Breatharianism is the idea that humans can live without food or drink, living solely on 'prana' (a spiritual energy), or other non-food/drink sources of nourishment, such as sunlight, spiritual 'light', air, etc.
The number of people believing this is possible seems to be growing. This worries me, as I think it is a very dangerous idea. There have been a number of cases where people have starved themselves to death while trying to go breatharian. The growing support of breatharianism around the world means more people, who may have previously be sceptical, may start to believe and even try to practise it.
In this blog, I want to look into the science of breatharianism - how it would manifest in the human body if it were possible. By doing this, I suggest real breatharianism would be easy to check for by any doctor, via a simple, non-intrusive physical examination.
I also want to expose some of the lies and inconsistencies told by public, self-proclaimed breatharians.
Each post will look at a different issue around breatharianism.
