What do you guys think of it?

The only reason I am interested is because when I was little I was never hungry or anything but my mom yelled at me when I did not eat. Soon I began to feel the pangs of hunger and I never ouestioned my mom again. Was I born as a Breathairian or is it just all a bunch of BS and I remebered wrong?

Oh no?


Man 'hasn't eaten' for 68 years

AN Indian man who claims divine inspiration says he has survived 68 years without eating, drinking or relieving himself, baffling doctors who are unable to prove him an imposter.

Prahlad Jani, a 76-year-old whose extraordinary tale has won him a small band of devotees, took a dare and underwent round-the-clock surveillance at a hospital in Ahmedabad, the commercial capital of the western state of Gujarat.

Clad in his trademark red sari, bangles and earrings meant to fashion Hindu goddesses, Jani managed to puzzle the Sterling Hospital's 400 doctors.

Neurologist Sudhir Shah said Jani was under watch for 10 days, with a closed-circuit camera running, and that doctors were convinced he did not break any of his vows, although there was no way of verifying whether Jani has pulled it off for 68 years.

"He has evidence of the formation of urine, which was reabsorbed on his bladder wall. The medical committee does not have any scientific explanation," Shah said.

I don't think that he is a Breatharian, the article says that he was blessed at the age of eight. Seems eating just might be a state of mind after all. Remember that quote from a recent movie trilogy that flopped (in my opinion), "You think that's air you're breathing now?".

NASA To Study Man Who Survives On Liquids And Sunlight

If we didn't need food, why do we have teeth, and bowels, and a stomach, and intestines, and all the other squishy, slippery stuff?


Nice link and good point LordGoofus. Perhaps this could be the next step though, of our evolution. You don't loose the stuff you stop using straight away, and maybe you never will, if that's how we are. I know that people can either juice/water fast for very long periods of time as that man did in the link you gave. But this sun through the eyes thing seems pretty odd to me. Oh well, I personally enjoy a good meal as much as anyone else does.

You can never tell... It seems so easy and comforting to slide into scepticism, as it seems to be our only way of clinging onto this world.

Ouch that hurt... I am not saying its impossible, all I am saying is "show me some proof" With the number people shown to be false... of course I am skeptic. This guy maybe legit but most aren't so on a whole, most of it sounds like people just trying to get their 15 minutes of fame. A wee bit of look at me, look at me syndrome. Again I am not saying this one guy is not blessed or different in some way...

Consdider this, if he is blessed, then are these the only repercussions? Does he lead a contented life or is he out to prove some thing. All I see on this guy is one aspect... where is the rest? What are your sources that are so irrefutable? What makes him so special? God said it, and so it was done?

Either give me more information to base a solid conclusion on or I will discount it as irrelevant until more information is provided whether that prove it to be true or false

Ok no more ranting on from me


Oh no, I've started unecessary conflict. My apologies. Firstly Tusayen, I didn't mean that comment at the end to be an insult in anyway, just a comment about how humans generally tend to work. So no grudge intended.

I am skeptical to, however, I've chosen to take the unlikely party's view on this subject for a change. I probably couldn't prove past the dozen or so news articles that have reported the old man's claim on the Internet. I have no idea as to what his purpose is in this life, if it even to prove anything at all.

The reason why I posted the link in the first place was kinda for fun and about the same in seriousness. Someone said it wasn't possible and so I pointed something out that I found on multiple news sources (which aren't irrefutable), that might have led the possibility to be proven otherwise. I'm not saying it's completely true, and as far as my searching has gone, I cannot find anything beyond that report. Maybe it was squelched, or maybe it was a flop, who knows, not like it matters anyway. I'm just riding on the cloud of "what if"?

Peace.
