Dr
Shinyas' Health Plan:
Good Eating Habits:

Dr. Shinya recommends dividing food intake to 90% fruits and vegetables and 10% protein. The points for good eating are:






1. Eat unpurified grains or cereals.
2. Eat more vegetables.
3. More seafood, less meat.
4. Eat raw foods.
5. Do not eat oxidized foods.
6. Eat fermented foods.
7. Avoid milk and milk products.
8. Take Vitamins and Minerals
9. Be disciplined with the food you eat. Remember, you are what you eat!
Good Water-Water is essential for your health. Drinking "good water" such as mineral water; especially hard water which has much calcium and magnesium keeps your body at an optimal alkaline PH. Optimal quantity is about 2 -3 cups about 1 hour before each meal. (Calli and Fortune Delight help alkaline our pH balance as well. I drink both daily!)

Good Excretion
Start a daily habit to remove 'intestinal pollutants' and to clean out your systems regularly. (I use Slim Caps and Fibertone from Sunrider for safe detox.)

Best to you, Julia Herring

Sunrider’s Chinese Goldenseal Root

By Keith McBride

Herbal knowledge falls into two basic classes: Food herbs and Medicine herbs. Most herbs used today are used as medicine; in times of body crisis and as a safer option to drugs. Sunrider is the one company firmly committed to providing formulas made from carefully blended and balanced food-grade herbs. The focus of the Sunrider whole – food program is not on “curing disease”, but on feeding and nourishing the body for prevention and protection. On the other hand, the focus on medicine, whether it be drugs or medicinal herbs, should be solely to temporarily curb illness.

Sunrider has the most advanced perfectly balanced system of whole food nourishment available today. This program is found in the Sunpack, which consists of NuPlus, Calli beverage, and the five system-specific herbal food formulas found in Quinary.

As companions to the foundation Sunpack program, Dr. Chen has also concentrated and enhanced five single herbs available in capsules: Siberian Ginseng, Korean White Ginseng, Dandelion Root, Golden Seal Root and White Willow Bark. In this issue, we profile one of the most popular American herbs, Golden Seal Root.

Golden Seal’s Roots
Golden Seal was first discovered and used by the Cherokee Indians and later admitted to the official U.S. pharmacopoeia. In the late 1800’s, Golden Seal became so popular and scarce it was selling for 100 times that of other herbs. The Rodale Press Herb Book says of Golden Seal: “The botanical name Hydrastis, derived from two Greek words meaning water and to accomplish, is a clue to the principal property of the root. It is a general tonic for the mucous membranes.” (p. 463). Golden Seal is considered one of nature’s greatest antibiotics, and acts as a tonic to the entire system.

In his classic herbal reference work, School of Natural Healing, Dr. John R. Christopher writes of Golden Seal: “This is a powerful tonic for assimilation. It effectively tones the mucous membranes and any other tissues it contacts, increases and improves the appetite, gastric secretions and flow of bile, and aids in digestion.” (p. 437)

Other reference books also mention these possible nourishing benefits of Golden Seal Root: Extremely beneficial in relieving congestion and fighting infection; special aid for the liver, gall bladder, circulation and veins; and tonic for the pancreas. Many herbalists have used Golden Seal in formulas for the eyes, which makes sense. One of Golden Seal’s components, hydrastine, is an ingredient in commercial eye drops like Visine.

The Sunrider Difference
All Golden Seal is not created equal. Like Ginseng, there are many different varieties and grades. In addition, the root of the plant is much more potent than the herb (leaves, flowers and stems). Most Golden Seal found in health food stores are leaves. The root is more expensive, and for good reason. In fact, the Cherokees gave Golden Seal its name because they revered the potency of its yellow root.

What’s the difference between Sunrider Golden Seal Root and others? You’d think they’d be pretty much alike. In fact, Sunrider herbal concentrates are far advanced above regular herbs. Sunrider’s unique processing greatly enhances the viability and nourishing benefits of all Sunrider herbs. How?

When herbs are processed by ordinary means, the manufacturer takes the root, leaf, stem, whatever, and simply grinds them up. This powder is then placed into a capsule or tea bag. Utilized by most herbal producers, this procedure creates two primary concerns, which underscores the Sunrider difference.

Difference Number One: Standardization
With ordinary processing, you can’t be certain how much of the herb’s beneficial components are in each capsule or tea bag. A plant has its components concentrated at different points in the plant. For example, salicin, the primary component in White Willow, is not evenly distributed throughout the plant, but found in a few concentrated spots in the bark. With grinding, the beneficial parts of the plant may be concentrated in a few capsules and missing from the rest. Sunrider’s concentration and enhancement processes insure that the beneficial components of each plant are consistently and evenly distributed throughout the concentrate powder. It is this type of precise control and enhancement that sets Sunrider apart and makes our foods so effective. No other manufacturer uses this process.

This enhancement is clearly evident in Sunrider Golden Seal Root. A young mother from California relates her experience: “My two youngest children and I came down with an infection at the same time. I didn’t have any of our Golden Seal Root, so I went to the health food store and bought the popular brand of the root. I had taken other brands before and had never noticed much improvement. It always ends up costing a lot more than the Sunrider because I have to take a lot more of the health food store brand to notice anything at all. I mixed their Golden Seal into my three-year-old’s cereal and he couldn’t eat it. He told me it “stung his mouth”. Well, I got ahold of Sunrider’s Golden Seal Root, and began taking that. Within a few days, my infection began to clear up, and not only was I able to mix the herb into my son’s cereal, but I diluted it and dropped it into the baby’s nose and eyes for her infection as well. (I would never trust another Golden Seal enough to do that!) She cleared right up. I now keep a few bottles of Sunrider Golden Seal on hand, especially at this time of year.”

Difference Number Two: Quality
The second area of concern is herb quality and integrity. Most herb companies purchase their herbs in bulk from one of a couple of major herb brokers, much like they do with the generic USP powders for their vitamins. These herbs sit on docks and in warehouses for months at a time, and are often moldy, cut with dirt and other plants, and infested with insects, all of which go into the grinder. Some just buy the herb already ground, which is even more suspect. The consumer not only pays for the herb, but all those little “extras” as well. The first step in the Sunrider process is to get rid of all the parts of the plant we don’t needs.

Dr. Chen is an herbal perfectionist. He insists on controlling every step of Sunrider herb production. Sunrider herbs are grown by Sunrider, picked fresh and at the appropriate seasonal times by Sunrider and manufactured by Sunrider. Every batch of raw herbs is tested for purity and freshness. This is Dr. Chen’s greatest source of pride. In fact, several times a month, he flies to any one of several worldwide growing locations to personally oversee every stage of herb development. Sunrider herbs are the purest, finest herbs available. Period.

Biochemistry of Golden Seal
There has been some misunderstanding with Golden Seal Root and blood sugar. Golden Seal has a component that gently tones and stimulates the pancreas. People with blood sugar irregularities like hypoglycemia are often warned not to eat Golden Seal. Dr. Chen understands the biochemistry of the herbal plant and the body’s response. During the process of enhancement, he makes certain that any unbalancing effects of the plant are balanced. This is evident in our Golden Seal Root. In my own experience, before Sunrider, I fought blood sugar imbalances, and had reactions to regular Golden Seal Root. I have eaten Sunrider Golden Seal many times, and find it very beneficial.

Dr. Chen states that Golden Seal Root is a plant that does not need to be eaten continually. Only eat it when you need it. Golden Seal is one of the support herbs to the basic foundation whole food formulas, and forms an important part of your “prevention and protection” program. Conco and Alpha 20C can nourish and strengthen the body’s natural immune response. When the body becomes run-down, we may require the temporary nourishment of an herb like Sunrider’s Golden Seal.
Note: Sunrider Golden Seal Root is available in the United States but not Canada.

Sunrider FAQ

Marketing & Starter Pack Questions
• What is network marketing?
• How is Sunrider's compensation plan different?
• What is the Starter Pack? How can I buy one?
• What is the first-time Director Performance Bonus and Marketing Tool Pack?
• Is Sunrider a pyramid scheme?
• Are the negative stories I've heard about Sunrider true?

What is network marketing?

Network marketing, or multilevel marketing, is part of the thriving direct selling industry. In multilevel marketing, independent Distributors sell a consumable product, person-to-person, away from a fixed, retail location like a traditional grocery or department store. Multilevel marketing plans compensate Distributors on their own product sales and on the product sales of their downline (network).

As a multilevel marketing company, Sunrider offers many benefits to its Distributors, including:
A generous, global compensation plan so you can build a stable income.
Flexible work hours--you choose your own hours.
Your very own business with a small initial investment.
Access to the finest herbal health products for your family and home.
Opportunity for people of all ages, education levels, and backgrounds to earn extra income.*
Your success is limited only by your willingness to work hard!

*You must be 18 or older to sign up as a Distributor.

How is Sunrider's compensation plan different?

There are many direct selling and multilevel compensation plans available such as binary systems and straight systems. However, Sunrider's compensation plan is unique and superior in several important ways:

Make money from the beginning. In many network systems, new people have trouble making money right away because the money flows disproportionately to the uplines. Also, networks simply take time to build. Sunrider has a fair and generous compensation plan. In our plan, new Distributors can start making money as soon as they sign up. This is in addition to the profits new Distributors make from selling our award-winning products.
Make a stable, long-term income. Unlike other companies which pay out only 10% to 40%, Sunrider pays out 20% of Sunrider sales price for the Club Member Bonus and an actual 58.5% SV, one of the best in the industry. Rewards include generous bonus checks, dream homes, new automobiles, and fun vacations.* Other companies come and go, but Sunrider has been in business since 1982 and has never missed a payout.
Make money while you sleep. Sunrider has a global compensation plan so you can do business in over 40 countries. This allows you to make money around the clock.

* Sunrider makes no guarantee of any earnings or profits to any Distributor. Any representation or guarantee of earnings would be misleading. Success results only from successful sales efforts, which require hard work, diligence and leadership.

Is Sunrider a pyramid scheme?

No! Sunrider is an international company with a stable, successful history. Sunrider provides its Distributors with outstanding products and a legitimate business opportunity. There are very important differences between an illegal pyramid scheme and a legitimate multilevel marketing (MLM) company like Sunrider:

Real products, real customers: Sunrider offers a wide variety of high-quality herbal food and supplements, skin care, and home products at a competitive price. Sunrider's business is based on repeat customers who enjoy our products. Our Distributors are our most loyal consumers. Pyramid schemes, however, do not offer a real product or will charge unreasonable prices for a cheap product.

Commissions based on product sales: Sunrider pays commissions and bonuses to Distributors solely based on their product sales, i.e., their sales volume. Sunrider does not compensate Distributors for merely recruiting or sponsoring another Distributor, nor does it charge high fees for marketing tools. On the other hand, pyramid schemes usually base compensation on recruiting new people and charge high fees for marketing tools because they don't have a legitimate product to sell.

Cost of joining Sunrider is low: The fee for the Starter Pack is comparable or even lower in comparison to other legitimate MLMs. Customers can also join for free. Pyramid schemes often require exorbitant fees to join because they make their profits on signing new recruits, not selling real products.

No inventory required: Because Sunrider bases its business on selling high-quality products to consumers, we do not require that Distributors maintain large inventories. In contrast, pyramid schemes may pressure or require you to purchase large inventories and training materials.

Anyone can make money: Making money in a pyramid scheme requires getting in at the "ground level." However, Sunrider's World Seamless Compensation Plan is fair and generous to all of our Distributors no matter what their level is, so anyone can make money at Sunrider if they are willing to work.*

* Sunrider makes no guarantee of any earnings or profits to any Distributor. Any representation or guarantee of earnings would be misleading. Success results only from successful sales efforts, which require hard work, diligence and leadership.

Are the negative stories I've heard about Sunrider true?

Sunrider is a successful international company operating in over 40 countries. Like every large global company, Sunrider has faced challenges, rumors and criticisms in its history. More importantly, it has weathered tough times and come through even stronger.

While we embrace the opportunities the Internet affords, we understand that people can post negative stories and criticisms about Sunrider or find disputes that have long been resolved. We feel that there is nothing to hide because we believe in the integrity of our business.

The book Journey to the Sun sets the record straight about Sunrider's remarkable story. In it you will learn about Dr. Tei-Fu Chen's life from his humble beginnings to the formation of Sunrider and the challenges he and Dr. Oi-Lin Chen faced in making Sunrider a successful global company. Sunrider continues to grow boldly and with greater knowledge and experience.

Stevia News, Tips, Information, Frequently Asked Questions [www.cookingwithstevia.com/stevia_faq.html]

What is Stevia? Stevia is of the Composite family, related to lettuce, marigold and chicory. It was "Officially" discovered in the late 19th century by Dr. Moises Santiago Bertoni. He was given samples of the plant and he reported that "one small piece of the leaf will keep the mouth sweet for an hour". He named the plant Stevia Rebuadiani Bertoni in honor of a Paraguayan chemist name Rebaudi. Bertoni found that the Guarani Indians had been using the leaves of the plant to sweeten bitter teas and as a sweet treat.

Is Stevia Safe? Stevia has been used since pre-Colombian times with no reports of ill side affects. Stevia has also withstood years of research that has proven Stevia to be safe for human and animal consumption.

I have heard that stevia has side effects?

* Toxic? – No. Stevia has been used in Japan since 1970 and there have been no reports of toxicity or other side effects.  
* Mutagenic? – No. The Japanese Food and Drug Safety Center has found stevia not to be mutagenic. Only one study has shown stevia to be potentially a mutagenic and this study has been criticized for errors in procedure. Scientist in Great Britain said that according to the study's formula, distilled water is mutagenic. 
* A contraceptive? Two studies showed stevia to have a contraceptive effect. The first study was done in Uruguay over 30 years ago and since then no one has been able to reproduce the results. The second study was done by a graduate student in Rio de Janeiro and the results and methods have been questionable. Multiple other studies have shown that stevia has no contraceptive effect.  
* Is Stevia Safe? Absolutely. Stevia has been used around the world with NO reports of stevia overdose or toxicity to humans in the past forty years. 

What are the benefits of Using Stevia? Studies have shown the following benefits from using Stevia in one's diet. These benefits have not been approved or confirmed by the FDA.

* Sugarless with no calories  
* Will not effect blood sugar levels like sugar does.  
* 100% Natural  
* 250 to 300 times sweeter than sugar 
* Heat stable to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit)  
* Non-fermentable  
* Flavor enhancer  
* Plaque retardant Anti-caries (prevents cavities)  
* Recommended for diabetics  
* Non-toxic Extensively tested in animals and Extensively used by humans with no adverse effects.

Where is Stevia Grown? Originally stevia grew wild in the highland region of Northern Paraguay and Southern Brazil. It was later cultivated for use as a sweetener until the introduction of sugar cane by the Spanish and Portuguese. Today Stevia is grown around the world from China, Japan and other Asian countries to South America, Europe, India, the Ukraine and even North America.

What are the types or forms of Stevia?

Types of Stevia:

- Stevia Leaves

* Fresh Leaves – Most pure form. 8 – 12% sweet glycosides : 5-8% Steviosides and 1-2% Rebaudioside A.  
* Dried Leaves – Dried form of the fresh leaves. Used in brewing herbal teas and for making liquid extracts.  
* Tea Cut Leaves – Cut into small pieces and sifted to remove twigs and other unwanted matter.  
* Ground Leaves (Powder) - The dried leaves ground into a fine powder. Usually about 10 – 15 times sweeter than sugar. Used in teas and cooking but does not dissolve. 

- Liquid Extracts

* Dark – A concentrated syrup derived from the dried leaves. Usually in a water and alcohol base. Sweetness varies between manufacturers. This form will offer the greater amount of benefits from the stevia plant.  
* Clear – A solution of powdered steviosides dissolved in water, alcohol or glycerin. 

- Powdered Extracts (STEVIOSIDES)

* 40 – 50% Sweet Glycosides – The processed form of the leaves to concentrate on the sweet glycosides by removing unwanted plant matter. An off white powder. Commonly referred to as "Stevioside".  
* 80 – 95% Sweet Glycosides - The processed form of the leaves to concentrate on the sweet glycosides by removing unwanted plant matter. An off white powder. This powder is 200 – 300 times sweeter than sugar. Quality of the powder depends on purity of the glycosides (i.e. 80 – 95% pure) and the ratio of Rebaudioside A over Stevioside. The higher the ratio, the better the product. Commonly referred to as "Stevioside". 

- Other Forms (STEVIA BLENDS)

* Due to the great strength of the Powdered Extracts, it is common to add a filler to "tone" down the strength so that the Stevioside is easier to use and more palatable. These fillers are usually some form of non-sweet food additive that has little to no nutritive value such as lactose or maltodextrin. 

Does Stevia have the same qualities as sugar in cooking recipes?No! The molecular structures of sucrose and Stevioside are completely different. Sucrose (Sugar) when heated will caramelize making such delights as cookies, fudge and ... caramel, a possibility. Stevia will not. Some sweets, like caramel, is not possible, yet, but other sweets like cookies and fudge are possible if you can figure out how.

Will Stevia break down at high temperatures like saccrines or aspartame? No! The fact that stevia is heat stable is one of the real great properties of Stevia. Stevioside is heat stable to about 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit). So it can be used in almost any recipe.

Will Stevia act as a "fuel" for yeast in baking as sugar does? No! Stevia is non-fermentable and therefore will not act as a food source for yeast. (This is why stevia is great for anyone suffering from Candida!) Breads will still rise when baked but just not as big.

Why is Stevia just coming onto the market? Stevia has been around for a long time, even in the United States. Early studies on stevia go back to the 1950's but the United States is a nation chin deep in bureaucracy, dirty-politics and corruption. In the 1950's the sugar industry fought to prevent the use of Stevia in the United States. Today, the manufacturers of Nutrasweet (aspartame) have practically bought the FDA to prevent it's approval as a food additive and therefore a sugar substitute. If you don't believe me, contact 60 Minutes of CBS. In the Spring of 1997 they aired a report on how Nutrasweet "bought" influence with the FDA to force the approval of a sweetener that is now blamed for the illnesses and deaths of thousands of Americans.

Why does Stevia cost so much? There are many reasons actually. 1) Stevia is a plant that has to be cultivated before it can be used as a sweetener. This requires large investments of capital to buy plants, farms, equipment, etc. to grow and harvest the plants. There is also the expense of the equipment to process the leaves into the pure stevioside. 2) When compared to sugar and the artificial sweeteners, yes, it is expensive. Stevia is not widely cultivated like sugar is. Sugar is also a very expensive product to grow and process but with hundreds of countries growing and processing sugar, economics becomes a major factor in price. As for the chemical sweeteners, face facts, its nothing but a blend of cheap chemicals. That is why it is so profitable. 3) There are also some people in this business (stevia business) that either have inefficient and expensive suppliers or they are actually (yes I know this is hard to believe) overpricing for the sake of money. They sell low quality stevia and/or they sell stevia using tricky and even confusing marketing practices.

How come diet soft drinks are not sweetened with Stevia? The answer is simple: Money! The diet soft drink market is HUGH, worth billions of dollars and the manufacturer of Nutrasweet is not about to share that market. So the armies of lobbyist were called in to make sure the FDA did not allow the use of Stevia as a food ingredient thereby protecting their market. Nutrasweet has a patent on aspartame and that patent guarantees big profits where Stevia is a natural plant that can be grown by anyone and everyone.

Does Stevia have any effect on hypoglycemia? According to the report Effect of the Stevioside and of the aqueous extract of Stevia Rebaudiana (BERT) Bertoni on the glycemia of normal and diabetic rats By: Professor Carlos Eduardo Pinheiro, Presented to the II Brazilian Convention on Stevia rebaudiana (Bert) Bertoni - September 1982, they found that the use of Stevia did not produce any significant glycemic effects in normal or diabetic rats. In other words, stevia does not add sugar to the blood stream as sugar or even fruit can do. This allows the body to regulate the blood's sugar levels naturally. Of course if you drink tea with stevia with a twinkie, all bets are off but if you are careful with your diet, stevia is a wonderful way to satisfy your cravings for sweets without sugar.

Sunrider's Sunny Dew^® supplement is a potent blend of stevia leaf extract and chrysanthemum flowers. Other brands commonly use a chemical reaction to process stevia, altering its natural structure. However, the stevia in SunnyDew^® undergoes a unique purifying and concentration process that preserves the natural structure found in its whole food form.

Highly concentrated and all natural, SunnyDew^® is an excellent supplement to your diet to help maintain normal blood sugar levels.*

Sunrider SunSmile Herbal Toothpaste

There are hundreds of toothpastes out there in the market, but none of them are as good as they really could be. They have fillers and substances which create foam (soap).


History
When Dr. Chen created the Sunsmile Toothpaste he wanted to break the typical toothpaste mold and start from scratch. Without looking at what had been done in the past, he created a product that could do what toothpaste is intended to do, clean the mouth, teeth and gums. He designed a new herbal toothpaste that is unparallel. It cleans the teeth without soap (sodium laurel sulfate), abrasives or harmful chemicals like fluoride to kill germs (Fluoride will etch anything, including glass; it actually eats up and dissolves tooth enamel). It does not have saccharin, artificial colors or flavorings.


Uniqueness
To explain the uniqueness of SunSmile Toothpaste, Dr. Chen put micro-encapsulated enzymes into the toothpaste. These are enzymes which digest the food particles left between the teeth. When you brush your teeth the capsules break open and release enzymes into the mouth, cleaning up left over food particles that otherwise feed bacteria. Most toothpastes are designed to dissolve plaque or scrub it off. But, Dr. Chen goes straight to the source. If there is no food for bacteria to eat, plaque will not be created in the first place. Additionally, the toothpaste has neem oil which kills bacteria in the mouth and more herbs designed to nourish the gums than any other toothpaste on earth. The power of this toothpaste is unquestionable. There are hundreds of stories about people’s success in healing their gums and teeth with this toothpaste, ranging from gum sensitivity, to pockets in the gums, and less time in the dental chair getting cleanings.

It delivers powerful cleaning action without the potentially harmful ingredients found in regular toothpastes. Read the warning labels on retail brands, then feel the difference with SunSmile® Herbal Toothpaste.

Sharon Stone's Beauty Secrets ("I like Sunrider Calli tea, an herbal cleansing tea.") [Harper's Bazaar]

Sharon Stone's Beauty Secrets

How does Hollywood's hottest 49-year-old maintain that youthful glow, shiny hair, and perfectly toned body? She trusts her basic (beauty) instincts.

When you interview movie stars, it's always interesting to see which ones have obviously spent three hours in hair and makeup before the interview and which ones feel comfortable enough in their own skin to meet you sans makeup, styled hair, or borrowed shoes. This interview with Sharon Stone had its own brilliant beauty trajectory: When I arrived at Stone's suite at the Hotel Gansevoort in Manhattan, she was fresh scrubbed and just settling in to get primped for a big event later that day. As we talked, she was slowly transformed from bedhead and Levi's to a bronzed glamazon in a Missoni dress.

SEE LOOKBOOK: SHARON STONE'S FAVORITES

The first thing you notice about Stone is that even without makeup, she appears preternaturally youthful for a woman about to hit the midcentury mark. Not in that I've-had-my-entire-head-Botoxed way that so many women in Hollywood do, but like someone with enviably good genes who doesn't smoke or drink coffee and probably does Pilates. (Guess what? Her parents are good-looking. She doesn't smoke. Rarely drinks alcohol or caffeine. And, yes, she has used Pilates equipment.)

When Stone stripped down to her Hanky Panky thong so the makeup artist could meticulously bronze her limbs ("Do you mind?" she asked me, already out of her jeans), it became clear that although she claims not to stick to any specific exercise regimen, she has a body that anyone half her age would be thrilled with. Trust me, I saw it up close. This is a woman who takes care of herself.

So it comes as no surprise that in addition to her work as an actress and activist, the perfect skin and nice bod landed Stone a contract in 2005 with a big-time beauty brand, Dior's Capture Totale skin care, reminding everyone that women over 40 have the tools to look fabulous, too.

How did it feel when you got the call from Dior? "I was like, 'Hello? Are you kidding me?' You don't normally think when you're 47 that you're going to have a cosmetics company calling you up. I said to my agent, 'They need to come over and take a look at me. I don't want to change. I don't want to be different than who I am and what I am.' The Dior executives came over, and I booked us a table at an outdoor restaurant. I didn't wear makeup because I wanted them to really look at my face. I wanted them to understand that I wasn't planning on any plastic surgery, and this was it."

What happened at the meeting? "I wanted to know, Why me? They said that year I had stood up at the World Economic Forum at Davos, and they loved that I was courageously standing up for others. They wanted someone who had courage and a voice. I was dumbfounded. I couldn't believe it, because I have had people drop me from other things because they're so afraid of things I've said or done or things I believed in."

I hear you're involved in product development. "When Dior sends me a product, I try it first on my leg or my arm, like you clinically try it. That's how I first tried Capture Totale skin care, and that's how I knew we needed to develop a product for the body because it was so great on my legs. They're making the body product now." (The cream is slated to launch in fall 2008.)

What are your Dior favorites? "Dior makes the best lip glosses going. I'm nuts about them, especially the clear one with the silver sparkles. I got addicted to DiorShow Mascara, too. It makes you look like you're wearing false eyelashes. It's the only one that rivals Maybelline."

What's your everyday makeup routine? "I use Visiora cream base as concealer under my eyes because regular concealer is too heavy. Most make you look older. I like to use Stila cream blush, which I put on with a flat brush. It makes you look sun kissed. I also groom my eyebrows. Oh, and I carry gloss — Clinique Superbalm or the DiorKiss tubes — all the time."

And what about for a big night out? "I can go completely berserk with the makeup, depending on the event. I'm currently in this very mod stage. I wear false lashes and color on my eyelids. I'm really liking shiny eyelids in copper, rose, gold, or silver."

Do you wear fragrance? "I wear Aveda Energizing oil. I am big into aromatherapy."

Your skin looks flawless. How do you take care of it? "I use M.A.C. Wipes or a Shiseido cleansing water to cleanse my face, and then I use all my Dior Capture Totale products. That's it, very quick and simple."

No facials? "No! I don't like people to push and pick at my face."

You're wearing your hair short again. "Rod Ortega gave me this short cut. I have to say I never liked my haircut unless I did it myself. I always cut my own hair. But he did it. He's such a good haircutter, and I love it." (Ortega makes house calls in L.A. Call Solo Artists at 310-558-7656.)

Who does the color? "I was really unhappy with my hair color. I was shooting a movie in Jacksonville, Florida, and I heard there was a colorist, Ron Nepa, who was great. I went to him and he spent four hours and fixed my color, and I really love it. He took all the weird brassiness out, and to top it off, he was so nice." (Call Ron at Arcadia Place salon in Jacksonville at 904-396-6002.)

What are your favorite hair products? "I am nuts about the Tancho stick. It's a styling wax. It works better than anything else, but you have to use it sparingly. Just touch your finger on it and then touch your hair. It makes your hair stand up and gives great tousled texture. Then I spray dry shampoo or the Blondish Hair Powder from Bumble and Bumble. The powder sticks to the wax. I think it's important to change your shampoos and conditioners. I keep at least four different brands going in the shower. Right now, I like John Frieda and PureOlogy. But I don't wash my hair every day, only every three to four days."

Are you a believer in plastic surgery? "If you want to have plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery, live it up; go ahead and have it. But if you don't want to have it, don't have it. All these people who keep saying they gave it to me — well, I must never get out of the operating room! How about I happen to be fine and you have not sliced me? It seems to be unfathomable to people that I just happen to be 49 and look good. I am totally capable of accepting myself."

You're very slim. Do you have a special diet? "I don't really want to be fat, so I stop before I am. I'm not a vegetarian, but I might go through a phase when I'm not interested in eating protein for a week or so, and then I might go through a phase when I eat nothing but steak. I don't use caffeine unless I use it medicinally. I don't eat onions or garlic or a lot of shade fruits because I think of them as medicine. I don't use a ton of dairy, but I feel like I need the fat as I've gotten older. I have the body type, which I think I've been lucky about, that is a little skinny. I am a tea fanatic. I like Sunrider Calli tea, an herbal cleansing tea. I don't like the feeling of being drunk, so drinking hard liquor has never been of interest to me. I have wine with dinner, which I enjoy. My weakness is dark chocolate. I carry little tins of it in my purse."

Do you work out? "I work out only as much as I have to to not be a fat ass. I chase three children to stay in shape. I don't have a regular routine. When I notice things aren't quite where I want them to be, I kind of move more, step it up. You park farther from the door; you take the stairs instead of the elevator."

Do you fear aging? Do you think about it? "Yes. And sometimes I literally have to sit down and look at myself and say, 'You are a lot older, and you look completely different.' You can't just keep doing the same hairdo or the same makeup and the same jewelry and the same look. You have to face the face that you have. I'm not the 32-year-old pretty girl from Basic Instinct.

"The other day, I thought, 'Confront this; you really are starting to look so extreme. What are you going to do about this? You're going to have to change the way you are looking.' This was after I decided I can't deal with the hair extensions. I am done with hair extensions.

"I thought, 'Okay, I'm going to wear a little less makeup and more jewelry. I'm going to wear bolder pieces: huge earrings and bracelets and necklaces.' [I think of] women I admire, like Carmen Dell'Orefice and Paloma Picasso, women that have these really powerful looks. I might as well just go with it."

Sunrider's Kandesn skin care from a professional's perspective

The quality, concentration and effectiveness of the products make
Kandesn® easy to share. While you do not need to be an expert in skin
care or make up to succeed, we want to share the experience of one of
Sunrider's Distributors who is a professional make-up artist.

Director Norma Hill-Patton from Vancouver, Canada has been a
successful professional make-up artist for over 34 years. She has
worked on major feature films such as "Out of Africa," "Double
Jeopardy", "Insomnia" and "Catwoman." Some of the artists she has
worked with include Phil Collins, Paul McCartney, Ryan Phillippe,
Ellen Barkin and Hilary Swank. Hill-Patton is Halle Berry's personal
make-up artist and is currently working on "Two for the Money", where
she will be doing the make-up for Al Pacino and Rene Russo. As the
head of the make-up department, she always tries to use Kandesn®. She
says, "Sometimes, however, the stars insist on using brand names that
have publicity and they are familiar with. Often I am able to
influence their choice into trying the best - which I believe is
Kandesn®."

Recently, Canada Elle featured Hill-Patton in its July 2004 issue and
she named Kandesn® Moisturizing Lip Colors in Raspberry and Toffee as
her favorite lipsticks. She also went to the 2004 Grand Convention in
Long Beach and participated in Sheryl Fitzharris' Kandesn® workshop.
We asked Hill-Patton how she shares Kandesn® in her professional and
Sunrider® business.

How did you become involved with Sunrider and Kandesn®?
A friend gave some NuPuffs® to my son. After enquiring where I could
obtain some, Sheryl Fitzharris did a presentation for me. At her
presentation she also told me about Kandesn® and the business
opportunity.
This was particularly interesting to me as I have always been
concerned with the toxicity of many of the other brands of skin care
and cosmetics out there! Plus, I have long been looking for a business
opportunity that would not only give me a substantial amount of money
(which I can earn in my chosen career), but would also give me the
valuable TIME, that I don't have right now!

Do you cross-sell with the other Sunrider products or is your business
mainly with Kandesn®?
I promote and do my business with ALL of the Sunrider® products
because I love them all. My focus seem to be on Kandesn® because I use
the products in my work. Beauty starts within, so I try to encourage
everyone to at least go on the "basic program' to begin with. This is
especially important for me, as my actors' faces are my "Canvas".

As a professional make-up artist, you are exposed to a huge selection
of skin care and cosmetics. Why did you choose Kandesn®? How does
Kandesn® differ from other skin care and cosmetics?
I do, of course, have available to me nearly every possible brand of
cosmetics and skin care on the market (and many that aren't). I am so
thankful to have discovered Kandesn® as I am now totally confident in
the purity of the product. Also, the make-up looks amazing on the
skin, both to the eye and on the screen - and I don't know of another
product that REJUVENATES the skin at the same time!

What are people looking for in their skin care and cosmetics needs?
Most people are looking for products that look great and are good
value. That's why Sunrider's "concentration" is so wonderful. We
really get value for our money. I don't think that most people realize
just how toxic many other products are, and so it's our job, as
Sunrider® Distributors, to educate them!

What are some of your favorite Kandesn products?
It's very difficult to choose my favorite Kandesn® product because I
love them all! I suppose that my all time favorite has to be Oi-Lin®
Replenish Gel. I love the feel, the smell and most of all the effect!
I have seen the most amazing results both on my own skin and that of
everyone that I have introduced it to!

How do you share Kandesn with other people?
When I introduce Kandesn®, it is usually by using it on people.
However, I believe that we are a "product of the product." I am often
asked what I am wearing, both on my face, and which perfume. By the
way, I love to wear Forbidden™ For Men, which I share with my husband!

How do you see your Kandesn® business growing? What are your goals
with Kandesn®?
I want to become a National Kandesn® Advisor. My goal is to travel
around internationally presenting Kandesn® and teaching people (many
of whom have never done business with the public before) how to do
their own make-up properly. This would give them more confidence,
knowing that they really look good. My professional experience has
taught me that men also benefit from knowing how to disguise the odd
flaw or blemish!

WHAT IS EVERGREEN?

It is a highly concentrated liquid chlorophyll product...addressing the
circulatory and digestive systems. CHLOROPHYLL is the green pigment in
plants that harnesses the sun's energy in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll
is to plants what blood is to humans. Interestingly, the chlorophyll
molecule is chemically similar to human blood, EXCEPT, it's central atom
is magnesium, whereas that of human blood is iron. HOWEVER...when
chlorophyll is consumed and assimilated by humans, it fortifies and
oxygenates our blood and assists the body in building our IRON supply in
the blood. REMEMBER...chlorophyll is NOT iron, therefore it is
difficult to get too much chlorophyll, but you can get too much iron.
Iron supplements are often synthetic, causing a build-up and often
causing constipation.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE LOW IN IRON?
People may have different symptoms...but I will share my experience.
I have battled it at times...as YES it often is a reaction in
menstrual or
Menopause process. First indication is a general weakness in the
nerves and muscles feeling as if I have no strength, a tingling in the
fingers, and a slight depression and feeling of wanting to weep.
A single test you can do yourself, which always proves true for women
and men who have used it, (thanks to my aunt's wisdom) is : Go to a
mirror, pull down your lower eye-lid and look at the inner color of the
eye-lid. If it is pale (often the same color as your skin) you are low
in iron. It should be a healthy red.

Iron deficiency is most often caused by insufficient intake...However,
it can result from intestinal bleeding, excessive menstrual bleeding,
poor digestion, long term illness, ulcers, prolonged use of antacids,
excessive coffee or black tea consumption, deficiency of Vitamins B6 or
B12. Use Sunrider's VITASPRAY to help hemoglobin production. And last
but not least...Dr. Jensen in his book "Nature Has A Remedy" says "Cast
out fear. Stop using the motor force of the brain, such as that used in
leadership, driving in traffic, working with a high-pressure boss,
antagonism, resistive feelings, lecturing, gossiping and heavy
responsibilities. Get exercise. Iron attracts oxygen. Send the
anemic to the mountains, where the air is alive and pure and where
nature develops the will faculties." INTERESTING, huh!!

There are many liquid chlorophyll products on the market. Some are good,
some not as good. Dr. Chen of Sunrider, began researching Evergreen
with the understanding that the human body can only use chlorophyll in
its natural oil soluble state. However, all liquid chlorophyll
supplements, in order to remain stable, become water soluble during
processing and the body can't get as much from them. Thus the key word
is ASSIMILABLE.

Dr. Chen said drinking Evergreen would be like giving the body a blood
transfusion.

EVERGREEN comes in a ½ oz vial of liquid...10 vials to a box . (See
catalog)

Mix 1 vial of Evergreen into at least 8 oz or more of water or liquid.
You may add it to Calli or Fortune Delight.

Lorene H. in Illinois reports that they have brought down
grandchildren's fevers quickly, by opening a vial, inserting a straw and
letting the child sip it right out of the vial.

It is wonderful for digestive disturbances and bowels or bleeding in the
colon. It sweetens the breath, digestive system and bowels, and
lubricates the illeocecal valve, the valve that sometimes sticks in your
lower right abdomen where the small intestine empties into the large
intestine (colon), and causes discomfort and back-up...and if you drink
chlorophyll regularly, you probably won't need underarm deodorant.
Helps with kidney and bladder function to eliminate water retention in
the body. Chlorophyll is great for nausea or morning sickness in
expectant mothers.
Good for colic in babies. Research in World War II revealed applying
chlorophyll
to wounds helped keep the wounds clean and speed
healing. Helps keep infection down in the body.

Other iron food include: blackstrap molasses, dulse, kelp, almonds,
beets.
Another SUNRIDER food that is a good source of iron is DANDELION.

But none as QUICKLY effective as SUNRIDER's refreshing slightly mint
flavored EVERGREEN.

Would you like to take the vitality test?

WHAT IS VITALITY ANALYSES?

Vitality Analyses is a system which measures the Vitality in anything living, such as people, plants and animals. Vitality has also been called "life force", "chi" and "prana". Dale Doram, M.Sc., has been researching this field for over 7 years. For example, in one study Coke was found to have a lower Vitality than carrot juice. We know from experience that soft drinks lower our Vitality as they contain no real nutrition.

Likewise, sometimes our bodies feel fresh and vibrant after we breathe mountain air or take a walk after a spring shower. We could say that we have more Vitality. Sometimes we feel tired and dull and in a bad mood. We could say that we have low Vitality that day.

Vitality Analyses uses a specially designed Bio-computer used by a highly trained technician to analyse the Vitality in foods, supplements, our bodies, immune system, etc. It has been found that the Vitality of the body can be enhanced through proper nutrition. The purpose of Vitality Analyses is to measure the bio-energetic impulses of the human Vitality body taking into account the uniqueness of your own body as well as its present conditions.

Our birthright is health and balance. ill health and disease result when balance is lost either through an excess or deficiency of energy in our system. In Vitality Analyses we do not measure disease but instead measure the subtle interplay of body Vitality. Many ancient systems of health have talked about the vital essence of the body. Sometimes it is called

"Chi", "Qi", "Prana" or "Life Force". It is a natural flowing movement that nourishes every cell in the body. When there is a high Vitality (chi or prana) in the body there is less chance of disease because there is less stagnation or inertia in the the vital body and the body can cleanse, balance and heal in accord with the laws of nature. We have found through the experience of hundreds of people that certain changes in lifestyle and nutrition can have a large impact on our vitality.


A UNIQUE FEATURE of Vitality Analyses is that it can assess whether specific foods or supplements will enhance your Vitality prior to your taking or purchasing them. Just think of the savings!

Vitality Analyses can help you to:

I. Plan a nutritional and lifestyle program to optimize your Well Being.

2. Receive feedback about your body on which aspect is limiting your Well Being the most right now.,

3. Learn about the whether toxins, such as heavy metals and colon accumulations, inhibit your Vitality. 4. Find out other factors that can be inhibiting your Vitality such as:

-food sensitivities (ie. allergies)

-Candida Syndrome

-environmental allergies

-stagnation or inertia in vital organs(eg.liver,

kidneys)

5. Discover which foods, herbs and supplements will enhance your Vitality the most right now.

6: Monitor your well being over time so that excess or deficiencies of Vitality can be prevented before they manifest as disease.

7. Save money on supplements by only consuming the ones you need!

Are SR products G.E. and Organic

Date: October 6, 2001 11:23:13 AM PDT

Subject: Are SR products G.E. and Organic

Dear Sunriders:

   As we are sponsoring more new people into Sunrider, questions come up by our new distributor.  Such a question has come to me about SR plants that DR. Chen uses in our food products, being Genetically Modified?

   The simple answer is NO.  Emphatically NO.

   I forwarded the question to Mrs. Chen.  Her answer backed me up.  Sunrider Products that use plants, are NOT Genetically Engineered, Modified or Altered in any way.

   I responded back to our new distributor the following letter, giving my personal experience on the subject.

   You may want to make this question clearly answered for all your new distributors you sponsor or who are in your downline.

   Here is my answer.  I hope it helps you share Sunrider products with confidence.  Our products are    CLEAN AND GREEN.  Which means to me they are environmentally safe and friendly!!

Dr. Chen mentioned at convention that 70%- to 75% of all ingredients used in our household products were unsafe and contained toxic ingredients that were harmful to our body.

   Folks, as I have said before, it is my belief that Sunrider products in today's world could be the POLLUTION SOLUTION!

   Thanks for your commitment and loyalty.  We appreciate you.

   Enthusiastically,

   Sharon Farnsworth

Dear Wayne:

   Thank you for your email.  I have forwarded it on to the Chens.

   But I would like to take the opportunity to discuss the issue with you.

   First of all there is no world wide standards for organic.

   My husband is a farmer here in Utah, and even here in Utah there are no standards like California for organic.

   So we are talking terms that mean different things to different people.  Is that fair?  So to have it in writing may not apply to every country, as SR is an International company, dealing in about 35 or more different countries.

   So again we are talking legal terms, aren't we?

   But let me explain what I tell people in my presentations.  I like to take the company profile and show the botanical gardens.  I explain that SR owns 1000 acres of land high up in the tops of the mountains in Taiwan.  It is close to a town called Gaee. (And that is not the correct spelling, just how it sounds.)

   A few years ago, Sunrider sponsored a convention in Taiwan and Hong Kong.  At that time l8 bus loads of USA Sunriders were privileged to visit the Botanical Gardens in Taiwan.  I was the captain of our bus.  When we arrived at the botanical gardens, we were met by The Chens.  Dr. Tie Fu became our personal guide.  I was so impressed, and so was my husband who farms.

   I then took Dr. Chen by surprise by asking him questions.  I asked him what type of fertilizer he used.  He said they only used sea vegetation.  Then I asked him what kind of pesticides and spray they used.  He said they didn't use any.  I asked him how they could do that.

   His answer was a real learning experience for me. DR Chen said, "When the soil is balanced with nutrition or the elements the plants need that the plant is healthy and resists the bugs, just like when we have a healthy body, it is more resistant to disease."  He said they might get an occasional bug, but nothing to worry about.  If his workers find a bug, they just squish it.

   My husband was so impressed that DR Chen could raise 1000 acres of so many different kind of plants for research and do it in our terms, "organically" that he came home with a new resolve.  That if Dr. Chen could do it, he could do it.  My husband John then proceeded to tear up over 4000 apple trees to start over organically.  He is still working on that project.  This year we have and are harvesting apples peaches, tomatoes, melons, cucumbers squash, many different varieties of peppers, Zucchini and yellow squash and more.  It is all nearly organic.  And I can tell you the flavor is out of this world.

   Another thing I learned from Dr. Chen is that there is a direct correlation to the size, flavor, taste and nutritional content of our food.  The better it tastes, the more nutrients it contains.  I can testify this is true.  The produce we raise on our 25 Acer Sandy farm and our 950 Acer Lake View farm tastes so much better than the produce we can purchase else where, but mostly compared to the grocery stores.  Those tomatoes taste like cardboard in comparison to a vine ripened healthy organic tomatoes.

   I do know that Dr. Chin's research at the botanical gardens has earned him an honorary doctorate degree from the Chinese Cultural University in Taiwan.

   I do know that Dr. Chen requires all the farmers that raise herbs that go into our foods, to raise them to his standards, (which is probably higher than organic) or he will not use their crops.  These herbs are tested and tasted when they are purchased and arrive at our processing plants, rather they are in Taiwan, USA, China Singapore or now India.  If they do not meet Dr. Chens standard of growing, they are rejected and not used.  Common sense will tell anyone who understands the enhancement and concentration processing, that he can't make nutrients and concentrate them, if they are not there to begin with.

   Another thing that I have been very impressed with is that Dr. Chen had herb masters that at the botanical gardens would taste the finished product for quality taste etc.  These tea masters could actually tell you the name of the farmer who had raised the particular herbs that were used in that particular batch, just from the taste.

   Another thing you might be interested to know is that our herbs are taken to a plant in Hong Kong where they are hand cleaned.  That means they are cleaned by people by hand, to make sure there is no foreign object or elements in the herbs.  They are then put into barrels, sealed. And stamped by the USA agricultural department.  There is an officer employed to inspect our herbs for cleanliness.

   When they are shipped into the USA for instance, all herbs by law that are not inspected prior to their entry to the USA have to be irradiated and fumigated.  The law is that 10% of the whole of herbs imported into the USA can be something other than the herb listed on the label.  That means that little insects or mouse droppings could be in there.  All of Sunrider's herbs are cleaned and cleared before by having the stamp of approval on the barrel. So they do not have to go through this process, which in my opinion would destroy some of the nutritional value of the plants.

   So when we talk clean, we mean clean.

   Your other question about GMO or Genetically altered plants:

   Dr. Chen has very strong opinion against anything Genetically Altered.  I know this for a fact, again from talking with him.  You see, Drs. Chens are my sponsors in SR.  I have had the distinct privilege of studding and learning from him, before he started Sunrider.  I knew him for about two or three years before Sunrider.

   Since Sunrider, I have been trained by him personally on all the foods and products.  He is a very futuristic man.  He knew so many things that he was teaching me, and I was trying to teach my downline, about 20 years before our scientists and doctors are learning today and telling us.  I trust these people in Sunrider.  I know the background.  I know the quality.  I had serious health challenges before eating SR foods and was on a quest of excellence of health.  No one had the answers or solutions like SR's ancient Chinese whole food concentrates.

   Another thing that you may not know is that Dr. Chen now owns a very large pharmaceutical plant in Taiwan, that he inherited from his uncle, when he died.  I remember Dr. Chen telling me about his uncle, and how he had trained him and he had worked for his uncle when he was younger.

   Dr. Chen has turned this pharmaceutical plant now into his research and development plant.  I have traveled all over the world with Drs. Chens.  When I was in Malaysia speaking for the grand opening, I was with a Chinese couple that were friends of Drs. Chens.  The husband was the General manager for Taiwan, and I had known him before, form visiting Taiwan.  But this time, I was having a chance to get better acquainted with his wife.  Just by chance, I asked her if she worked or what she did.  She very humbly told me that she also worked for Drs. Chens in Taiwan.  That she was the head of his research and development laboratory in Taiwan.  I had no idea who she was.  Both of these people were classmates of Drs. Chens when they attended the Kaosuin (not spelled correctly) Medical College.  Which I incidentally have also been with them when they returned for the first time after graduating some years before?

   Again while with Dr. Chen in Mexico, there was a medical doctor who was requesting an appointment with DR. Chen.  I was fortunate enough to be invited to sit in, as the guy was in my down line.  The question that the MD had for Dr. Chen was: "What is you opinion on Genetic Engineering?"  Well, after about two hours of discussion by the two, I found out how really against GE or GMO Dr. Chen really is.  He really got emotional at how bad it is and do we really know what we are doing with this technology?  I know he personally is very much against it.  With his strict enforcement of all the plants being used in our foods.  I can tell you that he wouldn't consider using such plants.

   I am a very strong proponent against Genetic Engineering.  I have been on my band wagon, trying to wake up people against it.

   Dr. Chen is very fussy about the seeds that are used for the planting of the plants.  He doesn't even use hybrid seeds.  He doesn't like to purchase soy beans or any plants from the USA, if he can help it, because, he doesn't like the way our plants are grown here.  If there is a choice for the plant, grown inside or outside of the USA, he prefers outside.  Even if the price is higher.  He controls the farmers as to how they raise their plants.

   He would never considered buying apples from my husband to put in Nu Plus, because of the pesticides and sprays my husband used to use.  Now he has changed.

   In private conversations with me, he would tell me of his concern for my husband, because of the poison he used on our farm.  Now that has changed.  But I can tell you that those early years of me using guthion and other toxic sprays on the apples, really affected my health.  It was one of the contributing reasons, I was searching for truth and knowledge to save my own life and health.  You see when we were first married, John, my husband had to get other jobs to support us until the farm started producing.  So I then became his only farm hand.  I then had to do the work, which I didn't like at all doing.  And it nearly killed me in the process.  I would mix the toxic spray and spray the trees. Even though I wore a respirator, my body was sprayed with the toxic substance.  But we all have to learn, don't we?

   Well, I don't have legal documentation for you.  I don't know of any literature that exactly states what you are asking for.

   But I have told you my personal experience with SR, and Drs. Chens.  I don't know if it helps or not, but it is the best I can do.  Learning from the master himself is about all I can do for you.

   I can appreciate your concerns.  They were my concerns also as you could see from my experience.  He personally has answered my concerns.  But the best way I can tell you is eating the foods, and experiencing the renewal of my health has been worth everything to me.  I know the products are safe, clean, green pure and environmentally safe. They do what our literature and training says.  They nourish, cleanse and help bring the body back to balance.

   Sunriders foods and products have been one of the greatest blessings of my life. And they can bless anyone who will use these fabulous products.

   Sometimes, we have to have faith and trust.

   May I suggest, for your own benefit so you can see with your own eyes, and you can learn firsthand yourself, as I have, that you not miss next years Sunrider World Convention?  It will be held in Anaheim on August 5, 2002.  You can visit the botanical gardens in Torrance.  You can visit the production facilities in the City Of Industry.  Unties you experience these places yourself, you have no idea what it is like.  And the fact that SR lets you visit these plants, is unheard of in today's manufacturing world.  Take advantage of the opportunities that awaits you.

   Your life will be blessed. Your family will be blessed.  And you can give the gift of health beauty and wealth, just by helping us share Sunrider with others.  You can then bless the lives of others.

   We have over 100,000 distributors in our SR Family in the USA and Canada.  And we are only just beginning to share a very timely message with the world.  You can help.

   I hope in some small way that this has helped you to have more knowledge and understanding about Sunrider. I love Sunrider.  It is something I am really passionate about.

 

  Enthusiastically,
