Does Buddhism have any thoughts on Breatharianism and being nourished solely through Prana?

This belief orginates from the Hindu religion and is not an accepted part of Buddhist thought.
The reason that this is not part of Buddhist thought is that the Buddha lived as an ascetic and fasted for weeks at a time. He reached the point where his body was very emaciated and he was on the verge of death. At this point he was offered some food by a passing person (watery rice, I believe). The ascetics he lived with in the forest belived he had betrayed their cause and refused to have anything to do with him (some apparently later changed their minds). From this he was able to realise that complete deprivation is NOT the way to live.
Scientific research undertaken in Australia has since proved that this is NOT possible. See the link on Breatharianism for further information.
