Yet those who dismiss it continue to dismiss the fact that their lifestyle, including and primarily dietary choices [1], is the leading contributor to their various health ailments and the reason they require life-long drugs that do nothing but suppress various symptoms to create a sense of sustained "good health". And those who do undertake fasting, both to rid themselves of "auto-immune diseases" and other such sciency sounding names, and as a preventative maintenance regimen, are the healthy ones. the unwritten law of HN is quite the opposite - to immediately dismiss and blindly downvote any non-mainstream answers. [1] By "dietary choices" above I refer to any diet that is not 100% organic fruits and vegetables and as little water as possible (you are meant to be getting the vast majority of your water intake from fruits, not stand-alone glasses of water).
