Nope it's not possible. We need food and water to live in this world.

I'll debate that Chrysaetos...here's a start...

I challenge anyone here to try breatharianism for only a week! No food and no water..
And ask some scientists to keep an eye on you.

Breatharians are fooling the public, many examples here: http://www.rickross.com/groups/breat.html

http://www.skepdic.com/inedia.html

People have died because of this ideology. Even a water fast for too long is damaging to the body, which puts breatharianism out of the question.

Inspiring! Thank you.

Our limits are as real as we believe them to be.

When we learn to influence the unconscious mind,
we can get down to the real spiritual business
of removing blocks in our thinking.

Our doubts keep us imprisoned.

Our faith sets us free.

Why should we believe a story? Because the news (note: they make no conclusions) tells us?

As living creatures on earth we need food and water.
If it's simply a case of mind over matter, why don't you people put it to the test?

I challenge anyone who believes in this breatharianism tripe to put it to practice.
(but do quit when your body tells yo to do, please don't ignore it!)

Chrysaetos: Even a water fast for too long is damaging to the body, which puts breatharianism out of the question.

I remember ...a long long time ago...before the many crashes of SF, that I had brought up about 'extreme fasting' and it is a simple fact what Chrysaetos stated. Our bodies are 80% water. As one who experienced dehydration (and not from fasting - that isn't something that I, someone who is underweight and has CFS would ever think to do) am with Chrysaetos on this. I was fortunate enough that I still had enough 'ability' to drive myself 15 min. to the hospital...but by the time I was laying on the bed I was so out of it that all I knew was that I was in 'a' hospital. I didn't know which one, nor did I remember how I got there. They had to put a 'bag' and a half of fluid in me before I felt better.

I had also experienced dehydration from when I got very ill a year or so ago and vomited and had diarrhea very bad. I dehydrated very quickly and experienced the same weakness and disorientation like I did before. I almost didn't have anyone to come help me as it took me several tries to get my mom (I have no friends whom I could call on or relatives).

So...this unhealthy extreme fasting nonsense...I'm not buying it.
