WHERE THE ELITE ARE GOING
Buchinger Wilhelmi Clinic, Uberlingen, Germany
The Buchinger Wilhemi programme is not for sissies. However, it does get amazing results, largely through the well-proven therapeutic effects of fasting, with visitors undergoing six days on 350 calories a day. The clinic says that its new Immunity+ programme has been designed “to reduce the main risk factors for severe cases of coronavirus and to boost the immune system”. buchingerwilhelmi.com

Overlooking Lake Worthersee in Austria, the VIVAMAYR now runs one-week or two-week Immune Boost Programmes that include medical tests and treatments such as nasal reflexology/ Salinair inhalation (for congested sinuses and lungs), vitamin infusions, massages, shiatsu, yoga, cryotherapy and stomach massages (with a doctor). Each guest is given a bespoke alkaline-based diet and a course of supplements. You’ll share the sauna with models, influencers and a burly Russian or two. vivamayr.com
