FASTING SUCCESS STORIES
Testimonials from our guests
We welcome thousands of guests through the doors of our clinics every year, and each of their motivations and experiences are different. We know the thought of fasting for the first time can be intimidating. You might be nervous about coping with hunger, sceptical about how fasting can help address a particular health condition or simply find the thought of disconnecting from the world around you confronting.
The personal stories of our former guests can help you to understand how fasting feels, how beneficial the Buchinger Method is, and how becoming part of our community and can make your experience truly life changing.

Michel Falck
Overcoming long Covid through fasting
“My condition was serious, and I couldn’t read a single line anymore. That was the worst part!”
Michel Falck (60) from Strasbourg suffered for months from concentration problems and a loss of taste and smell after a Covid infection. A ten-day fasting programme in Überlingen gave him new strength: after the cure, he can “read books again” and is now planning his gradual return to working life.
Petr Weigl
Documentary: “A Fast Life”
“What I experienced during and after fasting was better than anything modern medicine has done for me in half a century.”
The London-based artist Petr Weigl documented his 16-day therapeutic fasting stay on Lake Constance on film. Due to health problems, he decided to do a cure at Buchinger Wilhelmi in 2019. In his video diary “A Fast Life”, he impressively shows how fasting gave new impulses to his body and mind. His conclusion: fasting surpassed all previous treatment results.
A. B.
Journey into the unknown
“After fifteen years, thanks to fasting and an annual stay […] I was able to find my way back into life. […] Since my first experience, I get out of bed every day and manage to live on my own.”
The French guest A.B. initially felt she was “in a deep hole”: work and social contacts had become overwhelming for years, and she felt unbearably exhausted. After 16 days of therapeutic fasting in Überlingen, she drew a new conclusion: the fasting cure helped her regain her zest for life. Today, she reports with great gratitude that she has “found [her] way back” into her life and gets up every morning with renewed strength.
