"Miso belongs to the highest class of medicines, those which prevent disease and strengthen the body through continued usage." 

-- Dr. Shinichiro Akizuki, Director, 

    St. Francis Hospital, Nagasaki

...Our life blood begins in our small intestine (called the cauldron by the Chinese), where we cook/transmute food into blood.  the intestines are, in fact, our ancient brain; they actually make neurotransmitters just as our brain's neocortex does.  Virtually all cases of learning disabilities and attention deficit challenges involve intestinal imbalances and inappropriate food choices.  Miso's alchemical* gift nourishes this ancient brain and cauldron of our life.

*Alchemy...draws the parallel between the miracles of gardening, fermenting and digestion/assimilation, our own internal fermentation.  Alchemy suggests that fermentation is actually a further cultivation of food beyond what it draws from the garden soil.  Miso epitomizes the brilliant diversity possible with that fermentation.  Japanese mythology extols miso as a a gift from the gods of health, happiness and longevity.
