An excellent way to kick off the detoxification process every morning, while giving your body all the nutrition it needs, is Dr. Kousmine’s breakfast.
Doctor Catherine Kousmine (1904-1992), has devoted her life to medical research in Switzerland with special interest in the effects of food on overall health, and cancer and disease prevention. The diet she recommends is rich in cereals, raw food and essential fatty acids, and has thousands of faithful health-conscious followers around the world.
The highlight of Dr Kousmine’s diet is her power breakfast -the infamous Kousmine cream- based on a mixture of ingredients that she developed with the German doctor Johanna Budwig.
Dr Budwig (born in Germany in 1908- 2003) has been referred to as a top European Cancer Research Scientist, Biochemist, German Pharmacologist, and Physicist. She was a seven-time Nobel Prize nominee. She is considered one of the world’s leading authorities on fats and oils. Her research has shown the negative effects that commercially processed fats and oils have on destroying cells, and their food-processing function in the body, resulting in chronic or terminal disease.
Her research shows that the commercial processing of fats destroys the field of electrons that allow the cell membranes in our bodies to function properly. Without the proper metabolism of fats, every vital function and every organ is affected. This includes new cell regeneration, and the elimination of waste and toxins, which triggers various chronic diseases.
Not only is Dr Kousmine breakfast recipe delicious and highly nutritious, but it also enables your body to kick start the detoxification process upon rising.
Kousmine-Budwig breakfast recipe
- 4 tablespoons low fat cottage cheese (or yoghurt) – 2 tablespoons organic flaxseed or organic sunflower oil Mix the cottage cheese and the flaxseed oil in a bowl with a fork, until you obtain a rich, white and creamy blend.
Add to this mixture
- 1 small ripe banana (or 2 tsp honey) – 1/2 a lemon juice – 2 tablespoons freshly ground flaxseeds or 6 almonds, 6 hazelnuts, or any other type of nuts, excluding peanuts – 2 tablespoons fresh whole-wheat rice, millet, buckwheat, oats (not oatmeal) – 1 portion of seasonal fresh fruit. (strawberries, raspberries, cherries, grapes, apple etc..) Grind the nuts, or flaxseed and the cereals. Crush the banana with a fork. Add all the ingredients to the cottage cheese and mix well.
Besides being a rich source of calcium, iron & zinc, this breakfast is rich in linolenic acid (healthy fats) and provides substantial levels of vitamins and minerals. The combination of these ingredients is what makes this recipe particularly efficient.
Dr Kousmine diet is based on 5 principles amongst them a healthy diet and a healthy colon. She recommended intestinal cleanses, including enemas and colon cleansing.
France Guillain, who wrote 2 books on the Detox Bath method, particularly recommends combining the Kousmine breakfast with the Detox Bath for a highly effective natural daily detox. The ‘good fats’, contained in this breakfast act as the vehicle which -aided by the the Detox Bath- transports the ‘bad fats’ into the intestines for elimination. This breakfast will boost the action of the Detox Bath and increase its effectiveness.
The Detox Bath is based on an ancestral detox and healing technique which has been proven to encourage toxin, waste and fat elimination. It’s working principle is to refresh the core area of the body (groin) during 10 minutes daily on average. This process creates a vibration in the fascia (interconnecting tissue covering all internal organs), which sets in motion a roll-back effect transporting waste, fat and deposited toxins back to the intestines, where they are later eliminated. The benefits of this simple technique are numerous and include:
Toxin, fat and cellulite elimination
Improved digestion and natural constipation relief
Improved natural restful sleep,
Mood and energy boost
Clear skin and radiant complexion.

Thanks for dropping by!
I have no idea what this post is about. I just love the Fredericks of Hollywood models!

Nevermind. I went back to read it, but I canceled out on the banana!
How are you!?
jon’s last blog post..October 2007 – It?s A Wonderful Life
I think this should be a very easily achievable way for me to try to get back to nature. I am going to try it.
I followed the breakfast recipe and I understand the reasoning behind why those particular ingredients are used… but I got lost on what the “bath” is exactly. Maybe I need to research more to know what it is.
I am thinking maybe you have to buy the book to learn more about the detox bath? So how did you like the recipe? I am curious as to how it tasted? Thanks
I am curious. If you are bathing to detox your system, wouldn’t that draw things out through the skin?
hahaha jon! Aren’t the models just something…. Can’t get past the buxom babes in sexy lingerie huh?
And I think it’s a sin to even mention the bananas on the same post…..
Katharina, you are way ahead of me on this one.
I’ve done one of those toxic baths before at a spa and they work really well in eliminating a couple of inches by the time I got out of it. I guess it’s all about water drainage.
Tater03, yes, I think you’ll have to buy the book to learn more about the detox bath.
SageMother, I believe that is the concept of a detox bath. I think it also draws out excess water….
Diva….
If the toxins are drawn out through the skin, then one has to remember to step up their skincare routine to take care of any break outs that might occur. Luckily, the bath diluting the toxins will help!
SageMother, I’ve also experienced that too whenever I get a bodywrap or a facial done. If I don’t properly use my daily cleaning regiment, I end up getting breakouts or itches.
healthy, yes… but i’ve seen my supervisor eat something similar and it just doesn’t look delicious lol i dunno what it is…

[...] The Diva Network wrote an interesting post today on A Delicious, Detoxifying and Highly Nutritious Breakfast RecipeHere’s a quick excerpt [IMG Pink Banners] A healthy diet is crucial to the detoxification process.

I am really going to have to see if they offer these baths anywhere around me. They sound interesting and relaxing. I could use relaxing right about now.
Jay, some mysterious concoction huh? Did he start blowing smoke out of his ears?
Tater03, I could use some relaxing every five minutes or so…. and I don’t even have kids!
I could surely use it, too… the thought of pulling toxins out of my body while relaxing sounds *really* awesome.
I really need to start doing bubble baths/soaks again, too… I think I’ve gotten too lazy with the showers and they’re not long enough to actually relax.
Yeah, I never thought of it that way. . . but I’m sure you’re right.
Perhaps it was a freudian slip. Which is what I used to refer to that skimpy black dress that Zhang Ziyi wore.
jon’s last blog post..We Change the World One Act of Love At A Time
That’s some recipe! I wonder how much you can pre-prepare when your mornings are in overdrive. I can barely get the toast onto a plate – maybe I need to a)get up earlier b)rethink my priorities or c)become rich and famous so my celebrity chef can whip it up for me

You can buy flax seed meal (already ground). Recommend subbing that for the oil. I mix the meal with oatmeal, yogurt, fruit and nuts. Delicious.
Katharina, I just moved into our new condo this spring and it has a very nice tub that I haven’t put to good use yet.
Bought the candles, the bath bombs and everything, but still to this day haven’t given it a test run.
Maybe, I need to spend a little bit of time away from the computer…..
One of my main problems is I hate sitting in the bath tub! I am firmly devoted shower person.
I think I get my attitudes about soaking in tubs from when I had to use sitz baths after giving birth.
LOL
Jon, LOL!
SimoneM, I have actually decided I’m a morning person. Which is so strange when I used to think that for the last 35 years of my life, I wouldn’t want to roll out of bed at all if I don’t have to…..
But now, it’s 4AM starts for me, and that leaves me enough time to make me something nice in the morning.
You can always prepare it the night before if you are too busy in the morning.
Sandra, is the flax seed that you are buying oil based or grounded?
SageMother, I guess this little detox recipe is not going to work in a conventional shower.
My sister is the same thing. She does not like soaking in the tub at all.
Keen to buy the book and try out some different detox bath recipes.
The breakfast seems a little too heavy for me.
Peace, love and chocolate

Carole’s last blog post..Nine things you don?t know about your children?s bedroom:
Carole, make sure you pass by again sometime in the new year. We’ll be giving away free copies of a similar book on detox bath recipes.
That sounds really nice, I’ve got a book about detoxing and I could fit it in with the eating plan in there.
Nancy, which detox book do you have?
has anyone tried this recipe…I am not sure if I will like the taste of the thing…but if you say it is good….well atleast let me know how it tastes….
I could do this breakfast. I have been looking for something healthy. I love cottage cheese and nuts and fruit. I would have to use trial and error for the cereal type.
I wonder how long it would take for me to notice a difference in the way I felt.
It sounds like an awful lot of hard work to me just for breakfast.. but the detox bath sounds quite interesting. I’ve never heard of such a thing…
Good question, poster25… I’m thinking it may not actually take too long to notice a difference, at least in energy level. Anyone know?
this is not at all a bad recipe to try and I think not very difficult to make either…if it gives what it promises to…I am sure many of my friends would also want to know the secret to my glowing skin and health.
