Breatharianism: People Who Claim Not To Eat

Postby Masato » Tue Mar 29, 2016 11:44 am

Hey all, what do you make of this?

Sometimes my inner instincts tell me this makes perfect sense, but then of course my fear and rationale prevent me from really wanting to try, lol

I do know someone however who has been 100% vegan for many years and is convinced that food is not about the food itself but about the PRANA within it. He has this sprout-maker and he says they are filled with prana and can sustain you easy if you are healthy.

Others say you can get this prana nourishment from sun gazing.

Anyway, here is an article that re-sparked my curiosity in the matter:

Breathariansim refers to the practice of sustaining oneself without the need for food. This concept is not new; in fact, for thousands of years, various cultures around the world have written of this ability. In the third book of the Yoga Sutras, for example, approximately twenty-five siddhis are listed as having extraordinary abilities. This is a common theme throughout Buddhism, and various other spiritual traditions as well. Clairvoyance, psychokinesis, and many more are all special traits attributed to the siddhis, as is the liberation from hunger and thirst.

Though modern day science has seen evidence of extended human capacities like telepathy, remote viewing, and pre-cognition, very little work has gone into examining breatharianism. Some brilliant minds do believe it’s possible, however, including Nikola Tesla. In 1901, he made the following argument:

"My idea is that the development of life must lead to forms of existence that will be possible without nourishment and which will not be shackled by consequent limitations. Why should a living being not be able to obtain all the energy it needs for the performance of its life functions from the environment, instead of through consumption of food, and transforming, by a complicated process, the energy of chemical combinations into life-sustaining energy?"
http://www.tfcbooks.com/tesla/1901-02-09.htm

Liberation from food and hunger does indeed sound unrealistic and, from what we know of modern day biology, impossible. But the history of science has shown us many times that the impossible can become the possible in an instant. A great example of this is the recent discovery that humans can actually influence their autonomic immune system using the power of the mind.

Let’s take a look at what happened when people who claimed that they don’t eat were examined by science.


Breatharianism

Breathariansim the Qigong practice of Bigu, and Qigong practices examined by science have yielded some extraordinary results. A study published in the American Journal of Chinese Medicine, as seen in the the US National Library of Medicine, demonstrated that a women with special abilities was and is able to accelerate the germination of specific seeds for the purposes of developing a more robust seed stock. This is one example of many; you can find the study and read more about it here.

The Catholic Charism of India also involves the claim of living well without eating food. Dean Radin, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, explains the concept in his book Supernormal: Science, Yoga, and the Evidence for Extraordinary Psychic Abilities

This flies in the face of a substantial body of medical knowledge, which has established that the human body can last about five days without water, and a few weeks at most without food. Beyond that, you’re dead. As a result, despite a host of historical examples of people lasting for years without eating, and sometimes without drinking, most nutritionists and biochemists regard such claims to be ridiculously impossible, and the people who make the claims—currently dozens to hundreds worldwide—to be seriously delusional. Some of those claimants may well be delusional. But all of them?

Prahlad Jani

Prahlad Jani is a local of Ahmedabad, India, who claims that at the age of 11, the Hindu goddess Amba appeared to him and told him that he would no longer have to eat food. He has apparently lived in a cave since the 1970s, and claims not to have eaten anything for most of his 81 years (as of 2012).

Jani was tested in 2003 and in 2010 at Ahmedabad’s Sterling Hospital by Dr. Sudhir Shah and his large team of doctors. Dr. Shah is a consultant neurologist who has been practicing for 20 years, as well as a professor and department head of neurology at KM School of PG Medicine and Research.

During the first test, which took place in 2003, Jani was monitored 24/7 by hospital staff and video cameras, where it was confirmed that Jani neither ate nor drank. He also did not show any physiological changes which, according to modern day medicine, should be impossible. This test took place over a 10 day period. Although it might not seem like a significant amount of time, to go 10 days without food and water and not experience any physiological changes is actually quite astounding.

He was tested again at Sterling Hospital in 2010 from April 22nd to May 6th. This time, he was observed by thirty-five researchers from the Indian Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences, among other organizations. This time, Jani was observed to not eat or drink for two weeks. As with the previous test, he exhibited no deleterious effects from this abstention.

This truly is unbelievable, and goes against everything we know about both human physiology and the nutritional requirements of the body.

As one might expect, neither these tests nor their results were published in medical journals. The studies have also generated a lot of criticism. The main arguments against these tests were, however, quite weak in my opinion. One argument holds that Jani escaped the scrutiny of the hospital staff and video cameras with the assistance of his disciples, and that he did in fact eat/drink something. Yet hospital staff maintains this is impossible because he was monitored around the clock, as per the requirements of the study.

Even with these criticisms, the evidence is solid and appears to correspond with a known siddhi.

A statement from a scientific group (which included the Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences) given to ABC News back in 2012 reads as follows:

We realized that, if this whole phenomenon really exists in a human being even for 15 days, it would have immense application in unraveling secrets of medical science and its application for human welfare.

Instead of ignoring this case, we selected to investigate further, in a rational and scientific way. We again make it clear that the purpose of this study was not to prove or disprove a person, but to explore a possibility in science and study a new phenomenon.

It’s an interesting case, isn’t it?

THere is an indian skeptik that goes around and debunks all these guys.

I personally am very skeptical, as most of it seems to be stage illusions set p to acquire fame, wich leads to great status and a powerful following. (money)

However I havent worked this last guy Jani out!!

There is a documentary about him http://www.lightdocumentary.com/prahlad-jani.html , where they show the tests etc. Maybe not the most humaen but fire him in a white room with nothing. Remote access cameras and no possible way to miss direct and perform an illusion.

There was a hindu woman who lived in a cupboard for like 20 years , worked out there was one brick lose below her seat , this is where her food was passed and where she peed and shat for 20 years. Worked out her "Masters" where using her , and she was mentally ill , to gain tourists to there village and money !

This guy has some amazing breathing techniques . Is it the start of a journey to NO food !

Fuck, Sammy hagar looking rough

I'm not sure that bypassing our biological processes to exist can work. The eating of food isn't just about transferance of energy. Our bodies are composed of billions of other living organisms that facilitate our existence and denying them nutrients always ends badly
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.

I support Breatharianism all the way.

I mean, what an ingenious way of thinning the herd!

Hahaha great way to thin the heard. I am sure a bretharian will enter the famous Darwin awards at some point :) Death by false belief that he could survive on sun light alone. . Haha

It's gotta be bullshit.

These fuckers are sneaking a cookie here, a banana there, when no one is looking. The human body can survive for 3 weeks with no food, but it can only survive for 3 days without water. These guys are drinking water all the time, and eating often enough to survive.

Fruitarians are bad enough, they only eat the fruit that has dropped from a tree because picking fruit is harmful to it. They are all really weedy and sickly looking.
