He lived an eventful life in eventful times: Born in 1878 in Darmstadt to a civil servant, he studied medicine, was awarded a doctorate and spent the First World War as a naval doctor until he was thrown off course in 1917 by an infected rheumatism of the joints caused by septicaemia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>His mobility was soon so severely restricted that he was forced to retire from the navy as an invalid. The personal strain and the powerlessness of conventional Western medicine led him to consider alternative forms of treatment. In 1919, he was referred to Dr. Riedlin in Freiburg, who prescribed therapeutic fasting following traditional methods. It was a resounding success, and saved his life, which he devoted from then on to developing and refining a method for a medically sound fasting therapy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a doctor, he focused on all aspects of integrated medicine. As a spiritual person, he concerned himself with the correlation between the body\u2019s emotional and physical self-healing powers. As the founder of medical therapeutic fasting, he combined the two to create a holistic form of therapy \u2013 Buchinger therapeutic fasting \u2013 which he successfully applied and continued to develop in different clinics from 1920. In 1935 he published his most important work, \u201cThe Therapeutic Fasting Cure\u201d, which is still in print today. In it, the \u201cpioneer of fasting\u201d systematically described fasting physiology and the diseases that are considered fasting indications.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr. Buchinger held \u201ccollective consultation sessions,\u201d among others, in which music by Beethoven was played or poems by Goethe and Rilke recited. He was convinced that \u201c[\u2026] spiritual and cultural nourishment are equally important for human beings as food.\u201d In the same way, he regarded fasting under experienced medical supervision and in an inspiring atmosphere not simply as a one-time corrective measure for an imbalanced state of health. Rather, he considered it to be the \u201ctrue path of holistic medicine\u201d that can help people achieve a more responsible lifestyle and activate their self-healing powers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 1953, Dr. Otto Buchinger was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit for his pioneering work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Therapeutic fasting in the clinic on Lake Constance<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" class=\"wp-image-30017\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buchinger-wilhelmi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Buchinger-Wilhelmi-Fastenklinik-Geschichte-Haupthaus-100Jahre-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.buchinger-wilhelmi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Buchinger-Wilhelmi-Fastenklinik-Geschichte-Haupthaus-100Jahre-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.buchinger-wilhelmi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Buchinger-Wilhelmi-Fastenklinik-Geschichte-Haupthaus-100Jahre-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.buchinger-wilhelmi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Buchinger-Wilhelmi-Fastenklinik-Geschichte-Haupthaus-100Jahre-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.buchinger-wilhelmi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Buchinger-Wilhelmi-Fastenklinik-Geschichte-Haupthaus-100Jahre-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.buchinger-wilhelmi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Buchinger-Wilhelmi-Fastenklinik-Geschichte-Haupthaus-100Jahre.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p>In the same year, together with his daughter Maria and son-in-law Helmut Wilhelmi, he set up a new clinic in \u00dcberlingen on Lake Constance, which he continued to manage for several years as a senior consultant. Throughout his lifetime, he felt the need to fast regularly. It gave him strength for a long, healthy and active life, in which he achieved a great deal, before he died in 1966 aged 88.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr. Otto Buchinger was succeeded by Dr. Heinz Fahrner and Dr. med.

Another study examines the pathological accumulation of fat in the liver, which can be reduced with Buchinger therapeutic fasting, preventing liver cirrhosis.
