The members of the K2000 Expedition would like to give thanks to the Chinese National K2 Team for the many gifts that they have given us. We have enjoyed all of these gifts, and have used each one. The most recent one we would like to share with the MountainZone audience: Two boxes of a dozen vials, most of which have already been consumed. The following description was offered on the package, and it seems to suit our needs:

Material: Red-spotted stonecrop with big flowers of Himalaya of Tibet. Made through scientific processing. It is a pure natural preparation without poison and side effects. From the Tibet plateau.

Effects: Adjusting organism and keeping in good health. Nourishing vitality, anti-lacking oxygen, anti-fatigue, retarding old and feeble, and on anti-microwave radiation. It is nutritious and roborant, improving working efficiency for mental workers.

Indications: It has a very good preve, therapeutic and nourishing effects to nourasthenia, neurosis hypertension, diabetics, myocardial malnutrition, feeble of prolonged illness, diseases of the aged and workers in special living and working conditions.

Ingredients: This product contains gluoside, alcoholic cream, varied amino acids and trace element of red-spotted stone crop. It has no poison and side effects.

Developed by No 115 Chinese People's Liberation Army Hospital.

So, having resumed our waiting pattern at ABC (the weather has turned sour again, with six inches of snow on the ground), we are reeling from these symptoms, and are grateful for this fine Chinese medicine.
