Many people get their info on fasting from drunks in a bar. Like one will say that he fasted for 5 days and almost died. Actually someone on this forum said that. I know a teen girl that did not almost die, but did die crossing the street. She was hit by a drunk driver and was dead before she hit the ground 25 feet away. Then the other drunk will say "my brother was fasting for 3 days and since he was hungry he had a dream that he ate a giant marshmallow. When he woke up, his pillow was gone!"

Many times tinnitus is caused from the hearing being diminished and fasting can help with that. Arnold Ehret had a fasting center in Europe and has cured some cases of blindness and deafness. Ehret is recognized as the founder of naturopathic medicine. He was in his 30s when he had done this and Dr Herbert Shelton was around 5 years old at this time.

Here is a link to the book mentioned above. It is great and a masterpiece on healing with fasting. That is what this MD does. Amazon.com: Fasting and Eating for Health: A Medical Doctor's Program for Conquering Disease (9780312187194): Joel Fuhrman, Neal D. Barnard: Books

The above page has testimonials from 6 MDs about this book. It says "Therapeutic fasting accelerates the healing process and allows the body to recover from serious disease in a dramatically short period of time."

As far as the guy with mental problems, this webpage on fasting has testimonials from 19 MDs and 3 of them are psychiatrists. This webpage says "Dr. Yuri Nikolayev, director of the fasting unit of the Moscow Psychiatric Institute, reported on the use of scientific, therapeutic fasting to successfully treat over 10,000 patients, all suffering from neuropsychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and various neuroses, concluding: "The hunger treatment [as Soviet psychiatrists term fasting] gives the entire nervous system and the brain a rest."
