Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Hi Myrna, I know it was a question for Rich, however I would like to write you my opinion and experience. The more simply and natural is my food, the more simply and natural becomes my personality. I feel more and more free. This Monday and Tuesday I had my breatharian days. Yesterday I ate my fruit all the day till the evening when I did the exception within the frontiers of vegetarianism. Surely not because of cravings. It was just because I was with my friend and there was no fresh fruit so I preferred not to be hungry and to choose something. Today I have a breatharian day, too. I feel very well in this way, I am not hungry nor thirsty and I have no cravings. As soon as I begin to feel hunger or thirst, I will eat my fruit again.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I think there is another energy besides food that can be activated for the human body. It's just my belief, but surely, if God wills it, it can be done. I have no interest in being a breatharian and probably never will, but it is probably a truth that some people out there are true breatharians, so if that's the case, then it does exist.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Is there any difference between being a breatharian and fasting?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Katarina, I appreciate getting your experience with breatharianism. I thought it meant just not eating for months at a time. I see no harm in missing a meal and from what you say it looks like not eating for a day or two at a time could be a good thing, giving your body a break in between days of eating--sort of like fasting.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Hi Rich, These words are usually used in the following meaning: Fasting: No eating, just drinking liquids. Hunger strike: No eating,drinking just pure water. Bretharianism: No eating nor drinking. There are some people who use to drink pure water and their urine, too. Others drink just their urine. So I don´t know whether these cases seem to you more fasting or hunger strike. It is not important, these are just words, the important is to know what we are speking about. Since yesterday I haven´t eaten nor drunk anything. As soon as I begin to feel hungry or thirsty, I will begin to eat the fruits aganin. However, this evening I will be with my aunt that I haven´t seen for 2 months and she always prepares me fruits with love, so I will surely take them. During the weekend I will be with my parents with whom I prefer to act in the same way. It is all just about the freedom, love and well-being.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Yes, Myrna, I feel it as a great relax for my body. However, I can´t share my experiences with beeing breatharian for months because I don´t have them. This all is something new for me. I think it was last year when I tried to fast one day (full moon)in a months. I drank just water and it was very difficult for me. I felt very hungry and weak. Sometimes it wasn´t so bad in the evening, however when I woke up in the next morning I felt really bad and I vomited even the salivas. I tried to do it more months but it was always the same, so I didn´t continue with it. Now I have a friend that practises yoga and he told me he uses to fast the days of full moon, then that opposite one (sorry, I couldn´t find this word in my dictionary) and 11 days after those two days. So I told him I would try to join him but I would stop it if I would feel bad. I drank just water. It was just slightly unpleasent and in the next morning I didn´t have any problems. I was just very hungry, so I began to eat fruits again. Then he told me he doesn´t drink anything during these 4 days, so I wanted to try it, too. I supposed I would be too thirsty and weak but it didn´t happen and I felt very well. That´s why I have begun to practice my breatharian days.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Well that is interesting, I was about 43 days raw and going very strong when I ate cooked one meal and then the next day I picked at something else and it just rollercoasted from there, a little each day (larger portions) and before I knew it I was cooked again. It has taken me just over two weeks to get myself together again to go raw. I am very cold at the moment from eating raw but after going cooked for a while, my skin is rough again and I don't feel as good. It is hard and I know it is an addiction but I know it is the right thing for me as I suffer from psoriasis and need to be rid of it. It would be nice to be able to just have one meal occassionally cooked and then be raw again and I did that for a while, but I just rollercoasted and the worse thing was I ate worse than before I actually went raw. I increased my raw over the past few days and am now raw again but very cold. Angela LaMonte <amadera656 wrote:I am such an excessive personality type usually. I find it interesting that I can give myself a day of cooked and then go back to raw too! It is uncharacteristic of me. I used to like everything bad for me and would do that in excess as well. Now raw feels like what I want and what feels good. But on my family reunion I want to eat with everyone (cooked vegetarian), and use food in that bonding way,and be easy on myself, and relax. But I do realize that I wont be being truly " easy " on myself bc I am giving my body unhealthy food, so I am in essence being " hard " on my self! Every week I eat cooked on Sunday, and getting back to normal on Mondays is no sweat/no problem. I usually feel good again by Tues. It is going to be an interesting experiment to see what happens when I have two or three days of cooked food in my body. I hope I feel so atrocious that I wont do it again! Take care Angela Rich Sachs <seconaphim wrote: I find it fascinating that someone can do this diet as they choose. How could you " plan " on not " being raw the entire time " at your annual family reunion? If I was to make such a plan, I wouldn't be raw for half an hour following my decision. I've failed at being raw countless times, but I always go into eating raw planning that I'll be that way for the rest of my life. Rich Friends. Fun.
