I am a survivor of Spontaneous Human Combustion

Recommended Posts

You might have seen my Unexplained Files documentary on the Science Channel last year. I also had an article made about me on Huffington Post. It was a very harrowing experience, and I think that this is something that needs to be explored more.

 

From my experience some things are certain ;

Enzymes do not denature at high temperatures while they are inside the body. My doctor even agreed with me on this, saying if that were the case then it would not have gone so far as to causing an internal flame which became visible on the outside of my body. The doctor had diagnosed me with ''Partial Spontaneous Combustion'', and told me that I had burnt from the inside out, completely thrawting the common explanation for this phenomenon...

 

I think we can also agree that enzymes are not broken down by a chemical imbalance.

 

Science ignores what challenges the common knowledge, but if we keep that attitude up, we will never learn anything new.

There is an entire documentary about my harrowing experience. It was on the ''Unexplained Files'' and there are also some news articles which mirror my story. As a war veteran I can say this was the most terrifying experience of my life and this has happened to me three times so you cannot say that I was caught on fire from an external source because external sources of fire do not cause burns from the inside out...

 

PM me for more details, I can only give so much info in public...

I didn't see the show, or read the articles.

On the contrary, science routinely challenges common knowledge - see, for example, General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. As a result, we learn an astonishing amount of new things all the time. What science ignores is junk science, and bunk.

External sources of fire may not cause burns from the inside out, but microwaves could (IIRC) because of the mechanism involved in the heating. (Some physicist may come along and correct me on that, however.)

You might not have noticed, but this is a public discussion forum. I find it a supremely odd place to bring up a topic you're not comfortable discussing in public.

Well I can say for certain that enzymes do not stop working at temperatures below the temperature of combustion. This is a ''fact'' taught in many schools and it is simply not true. Also, I was not near a microwave at the time. Microwaves heat the water in the body. I'm sure I would have noticed my entire body heating up, and not simply noticed flames in a local area with no previous sensation of heat.

 

I advise you watch the documentary on my case, which can be found simply by searching my name, and the name of the documentary; ''Unexplained Files''.

"Well I can say for certain that enzymes do not stop working at temperatures below the temperature of combustion"

 

Oh yes they do.

That's why apple sauce doesn't go brown the way that sliced apples do.

Why are you trying to make a claim that anyone will know is not true?

If enzymes stop working at temperatures below the temperature of combustion, then I would like you to explain how come it happened to me, and to other people, as well.

Just because it is improbable, does not mean it is not true.

 

If we are not open-minded then we will never learn anything new.

 

Decades ago, people said that a jumbo jet would be too heavy to fly.

 

 

There was a baby named Rahul, who spontaneously combusted numerous times. If I recall it made the national news at the time, there are still many articles about him.

"If enzymes stop working at temperatures below the temperature of combustion, then I would like you to explain how come it happened to me,"

To be blunt, there is no evidence that it happened to you (I'm allowed to say that because I'm the King of China.)

 

However there is ample evidence of the denaturation of enzymes- not least, every time anyone makes apple sauce.

 

 

"Decades ago, people said that a jumbo jet would be too heavy to fly."

And they were wrong, because they didn't understand science. I think you see yourself on the wrong side of that argument.

 

"If we are not open-minded then we will never learn anything new."

I'm not closed minded- I'm just sensible enough to ask for evidence. You have none.

 

"There was a baby named Rahul, who spontaneously combusted numerous times."
Again, that's a claim, but there's no evidence.

 

"If I recall it made the national news at the time, there are still many articles about him."

Indeed, here are a few

which is headlined "Indian Baby Released After No Signs of Spontaneous Combustion"

 

or

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/rahul-spontaneous-combustion-could-child-2207486

"Doctors rule out 'human combustion' for mystery fire saying it 'could be abuse'"

 

 

And that's what you consider to be evidence in your favour?

Who is to say that science is not advanced enough to fully say SHC is impossible? In another few decades we'll be laughing at current science.

 

There would be no evidence of spontaneous combustion. Your point is poor. It's like saying there's no evidence that a meal was cooked in a microwave. Yes, the result is cooking, but with many foods you can't really tell if something's been cooked with a microwave or boiled, etc.

 

The doctors looked for flammable gasses, but you don't need only flammable gasses for fire. If the baby had an imbalance of enzymes, and these enzymes were suddenly activated by a hormone and this produced lots of heat, then of course it would leave no flammable gasses - the end point would simply be heat.

 

Even if there was suddenly lots of a reactive chemical being produced by these enzymes which could've contributed to the heat when they reacted with the enzymes and other material, fat, etc , these chemicals are broken down once they react, so it'd leave no evidence.

 

Guess what? Thinking a little is good for you.

 

And I know it happened because I know what I experienced and my friend backed me up. You cannot tell me otherwise.

1. Do not open wildly speculative threads in the main fora please. In future read the rules of the Speculations Forum and then open a new thread there if your topic is not mainstream.

 

2. You are only allowed one account - we call having more than one account sock-puppetry and it is against the SF.net rules please see section 2 Posting: part 9. I have closed the later account (Frank_Baker). If you do this again punitive sanctions may follow.

 

3. I have closed this thread as your other account BlueSpike has already opened a very similar one and we prefer to keep subjects in one thread if possible.

 

4. Please read the speculations forums rules as you will be expected to adhere to them

 

Do not respond to this moderation within the thread. report this note if you feel it is necessary.
