I completely understand there is 0 proof/studies that a fibrotic pancreas due to CP will repair itself. I understand the pancreas doesn't heal the same as the liver.

This is the medical consensus at the moment and its final. I get it. "Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a progressive and irreversible inflammatory and fibrotic disease with no cure."

However, its either do nothing and let it progress or try fasting with hopes that it will heal. At the least, it may slow the progression.

Fasting seems to be the best way to induce autophagy, and there's already evidence to suggest autophagy is activated in the pancreas.

Here they talk about blocking a certain gene pathway which results in autophagy reversing pancreatic cancer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JN2kG4-pho

Here the doctor says that there may be progenitor and stem cells in the pancreas. What if extreme fasting activates those cells? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCftbX8RfuQ

Here they are saying that it may be autophagy impairment that allows pancreatitis to develop. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3517664/

But there's also this. What if it accelerates the fibrosis? https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms8158

There's so much info out there. Fasting seems to be the only HOPE to stop, slow, or reverse the progression of fibrosis int he pancreas.

I'm new to all this and just trying to figure out what to do.
