The approach at VIVAMAYR

Modern Mayr Medicine at VIVAMAYR combines the century-old F.X. Mayr method with contemporary complementary medicine and scientific diagnostics. The comprehensive initial examination, including blood tests and check-ups, serves as the starting point for completely individualized treatment plans. The principle is all about combining modern complementary medicine with traditional diagnostics and therapies.

The core treatment follows four fundamental principles: Destress, Cleanse, Train and Substitute. In other words, the entire organism requires rest, specifically the digestive system, followed by detoxification, training in proper chewing, and supplementing with individually prescribed minerals. This systematic approach prioritizes gut health as the foundation for overall wellness, using specialized diets, manual therapies, and targeted supplementation.

VIVAMAYR's method addresses the root causes of health issues through intensive digestive system rehabilitation.

The nutrition at VIVAMAYR

The Core Nutrition Protocol centers around intensive digestive training and cleansing. The VIVAMAYR Epsom salt is highly water binding and stimulates bile flow. In the right solution with water, it has a strong cleansing effect on the intestinal mucosa and the liver-bile tract. This is taken every morning, often combined with Base Powder containing sodium hydrogen carbonate, calcium carbonate, potassium citrate, magnesium citrate to alkalize the system.

The Daily Food Structure involves carefully selected foods designed to rest the digestive system while training proper eating habits. Each program includes specially prepared spelt bread (often day-old to make it harder and promote chewing), alkaline vegetable broths, and light dinners that are minimal to allow overnight digestive rest. A key component of the Mayr Method includes chewing every bite of food between 40 to 60 times, which is central to the retraining process.

Additional Therapeutic Elements include the use of hot water bottles on the abdomen during rest periods and sleep to support digestive function and relaxation. The entire approach emphasizes alkaline cuisine based on Dr. F.X. Mayr's principles with personalized nutrition plans, where each element serves both cleansing and training purposes rather than simply providing nutrition.
