Dr Thomas Rau runs the renowned Paracelsus clinic in the Swiss Alps. This clinic practices his proven pH balancing rejuvenation program and has helped millions of people to lose weight and become fit.
This has earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Medicine”. The immense success of his program spurred him to write a book on his health plan: The Swiss Secret to Optimal Health
The book explains Dr Rau’s take on two important aspects of health: proper nutrition and effective detoxification. Together, these strategies have a number of beneficial effects on the body, like;
- Internal purification
- Regulating the inner pH
- Strengthening immunity
- Enhancing the healing power of the body
- Fighting diseases and undesirable health conditions
- Invigorating the body and mind
Dr Rau’s main thrust is on the intestine. He says that the intestine contains more than 80% of the body’s immune cells. High quality nutrition can strengthen cellular health in the intestine by ensuring the rejuvenation of cells.
The diet begins with a pre-diet detox program. This detox phase is rather restrictive but it restores the pH levels of the body. It also supplies essential nutrients and macronutrients to the body, thus establishing inner harmony. During this stage, all processed foods are taboo. Coffee, alcohol, sugar and animal protein are out. Small amounts of grains with lots of vegetables and fair amounts of fruits are taken in.
Exercise is prohibited during the detox phase as the calorie intake is very limited. During this time, followers are advised to take a break from work so they can eliminate stress completely.
The detox phase is followed by a three week diet program when followers are allowed to take in larger portions of food. During this time too, plenty of vegetables form a vital part of the diet.
This diet revolves around European cuisine. Recommended foods include steamed vegetables, juice, salads, legumes, apples, grapefruit, nuts, cheese, herbal teas, olive oil and flaxseed oil. The diet is not a predominantly vegetarian but followers may include portions of fish and chicken. Animal products are also allowed.
This is the gist of the program.
The Swiss Secret Review
The emphasis of the Swiss Secret Diet is on strengthening the inner balance of the body. Following Dr Rau’s recommendations can help people experience more vitality and energy.
However, the diet plan is not without certain drawbacks. Working people may find it difficult to follow the detoxification diet because of the low calorie count. Some people may even experience headaches or nausea. There is a fair bit of cooking and preparation involved in this phase.
The book contains a good compilation of recipes, and these are appetizing on the whole. However, some of the ingredients may be seasonal and the book does not suggest any alternatives. There are a few inconsistencies too. But, these disadvantages cannot detract from the inherent worth of the diet program.
Pros:
- Encourages a healthy food plan
- Strengthens the immunity of the body
- Can jump-start a weight loss plan
- Contains plenty of recipes
- Focuses on the beneficial effects of proper eating
Cons:
- Detox plan is hard to sustain
- Physically active people may be unable to abide by the low calorie intake prescribed
- The diet program is a lot of hard work
In Conclusion
This diet program involves a lot of hard work. Dr Rau offers this program in his clinic where everything is provided by the facility. But, having to cook prescribed meals by oneself is not easy. That said, one has to accept that losing weight requires some amount of hard work. For those who are willing to invest time and effort, the road to better health and weight loss is clear: just follow Dr Rau’s suggestions!
