News & Specials–Case Report: F.X. Mayr®

Dr. Gerold Honegger: “Ms. Buschor began the F.X. Mayr® cure with us following a stressful period. She had suffered from neurodermatitis since childhood, and in recent months she had been under dermatological treatment for a persistent eczema. Her skin was reddened, severely flaky, and in some areas of the skin folds, there were deep, slightly bleeding fissures. Skin conditions are often a manifestation of poor digestion; thus, I observed a pronounced distended abdomen in the patient, which had pushed the diaphragm upward and was consequently impeding her breathing.”

During the treatment, she was prescribed a diet consisting of easily digestible, non-bloating, and alkaline-rich food combining. In addition to other detoxifying measures, regular abdominal treatments according to the F.X. Mayr® method were also performed. Relaxation techniques and regular exercise sessions were also important.

After brief, easily manageable treatment reactions, the patient felt well, and the course of treatment was uneventful. In addition to her general recovery, the eczema has improved significantly.

At the discharge examination, the abdominal findings showed complete normalization, as did the diaphragmatic line, meaning that tidal volume had also improved—and all this in just 7 days of treatment! The patient felt very refreshed and more energetic. The improvement in her skin rashes brought significant relief. A follow-up visit is scheduled with me again 4 weeks after discharge.”

Today I would like to tell you about my experiences during my F.X. Mayr® cure at the Hotel Hof Weissbad. My name is Ms. Buschor, and I have suffered from neurodermatitis since childhood. For those who don’t know what that is: neurodermatitis is a chronic skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and reddened patches of skin.

In recent months, my neurodermatitis had been particularly bad; I was suffering from an acute flare-up. I had already been under medical treatment for six months—light therapy and cortisone ointments only helped in the short term. I found the constant itching extremely stressful, which in turn worsened the eczema. That is why, following a friend’s advice, I decided to undergo the F.X. Mayr® cure.

As a food lover, I don’t pay much attention to my diet in everyday life, even though I know exactly how to eat healthily. I like to treat myself to something sweet or a glass of wine after a stressful day. It’s a vicious cycle: stress leads to unhealthy eating, unhealthy eating leads to stress, and this in turn worsens the neurodermatitis.

The treatment helped me break out of this cycle and relieve and detoxify my body.

When I began the F.X. Mayr® cure at the Hotel Hof Weissbad on Sunday, I was served the special menu for dinner. I was surprised when beautifully presented dishes were served to me. Despite dietary restrictions, I always ate well—fish, vegetables, soup, and modified light meals were on the menu every day. The kitchen was very flexible and adapted to my personal food intolerances.

I had the choice of whether to eat my meals at the communal table with other guests or to eat entirely on my own. On some evenings, my husband and my mother came by to eat with me. There was no temptation from other guests to eat or drink something unhealthy—on the contrary, I realized that it wasn’t good for me. It really is a matter of attitude.

For me, it was easier to abstain in such a beautiful setting because I had other things to enjoy—for example, the pianist during dinner or a tea from the extensive tea menu. It was also remarkable how courteous and attentive the hotel staff are.

One of the things I also really appreciated was the flexibility in the weekly schedule. During the treatment, I enjoyed various therapies to help my body detoxify: lymphatic drainage, acupressure, and Thai massage contributed to my relaxation and did wonders for my well-being.

The three abdominal treatments were a wonderful experience. The measurements were fascinating, and the changes at the end were clearly visible. The treatments were pleasant, and I could literally feel my intestines starting to work. Dr. Gerold Honegger explained the blood test results very competently and clearly. You can tell he has a vast amount of knowledge, and he took a lot of time to tailor the treatment program specifically to me.

On Thursdays, I took part in a cooking class for F.X. Mayr® spa guests. Despite my existing knowledge of nutrition, I benefited greatly. The nutritionist gave us many helpful tips—he showed us how easy it is to make an alkaline broth using vegetable scraps or to bake spelt bread without yeast. For the appetizer, we enjoyed the alkaline broth with the bread; the main course was fish with vegetables; and for dessert, a banana mousse.

At the end of the treatment, I’m proud that I really paid attention to my diet for two weeks. Even my coworkers noticed the improvement in my skin. I definitely want to carry this motivation into my everyday life—to eat more mindfully, focus on my food, and be present in the here and now.

I definitely plan to undergo this treatment regularly in the future to relieve my body and stay on track with this issue. I am grateful for this experience and can only recommend that everyone try an F.X. Mayr® fasting treatment at Hotel Hof Weissbad at least once. It’s not only good for the body, but also for the soul.
