Dr Oz and John Edward did a show called Psychic Mediums: Are They The New Therapists? Doctor Oz said that he received more requests for people who wanted to be on this show than any of his shows on weight loss, cancer or heart disease. Do you believe you can talk to the dead? And if you can, does it help you get over the death of a person? Dr Oz said that 74% of Americans believe in life after death.
Dr Oz: John Edward Psychic Medium
John Edward has been a Psychic Medium for 25 years. Could talking to the dead be the best medicine for grief? Edward 
said that grief is an energetic form of cancer, and it will grow into other aspects of a person’s life. A session with a Psychic Medium can be very therapeutic. When they come in for the session, they are closed and powered down, but during the course of the reading, the lights come back o n in their eyes and they are amazed how healing it can be. They often leave inspired and feel more hopeful about the life they will live. John Edward said he lost his mother at the age of 19, and he asked her for three signs. He got all three signs over a span of nine and half years. In order to really heal though, you have to start the process while the person is still here.
Dr Oz: Psychic Mediums
Dr Oz asked two important questions: can you speak to dead people? And does it help you get over your grief if you can? It seems the answer to both of these questions is yes. Doctor Oz asked Edward when he gets these images and voices in his head, what does it feel like? John Edward said it is like having a daydream and interpreting them in my own frame of reference. Dr Oz then asked, how do you get those of us who think it is not real to think it is legitimate? John Edward said that by raising awareness is the best way. So by him being on the Dr Oz Show and saying there is a possibility of people connecting to dead people, it helps to open people’s minds. Who should not use a Psychic Medium? Edward said that anyone who is in the early stages of grief, especially a parent who lost a child, should not do it. Going to a Psychic Medium also costs money, so how do people know if it is better to do it than to see a therapist? John Edward said he always tells people to go see a therapist first.
Katherine Nordal, from the American Psychological Association, said that grief is not a disease or disorder, and people do not need a pill or even counseling most of them, but if a person is immobilized by grief then they should consider professional help. Dr Oz asked her if she thought that speaking to the deceased person through a Psychic Medium could help? She said it could be helpful to some people, especially if they had a sudden or violent loss since they tend to have the most trouble dealing with the loss since there are so many questions and people want to communicate with the person.
Dr Oz: John Edward Speaks To Dead Mom
John Edward first spoke to a girl named Jenn who asked if the process is strenuous to the person trying to cross over? He said that they are connected to us by love and want to express things sometimes that don’t get through which might make them annoyed by the Psychic Medium, but it is not strenuous really. Then Edward picked up on something about Jenn, he said that she has been getting visits through a dream state and that it is her mom who died from either breast cancer or lung cancer who passed away on a birthday or a holiday. Sure enough, Jenn lost her mother to breast cancer on her mother’s birthday! Edward said that the mom was asking who got her car? And this was in reference to a brand new lexus that the mom was supposed to pick-up and Jenn ended up taking it to school after her mother passed away. John Edward also said he picked up on something about sexting or putting inappropriate photos online, which was maybe something they were recently talking about? And Jenn said they were just talking about it because they were at a bachelorette party and were trying to figure out which photos were appropriate to post online. Dr Oz (and I!) were totally impressed by how many details John Edward got right… in fact, he got nothing at all wrong.
Dr Oz: John Edward Speaks To Dead Son
John Edward next said that someone in a certain area of Dr Oz’s audience had a son who passed away and there was a connection to either his father or grandfather who passed away from Lung Cancer. A man stood up and said this was all correct. Edward told the lady next to him to stand up because the deceased son wanted to thank her, possibly because she was helpful to his father. He also saw something about a suicide and a car accident and said that the son takes full responsibility for how the accident happened. The father said he always suspected suicide, but was never sure. The son also wished the father a happy birthday next month, and of course the dad’s birthday was next month!
Dr Oz: John Edward Talks To The Dead
The final connection that John Edward has was perhaps the most impressive. He said he felt a St Patrick’s Day connection in a section of the audience and that someone was rolled over by a tractor or car. Nobody stood up – was Edward wrong? He pointed to a specific lady who stood up and said she had no such connection, but Edward kept insisting he was getting this strong feeling from that area of the room. Finally, the girl next to her stood up and said that her friend’s roommate got hit by a car last St Patrick’s Day, and that she brought the girl’s father who also passed away. And that man wanted to do some kind of a joke about scaring her, and her mom said that he was always a jokester. John Edward said that he had a brother with him whose name started with a “F” maybe Frank? The mother said that Frank was his brother. Edward said he also felt a Bell’s Palsy connection, which was the mother coming through with a dog who had two different names. And the lady confirmed that her mother had Bell’s Palsy and her dog had two names.
Dr Oz asked this lady why she did not stand-up at first when John Edward was so insistent about the St Patrick’s Day incident. She said she was very shocked so she did not want to stand up. So what do you think now – do you believe that Psychic Mediums like John Edward can really talk to the dead? Leave your opinion in the comment section below!

Oh course we can talk to the dead! The problem is believing that they can communicate with us and in interpreting the signs and information that they send us.
Oh for Pete’s farking sake. It’s sad anyone believes in this total nonsense. Even sadder when someone who has allegedly completed a high degree of scientific education–he should have better critical thinking skills.
Edward uses a well-worn technique known as cold reading.
No these people are crackpots, they can get a letter of a first name but they can’t get a full name and birth date, and anything else, under controlled conditions.
Unless you have been there, where you don’t want to go on anymore, your heart hurts so bad, it is the saddest time in anyone’s life, the loss of a loved one. And from experience with a medium, your damn right I believe and will always believe I recommend anyone to read Dr. J. Lerma’s book Into the Light, it should get anyone who reads it, really thinking, all I can say to these skeptics,,,,thats fine you don’t believe, but one day and believe me one day it will be your turn, and you will believe.
I believe in spiritual forces and that some people have psychic abilities, but John Edwards is a joke to me. He used to have his own show on Fox. Then one of the investigative shows, perhaps 20/20 did an analysis of his claims and found that his accuracy was only something like 1 out of 14. Shortly thereafter, his show was canceled. He plays on people’s vulnerability and of course his audience will include those who have lost a loved one and have unresolved issues. When he points to a group of people and ask, “Someone over here has recently lost someone to cancer (or suicide)…” well, duh!
John Edwards is very credible.His books inspiring and uplifting.He does have a very high accuracy rate! We are so all consumed with our mundane frantic, busy lives we don’t take time to look at signs,the symbols and dreams. There is nothing evil or deceptive about it.
Its loving communication from the otherside..we just have to listen. Sometimes we communicate with the deceased without realizing it.
JE said what we can do at home to increase out intuition is 1) journal to passed over one; 2) meditate/pray, 3) be quiet
Jennifer and Michelle ,you are spot on
Once, I thought that talking to the dead wasn’t real. Then they started reaching me. It is very difficult to know what to do with the information when people have lost a loved one. I thank John Edward for educating me and as many as possible. He has helped those who are longing to know that those who have crossed over are okay and he has helped us to be carefully communicating for those on the other side. It is okay if someone doesn’t believe because they are assisted from the spirit side, anyway.
John Edwards gift of mediumship is absolutely real. The chances of him guessing and consistently getting accurate info is 1 in Trillions. Mediumship is a real phenomenon and one of the greatest gifts to humankind. Anyone who does not accept the reality of this has not done any homework whatsoever. Just google ‘survival after death’ and do a little reading and then you will know for sure. You can’t find truth if you don’t look for it! Survival after ‘death’ is the greatest discovery in the history of the human race! READ! INVESTIGATE! Go by evidence, not by beliefs!
Yeah I spoke to a dead person and she spoke back to me and said ” I can’t hear you, I’m dead”.
The dead know nothing until their judgment; the born again in Christ that are dead are with Christ in spirit form until their judgment. We/humans do not have the power of resurrection only Christ has this power. These humans/mediums are deceived by Satan and are communicating with demons, Satan wants only to destroy humans, he will use any way possible. We are to trust God and HIS HOLY SPIRIT for guidance. Talking to dead spirits is an abomination to the Lord. Humans open themselves to demonic spirits when they play with Satan. Satan can be very beautiful and definitely luring, why would he not? And something else to make you mad…Mary the mother of Jesus Christ is dead, she is with Christ in spirit form, she does not speak to the living nor does she hear them. God wants adults to put away childish behavior and to seek him and believe on his Son Jesus for salvation. Oh and my cat is a Christian kitty…she told me that…ha ha ha ha heeee ah…
My sister and I went to see John Edwards in Toronto about 7 years ago, after the sudden and tragic death of her husband. There were hundreds of people at Roy Thompson Hall and he honed in on us. He was bang on in his comments and we both came away slightly freaked out but believing that her husband had been in touch, as well as other people who were related to others in the audience. Either he’s really, really good at what he does if he’s faking, or he’s just really really good at what he does. I’d pay to see him again, and would love to have a one on one with him, not sure if he does those anymore.
I believe that their are spriits of the dead among us. We bought a home and had to sell it again because to many strange things started happening. and I couldnt deal with it. when we moved one of the neighbors let us know that the owner of the home had killed him self in the home. I never felt comfortable in the home from the start always felt like I was being watched. And I do believe John Edwards has psychic abilities. Some people may have this abilities more then others.
Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God. Leviticus 19:31
And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. Leviticus 20:6
I am appalled that Dr.Oz had this show. He allowed this farce to gain credit. As a doctor he should not condone this behaviour. People look up to doctors, and being on television makes this a greater responsibility. John Edwards has been debunked multiple times. Even if there is a real psychic phenomenon such as communicating with the dead; Edwards has been shown to be a joke via investigative journalists. Dr. Oz has failed has a scientist and as a physician by giving credence to this practise and to John Edwards.
I understand the skeptics & believe me I was the biggest until I actually had experiences communicating wih some dearly depated. After trying to undestand my first experience I starting researching, discovered John Edward, began reading his mateial & was astounded how closely my experience patterned his descriptions. He says “of course one would be skeptical.” Don’t knock it until you’ve experienced it.
As in the law of consevation of energy … “energy can neither be created or destroyed: it can only be transformed from one state to another. The only thing that can happen to energy in a closed system is that it can change form: for instance chemical energy can become kinetic.” This leads me to believe in life after death. In the full scheme of things … this leads me to believe that John Edwards truly has this ability/gift.
Congrats to Dr. Oz for exploring all avenues in his broadcast endevors, with an open mind and the logic that just because he and others may not have the same interests or views, he is still open to the exploration.
I am a total believer in John Edwards ability to help ones who have passed over to communicate to their loved ones. The problem is these days is many people
scoff at his ability and they have no proof that he is not what he is. I miss his
show and he has helped me through many days when I have been made fun of to keep
my belief’s to myself. Thank you John and Dr. Oz for these shows. I was unfortunately
unable to see this show as I was gone but I hope it will be repeated soon.
There is PLENTY of proof that Edward is “not what he is”. His technique is called cold reading, Look up “Cold reading” in Wikipedia (I write this knowing in advance that the believers here never will look it up, because it might disturb their warm, comforting delusions – gosh, what a psychic I am!). John Edward is an exploitative con man, a life form beneath my contempt.
I am a psychic medium, but I also hold a PhD in Natural Resources Management. What keeps me doing psychic work is consistently receiving information that I could not have known in advance. That’s as important to me as to my clients. In a recent reading, a cousin who died just the day before came through and asked my client to call her (the deceased’s) mother and deliver a specific loving message. She ended with, “And tell her I finally quit smoking!” It turned out she’d died of lung cancer after years of smoking, and her mother had begged her, to the very end, to stop. I do this work for the verifications, the comfort it brings, the utter love–and the loving humor!
John Edward is amazing. We all have the ability to connect with the dead if we let them come through. We all get a feeling that someone is with us if we pay attention to the feeling we get. Looking forward to getting John;s new book.
I find it interesting, those who do not believe are very sarcastic and rather mean in the comments they make. If you don’t believe, that is your right, and, if I believe it is my right. There is no reason a dialogue shouldn’t continue with respect to each others right to believe or not.
I’ve always been skeptical, but I just visited a spirtual psychic for the first time, and I am still in awe. She said I knew a male, my age, who died in a car accident. I said yes, but I thought that is a common scenairo. I finally told her I didn’t know this person, and she said “we’ll move on”. Then she stopped and said, “No, I’m positive you know this person. He says he has his 3 babies with him. Now, do you know who it is?”. I said yes, because the person I knew died with his 3 young sons in the car. I was shocked. She went on to tell me many more accurate statements. I was convinced. I can’t stop thinking about it.
I am a bit skeptical but I must admit that I truly believe that John Edward does communicate with the dead. I have a great desire to get a reading by John Edward but seeing I live in Malta (a small island in the Mediterranean) I can’t ever see how I can achieve this wish, unless maybe if he can do it over the phone. A few years ago, I did send an email to enquire if John Edward would consider coming over to Malta but was told that it was highly unlikely. I sincerely hope that he might reconsider as I would love to meet this wonderful man. I have watched many of his TV Shows and I have also read a couple of his books and strongly believe that he has a wonderful talent. I would like to thank John for his work and to wish him lots of luck for the future. God Bless
The accusation that John cold reads is unfounded. It may, in fact, be the case, but if it is he’s undoubtedly the best at what he does. But I have seen enough of his abilities to believe this goes beyond “cold reading” and his “technique” in no way resembles that of the professional illusionist. As for the post that insists that anyone who believes this stuff is too lazy to look up cold reading, let me assure you that I have seen the “Derren Brown’s” and a host of other cold readers and I was not impressed. There was no comparison to them and John who would latch onto a single person or group and then rattle off a string of 10-12 hits and then leave those people crying. John Edwards is one of the few mediums who has lent himself to scrutiny at the University of Arizona’s Human Energy System’s Lab under a double and triple blind study and was not found wanting with stats that defied chance. Schwartz has been criticized by the skeptical community and even a well recognized media journalist and he has even responded to a scathing review by Michael Schermer. None of the accusations stuck and it is, in fact, Dr. Schwartz who is now allegedly filing a defamation suit against the aforementioned journalist. This doesn’t sound like a man who is trying to hide. He has even invited The Amazing Randi to come to the university and try to match the performance of his mediums through any trickery he deemed advantagious to his case. Randi never accepted the challenge. These gifts are measured by statistics like many other areas of science. The problem with the Randis of the world is that their demands are unrealistic in regards to performance and they require stupendous results with a one-shot test. No serious scientist would ever do that. As for personal psychic experiences, these come and go like gifts and they come much like a natural disaster in their unpredictability. Skeptics say, “If this is real then show me”, or, “anything that is real is replicable in a lab”. Can you imagine someone saying, “I don’t believe in Tsunamis. Show me one”, or “Replicate a Tsunami for me, otherwise, I won’t believe”. Truth is, we all believe in Tsunamis because of the destruction left behind which is lasting and demonstrable of their empirical reality. Unfortunately, psychic experiense are equally unpredictable but they leave nothing in their wake.
Until someone explains qualia and how atoms which randomly bump into each other find a way to string themselves together into the near limitless information found in DNA to produce consciousness, or how clumps or colonies of cells are working in concert to produce a singular identity, I am inclined to believe in the spirit of man and our dualistic nature. If you’re a phony John, then shame on you. Personally, I think you are real due to
A) Your willingness to submit to scientific scrutiny
B) Your stat performance
C) The arguments that support the concept of primacy of consciousness which you can read about in Dr. Robert Lanza’s book, “Biocentrism”. This guy is a leading biologist so unless you are yourself a leading and cutting edge scientist, please don’t post telling everyone how unscientific mediumship is.
My two cents…
Where & when to see him in India to believe him? Let me know at the earliest.
I just came from a group reading with JE. There were 1000 people in the forum- I was
among the six he honed in on. My father came through- after dying over 40 + years ago.
Everything he said was spot on- I am changed forever that my dad loves me. Pure and
simple- Love never dies. Thank you John Edwards. If you are a skeptic- just attend his
event. I did.

I went to a reading with John Edward which was only for 15 people. I went there to take notes for my friend, completely expecting her to be disappointed and for nothing to happen. They did not have my name, so they couldn’t have researched me. Not to mention I go by another name they would not have found online either… My grandfather came through and shared things John Edward couldn’t possibly know… My friend also was read and the details were too specific for it to be a lie. You really have to experience it yourself to understand… it’s easy to think it’s all a ruse. I always thought it was. For days I was trying to get my logical educated brain around it… but there’s no use… I’ve no doubt John Edward has a gift.
You have to be there to understand the atmosphere in which these things come through. It is a very healing, heart felt atmosphere where the love of those trying to communicate something comes through. I was read by JE in Austin, Texas , he gave me details but I could not confirm them at the time. I gave the details of the reading to a member of my husband’s family; this family member who lives in London called me and confirmed the information that had come through and she was blown awayl…..she did not confirm back the words that I said to her but instead what JE had said! How is this possible? She was the most important recipient of this information; I was more like a conduit. However, the experience was very healing for me and my husband because we had lost my husband’s mother, one year and one week before the day of the reading, she was the one who came through.
I have just seen JE live in Liverpool because I wanted to make sure for myself that the TV shows were not edited, and check if I thought he was cold reading. I saw that this show was exactly like his TV shows therefore I do not believe they are manipulated by editing and I only noticed 4 comments from JE out of a 2 hour show that could have been interpreted as cold reading. (Nowhere near enough evidence to prove the skeptics right!) The rest of the time he gave proof after proof of accurate information to the people who were read. He appeared very geniune and sincere, and although of course people can fake that, I really don’t think he does. Jerry DeCaire is spot on with – two cents worth above. Well said. I am not sure if JE is actually talking to the dead. Perhaps he is tapping into some universal consciousness that science may be on the verge of discovering? However I do not believe he is a deliberate conman who prays on people’s grief. It’s possible there is something in the quantum physics world that could explain this. The Skeptic’s out there really need to look deeper into this. Look at Near Death Experiences and the Aware study. The current scientific work being done on conciousness and read Dr Schwartz findings. Maybe even have a reading from a medium yourself. It is great that you have enquiring minds…………use them!
I am by no means convinced that John Edwards is the real deal, but cold reading?!?! Have you skeptics watched much of this guy? Accuse him of hot reading or something more creative, but cold reading? Come on. At least watch the guy in action a few times(and know the correct definition of cold reading) before you try to discredit the guy. It’s funny how so many consider their agressive closed-mindedness to be skepticism.
I do believe in him I also lost my husband a month ago he when into cariage arest in was all of a sudden he was not sick at all and it is very painfull the more the days go by the harder it is and I have many guestions for him I miss and love him so much thank you Rosa
I lost my daughter 5 1/2 yrs ago to breast cancer at the age of 35 and just lost a son at the age of 45, he commited suicide. I’ve longed to be able to know John Edward and learn how to be in touch with my daughter and now with both of them. I used to watch John Edward years ago when he had a program on TV.
Okay,
I have just one more add to this post.
Pick up a copy of Pim Van Lommel’s “Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near Death Experience.”
One of the striking points made by PVL is how consciousness accounts for the brain’s neuroplasticity-the brain literally rearranging itself due only to the mind’s will. Neurophysiologist and Nobel Prize laureate Roger Sperry, who has done a great deal of research among “split-brain” patients, also reached the surprising conclusion that the mind directly determines neural activities. This conclusion is supported by neuropsychologist Benjamin Libet, known for his theory of “readiness potential” (RP), an unconscious “ready” signal in the brain preceding a conscious decision to act (“free will”) or not to act (“free won’t”) by 350 milliseconds. He concluded that the conscious mental field can consolidate subjective experiences but also has the potential to directly influence neural activities. There has also been research into voluntary self-regulation of emotions among men viewing sexually arousing film excerpts. With the help of MRI techniques the researchers demonstrated this correlation between special aspects of consciousness and brain function because certian centers were activated for emotions, and the conscious and voluntary regulation of emotions specifically involved increased activity in the frontal lobes (ie: prefrontal cortex) .
So what does the aforementioned have to do with John Edwards? These results empirically and quantitatively support the dualistic nature of man by showing that conscious and voluntary self-regulation of emotions has a very real effect on the activity of the various brain centers involved. In summation, the human mind can change the brain rather than the brain changing the mind as Dennett would argue. Therefore it would be incorrect to claim that consciousness can only be a product of brain function.
The brain contains only 10 to the fourteenth synapses and if one synapse contained only one bit of information, brain function would require more than that amount for information processing than our human DNA can handle according to current knowledge.
If the medical science isn’t smart enough for you, then consider Wolf Prize winning physicist Penrose claims that a computer’s (similar to a brain) algorithms are incapable of stimulating mathematical reasoning and can therefore never produce consciousness. A machine (the brain) no matter how cleverly constructed by human intellect, is not in a position to answer philosophical questions about the meaning of life. In other words, our consciousness cannot be localized within the brain.
Nobel Prize winning neuroscientist, John Eccles, points out that the there are only one of two possibilities for the first neuron to fire in a cascade of subsequent neurons to effect-whether that be a motor response or a thought. The first neuron must be preceeded by an infinite regression of neurons in light of cause and effect (as any hard nosed materialist would argue) which is impossible given the finite number of neurons in the brain, or the first firing of a neuron just “spontaneously” happened, which is exactly what the disbelieving skeptics would have us believe. Yes, the skeptics are the mystics-not the believers. The skeptic materialist is always quick to point out that scientifically every effect must have a cause and yet when you try to resolve the origination of the first neuronal impulse, you are left with but two choices: 1)this just happens without a cause or 2) the cause is something transcendant.
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe in the soul and something that transcends the natural world of physics for the aforementioned reasons and others.This is not a debate between the intelligent and the stupid as the skeptics would have you believe, it is only a debate between those who want to believe and those who don’t want to believe. Because you see, almost invariably the person who doesn’t believe that consciousness survives bodily death also inists there isn’t a god or a primal mind behind all of this-a god that they and all the rest of us will one day be accountable to. And mostly we will hold ourselves accountable on that near death experience and the life review.
Does any of this prove that John Edwards is real? No! But it should at least prohibit you from insisting he isn’t authentic and that anyone who thinks he is authentic is somehow daft and negligent of the science. This should at least temper the scathing mockery coming out of the non-believers mouths who would have us believe that they are only sharing the truth with us because they don’t like to see the grieved abused by charlatans.If you really care, then why are you so insulting and abusive of those who are looking for hope? Therein lies your true motives and it’s all about ego.
Go peggy sue!! Amen..if there is no Jesus is the picture than it is not good..anything not good is God..and Jesus is God. If your not doing your spiritual traveling with Jesus you are definitely doing it with Satan..Satan can appear as an angel of light..He is the deceiver and the Father of lies..
ANYTHING NOT GOOD IS NOT OF GOD..Sorry guys
I am very much interested to know where in INDIA -BOMBAY OR PUNE can i contact a medium as i would want to communicate with my husband who left us on 24th of december 2010 .
yes you can talk to the dead but the only problems is….they dont talk back. but they do pull your hair and scatch you.
any one who believes in sprits and we having a soul ,should stop and think there is some form of activity even after we have given up our mortal remains. If we believe in GOD and the prayers we do for the dead to rest in peace. would have no meaning if life was not to continue ,at another level.
I would absolutely love to see John Edward. I have experienced things like this. I have dreams and visions of things and them they happen. I would love to know when he comes back to your show.
I have personally been read by John. This man is short of amazing and I can tell you from personal experience…there was not one moment during the reading that he wasn’t spot on! Not only was he right, he brought messages to myself and family that will never be forgotten and inspiration that will live on with us until we pass….I only hope that when my time comes I have the ability to help those I’ve left behind through their grief. As Dr. Oz stated…the experience changed my life forever. I have seen John three times, the first time in a room of about 2500 people, and I was the first reading. And everytime since I’ve taken something away with me that is profound. God Bless you John for your work, God Bless you Dr. Oz for sharing, may God bless you all for believing…grieving is natural and a part of life, for some of us John made it more of an amazing process.
Ohhhhhhh yeahhhhhh…….What a site! I see a lot of ad hominem attacks here and most by the ontological reductionist materialists (atheists for short). 60% of Americans experience something likened to a paranormal event. Proof of an afterlife is highly personal. There are many people who after experiencing an NDE or ADC insist that they have their proof. For the skeptic, however, there is a need for a consensus in regards to proof that is accepted by science otherwise it gets marginalized and designated a dusty corner in the warehouse of anecdotes and circumstantial evidence. The Amazing Randi’s of the world don’t seem to realize that PSI is a force of nature that often comes unpredictably and doesn’t conform to the confines of a lab or to a designated place or time. Tornadoes and tsunamis often follow this pattern but unlike the personal encounters of those who experience PSI, these natural disasters are felt communally while leaving their calling card behind for scientific scrutiny and therefore lend themselves well to the aforementioned consensus; we all agree that tornadoes and tsunamis are real. This is an acceptable premise but what isn’t acceptable is the assertion that anything that doesn’t comply to scientific measures is automatically deemed unreal and anyone who protests otherwise is a nut case. Too many scientific minded individuals take absence of evidence as evidence of absence and that is highly illogical.
To those who have had PSI experiences, may I suggest that you empower yourselves and refuse to seek an audience with anyone who would humiliate you. How can their approval magnify or make any more manifest your experience? That is between you and God. Let the skeptics quibble amongst themselves as to what you already know as yours is the strength that comes from knowing.
As an addendum to this quip, Uri Gellar and Sylvia Brown are both phonies along with 90% of those who boast the most ridiculous claims regarding PSI (esp. those who claim 100% accuracy). Randi has done a great job in EXPOSING these unscrupulous thieves and my hat’s off to him. But Randi has gone too far in his metaphysical assertion that neither God nor PSI are real. Like the mystic moochers out there, he is similarly dishonest in his representation of the facts but in this case regarding PSI. He totally discredits the circumstantial and anecdotal evidence in favor of cynical conjecture. He will never acknowledge that these experiences cannot be put into a test tube, centrifuged and dissected. As for his OBE experience proving to be inaccurate, there are plenty of those that have proven accurate. What does that mean? Where do we go from here? We live in a causal universe that obeys certain physical laws. The unbelievers will always have the upper hand when it comes to disproving faith and supernatural realities. We are all living in the same causal universe-believer and non-believer alike. It’s easy to make natural claims in a natural universe whereby supernatural things rarely present themselves in any powerful fashion. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t real. My own personal experiences tell me so-like Carl Jung who says, when asked if he believed in God, “I know. I don’t have to believe.” Jung had an NDE with objective experiences later validated. Yeeeeeeeeee…hahhhhhhhhhhh!
I think this guy isn’t a real medium, and I don’t any medium is actually a medium. They think they can talk to the dead and translate what they see from their messages, but in reality, they are completely insane and attention starved.

I always have troubles with sleeping and I dream of people dying all the time. I always thought that I was the one who was talking to myself, snice yesterday. I was talking to my stepmother about it, then she told me that I was always talking to the dead. She said I said weird stuff to her when I was young, so she knew that I was talking to the death, because inside my family, my great grandmother, my grandmother , my father and my bother can hear the death too. But I still don´t really believe it. Do you think that is possible? I m so scared and I don´t want to talk them. Also, I think they are kinda ruining my life. I can´t sleep all the time and I can´t get up to the college in the morning.
Oh, the poor people he is preying on! These people manipulate believers by making them give him the answers! For instance, if John Edward asks someone, “You don’t work with children, do you”? If the person says “YES” or “NO” he is getting the question RIGHT either way!!! Read that question again. Think about it. He can NOT hear the dead. No one can.
If John Edward can get answers to very personal information about the dead ,then whats the harm in believing in him. How can life just stop in a second and just fade away.
Mediumship is real. But just like everything else you have alot of people that jump on the banned wagon and they don’t have the ability. Give false information and say horrible things to people. John Edward is not a fake and before you write negative commons education yourself don’t go by hear say because the media and people love to stir the pot with negativity. The funny thing is most people are skeptic until they really need a medium or receive a reading from a medium. A true medium will not tell you horrible thing or negative thing they will simply communicate the message from your loved ones. The devil as someone says doesn’t have any to do with it. What the devil wants the medium to make people happy and feel better about dealing with a loss loved one. Seriously get out of the box your in. You make me laugh. Believe don’t Believe it doesn’t effect my life but don’t judge what you don’t know. If you want to go to a medium don’t go to the one’s with the neon lights in there windows, ask around to people you know see if they have any referrals. I bet you would be surprised! For god sakes spread positivity people some of you seem so miserable.
I WOULD LIKE FOR MY MOTHER TO GET A READING DONE BECAUSE I THINK THAT SHE THINK THAT SHE FAILED. SO CAN U PLEASE SEND ME A EMAIL ON HOW I COULD SIGN UP FOR A READING
I lost my girlfriend and would like to speak to her. have been to various psychics and mediums and all are bluffing . please give me an appointment
I’m a true believer in John Edward.
I’m a true beliver in John Edward.
I was a total skeptic until I went to long Island to see John. I was with my sisters and he zeroed in on us and mentioned things that he could have had no way of knowing about three family members who had passed. It was exciting. He is real. Not all of them are, but he is. He also had informed the audience not to give him information just yes and no answers, and that is what we did. He did all the talking!
I went to see John last night in San Diego I can tell you he is the real deal!!! I went to the show semi scepical but he was just so correct with all of his readings. There is just no way he could of been so detailed if he was just cold reading. He did not do a reading for my group but I didn’t care because it was just so interesting to wach and listen to what he had to say.When I got to the show I thought I can’t believe I just paid $150- a ticket and I have to sit in the back row. But if I had it to do over you can bet I would’t miss it.
Idiots.
my mom passed away in july of 2011 unexpectedly i was wondering if there was a way to get a reading so i could get some uneasy answers bout her death si seen her the day beforw she passed away than the next day shes gone i need some answers and was wondering if u coild help
My uncle, grandpa and dad all died within a few months between eachother not a day goes by where i dont think of them expecially because i didnt get to say goodbye. Can i please have the link to get an appointment with John Edward
He and other mediums may be getting information spiritually, but they are not from loved ones. The devil and his demons like to get people to “not trust in the Lord.” Angels and devils have been around for a long time can see the past and the future-so they will obviously know if a family member died. I may not hear from my grandmother who passed while I am on earth, but will see her again in the next life. I don’t have to see a psychic to feel better because I know what God has prepared for me. I believe that once your in heaven you don’t come back to earth. If you had that ability, wouldn’t you just talk to your loved one without a medium?????
Where do the dead hang out. Do they wonder or always hang around the people they care about that are alive? Can they travel across country if the people they are connected to are in different places at the same time?
Yes john Edward is the real thing! Those religious fanatics who think he’s working with the devil are crazy. There is an afterlife and we don’t die, just move on to a higher. Existence or plane. Believe!
I totally believe John Edward, he has made me a believer, but I trust only him.
He is the real thing and would love a reading by him, maybe one day since I recently joined his “FIVE” group..I have seen him in Jacksonville Fl. a few times and wish I would have been able to see him this year. You cannot help but to believe wnen u see him connect with the other side, even if it’s not for you, u cry from relief knowing our families are ok and we’ll all be together one day, Believe it or not there is plenty of laughing cause of the funny things that he gets from the other side and how hard they try to connect with u.
Hopefully Dr. Oz will have him on again and I’ll get to see him once more.
Joann, our dear ones that have passed have the ability to communicate with us, the problem is that we are not listening! A medium is a person that has that ability, (no everyone is a real one!) but if they are they can bring peace to the ones left behind…and you will be with grandma in the next life…
I think I been able to see impressions of people who passed they give me pictures. Now that my mom passed to the other side I hear her my dad has heard her. And I received a impression from her. She’s very much with me I’ve seen her walking behind me dressed it the night gown and a white glow. Even my best friend has seen her and looking out for her.
Connecting with the people on the other side is more of an effort on their part. John Edward is very real in my opinion.I am clairvoyant at times. It just seems normal. I have had two such experiences of my own and did not initiate them. Medium contact is possible from being intuitive.
I believe we all possess the ability to become mediums. In today’s society, the majority of people are stressed. They do not let their mind and body relax enough to reach a state of peace, they lose their balance or maybe they never have reached the balance of nature. Therefore, their stress clouds their mind. Then, they are not able to reach the communication level of the unknowns. A few examples are one such is yoga teachers, if and when they do reach a state of peace within their mind and body, they can utilize this to reach further to energy levels and communicate with the unknown. Some people are born at peace,some their gift of unknownings, and etc.., come at an early age or later on in life. So the mind and body have to be a 100% peace in order to reach this state. I will be an example now, One day, when i was in highschool, I was in the computer lab with 6 other kids. I sat alone and observed people alot. I looked at every single one of the kids and guessed what they were going to do in life, what they were thinking. This was what I did continiously. I observerd people and trained my brain in such a way that I can literally read them not just from body language, but their energy. “This one particular kid, I focused my entire energy on, I guessed he was going to go home for lunch like all other times, but this time, this is different. He will go home and kill himself with a gun.” At the time I thought wait a minute I am just guessing its nothing. At lunch time, my energy pulled me in his direction, as I seen him walk out the school doors, walking home for lunch, I followed him. My intentions was to tell him no dont kill yourself, but I stopped in my tracks and froze. The fear of him telling me I am wrong and that if i was, he would tell everyone, and I would be the laughing stock. I just stood there and watched him go home. Later that evening, i was told that he did go home for lunch and he did die, he commited suicide, killed himself with a gun. Everyday is a constant replay in my mind of him walking home. I was so angry and confused, why did I do this, can I really feel people’s energy? Was I correct? Also, after that, I was having these dreams where I would see people, their names, as if I actually was friends with them;later on in reality, I would see and meet those people/places/names/even the same conversation. So I thought I was going crazy and why am I seeing people in reality that I have never met, and before ever meeting them, I dreamt of them, this does not make since. I also believe that science now is just now melting the ice berg slowly to understand what is going on in our brains to possess such notion. I use to write in my journals about what I seen and who and where I was at with these so called dreams. Now since I am ill, this has stopped. My mind and body are stressed to the point where I lost the state of peace, I lost my balance of nature. I am curious though, and I continue to ask questions as to why was I having these. In closing, I do believe that we all can communicate and tell what energy someone has or did have, etc…,. Think about it.
This is very dangerous stuff here.These people are talking to demons not your dead loved ones.It says in the bible we are to stay away from these things which are from Satan.Dr.Oz and John Edwards are headed to hell if they don’t stop and repent.Yes I am A Christian and I believe this is dangerous territory here.So many people want to believe they can talk to the people who they love who have dies and I know it seems so real but it’s not,they are talking to someone alright but it’s not your loved ones.for Gods sake turn away from this sinful ways and find Jesus.He can heal your heart.God bless!
Dangerous, how? Some demon is going to fix you real good by making you believe in souls and God? He’s going to pull a fast one and pump you full of love? How dare he!!! Next thing you know he’ll be sending you a valentine card with a box of chocolates. Watch out!!! Why is it that every good experiential thing that happens to a person is considered evil by Christians and and the hellish experiences are real and they’re a sign you better get with the Christian program? I have had visitations by a lost loved one and they were allowed by God to keep me from ending my own life. Because of those experiences I believe in God, and I am in a theology masters program and I am writing a book of hope for the bereaved. I guess that was the devil’s plan when I connected with my deceased loved one-that I would be blessed with peace of mind and hope and not commit suicide and would end up a less materialistic believer promoting the same hope and love that I felt. Sounds like the devil messed up on this one. After Jesus was accused of having a demon in him, like what you are doing here, Jesus said: “Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.” Matthew 12:25 According to you, when I had that visitation, Satan’s kingdom was divided and battling itself. “Perfect love cast out all fear” 1 John 4:18-STOP LIVING IN FEAR!
PS: I’m not insisting that John Edward is authentic, but if he isn’t, it’s far more likely he’s some cold reader that he’s listening to demons bringing the bereaved comfort and evidence of an afterlife. Like I said before-seems counter-productive for the devil. It’s a silly move in his battle against God and he’d make for a lousy general.
This is a message for all the Christians writing comments. The Romans, Greeks, Egyptians and Jews kept accurate historical records for the period before and after the time of Jesus Christ. Do you know why no records exist about him? The Catholic church wrote about mythical gods of the pegans to describe him. They also forced pegans at the time to join their church and dismissed any belief in their earlier gods. If you want the truth look into it yourself. The only mystery is faith in biblical writing that is full of contradiction.
Dear G. Decaire,
March 9th, 235 statement-Thank you!
My daughter and I live in Eureka, Missouri and went to see john Edwards in Cincinnati a few years ago. I think he is awesome. I am a bit apprehensive about believing and he would have to be specific for me to believe totally but I am very impressed and think He is awesome. He has a great personality and was very entertaining and amazing. I wish I had the money, I would love to speak with him. I am very glad to read the above because my heart wants to believe he is the real deal.
i have talk to the died ,and i dont always feeling it , but is there someone around me
Is it possible for me to speak to John Edwards? Please let me know.
My boyfriend father of my kids had an od last month.. The worst part its that he died n we were fughting:( i have experience weird things like i saw a light in da living room last night at 3 in the am.. I cant accept his death because i feel he needs to talk to me someone plz help me
Elizabeth, if you’re feeling guilty-don’t! You couldn’t have anticipated his death happening as it did and when it did. I hear the desperation in your voice and you’re looking for answers. The 3 AM thing is special-a typical time to have strange experiences and nobody really knows why though Perry Stone thinks he does. I lost the love of my life to suicide and it became my dark night of the soul. You musn’t give up. This has driven me to write a book on this topic. Go to YouTube and look up: “Al Sullivan NDE” and “Eben Alexander” and “Dr. Mary Neal and Dr. Oz”-also look up “Mary Jo Rapini Nightline” These will help you I swear.
If you need more advice I will do the best I can Elizabeth. I know how deep that pain can run-it’s so unique to us all that we feel totally alone but we’re not. There are feelings of pity, regret, self-blame, loss, pain-and it’s all mixed up in one huge emotion that tears you apart. This can work to make you a better person or destroy you. I think we both know which one of these God would choose.
Got a big laugh out of the guy who is convinced John Edwards is real, he paid $150 to sit in the back row of John Edwards, John Edwards was absolutely accurate… however, John Edwards never addressed his group that night. LOL You people are a hoot. There’s always going to be suckers. Just look at Dr Oz! Zero critical thinking skills. Now he has Char on his show… another absolute cold reading kook. Amazing in 2012 we still have new age and religious kooks in the world.
Jo Jo if you have never experienced psychic powers , there would be nothing to compare it to.. I understand why it is unbelievable . I have been in the presence of a psychic and have personal knowledge . It is very real..
There is no defending this idea. Personal experience would change this perspective, and probably nothing less than that. Sometimes even personal experience leaves doubters. It’s ok though because what is true is true, whether we acknowledge it or not.
Last December I had 2 dogs that are very dear to my heart. They both died within 2 weeks of eachother. My question is as they were dieing or put down, I asked my father to come and get them and hold on to them for me until we can be reunited.. Did he? Will they be at my door for me to join them? How can I get an answer to this. I really miss them and would be a little more at peace knowing my dad has them waiting for me. Thank you
I believe the Bible. It is demons they are talking to, pretending to be our loved ones. I think John Edward is great at talking to the dead, but they are not who they say they are. Are loved ones are asleep in Jesus, till judgement day when the dead shall all rise from the graves. Thats what the Bible tells us, and i believe in it and know other. We will see our loved ones again. I myself have had some strange things happen to me. My mom had passed away and i was just sick from grieve. She came to me and talk to me. I have had voices speak to me. Saying my name when know one was around me at all and all was quite. I use to think that was my mom that came to me. But i had a dear friend die suddenly. Contacted a medium, got a reading as she put it for $100. Some stuff was right but some was way off. Anyway since i contacted a medium, i have had strange voices say my name. I dont think i should have done it. I new better. Its a sin to contact the dead. I wont be doing it again.
If you feel that demons are talking to you. please protect yourself and leave this subject alone. This is meant to help people who are open to proper conditions for mediumship and spiritistic phenomena as they occur.
I have been a follower of John Edwards for years, and have been to some of his seminars. While I believe that 95% of the “mediums” are con artists, I absolutely believe that John Edwards is the real deal! I am headed to another seminar in May, always with the hopes of speaking to my special loved ones.
The dead and the living can’t communicate with each other. The dead know nothing until the judgement. Mary, the mother of Jesus, does not communicate with the living. She is dead. Only Jesus has been resurrected.
To Ron: How do you know that? What evidence do you have?
When Satan was cast from heaven he took with him one third of the Angels. The demons that are spoken of here were Angels not all of these demons are bad spirits they were deceived by Satan just like most of you are deceived. Demons can still do good deeds. That’s why they make you feel good. When your dead your dead.
How does a spiritual person say, “when you’re dead, you’re dead”? You are only a corporal body?
