SUNRIDER® PRODUCT SAFETY The Sunrider Philosophy is at the foundation of our success. We are not just a company manufacturing superior products. We stand upon the ground of a wise tradition. As we develop our marketing strategies, let’s not forget the roots of our success. In Chinese herbology, there are three categories of herbs: medicinal, food grade and poisonous. Medicinal is what Sunrider® calls a substitution – something that you would take to do something for your body that it is unable to do for itself. An example of that would be a laxative, an antibiotic. These are substances that you would never take long term as they would cause damage if you did. Food grade herbs are abundant in Chinese herbology and they are considered the highest value. These are substances that are no more harmful than a carrot. In the west, we know that carrots are good for the eyes. The Chinese have studied food grade herbs for thousands of years and they have learned which “foods” are good for which particular function of the body. In ancient China, doctors were paid to keep people well by feeding them these specific food grade herbs, keeping track of the physical phases and change and determining the beneficial foods needed at each turn. If a person got sick, the doctor wasn’t paid until he got well. (Imagine if the west maintained this kind of health care system!) All of Sunrider’s® herbs are food grade herbs. The formulas are designed for the challenges of our time. We are inundated with toxins at every turn, in the air, water and food. Our foods are deplete of nutrients and our stress levels are soaring (maybe not as much in Shrewsbury as in Los Angeles, but still modern life is not very relaxing). The Sunrider® products are designed to nourish the body with pure nutrients, rich in live enzymes and co-enzymes (known as vitamins), phyotonutrients, and antioxidants. The products also feed the cleansing systems of the body so that the body has the strength and capability to eliminate the toxins that it has stored. And the products serve to bring balance back to the body. The Chinese understand that all illness is a lack of balance. The Chinese word for disease translates as hunger. They understood that if there is a disease, there is also a food to feed the body so that it can eliminate the disease and come back into balance. The Drs. Chen are people of high integrity. They are very concerned about safety and only make products that they use themselves in their family. Their concern is to produce products of safety to replace the many products that are insidiously unsafe and disease producing that we are used to using. Most manufacturers are only concerned with the bottom line, i.e., profit. The Chen’s are concerned with bringing people’s health back into balance. They are spiritual people who understand that when your concern is for the well-being of people, the wealth that you desire comes to you also. Overdoing cannot occur with Sunrider® products. I remember once hearing Dr. Chen say that if you are not experiencing the desired benefit, just take more. Also, there is no cross reactivity with medicine. Some people have found, as with some diabetics that eventually, they can reduce or even eliminate their medication because the foods have served to build up the system. It’s like when a broken leg heals; one no longer needs to use a crutch. Other Articles: To Purchase Sunrider Products: laurabeth@cheerfulhearts.org |
