It is interesting that these doctors and military is trying to figure out the secret and hopefully to train their soldiers this ability? Unless it is a "magical" feat, I don't think you can just turn on/off your natural functions. I believe it is a gradual thing and lots and lots of discipline. Here is my question, does the guy do anything else? cause if he just sleeps, meditate and back to sleep. I would say it is kinda hibernation

I don't know. I'm just guessing here.

Except humans can't hibernate...


You know what would be funny?! If they teach soldiers this and then as a result they all become pacifists...

you know what will be funny?

When they catch this guy cheating.

I know, but I don't know another term that could "explain" this if it was true.

I don't think this guy can pack that kind of punch.

Probably not, but that is what it reminds me of.

Haven't there been "Holy Men" who have been claiming to be able to do this for decades? and every last one of them is turned out to be a fraud?

Every so often, people win at things that I didn't even know were contests.

Man, i couldn't turn on the sound at work when i posted this... the brazilian audio says the same thing as the captions... cool.

He was studied back in 2003.

During his 10-day fast, he lost weight, casting doubt on his ability to live without food.

The current testing is more rigorous and longer than the previous testing.

Wait, he stayed 10 days without water?! That alone is impressive...

Impressive definitely, but not unheard of.

And he wasn't 100% without water. He was allowed to rinse his mouth daily. Which isn't much, but you can't say some water wasn't absorbed by the mucous membranes.
