I had always felt I was a healthy person until seven years ago when I was stricken with the painful disease, rheumatoid arthritis. Until you experience constant pain throughout your entire body - every hour day and night, you do not realise how we take our health for granted. I learnt real fast to have deep empathy for those in pain. I began to run the gamut of medications available to decrease the painful crippling side effects of the disease.

Finally after a painful year of near immobility, specialists were able to find the right medical combination to recess the pain and crippling. How grateful I am for doctors and modern medication!

However I soon realised that there was a need to nutritionally build my system to counteract the side effects of the medication I was taking.

As a result of the disease and dangerous drugs, my immune system was gradually being destroyed. Consequently I developed skin rashes, eczema, monthly cold sores and frequent ear infections. Sunrider came to my attention as I was looking for a total health program to help me nutritionally rebuild my system. My husband Jerold began taking Prime Again, finding relief from hay fever (which he had endured since he was 12 years old).

When we added NuPlus, Calli tea, Sunectar and Prime Again to our family’s nutritional regime, our five children saw their hay fever under control as well. One our daughters enjoyed freedom from asthma and another saw her long suffering eczema disappear. We learned that with Conco, colds and flu were nutritionally avoidable.

One of our daughters suffered pneumonia every winter, but she no longer needs to fear that with our Sunrider nutritional program. RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS IN REMISSION! After five months of faithfully using NuPlus, Calli tea, Sunectar, Conco, Prime Again, White Willow Bark and Siberian ginseng, my blood tests show that my rheumatoid arthritis is in remission. I am needing less and less medication after 3 years of needing more and more.

My skin rashes, ear infections and cold sores have cleared up. And as an added benefit I have lost 25 unwanted pounds! The future looks great to our family. Our lives have been completely turned around. Thank you Sunrider and Dr Chen!

Update on Shirley's story: The last time I saw Shirley I asked her if she was taking any medication. She replied that she hasn’t taken any medication for a long time and that she knows that as long as she can have Sunrider products that she will never have arthritis again. Her sediment rate went from over 45 to 4.
