Indian Yogi Lives Without Food and Water for Over 70 Years
Prahlad Jani, an 82 year Indian yogi is used to living with empty stomach. He claims that he receives his energy from space. The news is according to a report appearing in the English edition of Pravda.
At first medics thought him to be a swindler, but when they examined him they were of a different opinion. The unique yogi was placed in a hospital for observation. The first results shocked scientists and now they are trying to find out if other people can be taught to live without food and water.

Prahlad Jani says he has been living without food and water for over 70 years. He said that when he was eight he was homeless and lived in a cave near a Hindu temple where he was allegedly visited by an Indian goddess. She felt sorry for the child and bestowed these wonderful capabilities on him. Since then all he needs to survive is a drop or two of magic nectar sent to him by a goddess every day. The nectar penetrates his body through a special channel on the roof of his mouth. Scientists have no comments about it.
The unique yogi has been in complete isolation in the hospital for a week already and he is observed 24/7 with specially installed cameras. He has not been eating or drinking for the entire week. Every day doctors examine him trying to find signs of weakness or dehydration, but to no avail. They found that his brain cells are at the level of a 25-year old person, and his body is strong and young.
The doctors say they are dealing with a biological miracle because within 108 hours in the hospital he has not eaten or drunk and has not used a restroom even once. This raises complex questions . A human being can live without water and food up to 12 days. There were cases when people lived without food for 16 and even 30 days, but they drank water on the 8th day.
For the rest of the story visit Pravda.
First of all this is complete nonsense.
If we suspend reality though, and for the sake of argument accept this story as true,we are left with the question, ” What purpose has this served”?
Clearly he has denied himself of one if the great gifts of life from God. “Food”
Oh well, More beer and pizza for me!!!!!Booya!
Every day he brushes his teeth and gargles. He also bathes. HE is obviously swallowing some water during these times.
