Living on Air

The diet some of the families in Gaza are having to live on is little more than Living on Air. 

There is a ( not well supported ) belief that a human can live on air and light alone:

Breatharians ?

The breatharian lifestyle requires that a person give up food and water altogether and live purely off prana, which they also call "living on light" or "living on air."

Foremost Breatharian, Jasmuheen, formerly Ellen Greve, reportedly started today's breatharian movement. Her Prana Program advises followers to convert to breatharianism gradually: Become a vegetarian; become a vegan; move to raw foods, then fruits, then liquids and finally prana. You replace physical nourishment with air and light.

Fasting is a spiritually important aspect of most major religions, including Hinduism, Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Mahatma Gandhi, the famed spiritual and political leader and humanitarian, referred to a complete fast as "the truest prayer." He conducted fasts throughout his life for religious and political reasons.

The main difference between fasting and the breatharian approach to food is that fasting has an end point. Breatharianism is a total fast for life — that is, however long you live.

Jasmuheen claims she's lived for years without nourishment, although she does eat occasionally for taste every once in a while. But breatharianism has taken the lives of some of its followers.

Breatharian Fatalities
Verity Linn, a 49-year-old woman, died in a remote part of Scotland after attempting the breatharian conversion.

Timo Degen, a kindergarten teacher, tried the breatharian plan and slipped into a coma. Degen recovered after four weeks of IV drips, only to die a short while later [source: The Sunday Times via Rick Ross].
