Here at The AIM Companies™, we’re having FUN and celebrating all month long. This is the month that celebrates the founding of our great nation (July 4) as well as Canada Day (July 1). The 2013 AIM Convention in Boise, Idaho, this month celebrates the journey that began thirty-one years ago with our mission to help people improve their health, wealth, and quality of life … and have fun along the way.

The launch of the AIM Academy just over a year ago was an important part of continuing our mission. Those who have completed the curriculum are showing the greatest growth of their AIM businesses. These graduates tell us they are having a lot of fun as they educate thousands more, helping people improve their health and happiness.

As we all know, health and happiness are undeniably linked to one another. Giving your body what it needs makes you feel better, which can allow you to have a bigger impact on the world. As for huge impacts, this month we are also celebrating the accomplishments of our Members. Please join us in congratulating AIM Chairman’s Club Members Connie and Steve Knight—inductees into our Three Million Dollar Club—and Royal Emerald Director Richard Ekstrom, who is being inducted into our Two Million Dollar Club. These elite Members will be honored at the AIM Convention. If you ask them, I’m sure they will be glad to share with you just how much fun they have had helping countless people improve their health and wealth with AIM.

Now go out and have some FUN! There are still a lot of people out there that need our help.

We’re having FUN and Celebrating!

In July 2012, Chairman’s Club Directors Steve and Connie Knight joined the Three Million Dollar Club. Given that last year’s AIM convention took place at sea in April, the Knights’ induction into this elite membership happens this month at the 2013 AIM Convention in Boise, Idaho.

Steve and Connie are the first to admit that they could never have achieved this milestone without the support of their upline and downline, whom they gratefully acknowledge along with AIM Members outside of their organization, including Chairman’s Club Directors Dr. Mary Ruth Swope and Janet Pauly.

Like so many AIM Members who didn’t intend to be in business, the Knights’ road to success was ignited by their sponsors, Dan and Louise Erceg, who left their AIM legacy to Richard Ekstrom, Royal Emerald Director.

Uncle Dan and Aunt Louise arrived at the Knights’ home back in 1985 for what turned out to be a visit lasting several months. The Ercegs brought along a TV, a VCR, and a video of Chairman’s Club Director Janet Pauly’s first talk. This helped Connie and Steve in setting up appointments with one to three people every day in their home for two weeks. Although the groups invited were small in number, after watching the Janet Pauly video, each person either bought some of their AIM inventory or ordered six-packs.

Within four weeks, the excitement surrounding AIM green nutrition brought them to the Director level. Three and a half years later, Connie and Steve Knight became Chairman’s Club Directors, the highest of the elite levels in the AIM Member Income Plan. Reaching the Three Million Dollar Club is an incredible accomplishment for a couple that never planned on building an AIM business.

During the past twenty-eight years, Connie and Steve have witnessed their own health benefits and those of countless others who use AIM products. The success of their AIM business eventually allowed Connie and Steve to retire from their day jobs and fulfill their hearts’ desire to be active part-time in a missionary capacity, taking them to worldwide destinations.

For the many rewards of this “awesome opportunity”, Connie and Steve are grateful for the support and encouragement of The AIM Companies™. Connie stated, “We especially want to thank co-owners Ron and Opal Wright and Dennis and Kay Itami along with Chairman’s Club Directors Jim and Carolyn Kling … the original “go-getters” who paved the way for us to grab hold of this wonderful opportunity. We are forever indebted to them.”

When it comes to inheriting an AIM business, Royal Emerald Director Richard Ekstrom of hayden, Idaho, has an interesting tale to tell. his Uncle Dan’s dedication to helping people with AIM products has led to Richard’s

induction into the Two Million Dollar Club at the 2013 AIM Convention in Boise, Idaho.

The first thing Richard emphasizes is that Daniel Erceg was the one who built the business and earned this

income through hard work—the personification of the American Dream.

“As far as I know, Dan was a half aboriginal native of New Zealand,” Richard recollected.

“After being kicked out of Australia for refusing to join the army, my uncle moved to America and worked

as a nurse. he started with AIM at the age of sixty-five and became a millionaire.” however, it was not about

the money. For Dan Erceg, it was about transforming lives.

“he believed God called him to deliver AIM BarleyLife® to the world,” Richard said. “his

downline is in seven countries.”

Dan had wanted his twenty-year-old nephew to get involved with AIM, but beyond taking the products, Richard did not see the business potential at the time. he was focused on becoming a helicopter pilot.

By the age of thirty-six, Richard had been an on-and-off AIM distributor. AIM BarleyLife and AIM Herbal

Fiberblend® had helped him to lose forty-seven pounds, and AIM Composure® relieved his pain and stress from a herniated

disc, so he knew AIM products could improve people’s health.

When the health of Dan and his wife, Louise, began to fail in 2006, Richard was asked to handle the family finances and take care of his uncle and aunt, who had no children.

As both a Chairman’s Club Director in Dan’s downline and the wife of Richard’s first cousin, Steve, Connie Knight was instrumental in encouraging Richard to maintain his uncle’s business. “I had no idea what I was getting myself into,” Richard stated. “I started out keeping the business alive to keep them alive, and it turned out to be a blessing.”

Dan passed away in 2009 at the age of eighty-nine after struggling with Alzheimer’s disease for several years. In 2010, before Louise passed from the same debilitating disease, Richard started a

charity—the Daniel Erceg Memorial Foundation, funded by the income from his uncle’s AIM business. Receiving only a small management fee, Richard administers the trust fund that

donates to various charities—primarily church youth groups— throughout northern Idaho. Even

after his death, Dan Erceg continues to transform lives through his AIM legacy.

Great-tasting greens can be yours with the new AIM CoCoa LeafGreens™, a blend of four green leaf powders, broccoli sprout powder, and cocoa. This blend is unlike anything else on the market, and the delicious flavor is unlike any green drink you have ever tasted!

New cocoa flavor— delicious and nutritious

CoCoa LeafGreens adds to the original LeafGreens blend of spinach, barley, bean, and pea leaves and broccoli sprouts with a three-part mixture of cocoa powders—organic cacao powder, organic cocoa powder, and alkalized (Dutch) cocoa.

The organic cacao powder is derived from fermented cacao beans, which are abundant in natural antioxidants and fiber. The other two powders are obtained through hydraulic pressing of cocoa mass.

The value of a balanced body pHyour body needs a well-balanced acid-

alkaline environment to function. Unfortunately, the modern diet is decidedly acidifying. Meat, dairy, and grains highlight the list of acid-forming foods, and they also are found in high amounts in the standard North American diet.

health problems arise as over-acidification leads to toxicity and disease.

Where can you find help? In green drinks like CoCoa LeafGreens.

To balance the acid-forming foods that we consume, an alkalizing option is a must. Based on a scientific measure of ph effect called PRAL (Potential Renal Acid Load), the four-leaf blend in CoCoa LeafGreens is an ideal supplemental option, providing a significant alkalizing effect for maintaining a healthy body ph.

To discover the difference that CoCoa LeafGreens makes on your body ph, you can test yourself at home with the ph Test Kit from AIM ($12.50, 5488E in the U.S., $12.50, 4656E in Canada).

Cocoa and cognitive functionThe triple-cocoa mixture in CoCoa LeafGreens

has benefits beyond taste. Cocoa is growing in popularity in the supplement industry for a variety of valuable uses—as an antioxidant, a disease fighter, and a brain booster.

Last fall, a study was published stating cocoa’s positive effect on cognition. An Italian research team discovered that consuming high levels of the natural compounds found in cocoa may

improve cognitive function. Their study compared a group of participants that received a daily cocoa beverage containing moderate to high levels of flavonols with a group that received a daily beverage with low levels of flavonols. The first group performed better in tests for verbal fluency, visual searching, and attention than the second group.

The reasons for the brain boost seem to lie with a particular flavonol called (-)-epicatechin. The com pound belongs to a family of catechins, which are abundant in cocoa. The (-)-epicatechin is believed to increase circulation and assist in the growth of blood vessels.

In addition to the groundbreaking human study on cocoa and cognition, animal studies have supported the benefits of flavonols as well.

A mood-enhancing pick-me-upEating chocolate is more than just a psy-

chological mood booster. The science behind cocoa’s effect on mood points to the hundreds of compounds that boost endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine in the body—chemicals that have a positive effect on well-being and outlook.

The naturally-occurring compounds in cocoa are plentiful.

Theobromine stimulates the cardiovascular system and acts as a diuretic, and its presence contributes to cocoa’s anti-depressant and mood-enhancing properties.

Phenethylamine (PEA), another cocoa compound, stimulates the nervous system to release endorphins, which are noted mood enhancers, and dopamine. PEA increases in the brain when we fall in love.

Another cocoa compound of note is anandamide, whose name can be traced to the Sanskrit word for “bliss.” The compound binds to receptor sites in the brain and produces a feeling of euphoria.

Amazing amounts of antioxidants in every serving

To better evaluate the complete antioxidant potential of natural products, ORAC5.0™ was developed.

CoCoa LeafGreens contains a superb 16,634 Total ORAC per day. This score includes measurements in each of the five Total ORAC tests, with notable results for CoCoa LeafGreens’ ability to combat peroxyl (the most abundant free radical in the body), hydroxyl, and singlet oxygen. Check out the AIM CoCoa LeafGreens datasheet for more information.

CoCoa LeafGreens tastes like no green drink you’ve ever tried. It builds immunity, supports your brain, improves your mood, and keeps you healthy. Taste the difference that cocoa can make. Try new CoCoa LeafGreens today.

Traveling has always been one of Donna Eilertsen’s priorities in life. “Basically, I worked hard all my life so that I could afford

to travel,” she admitted. “Otherwise, I would have

earned just enough to live simply and stay home.”

home is Vancouver, British Columbia, where Donna has lived for over fifty-three years. During those years, she journeyed to her desired destinations all over the world including Europe, South America, and Asia. When she retired in 2008, Donna had all the time in the world to focus on where to go next. She had dreamed of going to Africa as a little girl and made that dream come true in January 2013.

“I started planning over a year before the plane took off, so I got a great deal on the flight, hotels, and safaris,” Donna explained. Going to Africa also requires a fair amount of vaccinations that must be done well in advance. “I wanted to stay healthy throughout the trip and was concerned about the day-long flight.”

having struggled with jet lag and colds from flying, Donna read with great interest a testimonial about AIM Proancynol® 2000 in

Living Well magazine. Chairman’s Club Director Janet Pauly had

taken this natural health product to avoid jet lag and received an unexpected result: She got rid of a persistent cough. Donna decided to buy Proancynol 2000—six months before her trip.

This world traveler became a Preferred Member a month after joining AIM in May 2010. She regularly takes four heart health products—AIM CellSparc 360®, AIMega®, AIM Kyolic® Aged Garlic Extract™ (CAN), and AIM FibreBalance®

her advance plans for staying healthy throughout her dream-of-a-lifetime trip worked. Traveling and camping out on chilly nights under African skies can negatively affect health. But unlike most of the people she met on safari in Kenya and Tanzania, Donna never got sick. Some of her traveling companions were surprised that she managed to stay healthy, especially since Donna was the retired elder of the group.

Keeping in touch with her new worldwide friends after she returned to Canada in good health, Donna was surprised to find out through e-mails and phone calls that none of them had taken their supplements while on vacation. Back home, each had a terrible cold, so they asked Donna where they could buy the products that had kept her well. “I told them about AIM,” Donna said, “especially Proancynol 2000 for flying.”

Showing no signs of slowing down or fading interest in new adventures, Donna turned seventy in April. In the same month, she confirmed a flight to Bali for January 2014. her traveling companion to Indonesia asked her to buy extra Proancynol 2000 for the trip.

No more pain, no more problems—Cathlene Blanton, AIM Director, had yearned for this relief.

Cathlene shared her story with us last year, and was dealing with new challenges in 2013.

Facing the prospect of her seventeenth surgery, this one for neck pain and bulging discs, Cathlene tried AIM Mag- nificence™ magnesium. Within days, she could feel the magnes-ium working on a cellular level in her body. Two weeks later, her surgery was canceled, and her neck problems vanished.

“When the doctors took a follow-up x-ray, they realized I had no arthritis, no sign of the bulging discs in my neck,” Cathlene said. “I didn’t have to have any surgeries. My neck problems have seemed to have gone away thanks to the addition of Mag-nificence to my AIM BarleyLife® and other AIM products. Today, I live with no pain.”

To understand what was happening to her, Cathlene turned to AIM Director Melissa Dobney, who introduced her to AIM products including Mag-nificence. Cathlene said. “As the tissue and bone improved, my pain decreased, and I was able to avoid surgery.”

Cathlene uses Mag-nificence gel daily, before she goes to sleep. She also takes baths using crystals three to four times a week and

applies the Mag-nificence spray in the morning and at night.

In addition to resolving her neck problems, Cathlene also experienced benefits to her spine. Prior to Mag-nificence magnesium, her spine would hurt from top to bottom because of sciatica.

“Two weeks after regularly applying the gel,” Cathlene said, “my spine started feeling better. Soon after that, the doctors said I have no problems with

my spine anymore. I believe I don’t even have sciatica anymore.

Cathlene’s remarkable results using a wide variety of AIM products have inspired her to share AIM with others and build a business. She has seen her downline grow as she climbs toward an elite level in the Member Income Plan.

“My goal is to spread wealth, spread health,” Cathlene said. “I want people to know that you can get better—not only live, not only survive, but thrive.”

After a family member was diagnosed with a serious illness, I began my self-education into health and came to the realization that health and nutrition were intrinsically linked and that a plant-based diet was the key to healing and preventing illness.

“The Academy gave me the education and framework I was missing. I now have an excellent understanding of how

all the systems of the body work together synergistically, how good eating is sometimes just not enough, and how supplements are needed to repair the body at a cellular level. I now feel confident recommending AIM products to support and enhance. I feel like I finally have the right tools in my nutritional arsenal!

Members who have graduated from the AIM Academy are earning more income, expanding their businesses, and sharing more confidently with others than ever before. you too can become a part of this rapidly expanding group of living well advocates by enrolling in the Academy.

For the past year, the AIM Academy has provided nutrition and business education for hundreds of graduates. These graduates are succeeding at a higher

rate than any other segment of the AIM family. here is what one of the recent

graduates, Preferred Member Kat Evatt from Columbia, South Carolina, had to say about her experience in the AIM Academy:
