Day 1
8:00 a.m. – Breakfast
Just fresh fruit and a soothing herbal tea to start the day gently.
8:30 a.m. – Medical Consultation
Dr. Max Mayhofer, a leading expert in detox protocols, outlined my personalized plan combining nutrition with draining and energizing treatments. He cautioned that poor home diets—heavy in fats or sugars—can lead to headaches, dry mouth, and bloodshot eyes.
9:00 a.m. – Energy Assessment
Stefania, an experienced energy therapist, placed her hands on me before testing my organ energy levels as I lay on the treatment table.
9:30 a.m. – Biofunctional Check-Up
In a high-tech room reminiscent of NASA labs, a nurse equipped me with metal handles and a headband sensor. After 15 minutes, detailed graphs revealed my baseline metrics.
10:00 a.m. – Meridian Massage
Véronica, skilled in the Chenot method using cupping along weak meridians, combined it with expert manual techniques. The result? Profound relaxation, boosted energy, and deep relief.
11:00 a.m. – Hydrotherapy Session
I immersed in a chromotherapy jet bath with essential oils, followed by a seaweed wrap on a 37°C waterbed—pure bliss, leading to instant sleepiness. The invigorating jet shower capped it off.
12:30 p.m. – Lunch
A balanced menu blending macrobiotic, vegetarian, Cretan, and dissociated elements: fruit, raw veggie salad, eggplant gratin with soy spaghetti, lemon water, and digestive tea. It maintained pH and oxidation balance without bread, alcohol, meat, salt, sugar, coffee, or espresso—yet I felt satisfied.
1:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. – Relaxation
Pool time left me light and energized enough for reading and aquagym.
7:30 p.m. – Dinner and Purge
Vegetable starter, artichoke velouté, black quinoa with onions and almond sauce, followed by two tablespoons of magnesium chloride for detox purging. A slightly unsettled night ensued.
10:00 p.m. – Lights Out
Day 2
Multiple overnight bathroom visits at 00:23, 5:31 a.m., and 6:30 a.m.
8:00 a.m. – Breakfast
Fruits and herbal tea, with stunning views—and a mental note of the nearest restroom.
8:30 a.m. – Medical Review
Dr. Max analyzed results: elevated liver activity, stressed gallbladder, and solar plexus tension. The test pinpointed emotional (love, family) and rational (work) energy imbalances—nothing hidden.
9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Treatments
Repeat massage with Véronica's golden hands and cupping, hydrotherapy favorite, plus high-frequency energy stimulation on acupuncture points to enhance detox.
12:00 p.m. – Body Scanner
Analysis of muscle/fat distribution, bone health, and metabolism incoming.
1:00 p.m. – Lunch
Transition to fasting: mushroom and vegetable broths to rehydrate post-purge, mobilizing toxins from reserves.
2:00 p.m. – Pool
Expecting hunger, but took it easy.
3:00 p.m. – Scanner Results
Overall good, but 1 kg muscle deficit and 2% excess fat. Plan: build muscle via cycling, weights, push-ups; balance carbs/proteins/fats.
5:00 p.m. – Imaginary Snack
No hunger—floating on air.
8:00 p.m. – Broth Dinner
A discreet honey stick from the waiter.
Day 3
8:00 a.m. – Blood and Intolerance Tests
No breakfast needed; unfazed.
9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Treatments
Massage, energy work, hydrotherapy—feeling revitalized.
12:30 p.m. – Enhanced Broth Lunch
Must get those magic broth recipes.
5:00 p.m. – Pool
Still no hunger—pure energy.
7:00 p.m. – Nutrition Lecture
Naturopath Marie-Pierre explained digestion times (e.g., fried steak: 8 hours), stressing regeneration for detoxification.
8:00 p.m. – Breaking the Fast
Sole meunière tempted, but mindful chewing meant I couldn't finish—lesson learned.
Day 4
9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. – Final Treatments and Assessment
Data confirmed restored energy balance. Henri Chenot emphasized: "This cure awakens body awareness, offering evolving daily solutions as metabolism shifts every 7 years with age and lifestyle."
2:00 p.m. – Personalized Diet Plan
Dietitian Elena crafted my program: no fast/slow sugars post-5 p.m. for fat loss; veggie proteins + grains; fish/lean meat + veggies for dinner to build muscle.
Afterward?
Back home, glowing skin, endless energy, serene calm, easier mornings. Two weeks on: no cravings for alcohol, sweets, or salt; slimmer thighs without losing curves or cheeks. Steel-clad morale bonus.
