god, I can't believe some of the things people are willing to accept.

This simply isn't biologically possible.

edited: cbf stirring. As for what I believe, I don't know. Without water seems improbable, though without food I can somewhat believe. I'd be interested to see the outcome of this if it is truly scientific and not tabloid nonsense.

Still, i dont think hes gone 70 years without eating and drinking.


How can you actually believe the words that you are saying? All of the things people have been proven to be able to do through meditation are at least reasonable. It's mostly just being able to control heart rate/blood pressure/state of mind/etc. None of it has ever done anything like allow us to obtain nutrients in ways that we cannot do. How exactly is meditation going to cause us to get nutrition from sunlight? Our body has absolutely no mechanism for turning sunlight into every essential nutrient. This is just blatantly retarded, and basic physics shows us that it's not possible to survive without taking in a certain number of calories.

Do I think that through meditation we can control metabolism and slow down many bodily functions and thus decrease our need for food? Yes, that's possible, but that's completely different than what this man claims to be doing.

The kangaroo rat in Australia does I believe. It goes without drinking a drop of water it's entire life. The trick is that it gets all the water it needs from the leaves it eats.

Also, there was a guy in my home state in India who fasted for 42 something days without food or water but he eventually died. He's one of the local heroes as he was the primary reason we got statehood.

Sunlight is essential for any living being, without it certain nutritients cant be created by a chemical process. Also i didnt say i believe in the story of the man, i just said that it isnt in the reaches of unbelievable things like for instance use the force if you meditate long enough. That being said as i have stated before i dont think he actually did this for 70 years so wheres your reason to get all excited about my post? I will only believe this once i see solid proof for it. So you can chill again ;P

edit: sorry i misread that part about sunlight getting him everything necessary.

The sad thing is that people even need to discuss if this could be possible. What I find more interesting about this guy and cases of "psychics" is what is going on in their head. They are blatantly lying their asses off, and taking active measures to support their lie. I still wonder though if they believe their own bullshit even while they're doing cold reading or eating and drinking (like the guy could have subsisted on a minimal diet, and then convinced himself that he didn't eat for 70 years somehow).

This tbh,

Most likely it's some sort of scam, but you don't have to look down on people who believe otherwise >_>

It was so hard to resist the urge to troll this thread. As far as I'm concerned this doesn't even warrant debate. The truth of this matter is obvious to all but the most stupid.

Doesn't seem so outrageous to me. I've read about breatharians before, there's a lot about the human body that remains a mystery. Did you know we don't know shit?
All that stuff about the lock and key methods of hormones and enzymes may be b.s According to a book called Energy Medicine a scientific approach there i evidence that things like adrenaline, which cause a change in your body in seconds does not use the lock and key method wich counts on probability which takes forever but instead has an energy signature that signals all cells it comes near. Wish i could state study but cant find book. Also Matter is just energy.
Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. E=mc2. So food is just condensed energy. There is electromagnetic energy emerging from the earth at all times, as well as coming from the sun. If you could harness enough of it perhaps our body can use it to make solids such as water, protein etc. Not saying i know for sure, but i do know that we don't know shit. =)

Yeah it's more just fun to think 'what if', even though it's a big big fucking if

Like what if it was possible, imagine the impact it could have. I mean that's how great things happen

I don't believe it's reasonably possible but god damn what if

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Probably a hoax, but I see nothing wrong with scientifically observing him under proper conditions given that he is both willing to be examined and that the Indian government has a legit interest in his supposed powers for future space missions.
Oftentimes these types will refuse to have their claims scientifically tested and then you're just like yeah, whatever.
I also kinda wish news agencies didn't report on such matters until after the claims have been proven / disproven lol... guess they need their readers tho.
