I assume you mean Eben Alexander, since the only Abe Alexander I could find who was still alive was a lawyer. Always a good first sign, when you can't even get the name of your professional opinion right.
Unsurprisingly, you've managed to completely misread what I actually asked for, in your mad rush to be the biggest twat you possibly could. Because I didn't ask you for a first person opinion piece from a neuroscientist; that's just an argument from authority. What I asked you for was peer reviewed mainstream scientific research that backs up your claims of near death experiences. Not everything a scientist writes counts as that, you know.
You were asked for evidence of this ridiculous claim, and for research you gave us a single book from someone unqualified, and the personal testimony of someone who might be. Neither of those is evidence; it's uninformed study in the first case, and personal opinion in the second.
Do you know that mainstream science has tested near death experiences, and every time they have, those tested have failed? Here's some experimental results, some actual evidence: they show that near death experiencers do not have experiences that match with the real world. They are, most likely, merely hallucinations.
Here's some real neuroscientific data: even people who aren't actually near death claim to have these near death experiences when they think they're dying.
Oh yeah: you can also induce these things artificially by merely depriving the brain of blood. There's your evidence, bitch.
