Medical Analysis of Sharanya in the Forest

There are many doubts in the minds of people about Sharanya, who went on a trek to Tadiyanda Mole hill and came out after spending four days there. Although Sharanya's case seems surprising at first glance, there are possibilities to explain it without mysteries from a medical and physiological point of view.

Here is its analysis

* Survival for 3-4 days with only water intake...

Everyone knows that she went with only half a liter of water. But there is water in the stream flowing there. A healthy 36-year-old person can easily survive for 3 to 4 days without food, if enough water is available. During this time, the body undergoes the following changes:

* Glycogen utilization: In the first 24 hours, the body uses the glycogen stored in it.

* Then the body starts to burn fat and get energy through a process called ketosis. This prevents the muscles from degenerating quickly and keeps the energy levels stable for a short period.

So, it is medically possible to survive for four days by drinking water flowing from a mountain.

Why does she not look tired?

Although it may seem unbelievable to us, there are scientific reasons for this:

She may have said that she did not sleep at all, but in reality the body unconsciously gets ‘micro-sleep’ (a few seconds or minutes of sleep).

* A short rest while sitting or lying down can prevent severe fatigue from appearing on the face for just three days.

Energy saving...

When lost, people usually run around in panic at first, but then stay in one place to conserve energy. Since she stayed near the stream and reduced her movement, her body’s energy cannot have been wasted.

The cool air of the forest and soaking in the rain must have been a boon for her. It maintained body temperature and prevented water loss through perspiration (aethijadichinioti).

The humidity of the forest (oomijanithioti) kept her skin from drying out, making her appear lively (fresh).

During times of stress, the body releases the hormones adrenaline and cortisol. These keep a person alert and temporarily forget fatigue. This gives a kind of sparkle or alertness to the eyes.

Her external appearance can mislead us.

What we call ‘fresh’ does not fully reflect the health inside:

A natural face without makeup and in natural light is likely to look clean.

A slight degree of dehydration (aethijadichinioti) reduces facial puffiness and makes facial features appear sharper (shchidithi).

Medical Examination

Although she appeared to be in good health, a medical examination would have revealed the following:

* Mild dehydration.

* Presence of ketones in the blood (ketosis).

* Electrolyte imbalance.

* Internal effects of severe sleep deprivation.

The doctor who examined her should have said this...

There are some examples of humans surviving without food and water alone.

Julian Koepke: Survived 11 days in the Amazon jungle Survived 11 days on water alone.

Yossi Ginsberg: Survived three weeks in the Amazon on mental fortitude and water.

Mauro Prosperi: Survived nine days in the Sahara desert on hydration.

Steven Callahan: Survived 76 days at sea on rainwater. Such stories have inspired movies like ‘Jungle’, ‘127 Hours’, “Cast Away” and “Life of Pi”. So a case like Sharanya’s is medically impossible. She had the support of water, the cool air and the hormonal struggle within her body must have kept her strong. The combined effect of all these is the reason why she came back safe and sound even after 3-4 days. Sharanya’s forest stay is a medical truth among many myths. The secret behind her safety is not a miracle, but the physiological activity of the indomitable spirit of man.
