Being a general practitioner, as well as a specialist for nutritional medicine, I am interested not only in treating an illness, but rather in preventing the outbreak of one. There is a Chinese custom which I find intriguing: as long as you are healthy, you pay your doctor. But once you fall ill, you stop paying him, and he has to treat you for free.

I used to advise patients in matters of nutrition when they suffered from ailments such as gastritis, gastrointestinal distress, disorder of lipometabolism, rheumatism, and gout. However, despite my dedication, I repeatedly reached the limits of my abilities, and patients tended not to endure in their cooperation. 

As a result, I began to read up on holistic, preventive medicine. It was then that I discovered the holistic and modern diagnostics and therapy of Dr. F.X.Mayr, and I decided to stick with his teachings. Mayr?Ä?s approach does not concentrate solely on nutrition, but instead focuses on the abdomen. New, modern Mayr-medicine is no longer only limited to the traditional milk and roll approach, but includes modern findings on nutrition.
I quickly realized that Dr. Mayr?Ä?s postulate was correct: one should treat the digestive track before treating anything else. Nutritional treatment, such as mere calorie-counting, cannot succeed if the condition of the patient?Ä?s digestive track is not taken into account.

It is not only crucial to advise each person individually, but also to account for their digestive track?Ä?s condition. This realization was what I had been looking for: take care of the body?Ä?s ?Ä?furnace?Ä? (clean it and get rid of its grime), and figure out which furnace requires which kind of fuel. If you do that, the furnace will function a lot longer. The positive effects of such treatment extend to other organs as well, such as liver, gallbladder, lungs, and the brain.

I was also intrigued by Mayr?Ä?s unconventional way of examining a patient, which is initially conducted without any technological devices ?Ä? I learned a completely new way of examining my patients!
As a result of my new approach to medicine I downsized my medical practice, because these kinds of thorough diagnostics and therapy require time and devotion. In addition to treating acute cases, I now focus mainly on preventive medicine.
Most of my patients know their bodies better than before, and they usually visit me in time before acute illnesses arise. Others, who initially come to see me for the treatment of chronic diseases, quickly realize that Dr. Mayr?Ä?s holistic approach in combination with conventional Western medicine enriches treatment and prevention of illness.
