The Story of Martha Naschs Strange Affliction
b'
Jodi Nasch Decker, Ed. D. is the granddaughter of Martha Nasch: \\u201cThe Woman Who Never Ate, Drank or Slept for Seven Years.\\u201d She is also (you guessed it) my mother, my guest said.
After noticing something strange from a secret medical procedure in 1927, St. Paul, Minnesota, Martha Nasch's doctor claimed she just had a "case of nerves." With a signature from her adulterous husband, Martha was committed against her will to the asylum. She spent seven-years in the Minnesota hospital during the Great Depression and tried to escape twice. Martha's poems from behind bars include shocking eyewitness accounts of patient treatment and a long-suffering adoration for her only child, now being raised alone by her deceiving spouse. When not a soul believed Martha's story, she sought an explanation for her mysterious condition that led her to a spiritual answer for the mystifying curse. Would her findings make her a metaphysical guru of the Breatharian lifestyle, or would she become the laughingstock of her Depression-era family?\\xa0
