Do you think you could live without eating or drinking? Scientific evidence would say you can't, but this man is apparently challenging all scientific knowledge so far. However, scientists are curious, open-minded people so that's why they are studying this man, who's spent 70 years of his life without food or drink. Can you believe it? If you find it difficult to understand the Inglish (India-English) in this Al-Jazeera video, you can read the basics here.
But as it usually happens, it looks like there's nothing new under the sun:
- What is Inedia? Fasting as a Lifestyle Choice
- How can this be possible ? Here you'll find a religious, a scientific and an esoteric answer.
- And what the skeptics say at The skeptics dictionary
Mmmmh...I don't think I could do without chocolate ... aren't they all out to lunch?

Hello, it would be marvellous living without eating or drinking. We would have more free time, more space at home no kitchen, no toilets... No more problems about water over the world. So much beautiful to be true.
I found the web!
See u
As you well know I met last year Hira Ratan http://solarhealing.com/
who since 1995 has and continues to live only on sun energy and water. He was followed by a 411 day fast by a team of doctors. He said that the doctors could realize of his condition, but society doesn't have interest in this subjet. I've just heard from some people in Girona who are starting to follow his method to do fasting.
In general, I knew all this information, but you cotinue surprising me for the way so simple and complete to spread. You even get to encourage me to continue my English with this kind of readings.
A hug

Too beautiful to be true,Magda, you're right! But looks like they want to use it to send people to the Moon, or for soldiers -war would be cheaper I guess! These Indians are not what they used to, don't you think so ?
Guillermo, you know how important it is to integrate things. Your pinneal gland will probably benefit from your learning English, even if one thing has apparently nothing to do with the other. So apart from not eating I think you should keep on learning English, which is another kind of food that will help you in your way to Bretharianism (and please DO eat something before the exam!)
It's amazing! How can be possible?
Even if he's a holy man, he should need some food and drink to survive.
This is very very weird...I'm not sure what to think...

It is weird, really. How can IT be possible? Ask Guillermo when you see him -he can problably throw some light on the subject. It's something about living on the energy you get from the sun .... but it's raining today so I'd better go to the supermarket -I think I've just run out of prana, Chi, Qi...
I'm so sorry, but I'm too sceptic to believe in this sort of things. It's absolutely impossible! isn't it? I think the enery from de sun can be very important so as to survive, but it's not enough! So, as a conclusion, I mean withouth eating and drinking you can't keep yourself alive, even though a crazy Indian make this statement. (I'm sorry).

Uh-uh...the plot thickens!
In this situation Hamlet would've said: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
He said 'philosophy' because Shakespeare wrote that in the 16th-17th C. Now, he would've said 'science', but the essence is the same.
In any case, we need a true believer to counterattack -or, again, ask Guillermo ;-) I'm going for a coffee.
Well, haven't we come to the world to enjoy, to have pleasure, to discover (including all the differents meals of all over the world), to make love, to improve ourselves but without forgetting that we'll only have one life to live, and all we're not doing during this life (the only real and important possesion we have, our life) will be lost for us and for ever!
Of course mankind can improve their suffering and live without eating, without fucking, without laughing, without talking, swimming, having holidays, visiting the world, enjoying the nature, even without going to the cinema o hearing any music...and so long. So we can live just sitting in a corner and watch life passing by...but is what we want????
Dear mates and teacher... not me!!!!
anna miquel, for sure
My dear Anna, it’s always such a pleasure to read you... but all I want is for you to stop putting an 's' in plural adjectives. I’d be a lot happier, my life would be complete, and I might even do without eating. You see? After all that eating and drinking and love-making …one person’s meat is another person’s poison… funny how life is!
So do you think you can make me happy?
Love
Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Mariona, I will do everything for your complete happines, believe me, I'm trying hard and I'll continue to do it!!!!!
lots of love to you
anna
How incredible it is!!!
I don't think I could manage without eating!! It's too much for me. I mean, live without eating or drinking? where is the pleasure? For me, food is not a necessity it is a pleasure (of course my body will need it) but I like to much to stop. I just thinking in such a delicious meal I have today for lunch!! I don't want look at my family and smell!!
Laia
Well, yes ...though on certain occasions, like today, you don't really need to eat. Congratulations to all Barça supporters!
