Agreed. Once one has gained some proficiency at fasting, a lot of things in life come a bit easier, like delaying gratification or staying calm during stressful times. BTW, I reached out because I actually had tonsillitis about 20 years ago and it was recommended that I have them taken out, but I was able to save them with a 10 day active fast. Did your fasting help your tonsillitis at all? Or were they so far gone it was too late? I think I caught mine just in the nick of time and I still have them to this day in my 50’s.
