A man claims to have been to 'heaven' when he went into a coma after taking supplements.

On January 18, 2003, Vincent Tolman fell unconscious after taking the supplements that he and a friend had bought online.

While unconscious, Tolman said that he went into a weird state where he could see himself lying on the ground.

He described how he had been able to look down at himself, and could even see paramedics working on him.

In an account of his experience he said: "My friend and I had taken a dodgy supplement we had bought online, but the moment we consumed it, we knew something was wrong."

Initially, the pair had tried to get something to eat, thinking that this would make them feel better.

Unfortunately, things only got worse, with Tolman describing what happened next.

He wrote: "I collapsed, and the next thing I knew, I was looking down at myself from above. The world felt like it had no ceiling, and I watched, calmly, as paramedics rushed into the bathroom and worked over the body."

Things got even worse when he saw himself being zipped up in a body bag.

"I watched as emergency services tried to resuscitate the man, but shortly after, they stopped and gave up," he wrote.

"They zipped him up in a bright yellow body bag and carried him into the back of an ambulance."

But then he saw that someone realised that he was not yet dead, and managed to resuscitate him.

After being rushed to the hospital, he was placed on life support, where he says that he went on a spiritual journey and came to some realisations about life.

He said: "One of the biggest things I learned is that we've got it all wrong here.

"We've allowed all of our traditions to convince us that all of us are on some kind of trial. But we're not here on some kind of trial. We're here to learn and to grow. That's it, plain and simple."

Of the three lessons he said that he had learned, one was 'authenticity', being authentic and truthful with ourselves.

The second, as we've already touched on, is that life is a not a pass/fail test, we're here to learn and show growth.

And the third and last lesson that he said that he learnt was to learn how to 'embody love', not just for yourself and others, but for the world at large.
