Shared by Teresa Schumacher

Pain and suffering has led me on my journey to seek answers. In 1944, I married my G.I. husband and immigrated to the United States a year later. In my home town of Naples, Italy, I maintained good health throughout WWII even with little to eat most days. After coming to the United States and enjoying the bounties of this great country, my health took a turn for the worse. I was faced with chronic constipation which led to hemorrhoids and years of pain and suffering. I had two surgeries, one of which left me bedridden for months. I knew if I ate, I had to eliminate, so I ate very little and went from 125 pounds to 90 pounds.

My sister-in-law found a hippie couple that used herbs. They helped me more than any doctor. I knew little about nutrition, and they instructed me on what to eat: no sugar and no white flour products, lots of vegetables, all-bran cereal for fiber and coffee to stimulate the liver. This became my routine. Even when I went to Italy on the beautiful ocean liner The Michelangelo, I’d forgo the wonderful foods offered at breakfast and had my bowl of all-bran cereal.

My late husband never had bowel problems but died of colon cancer in 1971. I was the one with colon problems, yet he was the one to die. I began to study herbs and iridology—examining the iris of the eye to diagnose health problems.

I had a lady from southeastern Utah come stay with me for two weeks while we worked on a formula to help her. She had been doing juice fasts and not improving. Doing an iris analysis, I could see she had many parasites throughout her body. I prayed to find the herbs to rid her of parasites and heal her body.

God directed me to the herbs that I should use. As she cleansed, she passed parasites and other matter. With the success I had with her, I began using the same formula on my other clients, helping them to achieve similar results.

About this time, I was introduced to AIM’s barley powder. I began giving it to my clients. I was cleaning them out with the herbs and building them up with the barley.

Dennis Itami and Ron Wright took notice of the amount of barley I was selling, and Ron made a trip

to St. George to see what I was doing. After using my herbal formula himself and sharing it with a few individuals, he asked me what my dream would be. Of course, it would be finding a better and less expensive way to take the formula. He provided a chemist to break the formula down and what we now have is AIM Herbal Fiberblend®.

Thanks to Heavenly Father and AIM, I have been led on an incredible journey. Heavenly Father provided the way and the means to bring about a product that has helped thousands of people, not only with good elimination and healthy colons, but it has also prevented a lot of unnecessary suffering. There is no better feeling than to receive a letter or a phone call thanking me for sharing Herbal Fiberblend, BarleyLife and the other AIM products.

AIM has been a blessing in my life in so many ways, from the quality products to the wonderful staff and AIM’s owners, Ron Wright and Dennis Itami.

We’re pleased to announce the location of our 2016 AIM Conference (May 18-22). You’ll get all the great nutrition, health and business info that you expect from our memorable AIM Conferences, but next year you’ll get a taste of the folksy downhome atmosphere of the Ozarks as well as world-class entertainment of a major city.

We’ll be staying at the beautiful and luxurious Chateau on the Lake Resort Spa and Convention Center, a wonderful place with full amenities, including a pool, fine dining, a spa and even a full-service marina.

Nestled in the Ozark Mountains of southern Missouri near Lake Taneycomo, Branson is popularly known as the “Live Entertainment Capital of the World” due to the more than fifty theaters hosting 100-plus live shows lining its thoroughfares. Famous entertainers from all around the globe have built venues there.

But the wonderful live entertainment is just the tip of the iceberg. The shopping is phenomenal. Branson, a town of just over ten thousand, boasts two outlet malls with over 200 stores between them. For those of you who like to shop in style, unforgettable Branson Landing offers 1.5 miles of walkable, lamp-lit lakeside stores and restaurants. And if fine dining is what excites you, restaurants like Buckingham’s Restaurant, The Ledgestone Grill and Altenhof Inn Restaurant have gained national renown.

And for the outdoorsperson, you cannot be disappointed by the location. Branson is home to thirteen golf courses, including the famed Payne Stewart Golf Course. If fishing is your thing, nearby Table Rock Lake is one of the best bass-fishing lakes in the United States. Then there’s historic Marvel Cave which has one of the largest cave entrance rooms under the continent. Take a traditional cave tour, or if you think you’re brave enough, test your nerves by taking a tour by lantern light.

All of these wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experiences are made all the more special by sharing them with your AIM Family. So please join us May 18-22 for the 2016 AIM Conference in Branson, Missouri.

I’m eighty-four years old, and my doctor says I’m in perfect health. I use two canisters of BarleyLife a month. I look and feel great all because of the barley.

Randall Swartz

AIM Member

Westfield, Indiana

We are happy with all of the

AIM products. When I feel

something coming on, I just

up my intake of BarleyLife

and I'm fine. It works.

Bonnie Wilde AIM Preferred Member Victoria, British ColumbiaI am a caregiver for my husband who had a massive stroke three years ago. I have suffered from exhaustion many, many times. Nothing the naturopath or doctor did for me has even come close to the help of Barley- Life Xtra. Everyone is commenting on the new me. It’s such a wonderful feeling to be able to get through the day with energy to spare, something I have not known for three years. Thanks so much!

Lewis Lackland Jr AIM Preferred Member Loudon, Tennessee

BarleyLife stops my arthritis pain. I used it for a while and then stopped. The pain came back. I ordered more and after taking it again, the pain went away. I love it. It is very good. I will take it till my dying day.

Mary Deniz AIM Director Modesto, California

I have been taking BarleyLife for over twenty-five years, and I’m eighty-nine years old. I’m very healthy and not on any medication. I credit most of my good health to using AIM’s barley grass juice powder.

Avis Boetius

AIM Preferred Member

Lake Worth, Florida

I love BarleyLife and have

nothing but good things

to say about it. My overall

energy level has increased

by taking it. I recently gave

some BarleyLife to my

daughter when she was

feeling sick, and it got her

right back on her feet in

no time.

Testimonials should not be construed as representing results everybody can achieve.

Reflections on BarleyLifeThe lives of an untold number of people have been changed for the better by taking AIM BarleyLife®. This is why The AIM Companies™ greatly values testimonials like those of the following Members who shared their thoughts on AIM’s juice powder of young barley grass.

Our top-tier topical AIM Mag-nificence™ magnesium products—spray, lotion and bath crystals—are getting a more refined look this year. We now offer the finest and finest-looking topical magnesium. We hope that the new labels reflect the relaxation and the health capabilities of Mag-nificence.

If you didn’t know, magnesium helps reduce the production of the stress hormone cortisol. Chronically high levels of cortisol have been associated with all manner of health problems: high blood pressure, a weakened immune system, metabolic syndrome and even reduced libido. But stamping out high levels of cortisol is only one of magnesium’s many functions. Magnesium is essential to over 300 enzymatic reactions. It bolsters the immune system, keeps the muscles and nerves functioning and the heartbeat steady. And remarkably, nearly 80% of Americans are magnesium deficient.

Topical magnesium offers convenience, accuracy and possible skin-care benefits that you may not be able to get through oral magnesium supplementation. With our new labels, the change is merely topical, so if you’re a long-time user of our Mag-nificence products, you can expect the same great results as always. However, unlike our labels, when you supplement with magnesium, you’ll change both inside and out because magnesium is essential for health!

A 4 oz. Mag-nificence magnesium spray will soon replace the larger 9 oz size.



“My dad was admitted to the hospital two and a half weeks ago due to effects from a medication that he was prescribed by the cancer clinic. We almost lost him the day my mom called. His blood work was completely out of whack. He had low hemoglobin, critically low magnesium, high potassium, low sodium, high urea and creatinine which indicated kidney damage. Long story short, he is home and doing so much better.

He has realized the importance of what he puts in his body and has been contemplating how, as he put it, completely “derailed.” Prior to being hospitalized, he was inconsistent with BarleyLife and Mag-nificence usage—two important products. Since home, he has been taking both

consistently. His hemoglobin has come up 10 points since six days ago and magnesium levels are within normal limits—even though we know only 1% of magnesium is in the bloodstream and so blood tests don’t tell you what is going on in the rest of the body. He is soaking his feet in 4-6 scoops of the bath crystals for 30 minutes a day, applying spray, and followed by lotion, he noticed the difference in the way his legs felt immediately! He has color in his cheeks and is feeling better every day. My desire is that people don’t have to get as low as my dad did to initiate change. I hope his story helps others.”

The new LeafGreens formula just got a whole lot healthier with the addition of three new “super” vegetables: arugula, Swiss chard and kale. We removed faba bean and field pea leaves but made sure to replace the kaempferol and quercetin that they supplied. You’ll still be getting a similar zesty taste just with more vitamins, flavanols and phytonutrients packed into every healthier, greener and leafier serving.

Swiss ChardSwiss chard is a

leafy vegetable in the same family as spinach. It

contains significant amounts of vitamins C, E and K, magnesium, manganese, potassium and iron. It’s also a source of chlorophyll, dietary nitrate, alpha-lipoic acid, betalains, beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin.

What’s New? Swiss chard contains thirteen different

types of antioxidants, including kaempferol and syringic acid, a flavonoid that according to a study published in the Journal of Acute Disease helps to stabilize blood sugars.

KalePopular in its own right,

kale is a leafy green or purple cruciferous vege table related to

cauliflower and Brussel sprouts. It is known for its vitamins A, C and K, copper, potassium, iron, manganese, calcium and phosphorus content. It also has lutein, zeaxanthin, quercetin and kaempferol.

What’s New? Kale contains both kaempferol and quercetin.

Kale, along with other cruciferous vegetables, is known for its supply of indoles. According to the National Cancer Institute research has shown that indoles “inhibit the development of cancer in several organs in rats and mice, including the bladder, breast, colon, liver, lung, and stomach.”

Arugula Arugula, also known as

rocket lettuce, is a green cruciferous vegetable. It’s

a good source for vitamins A, C and K, calcium as well as

dietary nitrate, alpha-lipoic acid and chlorophyll. Like broccoli, it contains sulfuraphane and indoles.

What’s New? As a cruciferous vegetable, arugula shares a

lot of redundant properties with broccoli and kale. However, arugula has been noted for its thiocyanate content which was shown to suppress inflammatory mediators in a study published in the aptly named Mediators of Inflammation.

AIM’s Member Leadership Team trialed the new LeafGreens; here are some comments:

“I think this is an awesome choice for those with a sensitive palate who prefer this over BarleyLife!”

“We like the taste and color, and so does our family!”

“We like the idea of getting more greens and add it to our Garden Trio every day. Plus a scoop of CalciAIM.”

We live in an age where everything we buy is also something else. Our phones are cameras. Our watches are computers. You can play games on portable stereo systems, and there are now computers that can be used like books. Two-in-one items might serve double purposes, but neither purpose seems to work half as well.

Luckily in a world of unnecessary com-plications, there is still Just Carrots. Just Carrots is as no-nonsense as its name implies. It says what it is, and it is what it says. When you open up the canister, there are no surprises, no bells, no whistles, just carrots. You might think its old-fashioned, but we believe there is certain strength in simplicity that’s often overlooked these days. Lately, the news about carrots and the carotenoids they contain—alpha- and beta-carotene—have shown how strong that simplicity can be.

First off, a new long-term study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that high concentrations of carotenoids in the blood, specifically alpha- and beta-carotene and lycopene, were linked to an

Product Feature

18-28% reduction in breast cancer risk. Starting in 1989, researchers took the blood samples of over 30,000 women and had them fill out questionnaires to assess their baseline risks for breast cancer. In 2000, more than 18,000 of those women donated blood a second time. And by 2010, 2,188 women had developed breast cancer. Researchers

compared the blood of the afflicted women with blood of women who shared similar baseline risks and found that the women who had the highest amounts of carotenoids in their blood also had an 18-28% lower risk of breast cancer when compared to those with the lowest amount of blood carotenoids. Additionally, this study suggested that high levels of blood carotenoids also reduced tumor severity and recurrence.

Also making the news was a 2014 Dutch study published in Nutrition, Metabolism and

Cardiovascular Diseases. In the paper, researchers found that high

levels of alpha-carotene were associated with a 15% decrease in diabetes risk and that beta-carotene levels were linked to a 22% reduction. Scientists believe that the diminution of this risk comes from the antioxidant effects of the carotenes via a reduction in oxidative stress commonly associated with diabetes. The study followed nearly 40,000 Europeans for ten years. Additionally, only food sources of alpha- and beta-carotene were analyzed.

Just Carrots contains no hoopla, just all the food-sourced alpha- and beta-carotene one needs to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle.

How many of us can actually stay calm and serene in a world that is seemingly more than fifty shades of crazy? Someone should bottle a natural formula that allows us to reach for a state of composure before it’s all too much and we start losing sleep.

Hmm . . . wait a minute. Someone (The AIM Companies™) has already produced an herbal formula that lessens anxiety, calms ragged nerves and helps drift us off to sleep. And it is aptly called AIM Composure®. You can think of it as stress elimination in a bottle.

Stress is a major cause of nervousness, restlessness, anxiety and sleeplessness. It can pop up and knock you down when you least expect it, having a harsh impact on your health in the long-term.

Putting things in perspective is your first step in taking stress by its tension-filled edges and preventing it from overwhelming you. But when you’re in the middle of a stress storm, you can’t always manage to make your way out on your own. You can always reach for Composure.

With its herbal nature, Composure is non-addictive, meaning it’s nothing like the habit-forming medications that turn people into daylight zombies.

Great experiences, ideas and results spring from AIM conferences like the 2014 gathering in Georgia.

It was in Savannah where Joan Van Rensburg engaged and motivated the AIM family with her excitement, knowledge, professionalism and desire to impart what she has learned over the years.

Joan joined AIM back in 1997, and within three years, she became a Chairman’ Club Director, having a passion to serve people by introducing them to life-changing products that help improve their quality of life. The AIM Companies™ gave her the opportunity to become a successful business owner and live the life of her dreams. Joan wants AIM Members to achieve their dreams, too.

After much contemplation and research, Joan became very excited about how she could share her methods for marketing AIM products and the business opportunity with others. As a result, Chrysalis was born.

A chrysalis signifies a transitional state before transformation into a butterfly. Chrysalis became a metaphor for a business plan that transforms the lives of people who follow it.

Joan is passionate about the network marketing concept. No other industry offers you the opportunity and rewards you so richly deserve for helping others succeed.

The fact that the top Networking Companies turn over more than $10 billion annually verifies the MLM business is alive and working well. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel and Joan, together with the support of her husband Chris, have put together simple proven methods in how to master your own business and duplicate it successfully within your teams.

The company, Chrysalis, has now produced three manuals (the first two on business building and the third on products) along with DVDs.

The 4 key points of Chrysalis are:1 Prospecting 2 Presenting 3 Closure and follow up 4 Duplication

“It’s all about teaching for transformation and information for inspiration,” Joan summarized.

The Chrysalis training methods and tools are now being made available and can equip you with simple ways to grow and share your business with others, unleashing your potential and creating momentum for future success.

At the 2015 Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, Joan introduced Chrysalis to the AIM family. People’s lives are already being transformed by her efforts, and the transformation is available to all who embrace the AIM business opportunity.

Testimonial

My story goes back to my late thirties. I felt held captive by a chronic fatigue that I could not shake. I never knew from day to day if I would have energy for even mild physical activities. Even enjoyable things like dancing or raspberry-picking were of-ten too exhausting for me to endure.

My enthusiasm was dimming more and more. I felt anxious or depressed. But thankfully, a very lovely, elderly woman told me about the benefits of AIM’s barley grass powder. A hope was sparked that somehow nutrition could be a significant solution. Twice a day I took it while making changes in my diet. My energy level increased dramatically.

Although I was no longer tired all the time, my fitness level was very low. However, I wasn’t in a place to even consider starting exercise before taking greens like AIM BarleyLife®. A strong desire to be fit began to grow in me, so I bought a book on running and started out. I

called my run the geriatric shuffle because I was ridiculously slow.

But I loved it.

My mood also dramatically improved with running. It was

like I had come out from under a dark cloud into the sunshine

of a brand new day. I

made a wonderful running friend, and we began to challenge ourselves with various kinds of running: hills, sprints, intervals, long runs. It was so much fun. I was so relieved and thankful because the chronic fatigue was just a memory.

When AIM LeafGreens™ came out, I began to take it, noticing an

increase in stamina. My dear friend also took it with wonderful results.

When I was fifty-two, my son showed me video clips of the Tough Mudder and Spartan races, both challenging events for physical fitness and stamina. Silent tears flowed down my cheeks as I watched, longing to be able to participate in such events.

I wanted so much to be successful. I had heard some good things about the benefits of CrossFit, so I excitedly signed up. The overall physical benefits have been huge for me. Not only was I able to finish the Tough Mudder event with no problem, but I can participate in countless physical activities with fun and success.

It is true that you get out of exercise what you put into it. I call this “making deposits in my fitness account.” The workouts are always very demanding, but I like to “make good nutrition deposits.”

I gave AIM Red Rush™ a try after reading some testimonials and immediately ex per-ienced a boost in my workout. I would de-

scribe it as “my engine feels more powerful.” I am able to get a little more done a little

faster without overdoing it.

I am fifty-five now and find it fun and

amazing that I am still growing

and improving.

AIM Turned My Life Around

Testimonials should not be construed as representing

results everybody can achieve.

Shared by Suzanne Atkinson, AIM Group Builder in Mono, Ontario

In the summer of 2011, on a kick to find adventure, they signed up

for the Spartan Beast, a 12-plus-mile race through a series of challenging obstacles in Killington, VT. Think mud pits, barbed-wire crawls, fire-pit leaps and wall climbs. Anything can happen during these kinds of races. But according to Sue the usual damages “are cuts from barbed wire, face-plants in the mud, not stooping low enough under logs and banging our heads, getting shocked, jumping on fire instead of over and clutching onto Taylor for dear life every time there’s a water obstacle!”

During a race, they offer each other inspiration although they don’t run side by side the entire time. If one gets ahead, it motivates the other to kick their game up a notch. That’s not to say they aren’t competitive with each other, but they save that energy for training. Although Taylor is now in college, she keeps up with Sue’s regimen and often adds to it.

Sue says it’s absolutely amazing to compete in races with her daughter. “I love that we can share these crazy adventures together. Taylor has such an incredible work ethic. She realizes that you get what you put in. She’s placed top in her age group at almost every race, obtained a perfect 4.0 in the Honors Program at University of New Hampshire for the past two years all while working at the gym, (where else?) tutoring others in business courses and training for OCR’s (obstacle course races)!”

And Taylor couldn’t be happier to follow in her mother’s footsteps. “My mom is such a huge role model to me! I have really fallen in love with weightlifting as well as obstacle course

Red Rush athletes and AIM Wholesale Members Sue Phillips-Leclerc (shown on right) and Taylor Witkiewicz are a mother-daughter obstacle course racing team from the Northeast. Fitness has always been an integral part of their family. Sue began weight training around the time Taylor was born, and the two of them have hiked the Adirondack Mountains for years and years. Taylor grew up active in youth and high school sports. Before she left for college, the duo did weight training together in the mornings before school.


racing and doing these activities by her side makes them even better! I’m so thankful that my mom introduced me to these sports that have become such an enjoyable and exciting part of my life. I love all the crazy experiences we have been able to share together and can’t wait to see what’s next for our Momma-Daughter Duo. Besides, how could I not want to follow in such awesome footsteps?!”

Both mother and daughter enjoy Red Rush before their races. “We’ve been taking Red Rush prior to any endurance session. We’ve found that it really helps eliminate that lag you feel when you are first starting a run or workout session. It increases blood flow and definitely helps get you going much faster and more efficiently. We really like the fact that its stimulant-free, so no crash.”

Red

RushRed Rush is a pre-workout drink with 500 mg of therapeutic beet juice nitrate. Nitrate supercharges the body with nitric oxide, causing blood vessels to widen. Wider blood vessels mean increased blood flow and enhanced oxygen utilization, resulting in a 10%-16% increase in stamina and performance*.

Endurance athletes have been using beet juice in the Olympics for years, but a strong aerobic system is key to preserving phosphagen (ATP/creatine) and glycolytic energy (anaerobic). This means beet juice can also be utilized for anaerobic activity or sports that require quick bursts of energy like sprinting and for recovery.

Red Rush is made from all-natural, vegan, gluten-free and non-GMO ingredients: water, beets, cherries, lemons, water, and citric acid. It has no artificial stimulants and is free of all WADA sport-prohibited substances.

Rush

For Improved Circulation

Red Rush contains 500 mg of dietary nitrate, a precursor to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is an important signaling agent that causes blood vessels to widen and improves blood flow and circulation. The average American gets 60-120 mg of dietary nitrate a day, but people on the Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension diet consume around 500-660 mg. Red Rush is a convenient, great-tasting way to get your daily dose of dietary nitrate without the mess, hassle and cost of juicing or the wastefulness and expense of obtaining bulk produce. Dietary nitrate is most commonly found in leafy green vegetables. None of them make a very good juice. The most frequent complaint about other commercial beet juices is that they don’t taste very good. Red Rush is flavored with dark sweet cherries and lemon juice to give our product a zesty, exciting taste that even the most sensitive palate can enjoy. Red Rush contains only five all-natural ingredients: water, the concentrates of beets, cherries and lemons and citric acid. Red Rush is vegan, non-GMO, has no preservatives, added sugar or stimulants. So it won’t cause a crash or the anxiety commonly associated with stimulants.

Three Americans won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering that the body uses nitric oxide gas to make blood vessels relax and widen — a finding that could pay off in treatments for heart disease.
