My girlfriend tried to live soley on the suns ray and water for a little bit - I think its stupid.
She lasted 4 days before getting severe headaches, blurred vision, physical weakness, mood swings, sleepiness etc.
Not a great idea i dont think.
And the reason she tried was due to some monk guy called "Baba-Ji" or osmething who apparently is now 170 years old or something and hasnt eaten for over 100 years or some crazy nonsense.
... Apparently.
Photosynthesis is not possible by a human being. Scientists have been researching and experimenting with this for decades, in an attempt to wipe out famine.
these guys just dont decide not to eat anymore straight away. they work themselves into it, little by little...
they start out by doing it for 10 secs each day and then 10 more seconds each day, and its not until they get to a period of about 45 mins do they not feel the need for food anymore. it takes about 9 months to do this apparently.
i think its pretty stupid to think that ones body could handle a sudden change like that too...
ANY sudden change like that to ones physiology would f*ck anybody up, standard issue information really. common sense.
i believe these guy are for real. theres a crap load of information out there on it and thousands of people doing it too.
its not about photosynthesis. obviously we dont have leaves nshit to photosynthesise the suns rays. its about energy. food in its purest most basic form is energy.
can you see the air? who do you know its real then? because scientists have told us so. scienetists have also proven that these guys live on nothing but liquid and the suns energy. theres documentaries on the subject.
water = energy
oxygen = energy
food = energy
light = energy
WE are energy, everything is energy. if you crack an atom in half what happens? BANG!! and it doesnt matter what type of atom it is. inside every one of them is energy.
its all the same stuff, just in different form. the human body is an amazing piece of equipment and will do just about anything that your mind will BELIEVE that it will do.
the 4 minute mile was IMPOSSIBLE too once. now because peoples beliefs have been changed (by the one man that broke that record) everybodies breaking that record. a child could do it...
if someone told you 30 years ago that you could cook some food in a little box with nothing but waves of energy (that you cant see) in minutes, would you have believed them? (im talking about a microwave here in case you didnt pick up on it)
probably not.

im not trying to change anybodies beliefs but i dont appreciate it when others tell me mine are stupid.
