Crisis in Haiti–Bringing Hope to Desperate People

After hearing of the heartbreaking, tragic stories, and seeing the horrific photos of death and destruction in Haiti after the multiple earthquakes, it’s time to take action!

To help with this major catastrophe, Sunrider employees are making donations to get these desperate people food, clean water, clothing, and medical supplies. Drs. Chen have pledged to match all the funds donated by the staff and US IBOs!

Helping each other when needed is one of the greatest strengths in our country. We urge all of our IBOs to participate in this endeavor–even a small amount goes a long way to help the poverty-stricken nation of Haiti in their time of need.

To see a list of reputable charities taking donations, please visit our Local News page on the Sunrider Business Center.

US IBOs: To have Sunrider match your contribution, please contact Sunrider customer service at info@sunrider.com.

Beef Bulgogi (Korean Barbeque) Recipe

A Sunrider from Korea shared this recipe with us, and it looked so good we wanted to share it with everyone! This dish offers a tantalizing blend of textures and flavors…plus it provides the “hands-on” fun of wrapping your own bite-size BBQ “sandwiches” in crispy lettuce and then popping them in your mouth. So bon appétit, or as they say in Korea, jal meokkesseumnida!

Serves about four


Ingredients:
  • 600g beef (recommend thin slices of sirloin)
  • ½ onion
  • ½ green pepper
  • 1/3 carrot
  • ½ head of lettuce
  • 1/8 pear
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon SunnyDew®
  • 1 tablespoon Dr. Chen® Secret Sauce™
  • 1g Fortune Delight®

Instructions:
  1. Dice onion, green pepper, pear, and carrot (after rinsing them with SunSmile® Fruit & Vegetable Rinse).
  2. Make a marinade in a bowl by mixing SunnyDew®, Dr. Chen® Secret Sauce™, soy sauce, chopped pear, garlic, sesame oil, and the sesame seeds. Marinate overnight.
  3. Put beef in a sauce pan and add vegetables and Fortune Delight®. Then add the marinade.
  4. Cook in a preheated pan for about 15 minutes at 100C. Sprinkle on Fortune Delight® to enhance aroma.
  5. Place small portions of beef on bite-size lettuce leaves.
  6. Serve and enjoy!

Aloha, Sunrider! Sold-out Meetings in Hawaii with the Chen Family

During the new year holiday, Independent Business Owners in Hawaii shared their aloha spirit with the Chen family (Drs. Tei-Fu and Oi-Lin Chen, Wendy and John Teng, Sunny and Jonathan Beutler, and Eric Chen). The Chen family met with Jonathan Sugai, a top IBO and second generation Sunrider, on December 28 to discuss the upcoming Sunrider events. On December 30, despite the busy holiday season, over 50 IBOs and customers attended the Product Fair, Dr. Chen Special Meeting, and Opportunity Meeting held at the Sugais' Sunrider® office and shiatsu clinic. The sold-out meetings were a huge success with guests overflowing into adjacent, standing-room only rooms. Sunny, Jonathan, and Eric participated in the Product Fair, sharing product samples and discussing products with IBOs and customers.

As emcee for the meetings, John Teng shared his love of Sunrider and introduced Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen then gave one of his best talks on the Philosophy of Regeneration™, emphasizing the youth-restoring and beauty-enhancing aspects of Sunrider® products. Dr. Chen also discussed the sixth "element" in his Philosophy of Regeneration™—the skin, and the importance of our Kandesn® skin-care products.

Mrs. Chen shared new product developments, such as the new SunBar® formulation and Apple Cinnamon NuPuffs®, and gave samples to the audience.

After the audience sampled these new products, Dr. Chen then gave a short presentation on the Sunrider opportunity. He explained that the combination of Sunrider's unique products and business plan makes our business so powerful. Wendy demonstrated new training tools on the website and encouraged IBOs to use social media to promote Sunrider. Finally, Sunny and John showed slides on the upcoming 12-day Leadership and Convention Cruise to the Mediterranean. The audience gasped at each slide showing the breathtaking cruise ship and locations to Egypt, Italy, Greece, and Turkey. It was an extremely motivating meeting, leaving IBOs eager to qualify for the cruise and customers eager to buy products.

Voted The Most Changed

SR Teen Chooses New Path, Better Health

Alex Eastburn was only eight years old when her parents began using Sunrider® products, but she wasn’t exactly thrilled with it. To be exact, Alex said she “hated it.” Her mother, Lorraine Eastburn, a Group Business Leader from Phoenix, Arizona, had also changed the family’s diet to “all natural and organic.”

Alex, like many children in today’s society, was used to lunches filled with sodas, sweets, and salty snacks—foods that contribute to weight gain and a plethora of other health ailments. But rather than face the shame of her healthy lunches, Alex continued eating poorly at school. “I was embarrassed because my lunches were so different from the other kids’. I continued to eat at school, and bought cookies, sodas, etc. when I could. I over ate, had no energy, slept a lot, and didn’t like to exercise,” Alex said. She was on track to become overweight and have poor health, a common situation for many children and teenagers in America.

At home, Alex ate Sunrider® products sparingly, and even though Lorraine made healthy meals for the family, Alex always wanted more helpings and craved junk food. It wasn’t until starting high school that Alex realized she wanted to change her appearance and boost her self-esteem. “I asked my mom to start making me VitaShake® every morning, lots of Fortune Delight®, Sunbars, and whole organic food. I also took Vitalite® Slim Caps™…Within two months I lost 15 lbs.* All of my food cravings went away. My whole life changed completely.”

Today, Alex is a happy and healthy 18-year old. She follows a strict regimen of healthy foods and Sunrider® products, including Calli®, Citric C™ Tab, Fortune Delight®, Quinary®, Spirulina, VitaShake®, Vitalite® Fibertone®, and Vitalite® Slim Caps™. Thanks to Sunrider® products, a very healthy diet, and exercise, Alex lost six inches in her waist, looks great, and feels better about herself.* Most of all, she’s changed her path and can make healthy choices even after she leaves home. “I feel so much more balanced and together than most of the teens I know. Now, I have more energy and a drive for success,” she said.

This year, as a graduating senior, Alex was voted “The Most Changed” with a before and after picture in the yearbook. And Alex’s friends actually come to her for suggestions about getting healthy. “I spent all of my high school years in the Sunrider lifestyle. Now,” she says, “I am proud of what’s in my lunch box.”

*In conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Results not typical.
