Fasting with the Franz-Xaver-Mayr therapy

The F.X. Mayr therapy, in some countries know as the "milk-bread diet", is based on the principles of sparing, cleansing and training and strives for a sustainable intestinal rehabilitation . The diet made popular by Rebel Wilson, is suitable for those who, despite fasting, do not want to go without food completely. To reflect their eating habits, participants eat particularly slowly and chew very thoroughly. This method is primarily carried out to benefit the body through detoxification and cleansing. The purification process has a positive effect on the metabolism and digestion, as well as being an important part of health care. The Mayr diet is also great for weight loss, as it helps people to change their relationship with food, making permanent weight loss a breeze.

Background of the Mayr method

The so-called F.X. Mayr cure method was founded by the physician Franz Xaver Mayr (1875-1965). When the medical doctor had successfully completed his studies in Graz, he devoted himself entirely to the intestines. He was already firmly convinced at that time that a large proportion of illnesses were related to an imbalanced intestinal flora. During the First World War, for example, he recognized that sparing the intestines by fasting had a positive effect on our organism; because those soldiers who fasted under duress regained their health much faster. Thus, the main aim of the Mayr method quickly became clear: intestinal rehabilitation. Today we know for sure: The intestine is the center of our immune system and a healthy intestine is the key to health and beauty.

Milk and bread roll

The milk-bread diet

At that time, milk and bread were fixed components of the original F.X. Mayr method. The nutrient content of the milk at that time counteracted the danger of a one-sided, nutrient-poor diet, and the bread roll was used to practice proper chewing and mindful eating.

Nowadays, wheat flour and cow's milk products are no longer well tolerated by many people. In addition, milk can contain harmful substances, which is why more and more people are choosing organic fresh milk for the Mayr Method therapeutic or vegan milk alternatives. Wheat rolls are also often avoided nowadays. Since wheat has been genetically modified, spelt rolls or, if necessary, gluten-free alternatives are often chosen. In principle, any kind of reduced calorie diet is possible, depending on individual tolerance.

Procedure of the Mayr method

At this point we would like to introduce you to the procedure of the fasting retreat according to Mayr. The terms sparing, cleansing, training and substitution play a decisive role. What it is about, you will learn now.

Purification through drinking

Rest

An important part of the F.X. Mayr retreat is rest. If the bowel is over-strained, it must be spared. But not only the intestines, but the entire body, as well as mind and soul should rest to achieve a holistic regeneration.

Cleansing

In addition to being gentle to the body, mind, and soul, cleansing during the Mayr method is also indispensable to promote the cleansing process of the intestines. Toxins should be eliminated by taking a bitter salt solution every day. The ultimate goal is to restore the self-cleaning powers of the intestines, which are disrupted in many cases as a result of an incorrect diet and lifestyle. At this point, it is also important to ensure a sufficient fluid intake, which significantly supports the purification process. Enemas, liver wraps or the ingestion of an alkaline powder can also help to ensure the success of the cleansing and the entire therapy.

Cooking training with F.X. Mayr therapy

Training

The maintenance or further optimization of the achieved state of health after the therapy is only made possible through training. Thus, the person fasting during the Mayr therapy should learn everything about Mayr's diet in order to be able to apply it in everyday life afterwards. Since healthy digestion begins in the mouth, a large focus lies here on the correct chewing. In addition, it is about mindful eating, Mayr clinics will cover topics such as:

  • Recognition of the feeling of satiety
  • Excessive eating
  • Emotional eating
  • Eating out of boredom
  • Eating in the hectic everyday life
  • Healthy drinking habits

Substitution

Substitution is a rather younger aspect of the Mayr fasting. Some people suffer increasingly from deficiencies in vitamins, trace elements and minerals. For this reason, patients in many Mayr Hotels are provided with vital substances which also promote detoxification and have a positive effect on health.
