Relieve other ailments: allergies, asthma, rheumatism, sinusitis, eczema, constipation, digestive problems, liver disease, etc.

Disadvantages
Fasting for therapeutic purposes is subject to controversy. Some health experts denounce a health hazard or at least strongly advise not practice with the assistance and supervision of a doctor or a nutritionist. Supposed to eliminate toxins from the body, many specialists believe that it is better to prefer a diet high in dietary fiber instead (especially because fasting causes the creation of waste associated with the burning of reserves of protein and fat) .
Food deprivation has real limits. The human body young and healthy, can support a complete fast, but not excluding taking drink for a long time, up to three months (as evidenced by the history of prisoners of 9 Prison Cork, Ireland in 1920 who had fasted for 94 days, there was also that of Bobby Sands died in Belfast 5 May 1981 after having engaged strike back without hunger March 1) if the person is in good health and well fed when starting to fast. Physiology adapts quickly mobilizing internal reserves, but fast enough (on average after 3 to 4 weeks), fasting may involve significant risks, especially towards the end, the heart rhythm. Medical monitoring is vital at least from the 4th week (more or less according to health status, conditions of deprivation and nature reserves at the start).
