Freedom from Asthma & Allergies

This story is about how Sunrider products changed my life. In 1996 I was slowly dying from asthma caused by allergies. I could barely work an 8-hour day and when I got home I laid on the couch the rest of the night. I couldn't even mow my lawn or do very much cleaning because of my allergies to dust and mold.

My sinuses and lungs would be so full of mucous I could barely breathe. My lung capacity at times was less than fifty percent. Because of my poor lung capacity, my energy was getting worse. Sometimes I would have more energy but in general, I was going downhill quickly.

The list of medication I was taking included: Proventil Inhaler, Asthmacort Inhaler, Tilade Inhaler, Deltasone tablets, Nasacort Inhaler, Accolate tablets and Allegra D tablets.

Vitalite Weight Loss story

Six years ago, when I was just 35 years old, I was overweight, tipping the scales at 104 kilograms (about 229 lbs).

Stemming in part from having some unhealthy lifestyle habits, including eating out for most of my meals, having a fondness for rich foods, and frequently drinking nutrition-void beverages sold at convenience stores, I was in poor health.

In fact, when I was only 25, my SGPT (Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase) levels were so elevated I couldn’t even donate blood. Eventually, I was diagnosed with diseases such as ventricular hypertrophy, hypertension, and paroxysmal tachycardia. 

Through Sunrider, I’ve not only helped myself, but I also have the opportunity to help other people get fit and achieve enhanced vitality and health. I’m also proud of having my own store, located in the Hsin Yi District, the most flourishing business area of Taipei. I now hope to help more and more people revitalize their lives with Sunrider!

From Couch Potato to Svelte 78 Year Old

Bill Hughes - Vitality Found!

Bill Hughes is a fun-loving man, but 20 years ago that part of himseemed to be slipping away.

“I felt far older than I should have.‘Old folk’ ailments were prematurely with me and no fun. I thoughtmaybe at my age it was supposed to be that way—always feel old,uncomfortable, and unhappy.

I had no energy, either. I could not getenough sleep, even with a nap before going to bed and sometimesone at noon. And I was a ‘couch-potato’ on weekends.”

A Life Changing Decision

In Jan 2002 my life took on a whole new direction when I was enlightened to the true value of SR foods.

I had tried SR’s organic, no calorie, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial sweetener several years before called Sunnydew, along with some Fortune Delight that flushes fat from your system.

I was a self proclaimed isolated vitamins, protein and mineral junkie! I had no knowledge of whole foods that create balance vs partial foods that create imbalance.

An Olympic athlete shares his inspiring story

Kim White
I met with a friend in July 1991 who I hadn’t seen for 3 years and I couldn’t believe how great he looked. He had lost about 70 pounds and looked 10 years younger. I didn’t recognize him at first sight. I asked him what he had done and he said he was eating Sunrider Foods every day. I had to know more.

I went to his home and he mixed me some NuPlus, Quinary, Fortune Delight and Sunectar with water. I drank it and it tasted okay. Then he made me a pot of Calli tea that I drank while we visited for an hour as he explained about the Philosophy of Regeneration.
