One of the participating physicians was the Ahmedabad neurologist Sudhir&nbsp;V. Shah, who examined several similar cases in the past: Ellen Greve (Jasmuheen)<ref>according statement on private homepage Sudhir Shah</ref> and Colcata engineer Hira Ratan Manek. Nothing is known about Shah's examination of Greve/Jasmuheen. Ellen Greve also claimed „not to eat“, but she was seen eating several times and close associates of her's confirm this. A test performed together with Australian&nbsp;TV failed after five days of fasting and had to be stopped by the physician present. Hira Ratan Manek also claims never to eat. He is travelling around the world and often stays in Canada and the USA for longer periods where he sells DVDs and offers speeches about his „inedia“. Manek seems to live from monies earned on DVDs and lectures on his alleged inedia. However, like Jasmuheen, Manek has been seen eating several times and was successfully filmed when visiting an Indian restaurant in San Francisco, a behaviour clearly betraying his followers believing in his inedia. Neurologist Shah, who examinated Manek, declared that he checked Maneks abilities and found no explanation for his supposed inedia. There is no examination known of Sudhir Shah showing anything else but a „success“ of inedia or ''inexplicable facts''. Both Hira Ratan Manek and Jani are followers of Indian Jainism (Jani: probably *). The Indian jain monk Sri Sahaj Muni Maharaj also claims that he did not eat over a period of one year (in 1995, according to other sources only 211&nbsp;days). Periods of fasting are an important issue in Jainism and it is common in India for Jains and Hindus, sometimes for up to eight days, without any adverse affects, as part of their religious worship.

According to the group of examinating physicians, Jani could not eat or drink during that period, had no defecation and passed no urine. Some urine was sonographically found in his bladder (about 0.1&nbsp;litres, Jani was informed about it and the urine later disappeared). On an MRT picture, some stool can be seen. Some of the results of the examination remain secret. Nothing was told to the public about his body weight. Also, at least one entry of blood sugar data has been deleted from a (private) website showing the blood values of Jani/Mataji.
