In 2004, I had my first encounter with ‘Super Foods’, and I haven’t spent a single day without them since! Super Foods are essential for anyone that wishes to be truly full of light, health and pure, natural strength. I have seen lives transform from these products (including mine!). When you are on a nutrient dense diet, your body is receiving what it needs to function properly. That means that your body is in balance and will therefore produce the natural chemicals to keep YOU balanced and happy. Super Foods also help you to lose weight and bring you closer to your ideal shape of lean muscle. So, imagine if you start your day off with a Super Food Shake, eat delicious meals made of mostly or all RAW foods, and exercise a little bit (or a lot, up to YOU!)…Your life will never be the same. Ten years after breaking into TV as an example of extreme fitness, I feel and look as toned and cut as I ever have and I owe it to David Sandoval and the amazing superfoods program he developed. These foods make it easy to do all the right things for your body to keep you at the top of your game and looking fantastic. On this program, your body will thrive as never before. To prove it, I just completed a 40 day [Anabolic] “fast” on nothing but “super foods” consuming less than 600 calories per day and my body is in perfect physical and physiological health.
Name:Laura Eckstein
Title: Natural Female Bodybuilder/ Fitness model
Achievements: 3rd place in NPC Figure Competition
Favorite PHP Product:Power Shake, Master Amino Complex, Bee Energetic, Joint Flex, Organic Tropic Oil
I am preparing to enter a figure competition in November[2009]. My last competition was six years ago. I am excited about doing this competition the healthy “green” way. In the past after each show my body would fall apart, I would come down with strep throat due to the lack of nutrition and proper supplementation.
Since my last show I had gained weight, my moods had been up and down and my energy level had been very low. I thought I was either pre diabetic or hypoglycemic. My blood sugar would drop so low and I could barely function. I was also a sugar addict. As I passed my 40th birthday my body really started to change. I had fat where I never had it before around my belly and on my arms. I felt so ashamed. I had been in such great shape and now my body was fighting with me. No matter what I tried the weight did not budge.
I have been using the Master Amino Complex, Revive it All, Coconut Oil [Organic Tropic Oil] and Bee Energetic, along with the Power Shake. I wanted to share with you the amazing progress I have been making. For the last few months I have been back at the gym, eating only food from “Mother Nature”, and using the “Superfoods for Supermodels” [eating plan] as a guide while also taking the supplements above. My body has undergone a fantastic complete change. My energy is unlimited, the weight is coming off, my blood sugar is stable for the first time in years and I have energy all day long!!
(Picture was sent in about 6 months after we first received Laura’s letter!)
Update (2010): “I went back to school and am now a Nationally Certified Personal Trainer. I also came in third place in the NPC Figure Competition open age division!!! I will be doing more competitions this year and plan on winning first place!”

Favorite PHP Product:Awesome Products for Athletes
I am a strong believer in the value of Purium Health Products and use their plant based products as part of my daily routine. I am currently an amateur athlete training hard ill the Sports of beach volleyball, indoor volleyball, and water polo. My dream is to play Woman’s volleyball at the NCM Division I level in college upon graduation from High school. In order to achieve my dreams, / must continue to train hard and constantly work to build my core strength, quickness and stamina. As you can probably guess, this takes plenty of energy and proper nutrition. However, when you’re traveling to practice and events and doing school work in your other remaining moments it becomes extremely challenging to always eat correctly. My conditioning coaches would warn me that our modern diets just don’t contain the proper nutrients and that I needed to be sure to supplement my diet with trace minerals, vitamins and amino acids in order to maximize my potential. Fortunately my father and I met David Sandoval around that time and he shared the PHP story with us. Ever since that, I have been supplementing my diet with [David's] all natural products. For example, every morning my Mother mixes a scoop of Scoop of Greens in a protein shake for me along with a couple of drops of Ionic Elements. Also, / always make sure to take the Master Amino Complex before work outs and games. 1 can actually feel the difference and believe I am now more explosive on the court. After practice and games I take a teaspoon full of PHP’s terrific antioxidant drink known as Apothe-Cherry which helps me recover in time for my next practice or event. I think my results since becoming a believer in Purium Health Products are proof that healthy supplements can help you achieve more.

Purium Health Products has most of my favorite organic whole foods.

Name:Frieda Bobay
Title: Fitness model/ Natural Body Builder
Achievements: 3rd place in Women’s Fitness Model division of the Zac Titus “Fame Hollywood 2007″ competition
Favorite PHP Product:Master Aminos, Spirulina, Organic Kamut Blend, Rice Bran Solubles, Aktivated Barley
“I used to drink a lot of coffee and lived fairly unhealthily. I‘ve always wanted to get in shape, but the drive wasn’t there until a friend of mine, a personal trainer [Koya Webb], got me to sign up for a fitness competition. I had a deadline. I had to shape up fast. In order for my body to perform like I needed it to perform, I knew I had to keep my energy level up- coffee was out and that was very difficult for me. I love coffee! So I had to find energy elsewhere.”
Frieda used a combination of products- Spirulina, Organic Kamut, Rice Bran Solubles, and Aktivated Barley* as well as the Master Amino Complex to dramatically improve her workout.
“Whenever I had a sugar craving while I was working out, I had a green shake. When I didn’t I’d be lethargic and tired…I also think the Green Kamut helped my dandruff because when I started drinking it, my scalp stopped flaking.”
Frieda’s hard work and dedication paid off when she competed in the prestigious Zac Titus “Fame Hollywood 2007” event on Sept. 15th and placed 3rd in the women’s division in her very first competition, an amazing feat for someone who by her own admission loved junk food and hated working out!
*Please note that for your convenience- a full serving of each of the aforementioned products, plus a serving of Purium’s Carrot Juice Plus, are now all included in Purium’s Power Shake- saving our consumers both time and money!

Jeremy Jackson’s story has a much happier ‘ending’ than most child stars; unlike many of his peers that were thrust into fame at an early age and then developed a substance abuse problem, ultimately he did not let the drugs get the best of him. After his battle with drug addiction (both during and after the 9 years he spent playing Hobie Buchanan on the ‘90s phenomenon ‘Baywatch’) he made it through rehab and ten years later is still a working actor, passionate about remaining clean and sober, and healthier than he has ever been! Far gone from his often destructive ways as a teenager, his renewed dedication to personal health, fitness, and wellness have propelled him into the best shape he has ever been in his life and has led him to help out countless colleagues through their own battles with addiction…So really, this is just the ‘beginning’ for the ‘new and improved’, and most importantly, supremely healthy Jeremy Jackson!
“I always had a love for fitness and a curiosity of how it all works. For years I tried different aspects of fitness. I loved swimming, running, weightlifting, and mixed martial arts. Until recently, I never realized how much science there really is with fitness and to achieving my ultimate goals. The reason I got to my goals is because I really and truly wanted to learn the correct way for optimal fitness and not just to have the nicest body.
Eric Nies turned me on to David Sandoval/Purium Health Products during our filming of VH1’s “Confessions of Teen Idol” [aired January 2009] – FINALLY my fitness routine was supplemented PROPERLY with an optimal nutritional plan when I began to take the Power Shake (with an extra serving of the Rice Bran Solubles and Aktivated Barley) Master Aminos, Super Male Formula, Astaxanthin Advantage, Revive-it-All, Ionic Elements, and Coconut Oil (I use it on my skin, to cook with and in shakes) on a daily basis. I now do all these EVERY DAY and I could NOT imagine ever stopping this health plan! Eleanor Roosevelt once said something that really resonated with me, “It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan”. This is so true- take it from me, Jeremy Jackson.”

Name: “Vicious” Vivian Harris
Sport: Boxing
Achievements: IBA and WBA World championships
Favorite PHP Products:Awesome Products for Athletes line
Born June 17, 1978 in Georgetown, Guyana (Africa) Vivian Harris was seduced by the boxing game at an early age. A track & field and soccer standout as a child, Vivian was introduced to the sweet science by his father, a fight promoter, and his brother, an amateur boxer.
Once, while watching his brother get pummeled by an opponent, an overzealous Vivian jumped into the ring to try and help his sibling. The boys’ dad held Vivian back but knew the fire was lit.
Despite the protestations of his mother, Vivian made his in-ring debut at the age of twelve. Resorting to hiding his gear from his mom, the young fighter took odd jobs such as shoveling snow to pay his gym dues and battled his way to the Guyana National championships and upon arriving in the U.S., the 1997 New York Golden Gloves.
Eventually, his mother found out that he was fighting behind her back and locked him out of the house. Forced to live with family and friends, Vivian soon discovered that his girlfriend was pregnant with his first child. It was then that he knew that boxing was no longer just a passion but a means of survival.
Turning pro on November 4, 1997 at the tender age of nineteen, Vivian beat his first opponent, Levi Long, via 4th round KO. Soon signing with Main Event Boxing, everything was looking up for Harris. A new baby, a new career, and reconciliation with his mother. Then tragedy reared its ugly head.
A week before a scheduled televised fight on ESPN2, Harris was accosted by a robber outside a store. Rather than give his money up to the thief, Vivian fought back and was stabbed in the stomach.
Clinging to life. Harris’ boxing career seemed a million miles away. Doctors said that Vivian was literally five minutes away from death. They said that he would never fight again. To make matters worse, the relationship with the mother of his child ended.
It was then that he found the love of his life, who nursed him back to health and helped him resume his road to greatness. Taking control of his career, Vivian ignored the critics and stepped back into the ring, knocking out his very first opponent.
With animal instinct and razor-like precision, Vivian earned the nickname “Vicious” as he plowed through the competition, garnering number one contender status at the age of 23. His dreams were realized on October 19, 2002, when he beat Diobelys Hurtado to capture both the IBA and WBA World championships.
After a successful two-year reign, Harris was eventually unseated by Carlos Maussa but remains one of the top ranked fighters in the world. With a record of 29-3-1 and 19 KO’s, “Vicious” Vivian Harris has his eye squarely on current light welterweight king, Manny Pacquiao, vowing to once again sit at the top of the boxing mountain.
