A nutritionist who claims to not have consumed any water for a year has sparked controversy online by suggesting that her long-term dry fast has greatly improved her health and well-being.

35-year-old Sophie Partik used to suffer aching joints, puffy eyes, food allergies, bad skin and digestive issues, but claims that all these problems went away when she started dry-fasting. She doesn’t touch any liquids for 13-14 hours a day, and when she does it’s only living water, like the juice of fruits and vegetables. The most she has gone without any liquids was 52 hours, but she dreams of the day when she will be able to dry fast for 10 days. Sophie hasn’t drunk bottled or faucet water in a year, and claims that the need for water is only in our heads.

“It’s in our mind that we need water, I know I am not dehydrated but it takes patience to overcome our desires,” Partik said. “At the beginning it’s hard but then It’s very releasing, it’s the best psychotherapy, instead of eating and drinking I have so much time to focus on other things.”

The nutritionist, who currently lives in Bali, said that she had extreme swelling in her face and joints, as well as puffiness, but doctors always told her that there was nothing wrong with her and that if she wanted to look less puffy around the eyes she should get plastic surgery. But then one day a friend suggested that she try dry fasting and she saw the positive changes almost immediately.

“Pretty much straight away the puffiness started to get better so I wanted to research a bit more,” the 35-year-old told Caters News. “I have been looking for answers all my life and I thought that the universe’s way of sending them to me.”

“Drinking bottled water and water from the faucet actually makes your kidneys overwork and flushes all the nutrients out of your body,” Sophie added. “You don’t need water to stay hydrated, it really just makes you feel bloated. When you start dry fasting, you soon realize your body doesn’t need water.”

There are people who claim they don't even need to eat, and can just live on some kind of nourishing energy while meditating to preserve their own body.

I’d guess I haven’t drank plain water in well over a year (the last time being a drinking fountain at a funeral home) but I do drink (weak) coffee all day long, whole milk with meals (if I’m at home), 1-2 cans of pop per day (Coke and Faygo purple) and beer (Bell’s Two Hearted) if I’m out partying.

>Jasmuheen (born Ellen Greve) was a prominent advocate of breatharianism in the 1990s. She said "I can go for months and months without having anything at all other than a cup of tea. My body runs on a different kind of nourishment."[24]
>Interviewers found her house stocked with food; Jasmuheen claimed the food was for her husband and daughter.
>In 1999, she volunteered to be monitored closely by the Australian television program 60 Minutes for one week without eating, to demonstrate her methods.[25][26] >Jasmuheen stated that she found it difficult on the third day of the test because the hotel room in which she was confined was located near a busy road, causing stress and pollution that prevented absorption of required nutrients from the air. "I asked for fresh air. Seventy percent of my nutrients come from fresh air. I couldn’t even breathe," she said.
>The third day, the test was moved to a mountainside retreat, where her condition continued to deteriorate. After Jasmuheen had fasted for four days, Berris Wink, president of the Queensland branch of the Australian Medical Association, urged her to stop the test.[27]

>According to Wink, Jasmuheen's pupils were dilated, her speech was slow, and she was "quite dehydrated, probably over 10%, getting up to 11%". Towards the end of the test, she said, "Her pulse is about double what it was when she started. The risks if she goes any further are kidney failure. 60 Minutes would be culpable if they encouraged her to continue. She should stop now." The test was stopped.
>Jasmuheen challenged the results of the program, saying, "Look, 6,000 people have done this around the world without any problem."[

I'm sure she legitimately saw an improvement in her puffy eyes.
In that, instead of treating the cause of her puffy eyes, she simply dehydrates herself to the extent where her body doesn't have enough water to swell. Genius plan.

>Jasmuheen claims that their beliefs are based on the writings and "more recent channelled material" from St. Germain. She stated that some people's DNA has expanded from 2 to 12 strands, to "absorb more hydrogen". When offered $30,000 to prove her claim with a blood test, she said that she didn't understand the relevance as she was not referring to herself.
