Master Dong is one of those who firmly believe that "Snow Lotus" can cure diseases. After getting a small piece of snow lotus half a year ago, Master Dong "feeds" the snow lotus with half a catty of fresh milk every day. After buying fresh milk, boil it first, then let it cool, and then pour the milk into a container filled with "Snow Lotus", which must be kept at room temperature. After 24 hours, "Snow Lotus Milk" will become. Filter the milk with gauze and you can drink it.
According to Master Dong, a colleague gave him "Snow Lotus" six months ago and also gave him a leaflet with the curative effect and precautions of "Snow Lotus" printed on it, which he has carefully preserved to this day. The "Snow Lotus" on this leaflet has a good function: it can treat heart disease, improve arteriosclerosis and lower cholesterol; Can be used for treating diseases of pancreas, liver and spleen; Has good curative effect on gallbladder, gallbladder and gallstones; Relieve gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer; Has anti-inflammatory effect. ...
Master Dong said that "Snow Lotus" soaked in milk is very popular in their yard. It took a long time to get a small piece of "Snow Lotus". Fortunately, "Snow Lotus" grew very fast. Ten days later, it grew to twice its original size.
It is understood that there are not a few people who are obsessed with "Snow Lotus" like Master Dong. Because of the recommendation of relatives and friends, the cost is very small, and there is no obvious side effect after drinking it. It was once quite popular among the people. "Snow Lotus" is not only circulated in Xi 'an, but also in other parts of the province and Guangzhou. Some places call it "Tibetan Mushroom" and "Meat Ganoderma lucidum".
Uncovering the truth "Snow Lotus" turns out that lactic acid bacteria only help the stomach.
What is the magic medicine "Snow Lotus" that is passed down by everyone as a cure for all diseases? In order to uncover the veil of "Snow Lotus", yesterday, the reporter visited Shaanxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Shaanxi Provincial Health Supervision Office and Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital with "Snow Lotus" extracted from milk, but they did not give a clear answer. At the School of Medicine of Xi Jiaotong University, the reporter finally figured out the true face of "Snow Lotus"-in fact, it is just a kind of lactic acid bacteria.
After two hours of identification, after several steps such as removal, fixation, staining and microscopic examination, the expert said: "In medicine, this is a gram-positive bacterium." At present, it can only be speculated that this Bacillus, as a kind of bacteria, is a special kind of lactic acid bacteria, belonging to the probiotic group, which can ferment milk and turn pure milk into yogurt.
According to experts, the real Saussurea involucrata is a perennial herb medicinal plant of Saussurea in Compositae, which grows on the mountain slopes at an altitude of 4,800-5,800 meters and in the rubble near the snow line, and has a certain curative effect on gynecological diseases.
Experts say that Saussurea involucrata is composed of lactic acid bacteria, so the effect is naturally simple, but it is good for the gastrointestinal system of the human body. "Lactic acid bacteria can regulate the normal flora of human body and are harmless to human body." These functions are roughly the same as those of ordinary yogurt sold in the market, and have no special significance to the human body.
For this identification result, experts said that if it is lactic acid bacteria, it can really regulate the microbial balance in the human intestine and remove toxins in the intestine. "This effect is only meaningful for patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases." Regarding the magical medical effect mentioned in the publicity, Dr. Zhang said that it was too reluctant.
Tracing back to the source that "Snow Lotus" came from Tibet is sheer nonsense.
During the interview, it was found that although many people insisted that "Snow Lotus" came from Tibet, almost all claimed that it was sent by relatives, friends, colleagues or neighbors, and the first person who brought it back from Tibet could not be found. In other words, no one knows for sure whether "Snow Lotus" comes from Tibet.
All the publicity materials about "Snow Lotus" say that "Snow Lotus" originated in a small mountain village in Tibet and was discovered by a professor of Clewitt Medical College. The professor worked in India for five years. During his work in India, he got liver cancer, but fortunately, he was cured by people in Tibet with "Snow Lotus", and he brought it to people all over the world.
This introduction about the origin of "Snow Lotus" seems logical, but it really can't stand scrutiny. Yesterday, the reporter contacted the Tibetan media, and they all said that Clewitt Medical College did not exist.
