As you should be, so do your own research, hopefully before a disease shows up and the forces around you (doctors, friends, family) push you towards mainstream treatment options that at best will put you on a lifelong symptom prevention regime instead of actually fixing the underlying cause of whatever "disease" they say you have. Modern medicine invented thousands of names diseases, when all it is is your body becoming acidic and manifesting this terrible state in any sensitive part of your body, hence the naming of diseases begins. It's like cancer. There are no a hundred different types of cancer. That's marketing. Just like 10 types of Macbooks.

Unfortunately the app I'm using to browse HN does not provide a Vote down button. Are you serious? Do you seriously believe that in an organism as complex as us, all the infinite ways it can fail boil down to a single catchphrase? Do you even know what the scientific method is?

  Why is that unfortunate? What would clicking a downvote button achieve? I appreciate that instead you are taking the time to make a comment. To your point, life (and by extension, us humans) is simpler than you think, and far simpler than "modern medicine" wants you to think it is. I am confident that in your lifetime, though, you will one day look back and say; "Oh yeah that dude from HN mentioned this a few years ago". And I do not base this solely on my own experiences. I have been around fasting as a healing mechanism for much of my adult life and have seen many many lives transformed and saved as a result. Don't take my word for it. Let this be a spark that takes you on your own journey to discover how insane it is that fasting is being kept hidden from the general public.

    > I have been around fasting as a healing mechanism for much of my adult life and have seen many many lives transformed and saved as a result. So, you must have some empirical evidence to share? Otherwise this is just hearsay. > Don't take my word for it. Let this be a spark that takes you on your own journey to discover how insane it is that fasting is being kept hidden from the general public. Come on. Fasting hasn't been hidden from anybody, that's conspiracy theory nonsense. It's a part of major world religions for goodness sake. I do believe that fasting has potentially powerful health benefits, I have myself done multi day fasts, but I think you might need to tone down the rhetoric or provide some compelling evidence to back-up what, on the surface, appear to be very wild claims.
