Man survived seven decades wih no food or water

[mrsruffallo]

Seems genuine here
I have often wondred just how little we could actually live on.

I spot a problem:

"(Jani's) only contact with any kind of fluid was during gargling and bathing periodically during the period,"

I could survive 2 weeks without food and some 'gargling'.

I am sure we don't need all the food we eat, but equally I would take the claim that he has had nothing for 7 decades with a veyr lareg pinch of salt (something else we can also not live without...)

I don't believe it, sorry.

Also if I was bathing and gargling whilst being monitored my mouth would be under that bath water quite frequently. In fact I would probably say I needed to bathe in asses milk like Cleopatra (better still hot chocolate milk )

There's another one here
Slightly more indulgent but the same kind of thing

Ha

If they'd observed him for 6 months I might have been ratehr more impressed.

Am a bit that these professional medica army defence people are so creduous.

""As medical practitioners we cannot shut our eyes to possibilities, to a source of energy other than calories."

Hmm yes but 2 weeks aint exactly staggering is it...

If he was absoring light energy he would have to be photosynthesising like a plant.

Lots of Yogis can survive significant periods of time without food or water. For a supposed scientist to say that he's absorbing energy from other sources after observing him for 2 weeks is absolutely outragous.

It is best to ignore nonsense like this I feel.

These stories are circulated by pseudoscientific fabricators who are out for their fifteen minutes of fame and perhaps a little fortune, knowing full well that there is a massive audience of believers out there who are determined to cling on to their ideas of "magic", whether that be "breatharianism" such as this, aliens, contact with the dead (surely the most cruel of hoaxes), and the most obscene quackery of course within the many very expensive and worthless "complimentary medicines" pedalled to desperate cancer patients.

There's a sucker born every day, and this fake yogi bloke knows it. I am sure he's not averse to the odd sneaky korma.

Breatharnism- you would save a lot of money though
