"My wife finally convinced me to start using some of the products," says
Darcy, "and I was amazed. I lost a little weight, my heartburn went away, no
more headaches, and I felt better. I had more energy. I could get up at 6
a.m. and keep going 'til midnight without getting tired.
"But then I thought, hey, this isn't the product, it's just me, it's all up here."
He taps his index finger on his temple and gives a knowing nod. "I figured all
the changes in my life were because of me, it was all psychological. So I
stopped taking the products. In a few weeks the weight came back, I was
feeling tired again. I couldn't understand it. I was sure it was all in my head,
but it was the products. I'm back on them now and I feel great. It's really a
great program, the man definitely has something."
Darcy's story is not unusual. In fact, every Sunrider we talk to at the
convention has a similar story. Arthritis went away, headaches went away,
felt better, looked better... Some even had stories of friends or acquaintences
who have recovered from more serious maladies like kidney problems, liver
problems, asthma, hemophelia, even cancer. These claims may be subjec to
question, but every Sunrider we speak with has at least one testimonial to
share. Whether they be first hand or part of the growing Sunrider mystique,
every testimonial comes back to one thing, the man.
The man in question is Dr. Tei Fu Chen, founder of Sunrider International.
Although he is just a man, his persona has grown among Sunriders into that
of a prophet, a leader, a legend. He is author of the Philosophy of
Regeneration, a mix of ancient Chinese ideals with modern scientific
knowledge, the philosophy that fueld the Sunrider mystique.

We don't mean to detract from any of Sunrider's credibility by using the term
mystique, merely to describe the feeling that surrounds the Sunrider
perspective as we've seen it. Sunrider doesn't merely produce herbal foods
and nutritional supplements, it promotes a way of life, a way of thinking, a
style of living conducive to harmony, health and success. Because Sunrider
operates as a multi-level marketing system, it encourages every customer to
become a distributor, to share the knowledge, share the Philosophy of
Regeneration, and build a small, independently run business to provide a
second income or even a lucrative career (the Taiwan convention incentive
package is just one example of the benefits a successful Sunrider can receive).
