This book delves into the remarkable story of Dr. Tanner, a man who emerged from obscurity to capture global attention with his astonishing feat of fasting for forty days. The author chronicles Dr. Tanner's life and motivations, exploring his unconventional beliefs about food and its role in health and disease. Through detailed accounts of Dr. Tanner's two major fasts, one in Minneapolis and the other in New York City, the book examines the physiological and psychological effects of prolonged food deprivation. It also delves into the historical and scientific context of fasting, referencing historical figures and documented cases of individuals surviving for extended periods without food. The book challenges conventional medical wisdom and raises profound questions about the limits of human endurance and the power of the mind over physical needs. Ultimately, it invites readers to reconsider their own relationship with food and contemplate the potential benefits of fasting as a tool for healing and self-discovery.
