The right food for healing and maintaining health

People with gastrointestinal problems often have similar fates: they consult various doctors until they have undergone the many blood and ultrasound examinations, gastro- and colonoscopies, abdominal MRI and CT scans, i.e. everything that modern medicine has to offer.

But what if the conclusion is that everything is fine? Is the affected person therefore a hypochondriac or is he/she so psychologically overburdened that his/her mental suffering is finding its way through flatulence and diarrhea?

A precise medical history and examination according to Dr. F.X. Mayr’s criteria is the first step in the right direction. Here it is important to clarify the current functional state of the digestive tract and when and in what context the changes occurred. Have antibiotics been taken in the past (even if a long time ago), is a pathological change in the gastrointestinal flora with the consequence of a fungal infestation to be expected?

Food intolerances can be the cause of mucosal changes as well as the result of a disturbed intestinal barrier and thus exacerbate the condition.

It is therefore essential to identify foods as potential irritants and, if necessary, to switch to compatible, non-irritating energy sources. In addition, I use the Cytolisa IgG antibody test.

Efficient gastrointestinal regeneration can only be achieved through Mayr’s criteria of cleansing the intestines, protecting the digestive tract with selected, well-tolerated foods, training through conscious chewing and the individually necessary substitution of vitamins, minerals, fats and amino acids. Exercise, correct breathing and personal mental hygiene are further building blocks for healthy ageing.
