Viva-Mayr Clinic Trip Day 2

Had a good night. Didn’t forget to prepare my liver pack. This should be done every evening before bed. Place a damp cold cloth over the liver area, then a hot water bottle, then a warm dry cloth. Get in bed and go to sleep. If possible, read some eva mattress reviews and cull the best mattress according to your need. This way, you can rest assured that your beauty sleep woudn’t be disturbed. The cold cools down the temperature of the tissues over the liver, and the warmth heats it up. This improves circulation to the liver and helps ‘drain’ away any toxicity.

Got up at 7am, swallowed my Epsom Salts and Viva Base Powder mix, and jumped in the shower. Got an 8am massage for an hour, then Consulation with Dr. Stossier.

Breakfast this morning was a boiled egg, with spelt bread, a delicious sheep cheese with herbs, and malted coffee. All organic of course.  Lunch was dry spelt bread, with a vegetable soup and fresh herbs. Not a lot, but very filling.

Off to try some nordic walking now.

Did almost 2 hours of nordic walking in the forest around the Viva-Mayr Clinic. I must admit I could never see the point of nordic walking, but now having done it, I can. Walking obviously exercises your muscles below the waist, but when you use the poles, the muscles above your waist are exercised too, especially the arms and shoulders.  The forest was so quiet and peaceful and the higher we walked up the mountain, the further into the mist we went.

Came back to the Clinic, jumped in the sauna and steam room for 30 minutes or so to warm up and relax, then off to dinner. What a feast. Dry buckwheat bread and a clear vegetable broth. I am on what is called the ‘Mild Cleansing Diet’, to give my digestive system a complete rest to allow the rest of my organs to recover and strengthen. I also have to drink minimum of 3 litres of water daily, take hot and cold showers in the morning and use a dry skin brush.

I have to drink saline (alkalising) waters daily and take epsom salts every morning.  These substances gently cleanse the digestive system and remove the food residues and faecal impaction. I can have enemas and colon hydrotherapy treatments if needed. The whole point of the therapy here at Viva is to remove the toxic ‘sludge’ that collects in our organs and bodily tissues, to restore vitality and energy.

I will be having the manual abdominal massage treatment tomorrow, and every day whilst I am here. This is an extremely important part of the therapy and is aimed at breaking down adhesions in the intestines, and stimulating the blood circulation. I am also scheduled to have a mineral infusion, a herbal bath, a foot bath, the Roeder nasal reflex therapy. This is wonderful for sinus problems. I’ve had it before when I came to Viva in 2008 and 2009, and it is one of my favourite treatments. Will report on it tomorrow.

Time is now 8pm. I am going to prepare my alkalising powders ready to drink and my liver pack, then off to bed.  I’m up at 7 in the morning for breakfast, and I’ve been warned by Dr. Stossier that I need to get lots of rest. I am not even allowed to go in the gym for the time being.
