Human beings autotrophs? Live without eating or drinking?

Do you know what it means to be autotrophic ? It means that an organism is capable of producing its own food from inorganic substances.Plants, for example, use carbon dioxide from the sun to produce nutrients, which also take advantage of soil and water.

The heterotrophs , on the contrary, are the beings that feed on organic substances produced by others, like the rest of the living beings, including us.

Therefore, autotrophic nutrition...

...is the ability of some organisms to synthesize the essential elements for their metabolism from inorganic substances, so that in order to stay they do not need other living beings .It is very good in plants or in some bacteria, but is it possible that humans get to that? Is it possible that we can live without water or food?

Some notable cases of breathing?

Science tells us that it is literally impossible to live without drinking or eat anything.We need the nutrients found in other living things, such as vegetables and animals.Human beings are said to be omnivorous , that is, they eat everything.

But, according to some information and news, there are people who don't eat; We will tell you about the 3 most famous cases of people who say they do not eat or drink anything at all...and they are still alive, and they behave like anyone else, they are active and seem to enjoy life even more.They feed only on air.know these cases?

Victor Truviano

This young Argentine says he can live without eating for at least 9 years, and a little less without drinking water.He has been interviewed numerous times, works, does modern dance and lives the “here and now” without caring about anything they say or think about him.

They call him “being pranic”, that is, he lives del prana (according to yoga and ayurveda, it is the universal energy, the vital breath).This situation was not sought by him, but rather was the product of tendinitis, since Victor is a violinist.He was told about an event where fasting was practiced for 21 days that would serve for his illness.

After those 21 days, the sim I just stopped eating, he wasn't hungry anymore.We leave you a video for you to decide.

Prahlad Jani

86 years old, This Indian ascetic has not eaten food for 75 years.He is also known as Mataji , which means mother , because in his youth he dressed as a woman to worship the Hindu goddess Amba .

As he explains, he left his house at 7 years old looking for his spiritual development and at 11, the goddess Amba rewarded him and blessed him, giving him “a sustenance of nectar that seeps through a hole in your palate, removing the need to urinate and defecate.”In his words,“ I have the elixir of life in the palate hole, which allows me to live without food or water.”

In 2003 and 2008, Prahlad Jani participated in scientific research led by Dr. Sudhir Shah , a neurologist at Sterling Hospital in Ahmedabad, India, and president of the Paracientific and Religious Association of Physicians of the same country.The doctor professes the same religion as the ascetic.

The results were never released, but the doctor said that in fact Prahlad Jani could live on the air and that it was not a fraud.Actually it is not known with certainty, from the scientific point of view, if in Truthfully, this man doesn't feed you.We leave you another video.

Zinaida Baranova

This 70-year-old Russian woman stopped eating in 2000, and She confesses that her path has been very slow.First she stopped eating any kind of meat, then she became vegan (only vegetables, no eggs or dairy) and ate what she herself grew in her garden.She finally got to eat nothing.

It gun certain Russian news, scientists of the Institute Bauman examined her and her surprise was very great to see that the biological age of this septuagenarian was of a girl of just over 20 years.

In this video (in Russian with English subtitles) ) she speaks.

Very dangerous practice

While the number of adherents of breathing is increasing, there have been some deaths of followers They decided to stop eating on their own.

In 2013, it was learned of a 50-year-old Swiss woman who died following the postulates of Prahlad Jani.Similar cases were recorded in Germany, Great Brittany and France.

Those who practice feeding on light repeatedly say that only through a higher state of consciousness is this possible , where the act of eating no longer has importance.

In Moscow, for example, there is a movement important autotrophs that meets in the Konstantin Vasiliev Museum , which share experiences and advice.

True or false, there are people who affirm the possibility of evolved human beings living only from their breathing.

Since science there is no independent verification for these facts, but the most skeptical strongly deny that people can live without eating or drinking.

Will there really be mystery, or will it be nothing more than a fraud? What do you think?

We leave you a documentary called Living from the light , made by the Austrian filmmaker PAStraubinger , about this phenomenon.We must say that it is a documentary that is in favor of breathing, and that there are criticisms that allude to a certain lack of rigor .Fortunately it has Spanish subtitles.

If you are interested in the mystery, read our article about the possibility of two people sounding the same dream.

Why are there so many jellyfish? And why is it bad that there are so many?

Human intervention in all Earth's ecosystems does not always entail the extinction of species, sometimes it has the opposite effect, the multiplication and expansion of a particular species, generally at the expense of others.

Frida Kahlo's Eyebrows | A symbol of its particular beauty

In the first self-portrait that Frida Kahlo made with 19 years already showed how important it was for her to transgress the typical image of the woman of the time, building an image and a look that no one has ever been able to copy, an immortal style. For the artist, her image was another form of expression, and that's why Frida Kahlo's eyebrows have remained in the collective memory as the living representation of her voice, her words, her cries in each painting, in each poem and in each image.All this shows us that, despite the beauty canons inherent in each time, these are absurd, and both the mustache and the uniceja can be incredibly magnetic.
