Miriam Lee's Bone Marrow Broth

For general weakness, lowered immune system and anemia

Boil 2 pounds organic pork spare ribs in water with 2'‘3 TBS. rice vinegar for several hours. At the beginning of boiling, skim off the gray foam. Add about 6 two inch pieces of fresh ginger to neutralize the meat toxins.

After 2 hours let broth cool down and then skim the fat off the top. Add more water. Then begin boiling again with 2 pounds of soy bean sprouts (the long ones from Chinese market) for 2 more hours.

Remove bones and fat when cool. Freeze in small containers. Add herbs if desired.

This can be used as soup stock. Drink 2 bowls a day.

Mung Bean Soup for Hypertension 

Dr. Miriam Lee would routinely sell patients with hypertension a pound of green mung beans. These are a famous heat-clearing, detoxifying and acid neutralizing food in both China and India.

She would recommend that a patient pour a cup of boiling water over two or three tablespoons of mung beans in the morning.

Cover a let steep for 20 to 30 minutes. Drink the broth and save the beans.

Repeat this process mid day and evening using the beans that are saved from each preparation. In the evening, one should also eat the beans.
