More on snow lotus

Ong Kwok-Yung

Hi to All that is interested in the "Snow Lotus",

        I am glad that the subject has produced some interest from you. There are many articles surfaced when I searched for the "Healing Fungus" regarding the Kombucha mushroom in English. However, there was only one article briefly mentioned the "Snow Lotus".

        The "Snow Lotus" is different. It is grown in 2% milk as the nutrient. I guess that is why it is called "Tien Shan Shuit Lien". That is the translation in Cantonese.

        The fungus is snow white that resembled the look of cauliflower. It grows at a rate of doubling every 18-20 days. What it is, according to the leaflet I got, is that one drinks the residual milk that contained the stuff from the "Snow Lotus" after each day. Similar to the Kombucha mushroom as described by Dennis, the fungus is not consumed and is,  therefore, perpetual. Of course, the milk will have been soured after 24 hours at room temperature. Drinking it is not the most desirable experience. But, if it can do what it has promised to do (The healing fungus contains many nutrients required by the body.), it would be worth of a trial. After all, Dennis did try Kombucha. It works but he quitted because of too much work!! Common, Dennis, you need to be more persistent. Get rid of them gray hairs.

        I was hoping that through the Lighter's contacts, more information could be obtained. Apparently, there is very little information on the item other than what I have already. It might be an interesting project for the Lighter's (with the vast knowledge on many fields) to investigate the process to see if its healing power could be explained  scientifically. It could be the next Nobel!!! As I have mentioned, the fungus is not for sale. It is made available only to those fortunate few that has the opportunity to cross path with someone who has it. Furthermore, that someone must be willing to offer it too.

        Kamsik thought I was too much into the Kung Fu novels to believe in "Snow Lotus". It may be true. But those were the only source that I have heard of mentioning of "Tien Shan Shuit Lien". Now, I heard it again in reality and have witnessed a living specimen. That is why I am seeking further knowledge on the subject, hopefully, through the contacts of the Lighters. I am glad that Lillian has some interest in the subject. May be she could find some useful information.

        Barbara, Sorry that I can't write Chinese using e-mail. May be SS or Peter Tong could translate it. I do have a Chinese version which essentially described as the English version. If you are interested, I might be able to send you a copy for your reference. If you are committed to grow and use it, I can approach that and try to get you a sample in August reunion. The problem is that it required daily attention. The milk on the fungus must be cleaned daily.

        I only send message to the few that have shown interest in the subject for discussion. I don't want to over burden others that might not have the interest. Also, we have to keep in mind to keep the floodgate from opening too wide. We will keep it somewhat exclusive. Like the leaflet said

        "Nourish the fungus, it is never to be sold, it is always a gift. Nourish your fungus so that it may bestow good health upon you."

        Until we talk again,
