Scientist Live Off Sunlight For 4 Years

Thats bizarre a German scientist claims he has spent four years living off nothing but sunlight.

Dr Michael Werner insists he hasn't eaten for four years, consuming only water and a little fruit juice while being nourished by the sun.

The scientist has written a book about his experiences - 'Living through the Energy of Light' - where he claims to be in good health.

He writes: "I can't really explain what is happening on a scientific level in my case, but perhaps just a little bit of faith is all that is needed."

Yeah, right. And if anybody out there actually believes this bullshit, I have a wonderful investment opportunity for them. No checks, please—cash only and in small bills.

This reminds of a bunch of yahoos who were running around in the early 80’s calling themselves the Breathairians. They claimed they could live off of nothing but air. They pretty much fell from public grace when their leader was arrested after he ran into a convenience store at 2:00 A.M. and starting attacking the Hostess rack, ripping open bags of Ho-Ho’s and fruit pies and shoving them in his mouth.

Continued part of an article below of an AD on the blog:

Quote:
But Dr Helmut Oberritter, the head of the German Society for Nutrition, is unconvinced with the findings - saying only plants can create energy from light.

He said: "It is not possible to live on fruit juice alone. "There are lots of vital proteins and fats that are missing. Obviously this case needs a lot more investigating if we are to explain it."
