WHY SUNRIDER FOODS?

WHY SUNRIDER?
Here are several reasons why the Sunrider
products are so effective and unique. There
are also many reasons why the Sunrider
opportunity makes for a very secure, stable and very
profitable business.

I know, I know, everybody says their products and
opportunity are the best! After 18 years as a
consumer and 16 years doing the business, I can tell
you from experience that it doesn’t get any better.
In the health and wellness industry we have two
separate philosophies:
• Treatment or substitution
• Nourishing and strengthening

TREATMENT OR SUBSTITUTION
Many people seek out treatment for their health
problems. It is easy to take a pill and a protein
powder along with their coffee and bagel in the
morning and expect big results. It is the same as
seeking treatment for a condition without looking at
your lifestyle. That approach will give only mediocre
results and is unfortunately, what most seek. The
reason they seek this, is because it is all they know.

NOURISHING AND STRENGTHENING
The Sunrider philosophy is about going to the cause
of the problem. This is done by adding in herbal
nourishing and strengthening foods and eliminating
harmful ones.

Imagine if you will, going to the grocery store and
filling your cart up with foods that are system
specific. In aisle 6 you find digestive system food,
aisle 3 has glandular system food, and aisle 7 has
foods to nourish the female and male reproductive
systems.

In aisle 2 you have a selection of beverages that
gently cleanse your body. They help to flush fat and
improve functions like mental clarity. They contain
no caffeine but leave you feeling energetic. Aisle 1
has foods that are very nutritionally dense. They
consist of many different beans and exotic herbs, are
low in fat, low in calories and contain no sugars,
preservatives, dairy or wheat products.
Aisles 4 and 5 are the sports and fat management
nutrition sections. Aisles 8 and 9 have herbal
personal care, skin care, make up and household
products, all very safe, very unique and very high
quality.

Some may wonder why anyone would shop there.
They like their regular grocery store foods and they
leave it up to their doctor to worry about the internal
body stuff.

To be open to this concept, we first have to believe
that our body has the ability to heal and rebuild itself,
if provided with the right raw materials. Also, we
have to believe that there is a benefit to this, which is
feeling and looking better. For 5000 years the
Chinese researched the human body and with
thousands of plants. The goal was keep the body and
its individual body systems, young and healthy for as
long as possible by nourishing it with food herbs.
This is what the Sunrider philosophy is based on.

TELL ME ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT OWN SUNRIDER
I am sure that there are many brilliant men and
women who create products. Scientists, and chemists
work in labs constantly doing this. This is not
something most people ask themselves but when is
the last time you went to see a chemist or scientist
about your health? You wouldn’t. So what is my
point?

Dr Chen, originally from Taiwan is a master herbalist
with the working knowledge of 4000 plants and can
identify most of those 4000 plants by taste. Dr Chen
has volumes of ancient Chinese manuscripts as well
as a degree in pharmacy and biochemistry. His wife
Oi Lin, originally from Hong Kong, is a licensed
medical doctor. They started Sunrider in 1982 which
is a debt free company with warehouses in most of
the 35 countries it does business in. I have had the
honor of working with the Chens for many years and
respect them highly.

WHAT ARE DR CHEN’S STANDARDS IN QUALITY?
If we take a closer look at how Dr Chen creates his
formulas, it gives us a standard that we would expect

Prepared For The Use Of The Pendree Sunrider Family
Why Sunrider Foods? Section C Page 3
others to match. The Chens look after every aspect
from raw materials, research and development, to the
finished product. The Chens are fanatics for quality
but what does that mean? Quality to the Chens is
several things:

1. Making the product from food herbs only. (like
carrots and beans) This insures the customer safe
products, safe for infants, nursing mothers, etc.

2. Knowing the product is very unique and
effective. What I mean is this; several years ago
Dr. Chen came out with toothpaste. He explained
that he had been working on it for five years.
Regular toothpaste is usually just sugar, filler
and some fluoride, a formula that anybody could
whip up. Chen says before you create a product,
you have to ask, “What is its purpose?”
Toothpaste should kill bacteria, nourish the gums
and whiten teeth. So he came up with an herbal
formula with enzymes from pineapple (to digest
food particles for several hours after brushing),
baking soda to clean and whiten, and several
herbs to nourish the gums. A totally unique
product that is very effective and without using
fluoride and sugar.

3. Combinations, enhancement and concentration
ensure perfection. Most people look at the
ingredients of a product, and don’t put anymore
thought into it. At Sunrider, there is so much
more that goes into it.

A real Sunrider difference is the way Dr. Chen
treats the herbs. Dr. Chen understands that no
herb is perfect by itself. It starts by each herb
having parts removed and being soaked in the
teas of other plants. Some are baked to enhance
them. Some are sprouted to increase nutrition
and digestibility. Then the plants are combined
together in ways to support and further enhance
one another. This is all done according to the
ancient manuscripts. The next step is extraction.
The herbs are juiced so that all the precious
nutrients are separated from the fiber. After this
the liquid is condensed, the water is removed and
a thick rich liquid remains. This is sprayed onto a
finely ground tumbling powder that was
prepared before that specific formula was juiced.
This procedure is called flow coating. The
powder is then put into tea bags, capsules, or
packages. Some of the formulas are packaged
while in the rich liquid stage.

4. The products must be pure with no chemicals or
heavy metals. Sunrider owns over a million
square feet of manufacturing facilities. In July of
2004 Dr. Chen announced that he had just
purchased an additional 850 thousand square feet
that he was going to use for manufacturing as
well. This would house his newest equipment.
All the facilities are equipped with the most state
of the art equipment money can buy. It is an
amazing experience to tour these facilities, see
the equipment and realize the lengths the Chens
have taken to ensure quality. The new building is
for the newest equipment that they have been
using to concentrate herbal foods down 30-40
times concentration from the 10-20 times before.
This facility will also house his newest
equipment to purify raw materials. Dr. Chen
explained that he was always able to keep the
herbs pure. Many friends of mine have done the
journey up the mountains in China where many
of the raw materials come from. Dr. Chen said
that over time acid rain has contaminated soil
that has been organically farmed since the
beginning of time. Chemicals and heavy metals
need to be extracted from the herbs, they can’t be
washed off. This is the level of commitment Dr.
Chen has to his company and his consumers.
I have never found another company where the
owners have the Chen’s level of expertise and
the willingness to invest in facilities. There are
no short cuts in making a quality product like
Sunrider. The land and building for this latest
facility cost the Chens 200 million dollars. The
equipment that will go inside the building could
be triple that amount.

WHAT TYPE OF PRODUCTS DO THEY MAKE?
Over the last 21years Dr. Chen has developed
products one by one to include the following product
lines.

• A basic health program of herbal food formulas,
foods and beverages.
• Specific herbal formulas to provide extra
support. For example, herbal Viagra called Veros
for men and Bella for women. These products
not only spice up the sex life but will help your
body function more efficiently in many areas
such as stronger muscles and better circulation.
• A fat management program of herbal food
formulas, foods and beverages.
• A sports nutrition program of herbal food
formulas, foods and beverages.
Prepared For The Use Of The Pendree Sunrider Family
Why Sunrider Foods? Section C Page 4
• Herbal personal care products like tooth paste,
deodorant, shampoo etc.
• Herbal skincare and make up.
• Environmentally safe products to use around the
house and garden.
• These are all amazing and I could tell you story
after story of how my family uses them and
loves them.

DOES THE MARKET PLACE WANT THESE PRODUCTS?
The market place wants exactly what Sunrider has. In
Paul Zane Pilzer’s book, titled “The Wellness
Revolution,” he sets out criteria for the perfect
business in this industry. This industry is forecast to
be the next trillion dollar industry and is already well
on it’s way.

PAUL PILZER’S 5 “MUST HAVES” FOR THIS INDUSTRY.
1. Affordability - Products need to be affordable
to the masses. The Sunrider products are high
quality and yet affordable. Our beverages for
example cost 0.15 - 0.25 cents per cup. No one
would order the whole catalogue at once nor
would you do that anywhere. People start slowly
and replace the products into their life. If they do
that, often they can even save money.

2. Legs - After the masses hear about it, the
product needs to stay in demand. How many
times have we seen a product come and go? That
was one of the main things that caught my
attention. People enjoy these products enough
that about 60% will continue consuming them
forever plus they tell others.

3. Continual Consumption - It costs
corporations roughly $100 per customer to get
consumers to use a new product. If you don’t
have a product that people will purchase over
and over, you may not recover your promotion
costs or make a profit. In the industry of
Network marketing, our cost per customer is
much lower, because our overhead is much
lower. Like I mentioned previously, 60% of
Sunrider’s consumers continue to purchase
month after month.

4. Universal Appeal - products and services must
be desired by the masses. People like options,
different flavors and product choices. Sunrider
has that; different flavors, different textures, and
different programs to suit the individual.

5. Low Consumption Time - People must have
time to enjoy a product. It’s even more
appealing if it can save them time. Sunrider
products make being health minded easy. Some
spend a lot of time and energy in this area. Once
they discover the Sunrider products, they are not
only grateful for the convenience but for how
much better they feel as well.
In Pilzer’s book, he asks you to write down several
wellness businesses and run them through the list of
criteria as you read the book. I chose 16 different
businesses and after running them all through the
criteria, I could really see why it has always been so
easy to build a business with Sunrider.

HOW DOES THE BUSINESS WORK?
Instead of selling their products in stores, the Chens
decided to use word of mouth distribution or
Network marketing instead. Whenever you have a
product that is unique and above average in quality, it
needs to be explained personally. You won’t get that
from a retailer that sells a variety of products.
Network marketing naturally allows a proper
explanation because it is two or more people sitting
down discussing a product or service with one
another.

Distributors also benefit from recruiting other
Distributors into the business. Many people are
looking for additional income and security. Helping
people achieve this by introducing them to Sunrider
and supporting them can be very rewarding and
profitable.

Network marketing has been known to work 10 times
more effectively than traditional advertising. The key
is choosing a good company with the right products,
building the business properly and having great upline
support.

Sunrider is a debt free company. This allows them
the luxury of paying their Distributors well for their
efforts. Sunrider pays 58.5% of its gross revenues
back to its Distributors. This way Dr. Chen could
benefit from word of mouth exposure, and reward the
Distributors for looking after marketing the product.
In the end, the customers receive better service and it
allows the Chens to do what they do best, develop
products.

Sunrider warehouses the products for us. Most
consumers order directly from the warehouse in his
or her country of residence. Sunrider keeps track of
all the orders by having new customers register
Prepared For The Use Of The Pendree Sunrider Family
Why Sunrider Foods? Section C Page 5
before they can order. They can only do this through
a Preferred Customer or Distributor. Commission
checks are sent out monthly for the volume that has
gone through your business.

IS THE BUSINESS FAIR?
The marketing plan is set up to support people well at
every level. Besides the percentages Distributors
receive on their Sales Volume, Sunrider takes small
percentages of the entire company volume to put into
bonus pools. These bonuses are paid to Distributors
who are at different key levels. It enables a very parttime
person to earn enough income to take the
business seriously. Directors are an example of this
and are the backbone of the marketing plan. They are
most in touch with the consumers.

A Director earns $1200-$1600 CND or $930-1220
USD per month on average. The average time
commitment is 5-10 hours per week. The time it
takes to become a Director is 4-6 months. A Director
only needs 20-30 people to qualify on average.
Group Director is a great position to be in as well.
You need to have developed four Directors in width,
in your group. The average income is $5000-$8000
CND or $3500-$6000 USD per month. The average
time commitment is 20 hours per week. The time it
takes to become a Group Director is 1-2 years after
you have become a Director.
There are many other levels but I will not go into
them at this time.
Sunrider also pays profit sharing, travel incentive and
achievement bonuses.

IS THE BUSINESS DIFFICULT?
The business is simple. All you need is to be
confident about it and follow the principals and
concepts explained in the Business Section of this
Information Kit.

SUNRIDER HISTORY
Sunrider celebrated its first year in business in
December of 1982. For

At the beginning people scoffed, "people want
quick fixes in this throw-away society," they said. Dr.
Chen was convinced in his beliefs and poured
hundreds of millions of dollars into creating the finest
herbal food production facilities on this planet. Since
its founding in 1982, Sunrider has shown exceptional
growth, expanding into 31 countries by the year 2000
with a volume of over $2.5 million dollars per day.
Now that we have paved the way, the very same
people that said Sunrider would fail, are falling over
themselves to jump on what they perceive to be the
"Chinese herb bandwagon" or the "health product
bandwagon."

Sunrider foods are based on 3,000 years of research
in China before the great wall was constructed.
During this time, many herbal food formulas were
developed to nourish and establish balance in the
body. The Philosophy Of Regeneration was the
fundamental principle of Chinese herb food nutrition.
Over 161,000 pieces of data were recovered during
this 3,000 year period with only 36 entries to disease.
Their focus was health and longevity, not disease and
cures. 2000 years ago, the period known as the
"Warring States" began in China. Strife divided the
country and walls protecting the borders of many
small provinces began dotting the land. In an effort to
unite the country, the emperor at that time began a
construction project to join the several smaller walls
into one great wall. This took 200 years and was
completed during the Ming Dynasty at the height of
the warring states.

ANCIENT CHINESE PHILOSOPHY OF REGENERATION TURNS TO ONE OF
SUBSTITUTION.
Centuries of war took its toll; plagues and disease
swept across the continent. Gradually, the Philosophy
Of Regeneration was changed into one of
substitution. Herbs were diverted from their role as
foods that nourished and strengthened, to foods that
treated wounds, injuries and disease. Many of the
ancient manuscripts of life replenishing life were
discarded in favor of more immediate substitutions
which came with side effects and imbalances like our
modern day drugs.

A few traditionalists remained who held the ancient
philosophy sacred. With the new science taking over,
the old volumes that accurately taught the principles
of longevity and health were stored away.
In the early 1900's during the Boxer Rebellion, Dr.
Chen's family came to possess several volumes of the
ancient manuscripts which were not destroyed. This
is why the Jade Book, for example (which Dr. Chen
owns) is so valuable. All Sunrider products are
created based on the wisdom from these records and
the Chens' expertise. What is the Chens' expertise?
Dr. Chen is a master herbalist with the working
knowledge of 4,000 herbs, a pharmacist and
biochemist. His wife, Dr. Oi Lin Chen, is a western
medical doctor. Drs. Chen own Sunrider and have
personally developed over 100 products that are safe,
can be eaten or used every day and are of the highest
quality and concentration.

To try these products you can become a customer or
a distributor and order directly from Sunrider or
purchase from a local distributor.

HOW DOES THE SIMPLE PROCESS OF DISEASE AND ILLNESS OCCUR AND
WHAT SIMPLE STEPS CAN YOU TAKE TO HELP YOUR BODY REVERSE IT?
ll diseases start in the stomach! Dr. Chen has
always said this. If you don't have a good
digestive system, the rest of your body will
eventually become malnourished and diseased.

HERE IS HOW IT WORKS!
When we are young our stomachs should have a high
acid content (digestive enzyme). This acid digests all
the substances that we put into our mouths -
especially protein. Covering the inside of our
stomachs is a mucous lining that keeps the acid from
irritating the stomach wall. The more acid the
stomach makes the more mucous the stomach
produces.

As we eat dead toxic foods, such as coffee, tea,
chocolate, sugar, alcohol, artificial sweeteners,
preservatives, salt, or tobacco (as most people have
sometime in their life), the stomach is irritated and
weakened to the point where it only produces a small
amount of acid or digestive enzyme. This causes a
decrease in the mucous lining of the stomach. The
body's inner intelligence says, "Why make lots of
mucous if there's only a little acid?" When this
happens, irritation of the stomach lining occurs as
acid levels are increased by certain foods resulting in
heartburn and ulcers. If the irritation of the stomach
continues, Hiatus Hernia will result from spasms and
tightening of the stomach. A recent study showed that
50% of the population, by age 40, suffer from Hiatus
Hernia.

As the digestion becomes weaker from a lack of
digestive enzymes, it leaves more of the digestive
processes to be completed in the small and large
intestines. As this matter passes through the small
intestine, there will be small particles of proteins that
have not yet been broken down - these are called
protein chains. These proteins are absorbed along
with the nutrients into the liver through the portal
vein that is connected to the intestines. Studies
suggest that any undigested proteins which pass
through the stomach turn to toxicity. These
undigested proteins can show up as food allergies, the
symptoms of which can be headaches, boils or
rashes.

As food passes or moves along into the large
intestine, wastes accumulate and ferment. We are
hosts to good bacteria as well as bad bacteria (often
Candida). There are over four hundred different types
of microorganisms found in the intestines, which all
together are called the intestinal flora. Most of them
are "friendly" aids, important to the digestive process.
They make B vitamins and lactic acid for us which
improve digestion, and increase absorption. As well,
they aid peristalsis of the intestine and make Vitamin
K. Vitamin K aids in blood clotting and helps
produce chemicals that hinder the unfriendly bacteria.
The problem occurs when we put the slow digestion
together with the "bad" bacteria. Would you leave
food lying around in a dark, warm, germ-infested tub
for a day or more? Many people don't have a bowel
movement for 3 days or sometimes for even a week.
and the bad bacteria would gladly digest anything
remaining from your slow digestion process. As a
result, the bacteria spew out up to 75 different toxins
like ammonia, alcohol, and formaldehyde. So again,
the weaker the stomach - the worse the fermenting
process.

All these nutrients and chemicals are absorbed into
the liver. The liver's job is to filter out the poisons
and neutralize them. This is where bile comes from -
neutralized toxins. Wow! Isn't the body incredible - it
takes something bad and turns it into something
good. As well, the bile's job is to emulsify or break
down fat. So if a person doesn't have healthy bile, the
fat in your diet becomes more difficult to break down
allowing it to be stored much more easily.
When the liver becomes over-worked from too many
toxins coming in, it starts to produce toxic bile. The
body's response to toxic bile can be inflammation or
hot spots in the duodenum, as well as the small and
large intestines. Symptoms of this inflammation are
known as colitis, Crohn's disease, duodenum ulcers,
diarrhea and bladder infections, to name a few. As
the liver becomes overworked, the blood becomes
toxic. This is where signs of eczema, boils, arthritis,
headaches, acne and poor mental clarity show up. As
the toxic blood begins to pollute the body, the
kidneys become over-worked causing kidney
infections and lymph problems to appear.
The lymphatic system is where your immune system
lives and when it starts to become toxic, problems
like colds, infections, bronchitis, asthma, and
tonsillitis can develop.

When our spleen, which is the final filter of the body
becomes weak from overwork and overload, it begins
to let poisons pass into the nervous system. This
causes the cutting and damaging of nerves and
muscles, which interferes with body processes and
communication. It is here where diseases like
Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis, Cancer,
Parkinson's and Fibromyalgia can appear. These
poisons can even destroy genes that make up our
genetic structures. Perhaps this is why we are seeing
diseases in children today that only adults had a few
years ago.

So possibly what we put in our mouth does make a
difference in our health and genetic structures. It is
often damage that we did to ourselves when we were
young that creep up on us a little later in life, even
after we have thrown away most of the bad habits.

HOW TO REVERSE THE DISEASE PROCESS
here are several medications prescribed by
doctors to make things a little more
comfortable and perhaps slow down the
process a little, but there isn't much hope
unless you make some big changes in your lifestyle.
Many people, when a health crisis occurs, think that a
drug, vitamin pill, a walk around the block or a
low-fat pastry, can get rid of all their health
problems.
The only way to reverse the process of disease is to
start from scratch. We must take responsibility for
our own health by getting proper exercise having a
proper mental attitude and receiving adequate
nutrition with the right varieties of whole foods.

THIS IS WHERE SUNRIDER COMES IN:
CALLI OR FORTUNE DELIGHT- When people
start drinking Calli or Fortune Delight, they find that
the taste for coffee, tea, sodas and other beverages
start to decrease considerably. Calli and Fortune
Delight not only replace these beverages but also
help improve your digestion and aid in your
elimination processes.

SWEETENER OF YOUR CHOICE - STEVIA -
(Suncare and Suncare Plus Herbal Skincare) - Many
people have chosen to replace sugar with Stevia.
They have found benefits of reduced blood sugar
problems, reduced sugar cravings and increased
energy levels.

NUPLUS - A blend of 15 plants that supply the body
with a variety of its nutritional needs. NuPlus, which
is easily digested and very nourishing, makes a great
snack instead of junk food. NuPlus also aids our
digestion by discouraging us from eating salt, sugar,
and junk food.
These 3 food products alone can greatly enhance our
health because food choices will begin to change
naturally and regeneration can begin.

QUINARY - The Quinary nourishes and supports the
five main systems of your body, (Digestive,
Circulatory, Immune, Respiratory, and Endocrine)
and is a unique combination of food herbs formulated
to help your body achieve balance.
With the help of less toxic foods and better nutrition,
the body can start to balance and govern itself. The
digestion starts first. When the stomach begins to
work more efficiently, the whole digestive process
can speed up. The stomach begins to digest its
proteins so the liver gets a break from the undigested
proteins chains. The food is now passing through the
intestines much faster so there is less fermentation,
and less chemicals being produced and passed
through the portal vein into your liver. With less
work for your liver, it begins to produce healthier bile
and cleaner, healthier blood which can improve skin,
mental clarity, cholesterol, and arthritis, as the body
begins cleaning itself up. The gall bladder and
kidneys also get a break as they try to balance
themselves.

The lymph system is next to benefit and as its
functions are improved, your body can start
defending itself better. Exercise is very good because
it helps your lymph system detoxify.
The spleen is your third stage filter and when it
receives the cleaner blood, it can stop passing toxins
on to the nervous system. The nervous system will
then scramble to repair and balance itself. At that
point people can start seeing the benefits of improved
nutrition if they suffer from degenerative nerve
disorders, or any other problems that develop from an
imbalance in the nervous system.
Our body is incredibly complex yet at the same time
very simple. If we just feed it good, wholesome
nutrition, avoid unhealthy foods and exercise
regularly, it is amazing what it can do especially
when it is nourished with the nutrition from Sunrider
foods.

REGENERATION? CHOOSING PEAK HEALTH

Regeneration With
Regenerative Foods And Herbs
MAINTENANCE

Degeneration With Degenerative Foods And Lifestyle
SICKNESS

WHY DO PEOPLE LOOK AT SUNRIDER?

Everyone has different reasons, but once
you sort through them you'll find that
many of the reasons are the same, and can be
organized into one of three stages.

1. Level ONE - Sickness & Imbalance
A lot of people in our moder n society find
themselves here. Health care in most western
industrialized systems is bulging at the seams. Many
of the killers of today are referred to as "lifestyle
related" - which are the effects of our eating,
drinking, and exercise habits.
Most of us already know what is bad for our health
and what kinds of things degenerate our body. Things
like: fat, sugar, salt, chocolate, regular tea, coffee,
preservatives, smoking, processed foods, chemicals
fertilizers, bad water, bad air and stress. All of us, no
matter how carefully we try to eat, can't avoid all
these things.

2. Level TWO - Maintenance
Once people decide that they want to be more
healthy, they start buying more fresh fruits and
vegetables from the grocery store, and they exercise a
bit more. They may even try vitamins or medicinal
herbs. They may get some benefits, but they can
easily fall back into sickness, because they are
working on a
maintenance level. They never actually start
rebuilding their body - just maintaining it better than
before.
At the maintenance level, lots of fruits and vegetables
improve the diet, however, due to poor soil quality
and corporate concern for profit rather than nutrition,
grocery produce rarely provides all the necessary
nutrients. It is also very difficult to find the varieties
and quantities, let alone know how to prepare and
combine them.

3. Level THREE - Regeneration & Peak Health
We create an environment in which the body can
rebuild itself to an optimum level that is already
programmed into our genes. By providing the
balance and raw materials our body needs, it begins
to renew or regenerate, and actually feel and look
younger. This can take us beyond both sickness and
maintenance.
To create this regenerative environment, we must
give our bodies the highest quality food possible and
in just the right amounts and combinations.
When given these options,
who is going to choose maintenance?

The only company in the world which deals
exclusively with this high level of regenerative foods
is Sunrider International. Other companies might
have one good product in one hundred, but every
single formula developed by Dr. Chen has this
purpose in mind. To provide just the right nutrition in
the right combinations you really have to know herbs
(Sunrider only uses Food Grade Herbs) and you have
to understand the body. The body is incredibly
complicated and no one food or herb is perfect in
itself - they must be balanced with other foods or
herbs to make them work properly.
The Chinese have studied herbs for thousands of
years. Over this time, they learned how to prepare
and combine the herbs - to either treat disease, or
nourish and balance the body.

The Chinese developed a health system which
created healthy people and healthy societies
thousands of years before western societies even
began to study nutrition. Dr. Chen is a genius in the
field of nutrition, food and herbs.
You can verify this system yourself,
simply by incorporating Sunrider Foods
into your lifestyle!

What's Involved In Regeneration?
Dr. James R. Douglas, a well known
Canadian Chiropractor spoke about the process of
regeneration, on a September 1996 'Tape of the
Month.' Regeneration is a subject that has fascinated
him for over 30 years. He said:
"If we look in a mirror, our body seems to be the
same from day to day. The truth is that the body is
more like a river than something static. Our body is
constantly being rebuilt and repaired. The process is
under the direction of our inner intelligence, (present
everywhere in our body) which is far superior to any
outside intelligence. The rebuilding that goes on in
our body is truly astounding. 98% of the atoms in our
cells were not there a year ago. The working, or first
contact cells on the surface of our digestive system,
from the stomach to the large bowel are replaced
every 5 minutes. This means hundreds of millions of
cells are quietly being released from our body every
hour. The muscular lining of our stomach and our
intestines is replaced every 3 to 4 days. Our gums are
replaced every two weeks. This replacement is cell
for cell. Old cells wear out, and new cells are
produced.

The enzymes and the chemicals that flow through our
liver make a new liver every five months. The taste
buds in our mouth are replaced every 10 days. We
have a new covering of skin every four weeks. The
chemistry of our genes is replaced constantly.
Nothing in our chemical genetic environment was
there a year ago. The pattern of our genes is very
constant, but the chemical molecules that make up
the structure are constantly replaced.
The quality of cell replacement determines the
quality or length of our life, barring accidents, and at
the same time, the quality of our life, is expressed in
our feelings. Our feelings are actually produced by
the hormones and other chemicals produced by our
cells."

According to Dr. Douglas, "the quality of the
enzymes we consume significantly influences the
quality of the chemicals produced by our cells. We
can think of a gene in a cell as an orchestra
conductor. The enzymes produce tones under the
direction of the gene conductor.
The quality of the tones whether physical or
emotional is dependent upon the quality of the
enzymes available.

Our body does the best job of rebuilding it can, with
the raw materials we feed it. Improve the raw
materials and regeneration is improved. Over time,
lack of the proper raw materials can lead to
disharmony or disease. That is why the Chinese say
hunger and disease are the same thing."
In his many years of research Dr. Douglas has found
no better source of high quality nutrients and

REGENERATION THE PROCESS OF PURIFICATION

All cure starts from within then moving outward,
from the head down and in reverse order as the
symptoms have appeared. Hering's Law Of Cure
OOD FOR THOUGHT SUNRIDER
Most new ideas are usually rejected with
varying degrees of skepticism by those who
are satisfied with their present
circumstances. They are comfortable with their
health belief system and see no need for any change
on their part. Should one close their mind and
throw away the key simply because a concept or
new idea is "new" to them? In many cases what
appears new is historically very old. The
knowledge was either lost, suppressed, or just now
becoming available. Just because the so-called
"educated" may laugh, ridicule and then reject a
truth does not make that truth a lie.

We still do not have a national interest or incentive
to prevent disease. It is a sad truth that 90% of our
population is merely interested in "getting by" and
oblivious to the fact that they are committing a
slow suicide every waking moment. They do not
become interested in health until they lose it, or
until their job is hindered. It is at this point that they
begin looking for something to cure or remedy their
condition. The solution that most are looking for is
a quick-fix ("give me a shot, doc!"). Then they
continue to abuse their body with the same
injustices that caused their disease in the first place.
When such a patient has been given up by his
doctors, he at last awakens to the seriousness of his
problem and is finally frightened enough to start
doing something about it. Unfortunately, it may be
too late.
Wouldn't it be better to seek health as a part of your
lifestyle? We basically have two choices. We can
pay now for higher quality food or we can pay a
whole lot more later (in money and misery) just
trying to stay alive.

FOOD FOR THE BODY
Before vitality, superior health, overcoming
sickness, higher energy levels or longevity can be
achieved, we must begin eating "nutrient dense
foods." These are real foods that are never the result
of the processing activity. These foods are in the
raw state and are electromagnetically charged with
a "life force" that is separate and distinct from the
caloric energy that is released from food by
digestion, enzymatic action and assimilation. We
must be eating whole, natural, and enzyme
active foods that have not been refined,
processed, overcooked or preserved with
chemicals. These actions plus microwaving and the
new problem of food irradiation with Cobalt-60 and
Cesium 137 render our foods lifeless and devoid of
any enzyme activity.

Gabriel Cousins, M.D. stated: All life
processes depend on enzyme function.
When enzymes are depleted, so is our vital
force and health.

Another physician, Yoshihide Hagiwara,
M.D. stated: Enzymes are involved in
moving our hands and legs, and even in
the process of thinking. If enzymes were
lost, all the functions of our body would
fail.

Take a sunflower seed and boil it in water. Plant
it in fertile soil next to a raw sunflower seed. The
concept of bio-energetic nutrition (the
electromagnetic or vibrational qualities of living
food) now becomes real - as only the raw and
unheated seed will sprout. Life begets life.
If we continue to eat food in its unnatural state, we
will deplete our body's supply of enzymes, which
will result in the degeneration of our genetically
weaker glands and organs.

EAT LIVE FOODS TO LIVE, EAT DEAD FOOD TO DIE
If any man can convince me and bring home to me
that I do not think or act aright, gladly will I change;
for I search after truth by which man never yet was
harmed. But he is harmed who abides on still in his
deception and ignorance.

Regeneration: The Process Of Purification Continued…
WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR

NUTRIENT DENSE BIOENERGETIC FOODS?
In order for Regeneration to take place, the
chemical building blocks of life must be made
available. You can not depend on your local
grocery store for the kind of food that is needed.
(For a full explanation, read the booklet, "Choices,"
produced by Wholesun Health.) You can not
depend on synthetic vitamins and inorganic
minerals to do the job either. (For a full
explanation, read the booklet, "Choices," produced
by Wholesun Health.)

The body requires superior nutrition that is
organically grown and free from pesticides,
preservatives, or other man-made additives. This
type of food is difficult to acquire. Distance,
seasonal selection, spoilage, and the retail cost are
all inhibiting and restricting factors.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a company
that had organically grown vegetables, fruits, and
herbs available to be delivered to your front door?
Wouldn't it be fantastic if these foods were
concentrated from 4 to 7 pounds to one pound
(bulk, fiber, and water removed) and formulated to
provide the nutrient dense food needed for specific
organ systems of the body?
Wouldn't it be fabulous if these foods provided the
fuel for your body to function as it was designed to
in the processes of cleansing and rebuilding?
Wouldn't it be unbelievable if you could purchase
these foods and still receive a 5 to 10% rebate
check from the company each month?
GUESS WHAT? JUST SUCH A COMPANY
EXISTS IN SUNRIDER INTERNATIONAL!

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER
The role water plays within our bodies covers five
functions: a solvent, transporter, lubricant, coolant,
and a dispersant.
In order for Regeneration to take place without
unnecessary hindrances, only pure water should be
consumed. To drink chlorinated, fluoridated, or
well water is only adding more toxins and
impurities for your body to deal with.
It is not the purpose of this article to prove or
disprove the merits of drinking only pure distilled
water. There are many books written on this
subject…one of the best is "The Truth About
Water" by Paul Bragg.

THE GREATEST FUNCTION OF DISTILLED WATER
Distilled water acts as a solvent in the body: it
dissolves food substances so they can be
assimilated and taken into every cell of the body; it
dissolves the wastes of cell life so that those
poisons and toxins can be carried away from the
cells; it dissolves the inorganic mineral substances
lodged in tissues of the body so that such
substances can be eliminated in the process of
purifying the body.
Distilled water is the greatest solvent on earth - the
only one that can be taken into the body without
damage to the tissues. By its continued use, it is
possible to dissolve minerals, acid crystals, and all
other waste products of the body without injuring
the tissues.

THE HEALING CRISIS
A healing crisis is the result of an intense effort of
every organ in the body to eliminate waste products
and set the stage for regeneration. Through this
reconstructive process towards a healthy body, old
inferior tissues are replaced with superior new
tissues.
In a healing crisis there may be a fever and a
catarrhal elimination. These wastes are now in a
dissolved free-flowing state, ready to be efficiently
removed from the body. This experience will seem
like having disease because of re-experiencing
disease symptoms. But there is a very important
distinction - elimination. All the eliminative organs
are functioning right up to the time of the crisis.
These processes have become more acute because
of the abundance of stored-up energy.
The healing crisis may come without warning.
Usually you will feel at your very best shortly
before the crisis. The vital forces and energies must
become strong enough to initiate these explosive
powers of cleansing.

SICKNESS AND DISEASE DO NOT JUST HAPPEN…THEY ACCUMULATE!
Tissue that has been built from poor nutrition and
bad living habits will someday have to wrestle with
new healthy tissue created from living food.
There are three stages a person must pass through
in order to become well:
1. Eliminative;
2. Transitional;
3. Building.
The crisis usually occurs during the transitional
period, which is the time when new tissue has
become strong enough to function as a more perfect
body.

WHEN TO EXPECT A HEALING CRISIS
When the use of stimulants such as coffee, tea, soda
pop, and chocolate are suddenly stopped, a
headache may occur. This is due to the circulation
and discarding of stored-up toxins called caffeine
and theobromine. A letdown will follow due to a
heartbeat that is slower because it is no longer
being stimulated by the caffeine and theobromine
from chocolate or caffeine. After a few days these
symptoms will go away and we will feel more
energy due to the recuperation that follows.
Eliminating or dramatically cutting back on
stimulating animal foods, such as meat, fowl, fish,
cheeses, milk, eggs, etc., will also result in a slower
heartbeat.

This may be detected as a state of relaxation or
decrease in energy. This initial letdown usually
lasts about ten days and is followed by an increase
of strength and energy, a feeling of greater wellbeing
and reduced stress.

When the quality of food and water coming into the
body is greater than the tissues the body is made of,
the body begins a process of discarding the lower
grade tissues and producing superior grade cells or
tissues. It may take about three months until the
body has the stored energy to start the process.
A healing crisis usually lasts about three days,
starting with slight pains and discomfort which may
become more severe until complete elimination of
the toxins has been reached.
If the energy level is low, the crisis may last for a
week or more. The more vitality one has, the more
powerful the effect of the crisis will be.

THE BODY RESPONSE TO A HEALING CRISIS
During the healing crisis, there is an absence of
appetite. The body needs more water to help carry
off the toxins that have finally reached the
elimination stage. It is also a time for rest. You
must rest it out. This includes mental as well as
physical rest.

There is not only a physical healing crisis, but a
mental crisis as well. We must also have our mental
fixations and complexities cleared out of the mind.
This is just as important as a cleansing of the bowel
or any other organ. If there is a mental state that is
causing irritation or colitis in the bowel, the best
colonic cannot cure it. Everything must be
considered in the build-up to a healing crisis.
When eating, eat only foods that assist in the
elimination process - and only small amounts.
These foods should be of the type that are easily
digested. To eat hard-to-digest food (such as meat,
dairy, or even herbs that have not been extracted
and juiced) would take away energy that is needed
for cleansing and elimination.

STEPS TO REGENERATION
1. THE BODY MUST HAVE A HEALTHY
BLOOD STREAM.

It is critical to have a strong digestive and
circulatory system. Vital living foods must be
taken into the body and be properly digested
and assimilated.
2. BLOOD MUST CIRCULATE RAPIDLY.
Cell structures must be supplied the vital
nutrients for regeneration as rapidly as
possible.
3. REST.
Rest allows the body to recuperate and
regenerate. Tiredness is a barometer of our
health and fatigue is the first symptom of all
disease. If we don't recognize this alarm, we
are abusing ourselves with the greatest
hindrance to recovery.
Regeneration will take place when superior
tissue is exchanged for old tissue.
Any diet in order to be efficacious for healing and
body cleansing must consist of foods that contain, not
merely the recognized "food values," but also contain
inherent qualities necessary for cleansing, healing
and for the elimination of poisonous wastes.
Hans Anderson in "The New Food Therapy"

THE RETRACING PROCESS
All healing in the body starts from within and
works outward, from the head down, and in the
reverse order that the disease and injuries in your
life have appeared.
The body, in its great wisdom and innate
intelligence, automatically heals the most serious
problem first. Fortunately, we don't have to
consciously make that decision.
The intelligence within your body knows more
about tissue structure and repair
(REGENERATION) than any scientist or doctor
will ever know.

This retracing process is really a very just process
when we consider that our living habits and the
foods we eat ultimately determine what we are (You
are what you eat; you are what you think). Usually
people do not remember what diseases or injuries
they may have had in the past, but during the
healing crisis they are reminded of what they have
forgotten. By going back through all of the health
problems that WE have caused and inflicted upon
ourselves, we are really "burning into our brain" the
realization of cause and effect. By re-experiencing
our past health problems, we are learning the
importance of taking care of ourselves. We are also
learning that there is a penalty for the "sins of the
flesh." Sometimes, but NOT ALWAYS, the
discomfort during the healing crisis or retracing
may be more notable than while we were building
the chronic disease. But this is for only a short time.
Always look to the goal of total health and freedom
be able to encourage others.
Once we retrace back to health, we will become so
completely converted to honoring the laws of
health - we will NEVER want to go back to the
ways that cause disease.

HEALING CRISIS SYMPTOMS
What kind of symptoms should I expect when my
body starts to detoxify or goes into a healing crisis?
To start with, any health condition that you may
have experienced in the past can re-surface
"temporarily." Some examples may be:
• If you had experienced headaches in the past
they could come back or even intensify
• If you had experienced boils or rashes in the
past they could also return or intensify
• People who suffer from arthritis could
experience more discomfort as deposits are
moved around
• People suffering from more serious conditions
such as fibromyalgia will most likely
experience more intense cleansing and should
increase their nutrition slowly.
Most people will notice very few symptoms or
discomfort in the way of cleansing. A normal
experience may include some fatigue for a day or
two. As well, you may encounter some extra "gas"
but the feeling of well-being usually more than
compensates for any discomfort. Good luck!

How To Tell The Difference Between A Healing Crisis And A Disease Crisis
Healing Crisis Disease Crisis
Just before the crisis you feel great with energy to spare. You feel progressively worse before you become sick.
It is brought on by an accumulation of health. It is brought on by toxemia.
All organs are acutely eliminating waste products and setting
the stage for regeneration.
Every organ works against it, rather than with it, as in the
healing crisis.
Many parts of the body show marked change and
improvement.
Only a part of the body shows any marked change or
improvement.

Absence of appetite. Just before, there is often a tremendous increase in appetite
for all the wrong foods - especially sugar products.
The crisis may be as simple as a rash, pimples, or boils. There are no simple disease crises.
Elimination is regular right up to the time of the crisis.
Usually a fever or catarrhal elimination takes place. Stored
up catarrh and waste are now in a dissolved, free-flowing
state and a cleansing, purifying action is under way.
Elimination is shut down or is very unsatisfactory.
It will take place about three months after you have begun
making serious changes in your lifestyle.
It may take years before your body reacts to your abuse. The
longer it takes, the more serious the problem.
It will last 3 to 7 days, depending on your personal energy
level.
It can last for weeks and months, depending on how abused
your body is, especially if you continue doing what caused
the problem in the first place.

APPLES & ORANGES
By Keith McBride
uring the past 20 years, my family has been
involved with some of the finest herb
companies in the industry. When we
discovered Sunrider almost ten years ago, we knew
we had finally found a company we could truly grow
with and live with. In the process, we've discovered
that there is a BIG difference between herb
companies. I'm not just talking about the obvious
differences that can exist with any company: Quality
control, ingredients, formulations, etc. We all know
which brand names are best for us. I'm talking about
company philosophy.

We all know there are lots of "herb companies" out
there. There are even several multi-level companies
with herb-based product lines. A newcomer to
Sunrider Might want to know how Sunrider
"compares" to these other companies. When we
compare other herbal companies with Sunrider, we
can't say one company's approach is "better" than the
others. Our approaches are simply very different
from one another. While there are obvious
differences in ingredient quality between companies,
of those who are sincere and quality-minded, we all
share the same basic goal: good health. When asked
to compare Sunrider to another company with an
herb-based product line, we can only respond, "You
can't compare apples and oranges." And then we
explain...

PEAS AND CARROTS
In his many publications and two excellent
books, Dr. Dean Black writes often about the
differences between "apples and oranges." He
explains that optimal health can only come through
nourishing the body rather than substituting for it.
But the body's own natural powers are not easily
measured by science. Our health-care system is based
on the principle of substitution, which has been
studied for less than 100 years. In contrast, the
Chinese began studying the philosophy of
regeneration 5,000 years ago. Here's what they've
arrived at:

Among the tens of thousands of plants, there are
many that they believe regenerate specific systems
and organs of the body. For example, we believe that
"carrots are good for the eyes." The Chinese have
extended this idea a thousand-fold by believing there
are plants that regenerate the skin, the heart, the
lungs, the digestive system, and so on.
Sunrider has been established upon the solid
foundation of this philosophy. The Sunrider
Philosophy of Regeneration is the belief that Dr.
Chen has dedicated his company and his life's study
to. This philosophy is clearly represented within each
balanced, concentrated Sunrider herb food formula.
But there are also plants that they believe do not
regenerate. The Chinese distinguish herbs that are
considered to regenerate from herbs that merely
substitute for the body, calling the first food herbs
and the second medicine herbs. Companies today
with herb-based product lines sell herbal formulas
that contain medicine herbs. In that sense, typical
American herbalism and drug-based medicinal
philosophy are brothers, based on the same substitute
philosophy, although medicine herbs at least have the
advantage of wholeness.

Are we saying that medicine herbs and those
companies that produce them are bad or wrong? They
have their place. God in His wisdom created these
different plants for different reasons. Medicinal herbs
were created to be used in crisis situations, when the
body is unable to function on its own. Those plants
thought of as regenerative plants were believed to be
created to be utilized by the body to create
regenerative, vibrant health. The health professional
utilizes a balance of both philosophies -- never
ignoring one at the expense of the other.
But most of us are not health professionals. We do
not know how to use medicine herbs, and we
certainly don't want to play around with drugs. This
is why Sunrider is such an important health company,
and its philosophy is such a breakthrough. All of
Sunrider's food products are based on a solid
foundation of carefully blended food-grade herbs,
much like you'd blend many different fruits and
vegetables for a healthy salad. In fact, if you know
how to eat salad, you know how to eat Sunrider herb
foods. They are that safe and nutritious.
But what about those other herb companies? While
their products may not necessarily be bad in the right
hands, one thing I do think is very wrong is
representing medicine herbs as daily food
supplements, when that is clearly not their purpose.
Some companies may do this in complete innocence,
unaware that they are encouraging people to take
medicine herbs every day when their body is not in
crisis. This can cause greater health
imbalances! This I believe can not only become
dangerous, but is also extremely irresponsible. It is
up to those who understand the big picture of the
Philosophy of Regeneration to teach others about
these very real differences. There is only one
company that understands and teaches the Philosophy
of Regeneration and herb food nourishment: Tei Fu
Chen and Sunrider International.

"If you know how to eat a salad, you know how to eat
Sunrider herb foods," Writes Dean Black, Ph.D.,
author of Health at the Crossroads; The word "herb"
is not precise. Actually, there are two broad
categories of herbs, and no labels to tell them apart.
We therefore call our Sunrider foods herb food
formulas. People know that foods nourish the body,
but they are confused about herbs. Do herbs belong
with peas and carrots or with penicillin and aspirin?
Sometimes it's hard to tell. We know, and we want
everyone to know: Sunrider products belong with
peas and carrots. This difference is what separates
Sunrider from all other "herb" companies. Sunrider
formulas are foods. These foods are concentrated and
enhanced, which means there is no "bulk" (leaves,
stems, etc.) like other company's herbal formulas.
Eating Sunrider foods has changed dramatically the
way the world looks at foods, and the way they use
and eat herbs and herbal foods.

Naturally, with Sunrider's phenomenal global
success, there are many companies now latching on
to the phrases we pioneered, like "herb food" and
"The Philosophy of Regeneration" without
understanding what they mean. Of course, these
companies are still selling the same old Chinese or
American medicine herbs in new bottles. They may
even claim to have "concentrated" formulas, which
no other company has been able to achieve. This is
because Sunrider's concentration and enhancement
process is exclusive and literally a multi
million-dollar process. This presents quite an
investment other herb companies have not been
prepared, willing, or able to undertake.

FINGER IN THE DIKE
Now that my family has personally
experienced the other herbal philosophies and
discovered Sunrider, we can step back and view the
"big picture" of today's herbal scene. We are very
grateful for the Sunrider philosophy. These simple
principles have cleared up many misconceptions and
frustrations for us.

For example, Sunrider's Chinese herb food formulas
nourish complete body systems, when eaten with a
balanced whole food diet. Back in the early days
before Sunrider came along, when we took American
herbal formulas, they singled out one organ or
discomfort to focus on. It was always a constant
guessing game trying to put together a program. At
any one time, it would take at least ten different
herbal combinations in addition to many single herbs.
And as soon as one set of symptoms subsided,
another set would crop up! It was a constant battle,
back and forth - much like the story of the little boy
trying to control a flood with one finger in the dike.
But then Sunrider came along and changed all that.
Sunrider formulas were not "for" any specific
ailment! They were simply foods to encourage body
balance. How refreshing! And how easy to share with
others.

Here's a perfect example. Sunrider's Calli herb food
beverage has become a staple in the diets of millions
of people. How does Calli's herb food nourishment
stack up against those herbs we used before we knew
any better?

One evening, we sat around the kitchen table and
listed all of the single herbs and combinations we had
used in the distant past that were similar to the
ingredients found in a single box of Calli beverage.
We discovered that those other herb products added
up to well over $80 U.S. A box of Calli beverage
retails for well under $20 U.S. What's more, unlike
those other herbs we used all those years, the
ingredients in Calli are concentrated and enhanced,
and yet still sells for under $20 U.S. That's a big
difference.

This same difference exists with all the herb food
formulas contained in the Sunrider SunPack. Each
one of the five Quinary formulas as well as the
NuPlus formula replace countless herbs and formulas
we used to use in the "old days," and at a fraction of
the cost.

Yes, it's apples and oranges: There really is no
comparison between Sunrider herb food concentrate
formulas and all the other "herb" companies. Sunrider
formulas have a clear-cut mission, and the products
those other companies sell have their limited purpose
and focus. Which foods would you rather be
introducing into your diet on a daily basis? Introduce
your body to the Sunrider difference. It's a
philosophy that quickly becomes a way of life.
1. Sunrider formulas are FOODS blended together
much like a salad.
2. They are concentrated.
3. They are enhanced.
4. They are exclusive.

ENZYMES
Excerpts From A Taped Presentation Given By Dr. Joel Robbins
A Medical Doctor With Undergraduate Work Majoring In Food Chemistry And Biochemistry
hat is an enzyme?
It is the most studied phenomena of the human
body, but we have heard very little about these studies. The
medical mind says that enzymes are chemicals in the body
– they are not life. But they ARE life!
An enzyme is made of protein. It is a catalyst. A
catalyst is something that helps something work more
efficiently – like oil in an automobile engine. Oil doesn’t
run the engine but it helps it run more efficiently. Enzymes
help every metabolic function (chemical reaction) in the
body that keeps us alive and healthy. Every body function
is run by, helped by or supervised by a catalyst – or
enzyme.

All vitamins are enzymes but not all enzymes are
vitamins. You can buy vitamins (enzymes) in a bottle but
there are some enzymes you can’t buy in a bottle.
Without enzymes there is no life – they are the basic
“work-horse” of life. Man may one-day figure out the life
aspect of an enzyme but man will never be able to
reproduce the life in an enzyme. I believe this is the living
quality God breathed into Adam when He created Adam.
Man may begin to understand it but never reproduce it.
There are over 100,000 different types of enzymes.
Some enzymes are in storage in our bodies – others are
made in the body the instant they are needed. There are two
kinds of enzymes: food or plant enzymes and metabolic or
body enzymes. Food enzymes are used as the building
blocks by the body to make metabolic enzymes. Metabolic
or food enzymes are made by the body to run the heart,
liver and other major organs – they are specific for our
glands and body organs and cannot be found in a bottle or
food. They have to be replaced daily for health, and are
made in our body from live food enzymes. There is no
outside source for metabolic or body enzymes.
Enzymes only come from raw sources of food such as:
fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, raw dairy, and raw
meat (though we do not eat raw meat). It is the live
enzymes in our food that helps us digest our food. Cooking
food over 112 degrees Fahrenheit kills enzymes.
Enzymes are not found in dead food such as:
irradiated, canned, pasteurized, cooked foods (above 112
F), or foods with chemicals added, or oxygenated food,
such as when we take a bite out of an apple and leave it on
the counter and it will turn brown – oxygenation occurs and
destroys the live enzymes.
Some functions can take place in our bodies without
live enzymes, but in a very, very inefficient manner. Our
body cannot make something out of nothing – it has to have
a live, outside source to convert food enzymes to metabolic
or body enzymes. It will take enzymes from an outside
source and convert those to various unique brand of body
or metabolic enzymes which run the body (like the heart,
liver, kidney, etc.).

Disease or Enzymes
What if you ate foods without enzymes in it? We
would have dis-ease, because the body without a full “bank
account” of enzymes is going to have to “cut back on
expenses.” The body does not have enough enzymes or
“money to pay all the bills.” So if we eat foods that do not
have these enzymes, how does the body stay alive? Why is
it that if we feed a calf its mothers milk that has been
heated up to destroy any harmful germs, within 1 to 6
months the calf will be dead? Can you explain why a
cooked bean will not sprout in the garden while a whole
one will? And how can a baby who comes out of the
mother’s womb be fed formula (something that is
enzymatically dead) grow?
When we are born we have acquired a bank account of
enzymes in our body. When we take in partially inorganic
food, our body has the capability of taking this dead food
(inactive enzymes) and pulling live enzymes out of its own
storage or system and convert the dead food into live food
– but at tremendous cost. Why? Because every day that this
takes place, we are not putting live enzymes (metabolic
enzymes) back into our bank account. We use enzymes just
to stay alive that day and we used a lot of enzymes just to
convert that dead food into live food, but we didn’t say we
are staying “healthy.”

What is going to happen if we keep doing this? When
your bank account is running low, your income is reduced.
You still have a number of financial bills and obligations to
pay. How do you cope and stay afloat? You begin to reduce
the payments – if you have that option you make the
minimum payment. Some things you will put off and some
things you will just let go. Some how it has to balance out
to stay solvent. It is the same for our body. If there are not
enough enzymes coming in daily, the body begins to cut
back on various metabolic functions – slowing them down
and reducing their efficiency. Take for example: the liver’s
ability to “clean house.” If the liver does not get its fair
share of enzymes, is says: “well sinus membranes, you are
going to have to deal with this mucous waste product and
kick it out yourself.” So the mucous membranes become
the “dumping ground”, something they were never
designed to do. So we have this mucous discharge and the
bacteria just love that – there is now weakened tissue with
toxic debris for them to feed on – so they move in.
America has one of the worst health problems in the
world. We are not aware of that because we compare our
health problems to other Americans who are just as sick as
we are. We go to the doctor and he tells us: “for your age
you are just fine.” We are sluggish with stiff joints, are on
many different kinds of medications, and have had many
surgeries. Science tells us we are eating a well
balanced diet, but we are one of the sickest nations in the
world. The World Medical Association and World Health
Organization admits America is in the worst epidemic of
chronic disease that mankind has ever known. We have
cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis in spite of
tremendous advances in health sciences since the 1900’s.
We know so much about the body but it seems like the
smarter we get, the sicker we get.

Infection
Our traditional approach is: “this bacteria moved in
and now I have an infection." No! You can pick up any
medical text book and find that two things have to be
present for infection to take place: First, something must be
weakened by something other than the bug. If that were not
true we would all be dead because at any given moment we
could culture everyone’s throat in a room and find at least
10 disease producing bacteria, like strep, staff, tuberculosis,
etc. So why don’t we get these diseases? Fortunately our
throat is strong enough to resist them right now. Secondly,
there must be food for the bacteria or germ to feed on.
They are scavengers. Healthy tissue does not provide any
food for bacteria to feed on; they feed on toxic waste. So
we rush little Johnny off to the doctor who gives him some
antibiotics and the symptoms disappear for a few days and
then return. Why? Because the condition is still present to
allow the bacteria to flourish. So we go back to the doctor
and get more antibiotics.
If we do not feed the body live food enzymes to
convert to metabolic enzymes, it begins to slow down, does
not have as much energy, joints become stiff, we develop
chronic illnesses – and that is the same dis-ease we have
associated with normal aging in this country. NOT AT
ALL! Our body was never designed to age like we see it
doing today.

How do we deprive the body of live enzymes? First,
we eat foods that are not raw. Secondly, we eat foods that
do not contain live enzymes. Which foods? Pasteurized
milk has enzymes, but they are “de-natured” or dead. If you
apply heat above 112 degrees F, most enzymes are
rendered inactive, denatured or dead. So the calf will die if
fed pasteurized milk because it did not have enough
enzymes reserved to convert that dead milk into life giving
body, or metabolic enzymes; it burned out its bank account.
r. Pottenger’s Cats
Dr. Pottenger was a medical doctor back in the
l940’s. He wanted to know what cooked or processed foods
would do to our bodies so he conducted some research
personally financed by himself so no one would tell him
what results to come up with. The test was done on 800 to
900 cats divided into 5 different groups. Throughout the
experiment, the first 2 test groups were fed live food and
the third, fourth and fifth test groups were fed processed
foods. What did Dr. Pottenger find?
• The first, second, third and fourth generation of cats in
the first and second test group who were fed live food
remained healthy, and reproduced offspring.
• In the second test group who were fed dead or
processed foods, the first generation of cats were
diseased at the end of their life
• The second generation developed disease in mid-life.
• The third generation was born with disease and
deformities. This generation could not conceive and if
they did, they would spontaneously abort.
• The fourth generation was born dead with disease and
deformity.
The cats died because they were fed refined, processed
food. Their enzyme bank was depleted.
In our country today we find our children being born
with “old folk’s” diseases. This was unheard of during the
1900’s when our diet was 75% raw or unprocessed. Today
it is the other way around. The average American will go 7
to 14 days without eating any raw fruits or vegetables. The
average American spends $1.74 on raw produce per week!
We now have children being born with arthritis,
diabetes, hypoglycemia, and cancer. They enzyme bank is
depleted. The number one killer of children under 10 years
of age is cancer – a degenerative disease. With each
generation the enzyme bank is less and less and it takes less
wrongdoing for the disease to manifest itself. The body will
rob your enzyme bank to digest “dead food” eaten during
the day.
If we can live up to 70 years of age without
replenishing our daily expenditure of enzymes, why bother
to eat live, raw food? The issue is not how long we are
going to live, but the quality of life that we have. The issue
of aging and diseases has a lot to do with the lack of
enzymes in our bodies. As the bank account is replenished
daily, then we don’t have to deal with disease.
he Value In Our Foods
The more we do to our food the less value it has
left in it. For example foods that are:
• Raw 100% life enzymes present
• Juiced 100 % live enzymes present
• Dried 2-5% live enzyme loss
• Frozen 3-30% live enzyme loss
• Steamed 15-60% live enzyme loss
• Cooked 40-100% live enzyme loss
• Canned 100% live enzyme loss
• Microwaved 100% live enzyme loss
• Pasteurized Milk 100% live enzyme loss
Microwaving changes the molecular structure in our
food. Microwaves bombarding our food causes molecules
to vibrate and friction or heat results. The vibration causes
enzymes to split away from the molecules they are attached
to. Live food has a carbon molecule attached. When food is
microwaved, the carbon molecule is broken off so it
becomes dead food and a free radical in our system. (Baby
food should not be heated up in a microwave).
itamin/Mineral Supplements
The acid/alkaline balance in our body is the most
significant phenomena of human physiology. Our body
uses minerals with the live enzymes attached to carry out
our metabolic processes but only what the body can use.
These minerals and vitamins must be organic, coming
through the plant kingdom.
Every day we use minerals in two ways: First, to
replace the structure of our body. Secondly, minerals are
used in various metabolic processes and have to be
replaced from an outside source
don’t have them coming in from an outside source, what
happens? We begin to borrow from ourselves. The cells of
the body give up their alkaline (organic) minerals. Our
blood always remains balanced at 7.4 pH. 7 is neutral, acid
is minus 7 and alkaline is 7 plus. If our blood drops below
7.4, we will die – our red blood cells stick together and we
will die from acidosis. The way our body keeps the 7.4
balance is through the alkaline minerals we eat. When food
is processed, the minerals become acidic. Our body runs
slightly alkaline and we should always be replacing the
minerals and vitamins. The body will never go acidic – it
will always remain at 7.4. How? It will borrow from the
muscles, ligaments, and bones, and pull metabolic enzymes
out of our tissue. These are the least vital tissues we need
for survival. That is why as we get older our muscles start
to sag, the skin loses tone, muscles become stiff and we
develop osteoporosis.
eight Problems
There are two types of calories: live enzymes
and dead/cooked enzymes or calories. When we eat
calories, our body’s job is to convert calories into energy. If
there are dead enzymes attached, then our body has to go
looking for live enzymes from its own tissue. It will borrow
enough enzymes to convert these calories for survival and
convert the rest to fat. If you reduce your calories and still
eat a lot of dead food, you will not lose fat – you will lose
muscle tissue.

Cholesterol
If you heat up fat the enzymes are destroyed and
so the body will store the fat inside our arteries – this is the
best it can do with it. Americans have reduced their
cholesterol intake 75% since the 1940’s and yet we have
the most cholesterol related problems per capita in the
world. Cooked meats, pasteurized dairy, heated foods, most
oils, and margarine are all heated and are dead foods. We
should use live oils that have been cold pressed. Raw nuts
and avocados lower cholesterol.
itamin And Mineral Deficiencies
Once we heat food we destroy the enzymes that
help us use minerals and vitamins. There are very few
companies that understand the concept of live food and live
enzymes. The FDA allows companies to put “natural" on
any label as long as that vitamin has come out of the earth.
The word “natural” has nothing to do with how live it is - it
has to do with its source. So you can do whatever you want
to it, and still call it natural as long as it came out of the
earth. Most companies will not process their vitamins under
120 degrees F since it will cost more and take more time
and effort. It is important to know how they are processed,
how picked, and put into the bottle. If you take isolated
vitamin and mineral supplements, you will feel wonderful
at first. Do you know why? Because they are very
stimulating. If you drink a cup of coffee every 3 or 4 hours
you will feel the same way. But the body treats this as a
foreign substance – way out of proportion for our body
balance – it is not live. Vitamin C is just one part ascorbic
acid. The government allows companies to equate vitamin
C with ascorbic acid – but it is only 1 part of the vitamin C
complex. There are 9 organic parts to the vitamin C
complex and ascorbic acid is the outer part with keeps
oxygen from destroying the real part of vitamin C. The
body needs all parts to absorb the C complex.
We do use ascorbic acid. When our body needs
vitamin C it needs the whole complex, not just the ascorbic
acid. Ninety percent of ascorbic acid is made from
sulphuric acid and corn syrup mixed together BUT it is
enzymatically dead – it is NOT alive. Our body treats it as a
foreign substance. Ask a big vitamin eater if they felt better
when they first started taking vitamins. They will say, “Oh
yes, tremendous.” So then if they satisfied their
deficiencies, they should be able to reduce the amounts
they take. They usually tell you they have changed their
brand name and increased the amount to continue feeling as
good as they did last year.

Free Radical Pathology
We must eat live food because there is no other
way to get live enzymes into our body to stop free radical
pathology in our body. If we put chemicals, x-rays, polluted
water, preservatives, dead food, drugs, medicines into our
body, imbalanced molecules are produced. That means they
are missing an electron. To balance themselves, they will
rob a molecule from a healthy cell to replace the molecule
and that will in turn imbalance the healthy cell. So the
robbed cell tries to grab a molecule from another cell to
keep doing that and our body begins to wind down. This is
called “free radical pathology.” In a normal healthy
situation, our normal body eating live, raw foods, our
normal metabolism makes free radicals. In our proper diet,
with live enzymes in it, there are enough resources in our
body to kill the free radicals. Those enzymes that kill the
free radicals are called antioxidants. Not only is our food
usually void of enzymes, but it also is full of chemicals and
preservatives that will create even more free radicals.
Medical science has figured out that every degenerative
disease such as cancer, diabetes, and arthritis has free
radical pathology at the root. There is only one way to stop
it and that is…
…Live Enzymes.
End Of Tape Session By Dr. Joel Robbins
Within 2 years, 95% of our body is replaced cell by cell.
• Every 5 minutes the 1st working contact cells in our
digestive system is replaced
• Every 3-4 days the muscular lining of our stomachs is
replaced
• Every 10 days our taste buds are replaced
• Every 2 weeks our gums are replaced
• Every 4 weeks our skin is replaced
• Every 5 months our liver is replaced
What are you replacing these cells with?
Sunrider Foods
We must take responsibility for our own health

Sunrider foods are simply the best way of providing
the live organic whole foods/enzymes that the body
requires. The foods herbs:
• Are special foods containing live enzymes,
produced with modern technology where the
founder/owner and scientist of Sunrider Foods
(Dr. Tei Fu Chen) knows how to capture the lifeforce
of plants and formulate, concentrate,
powder, and enhance them from 7 to14 lbs. to 1
lb. and to package them in a convenient form so
all we have to do is add water or juice.
• Replaces our enzyme bed.
• Can be eaten by anyone, every day and are
enhanced by a healthy diet and exercise
• Are uniquely formulated, based on the Chinese
philosophy of regeneration to nourish, balance
and cleanse the body. Sunrider foods do not focus
on disease but rather create an environment of
wellness where health can flourish. The foods
provide raw materials our body needs to begin
regenerating itself to take us beyond sickness and
maintenance.
• Sunrider foods nourish and cleanse every cell in
our body.
• Are food-grade herbs (not medicinal or drug),
grown in fertile, healthy soil in China and
Taiwan. They contain no preservatives,
chemicals, pesticides, wax coatings, irradiation,
food coloring, artificial flavoring or added
sweeteners.
• Did you know that wheat from US soil only
contains 20% of the plant protein it used to
have?
• Did you know that the iron content (parts
per million) of spinach grown in 1948 was
801 and only 31 in 1963?
• That the iron content in tomatoes grown in
the same period was 969 in 1948 and only 5
in 1963?
• In a span of only 15 years the average drop
of iron was more than 90%. Is it only
reasonable to assume that there is also a
drastic decline in other essential vitamins
and minerals?
• Contain all the essential amino acids, glucose,
protein, vitamins and minerals that our body
requires
• Are balanced – all the nutrients are
synergistically intact, and are still in their wholefood
form. Unlike isolated, synthetic vitamin and
mineral supplements, Sunrider foods are totally
assimilated by the body -–you get your money’s
worth!
• Are a natural source of whole food nutrients that
naturally adapt to the body’s own synergy
• When eaten, do not conflict with other foods or
medications taken
• Were researched by a professor at Columbia
University who gave the foods to several
respected chemists for evaluation. After a
complete assessment, they reported that they
knew of no one who was this advanced in dealing
with food. They said it was a multi-million dollar
process to preserve the enzymatic action of the
plants that Dr. Chen has done with Sunrider
foods. When asked what they said a pound of
NuPlus should cost, their guess was $200.
