They say that these people are the forerunners of a new biological species, the next step in the evolution of homo sapiens. Their exact number on the planet is unknown to anyone. Rough estimates are from several hundred to 10 thousand people
"Sun-eaters" - so many of them call themselves. Others prefer more florid wording - for example, "autotrophic (or self-sufficient) creatures." According to them, they are able to do without food, and sometimes without water, "feeding" only on solar energy. However, here, too, there are different variants of names: energy can be cosmic, pranic, divine, etc. The essence of the process does not change from this: thanks to it, metabolism and synthesis of substances necessary for life occur in the cells of the body. Ordinary people think that these people are either freaks or charlatans. But at the same time there are more and more followers of the "sun-eaters".
Newspapers have written about the most famous Russian "sun-eater" more than once. A resident of Krasnodar, Zinaida Baranova, according to her, has been doing without food and water since April 2000. At the same time, she is quite active: she travels around the country, gives lectures. And for his 70 years it looks great.
The problem is that Zinaida Grigorievna categorically refused medical examinations. First of all, from those that involve prolonged confinement under constant supervision. “I just don’t have time to sit somewhere locked up. Yes, I'm not going to prove anything to anyone. In my life I have more important tasks than to dissuade skeptics,”she assured. A couple of examinations, to which Zinaida once agreed, were carried out using non-traditional methods, therefore, representatives of official medicine were not taken seriously. And here's the good news. Baranova was examined in one of the scientific and medical centers of Zelenograd, which has at its disposal modern equipment that conducts radio wave diagnostics.
“This is the newest and unique technology,” says the general director of the center, candidate of medical sciences Alexander Semeniy. - The computer processes electromagnetic signals from body tissues and provides data on the state of health at the cellular level for all organs. Imagine my surprise when, based on 32 measurements made on the body of Zinaida Baranova, we obtained a physiological norm. All organs are in order, there are only minor functional disorders. I can say that over 8 years of working with this diagnostic technology, I have examined 5.5 thousand patients. The same good health was found only in four!"
Of course, this does not prove that Zinaida Baranova can do without food and water. On the other hand, how can the organs and tissues of a 70-year-old woman remain normal, especially since at one time she was assigned the second disability group and a number of pathological changes were revealed? Zinaida Grigorievna herself claims that her body has undergone a radical transformation at the cellular level. And she literally felt like a kind of "restructuring" was going on in her body.
Baranova already has followers. True, the experience of "sun-eating" was not successful for all of them. There were also fatalities.
Nikolay Dolgoruky

A certain Nikolai Dolgoruky lives in Zaporozhye, who has not eaten for more than three years. He does not need food - he feeds on … solar energy. His diet: water with honey, milk and cream. And if you want something spicy, he buys spices for fish soup, adds them to boiling water and enjoys this culinary masterpiece.
The 33-year-old sun-eating man walks barefoot and sleeps outside even in winter. He only rides a bicycle and can watch the sun for up to 13 hours a day.
It turns out that everyone can start a lifelong fast. And this is not at all alien to our physiology. The human body is "equipped" with three types of food: through the skin, lungs and stomach, - psychophysiologists say. Today, the stomach is the main "channel" for processing energy necessary for the functioning of the human body. Scientists have calculated that a person absorbs about 100 tons of food throughout his life.
But in ancient times (when there was no such abundance of food in countless supermarkets and fast foods, and our ancestors had to run for long hours after the animal in the forest, and even then “without a guarantee” to eat something for lunch) everything was to another. For our ancestors, the main type of nutrition was assimilated nutrients through the skin and lungs, and only last but not least through the stomach.
No matter how much a gluttonous gourmet eats, only about 1.5% of the food consumed is absorbed by the body. The rest is excreted from the body or is a waste that settles in the body. It is these foreign substances that the body tries to remove when feeding through the lungs (when we go out to “get some fresh air). And we do not gorge ourselves on air only because the inhaled oxygen enters the bloodstream and burns unnecessary substances. Ideally, if the body were absolutely clean, the energy of the air (through the lungs) or the Sun (through the skin) would not be spent on “cleaning” the body, but on maintaining the vitality of the human body.
It all started on August 25, 2003. Then Nikolai Dolgoruky once and for all refused food. “I came to my destiny through a long path of spiritual development. From 1989 to 2003, I began to adhere to a weak Christian fast. And for the last three years I have been doing without rough food,”says the Zaporozhye sun-eater.

Fasting as a Spiritual Practice
Cases of prolonged fasting are described in various religious sources. So, in the history of the Catholic Church, six cases of prolonged (from 7 to 28 years) people living without food and liquid have been recorded. Moreover, all the characters were women. Some of them are recognized as saints and canonized.
The researcher of religions Y. Terapiano gives such examples. Saint Angela of Foligno did not eat or drink for ten years, Catherine of Siena eight, St. Ludwina twenty-eight, and the stigmatized Bavarian Teresa Neumann for thirty years! In Orthodoxy, the spiritual feat of Seraphim of Sarov is known, who for a thousand nights stood on a large stone in the forest, constantly crying: "God, have mercy on me, a sinner!" During the day he returned to his cell and also stood on the stone next to him from morning to evening. We can also mention the schema-monks, who for a long time denied themselves food. For example, Euthymius of the Caves, the Monk Silouan.
A similar experience is known for yogis and Buddhists. It follows from it that lean food and fasting prepare the human body for the acceptance of higher spiritual forces. A certain Pralad Jani lives in India, who has been without food for 69 years. Moreover, he was under medical supervision for 411 days, taking only half a glass of water daily.
