Allergies


Allergies and intolerances are modern ailments that affect nearly 25% of the population.

Skin rashes, respiratory and digestive problems are just some of the symptoms that can be experienced.

Allergies are often problematic for conventional western medicine to deal with.

Despite obvious symptoms, allergies cannot always be identified by traditional methods. Allergies are not only genetically inherited, but are often also caused by our lifestyle. Here is where MODERN MAYR MEDICINE comes in: 60 - 70% of our immune system is linked to the digestive system, so that our immunity is determined to a large degree by how healthy our digestive system is.

Food intolerances are often acquired metabolic disorders rather than genetic allergies.

In these cases the digestive system plays a key role. The task of the digestive system is to break down food as fully as possible - a process that is often hindered by our largely unhealthy way of eating. Intolerances are nearly always linked to inflammation and hence to an increased presence of histamine in the body. Histamine also contributes to allergies. 

Old and partially digested food remains lodged in the digestive tract and produces bacteria, fungi or even parasites, which in turn lead to intolerances (dysbiosis). Histamine is also present in food that has been subject to long bacterial maturing processes, for example some well known cheeses and red wines.

Emotional stress also contributes to the development of allergies and intolerances. Stress depletes the body of vital nutrients, and allergy sufferers are often deficient in these same important nutrients. Food intolerances such as fructose intolerance have been linked to depression.

Allergies and food intolerances are an important aspect of MODERN MAYR MEDICINE.

By taking the strain off the digestive system, improving the metabolism and addressing nutrient deficiencies, we can successfully treat these conditions in a relatively short period of time. Even if the offending food has to be avoided for some time, symptoms will quickly recede or at least become bearable.

This is why we prepare an individual nutrition plan for every guest - a major challenge for our chef and his team. However, at Viva, food restrictions do not mean purgatory - you will be delighted at how well you feel as your digestive system recovers and your allergic symptoms improve and disappear.

MODERN MAYR MEDICINE is the ideal treatment programme for anyone suffering from allergies and food intolerances.

This is the support we offer:
  • Applied kinesiology test to check for food intolerances, nutrient deficiencies and dysbiosis
  • Special laboratory testing to identify specific food intolerances, full-blood analysis of nutrient status
  • Elimination of allergens from your personal diet
  • Nutritional consultation and advice on food preparation
  • Individual recommendations for detoxification: lymph treatments, hyperthermia, electrolysis baths, detoxifying massages, individual nutrient status therapy.
Dr. Stossier will conduct comprehensive allergy tests to determine all your allergies and treat them systematically.
