I don´t eat and drink ... I´m not hungry and thirsty, says strange man from India

Is it possible to live many years totally without eating and drinking? Prahlád Džaní, sádhu, a „holy man“ from Indian federal state Gudžarát claims that he hasn´t got anything to eat or drink since 1940. If it´s true, he hasn´t been eating and drinking for 69 years.

Prahlád Džaní

Nothing and even a drop of water hasn’t he swallowed during 10 days staying in the hospital in Ahmédábád, where he was permanently observed by doctors and security cameras. During these 10 days his body didn’t produce a gram of dejection and even a drop of urine which may sign that he was eating and drinking in secrecy.

Inpossible man

He meets liquid only in bath and gargling. But the same size of water he takes he spits out. Thirty doctors which look after Džani can´t explain how it is possible that he hasn´t been eating and drinking for many years and his organism is still all right. Information that the 83- year-old Hindu hasn’t eaten since his 13 they don’t take very seriously. 

“It is a big secret for us. We absolutely don´t know how he can survive.” said neurologist Sudhír Šáh. Doctors from India are now divided in two parts. First part agrees with Džaní´s and says that it´s a revolution in medicine. Second part says that it´s one big fake.

Similar cases have been known from other parts of the World, mostly from south and Southeast Asia.
