The F. X. Mayr cure is a naturopathic cure which aims at the rehabilitation of the intestines and is named after its founder, Franz Xaver Mayer.
The F. X. Mayr cure is based on the assumption that a malnutrition with "difficult to digest" foods, insufficient chewing activity or a one-sided diet with, for example, too much raw food, trigger microbacterial decomposition processes of these insufficiently digested foods in the intestine. As a result, harmful substances are formed in the intestine.
The consequences of these digestive disorders can be meteorism, flatulence, a change in bowel movements and a higher risk of rheumatic diseases.
In accordance with this basic assumption, nutritional suggestions have been developed on the basis of a complete basic diet and a wholefood diet, which must, however, be individually adapted to each patient.
