This is a simple but powerful recipe that has helped people regain their health. Easy to make but does take hours to make. Make a lot, it boils down. Freeze for later. Use as a stock base for other soups. Especially great with fresh vegetables and spices.
I was very fortunate to meet Miriam Lee and she was very kind to me. Miriam was America's first licensed acupuncturist and herbalist. That was in California. I was a student of Andrew Wu, who Miriam had sponsored to come to America to practice and teach Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine. Miram shared her gifts freely and was a wonderful healer. She fought to help people and cared very deeply for Traditional Medicine.
MIRIAM LEE'S BONE MARROW BROTH
For general weakness, lowered immune system and anemia
Ingredients: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.
This can be used as soup stock. Drink 2 bowls a day.
