Only problem is it's all BS.
Except it is all supported by references to studies published in peer-reviewed science journals.
No, no it is not. Not one ounce of proof exist.
It is complete bull even with teachings of it being linked to peoples death.

But hey, you want to try to sell a book or something or recruit people to a cult, have at it. If anyone is dumb enough to believe this crap, they
deserve it.
You are wrong, and wrong again, and wrong again. There is no book anywhere, and breatharianism is no more a "cult" than vegetarianism. It is merely a
lifestyle. It is a way people live their lives. Are homosexuality and transsexuality cults? Is heterosexuality a cult then? Do these need
"recruiting"? No, but people can discuss them, no?
As for evidence, the evidence is the best kind you can have: your own personal experience. You might ignore the 50,000 breatharians worldwide, you can
ignore the observations and studies done on many of them that VOLUNTEERED to undergo medical tests while under constant observation. You can ignore it
all, but you cannot ignore it when you are performing a dry fast with pranayama meditation and you find that your weight is more after meditation than
before.
Yes, in the past 40 years 4 people died trying to transition to breatharianism. You heard right. There are hundreds of guides now worldwide who run
breatharian workshops, and over 50,000 people have transitioned over the past 40 years. However breatharianism isn't for everybody. You must listen to
your own body first and foremost. Some of those trying to transition wanted it too bad and did not follow the guidelines. (Like the lady in Austin who
knew that you have to step out of the dry fast SLOWLY and GRADUALLY with a small amount of water but she drank a whole bottle of orange juice shocking
her own system and consequently died.)
This is very similar to some motorists not following the guidelines, which causes over 1 million deaths on the roads EACH YEAR. But travelling in
metal boxes at high speeds while you pollute the air (causing a global asthma epidemic), cause noise pollution and kill people is fine. So fine in
fact that people pay $$$$ each year to take part in the fun (of queuing at traffic lights, sitting gridlocked in traffic jams and circling around car
parks looking for a space, or breaking down, having flat tyres, etc. just because they're too damn lazy to walk). But you all noticed how
breatharianism massacred those 4 people in 40 years. Well done.
Let me ask you two questions.
Firstly, If breatharianism were all lies, why would ANY one of them, let alone so many, voluntarily take part in the clinical observations and tests,
if they know they will fail and be exposed, effectively ruining their own reputation? Why agree to be tested if failure is 100% guaranteed? It just
doesn't make sense. (Of course all these people (with the exception of Jamusheen) passed the observations with flying colors, so only asking this as a
rhetorical question.)
Secondly, in the past 40 years we had 4 deaths due to failed transition attempts. However, there are lots of workshops running worldwide each year,
with approx. 50,000 successful transitions reported so far. If you go to any of the workshops you can see how many people attend and you will be
connected with people who you will see transition and with whom you can keep in touch to update each other on your further developments. So my
question is: Where are all the tens of thousands of dead people who failed to transition? Surely many spiritualist new-agers will be fanatic enough to
go that far. Or alternatively, where are the thousands of failure stories and warning stories of all the dissilusioned participants exposing all these
charlatans? Shouldn't forums and youtube be awash with them, in comments under breatharian videos and personal experience videos shared by
disillusioned participants warning others? Funny, I don't see a single one anywhere. But what I do see is hundreds of articles and interviews in the
newspapers and documentaries sharing success stories. Where are the failure stories exposing this "conspiracy"??? Are you even serious????
