compassionatelly” said his mother. “The times of tears when we
were asking ‘Why’ are gone” said forty years old Sharron. The

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.

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.

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.
