The F.X. Mayr detox cure experience at the BLEIB BERG Retreat

The F.X. Mayr cure requires discipline. You can tell that already during the preparation: Already one week before the start of the treatment you should largely do without dinner – alcohol, coffee, and sugar anyway. 

BLEIB_BERGHeathRetreat-17

Epsom Salt (Bittersalt)

To do this, drink a teaspoon of Epsom salt every day on an empty stomach, diluted in a glass of water – preferably in small sips. When the cure really gets going, a fasting diet and special body treatments by doctors and therapists are added. These are the basic building blocks of the cure that the Austrian Franz Xaver Mayr developed more than 100 years ago.

A New Mild derivative diet

From his former milk and bread diet, the modern so-called mild derivative diet has now developed. The menu remains monotonous: the recipes are based on the food combining principle with carbohydrate-reduced food. 

All dishes should be easy to digest, low in fat, and not irritating. “The monotony affects the taste sensors, so you can taste better again and needless salt and sugar. Everything tastes more intense. 

BLEIB_BERGHeathRetreat-16

Drinking

As a BLEIB BERG guest, you should drink up to four liters of liquid a day – only mild herbal teas, light vegetable broth, and still water.

BLEIB_BERGHeathRetreat-18

F.X. Mayr Cure Treatment schedule

During the initial consultation, the BLEIB BERG doctor puts together a treatment plan with treatment recommendations from the wide range of therapies on offer. 

F.X. Mayr Cure Daily Routine – Morning Gym

Every morning begins with a relaxed cardio and strength training session to support circulation and muscles. To warm up, you jump on big gymnastic balls while sitting to the beat to pop sounds. This is followed by gentle floor exercises and relaxation exercises. 

After training, you grab the body brush and scrub all parts of your body, starting with your feet and working towards your heart, before you go into the contrast shower. 

Liver compress

A liver compress is part of the treatment plan every day before lunch & dinner. It is said to support the liver in its detoxification work. A hay pillow is placed on the right side just above the rib cage and a hot thermophor is placed on top.

BLEIB_BERGHeathRetreat-35

F.X. Mayr Cure Level Stages & F.X. Mayr Cure Meal Plans

Depending on what your body needs, the F. X. Mayr therapy can be divided into 3 stages. The intensity of the fasting experience is discussed with the doctor during the initial diagnosis. So every guest in the BLEIB BERG will find their optimal level of nutrition.

Chewing Aids

Depending on what is needed, the fasting guest is given chewing aids such as rye bread, buckwheat toast, or spelled flatbread in connection with milk, sheep yogurt, or tea according to Dr. FX Mayr accompanied through the fasting cure in the hotel.

LEVEL 1

  • morning and noon: milk or the like * chewing aid
  • in the evening: tea or broth

 

LEVEL 2

  • in the morning: milk or the like * chewing aid * 1 allowance * oatmeal on request
  • at noon: milk or something similar * chewing aid * 1 allowance * base soup or potatoes with curd cheese
  • in the evening: chewing aid * base soup or potatoes with quark

LEVEL 3

  • in the morning: milk or the like * chewing aid * 2 supplements * oatmeal on request
  • lunchtime: starter and choice of two main courses: gentle on the intestines and prepared gently
  • in the evening: chewing aid * base soup or potatoes with quark

Proper chewing

An important part of intestinal cleansing is chewing at meals. Consciously eat slowly and chew each bite about 30 to 40 times – until you feel a sweetish mush in your mouth. Only then do you take a spoonful of milk, yogurt, or porridge, depending on the prescription. In this way, you will learn to thoroughly crush the food in your mouth and feel the natural feeling of satiety in time.

Dynamism & calm

Find your balance. We recommend a balanced mix of exercise, information gathering, and rest. It is therefore important that you allow yourself the time that is exclusively yours. In the middle of idyllic Dobratsch Natural Park, you can combine the FX Mayr cure with quiet walks, with a good book in your room, or with a break in the cozy wellness area. Reward yourself with time for yourself!
