The only time I have ever intentionally fasted was prior to blood work where fasting was required. I also note that when ill, the body naturally fasts. Who can be hungry with pain, fever, chills, etc.? Other than the body forcing me to fast I see no reason for it.....

I realize that it could have been a hoax. However, for whatever it is worth myself and a number of people who at the time followed the thread throughout concluded that it probably was true. Regardless, it still drives home the point of the potential danger in (unsupervised) fasting when facing a serious medical condition.
