Man Lives Without Food or Water for 70 Years

[SifuPhil]

Prahlad Jani has been living without food or water since he was 12 years old, when a goddess he claims he encountered gifted him with this ability.



The 82-year-old Jani checked into an Indian hospital in 2010 to submit to a series of tests by hospital personnel and scientists. For 8 days he was examined and tested while being continuously monitored by 30 video cameras. Jani, who claims he survives by "heavenly nectar" pouring from his palette, did not eat, drink or urinate the entire time.

After the medical trial, Jani returned to his village near Ambaji. Scientists hope the data they have gathered will tell them what makes the Yogi tick, and thus find a miraculous cure that could help anyone survive in difficult circumstances, without any food or water. “If Jani doesn’t get his energy from food and water, he must be getting it from another source in the environment, such as light” said scientist Sudhir Shah.



What do YOU think - sham or the real thing?

:lofl: You have to ask?

 

[SifuPhil]

:lofl: You have to ask?

Well, I thought it would be good form ...

 

[Ozarkgal]

Yeah, and about that ocean front property in Arizona...I'll make you a good deal on it

 

[SifuPhil]

Hmmm ... I'm getting the feeling not too many people are going to be buying this ...

 

[Diwundrin]

Tch, all you mocking cynics! Can't you see that the man's Enlightened!!!???

One ingredient that mind induced nectar of his doesn't have is anti-aging properties. You'd think something that magical could manage to keep the poster boy for Yogiism looking a bit more chipper.
Maybe a few T shots would have him looking more buff......? :lofl:

 

[Ozarkgal]

Someone needs to buy him a double cheeseburger and an order of fries..that'll enlighten him. He'll be saying, screw the nectar.

Oh, and throw some choccy in as Di calls it..

[Ozarkgal]

In no time we could have him fattened up and promote him as the Candy Kid on the Sumo wrestling circuit.

 

[Jillaroo]

Haven't you guys heard of the nectar of the Gods

 

[Diwundrin]

Only from blokes like him, and deluded vino connoisseurs.

 

[Ozarkgal]

Jilly, What's your version of Nectar from the Gods?

 

[Jillaroo]

This link will tell you and he probably had nectar from the flowers too.

Does he move, or is he worked by strings?

The doctors and scientists actually claim that his mental and physical abilities match those of a 25-year-old.

... a 25-year-old WHAT, they don't say ...

 

[Warrigal]

Which doctors, which scientists and which hospital?

Honestly Phil, have you ever watched the series Red Dwarf?
In the episode Psirens we discover that some members of the crew are more easily duped than others.
This story about a man living without food and water for 70 years is on the level of that which is sufficient to fool The Cat.
It doesn't take a lot to take him in. I'm not The Cat.

 

[Vivjen]

I liked the Cat...he was sooooo gullible!

 

[Warrigal]

And so well dressed.

 

[SifuPhil]

Which doctors, which scientists and which hospital?

They didn't say - I guess they didn't want them to be embarrassed.

Honestly Phil, have you ever watched the series Red Dwarf?

Unfortunately, no.

 

[Diwundrin]

You'd appreciate Red Dwarf Phil, anyone who 'gets' Monty Python can handle Red Dwarf. It's one of a kind.

[That Guy]

His is not without "bologna".

 

[GDAD]

Haven't you guys heard of the nectar of the Gods

Yes: It's commonly known as breast milk!!!!:cheers1::cheers1:

 

[Jambi]

I don't want to highjack your thread Phil, but how many posters believe two-thousand years ago an individual was conceived without intercourse to save mankind from eternal fire?
