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?
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.
So, you must have some empirical evidence to share? Otherwise this is just hearsay.

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.
