Your meals
Breakfast
The alkaline muesli according to Wacker®, possibly a glass of freshly squeezed fruit and/or vegetable juice, a glass of smoothie.
In between meals We recommend avoiding snacks between meals. Especially if you want to shed a few pounds. It is more favourable for your metabolism if you take a 4-5 hour break between meals. In an emergency, however, they can help you deal with cravings. However, before you reach for an alkaline snack, pause for a moment: drink something first, e.g. a sip of water or some herbal tea. This usually settles the stomach and you can wait another hour or two before eating.
Lunch
An alkaline starter and a warm alkaline vegetable dish.
Dinner
A vegetable soup and a warm alkaline vegetable dish.
Drinks Drink 2.5 to 3 litres of spring water, still water or
highly diluted herbal teas. Rhythm Please make sure you eat your meals at the same time every day.
Preparation
To ensure that your alkaline fasting cure is a feel-good experience for you right from the start, we recommend the following three days before the start of your alkaline fasting cure
to make preparations:
- Do not drink coffee, black tea, green tea or mate tea
- Do not consume other caffeinated foods such as cola
- Do not drink alcohol
- Do not smoke if possible
- Bring an irrigator for bowel cleansing
You can also purchase accessories for your bowel cleansing (irrigator) from us. If your diet is very high in protein and/or carbohydrates, we also recommend that you increase the amount of fruit and vegetables you eat in the three days before your alkaline fasting programme. This will make the changeover easier for you and you will feel full more quickly during your alkaline fasting programme.
These are merely recommendations to make your alkaline fasting cure as pleasant as possible from day one and to prevent you from suffering from "withdrawal symptoms" in the first few days of your alkaline fasting cure. If it is not possible for you to prepare yourself three days before the start of the alkaline fasting cure, it is of course also possible to arrive without preparation.
If you would like to motivate and prepare for your alkaline fasting cure at home, we recommend the following readings:

Alkaline fasting for diabetes?
Suitability An alkaline fasting cure can be used for diabetes mellitus, both type I
as well as type II, but there are certain prerequisites for this. As a diabetic you should
- are cared for in a specialised diabetology practice
- have completed individual counselling and group training sessions with a qualified diabetes counsellor and attend them regularly
- Check your blood glucose level regularly Under these conditions, you can adjust your insulin requirements or the need for oral antidiabetic drugs to your diet.
Experience with alkaline fasting - the wacker-method® has shown that the insulin dose or the need for oral antidiabetic drugs must be reduced in the first few days in the case of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, both type I and type II. This is particularly true if you, as a diabetic, complete a daily exercise programme during the alkaline fasting cure and do not usually do this so intensively in everyday life. Exercise has been proven to lower blood sugar levels and experience has shown that a 100% alkaline diet also lowers them.
Fructose intolerance fact sheet
What is it? Fructose intolerance is associated with various symptoms. If you experience increased intestinal problems such as pain, bloating, nausea or diarrhoea after eating fruit and vegetable dishes, you may have fructose intolerance.
you may have a fructose intolerance. This means that you cannot digest the fructose contained in many types of fruit and vegetables well. Fructose intolerance is not a lifelong condition, but occurs in conjunction with other food intolerances and can be positively influenced by changing your diet.
Caution Even though fructose is called fruit sugar, it is not only found in fruit. It is also found in household sugar, diabetic products, honey, mayonnaise, ketchup, ready-made sauces, bread, cola, soft drinks, fruit juices, wine, beer and many other products.
Tip: If you are fructose intolerant, you don't have to give up fruit and vegetables. Fructose intolerance is a disordered transport of fructose from the intestine into the blood. The good news is that this transport can be taken over by glucose (dextrose).
This means that if a food that contains fructose also contains sufficient glucose, the glucose takes care of transporting the fructose and generally makes the food more digestible. So if a food contains the same amount or more glucose than fructose, you can assume that it is more tolerable for you.

Histamine intolerance fact sheet
Causes
Digestion Histamine is a substance produced naturally in the body that is also contained in many foods. Histamine can cause allergy-like symptoms, but can also lead to stomach and intestinal disorders, headaches and circulatory problems. Normally, the histamine found in food is broken down by a specific enzyme - diamine oxidase (DAO). If the digestive system and therefore the intestinal mucosa are not functioning properly, this enzyme is inhibited and histamine cannot be broken down. This leads to a vicious circle in the gut and puts a strain on the immune system.
Fermentation Histamine is not only supplied by food, but is also produced in the intestine through fermentation processes. Fermentation processes always occur where food is not chewed and digested properly. The amine content of foods varies greatly and is based on the following processes in food production: fermentation, ripening and long storage. Almost all "matured" foods contain high levels of histamine. Important: Fish should really be eaten fresh, as the histamine content increases with each day of storage.
Most foods containing histamine are acid formers.
Drugs Another possible cause is certain drugs that inhibit or block the enzyme that breaks down histamine.
Foods that contain histamine
Acid formers The following foods contain particularly high levels of histamine:
- Alcohol, especially old wines and red wines, champagne
- Cheese, especially mature cheeses, hard cheeses such as Emmental
and Parmesan, blue cheese, also old Gouda, overripe cheese
Camembert, raw milk cheese
- Chocolate
- Smoked and cured meats, such as salami and ham
- Pork
- Tomato ketchup
- Red wine vinegar
- Spoilt food
Alkaliser
Only a few alkaline foods contain histamine. These include: Aubergines, avocados, strawberries, sauerkraut, spinach and tomatoes. Experience An intolerance always depends on the quantity of the intolerant food. Most histamine-containing foods are acid formers and are therefore not on the menu during an alkaline fasting programme. This reduces the total intake of histamine enormously during an alkaline fasting programme. Experience has shown that small amounts of tomatoes, spinach or other alkaline foods containing histamine are tolerated.
In most cases, there is also an intolerance to milk sugar (lactose) and/or fruit sugar (fructose). An alkaline fasting cure relieves the organism if several intolerances are present, as it is completely lactose-free and low in histamine. For example, if fructose intolerance is also present, foods containing fructose are often better tolerated during an alkaline fasting programme.
Application and movement
Your alkaline fasting cure includes a well-determined selection of treatments
included:
- A relaxation programme (liver wrap or massage) every two days
- An alkaline bath every three days (as a foot bath or in a bathtub)
You will find the exact applications in the services in your offer.
We have deliberately made sure that your alkaline fasting cure does not include too much of a programme. If you feel fit during the alkaline fasting cure, you can go on longer hikes or even day trips in the region. Ask us about alkaline packed lunches.
If you want peace and relaxation above all else and are coming straight from a stressful everyday life, then simply arrive and take a deep breath.
As we do not usually only offer alkaline fasting on fixed dates, it may well be that there are no "like-minded people" in the house during your stay. Nevertheless, our staff are your constant companions during your alkaline fasting cure and are always ready to listen to your questions and requests.
Alkaline fasting success stories
What is that?
Alkaline fasting is not a therapy, but a temporary form of nutrition that we have developed to make it easier for people to switch to a permanently healthy, alkaline-rich and vital substance-rich diet. Nevertheless, in the more than 18 years that we have been helping people with alkaline fasting, we have observed countless positive effects on their health. Diet obviously makes a decisive contribution to health. Weight loss during alkaline fasting - 1 to 4 kilos per week - is more of a side effect, albeit an important one for many people. Here are just a few of the many success stories.
Pollen allergies
Pollen A young woman went on an alkaline fasting programme during the pollen season to shed a few pounds. At the end of the week, she was surprised to find that the hay fever symptoms she had been experiencing had disappeared. When questioned more closely, she told us that she had suffered from allergies since the age of 5. It started with allergies to cat hair and house dust mites. At the age of 6, an allergy test revealed that she was allergic to poplars and various grasses in addition to cat dander and house dust mites.
Desensitisation was then carried out, which over time led to an improvement in the cat hair and house dust mite allergy. However, the pollen allergy continued to be severe with the following symptoms: Itchy and watery eyes, itching in the external auditory canal, itching in the throat, sneezing and swollen nasal and pharyngeal mucous membranes. Bronchial complaints in the form of breathlessness also became increasingly frequent.
After the hay fever symptoms had already stopped after one week of alkaline fasting, she extended her alkaline fasting for a further two weeks and remained symptom-free.
Sinus infections and pollen allergies
Sinuses A 50-year-old woman had suffered from hay fever since the age of 19. She was diagnosed with an allergy to wheat and various other grasses. Her season always began at the end of April and continued throughout the summer.
The symptoms became more pronounced from year to year: itchy eyes, sneezing, runny nose and extreme tiredness. In recent years, she has also had more sinus infections in winter, her nose was constantly blocked and her ear canals were also affected. During such an acute sinus infection, she took part in an alkaline fasting programme. At the same time, she carried out several bowel irrigations, changed her diet after 2 weeks of alkaline fasting to largely follow the 80:20 rule and was delighted that the following pollen season went very smoothly for her. The following autumn she took part in another alkaline fasting cure and reported that many of her other symptoms such as tiredness and constipation had disappeared and that she had maintained her weight - 6 kg less - well. Six months later - in spring and autumn - she took part in another alkaline fasting cure and was delighted to report that the entire season was without any hay fever symptoms. Her digestion was also good and she felt fit. Since then, she has been doing an alkaline fasting programme once a year. After the alkaline fasting programme, she eats lots of fruit and vegetables and walks
Susceptibility to infection
Infections A patient (38 years old) had had hay fever for 26 years, genital warts for 10 years and a house dust mite allergy for 5 years. In the past 2 years, chronic sinusitis and fatigue had been added to this. He complained about his susceptibility to infections, which had reached such proportions that he was hardly free of infections for a whole week. He had already tried various naturopathic therapies - so far without success. Detoxification therapy with naturopathic medication brought him initial relief. After a week of alkaline fasting with a few bowel irrigations, he was amazed to realise that he felt fit and able to perform again. He has not had an infection since. After the alkaline fasting cure, he ate strictly according to the 80:20 rule and as a side effect lost 8 kg in a total of 4 weeks - he was very happy about this "side effect". This motivated him so much that he continues to eat this way even though he is constantly travelling for work.
Migraine and acne
Migraine A woman wanted to try alkaline fasting to lose a few kilos. During the first few days of alkaline fasting she had severe headaches, which we initially attributed to the caffeine withdrawal. The headache lasted longer and turned into a migraine - something she had suffered from for many years, as she later told us. At the end of the alkaline fasting week, she felt much better and promised to make her diet more alkaline. A few weeks later, she reported that her migraines now only rarely flare up slightly and that the longer she eats an alkaline-rich diet, the better she feels.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
PMS This success story makes it clear that hormonal processes in the body can depend significantly on a balanced acid-alkaline balance. A 34-year-old woman, who had always suffered from massive congestion and breast tenderness before her period for the past 20 years, reported that her premenstrual symptoms were almost non-existent in the weeks following an alkaline fasting programme.
She actually did the alkaline fasting programme because she was suffering from constipation and wanted to lose a few pounds. She decided to do 1-2 weeks of alkaline fasting and also did some colonic irrigations. After a week of alkaline fasting, she was delighted to report that she had just experienced a first: For the first time in 20 years, she had a pain-free period. Over the past 20 years, she has needed breasts in two different sizes: one size for the time up to ovulation and one size larger for the time up to the onset of her period. The breast was then so taut that it could not be touched. She could hardly believe that this had simply disappeared as a side effect, so to speak, of the alkaline fasting cure. This of course motivated her to change her diet and always make sure that her daily food contains enough alkalising agents.
Overweight and high blood pressure
Overweight A 40-year-old woman had been suffering from obesity, high blood pressure and migraines for 10 years. She did an alkaline fasting programme and was so enthusiastic that she did 6 weeks of alkaline fasting. The results convinced her: she lost 9kg and her migraines have since disappeared. Her blood pressure was also significantly reduced. After 6 weeks of alkaline fasting, she said: "I feel much better with alkaline food!"
Overweight and dizzy spells
Overweight A 29-year-old woman underwent an alkaline fasting cure because she had gained 20 kg over the past two years and had not had the slightest success with any diet. She was 30kg overweight in total and had been persuaded to go on a protein diet years ago, during which she initially lost weight. Later, she mainly ate animal protein, especially a lot of meat, but kept putting on weight until she was finally 30kg overweight.
She also complained of constant attacks of dizziness, the cause of which was never discovered. At first she was not convinced by the idea of alkaline fasting as she had already tried so many cures and diets without success. However, three days later she started the alkaline fasting programme. After one week she had 4 kg less on the scales and after another week 5 kg less. She continued alkaline fasting for a further 8 weeks and has now lost 14.5 kg. She feels well and fit again,
She hasn't had any more dizzy spells since then.
Leaflet alkaline bath
Why? Alkaline baths, as offered in your alkaline fasting hotel, are a wonderful support for every alkaline fasting cure. Alkaline baths stimulate deacidification via the skin, nourish the skin and it also feels velvety soft after the alkaline bath. An alkaline foot bath also promotes optimal deacidification and often has an even more intensive effect.
Apart from the very relaxing effect of an alkaline bath, the deacidifying effect should not be underestimated. It may well be that an alkaline footbath "revitalises" old aches and pains for a short time. For example, if you suffer from migraines, you may experience a brief headache after an alkaline bath. There are no known side effects of this kind with alkaline full baths. If you are generally healthy, the relaxing effect will predominate.
How often? During a seven-day alkaline fasting cure, we recommend two to three alkaline foot or full baths. You can also take an alkalising bath once or twice a week at home. Instructions For a full alkaline bath, add approx. 150 g of alkaline bath powder. For an alkaline foot bath you need approx. 30 g of alkaline bath powder. The optimum duration of an alkaline bath is 20 to 30 minutes. Make sure you do not stay in the alkaline bath for longer than 30 minutes if your circulation tends to fluctuate.
If your circulation is stable, you are welcome to stay in a little longer and run warm water again. It is important that you snuggle up in your bathrobe after the alkaline bath without drying off and do not apply any cream.
Liver wrap leaflet
Our most important detoxification organ - the liver Detoxification The liver is one of our most important detoxification organs. It performs a large part of the cleansing processes in our body, filtering harmful substances from the blood and rendering them harmless. However, it can only fulfil its tasks as long as it is not overloaded with toxins in the form of an incorrect diet, especially one rich in fat, and too much alcohol. Otherwise, the liver's ability to fulfil its vital functions decreases.
and health problems can be the possible consequence. Changing your diet during the alkaline fasting week to 100% alkaline food
is an additional challenge for the liver during this detoxification period. A simple and natural means of supporting the liver in this process is the liver compress, which is also very beneficial regardless of the alkaline fasting period.
Liver wrap activates detoxificationActivation During the alkaline fasting cure, the liver is activated to increasingly empty its fat deposits, thereby improving its performance. In connection with this, the liver - especially at the beginning of the alkaline fasting cure - is initially challenged more than before, the tissue undergoes a thorough cleansing process and the entire digestion is slowly reorganised during the first few days. With each subsequent alkaline fasting day, however, fewer harmful and toxic substances need to be neutralised - and the liver can regenerate. The liver wrap has an additional supportive effect here.
Detoxifying the liver with liver compresses Why? Liver compresses are not only excellent for improving blood circulation in the liver, but also provide optimal support for detoxification. By stimulating the associated skin, it optimises the blood circulation of the organ and thus supports its detoxification function. As a result, the entire metabolism is stimulated. It activates and strengthens the performance of the liver.
A correctly applied liver compress can also prevent intestinal cramps and be an effective measure against constipation and diarrhoea. The liver compress is therefore not only an extremely important, but also a natural and tried-and-tested aid for detoxification.optimum time and application time The optimum time for applying the liver compress during the alkaline fasting cure is during the resting phase before or after lunch and in the evening before going to sleep.
Application
The actual application of the liver compress is very simple. All you need is a hot water bottle and one or two linen sheets or towels. The hot water bottle is filled flat with hot water. Excess air is pressed out before closing. Moisten a linen or hand towel and wrap the hot water bottle in it. Whilst lying on your back, the hot water bottle wrapped in the towel is placed on the upper region of the abdomen below the right ribcage. Cover yourself with a dry towel and a woollen blanket. You can now relax in this position for 20 to 30 minutes.
As an alternative to a hot water bottle, a hot hay bag the size of a hot water bottle can be used. Also note the temperature The feet should not be forgotten at this point: they should be kept as warm as possible. If necessary, a second hot water bottle can be placed under the feet.
It is also important to ensure that the temperature of the liver compress is not too hot, as this will leave red marks on the skin. Miscellaneous Liver compresses should not be used during menstruation as this can increase bleeding. Liver compresses should also only be used to a limited extent for certain inflammations of the gastrointestinal tract. A doctor should be consulted in this case. It is also advisable to use liver compresses regularly outside of the cure in order to continue to support the metabolic function of the liver. The liver compress also has such a soothing and relaxing effect that it can help you sleep better in the evening.
