My introduction to Sunrider was from a pregnant mother, Marilyn Okita, whom I assisted twice with her homebirths that changed my attitude toward labor and delivery forever. I believe Sunrider foods are not only the most perfect food for a woman during this time, but I advise them strongly to continue throughout breastfeeding. And, if you want to raise strong, healthy children, this is definitely the best way for little bodies to overcome all the outside contamination they are exposed to.
Morning sickness occurs because the body is cleaning out toxins to prepare for a clean blood supply for the baby to grow. The liver gets overwhelmed and causes nausea. Calli and Fortune Delight are both super-antioxidants that feed the cleansing processes in the body. Hence, the toxins are continually being evacuated and the liver is able to filter the clean blood alleviating the nauseating feeling in the morning. Calli clears the mind, while Fortune Delight focuses in the intestines, eliminating more than the colon can do on its own, and the baby will have a cleaner blood supply. How simple is that? Just drink these concentrated beverages regularly and you'll feel great! I've been drinking them everyday for 18 years with total satisfaction and positive results.
A pregnant woman should feel vibrant, full of energy and vigor, but many do not because of blood sugar imbalances. Our environment is loaded with sugar that we are raised with and eventually our insulin levels go too high or too low. Sunrider VitaShake or NuPlus (or NuPuffs for snacking) addresses that need perfectly. Women in labor who start losing energy from lack of nutrition are revived in a few minutes after drinking NuPlus because their blood sugar is balanced; hence, the brain feels revitalized. I urge you to educate yourself about Sunrider foods because I cannot convey all the information on how the herbs are grown, harvested, and concentrated, like the website can.
Next is Quinary, an herbal food concentrate containing many herbs that feed the Five Systems of the body – Digestive, Circulatory, Respiratory, Endocrine, and Immune. The Ancient Chinese believed that these systems must be in balance for the body to heal itself. I believe it, too. When the body eats this food, the results are amazing! That's all I can say. You might be thinking, "but I don't like the taste of herbs" so Sunrider has an answer…SunnyDew or Sunectar. Not only does this concentrate sweeten everything so it tastes delicious, but it balances the blood pressure, nourishes the pancreas (I am living proof of that because I used to be borderline diabetic), fights tooth decay, and can be used for cuts and scrapes. It is antifungal, antibacterial, antiseptic, just to name a few benefits.
All these Sunrider formulas should be consumed daily for a stress free and healthy pregnancy. The last six weeks, Sunrider Dong Quai should be included every day to prepare the hormones for labor and delivery. This insures an uncomplicated experience. When labor begins, I suggest adding a few things to aid the body for the tremendous work it will be doing. Beauty Pearls help withstand the contractions. Evergreen fortifies the blood with plenty of oxygen…lack of oxygen is often the main cause of complications. Sunbreeze Balm on the lower back relieves back labor. Sunrider foods are excellent for labor and delivery because they are readily absorbed into the bloodstream without having to be "digested" and filtered out. There is no waste. The digestion really slows down during labor but these highly concentrated energy foods can and are utilized within minutes.
I have never seen a problem with the afterbirth because the woman is fortified and energized, with hormones functioning normally. The placentas of Sunrider moms are always perfect and intact, in my experience. I’ll never forget the first time I saw a "Sunrider placenta" after Marilyn's delivery. I was astonished. The color and texture was like I had never seen before! I know now that all women who eat these foods during pregnancy and labor have unique placentas.
There's no doubt in my mind that children who are formed and raised with Sunrider foods excel in learning abilities and grow healthy teeth, bones, and organs. With the alarming statistics of diseases in America, I do not believe we should think twice about this. I feel it is my duty to advise families to take heed of the health problems around them. After all, my calling has always been babies! I believe mankinds survival depends on babies born naturally, with love and strength. Dr. Chen has given us an opportunity to take responsibility for our health, and for our babies.
I met a midwife in San Diego who has been a Sunrider for many years, and she recorded an excellent tape on this subject. I will be glad to share it with whoever is interested in listening to it.
In closing, I invite you to read a poem written by Suzanne Arms. Just visit http://www.birthingthefuture.com and you will see it posted on the home page. I believe we, as conscientious people, can accomplish this ideal through Sunrider Whole Herb Food Concentrates.
Sincerely,
