continue to draw deoxygenated blood back toward the heart after the heart stops beating. (AMD wrote about this little-known phenomenon recently in her series about zeta potential.) Who knows how many other subtle, largely or completely unknown biological processes continue long after what we call "death?" Who knows how many subtle energies are still active in the body after it has "died?"

I am certain that though the body dies (however gradually and mysteriously) our essence is eternal, whether you call that the spirit, soul, or any other name. I actually believe all those various references for our energetic being refer to specific levels of consciousness - that we are in fact souls, and spirits, and eternal consciousness.

The bodies of Tibetan Buddhist Monks are left undisturbed for at least 7 days after death ~ and the Tibetan Book of the Dead is read for the benefit of the deceased for 49 days.

Admittedly, the latter is to help the soul transition from this life to the next, but there are those rare stories of people who "return" their body in the mortuary, with amazing tales of the "afterlife".

Metta Zetty: Maybe that's the cause of some people's fear of being buried alive: perhaps in a past life they returned to their body after they appeared to have died, and their body had already been buried. This reminds me of Edgar Allen Poe's story titled The Fall of the House of Usher. In that gothic tale, the sister of Lord Usher is interred before she has died. What ensues is terrifyingly cataclysmic. It reminds me, too, of the medieval physician Paracelsus. He did an autopsy on a body which was apparently dead, but he found that the heart was still beating, ever so faintly and subtly, once he cut the body open. He was found guilty of murder and spent the rest of his life in prison.

OMG! I had never heard this story about Paracelsus. What a tragedy! This possibility (or at least the fear of it) was also the reason for the surge in "safety coffins" in the 1800s.

I've read Pearsall's book, and many of his reports are jaw-dropping, the kind you want to jump up and tell someone about they are so miraculous. While the wondrous personality and other changes that occur following heart transplants can inspire us that there may be a soul whose residence is not confined to any one part of the body, but may be shared by multiple parts, if not every cell of the body in some small way, it will be sad but likely that those whose myocardium were injured by the COVID vaxx also sustained some time of soul damage. Personality changes have already been reported. I would be surprised if eventually a correlation was not found between myocardial COVID vaxx damage and personality change.

@Mark Brody ~

I do not think we have to jump to the conclusion that the soul will be damaged by the jab. In fact, I think it is far better for us NOT to hold this assumption.

After all, we have no reason to believe the "soul" is damaged by dementia or by the amputation of a limb. If consciousness (or the soul, or God) is, indeed, primary, injuries to the body will remain secondary.

In this context, it may be helpful to read the Midwestern Doctor's article about "Regenerative Medicine and the Cell Danger Response". Remarkable recoveries from spike protein damage have been reported, and simply being open to this possibility may be vitally important in terms of many, many type of recovery ~ not just vaccine injury:

From what I understand the mRNA causes spike protein to disperse throughout the microvascular system including the brain and cause roughness on the lining of the endothelial microvascular system. The brain is miles long and if the endothelial is damaged, it would make sense that it could change one’s personality. If only to reduce one’s ability to focus & comprehend or be impatient or frustrated more easily perhaps (just a guess). It goes without saying some people get grumpy if they don’t feel well or operating at a lower functioning level. It could be subtle I suppose too.

Hi Doc, thanks for posting this! I commented last week on your post about the lack of innovation in medicine and I believe that it's because we have been given a wrong paradigm to look at medicine ...and the whole.

I mentioned how the whole pandemic made me research everything and one of the things I researched was the topic of consciousness and reality. Matter of fact, I'm working on an analysis diving into this topic:

The Spirituality of Reality: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-spiritual-perspective-of-reality

Long story short, I've come to determine that we can no longer look at the SPIRITUAL and the PHYSICAL as two different aspects. This was a mistake we made back in the 1600s and it's finally catching up to us. In order for us to truly understand the nature of our reality, we need to take a step back and look at everything, particularly how the SPIRITUAL INTERTWINES WITH THE PHYSICAL.

This concept has led to this post in which I question the paradigm we find ourselves in, which was built on off of the shoulders of "Scientism." This "scientismic reality" only scratches the surface of what our reality is truly built on, and if we study the myths and legends of old, we see they have much more to offer to understanding our reality, that what Scientism has come up with for the past two hundred years, starting with Evolution:

FYI: This is behind a paywall: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-religious-tenants-of-scientism

Overall, this is just scratching the surface and I believe when we begin to look at the HOLISTIC nature of reality, then we truly begin to dive deeper into the true nature of reality. Once we do that we can begin to see just how powerful and strong these physical bodies are and what their true meaning is meant to do.

If anyone's interested in somewhere to start, here's a great article based off a comment on Dr. Malone's page:

Doc, you don't deal with xeno-grafts (if that is the right term), but I bet they have the same issue, just different outcomes. In the 1990s we had a neighboring family, parents in their 40s, young kids and teens. For some reason the husband developed partial heart failure. He and his wife decided to take the option of having a part of his heart replaced with part of a pig's heart.

It took, and he lived. Several months after the operation, though, we met his wife on the road between our properties. She was exhausted and almost looked haunted. She told us that she was at wit's end, because ever since the operation, her husband was thinking of almost nothing but having sex and was constantly after her to have sex. I moved away soon after that, so I don't know how it worked out, but I recall at the time wondering if the addition of a part of a pig's heart had changed his personality into something more animalistic. Now in reading your summary of experience with human heart transplants, I believe my earlier theory was in fact correct.

Any part of your research deal with non-human transplants like this one I describe, or was that a 1990s experiment that petered out (so to speak) and is no longer done?

Meesh, I haven't read anything about valves as far as personality changes are concerned, nor have I ever noticed such a change with that very common operation. The man I'm speaking of had something over 1/4 of his entire heart replaced with that portion of a pig's heart, something far larger than a single valve. I don't think it's an issue with valves. However, you're now in a position to observe, so see if you notice anything. I doubt you will, but I'm no expert. Also, this man I speak of might not be at all affected by the pig tissue but reacting to one or more of the drugs he had to take. My original comment was simply to open the subject to see if there are any reports out there where someone might be saying he/she has seen indications that non-human heart tissue can bring its own influence.

You observe, "Furthermore, some of those traditions believe each being’s consciousness is a product of multiple fragments of consciousness coming together into one cohesive whole. "

My chronic lymphocytic leukemia led me to spend my last 12 working years as an oncology massage therapist. Massaging disparate body parts frequently released totally surprising emotional shifts in my clients.

I eventually concluded that “cure” and “heal” are independent notions. “Cure” is a medical concept, to minimize or eliminate the likelihood of recurrence through appropriate medical treatment. "Heal” is an existential concept, to bring together your physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual selves into a peaceful, loving and accepting whole.

Religion, psychology and philosophy all teach that the process of healing is simple, but it is not easy. However, for all of us dealing with cancer, it is both liberating and energizing to know that we can heal ourselves and that we can be healed without being cured.

My approach was nicely summarized in a 2011 article in BodySense magazine, now found in the Internet Archive: https://tinyurl.com/bdcu9uup

What I term "massage mind" is the relaxed state that experienced meditators immediately recognize. It seems that our ceaseless conversation between body and mind creates blockages in both. Carefully structured massage can provide a physical mantra to quiet the conversation. The client more passively allows "massage mind" to happen as opposed to actively controlling the mind in traditional meditation.
