I certainly hope it sticks around. There are some very high placed people supporting it with high placed detractors as well. It's not rocket science and has been used effectively for thousands of years. Every living creature on earth has this ability with one thing in common, you have to stop eating to engage it. I personally have arrested three "incurable" autoimmune diseases so I don't have to be convinced of its efficacy. People I know around me listen politely to my pitch for fasting and then choose not to investigate. So far I have been to the funerals of two of them. Both had diseases that are easily managed using autophagy. Your skepticism is welcome. At least when you go your way on to other things today it will be in the back of your mind and when you or someone you love is strickened with an "incurable" disease you will remember it and save a life or at least give it a longer time on the planet's surface.
