Myself, along with my parents and brother visited this Isha foundation - Dhyanalingam in Coimbatore during our Guruvayurappan, Thrissur, Coimbatore tour in 2008, while I was in India on my 1st yearly vacation.

What a lovely Ashram it is!!! Amazing. What a serene surrounding!!

We really enjoyed the sumptuous verities of dishes as well in their MAHAMUDRA Restaurant - an all vegetarian restaurant based on Ayurvedic principles of eating.

Dear VR ji,

I will let you know a little secret.

When I was a kid between age 6 to 8, I used to love to bite glass!

I would drink from glass(the tall thin types which come with thinner glass) and I would bite off some portion and spit it out.

I damaged lots of my mums collection of crockery.

My parents used to panic each time I did that and checked my mouth for glass fragments but I was such a pro that I never sustained any injury.

So whenever my parents took me out they will tell the host of any house to only give me a plastic/metal cup to drink in!

I really wonder why I used to bite glass?? God knows why??


Now coming to your question:

Never seen a case of a glass tongue before.

Michel Lotito (June 15, 1950 - June 25, 2007[SUP][citation needed][/SUP]) was a French entertainer, born in Grenoble, famous for deliberately consuming indigestible objects. He came to be known as Monsieur Mangetout ("Mister Eats All").[SUP][1][/SUP]
His performances involved the consumption of metal, glass, rubber and other materials. He disassembled, cut-up, and consumed bicycles, shopping carts, televisions, a Cessna 150,[SUP][2][/SUP] and other items. The Cessna 150 took roughly two years to be "eaten", from 1978 to 1980. He began eating unusual material as a teenager around 16 years of age and performed publicly from 1966.
Lotito claimed not to suffer ill effects from consuming the materials, even after consuming materials usually considered poisonous. When performing, he consumed around 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of material daily, preceding it with mineral oil and drinking considerable quantities of water during the meal.[SUP][3][/SUP] He said, however, that bananas and hard-boiled eggs made him sick. It is estimated that between 1959 and 1997, Lotito "had eaten nearly nine tons of metal."[SUP][4][/SUP]
Lotito died of natural causes on June 25, 2007, ten days after his 57th birthday. He is buried at Grenoble Cemetery.
Lotito's method for eating all of this metal was to break it into small pieces before attempting to eat it. He then drank mineral oil and continued to drink water while swallowing the metal bits. This acted as a lubricant to help the metal slide down his throat. He also had no problem "passing" his unusual diet.[SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP]

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food. [/FONT]

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

Even t he wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body. [/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT] [FONT=&quot]

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells.
