Do organs benefit from having a break?

NO they dont. This is wrong and dangerous. Fasting puts extra stress on your organs.

I'm also wandering. My organ is having a really long break these days, not sure if it's even healthy.

I found this, although I am not asserting that the author is an authority, nor asserting any credence:

The national library of medicine isn’t quite as extreme as the suggest that certain cancers are prevented, but does indicate support of fasting having positive outcomes for human systems:

A comment below states some cancers risks have a great increase from obesity, so the claim of intermittent fasting reducing cancer risk may to have some credence.
