  10. Protocol • Examination by a panel of 3 doctors daily • Examination by experts at least once every 5th day • The project was not done with an intention to prove or disprove an individual but to create an opening of a new dimension in science

  11. Protocol The project was to be terminated if: • The reports of investigations crossed the predetermined safe range • When it seemed that no further information would be available by prolonging the project • At no cost, project was to be prolonged for the sake of records • At no cost, safety, dignity and privacy of Mr. Jani was to be endangered

  12. Protocol Prahladbhai Jani refused for any invasive procedures like IV Injections, IV Dyes or IV Fluids. So, investigations were restricted to non-invasive procedures only.

  13. Protocol • The project was to be carried out for 7 days to begin with, but would be extended as far as possible, till criteria 1 and 2 of termination were satisfied. • A panel of doctors used to meet/discuss daily or on alternate day for the length of project, to discuss daily progress, need for alteration in the protocol of investigations if any, and plan further strategies.
