68 years without eating, drinking or pooping

Posted 11.25.2003 by Dave
An Indian man who claims divine inspiration says he has survived 68 years without eating, drinking or relieving himself, baffling doctors who are unable to prove him an imposter.

Prahlad Jani, a 76-year-old whose extraordinary tale has won him a small band of devotees, took a dare and underwent round-the-clock surveillance at a hospital in Ahmedabad, the commercial capital of the western state of Gujarat.

Clad in his trademark red sari, bangles and earrings meant to fashion Hindu goddesses, Jani managed to puzzle the Sterling Hospital's 400 doctors.

Neurologist Sudhir Shah said Jani was under watch for 10 days, with a closed-circuit camera running, and that doctors were convinced he did not break any of his vows, although there was no way of verifying whether Jani has pulled it off for 68 years.

"He has evidence of the formation of urine, which was reabsorbed on his bladder wall. The medical committee does not have any scientific explanation," Shah said.

This is not a scientific mystery. Just read anything about fasting. I fast regularly (when I'm not supporting a young one) and the result, at least for me, is no poop. Fasts of ten days are not impossible.

In extreme survival situations, it is possible for a person to go precisely ten days without drinking anything. So that is also not a mystery.

(Interestingly enough, you can only go three or four days without sleep before falling over dead.)

The idea that he did this for 68 years is probably a hoax.

No eating, drinking, or pooping for 68 years. This guy is as full of shit as a Christmas Turkey.

A ten day fast is certainly possible. The body can go without water for about a week, and food for a few months.

68 years, oh please. This is certianly a hoax.

Full of shit, literally. Man, I get weighed down if I don't poop at least once a day.

Healthy, I stuff my turkeys with onions and apples. I haven't gone the shit-stuffing route. Tell me: is it an old family recipe?

This is complete indianshit.

No, this is very real. You can read the incredible scientific report of this case at http://www.amazingabilities.com/amaze5a.html

While you're there, click over to http://www.amazingabilities.com/amaze5c.html to read about Shri Hira Ratan Manek who, as of 2001, had gone 411 days without food or poop. He did drink water to sustain himself. He's from the same town as the other guy, so it's probably not a good idea to open a restaurant in that town. And here I thought Nicole Ritchie had a problem!
At that web site, you can see ACTUAL PHOTOS of a guy levitating. Another Indian, but I think he's from some other town.
You can read about Devraha Baba, who was 250+ years old when he finally died. He was apparently quite the fibber when it came to his age, claiming to be 700 when his family tree showed he wasn't a day over 260. (I assume he got tired of being carded when he went to the liquor store every 50 years or so.) Yes, he was from India. Did you need to ask?
He apparently said in an interview that he credited a life of quiet contemplation and abstention from alcohol for his long life. During the interview, a loud racket came from somewhere in Mr. Baba's house and he told the interviewer, "Think nothing of it. That's just my Dad. He always gets that way when he's drunk."
There are more fascinating stories on that web site, and THEY ARE ALL TRUE!!!! Why would they make them up, I ask you? The simple answer is: They wouldn't.
Read them for yourself and you can be the judge. You, like me, will probably want to book a flight over there ASAP to learn their secrets. Ha ha! I'll stick $100 in the bank tomorrow and by the time I'm ready to retire in 220 years it'll be worth a fortune! Chicks dig the rich guys, and I'm going to be rich!

Sorry, but I'm still going to have to agree and raise the bullshit flag on this one. Humans cannot live that long without having something to eat. You can't believe everything you read on the Internet. Some people go to great lengths just to make things all official-looking and convincing.

Levitation is simply an illusion. All you have to do is stand at the right angle and lift yourself up, balancing on your left heel. For the camera, invisible cables are used to lift the person higher. A crew member wearing the same type of clothing as a member of the previously recorded crowd stands in front of the camera to make it look like he is going that high in front of the crowd.

BCB (and everyone else), I wish you luck in getting rich or achieving any of your other dreams (and I'm not being sarcastic here). But as far as things like these, I won't believe them until I see it for myself, live, in person.

My grandfather hasn't eaten in 39 years. He's a tad bit dead of course, and perhaps worms are eating him, but I'm very sure HE'S not eating.

Monday, November 20, 2006. Memo to self: Never again attempt anything remotely subtle or facetious on this site. Sheesh. Unbelievable.

I think the whole thing is bull too.
I thought if you didn't eat, your body eats itself until well you die.(ex. anorexia)

TSV I don't think it's true that if you don't sleep for three or four days, you'll die. I have insomnia (slow sleeper)as well if I am really stressed I can't sleep at all. The longest I have gone without any sleep was 130 hours(almost 5 1/2 days)Then again maybe my body is used to going without sleep, I have been this way all my life. No wonder my mom doesn't like to talk about when I was a baby.

healthy 1 (1427) -- 11.25.2006

Ghost light. A person can easily go three of four days with out sleeping. Truck drivers do this often, and that is what causes many accidents.

They didn't say if those 68 years were human years. I guess people will do anything to bullshit the public.

You gotta admit though, the urine re-absorbed into the wall of the bladder is pretty cool. I wish I could do that sometimes when I'm on an airplane.
