Interesting. Although i'm still rather skeptical. I can see 15 days being a possibility i guess. I remember when David Blaine did that stunt where he sat in a box and didn't eat and drank only water for 40 days.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20100511/sc_livescience/indianmysticclaimsnottoeatfor70years


"This is not the first time that Jani has made this claim. He was examined in 2003 for about a week, during which time, he apparently did not eat or exercise - but he did lose weight. If Jani's abilities are real, it seems odd that he would lose weight during the time that his food intake was being monitored. If he truly gets all the sustenance he needs from air and meditation, there's no reason he would lose weight when he doesn't eat.

Reports claim that Prahlad Jani "has now spent six days without food or water under strict observation and doctors say his body has not yet shown any adverse effects from hunger or dehydration." Assuming the claim is true - and it's not clear just how strict the observation is - Jani's inedia so far remains unproven. If he really doesn't need food or water, he should be under close observation for months or years to prove it. Given that he claims not to have consumed anything since World War II, this shouldn't be a problem"

stupid indians, only watching him for 2 weeks, Ghandi went 3 weeks in his 70's. Watch the guy for 3 times as long and then find out he's a liar.

Missed the point entirely. After 2 weeks no sign of muscle degeneration and he never passed waste. All vital signs were normal and healthy. He was not fasting, he was operating at optimal levels without needing sustenance. That's the big one.

look at the guy, he isn't very muscular, there isn't much weight to be lost, if you don't eat or drink you probably dont poop or pee.... If the guys been trying this shtick for 70 years I'm sure he's down to the absolute minimum he needs to survive, and going for a couple weeks isn't going to be very taxing. Until I see uninterrupted video footage of him for 6 months straight not eating or drinking I'll consider him full of a small amount of shit.

Absolute bullshit. Maybe he can go 2 weeks, but there's no shot in hell he has gone 1 year, let alone 70

In this post: ignorance of what it takes to survive.

You know that it's physically impossible to go for 3 weeks without dying right? 3-4 days without water? Yeah. This guy went 2 weeks straight with NO water, NO food, and his muscles and organs didn't degenerate a bit. That's the difference. After 4 days without water, a normal human's organs would shut down and he would die regardless of muscle mass and stature. That's the amazing part of this man's claim. He actually DOESN'T need food or water. Not that he's a survivalist and just manages to train himself to do that.

not totally sure, but im under the impression that going 3 weeks without dying is very much possible.

but maybe im wrong, maybe i should go see the news teams, i might be a freak of nature, i've already gone almost 875 weeks without dying, new world record?

well at least you labeled your post correctly

here are some links,
http://www.survivaltopics.com/survival/how-long-can-you-live-without-food/
http://www.survivaltopics.com/survival/how-long-can-you-survive-without-water/

and the important parts for the lazy,
most doctors say 4-6 weeks without food
obese people can go over a year without food
10 days without water just hanging out at 70 degrees

so yea, 2 weeks aint shit covered fuck stick sucking

Seeing as he loses weight when he is isolated and studied, it is evident that he cannot survive without food and water. I have no doubt he is better equipped to survive without food than the average human, however, his claims are complete bullshit.

I was just illustrating that it is possible to survive a long time without food given proper body control and whatnot. However, it is not possible that this guy has survived 70 years, or even 1 year without food or water.
