The faithful of the movement are fed with breaths, after they deny any other food, or anything they drink.
"Eat fresh air" seems to be the daily slogan of the 400.000 people who live by this practice. Of course, there are many skeptics, and we do not wonder why. In fact, even the Belgian police launched an investigation into the death of a 60-year-old woman who died of starvation in 2017, following this practice.
Akahi Ricardo and Camila Castello, a young married couple with two children who live between California and Ecuador, swear that they have been living this way for years and are perfectly healthy.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Camila said outrageously that in her first pregnancy she ate only once in nine months and that she ate little in the second, and that she thus managed to give birth to two very healthy children.
The couple teaches "breatharianism" and says that this is how they solved the issues of health and weight once and for all, while without food they also save money.
Ellen Greve or Jasmuheen, author of Living with Light: Five Years Without Food, is the Australian who brought the movement to Europe, but is considered a swindler. All this grief about this particular lifestyle has greatly alarmed the health institutions, because it is really unbelievable the will of the people when they believe in something.
