I havent verified it yet so i might be a hoax...

Wow.
That can't possibly be real.

 

[Ennui]

If it's real they're complete morons and deserve their inevitable painful death of dehydration if they actually try to practice that 'diet'.

It's real , they even have an institute in america founded by this guy

Wiley Brooks is a purported breatharian, and founder of the "Breatharian Institute of America". He was first introduced to the public in 1980, when he appeared on the TV show That's Incredible!.[15] Wiley has stopped teaching in recent years, so he can "devote 100% of his time on solving the problem as to why he needed to eat some type of food to keep his physical body alive and allow his light body to manifest completely."[16] Wiley Brooks believes that he has found "four major deterrents" which prevented him from living without food: "people pollution", "food pollution", "air pollution" and "electro pollution".[16] In 1983 he was allegedly observed leaving a Santa Cruz 7-Eleven with a Slurpee, hot dog and Twinkies.[17]

Breatharian Plot:

1) Starve yourself
2) Enter full immersion with air
3) Fool the nonbelievers
4) Rise up
5) Eat the flesh of the living

As far as I know, there is nothing on this planet that can live off air alone, certainly not anything complex. In a human, all air does is oxygenate the bloodstream and does nothing to sustain life beyond that. I laughed my ass off when I read the article.

This. I say let them spread their word and hope the stupid die quick.

Deaths

The well-publicized deaths of 49-year-old Australian-born Scotland resident Verity Linn, 31-year-old Munich kindergarten teacher Timo Degen, and 53-year-old Melbourne resident Lani Marcia Roslyn Morris, while attempting to enter the breatharian "diet", have drawn further criticism of the idea.[13][14] Jim Vadim Pesnak, 63, and his wife Eugenia, 60, went to jail for three years on charges of manslaughter for their involvement in the death of Morris. Verity Lynn, the Scottish woman who inadvertently killed herself by choosing the breatharian "diet" was a nominee for the 1999 Darwin Awards. She "took to the highlands", the article says, "with only a tent and her grit and determination." She died of hypothermia and dehydration, aggravated by lack of food. Jasmuheen claimed that her death was brought on by a psycho-spiritual problem, rather than a physiological one.

people scare me sometimes. you can be selfish to survive, its natural. to fight against this is not being human and apparently it kills you

It's real.

Well. At least the woman starving to death. I don't know about the 60 minutes story.

EDIT: Yeah that's real too.

I almost thought I opened another thread that Raziaar started, and I was going to be like "REPOST RAZ"
