Source?

Source? (I am willing to take a plane tomorrow to demonstrate that right away, just tell me who to contact.)
- Retric 9y agoOne Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge ended in 2015 when James Randi retired. But, it should not be that hard to get something similar setup if you really want. I am not going to dig that far into this but read https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/breatharians/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/breatharians/ as a starting point.
- benevol 9y agoAs I've said before, I'm willing to take the challenge, if I'm paid enough. The mentioned metabolic chamber is doable. Try me.
- maxxxxx 9y agoWe should collect some money. I would be willing to chip in $1000 if someone could demonstrate that.
- Retric 9y agoSure, I can toss in 1,000$. But, the prize is not as hard as simply running tests like this.
- benevol 9y agoJust ask an MD what test would be required. Then talk to some SV VC and/or set up a Kickstarter campaign. Then contact me.
- Retric 9y agoIf you are willing to sit inside a metabolic chamber then feel free. https://www.pbrc.edu/news/making-an-impact/?ArticleID=344 https://www.pbrc.edu/news/making-an-impact/?ArticleID=344 The problem is not incentive, if you can demonstrate this that's not going to be a problem. People have spent 100 billion+ trying to break physics demonstrate it's wrong and money would be plentiful.
- benevol 9y agoOk, that looks a bit like solitary confinement. But ultimately, it just pushes the prize money up. I remain open for suggestions.
- benevol 9y agoI'm ready to demonstrate that if the money is right and the funding is credible. Here's my suggestion for the approximate conditions: 1 week on water only, no food. Full medical and 24-hour video surveillance, and all kinds of tests (blood, urine, you name it) to show that nothing is wrong with my body. If I win, I collect the prize. If you make serious progress in raising money, you can contact me at john_999 at gmx dot net
- maxxxxx 9y agoOne week is not enough. I have fasted for a week myself. That's easy. You mentioned "couple of weeks" so six or 8 weeks would be more appropriate.
- benevol 9y agoOk, it's really only a matter of the amount of the prize to collect. I remain open for suggestions.
- Yetanfou 9y agoIf this "method" makes it possible to live "a healthy life without food" and is, according to you "the ultimate life & health hack"... ...then why are you so adamant about collecting funds to do it? Don't you want to live a healthy life? Are you not interested in the ultimate life and health hack?
- benevol 9y ago> why are you so adamant about collecting funds to do it? Don't you want to live a healthy life? Are you not interested in the ultimate life and health hack? I already apply the method for a couple of weeks now. The money would be needed to cover all expenses but most of all to motivate me enough to take the time off and live a couple of weeks in what amounts to "medical solitary confinement" conditions in some medical institution.
