Shared by Marlene and David Rawls

It was about eighteen years ago when we listened to a friend of ours raving about a meeting she had attended where they talked about the AIM products as if they were the some kind of a miracle from heaven. By this time in life, we had become old hands at network marketing but couldn’t ever seem to find the right product or a company with ethics that would stand the test of time. Sure, we had made some serious money by our standards, but our trust level for the companies we worked for just wasn’t there.

After we attended a couple of AIM meetings, we decided to give it a go. We enrolled. Short of accepting Christ in our lives, this was without question the wisest thing we’ve ever done. Our life has never been the same, and it has been all for our good.

If you have good news, it must be shared, and the sooner the better. At our earliest opportunity, we went to Ohio and shared our excitement with my sister Charlotte and her husband Keith Thompson. Like any family, they had some health challenges and were willing to see how they might receive some of these benefits. As the slogan says, it’s “Nutrition that works!” Like us, they were not looking for a business; they were looking for something to

change their lives. It was like starting a small fire and they threw gasoline all over it, and the news of AIM and its products spread like

a wildfire in that area and beyond. As for them, they still continue to stoke the flames.

Since that time, we have been able to share these products and their benefits with countless numbers of folk whose lives have been literally changed forever. We have learned that the human body

is a marvelous creation and will respond to and heal itself when given nature’s best foods.

We take no credit for any person being born; however, after Marlene shared some dietary changes along with the AIM products with young ladies who had been married a number of years; they were now able to conceive when they thought it wasn’t possible. For this we give all the credit to our Creator and thank Him for allowing us to be a conduit.

AIM hasn’t made us wealthy, but it sure has made life a lot more comfortable. All one need do is to use the products and share it with others. It will change lives! Then you and your recipient will be able to live out your God-given purpose.

Main Feature

A recent study found that people tended to identify the “seat of their selves” as either residing in their hearts or their brains. And as you may already suspect, people who self-identified as emotional and sympathetic felt their essences resided in their hearts and those who self-identified as logical and rational thought their essences were brain-bound.

What’s most striking about these findings is that the two organs associated with self-identity are the same ones that are most affected by the ravages of the aging process. As we get older, arteries may harden, and our brains can undergo a slow, age-related decline. To say that this is a frightening prospect is an understatement. The good news is that there is AIM BarleyLife. It’s chock-full of vitamins and minerals that benefit both the heart and the brain.

For example, research by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology that looked at nearly 1,000 adults and their eating habits for over a decade found that test subjects who ate one or two servings of leafy green vegetables per day had the mental faculties of someone a decade younger than those who consumed none.

The researchers accredit these health benefits to the vitamin K, lutein, folate and beta-carotene content found in leafy green vegetables. While most of these nutrients have

AIM LifeBarley ®


been linked to cognitive health before, this is the first study in history that looked for both and found a link between vitamin K and brain health. BarleyLife contains 10% of your daily folate needs and 100% of vitamin K.

As far as heart health goes, a study published in April 2015 in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition examined the mortality rates of chronic kidney disease (CKD) sufferers. The most common cause of death for people with CKD is cardiovascular disease due to increased arterial calcification. By analyzing data in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, scientists were able to determine that those CKD patients who consumed adequate amounts of vitamin K were less likely to die and significantly less likely to die from cardiovascular disease. Previous studies have also linked vitamin K to a reduction in arterial calcification.

It doesn’t matter whether you identify with your heart or your brain, drinking BarleyLife is a boon to both. It’s a smart decision that will leave you feeling good.

Don’t Forget the Folate! Folate also plays a big role in heart and brain health. Folate consumption has been linked to lower homocysteine levels, a factor in determining the risk of cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s. Low folate levels have also been linked to depression.

Testimonial

August 2015 5

A Testimony 17 Years in the MakingMy experience with AIM products began with AIM BarleyLife® and AIM Herbal Fi ber-blend®. A friend sent me a jar of BarleyLife after my second stay in the hospital with

pneumonia. At that time I took the gift as an answer to prayer. When I left the hospital, I asked my doctor if there was something I could do to boost my immune system. He looked at me with a blank stare and said a flat out, “no, there was nothing different I could do.” I’m no doctor, but even I knew better than that.

That was 17 years ago, and, ever since, I doubt if I have missed a daily serving of BarleyLife more than once or twice. BarleyLife and Herbal Fiberblend have been the one constant in my health journey over the years. Immediately after getting over pneumonia, I went one year on a strict vegetarian diet and then gradually eased back into what I would call a “better-than-average” diet. Now I would consider myself just a healthy eater with lots of protein and veggies, and yes, I cheat with sweets more often than I should.

This August will be two years since I began CrossFit which led me to try AIM’s ProPeas®, Peak Endurance® and most recently Red Rush™. My favorite is Red Rush, and I could immediately tell a difference in my cardio endurance. Be - lieve me, when you are 45 years old and involved in the intensity that CrossFit demands, you need

A LOT of air/blood pumping through your lungs and body. This morning, we did a workout named “Karen” which is 150 wall-ball shots with a 20 lb. ball at a height of 10 feet. I was able to complete this workout 51 seconds faster than the last time I did it only last June. This is the main reason I was inspired to send you my testimony today.

Last year, I competed in my first CrossFit Open and finished in 2695th place. In the 2015 Open, I finished 315th out of 8,449 men in my age group of 45-49 years old. Only the top 200 Masters athletes move on to the next stage, so I just missed out on that opportunity. Next year my goal is

to definitely make the top 200. This goal is attainable with the right training and nutrition.

I feel my testimony con-cerning AIM products is valuable because of the proven time frame in which I have used the products. I believe the use of AIM products sustained me during my inactive years. I believe BarleyLife also contributes greatly to the fact that I am rarely sore after grueling workouts (most of the younger people cannot believe it). Red Rush greatly enhances my cardio and BarleyLife aids in quick recovery. At our CrossFit Pos-tal in Boone, North Carolina

where I train, they call me the fittest pastor in North Carolina.

This October will mark my 25th year in ministry. I am very grateful for all the Lord has blessed me and my family with.

Thank you, AIM Companies for your wonderful products!

For God’s Glory, Wynn Greer AIM Group Builder, North Carolina

Nutritional Drinks

Cool Greens for the Summer Heat

When you feel you’re melting in the heat of summer, look to AIM greens for something refreshingly nutritious in cold drinks. AIM Barley Life®, AIM BarleyLife® Xtra or AIM CoCoa LeafGreens™ will add a healthy variation to the mix. The following single-serving drinks were individually mixed using an AIM blender bottle for easy liquid measurement and blending convenience.

BarleyLife Twist!8 oz. of water 1 teaspoon of BarleyLife½ lemon (freshly squeezed, pulp and all)*Crushed or shaved ice Shake them all up! Pour into a glass and drink.

Variations • Use more or less BarleyLife depending on

your taste.• For added zest, use sparkling water.• Cut a kiwi or Granny Smith apple into tiny

pieces and put some in the bottom of an empty glass before pouring your drink. Delightful!

* Even though considered acidic, lemons have an alkalizing effect on the body and a twist effect on summer drinks.

BarleyLife Xtra Extra!6 oz. of water 1 teaspoon of BarleyLife1 small ruby red grapefruit (freshly squeezed, pulp and all)**Crushed or shaved ice Shake them all up! Pour into a glass and drink.

Variations • Use more or less BarleyLife Xtra depending

on your taste.• Add small pieces of the leftover grapefruit

(nothing goes to waste) to the shaken drink. Yummy!

**Avoid if on certain medications.

CoCoa LeafGreens Coconut Splash!12 oz. of coconut water 1 teaspoon of CoCoa LeafGreensCrushed or shaved ice Shake them all up! Pour into a glass and drink.

Variations • Add more or less CoCoa LeafGreens

depending on your taste.• Add a raspberry or two.

Tastes differ from one person to another so experiment until you mix yourself the perfect BarleyLife Twist, BarleyLife Xtra Extra or CoCoa LeafGreens Coconut Splash!

Secret TipFor creating new drink recipes,

taste a little bit of whichever powder you are going to use and then imagine a fruit (or other ingredient) that would combine

tastefully with it. It’s a secret that any good chef knows and uses to create

flavor combinations.

AIM Star Sapphire Director Pamella (Pam) Cox lives in a small, Floridian town several dozen miles north of Disney World. She began taking BarleyLife® thirty years ago. As a former smoker, Pam battled cases of walking pneumonia on and off for sixteen years. At the age of forty, Pam began taking BarleyLife daily mixed with juice and hasn’t had walking pneumonia since. She hasn’t even been sick.

“I saw the Janet Pauly testimony videos and learned how her health improved dramatically after taking BarleyLife. I realized that I’d probably be able to keep my immune system up and avoid getting sick by taking it daily myself. Guess what? It worked. Thirty years later, I’m the healthiest seventy-year-old I know. “

Pam doesn’t focus on marketing or recruiting. Instead, she simply shares her testimony with those looking for nutritional solutions to improve their well-being. Additionally, she likes sharing Janet Pauley’s “My Miracle” YouTube® video. She explains how BarleyLife has helped her with her own health and refers people to her personalized AIM website. She recommends that they sign up and buy two jars of BarleyLife Xtra® for an easy start.

“I guess that the people who I talk to about the products and see me or hear my voice, they can’t believe that I’m almost seventy, but then again, I can’t believe it either … tee-hee. I was at the dentist’s office recently and asked the receptionist to guess my age. She

Star Sapphire

Pamella Anne CoxMontverde, Florida

Director Promotion

guessed fifty-two. Wow! Did that make my day! I then told her about BarleyLife Xtra.”

Pam currently takes Bar-leyLife Xtra because she likes the taste and a jar lasts her a good long time, which adds value. She considers the AIM products to be the highest quality health products on the market. She uses AIM’s ProPeas®, CoCoa LeafGreens®, RediBeets®, Just

Carrots®, Herbal Release®, AIMega®, Calci AIM®, CellSparc 360®, PrepZymes® and GingkoSense™ and makes different smoothies from them each day. She is also a fan of Renewed Balance®.

“I will never stop taking BarleyLife Xtra as I plan on being around for a long time, and I enjoy sharing my story with others, especially ones who are my age and have to deal with so many health issues. Maybe they’ll learn how to stay healthy naturally instead of relying on so many pills. I haven’t been sick in over thirty years now. I don’t even get flu shots. I’ve probably been able to stay so healthy for all these years because BarleyLife helps keep the body alkaline and sicknesses may have trouble surviving in such an environment.”

“I hope that after reading my testimonial, you’ll take your BarleyLife everyday like I’ve done and for the rest of your lives. I want you all to have the same results that I’ve been blessed with.”

Congratulations to Ron and Lendy Murray for having promoted to Star Sapphire Directors in April 2015. The Murrays shared their thoughts

on achieving this elite title in the AIM Member Income Plan. The written message is as follows:

Thanks be to Ron and Opal Wright and Dennis and Kay Itami for the opportunity to do this business and to the AIM employees who do an outstanding job in supporting us and our Members.

We appreciate everyone in our downline for everything they do to care for themselves and for sharing the benefits with others. We are grateful for our Members who see the opportunity and want to promote in the business and are willing to do so by helping their Members promote to higher levels of success.

We feel blessed for the life experiences that being AIM Members has provided us.

The better we feel, the more abundantly we experience what life can offer in love, health, wealth and meaningful relationships gained. Something we call The Healthy Self Concept—the commitment to whole-being wellness.

Seeing our adult children and families making healthy choices is also worth being an example for.

This is Ron’s second time in building an AIM business. The first time was to Blue

Director Promotion

Diamond Director (first in Canada). When his wife Nancy passed away, that business was

willed to their daughter Natalie.

Meeting Lendy through AIM meetings, life began again and so did building a new business, believing it is never too late to start again!

Our favorite products are AIM Bar leyLife® and the Mag-nif icence™ mag-ne sium products and now

Red Rush. However, our cupboards are full of all the products, and daily use keeps the smiles alive. Our favorite sales tool is the sample spray bottles filled with Mag-nificence magnesium. Thanks to the Mag-nificence magnesium products and how quickly people get results, it has put enthusiasm back into our business. The difference they have made led people to be open to trying other wonderful AIM products.

We are grateful for the financial blessings that AIM has provided us and all the support through the years. Nothing is more rewarding than being part of of changing people’s lives in meaningful and growthful ways.

Mag-nificenceGood Things Come in Smaller Packages

SAVE the DATE!

We’ve all heard the old saying “good things come in small packages,” and there is a lot of truth to those words. It’s probably why the saying became so famous. However, in fairness, larger good things like boats, mansions and horse ranches aren’t often packaged because it would be so incredibly inconvenient. And it is that inherent inconvenience of larger things that reminds us that small things are good, in part, because they are convenient.

And that’s why we’ve decided to reduce the size or our Mag-nificence® magnesium spray. We’re moving from a 9 oz. bottle to a 4.4 oz. bottle. This will allow Mag-nficence spray users to hold and pump healthy topical magnesium with one hand, making it easier to spray your wrists or other hard-to-reach areas.

Additionally, you can tuck a bottle in your purse or stash one in your gym bag. That way, you’ll always have the benefits of topical magnesium—cardiovascular health, stress and pain relief as well as metabolic and bone health—literally in the palm of your hand. With the reduced size, the price will also get smaller.

DID YOU KNOW?• Nearly 80% of us are

magnesium deficient

• Magnesium regulates over 300 enzymes in the body

• Magnesium reduces the production of cortisol, aka “the stress hormone”

On Saturday, October 17th, AIM will be hosting its fall 2015 AIMing Higher online seminar. Our Healthy Cell Concept speakers were so popular at the 2015 Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona that we’ve decided to hold an encore presentation that you can watch in the comfort of your own living rooms.

Our Member-experts will once again lead exciting presentations on the key tenets of the revamped Healthy Cell Concept: food, exercise, environment, protection and atti-tude. If you didn’t see these awe-inspiring

speakers at Conference or if you did and couldn’t get enough of them, then the AIMing Higher online seminar may be your last chance to watch the presentations that kicked off AIM’s newest health revolution.

Formerly a professional cyclist, Kai’s career as co-captain of the Exergy racing team came to an abrupt halt in 2012 after the front wheel of his bike detached and

he was flung face first into the asphalt. It took months for him to recover, and he wasn’t sure if he’d ride anymore. Kai took up the much safer running for a very short while, but when he got back on a bike, he was hooked all over again.

Founded in 2012, the Mercedes Benz p/b George’s team has accumulated over one hundred podium finishes and six state titles in that relatively short time. Kai credits organization as the key to the team’s success. Cyclists and cycling in general, tend to be individualistic, so when forming his team, Kai wanted to focus on planning, preparation and teamwork while downplaying those individualistic aspects.

“The thing I like about my team is that they all have their own businesses or they’re high-level CEOs. They’re good at cycling because they do everything with the same purpose. When they show up to a race, their bike is clean, adjusted and ready to go. They behave the way you’d imagine adults would behave,” Kai said.

Cycling strategy is deceptively complex and teamwork is of paramount importance. It seems like the strongest guy should win every race, but wind, terrain and psychology all play factors. It’s why you see cyclists riding in formation like migrating birds. They’re drafting. It’s a way to block and manipulate air currents so that the team’s “best” rider, i.e., their sprinter (fast rider) or their climber (good at hills), is fresh for the final stretch. However, sometimes a team will have a strategic or psychological

Preferred Member and Red Rush Athlete Kai Applequist is the director of the Mercedes Benz presented by George’s Cycles bicycle racing team based out of Boise, Idaho. It’s the only elite cycling team in the state, composed solely of cyclists who have achieved the highest amateur rank, a mere notch below pro.


advantage and will break away from the pack or “go on the attack.” That’s exactly how Kai and his team won a race earlier this spring.

“I had three teammates with me, so I attacked and nobody chased me. It was a total psychology thing. The other guys in the group could have tried to pull me back, but they knew that my teammates would have attacked. So they didn’t chase me down,” Kai said.

Another part of their strategy is the good nutrition from AIM products like Red Rush®, Peak Endurance® and ProPeas®. “Red Rush plays a factor in preparation. The guys on the team who don’t normally use supplements have been using it and seeing results, even the old-school guys who bring ham sandwiches on their rides. Red Rush as well as Peak Endurance and ProPeas are integral in having a healthy and balanced nutrition plan. I really like the Peak Endurance. It has a good electrolyte profile as well as the B-vitamins for breaking down those carbohydrates during exercise. ProPeas is a very natural and usable protein for athletes and individuals.”
