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.

What was its origin? What had caused such a hole in the middle of that cold and desolate area ? The news then began to spread through the media around the world, awakening all kinds of theories, from those based on a possible extraterrestrial origin, to those of those who thought, calmly and serenely, that it was best to descend inside the crater and initiate the relevant investigations.

Does poverty and inequality shorten life?

When talking about causes or factors that affect the longevity or quality of life of the world population, poverty and inequality are rarely mentioned, aspects that cannot be ignored among the most important obstacles for human beings can realize their full potential, but this could be changing. Poverty and inequality shorten life? A gigantic study in which 1.7 million people were evaluated and more than 30 researchers from universities such as Columbia, Harvard, King's College and Imperial College, both of London, confirmed something that seems obvious, but it is not, and that poverty and inequality are a factor as harmful to health and life expectancy as obesity, alcohol and hypertension. The study, published in The Lancet , notes: «the low socioeconomic level is one of the strongest indicators of morbidity and morbidity premature health worldwide.However, global health strategies do not consider poor socio-economic circumstances as modifiable risk factors ».

Here we go! 6 facts about Einstein that you surely do not know 1.Its authorship on the theory of relativity was debated The theory of relativity was full of accusations of plagiarism by German scientist David Hilbert and his supporters, because Hilbert claimed that it was he who had first discovered the theory and that Einstein had taken all the credit .In his defense, Einstein I affirm that it was Hilbert who had copied some of his documents. At the beginning it was thought that every scientist had discovered the theory by his side, but that was until it was discovered that, in fact, Hilbert had stolen some documents of Einstein without giving him any credit. Einstein published his discovery before Hilbert, who originally submitted some documents...

Will there be a Mega Tsunami in Hawaii?

The possibility of a mega tsunami in Hawaii does not seem to be pulled by the hair, if we consider that most of these catastrophes occur precisely in the Pacific Ocean, and that in the last 12 years we have had at least 3 big tsunamis : the one from Malaysia in 2004, the one from Chile in 2010 and the one from Japan in 2011. Will there be a Mega Tsunami in Hawaii? If you are a reader from Science Daily Online and you live in Hawaii do not panic, apparently the possibility that a mega tsunami hits the Hawaiian archipelago in the next 50 years is only 3%, and this information is derived from a study of 5 years by researchers at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM), which began just shortly after the 9.0 earthquake that shook Japan in 2011, and was followed by an even more devastating tsunami. The Investi gators evaluated the behavior of the different plates and tectonic faults that cause earthquakes and tsunamis in the Pacific, as well as the behavior of some large tsunami...

The town where women chose to be single mothers

The fact that a woman chooses to be single mother , today, is no longer news in most of our countries.Particularly, what makes this story special and we want to include it in our space for Science Daily Online, is that most of the women of a locality in Vietnam called Loi, chose to be single mothers more than 30 years ago. In what way? Asking for a "xin with", that is, asking a man for a timely "exchange" without further obligation, with which to father a child and be able to raise him alone , thus covering the desire to be a mother (if one wishes) without having to marry, and without this also being frowned upon.The history that originated this practice has its roots during the Vietnam War, hence numerous anthropologists have approached this little corner of Southeast Asia to understand it a little better. We explain it to you. The choice of Loi women We will start by putting ourselves in context.The Vietnam War was a very long and sad conflict wi...

And you? Procrastines too? If you don't, we are sure that you know someone who does it continuously and that, surely, makes you despair.But what does this disturbing word really mean? Let's give an example: you have been dating a person for a long time, you make plans for the future, you have many illusions and projects, however, your partner never seems to decide.He is unable to formalize your relationship because something like that, not only overwhelms him, but even He is lazy. "Are we not well like that?" I often reproach you. Let's give another example: you may have the classic friend who never seems to finish his studies.It is easy to be an "eternal" university student who faces the responsibilities and anxieties of the working world. And what about people who spend all their time in front of a computer screen letting out "real life" ? Sometimes, it is much easier to let ourselves go, evading responsibilities, than to put means t...
