Fasting is believed to have a religious context and it was demonstrated in several biblical accounts （The Bible. Samuel 12：16-18; Psalms 35：13）, which include records on the effect of fasting. In 1820, fasting was applied as a clinical therapy by Dr. Otto Buchinger I in Germany, who also set up the first fasting-based hospital in the South of Hannover and the hospital remains working now. Fasting therapy is primarily the act of abstaining from some or all food for a defined period. Both absolute fast and partially fast are normally unlimited to water. Fasting is one of a popular natural therapies in Europe because of the religious context, the believable efficacy and safety.
