It has been believed that food and water are the basic necessities of life. But this fact has been proven wrong by an 84 year old man named Prahlad Jani, who claimed to survive without food and water for 70 years.
He claimed to have left home at the age of 7 (seven) and lived as a holy man in Rajasthan, India.
Mr Prahlad Jani was held in isolation in a hospital in Ahemdabad, Gujrat where he was closely monitored by India's defense research organization. It is the organization which develops drone aircraft, intercontinental ballistic missiles and new types of bombs. The scientists in the organization believed that Mr.Prahlad could teach them to help soldiers survive longer without food, or disaster victims to endure until help arrives.
He has now spent six days without food or water under strict observation and doctors say his body has not yet shown any adverse effects from hunger or dehydration.

It is common in India for Jains and Hindus to fast up to 8 (eight) days, as part of their religious worship. Facts have that most humans cannot survive without food for 50 days. Although the longest hunger strike recorded is 74 days.
