With the end of
the year drawing near, it's with much love that I thank you all for your loyalty
as consumers & business colleagues. I am so thankful for the health I
am able to keep with the Sunrider products and for the briliance of Dr Chen and
his wife Oi Lin. This past year has been one of the most memorable in my
Sunrider life and a large part of that was due to the new friendships I've made
with all of you. I have had the opportunity to meet a few of you in person
and get to know a few more through the technology of email and the old standby,
the telephone. I would like to take this opportunity to challenge each of
you to make the coming year your best in both Sunrider and your personal
lives. You have the ability within you to do anything you want.
Remember that dreams are just that dreams until you
commit to them, plan the steps needed to reach the next point and set
a date to achieve them. Once you've done that they become goals instead of
dreams.
I wish you a very
Merry Christmas, a happy, healthy, safe and properous New
Year!

With the holiday
food choices being what they are, I thought I'd put together a Holiday survival
guide, Sunrider style. I know what it's like to have access to all the
chocolate, candies, cake, holiday meals etc at this time of year. It's
with much surprise that there's no shortage of butter first thing in the new
year as it's all used during the last few weeks of December!
Every year, with the
exception of the last one, since I burnt my 288 pounds of body fat, I have put
on weight over the holidays. I have juggled about 20 to 30 pounds each
winter. I've found that this has mostly been due to emotional
eating. Christmas has traditionally been a less than favorable time for
me. Since taking the courses that I speak about occasionally, I have been
able to turn this around. The past Christmas was the first in over 10
years where I have not gained any weight! yay!.
Now, I have been
eating Sunrider for 10 years, and I'd like to pass on some advice. One of
the best things I've done is to not worry about it. Worrying about what we
eat is one of the worst things you could ever do. There is so much energy
in our emotions, so change that worry into love. Enjoy the foods you're
eating.. enjoy the company and the spirit of the season! Add to that the
power of some specific Sunrider foods to help nourish your body and make it
stronger so that it can deal with all this wonderful food that has been prepared
and offered to us out of love. Here are some specific tips that I hope
you'll choose to use in not only your holiday eating, but for the rest of your
life.

Dealing with the Digestive Blues over the Holiday
Season
|
CALLI OR FORTUNE DELIGHT FOOD BEVERAGE
Fortune Delight helps
flush fat and toxicity from your body as well as aids in digestion.
If you put oil or grease on your hands, as was demonstrated to us at the
2002 Leadership cruise and at the Grand Convention by Dr Chen, and rinse
them in Fortune Delight, the oil or grease will come off.
I have always loved a hot Fortune Delight
after a meal to help aid in digestion. This experiment helped me
understand that Fortune Delight helps break down and emulsify fat.
During past Christmas
meals, Thanksgiving Meals and any other family get together, my common law
wife and myself were always the saviours of the night when we made up a
large pot of Calli. It just seemed to improve the digestive process
and restore our energy levels. We were always the first up to help
with cleaning duties (Rob)
Think of the benefits of having Fortune
Delight after Christmas dinner or after those shortbread cookies!

VITALIGHT SUNBAR
Did you know that the Vitalite Sunbars
consist of 8 grams of fibre? This is the same as four heads of
lettuce or 11 carrots!
Most diseases start in the colon, from the
toxicity that comes from frementing foods that have often been there for
years. There are 78 chemicals, to be exact, including alcohol and
formaldehyde that are produced in the colon.
The fibre in the bar is split into three
types; Soluble (absorbs), Semi-soluble (becomes like jelly), and Insoluble
(sweeps like a broom). The Vitalight Sunbar is also 30% protein,
from very digestible sources. I recommend you consume one third to
one half a bar every day.
This bar will be very helpful in dealing
with all that heavy food over the festive
season.

EVERGREEN
Evergreen is a wonderful product that comes
in liquid viles. It is very concentrated liquid chlorophyll.
Dr Chen has preserved it very cleverly by
making it oil soluble. Once it hits your stomach acid, it becomes
active and becomes water soluble, just like it was freshly juiced.
Evergreen is very effective in situtations where the stomach is unsettled,
and is safe for babies as well.
Try adding one third of a vial to some warm
Fortune Delight and drinking it when you are suffering from acid
indigestion. It not only takes the heartburn away, but also settles
the whole digestive tract. My Favorite for this problem is to also
add in 3 to 4 open Quinary capsules.
Another benefit of Evergreen is it's rich
source of absorbable iron. It is very safe and comes with no side
effects, like many iron supplements can. Evergreen is a product that
I have used for years for three main reasons. Before Sunrider, I
struggled with acid indigestion, I was losing hair, and I had this heart
palipitation thing that would come and go.
Consuming the basic program of Sunrider
improved these problems a great deal but when I added Evergreen, my hair
stopped thinning, I rarely experience palipitations and my digestion is
amazing. Several women I know also user Evergreen in the winter for
thinning hair. People consume less iron rich foods in the winter,
which seems to have an effect on hair loss.

STEVIA, SUNNY DEW OR SUNCARE
Even though it's labeled as a skin
care product in Canada, in may other countries in the world, it's labeled
as a dietary supplement or natural fruit concentrate.
The ingredients are Stevia Extract and
Chrysanthemum Flower. These two ingredients are very beneficial to
your adrenals and pancreas. It is used in many countries, such as
Japan, as a major sweetener. In fact, Stevia has been used to treat
Diabetes in Paraguay for over half a century.
Another benefit of this product is that it
is converted very slowly into blood sugar for roughly for hours or
more. This is very balancing, and can be very beneficial to people
with or without blood sugar problems.
When you consider the result of consuming
simple carbohydrates on your blood sugar levels, you can see many people
won't be without their Suncare / Sunny Dew.
Simple carbohydrates incoude sugar, fruit,
fruit juices, sodas, muffins, cookies, most things processed, white pasta,
bagels, rice cakes etc. Rice cakes are one of the
worst fat loss foods as they're quickly turned into blood sugar which in
turns blocks the body's ability to burn stored fat. Avoid rice cakes
(Rob). The blood sugar that comes from these foods will
last about 15 minutes and will put you on a bit of a roller coaster ride
with your blood sugar. As soon as it drops, you need something else to
lift it again. This is how many people get through the day ans is
very dangerous to your health.
Suncare is a wonderful product to use in
all your beverages, and anyhing you like sweetened, like cereal, or any
dish you are preparing. In Canada, it's labeled as a "herbal
skincare", and is VERY effective in handling blemishes or cuts, so
experiment with that too. The diversity of Sunrider
products!!! I encourage you to consume at least 20 drops per
day. The first thing I reach for when I cut myself
is Sunrider Sun Breeze balm and Sunny Dew to help fight infection and
speed the healing of the wound. (Rob)
This will really help you with your sugar
cravings and the sugar highs and lows over the holiday season.
|
As an extra
note: Make sure you eat at least 5 to 10 capsules of Quinary per day
to keep your systems strong. If you don't, guess what comes after the
holiday season?? The cold and flu season for those especially who eat
too much sugar over the holidays. THEN SPREAD THE GEARMS TO THE REST OF US!
I would like to thank Jim
Pendree for his thoughts on dealing with the Digestive Blues over the holiday
season. The information presented above is his with the exception of my
added notes.
Holiday
Recipe
CINNAMON APPLE RAISIN CALLI by Judy Zabudney
This recipe won third price at our Edmonton Sunrider Food Fair held a month
ago. I was one of the judges, and it was my personal favorite. I was
blown away!
4 cups hot water
4 cups pure unsweetened apple juice
1 bag Calli
Cinnamon
1/3 cup raisins (washed in Fruit & Vegetable Rinse)
2 - 4
inch cinnamon sticks
1 squirt Suncare Plus / Sunny Dew (or to desired
sweetness)
*This recipe works great in your old coffee makers converted to Calli
makers
1. Place Calli bag into hot water and remove bag after steeping
approximately 10 minutes.
2. Add apple juice, raisins, Suncare Plus, and
cinnamon sticks to Calli and keep hot.
Great substitute for hot apple cider on those cold winter days.
This is the first recipe from the Food Fair that I will be
sharing over the next few months.
Fact du Jour
Why mess with a good thing?
This article acknowledges that Chinese herbs “are
becoming increasingly popular and important in the public and scientific
communities,” because, “while Western medicine currently employs pure, single
compounds, either natural or synthetic, CM [i.e., Chinese medicine] has long
used multiple combinations of compounds . . . to treat and relieve the symptoms
of many different human diseases. . . . CM's focus on combination therapy does
serve both ancient and modern theories.”
From this promising beginning, however, the author goes
on to urge “bioactivity-directed fractionation and isolation [to] identify
active natural compounds from single herbs or formulations. These lead
structures can be chemically modified and improved through knowledge of
structure-activity relationship, mechanism of action, drug metabolism, molecular
modelling and combinatorial chemistry studies." But if combinations of whole,
natural herbs are becoming ever more popular and important, and if that
combining "serves both ancient and modern theories," why fractionate
and isolate active compounds to use in combinatorial studies? The
author's answer: "to continue the legacy of Chinese medicine." A more likely
answer: to end up with a product you can patent.

trends in the pharmaceutical development of medicinal herbs from Chinese medicine," Public Health Nutrition

Tape of
the Month News
The following note was sent out by Valene
from Tape of the Month a few weeks ago:
Tape of the Month is making two
changes this month. for the better.
Please pass along this email to your
group so they can be the first to
hear of the changes and take advantage of
the offers. Plus, check out our
December Special found at the bottom of the
page!
First of all, we are changing the way we date our tapes. Instead
of
receiving December's tape the first of January, you will
receive
January's tape the first of January. So we are in the process
of
preparing January's tape. There will be no tape titled "December"
this
year, we skipped a month to get on schedule with our new date system.
If
this doesn't make sense, just trust me. Every month you pay for a
tape(s)
and every month you will receive a tape(s). So with that in
mind.
With our January tape (which will be going out in about 10 days) we
will
be offering it as a cassette or a CD. that's right, we are stepping up
in
the world of technology and now CD's will be available. (At this point,
I
don't know if any of our back issues will be available in CD or how
we
will handle future back issue orders with CD, we'll work that out as
we
go.)
You can change your subscription to CD. the cost is slightly
higher only
because the cost of CD is higher.
The prices will be as
follows:
Tape of the Month CD - $9/month
Business Report CD -
$8.50/month
Deluxe CD (one each) $15.50/mo (which is even a better savings
than the
audio deluxe.)
If you are interested in one cassette and one CD, let me
know. That will
be an option, but I don't know what the pricing will be.
yet.
If you want to change over for the January tape, you can email me
and
I'll make the switch. This is exciting as there are many pluses to
having
CD are available. For instance, the quality will be better, each
speaker
will be on its own track, thus making it easy to find a
particular
testimony, many cars only have CD players in them, etc. I hope
this is a
great benefit for your business, because that is the only reason we
are
doing it.
