Terminal Lucidity

Episode Summary

Some people who are at the brink of death, with very little to no brain activity, are suddenly becoming alert, aware and cognitive again. Recalling family members names, past places and events from their lifetimes. Often having a normal conversation as if they're not sick at all. This occurs in people with various serious illnesses, such as brain tumors, final stages of Alzheimer's, severe mental disorders and the list goes on. Science has no idea why or how this occurs. Join me today as I discuss Terminal Lucidity!
