How The Mayr Cure Can Help With Parkinson's Disease

What is the Mayr Cure and how does it work?

The Mayr Cure is a refreshing, non-faddish approach to long-term good health and wellness. Named after the Austrian scientist Franz Xavier Mayr, its philosophy holds that digestive health is key and that many health disorders and illnesses originate in the gut – spanning everything from depression and mood disorders, to deep-rooted inflammatory conditions.

The gut-brain connection: Gut health and its link to neurodegenerative conditions

The brain-gut axis is the direct link between your central nervous system (CNS) and your digestive system. This bidirectional communication pathway influences:

1. Cognitive Function
2. Memory and Learning
3. Mood and Mental Health
4. Immune Function

The gut is home to trillions of bacteria that help regulate processes in your body, including those in the brain. A healthy gut microbiome can reduce inflammation, improve brain plasticity, and even fight off neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease.

Parkinson’s treatment at Park Igls and Lanserhof Tegernsee: The Neuro Fit and Brain Health programmes

The Neuro Fit prorgamme at Park Igls in Austria and the Brain Health programme at Lanserhof Tegernsee in Germany tackles gut health and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s from their source using a combination of tailored treatments with positive results.

The combination of treatments within the Neuro Fit programme at Park Igls can lead to long-term improvements in mobility and coordination. The diet plan helps to cleanse and stabilise the gut, coaching sessions teach patients coping strategies for everyday life, Feldenkrais® sessions develop new movement patterns to be explored and learned, and deep-tissue massages relax the muscles, enhance mobility and improve sleep.

FAQs with Park Igls’ Dr Peter Gartner on Mayr Medicine and Parkinson’s

How does the Neuro Fit programme work?

Modern Mayr Medicine’s regenerative effect on the neuro-intestinal system combined with targeted physiotherapeutic treatment, one-to-one neuropsychological coaching, deep-tissue massages and Feldenkrais® improves flexibility and coordination, teaches new ways of moving and offers strategies for making day-to-day life easier.

At what stage of Parkinson’s can the Neuro Fit programme improve symptoms? And when does it cease to be helpful?

Sustained improvement can only be expected in the early stages. Unfortunately, improvement is unlikely for advanced forms of neurodegenerative diseases.

Can the Neuro Fit programme and intestinal cleansing in general also prevent degenerative diseases of the nervous system?

Based on current scientific studies, I can only say: absolutely!

Is there a test to determine the likelihood of developing Parkinson’s disease?

A number of symptoms may suggest the early signs of Parkinson’s disease. These include constipation, olfactory disorders, sleep disorders, inner agitation and, of course, the classic neurological changes in posture, movement, hand-writing and voice. Ultimately, a neurologist would need to be consulted for a clear diagnosis.

What can Parkinson’s patients do to help relieve their symptoms?

There are numerous holistic Parkinson’s therapies and natural treatments for Parkinson’s disease, depending on whether the focus of the symptoms lies in the motor, vegetative or psychological area. Our therapists can provide more information. Also, there are many self-help groups and organisations that can be useful, including www.parkinsons.org.uk
