Changes in Heart Transplant Recipients that Parallel the Personalities of their Donors
Paul Pearsall, Ph.D.
The incidence of recipient awareness of changes in their memories and other aspects of their consciousness associated with their donor is unknown. Interviews with transplant recipients, recipient families and friends, and donor families and friends suggest that the effects of immunosuppresant drugs, physiological and psychological stress of the precipitating condition, treatment, and surgery, and statistical coincidence are likely insufficient to explain the documentation in 10 cases of 2 to 5 parallels per case between changes following surgery and the histories of the donor. This presentation outlines the theory and research on "cellular memory," energy cardiology and the possibility of "heart-to-heart connection across time and space.
