Beautiful twenty five year old Manju Dharra lives in the small town of Sonipat located near India's capital of New Delhi.
She suffers from Achalasia which causes the cardiac sphincter muscle to remain closed so food cannot pass into her stomach.
She has never eaten solid food and lives on a liquid diet of milk, tea, water and juice.
Surgery would be a solution to her problem but her family cannot afford such medical indulgences so they've made temporary arrangements to suit her needs.
Her parents bought her a cow which provides her with the four or five litres of milk she consumes each day.
She certainly looks healthy.
Perhaps not eating food could become a new diet fad for the western world...

Good thing she ain't lactose intolerant.
ReplyDeleteHr parents have been very clever to feed her the what her body needs. She does look healthy.
ReplyDeletemore proof that fresh, raw dairy is a perfect, nutrient-dense food. when it's raw there's no lactose intolerance.
ReplyDeleteNot eating is a diet fad. Called anorexia. It is not healthy, and very sad. I know you are not encouraging that! This woman is missing out on one of the greatest pleasures of life. Meals, fruit, vegetables, salads. Why? Because of a lack of decent healthcare so many lack.
ReplyDeleteMilk is food. Raw milk healthier than most of the stuff our society throws in its basket at the supermarket.
