Prahlad Jani baffles scientists as he proves he does not eat or drink - ever

HOW DOES HE DO IT?: Prahlad Jani, who says he has survived without food and water for more than seven decades, at Sterling Hospitals in Ahmedabad, India. Source: AFP

AN 83-year-old Indian holy man who says he has spent seven decades without food or water has astounded a team of military doctors who studied him during a two-week observation period.

Prahlad Jani spent a fortnight in a hospital in the western India state of Gujarat under constant surveillance from a team of 30 medics equipped with cameras and closed circuit television.

During the period, he neither ate nor drank and did not go to the toilet.

``We still do not know how he survives,'' neurologist Sudhir Shah told reporters after the end of the experiment.

``It is still a mystery what kind of phenomenon this is.''

The long-haired and bearded yogi was sealed in a hospital in the city of Ahmedabad in a study initiated by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the state defence and military research institute.

The DRDO hopes that the findings, set to be released in greater detail in several months, could help soldiers survive without food and drink, assist astronauts or even save the lives of people trapped in natural disasters.

''(Jani's) only contact with any kind of fluid was during gargling and bathing periodically during the period,'' G. Ilavazahagan, director of India's Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS), said in a statement.

Jani has since returned to his village near Ambaji in northern Gujarat where he will resume his routine of yoga and meditation. He says that he was blessed by a goddess at a young age, which gave him special powers.

During the 15-day observation, which ended on Thursday, the doctors took scans of Jani's organs, brain, and blood vessels, as well as doing tests on his heart, lungs and memory capacity.

``The reports were all in the pre-determined safety range through the observation period,'' Shah told reporters at a press conference last week.

Other results from DNA analysis, molecular biological studies and tests on his hormones, enzymes, energy metabolism and genes will take months to come through.

``If Jani does not derive energy from food and water, he must be doing that from energy sources around him, sunlight being one,'' said Shah.

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

Humans are even stranger than we think, perhaps?

This recent "story" is a recycled "deja vu" hoax reminiscent of the "Breatharian" Cult claims found in books once sold both in stores specializing in the occult, as well as in the book section of "Natural/Organic/Health Food stores back in the 1960's.

These books claimed the following to be fact:

There was here today on Earth a remnant group of people known as "Breatharians", whose origins date back to primordial pre-Vedic times -- human beings much the same as we originally existed back in Earth's "Golden Age".
At that time, all of mankind was blond haired, blue eyed, golden skinned, and lived on the peaks of the highest mountain elevations in places like the Himalayas.  There, they lived a purely spiritual "G-d like" existence with life spans lasting hundreds and thousands of years, requiring for their sustenance only to breathe the air and absorb cosmic rays from the Universe.
Eventually, (as each mythic "Golden Age" story goes), mankind began to devolve.  Each spiritual devolvement was followed by a corresponding physical devolution.  Skin, eyes, and hair darkened and changed colors, and soon mankind began to feel hunger and thirst like other creatures.
Finally, man fully descended from his godly "Mt. Olympus" status down to the lower levels of Earth, where he is found today in our present "fallen" condition.

During the late 1960's a group stepped forward claiming to all be Breatharians, and offered to prove it.
They announced a meeting in a major city and invited journalists to observe them for an entire weekend.
Things went well during all the lectures and "recruitment" pitches, until one afternoon when journalists covering the story caught several of them "red handed" who had sneaked out of their hotel rooms, walked to a convenience store down the street, and were drinking chocolate milk and eating candy bars.

"Disinformation" -- Deliberately misleading "news" or documentation constantly released by governments through media channels for purposes of diverting the public's attention, and/or obfuscating actual ongoing political/diplomatic/economic/military developments.

There's an age old adage which everyone should recall when reading stories like this one --

"If it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true!"

At least he dares to know either the correct or the tricky methods of facing the global socialism.


He does not need any healthcare program, ration to the poor, social welfare, pension plans, scheme against hunger and poverty, nothing...
