We're sending you some dried miracle fruit. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_fruit) It has a stupid name, but *shrug* it's marketed as a novelty item. It makes things taste different (like toothpaste does sometimes) but it does it by making sour and bitter things taste sweet. The useful thing for you, and the reason we sent you some, is because it is steadily bought by Chemo patients because it also gets rid of the chemo taste. The berry itself is hard to grow and hard to preserve so it can't be mass produced yet, which is why it's not really around in America, though it's really popular in Japan.
When you get them it comes in sealed tabulets of freeze dried fruit which you just dissolve and swish around your mouth. If you're feeling like having fun with it, you can also try eating some of the many foods it changes the taste of and that have made it into a fun party item.
