Article #2: Excerpted from Live Foods by George & Doris Fathman

Even more fantastic are the cases of the Bavarian stigmatist, Therese Neumann, and Giri Bala of India. Miss Neumann's case is, of course, world famous, and has been carefully verified many times. Going through the agony of the crucifixion every Friday, she has lived her entire adult life on nothing but one communion wafer once a day. Giri Bala's case is practically unknown, or was until it was first brought to the world's notice by Paramhansa Yogananda in his Autobiography of a Yogi. Her amazing story has been thoroughly verified. For fifty-five years she lived without eating! During all that time she prepared all the meals for her family, lived an active life, yet had no appetite for food. Both of these women maintain they live on God's light. When asked to explain, they say their secret cannot be revealed, that it is not for the mass of mankind, in this day, but only to prove that we are spirit, and that ultimately that spirit will rule the flesh.
