I don't believe it and I'm not sending him any of my money. It reminds of "Autobiography of a Yogi." There were all kinds of Indian holy men in that book who claimed to have magical powers.<br><b>References : </b><br> Sounds like quackery to me.

Lack of sunlight upon the human body effects the brain adversely. While I think the claims are exaggerated, there is certainly an effect on the hypothalamus from the exposure to sunlight. While it's true the human body doesn't photosynthesize, it is however sensitive to the amount of sunlight it receives. I would certainly need to see the evidence of these claims before I'd bite. If humans could live without spending $$$ on nutrition they guy would be a gazillionaire. How old was Thomas Jefferson by then?..LOL Perhaps whatever effect the technique actually has on a human is similar to the effects of lack of sunlight on those diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder? http://www.nosad.org/ Tell Mr. Wolfe I haven't eaten in 11. You can't prove/disprove either mine nor Hira's claims. Note: I wouldn't recommend the methods of "staring at the sun" that website encourages. "Stand there for 10 months you would never have the need for food again."---you would be blind way before that. You would burn out your retinas or something along those lines. What if it's a cloudy day? Do you have to start from scratch?<br><b>References : </b><br> How does it accomplish this? Lack of sunlight upon the human body effects the brain adversely.

"Stand there for 10 months you would never have the need for food again."—you would be blind way before that. You would burn out your retinas or something along those lines.

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:39:59 +0000 http://www.longevitynowvideos.com/david-wolfe/solartarian#comment-1011 Very interesting article, but... Human beings are incapable of photosynthesis, other than Vitamin D there is nothing that sunlight can give us, nutritionally (and Vitamin D is produced by our bodies in reaction to ultraviolet rays, it's not like the sun's rays are magically nutritious). A human being that has not eaten in 10 years - there's billions of those (6 feet under the ground!). I looked at the site and though Mr. Manek's site claims extensive research (even by the University of Pennsylvania), there is no proof, no links to scientific research, data, experiment notes, etc. All the accessible documents are PDF documents that have no official stamps, seals, etc. and are all archived and hosted by the domain name that Manek's site has (meaning it's not a link to an actual study at University of Pennsylvania's webpages). With further available research and documentation, I'd be more able to comment further. It's really interesting, obviously, but I'm just not sure how it is possible from a medical point of view. However, discounting ALL of that, on a spiritual basis only, I do believe in miracles and I do believe in very peculiar, supernatural things occurring on Earth that cannot be explained by modern science. So it is entirely possible from a spiritual, religious standpoint, but I don't really want to apply personal religious beliefs to scientific fact.<br><b>References : </b><br> Very interesting article, but… Human beings are incapable of photosynthesis, other than Vitamin D there is nothing that sunlight can give us, nutritionally (and Vitamin D is produced by our bodies in reaction to ultraviolet rays, it’s not like the sun’s rays are magically nutritious).
