The VIVAMAYR Principle

The VIVAMAYR philosophy is all about combining modern complementary medicine with traditional diagnostics and therapies according to F.X. Mayr. Once your condition has been treated, proper nutrition combined with exercise and improved mental awareness become the building blocks of your new life. This philosophy and insight about nutrition and regeneration will help shape a healthier lifestyle as you discover yourself on a deeper level. 

"New life begins where ancient wisdom meets modern science."

THERAPY ACCORDING TO DR F.X. MAYR

Medical treatments developed by Dr F.X. Mayr assume we can "become healthy, happy, and more efficient" by temporarily changing our normal diet. Regular (lifelong) fasting leads to greater health by observing specific dietary guidelines and changing eating habits.

THE VIVAMAYR PRINCIPLE

The VIVAMAYR principle was developed on the basis of Modern Mayr Medicine: a unique therapy of disciplined nutritional guidelines combined with modern holistic medicine and complementary procedures including Functional Myodiagnostics (A.K.) and Orthomolecular Medicine. The diagnostic care is supported by appropriate naturopathic applications, resulting in a unique health experience for optimal wellbeing. The core values and methods are continually evaluated and optimised ensuring guests receive the most up-to-date treatments and services.

1. MODERN MAYR MEDICINE

The four principles of Modern Mayr Medicine are designed to 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, trace elements and vitamins. Tuning into your health and well-being is a memorable experience of self-discovery nurtured by optimal medical and exercise in a re-vitalising atmosphere.

2. ORTHOMOLECULAR MEDICINE

Orthomolecular medicine is a complementary medical treatment using individually tailored supplements to treat biochemical imbalances. A variety of minerals, trace elements, vitamins, essential fatty acids, amino acids, plants and vital substances are used to bring harmony back to the system.

3. FUNCTIONAL MYODIAGNOSTICS

Functional Myodiagnostics also known as Applied Kinesiology (muscle testing) is used to determine disorders of the musculoskeletal system, body metabolism and the psyche. A triggered stimulus causes a change in muscle strength and this biofeedback indicates the direction of your prescribed therapy. It is an effective alternative medical diagnostic and therapeutic method.
