look, if it doesn't hold up to thorough analysis, then it can't be considered as valid.
now, please ignore this comment, and go back to your endless loop of how yada, yada, yada are true believers, yada, yada, yada. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : if you believe the reports of the people who conducted the study, did not eat or drink anything for 15 days! This is the salient point IF YOU BELIEVE the people who conducted the study who would not allow the full video to be viewed nor allow the Indian Rationalist group to take a look - these refusals should give you a clear view that all is not as it seems and that the "science" behind it is bogus.

Sal, who the hell are your trying to convince? Yourself? I don't care if the guy didn't eat or drink for 70 years. It makes me no nevermind. Nor am I trying to convince anyone of the whether this is some grand achievement. All I'm saying is that the dude, if you believe the reports of the people who conducted the study, did not eat or drink anything for 15 days! Okay, that, on the face of it, that defies science. And no one that I'm aware of has come forward to debunk the study. And no one seems to be trying to promote it or make money on it. It is just an anomaly, and that is what interests me. You are the one so anxious to discredit it, but so far the grounds for that are: 1) It's impossible according to medical science as we know it. Yes, impossible. 2) If it were true, then people would be flocking to find out more about it. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <steve.sundur@...> wrote : Impossible! This is the third time I've caught you putting words in my mouth. If you have evidence that a regular intake of food and water is optional I want to hear it. I don't! But evidently you have no explanation for the results of this anomaly other than, "I don't like the results, they are impossible from what we know about science, and the general public has not gone gaga over this" That is called an appeal to authority, and is a weak position on which to dispute something. A weak position other than the fact there is no magical gland in the human body that, when starved, creates a magical nectar that provides all dietary requirements including water for many decades and without any energy input? It's not really an appeal to authority is it? If I drop a plate I expect it to hit the floor, I understand the "authority" that tells me it's the most likely expectation. Gravity is a well observed and understood and predictable law of nature. Saying I'm making an "appeal to authority" implies that you think I don't know what I'm talking about but am just hoping you'll take someone's word for it like you think I do. Metabolism is another thing I feel confident enough to say that you can't go without food or water for 70 years, there is no appeal to authority here either. As I say, it's either a hoax or this guy has a magical gland etc etc...
