In 2003, my wife, Shakti, started taking Herbal Fiberblend® and eliminated a two-meter tapeworm from her bowel. With Shakti’s success, I and our five- and six-year-old children started taking Herbal Fiberblend too.

We knew AIM was a network marketing company, but because our minds were closed due to previous experiences with network marketing, we didn’t want to work the business side of AIM. For two years, we simply used AIM products, purchased wholesale and sold retail, charging our customers more for product and postage.

Because of our high volume, we were invited to a convention in Sydney. We flew down intending to simply have a holiday and maybe learn something. We were surprised. We met the nicest people: the co-owners (Dennis & Kay), the Australian/NZ general manager (Melinda), along with numerous Members who were creating better lives by using AIM products and building their businesses.

We returned with a new attitude and changed perceptions. I was working long hours as a draftsman whilst Shakti was busy on the phone, contacting existing and new customers, telling them how they could improve their health and save or earn money.

Within a few years, we had advanced to Blue Diamond Directors and our income was such that I then had a choice to not accept the next

drafting contract. Since then, we have created a full-time income through our AIM business and enjoyed the company of new friends at conferences around Australia and the USA.

Our experience is testament to the power of network marketing and how having an open mind and a change of attitude can make all the difference.

With the changing dynamics affecting the traditional work model, now is the perfect time to ‘get serious’ about focusing on your AIM business by helping more people improve their health, and the bonus is—you get paid for it.

“The most expensive thing you can ever own is a closed mind.”

Billie Burke, known for playing Glinda the Good Witch in The Wizard of Oz, once said “Age is of no importance unless you are a cheese.” As non-cheeses, we probably agree with the adage to some degree. But when we are forced to deal with the uncomfortable symptoms of the aging process, it becomes important to find a way to reduce or alleviate those problems in order to get back to our rich, full lives.

Menopause is a natural transition women go through as they age. It’s a normal part of life, but that doesn’t mean it has to be an uncomfortable part of life. Typically occurring in women aged forty to sixty, menopause may bring a host of disagreeable symptoms that vary from person to person: hot flashes, bloating, and loss of sleep, joint pain, fatigue, irritability and headaches. Just because these symptoms are commonplace, it doesn’t mean that you have to sit there and suffer.

The AIM Companies carries a product used and recommended by its Mem bers for nearly twenty years. AIM’s all-natural Renewed Balance™ cream contains pro ges-terone from Mexican wild yam along with aloe leaf

juice, avocado oil, carrot root extract and rosemary leaf extract.

Progesterone, from Mexican wild yam is considerated a bioidentical hormone due to chemical similarities to the hormones in a woman’s body.

One study published in the 1999 issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology looked at transdermal progesterone cream to see if it could improve bone density and relieve vasomotor symptoms (aka hot flashes, night sweats, flushing). Researchers sampled 102 healthy women who were within five years of menopause. Those who did not receive a placebo applied 20 mg of transdermal progesterone to their skin daily and were reviewed for symptoms every four months. After one year, 83 percent of the women who were using progesterone cream saw an improvement or a resolution to their vasomotor symptoms. Bone density was unaffected.

Renewed Balance has been one of our top-selling products, espe-cially among women. So if you’re looking for an all-natural, plant-derived progesterone cream, then look no further.

A controversial theory regarding the presence of cancer stem cells (CSC) may suggest a reason why this disease persists and may return even after medical treatment.

As the theory goes, amid all cancerous cells, some operate as stem cells that reproduce and nurture the growth of the cancer in the same way that body tissue and organs are sustained by normal stem cells. Scientists in the Ludwig Center for Cancer Stem Cell Research and Medicine at Stanford observed that “our normal stem cells are the only cells that reproduce themselves and are, therefore, around long enough to accumulate all the necessary changes to produce cancer. The theory is that

If stem cells are in the driver’s seat of the cancer vehicle, it could mean that many of the therapies that shrink or kill tumors are missing the driving factor behind the malignancy, and this insidious disease can reappear in the original or a different location in the body.

This is our thirty-second year with AIM, and this last year has shown us how much we have benefitted from taking AIM products. We are very thankful to the Lord for directing us to AIM.

In April 2014, my hus-band, Albert, was limping so badly that the Forest Service made him resign from his job after thirteen years of service. He had to undergo a total hip replacement in June. Before the surgery, his nurse told him that it was the first time she had taken the stats of someone who was Albert’s age and not on medication. Right after the operation, we found him sitting up eating his dinner. The nurses called him amazing in his recovery. The day after surgery, the nurse asked him if he could walk 30 feet and he walked 130 feet without a problem. His immune system was very strong, and he had hardly any pain. Even the home health nurses said it was very unusual for him to be so healthy after a hip replacement. A month later, the doctor signed a letter stating he could go back to work at the Forest Service with no restrictions although his employer said that was too soon. They didn’t hire him back until April 2015. Albert turned eighty in July.

In January 2015, my doctor had me get a colonoscopy. He thought I was constipated when I started having problems in December. I’ve never been constipated except once when I was a teenager. How surprised we were when the doctor found my colon almost closed off by a cancerous tumor. Cancer was the last thing I thought I would ever experience since I watch what I eat, and I have been very health conscious for over fifty years. My life was not my own from January until May 4 as I had chemo and radiation, but thankfully I was never sick nor did I lose my hair. The main products I took faithfully were at least 3 to 6 heaping tablespoons of AIM BarleyLife®, 1 to 2 tablespoons of AIM Just Carrots® and 2 teaspoons of AIM RediBeets® every day.

My surgery was on May 4, and my doctor said it was textbook perfect. The nurses commented on my excellent

health, saying I wasn’t a typical patient. Feeling great and having no pain, it was hard not to overdo it in recovery. The doctor was able to remove the tumor

close to my rectum without requiring me to have a colostomy bag.

We thank the Lord for his amazing mercy to both my husband and me. We have excellent doctors in McCall, Idaho, for which we are grateful. Again, we thank AIM for their excellent health products. We are baffled over me even getting cancer, but the Lord knows the reason. If I can help someone with their health, it will be worth it all.

I just received my AIM order last week with the new Living Well magazine (June 2015). I am really excited about the article about the AIM Mag-nificence™ magnesium lotion. A day or two before getting my order, I fell flat on my stomach on our driveway, twisting my ankle. By evening my ankle started hurting, and that night I had shooting pains whenever I tried walking on it. Thinking I would have to get it X-rayed in the morning, I soaked my foot using the crystals and then rubbed the lotion over my foot. Praying about it, we went to bed, and by morning the pain had left. It was a little swollen but thankfully the pain never returned. Thank you, AIM, for publishing that excellent article.

We’ve been taught that we get nutrition from the things that we eat. So when you apply lotion or a spray to the skin or soak in a bath with crystals added, nutrition may not be the first thing that leaps to mind. However, our topical Mag-nificence™ products were designed with nutrition at the forefront. Essential magnesium is involved in hundreds upon hundreds of biological acti-vities in the body, but only around 20 percent of the population gets the recommended daily amount of magnesium through their diets. Furthermore, a lot of people have trouble with oral magnesium because it can have a laxative effect, ironically, making it hard to absorb.

Magnesium is difficult to test for as the blood will only contain about 1 percent of your body’s supply. This may be part of the reason why magnesium deficiency is both widespread and overlooked.

It may seem counterintuitive that you can get a nutrient through your skin, but when you think about it, that’s how vitamin D works. Today, there is a growing body of evidence showing that magnesium can be absorbed through the epidermis.

From Carolyn Dean, MD’s book the Magnesium Miracle, “Magnesium oil can be sprayed on the body and is readily absorbed through the skin. It helps greatly to increase the amount of magnesium in body tissues and overcomes the problems that some people have with loose stools when they try and take enough magnesium to meet their needs. “

A study presented at a scientific conference by researchers showed that magnesium traveled through the skin of cadavers when applied like a lotion.

A pilot study out of England found that “magnesium in the chloride form will raise magnesium levels within the body over a relatively short period of time.”

The University of Maryland Medical Center website simply states, “Some magnesium can be absorbed through the skin.”

Benefits of topical magnesium when compared to oral supplementation: No loose stools

Bypasses the kidney and liver

Able to target problem areas directly

Zero calories

Unaffected by anything going on in the GI tract

Relaxing

Able to take as needed

The AIM Companies provides Mag-nificence topical magnesium in three forms: lotion, spray and bath crystals. How will you get your magnesium?

Why Topical Magnesium?

Note: The main ingredient in Mag-nificence is magnesium chloride.

The day I walked into my doctor’s office after a routine mammogram sixteen years ago, I never thought I would hear her say, “You have breast cancer,” but she did. What a shock as I had been relatively healthy all of my life.

That was the start of my journey to regain my health. The doctor sent me to a surgeon, who did a biopsy that confirmed the findings on the mammogram.

The surgeon said I should have surgery to remove the cancer or that he could remove my entire breast. He also advised radiation treatments after the surgery. I didn’t like the sound of any of this, so my husband took me to Princess Margaret Hospital for a second opinion. They said the same thing. I went back to the surgeon again, but God gave me no peace about having surgery and radiation treatments. I felt there had to be something natural I could do, so I prayed.

I am so thankful that God directed me to Edna Smith (AIM Chairman’s Club Director), who prayed with me and told me not to fear

but to have faith. She explained that disease thrives in an acidic environment and AIM BarleyLife® is one of the most alkaline foods that you can put into your body.

I started to eat more fruit and vegetables and less meat as well as taking eight tablespoons of BarleyLife a day, two tablespoons at a time. I knew I was getting natural help by taking lots of this green nutrition and drinking fresh carrot juice as well. I also took four AIM Proancynol® 2000 capsules per day as it contains powerful antioxidants that fight disease-causing free radicals. To help clean out my colon, I added AIM Herbal Fiberblend® to my diet. It was good to know that I was cleaning out toxins and old garbage by taking Herbal Fiberblend and building my cells back to health with dietary changes, barley grass juice powder and carrot juice. My energy increased and I started to feel better after a couple of months.

When I went back for another mammogram two years later, there was no sign of cancer. I told my doctor what I had done nutritionally, but she wasn’t interested. I continue to have a yearly mammogram, and they are always clear. I thank God for the direction He gave me.

I am convinced that AIM nutrition is the best on the market, and I am living proof that

it works.

Digestive enzymes are our funny little friends. They’re not alive like the probiotics, but like a living creature, it is possible to kill/deactivate enzymes. Food in its natural state should contain enzymes, but because so much of what we eat is either cooked or processed, we often don’t get the digestive enzymes that

we’re supposed to.

Enzymes are important because they perform a number of key roles in the body. They facilitate the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and help transform food into nutrients as well as playing a part in tissue repair and promoting a healthy immune system.

They may also improve digestive health by relieving symptoms of heartburn, diarrhea, flatulence, gas pain, stomach ache, irritable bowel syndrome and constipation.

Testimonial

This is the funniest, yet the most amazing testimony because it’s personal. I thought over the years that the older you are, the sicker you’re supposed to get, but I recently discovered something amazing. About a year ago, I went back to the DMV to renew my driver’s license. For over twenty-five years, I had a restriction on my license. I had to wear glasses. I realized over the past year or so that I don’t need my glasses, but because I had this restriction on my license, I had to put my glasses on when I was driving; otherwise, it could mean a big ticket. So I passed [the vision] test. I thought to myself what have I done differently? I decided that ever since I started

to work with cancer clients who were taking huge amounts of BarleyLife, I, myself, started taking more BarleyLife. I want to say somewhere in the area of six to ten teaspoons a day

consistently. My vision got better, and I have my license to prove it. It says “No Restrictions.”

We cut coupons. We buy wholesale, and we scour the papers, the Internet and magazines for the best deals around. We’re savvy. We work hard for our money, and we will not be parted with it unless we know, for sure, that our investments are wise and meaningful.

The wisest and most meaningful investment you can make is in your health, and the easiest way to improve your health is through proper nutrition. That’s why products like AIM’s BarleyLife®, Herbal Fiberblend® and Just Carrots®

are intrinsically a good value. But what makes AIM products even better is the new and amazing evidence that nutritional supplements can save you money in the long run.

Recently, researchers sifted through an immense body of literature that spanned nineteen scientific journals and dozens of articles on the cost and cost-effectiveness of nutritional supplements used in care facilities such as nursing homes. They found that care centers that employed nutritional supplements saved money by offsetting healthcare costs. These findings were published in the July 2015 issue of Clinical Nutrition.

When non-disease specific nutritional supplements were used for periods of

Health Is Literally Wealth

October 2015 11

less than three months, the facilities saved 5 percent on healthcare costs, and when supplements were used regularly for longer than three months those savings rose to 9.2 percent. On average, the savings were large enough for scientists to conclude that supplement usage produced an overall cost advantage or, at the very least, covered the expense of their implementation. The data also showed a correlation between nutritional supplements and an improve-ment in overall quality of life as well as lower rates of falls, functional limitations, infections and minor post-operative complications.

This study is just one of many that shows how important nutrition is for overall health. Proper nutrition has been linked to longevity. It helps reduce the risk of obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. It has also been shown to lower your risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some cancers, and as it turns out, nutritional supplements may also keep your pocketbook healthy, too.

The AIM Companies™ offers an entire line of quality nutritional and wholefood supplements made with integrity from the finest and purest sources to ensure that you get all the nutrients, fiber, protein, antioxidants and vitamins your body needs to stay healthy, wealthy and wise.

Red Rush athlete and AIM Member Mark O’Donovan is one of Ireland’s top rowers. He’s a former National Champion and snagged a silver medal from the World Championships. When he’s

not rowing, he’s working on a Master’s Degree in Sports Performance and recently became a strength and conditioning coach for the Paralympic rowing team.

Mark narrowly missed out on qualifying for the 2012 Olympics, but lately, he’s been on fire. He, along with his rowing partner and fellow

Skibbereen native Shane O’Driscoll, set a new Irish Course Record for the men’s lightweight double, winning the Cork Regatta earlier this year.

“Although it was just a national regatta in Ireland, we were still very happy with the result. We set a course record. It was fine to show everyone what we can do, and it was good preparation for racing in the World Cup,” Mark said.

A few weeks later, Mark, again rowing with O’Driscoll in the lightweight men’s double, took sixth place in the World Cup in Lucerne, Switzerland, the only Irish crew to qualify for the A Finals this year.

“We had a good race on the semi-final. We led most of the way toward the end, but decided to take a back seat in order to keep some reserve in the tank. Things were serious in the finals. We didn’t have the most favorable lane and there was wind. We raced as hard as we could and we wanted to do better, but that was just the reality of it. We still managed a pretty good result.”

The general strategy behind racing is to go as fast and as hard as you can, but Mark takes each race step by step, making sure everything is nailed down with no slip-ups. When he races, he mentally breaks the course into sections, rowing hard enough to keep his boat—if not in the lead then—within touching

distance of the pack, so that they’re still in good condition for the last leg of the race. During the final 250 meters, they give it all they got.

Mark’s goal is to row for Ireland in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. And like his racing strategy, he’s making gains step by step. Each of these races and his experience and strict training regimen have pushed him to the forefront of the Irish rowing scene. If this hot streak continues, we’ll likely see him in the Olympics as part of a four-man crew. Red Rush is helping him achieve his goals.

“Red Rush stops the fatigue of such strenuous racing,” O’Donovan said. “With rowing, it’s all about the power to get us down the course. The nitric oxide helps delay the fatigue of a major lactic acid hit. It feels like easy speed. You can keep working without your limbs feeling slow and heavy. It’s a vital part of my preparation at any stage.”
