This is from the Shaman fellow. He was kind enough to send me some quotes for the website so everyone knows about them.
He says fasting and prayer is the only way to get rid of many of the voices. I think it says the same thing in the bible:
Mark 9:29 (KJV) - “And he said unto them, This kind can by no means cast out but by prayer and fasting.”
This verse highlights the importance of both prayer and fasting in casting out certain kinds of demons. Jesus explicitly states that this particular kind of demon can only be expelled through a combination of prayer and fasting. This passage emphasizes the significance of spiritual disciplines, such as fasting, in conjunction with prayer, in order to effectively overcome demonic oppression.
Here are the quotes from the Shaman:
Quotes from mystics and sages regarding the power of fasting.
Just wanted to add these quotes, I've got way more but these should be sufficient for your website.
I hope these will be a blessing to you, and I cannot stress enough the importance of fasting against not only demons but also diseases.
The denial of the false self (evil inclination) along with it's many superficial unholy desires is a blessing to the neshama (higher essence/soul).

Hi,
praying seems to work step-by -step. As pastor Adan also says; the healing-word, originally means "healing as / by theraphy", so it is a process. This is why I also engourage people to keep on praying out loud, in the name of Jesus, for a long period of time. Until the breakthrough happens. Don't give up.
But, yes for my son. Now, he finally opened up a little bit more. So, it seems he has seen shadow people also. At least as a young kid 5- 13 years old. He said during sleeping and also during the night time when being awake. Not at the day time. Jerry & Sherry you are both with experience of these things, how…
Thanks Jerry!
Yes, I agree with this. Recently, my family—and mostly I—have started practicing prayer and commanding the spirits of infirmity and demons, trying to cast them out from a family member who has suffered from severe OCD and schizophrenia. He used to hear voices and probably still does a little bit, at least a bad ocd is still there. I’ve been doing this consistently for 3-4 weeks now, and I am committed to not giving up until a breakthrough happens. I am hoping within a year or 6 months the brakethrou happens, and the demons leave. I believe in this really, cause I chose to believe more strongly now i Jesus. Because of this terrible situation my family member has been…
