Breatharianism, also known as inedia, is the disproven belief that humans can live without food or water, surviving solely on air, light, or cosmic energy (prana). Medical experts and scientists classify it as a dangerous pseudoscience because the human body requires regular nutrients and hydration to survive.Core Beliefs and ClaimsPranic Nourishment: Followers claim that the universe provides all needed energy through breath and sunlight rather than digestion.Spiritual Purity: Proponents view going without food as a way to reach a higher state of physical and spiritual evolution.Gradual Transition: Adherents often transition from a normal diet to vegetarianism, raw veganism, fruitarianism, and finally to consuming little or no food.Medical and Scientific RealityStarvation and Dehydration: Depriving the body of food and water leads rapidly to severe malnutrition, organ failure, and death.Debunked Claims: High-profile promoters of breatharianism caught secretly eating have discredited the movement. Documented tests of "breatharian" gurus under medical observation have shown that prolonged unmonitored fasting claims are false and biologically impossible.
This is not a joke people actually believe this. It was created by Wiley Brooks a bullshitter who is hilarious.
Wiley Brooks (1936–2016)was the 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! Brooks stopped teaching shortly before his death in 2016 to "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". Brooks claims to have found "four major deterrents" which prevented him from living without food: "people pollution", "food pollution", "air pollution", and "electro pollution".
In 1983, he was reportedly observed leaving a Santa Cruz 7-Eleven with a Slurpee, a hot dog, and Twinkies. He told Colors magazine in 2003 that he periodically breaks his fasting with a cheeseburger and a cola, explaining that when he's surrounded by junk culture and junk food, consuming them adds balance.
Brooks later claimed that "All McDonalds are constructed on properties that are protected by 5th Dimensional high energy/spiritual portals", encouraging the consumption of Diet Coke and McDonald's Double-Quarter-Pounder/with cheese meal ("It is also acceptable to combine 2 quarter-pounder with cheese burgers to make one double-quarter pounder if you can't get the double-quarter-pounder with cheese where you live"), and discouraging the consumption of "water of any kind". The idea of separate but interconnected 5D and 3D worlds was a major part of Brooks' ideology, and Brooks encouraged his followers to only eat these special 5D foods, as well as to meditate on a set of magical 5D words.
Brooks's institute has set various prices for prospective clients wishing to learn how to live without food, ranging from US$100,000 with an initial deposit of $10,000, to fifty billion dollars, to be paid via bank wire transfer with a preliminary deposit of $100,000, for a session called an "Immortality workshop". A payment plan was also offered. These charges were typically presented as limited time offers exclusively for billionaires.
