Shared by Carolyn:

Being a Member of the AIM family has been an incredible journey for Jim and I. Little did we know what God had on His agenda for us when a man walked into our Real Estate Office with a jar of green powder over 33 years ago. Our lives abruptly changed. Not only did our health improve, but we also have had the privilege and joy of making a difference in the lives of countless others as we have shared the AIM prod­ucts and business opportunity around the world. When we see great results like other’s health improving, folks maintaining good health, mothers giving birth to healthier babies, etc., we know it has been a great privilege to partner with AIM and take advantage of all that they have to offer.

We have always set a high standard for ourselves in our business lives, and being a partner with AIM has made us proud. Every department at AIM is behind us to offer the ultimate first class in products, service, and leadership. Thank you, AIM, for being our support in a professional, caring way. You provide the tools above and beyond our expectations.

We know this journey with AIM was God’s design for us, and as we grow older, we are still making a difference in our lives, the lives of our family, and those around us. In Partnership for Life is every comfort for us, a secure income and a thriving business that we are sharing and passing on down to our next generation.

Shared by Jim:

It is a great privilege to be able to write to you concerning the partnership that AIM has afforded every Member. Over the years,

Carolyn and I have received so many won­derful benefits from our AIM business that it would be difficult for me to list them all, but I would like to focus on a few.

One of the main ben efits we have en­joyed is the direct help we receive whenever we ask for it. The employees are always

courteous and helpful, which makes the relationship we have with the AIM company a positive one. Also our AIM business has given us the great opportunity to be able to help those who are having health challenges and to meet many wonderful people along the way. And now we enjoy the security of having a retirement income that is several times over what any standard employment might provide.

I wonder if we have not been neglectful in failing to present this tremendous opportunity to everyone we meet? Even more, how can we help to elevate every Member to the Million Dollar Club? I know the owners personally, and it gives me immense personal security to know that we have people leading the company who are dedicated to the Membership and understand what needs to happen to make each Member a success. God Bless AIM and God Bless the owners as they labor to partner with us for life!

MAY 2015 LW Mag.indd 3 3/26/2015 4:39:11 PM

Dixie Shaw, Royal Emerald Director from Gilmer, Texas, knows nutrition. She and her husband Eddie own and operate an online health store where they sell the AIM products alongside other equipment essential to a healthy lifestyle. She discovered AIM shortly after giving birth to one of their children. “I wanted to lose weight and get in shape,” Dixie said. A friend told her to try AIM Herbal Fiberblend®. After using it for a few months, she signed up as a Member.

“I use AIM BarleyLife® often, but Herbal Fiberblend is probably my favorite product. I take it almost every day. We use a lot of the other AIM products: Cell Wellness Restorer™, CalciAIM®, AIMega®, Composure® and CellSparc 360®. Our new favorite product is AIM Red Rush™. We rotate in a lot of the other products when we need them.”

Dixie also knows motherhood. She’s had five children and home­schooled them all. Reading, writing and arithmetic weren’t the only things that she instilled in her kids. She also taught them the value of eating right and healthy living.

“We took BarleyLife nearly every day. We ate healthy and cooked everything from scratch. We ground our own grains and almost never ate out. I taught them everything that I could about nutrition. They’d listen to me talking to clients on the phone. I showed them

how to read food labels at the supermarket. If one of them brought home something like a cake mix full of artificial ingredients, I didn’t like that too well. I’d say ‘We don’t do that here.’ We tried to make everything from scratch. Then you know what goes into your food. Our youngest child just graduated chef school and became a chef.”

Today, Dixie and Eddie’s children are all grown. The oldest is thirty­three and

the youngest—a fan of dry BarleyLife while growing up—is twenty­one years old, each one of them married. They all remember AIM conferences fondly. The first conference they attended as a family was in Phoenix, and the whole

clan even journeyed all the way to Hawaii. The Utah conference was the final AIM­related trip the Shaws made together.

“My kids were almost never sick. Little kids are sick all the time, but ours just weren’t. We hardly have anyone sick in our family. That’s probably our greatest AIM success story. After using the products for twenty years, we are still healthy. We look about ten years younger than our actual ages. That’s something I’ve noticed about a lot of AIM Members. I think it’s the anti-aging effects of the products. I love that.”

Product Feature

When you read the AIM BarleyLife® label, you may notice its startling simplicity:

That’s right, only three ingredients. Because this is all you need to get the finest concentrated greens in the world. Yes, the world!

There are other not­so­green products in the marketplace that contain everything but the kitchen sink in terms of added ingredients, including medicinal herbs that are often contraindicated when taken with medicine. This complicates the simplicity and purpose of concentrated greens meant to be taken regularly on a daily basis.

This is why AIM keeps BarleyLife simple. The fact is you won’t find more jam­packed nutrients than what is found in the number one ingredient. The juice powder of young barley plants delivers an amazing array of natural vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, antioxidants, phytonutrients and enzymes that can be taken daily to promote optimal health. Added to this nutritious wealth is a small amount of whole kelp powder and brown rice oligodextrin to complete the incredibly effective BarleyLife formula.

Sourced in the wild near Iceland from the Atlantic Ocean, kelp offers vitamin­ and mineral­dense food that blends perfectly

with barley grass juice. Kelp also provides an essential element for the production of thyroid hormones: iodine, which you only get from dietary intake.

Brown rice has always been a part of the BarleyLife formula, adding even

more whole­food nutrients to the mix. By functioning as a buffer between the nutrient molecules and enzymes, oligodextrin ensures the presence of enzymatic activity when you take BarleyLife.

And with barley grass juice powder at the forefront of the formula, BarleyLife delivers the alkalizing and anti-inflamma - tory functions of natural greens. These properties give you two key benefits that are essential for preventing the onset of disease, maintaining an alkaline body pH and controlling inflammation. BarleyLife simplicity works!

Think about all the things you need to stay healthy. Then ask yourself if you are taking the AIM Daily Essentials: greens, fiber and essential fatty acids. You don’t have to gamble with your health when you get sufficient amounts in your dietary intake.

Essential Greens The supreme nutrition that AIM is able to extract from barley grass has created the finest of

greens in the form of a juice powder. Getting enough greens is a universal recommendation for good health, and AIM BarleyLife® makes this easy.

In March 2013, research* conducted at Australia’s Walter and Eliza Hall Institute revealed even more important reasons for having greens in your daily food intake. Dietary greens stimulate the T­bet gene to produce a recently discovered type of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), an immune cell population that is essential for intestinal health. Found in the lining of the digestive system, ILCs have a pivotal role in the control of obesity, food allergies and inflammatory diseases and defend the body against unhealthy bacteria in the intestine. These protective cells may even prevent bowel cancers from developing. So eat your vegetables and supplement with BarleyLife to boost your immune system with essential greens on a daily basis.

Essential Fiber Having a high intake of fiber slows down digestion, cleanses the small

and large intestines and promotes effective elimination of toxins and waste. The long list of fiber benefits also includes lowering blood sugar levels, reducing cholesterol, promoting weight loss and decreasing the risk of heart disease or stroke. So make sure you get enough fiber by supplementing AIM Herbal Fiberblend® or AIM fit ’n fiber™ daily.

Most adults do not get the recommended 21 to 38 grams of daily dietary fiber. Much of the standard North American diet comes from processed food, and that means healthy fiber is usually removed from this “refined” nutrition. AIM has an antidote: “fine” nutrition that includes essential fiber from Herbal Fiberblend and fit ’n fiber.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)Even though the words “fatty” and “acids” may seem off­putting, the

key word is essential because your body requires omega­3 and ­6 fatty acids as much as plants need the sun. It is essential that they come from your diet. For as productive as your body is, it cannot make these healthy fats. You get a properly balanced ratio of EFAs in AIMega® from organic seed oils.

The presence of EFAs in your body on a daily basis ensures healthy cell membranes and maintains their optimal functioning. And this is just the cellular beginning of EFA benefits. Playing a vital role in hormone production, neurological functioning, inflammatory regulation, disease prevention and so much more, EFAs are crucial for maintaining good health. In other words, you cannot live well in your body without essential fatty acids, so take AIMega daily. It’s essential!

We are so thankful for reaching the goal of Star Sapphire Director in February 2015. What a blessing it is, and we want to give thanks first to our Lord, Jesus Christ, for this blessing and the blessing of being associated with such a great company like AIM that provides quality products to enhance life and health! So many companies out there are focused just on making a profit and growing as large as they can but not AIM! In such a thoughtful way, the company was established to share the profits with the Members, and they provide the tools to help us be successful! Thank you, AIM!!!

The AIM Academy is a most beneficial tool to further an AIM business. Whether you are just starting or are a part of the Million Dollar Club, I believe EVERYONE must complete the AIM Academy which educates you about the products, gives sales strat egies, encouragement and has steps to improve your business. I found the Academy enjoyable and fun!

When growing an AIM business, everyone has to find what works for them and we found the Nutrition That Works! testimony book works well for us! We use it instead of a typical business card for most situations and have had many people calling and asking for more information because they read a testimony in the book that they could relate to! It’s important to stay in contact with your downline so they know you are available to assist them. We do this by sending a welcome letter with more information and sometimes we include the book Cleansing the Colon for a Happy and Healthy You by Teresa Schumacher or, if applicable, the Candida book by the same author. It is said, “A truly successful person duplicates themselves many times.” By helping your downline be successful, you become successful, too!

AIM events are encouraging to attend and so full of great information! I know we never would

have been able to succeed to this point without people like Joan van Rensburg who presented so beautifully on hormones at the Ohio BarleyLife Conference, and I learned so much about Renewed Balance. Ralph Peterson has been such an encouragement. From Dr. John Shewfelt, I have gleaned so much information over the years, and Phillip Jermann endured all my difficult questions each time we met! Charlotte Thompson, our direct upline, has taught me all of the above and encouraged us all along the way!

Nathan became a Member in September 1997. After he and Joy married, she joined Nathan in the AIM Membership in March 2010. They became Directors in November 2010. They have 180 members in their downline.

The 2015 AIM Conference boasts an amazing group of Member experts, including celebrity AIM Member and sponsored athlete Lew Hollander. It’s going to be a conference to remember.

the Doubletree Resort by Hilton, the Fashion Square Mall is one of the largest shopping complexes in the country, touting over 250 individual vendors. This distinct shopping experience is miles apart from shopping in your hometown mall. You’ll find unique designer brands and elegant dining in one of Arizona’s top visitor locations.

Old Town/Old WestIf you prefer something more rustic, visit

Old Town, less than ten minutes away. You’ll find plenty of history there. Visit the Old

The Sights and Sounds of ScottsdaleAdobe Mission and see the gorgeous stained glass windows or head over to the Scottsdale Historical Museum located inside an old timey school house and learn how the settlers tamed the desert.

Downtown / New WestDowntown Scottsdale is where the Old

West meets the New West. If you’re looking to add to your art collection, this is the place to do it. Find your favorite masterpiece in one of one hundred art galleries or stroll the streets any Thursday night from 7­9 during the weekly Downtown Scottsdale ArtWalk. For some leisurely fun, take a trolley or carriage ride while the sun sets.

Dozens of Other OptionsIf shopping, art or history doesn’t fit your

fancy, there are plenty of sightseeing tours, hundreds of golf courses and spas as well as guided jaunts into the sun­touched hills and valleys of the Sonoran desert. Plus, the hotel itself has dozens of fun amenities like a pool, a putting green and a spa.

So join us this June in Scottsdale, Arizona. Come have an adventure during your adventure. We’ll see you for fun in the sun!

Main Feature

Most women reach menopause between the ages of forty­five and fifty­five, marking the culmination of the reproductive years. It is a time that is often associated with a stereotypical variety of symptoms often joked about by both men and women—mostly men because they never have to experience hot flashes in August.

Back in the 1960s, menopause was defined as a deficiency disease by gynecologists, and hormone therapy was the cure. Often referred to as the “change,” “one of nature’s mistakes,” or “a sign of aging,” negative attitudes about that phase of female life blossomed. Such determinations have no reasonable place in the world we live today and should be forever discarded like bell bottom pants.

In reality, this natural transition in a woman’s life is an individual experience. Some women undergo numerous symptoms either physical, psychological or both. However, others experience few or none of the stereotypical menopause symptoms. Whatever the circumstances, it can and should be embraced as a new beginning in a lifetime of experience.

At the same time, if there are some bumps in the road in the form of hot flashes, night sweats and mood swings, there is natural help for both the possible symptoms of menopause and fear of the aging process.

1 RevitaFem®

Herbs can be natural friends to women experiencing menopausal symptoms. AIM RevitaFem provides a potent 8­ingredient combination that helps to balance out­of­whack hormones, calm mood swings, cool hot flashes and deliver tonics for the blood, uterine and urinary tract.

Ageless Women – Make the most of Menopause

It is especially fascinating that some of the herbs offer beneficial estrogen­like effects (e.g., red clover, soy extract, black cohosh, dong quai), preventing estrogen from attaching to cell receptors and causing

damage. Some act as gentle adaptogens that the body uses as needed to help

adapt to and recover from the stress of menopause. For centuries, many of these herbs have been used

individually as medicinals for women. RevitaFem’s botanicals

are made more effective by bringing them together in

one formula.

Ageless Women – Make the most of Menopause(definitely a mood booster), healthy skin and hair growth, weight loss (sometimes difficult during menopause), bone building (estrogen deficiency can cause bone loss) and hormone production (’nuff said).

AIMega’s encapsulated organic seed oils make it easy to get the essential fats a woman needs daily, perhaps even more so in the transitional years leading to blossomed maturity.

3 Proancynol® 2000If menopause is a sign

of getting older, then a strong antioxidant defence against the damaging effects of free radicals can help prevent the signs of aging. Unfortunately, the body produces fewer antioxidants as the years go by. Along with eating a variety of fruit and vegetables, one of the best ways to increase both the number and variety of antioxidants is to take AIM Proancynol 2000.

Each capsule of Proancynol 2000 delivers seven antioxidant­rich ingredients: green tea leaf extract, rosemary leaf extract, grape seed extract, N­acetylcysteine, lycopene, alpha­lipoic acid and selenium. Along with anti­aging benefits, this wealth of antioxidants boosts the immune system throughout stressful changes, and a woman can use all the healthy help she can get.

2 AIMega®

The lignans in flax seed also provide effective estrogen­like effects, so AIMega gives a girl even more natural help at the meno­

pausal stage in her life. The whole truth is

that omega­3 and ­6 essen ­

tial fatty acids (EFAs) are essential throughout a woman’s life. Even though the body cannot make these healthy fats, EFAs are required daily for a myriad of actions, including brain function

Menopause is a natural process, so balance your chemistry naturally to stay healthy and youthful. While each woman is unique and symptoms may seem overwhelming, it is important to remember a solution awaits with experimentation. Along with dietary adjustments, this trio of natural supplements can help you gain control and balance your body chemistry, giving you a fresher, younger perspective for this new beginning in life.

The AIM Academy is open twenty­four hours a day. That means that AIM knowledge is always available to those who seek it. The curriculum is at your fingertips whenever you are ready to study. And you set the pace that will eventually take you to graduation day. No matter your schedule or daily demands of life, you can start, stop and then restart again whenever time allows.

Several AIM Academy graduates have successfully completed their studies in this manner, discovering how it acts like a refresher course, a positive approach for keeping your skills sharpened. The following testimonial is Ingrid Stoetzel’s view on this around­the­clock option at the AIM Academy.

Trying to keep your family healthy is a full-time job. And there is so much good information to remember. In the fall of 2014, I was committed to completing all the AIM Academy courses. By the beginning of November, I was ready for the final exam. Then I was asked to take on another job temporarily. Working at two jobs took up all of my time, and I never did the last test.

In February 2015, I was back to working at a single job. I was afraid I had forgotten everything I learned in the AIM Academy. So, I started all over again. This time, I took notes as well. The second time around wasn’t only a refresher course, it reminded me why my husband, Dave, and I personally use different AIM products.

Dave had been using AIM BarleyLife® and CalciAIM™. After a heart attack, we added AIMega®, AIM RediBeets® and AIM CellSparc 360® to his diet, and he stopped using those nasty heart medications prescribed by the doctor. We knew AIM products are great, but

it’s easy to forget specifically why we take them. This is necessary knowledge when sharing with a potential customer.

While I’m not an aggressive salesperson, I realized I must share the information I’ve learned ... with no shame and without apology. Recently, the number of people around us that are sick and dying is overwhelming, and I may have the answers they need.

Traditionally, after graduating college, an adult could expect to find a nice 40­hour­a­week job and work there until his or her retirement. But in these shifting and uncertain times, that lifestyle paradigm is slowly being phased out. Technology advances so rapidly these days, most major industries are in a constant state of flux. New technologies mean layoffs and staff changes. New industries—like the dot­com bubble for example—can rise and fall in a matter of years. Jobs just don’t have the stability that they used to.

Starting a traditional business like a restaurant has a 90 percent failure rate, unless it’s a franchise business which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars or more in start­up capital. Most people don’t have that kind of dough lying around. These reasons are why dozens of financial and business experts are looking to network marketing as the dynamic, expanding career field of the future.

Ninety percent of people who purchase from network marketing companies do so solely as customers. And the critics of network marketing will then turn around and say “network marketing has a huge failure rate!” But when a customer comes out a brick­and­mortar store with a cart full of products, we don’t call them failures. They are happy customers. Satisfied MLM customers should be regarded the same way. The

The Future of Network Marketing is BRIGHT

remaining ten percent of business builders, who put some time and effort into their businesses, are likely see a good return, and that one percent that strives to make a career out of network marketing, well, turns out that the sky is, indeed, the limit.

We have more good news about the bright future of network marketing that we plan to unveil at the June 17­21 AIM Conference in Scottsdale. We hope to see you there!

Women, you know that keeping your senses about you in a chaotic world is a challenge. It would be great to have supplemental brain power at your fingertips. From the time you’re young enough to collect thoughts right on through the more mature stages of life, you are bombarded with too much information. Time can take a toll on a jam­packed memory. Taking AIM GinkgoSense™ can help a lady to stay smart and sharp in spite of it all.

GingkoSense is about im­ proving circulation through­ out the body, and optimal blood flow is vital for the brain. Your brain is at the center of all body activities, whether thoughtless—bal­ ancing, breathing, digesting, etc.—or thoughtful, such as trying to remember the name of that movie actress starring in that film you enjoyed but can’t remember the title of either.

Your brain is hard at work all the time, even while you sleep so it requires an awful lot of cellular energy, which, of course, comes from your nutritional intake. And it gets to the brain via blood circulation which GinkgoSense enhances with its blend of ginkgo biloba, bilberry, marigold extracts and DHA. It is very important to carefully think about the kind of nutrition you circulate to your brain. Is yours a French­fried, cake­headed, soda­drenched burger brain or a whole­food nourished mind? It makes a huge nutritional dif ference to your control center, let alone the rest of your body.

The main ingredient of the GinkgoSense

formula comes from the leaves

of the ginkgo biloba tree, the

standardized extract of which contributes

a circulatory boost that can improve brain function, memory, con centration, and overall mental clarity. Just what a woman needs in a demanding world.

P.S. You can tell the guys it will work for them just as well.
