The Swedish case involving breatharian parents and a sick child gained significant attention and sparked widespread concern. The incident unfolded in 2016 when a couple, who identified themselves as breatharians, were accused of neglecting their infant child's health and well-being.
Breatharianism is a controversial belief system that claims individuals can live without consuming food or water, sustaining themselves solely on prana (a life force or vital energy). In this particular case, the parents adhered to the belief and practiced extreme fasting, feeding their child only small amounts of breast milk, fruit juice, and water.
