Doctor's Notations:
     These are healing concoctions.  They are easy to digest and contain important anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting substances that promote health.  The ingredients may be found at most Chinese grocery stores and are not expensive.  Studies on miso have shown a 50% reduction in breast cancer in women who eat one serving of miso per day.  Miso should not be subjected to high temperatures or boiled because the important microorganisms which make it so effective will be destroyed.  Miso is an excellent source of probiotics.
