DQueen, the two major reasons people live longer today is certainly not because of medicine for the most part. The main reason we live longer today is because "accidental death" has been cut down dramatically in the past 200 years and nutrition. People's bone structure use to be a lot weaker because of lack of calcium causing them to way down on their organs.
I am a firm believer in the Bible. It has never let me down and is full of truth. Jesus, Moses, David, etc. fasted for weeks. It tells us in Matthew to pray, give, and to fast. The average fast in the Bible was 3 weeks. Actually, that is were the term "fast" comes from. We suppose to pray as we fast. The major thing I have done wrong in my fasting is to tell people about it. The Bible states that we should keep it to ourselves as much as possible.
