That was 25 years after his fast, but there have been other cases with complications

E.g. one lady (1st case in the lnk below) who fasted for 4 months ended up in the hospital for 3 weeks with cardiac arrhythmias and they also found her heart tissue muscles were scared and filled with holes (I believe thats what vacuolated means)

I'm a fan of a 7 day prolonged fast, but not for anything longer
