However good our diet, our bodies can't reap the benefits if our digestive system isn't working efficiently. That's the sensible concept behind the Mayr Cure, a digestion-cleansing plan devised around 1920 by Dr Franz Xaver Mayr.The modern Mayr medicine concept is a holistic approach to preventive treatment, the correction of eating habits and general improvements to health. It is based on the discovery that the optimum function of our intestine is the basis for sound health. The ultimate goal of the Mayr Cure is to improve one's health through digestive detoxification.
