How many of you would actually believe the guy if he said I survived for 70 years on sitting instead of meditation? Yeah I addressed this before, even if he's done this for a year but became delusional and imagined it was happening since he was 13 it is still shocking. He definitely was doing it for longer than 2 weeks because he doesn't defecate which is still observed if you dry fast for 14 days. A lot will be established during this experiment, I am curious to see what happens. | ||

Here's a page out of a book written by an actual doctor: Isabelle-A-Moser 56 days with no food, just water. This should already thwart basic human biology. 14 day "dry" fasting is somewhat rare, you can still find many notes and stories about it. I know all of this firsthand from observing my dad and the amazing things that happened to him while he was doing that (he only went for 7-9 days though). For instance, he was able to do a full split after a few fasting experiments and he was not even remotely flexible before. All the deposits in his joints were gone. His appearance changed, he looked years younger. I'll provide a couple of links here, most of my knowledge came from reading books but you can easily find this online too: 10-14 day dry fast 11 day dry fast 14 day dry fast experience Wrap your mind around this, don't ever dismiss things because biology 101 says it's impossible There are numerous fastings for much longer than this. It's interesting to note that forced fastings almost never go well, they lead to sickness torment and death. However, voluntary fastings tend to go quite well. At least comparitively. (My sister had some book all about fasting and notable fastings, it was quite interesting) | ||

That's your own definition of living, nothing added to the discussion here. | ||

Altough the ATP is not reformed completly the ADP and the Phosphate is recycled to a new ATP molecule, but this process requires energy aswell. The net gain in glycolysis is 2 ATP, and the net gain for the citric acid cycle after oxidative phosphorylation is about 28 ATP. For an example the glycolysis requires 2 ATP to yeild 4. If you have no energy you can't make up the ATP needed. | ||
