Indian holy man hasn't eat or drank anything for 70 years

Interesting. Although i'm still rather skeptical. I can see 15 days being a possibility i guess. I remember when David Blaine did that stunt where he sat in a box and didn't eat and drank only water for 40 days.

"This is not the first time that Jani has made this claim. He

was examined in 2003 for about a week, during which time, he apparently

did not

eat or exercise - but he did lose

weight. If Jani's abilities are real, it seems odd that he

would lose

weight during the time that his food intake was being monitored. If he

truly

gets all the sustenance he needs from air and meditation,

there's no reason he would lose weight when he doesn't eat.



Reports claim that Prahlad Jani "has now spent six days

without food or water under strict observation and doctors say his body

has not

yet shown any adverse effects from hunger or dehydration." Assuming the

claim is true - and it's not clear just how strict the observation is -

Jani's

inedia so far remains unproven. If he really doesn't need food or water,

he

should be under close observation for months or years to prove it. Given

that

he claims not to have consumed anything since World War II, this shouldn't be a

problem"

 
stupid indians, only watching him for 2 weeks, Ghandi went 3 weeks in his 70's. Watch the guy for 3 times as long and then find out he's a liar.
 
Missed the point entirely. After 2 weeks no sign of muscle degeneration and he never passed waste. All vital signs were normal and healthy. He was not fasting, he was operating at optimal levels without needing sustenance. That's the big one.
 
look at the guy, he isn't very muscular, there isn't much weight to be lost, if you don't eat or drink you probably dont poop or pee.... If the guys been trying this shtick for 70 years I'm sure he's down to the absolute minimum he needs to survive, and going for a couple weeks isn't going to be very taxing. Until I see uninterrupted video footage of him for 6 months straight not eating or drinking I'll consider him full of a small amount of shit.
 
Would you really sit and watch a video of a frail indian man doing nothing but jamming for 6 months? really?
 
even if he did, in fact, do this, all those scans the doctors did would have revealed it. you cant survive on shit and piss.

i dont think its true but i have no clue how he does it
 
In this post: ignorance of what it takes to survive.
You know that it's physically impossible to go for 3 weeks without dying right? 3-4 days without water? Yeah. This guy went 2 weeks straight with NO water, NO food, and his muscles and organs didn't degenerate a bit. That's the difference. After 4 days without water, a normal human's organs would shut down and he would die regardless of muscle mass and stature. That's the amazing part of this man's claim. He actually DOESN'T need food or water. Not that he's a survivalist and just manages to train himself to do that.
 
not totally sure, but im under the impression that going 3 weeks without dying is very much possible.

but maybe im wrong, maybe i should go see the news teams, i might be a freak of nature, i've already gone almost 875 weeks without dying, new world record?

Seeing as he loses weight when he is isolated and studied, it is evident that he cannot survive without food and water. I have no doubt he is better equipped to survive without food than the average human, however, his claims are complete bullshit.

 
ya but thats david blainelets not forget that hes a street magicianand also didn't he have to like go see a nutritionist or some shit for a while after that?like he def wouldn't have made it much longer and he even had water
 
I was just illustrating that it is possible to survive a long time without food given proper body control and whatnot. However, it is not possible that this guy has survived 70 years, or even 1 year without food or water.
