(Much very interesting info re: fasting)

I have been very curious about breatharianism for several years, having
heard that people didn't eat 40,000 years ago (per Vedic Scriptures)
(Paraphrased statement: "Things are getting worse now, because people
are beginning to eat") I have from time to time searched the web and
only found references to a woman named Jasmuheen. I mentioned this to my
Chiropractor and he immediately responded that he had a patient who
hadn't eaten for TWO years. He said the fellow started eating again
because he was beginning to feel a little too "ethereal". He offered to
introduce us, but I haven't managed it yet.

Also, I knew a fellow twenty years ago who never ate more than part of a
sandwich or so once a week or so for two months. He looked a little
gray, but otherwise had plenty of energy as always. The reason he quit
eating was he was tired of food! He worked in a restaurant, and a rather
bad one at that, and I would have quit eating too if I'd worked there,
judging by the smell...

The one thing that I know of that makes me believe that this all might
be possible is that if you seal a seed in a test tube with some water
and give it sunlight, as the seed germinates it will grow and the sealed
test tube will INCREASE in weight.
