I have hypertrophic scars, which are raised red scars where I have had previous wounds, acne, cuts, insect bites, and etc. They are mainly on my shoulders, and I have heard that fasting may be able to reduce or remove them. I have read that fasting will make my body begin to breakdown dead and scar tissues. I was planning on doing a juice fast for weight loss prior to this knowledge, but in researching for this I stumbled upon that idea. I have yet to find any indepth articles on this subject, nothing more than a sentence here and there. I have found that systemic enzymes help break down fibrous tissue such as scars and has been used to treat cystic fibrosis. I am unable to find any information on what fruits and vegetables contain these enzymes. I believe them to be bromelain, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and papain. I know pineapples are supposed to contain bromelain, and I believe that is the main enzyme which will help me. Does anyone have any information on this at all? any specific fruits or vegetables I should try to include in my juices? any help at all is appreciated
