The study is over.

During the above observation period Shri Prahlad Jani has not consumed anything and has not passed stool. The only contact with any
form of fluid was during gargling and bathing periodically during the study beginning from 5th day of study.

Mr Jani has also not passed urine from his body during the observation period; however the claim will be scientifically
substantiated after analysis of investigations carried out.

All the reports and results will be scientifically analyzed, subsequently and will take some time. The entire study team will meet
periodically to discuss the findings and draw valid conclusions.

hmm... seems impossible, but then again...

meh, we know from the other thread that most people think its bullshit

this time let's try to gather up and come up with a plausible theory, just for fun, even if you think its ridiculous... i dont have the necessary academical background myself t.t

He must have consumed fluid while gargling and bathing lol...if he really wanted to prove himself, he could have easily forsaken these....

On a different note, this reminds me of this book I read about Houdini, which went really into depth about Arthur Conan Doyle and the spiritualist exposures if anyone knows about those. I'm guessing this is just another case of obviously false claims which will be disproven over time.
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

Plausible theory... ish.... The guy was a major tubby before his 70 years of fasting so his body just fed off the fat like it's suppose to? I know in biology they taught that when you don't eat, your body starts to eat the left over fat basically so that it can starve and slows down the metabolism so maybe that's it?

The people who keep making the argument that "oh ppl thought flying machines were impossible too lol" are missing something. Those instances involved human invention and innovation. Those "impossibilities" didn't just come out of nowhere. They came from advances in technology. None of that occurred here unless you believe this guy escaped from a lab.

So the only possibility left is some evolutionary mutation. However, the chances of a mutation changing the human body so much as to not require food or water for 70 years, while still being a functioning, living human, is so improbable that it's really not worth even considering. The longer this story goes on the less respect I have for Indian "scientists."

So he can fast for fifteen days, which is impressive, but nobody has said that part is impossible.
But why?

Guys, think a little. If he took some water, he had to eventually get "rid" of it (ie:piss)
I hate the post below mine because it feels War3-ish.

the amount of water before and after was measured to make sure he hadn't consumed any. gonna follow this story for a bit more before i jump to any conclusions, but really interested in seeing what the rest of the scientific world has to say on this

This is still fail. There is no conceivable way for a human to not consume food for longer than a month, or water for longer than 3 weeks. No matter how much astrology or mysticism you believe in.

Still, I'm saying he doesn't need them at all. I'm pretty sure if he can take the pain of starving for "70 years" then I'm also sure he wouldn't care too much about his smell either.

You still need water regularly, one week and most people are dead.
This guy could have some insanely slow metabolism but still
I think they just let him have a drink (and pee) at night...
I didn't want to doubt the poor scientists but I can't believe otherwise.

The average person takes well over a month to starve to death.
But why?

I just hope this guy does not kill himself in his attempt to fool these scientists.
When the spirit is not altogether slain, great loss teaches men and women to desire greatly, both for themselves and for others.

lol anyways unless he was bathing naked, his clothes would soak up a lot of the water, can't you verify this with an MRI scan or something, and not bother with this obvious publicity stunt? And I guess I can understand the bathing, but gargling? Really? Why does an isolated hermit suddenly develop a need to gargle?
