He believed in a "body-felt salvation," an early 20th century mid-western term for physical healing, wherein the fire of the Holy Spirit was fully applied to a person in a spiritual sense, would by faith protect the individual from all sickness, and even exhaustion through prayer and fasting as many Christians have claimed.

Ehret claimed that pus and mucus-forming foods were the cause of human disease, [12] "schleimlose" (slime-free) foods were the key to human health, [13] [14] and "fasting (simply eating less) is Nature's omnipotent method of cleansing the body from the effects of wrong and too much eating."
Christ healing the paralytic at Capernaum by Bernhard Rode 1780. Jesus heals the paralytic at Capernaum (Galway City Museum, Ireland) Jesus heals the man with palsy by Alexandre Bida (1875) Healing the paralytic at Capernaum is one of the miracles of Jesus in the synoptic Gospels (Matthew 9:1–8, Mark 2:1–12, and Luke 5:17–26).
In this verse Jesus moves on the third important form of Jewish worship: fasting. Fasting was an important part of piety in this period. All Jews were expected to fast on major holidays, such as the Day of Atonement, but some far more often, sometimes twice a week. Jesus' views on fasting parallels his views of other forms of worship.
Jesus compares himself to a doctor to show that, as a doctor fights disease by working with the sick, so Jesus must go to sinners in order to help them overcome their sins. Jesus had earlier announced that his mission was a call to repentance in Mark 1:14–15. The Oxyrhynchus Gospels 1224 5:1-2 also record this episode of "dining with sinners".
Fasting (verses 16–18) is Jesus' third example of 'pious deeds', [1] after almsgiving (verses 2–4) and prayer (verses 5–6). [2] The previous verse attacked how the hypocrites made a show of fasting and made everyone around them aware of their pious suffering. In this verse Jesus counsels his followers to hide any discomfort.
