A Man Who had no food and Drink for 70 years !!! Unbelievable Story...



Prahlad Jani – A man who is claiming not to have any food or drink since last 70 years is being held in a hospital in Ahmedabad, Gurjarat, where he is being closely monitored by India’s defence research organization, who believe he may have a genuine quality which could help save lives.

Can you imagine a person who is living without any food for last 70 yrs? Think again…

He has now spent more than 7 days without food or water under strict observation and doctors say his body has not yet shown any adverse effects from hunger or dehydration.

This man claims to have left home aged seven and lived as a wandering sadhu or holy man in Rajasthan, is regarded as a ‘breatharian‘ who can live on a ‘spiritual life-force‘ alone. He believes he is sustained by a goddess who pours an ‘elixir’ through a hole in his palate. His claims have been supported by an Indian doctor who specializes in studies of people who claim supernatural abilities, but he has also been dismissed by others as a “village fraud.”

India’s Defence Research Development Organisation, whose scientists develop drone aircraft, intercontinental ballistic missiles and new types of bombs. They believe Mr. Prahlad could teach them to help soldiers survive longer without food, or disaster victims to hang on until help arrives.

If his claims are verified, it will be a breakthrough in medical science,” said Dr. G Ilavazhagan, director of the Defence Institute of Physiology & Allied Sciences.

“We will be able to help save human lives during natural disasters, high altitude, sea journeys and other natural and human extremities. We can educate people about the survival techniques in adverse conditions with little food and water or nothing at all.”

So far, Mr. Prahlad has not eaten or drunk any fluids in six days and similarly has not passed urine or a stool in that time. He remains fit and healthy and shows no sign of lethargy. Doctors will continue observing him for 15 days in which time they would expect to see some muscle wastage, serious dehydration, weight loss,and fatigue followed by organ failure.

Most humans cannot survive without food for 50 days. The longest hunger strike recorded is 74 days...

Hats off to his great spirit...
