Let's not go too far.

The science on fasting as a diabetes treatment seems legitimate (even if early/still evolving), but claiming it cures other "incurable diseases" seems unsupported (particularly if you don't specify WHAT diseases).

Weight loss in general helps combat some other illnesses like high blood pressure, and while fasting might be a means to that end (i.e. weight loss) I've not read studies that looked at if fasting is more beneficial than other forms of weight loss.

Heck, even the fasting diabetes thing is very young science, I wouldn't call even that conclusive yet.

You can call it what you want. I've been in the field for 20 years and have seen many hundreds of people cure so-called lifelong diseases. But sure, wait on the medical world to admit it, because they have all the incentive in the world NOT to do it if they want to keep the money flowing.

Call what what I want? You haven't even said what diseases...

Plus I'm a little confused by your terminology, you say you've been "in the field" for 20 years but then refer to the medical world like it is a third party. Which field is that you've been in?
