Not eating or drinking for extended periods or does the article make you believe he has not eaten for last 70 years? Never the less it is very bizarre, and makes me go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........

I will simply refer you to P. T. Barnum on this one.
I think that believing that story would put you in the running for the gullibility of the year award.
Sanal Edamaruku of the Indian Rationalist Association claimed to have been repeatedly denied sending an independent team to survey the room where Jani was held. He also claimed that "this particular hospital, led by this particular doctor, keeps on making these claims without ever producing evidence or publishing research." The Indian Rationalist Association also said that individuals making similar claims have all reportedly been exposed as frauds.
I believe monks are some of the few groups of people on earth that can do extraordinary things with their bodies. But nothing as outrageous as not eating for 70 yrs!
some may be able to control their breathing and do some mind control type thing and go with very little food or water...but none??? no way! even vitamins in water are not enough to keep a person alive....there are some gullible people who'll believe anything...
"50-year-old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine sets a new world record of 49-day fast to beat last years 44-day record set by American magician, David Blaine.
On March 20, 2003, Chen Jianmin of Luzhou City, Sichuan Province went into a specially-constructed 15 square meter glass room in Ya’an City to begin his 49-day fast. In the room, built halfway up the mountain of Bifengxia Valley, Chen was allowed to drink only water. He could not leave the room or have food.
The fast was to "attest to the regimen of traditional Chinese medical science" and challenge the world record set by American magician, David Blaine."
T'ain't that difficult a trick. My great grandfather hasn't eaten in over 70 years either, of course, he died in 1934.
