The longest time he's been monitored on camera is 96 hours, and people can survive longer without food and water. Note that he sits perfectly still for this entire time; his body isn't exactly requiring a lot of energy. My theory is that he has knowledge of when he'll be filmed, and prepares for them in advance.
Oh, and during previous filming, infrared cameras at night failed to pick up any evidence of a body (the film crew were required to be behind a fence). All evidence we have suggests he moves around at night and that is when he eats, etc.
I'm not saying I believe it's genuine but............ that does not explain how he's able to control his body temp or how he doesn't shiver in the cold, and can spontaneuosly burst into sweat, without moving in 15 degrees C (59F). What might be more explainable, but highly unlikely, is the fact that he can sleep without falling over, and that he's not getting pressure sores. Even if all that is explained it's still amazing that somebody can survive for 4 days without food/water and show no signs of dehydration or starvation..............even if you still beleive the general story is a hoax, atleast admit that you would probably die if you attempted to do the same.
As was mentioned earlier, there are no doctors monitoring Ram Bomjon, but their have been people who have done similair acts and have had doctors monitoring them. Prahlad Jani has gone 15 days without food or water, under medical supervision and he is featured in the doc I posted

Quote:After fifteen days of observation during which he reportedly did not eat, drink or go to the toilet, all medical tests on Jani were reported as normal and researchers described him as being in better health than someone half his age
