Hey this is going to be a duplicate post in the off topic forums but I am posting it here because I love you guys that much more.
Hi guys this is going to be the first installment of hopefully more to come of Immortal Technique's Something to Think About
Meet Prahlad Jani. His early life according to wikipedia
"At the age of 11, Jani underwent a religious experience and became a follower of the Hindu goddess Amba.
From that time, he had chosen to dress as a female devotee of Amba, wearing a red sari-like garment, jewellery and crimson flowers in his shoulder-length hair.
[2] Jani is commonly known as Mataji ("[a manifestation of] The Great Mother"). Jani believes that the goddess provides him a liquid sustenance[2] or water, which drops down through a hole in his palate, allowing him to live without food or water.[1]"
Luckily for inquiring minds Jani albeit reluctantly. He participated in one study in 2003 and another in 2010
the 2003 study was apparently less extensive but here is the analysis
"In 2003, Sudhir Shah and other physicians at Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad, India observed Jani for ten days.
He stayed in a sealed room and was given only 100 milliliters of water to use as mouthwash each day.
Doctors say that he passed no urine or stool during the observation, but that urine appeared to form in the bladder.
[1] A hospital spokesperson said that Jani was physically normal, but noted that a hole in the palate was an abnormal condition.
[1] The fact that Jani's weight dropped slightly during the 10 days has cast some doubt on his claim to go indefinitely without food.[8]"
At this point if Jani is faking his claims his endurance is quite remarkable, it is one thing not to eat and potentially not drink for 10 days,
but to not go to the washroom!? I'm not sure I could fake that if you were offering me 10 million dollars to do so. Also the hole in his pallat is interesting
because that is how he said the Godess sustained him through a liquid that dropped down a hole in his pallat
Lets take a look at 2010 its a bit longer so i'll just quote parts of it
"From 22 April until 6 May 2010, Prahlad Jani was again observed and tested by Sudhir Shah and a team of 35 researchers from the Indian Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS), as well as other organizations.[9][10]
The tests were again conducted at Sterling Hospitals.[12] Professor Anil Gupta of SRISTI,[13] involved in monitoring the tests, described the team as being "intrigued" by Jani's kriyas apparently allowing him to control his body's physiological functions.[14]
The team studied Jani with daily clinical examinations, blood tests, and scans.
Round-the-clock surveillance was reportedly followed using multiple CCTV cameras and personal observation.
The researchers say that Jani was taken out of the sealed room for tests and exposure to sun under continuous video recording.
[15] According to the researchers, Jani's only contact with any form of fluid was said to be during gargling and occasional bathing starting from the 5th day of observation, and the toilet in Jani's room was sealed to test his claim that he did not need to urinate or defecate.[2]
After fifteen days of observation during which he reportedly did not eat, drink or go to the toilet, all medical tests on Jani were reported as normal[15] and researchers described him as being in better health than someone half his age.
[2] The doctors reported that although the amount of liquid in Jani's bladder fluctuated and that Jani appeared "able to generate urine in his bladder",[14] he did not pass urine.
Based on Jani's reported levels of leptin and ghrelin, two appetite-related hormones, DRDO researchers posited that Jani may be demonstrating an extreme form of adaptation to starvation and water restriction.[16]"
In an update, DIPAS has stated that further studies are being conducted to get answers to questions such as how metabolic waste material is eliminated from his body, from where he gets his energy for sustenance, and how he maintains his hydration status.[17]
Well it appears Jani doesn't mind going 2 weeks at least without food, remarkable but still possible. Alright two weeks without going to the washroom, i'm not a doctor but i'm pretty sure your body is supposed to die from the build up of toxins at that point
Alright after that hes going to go through physical tests and score with the health of a 30 year old man...rrrright. Well lets chalk this one up as at least weird boys and girls.
For some criticisms take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prahlad_Jani
Remember guys this isn't necessarily proof but IT IS something to think about.
