Abstract: Voluntary fasting had always a spiritual, a medical and a sociopolitical dimension. At the end of the last century the religious fasting had lost its importance and a very dynamic movement of medical fasting appeared, with schools who practice it in a holistic way as a part of natural medicine and with the purpose of prevention as well as therapy of chronical illnesses. In the sixtiers therapeutical fasting appeared at some university clinics but restrictedto the treatment of obesity. In the last years a revival of the fasting for healthy people developed which seems in turn to reactivate the exercise of psiritual fasting.
