I don't believe it. She is probably drinking water or teas or broths

Why settle for personal claims? Put her up in a hotel for a week under constant surveillance. Issue solved.

News have short life....

However - the common-sense answer: they are eating and drinking when others are not looking.
Just wonder why some people from remote villages would make such statements? To appear "god-like"? To get attention?
And why any doctors would actually waste their time to even consider it worth any observation.
Sounds like the movie movie "The Wonder".

I don't buy it.

The human body can survive a few weeks without food. But without water? You'd be dead in a few days.

It's not even a question of not believing it. It's not possible. Very strange thread...

Physically impossible so her real problem is lying. A human body can live for 43 to 70 days without food. It can only live for 3-7 days without water. Either she is not human or she is lying.

Not sure what to think about them, but their stories aren't debunked, yet.
She needs to define “anything.” The body gets energy from the food you eat. There is no way around that. Sure, a person can live many days drinking water, but they need to drink something. At a certain point you need to eat something.

Oh, wait.. one of them was from Ethiopia?

Well, then.. Why were they whining about being in a famine years ago if they don't need to eat?


"We are the World" was a scam?
