Miriam Lee's Bean Soup Anticancer Food Bone Marrow Soup

Dr. Miriam Lee is one of the greatest and most renowned acupuncturists in the United States. She is rightly revered as the mother of acupuncture in California because of her heroic, pioneering efforts in effecting the first legislation in the US legalizing the practice of acupuncture in California. To accomplish this, she was willing to go through the process of legal harassment and even being briefly incarcerated for practicing acupuncture at a time when it was illegal. Eventually during the governorship of Jerry Brown, acupuncture was made legal in 1976 in California. Since that time it is legal in all of the 50 states but it all started with California and Dr. Miriam Lee. Miriam Lee was a close friend and support of my teacher, Dr Andrew Wu, in San Jose, CA. I was fortunate to meet Dr Lee many times as Dr Wu and Dr Lee discussed difficult cases in our clinic. Miriam was famous for using a special set of acupuncture points based on the work of one of her teachers, Dr. Tang known as the "Tang Points" also practiced by Dr Wu and myself.

MIRIAM LEE'S BONE MARROW BROTH For general weakness, lowered immune system and anemia Ingredients: Organic Pork Ribs Rice Vinegar (we recommend Kombucha Mushroom Vinegar) Fresh Ginger Bean Sprouts 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. [here we modify Miriam's recipe by suggesting that the bones are removed and broken as much as possible - use a hammer or heavy instrument. Breaking the bones are suggested to better release the marrow from the bones]. 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.
