A new AIM LeafGreens® highlights AIM’s summer changes
to its product lineup.
LeafGreens has added broccoli sprouts and capsules, in addi-
tion to a lower price. The four-leaf nutrition concentrate now
includes broccoli sprouts, which are loaded with free-radical-
fighting nutrients. With the updated LeafGreens
powder comes the brand new
LeafGreens vegetarian capsules,
available in a 120-count quan-
tity. Plus, improving our process-
ing efficiency has helped to lower
the price. A two-month supply of
LeafGreens powder (5537E) will
sell for $39.00 (previously $56.00) with BVP of 35, and the veg-
etarian capsules (5542E) will sell for $31.00 with BVP of 28.
(See page 23 for bonus savings on LeafGreens in July.)
Look for these products and some minor price adjustments on
other products online or on the AIM price list order form.

In the AIM Opportunity, the pinnacle of
success for AIM Members is becoming
Chairman’s Club Directors. Ken and Lanny
Donald have worked hard to reach this level, and
they continue to build on this achievement by car-
ing about people. With a focus on helping others, they
became successful AIM business builders in addition to
running a busy dental practice. The Donald’s story began
on opposite sides of the world.
Roots and Dental DirectionKen was born in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, and his
family moved to British Columbia when he was a baby.
Originally, Ken had ambitions of becoming an engineer
until an orthodontist suggested that he should consider a
career in dentistry.
Born and raised in
Jakarta, Indonesia, Lanny
moved to Vancouver with
her family in 1964. She
dreamed of being an architect, but her father influenced
the decision to pursue a medical career, and she chose
dentistry.
Ken and Lanny crossed paths at the University of
British Columbia, where they were both enrolled as
students.
Becoming Dentists“We met over a dead cat in a
zoology laboratory,” says Lanny
with laughter in her voice. Ken
was smitten from the start, and
pretending to be a lab instruc-
tor, he asked, “May I help you?”
Fortunately for him, he knew the
answer to her question about the
cat’s anatomy.
Before the lab session ended,
Ken asked her what she was doing
that evening. Lanny told him she
was busy. Ken found out that she
was going to an exclusive event at
the Faculty Club and, to her sur-
prise, he was waiting for her when
she arrived. This was the begin-
ning of their long-term relationship.
Even though Ken decided to study den-
tistry at the University of Washington and Lanny enrolled
at McGill University in Quebec, they remained
connected. While going back and forth
between Washington and his home-
town, Ken would stop on the way to
visit Lanny’s mother and help her
out with chores. This impressed
both her mother and sister, who
thought that he would make a
useful addition to the family. After graduation from their
respective schools, Ken and Lanny were married.
Today, Ken and Lanny work side-by-side in their home-
based dental practice in Surrey, British Columbia.
Health ProblemsThe first time that Lanny tried an AIM barley powder
drink, she decided that it was “yucky.” Not noticing any
difference after taking half a teaspoon, she stopped tak-
ing it after only a few days. Without explanation on proper
usage and the myriad of possible health benefits, she was
at a loss when stress began taking its toll.
“Stress can kill,” exclaims Lanny. Years of caring for
her parents, brother, and sister as they struggled with
illnesses that eventually led to their deaths created an
enormous amount of long-term stress in her life. Lanny’s
health began to fail, worsening to a point where she had
no energy and could barely move, making it impossible to
practice dentistry. The onset of arthritis pulsed constant
pain into her hips and knees, eventually causing her fin-
gers to lock up.

BarleyLife and they soon recognized its ability to help
control infection. In addition, they observed a speedier
recovery when a patient took BarleyLife three to four
days prior to innovative laser surgeries.
The Chairman’s ClubEven though they signed up as AIM Members in 1998,
Lanny did not do anything to build their business until
2002, when she began to suggest AIM products to their
patients when appropriate.
“When people ask where I get my energy, I tell them
about the AIM products. The most effective way to help
someone,” says Lanny, “is to listen to them. Inevitably,
when people see how much you care, it’s easy to explain
how the AIM products can meet their needs.
“Be generous giving out product datasheets. They are
essential to ensuring a better under-
standing of the products and their
benefits.”
Providing a foundation of knowl-
edge that supports the continued use
of AIM products was instrumental in
building their AIM business. Lanny
continued to spread the word by hold-
ing home meetings. Lanny and Ken’s
efforts have paid off both financially
and in the smiles of healthy patients. In October of 2009,
the Donalds were promoted to Chairman’s Club.“Reaching Chairman’s Club was hard work,” says
Lanny, “but then again, everything good requires hard work. We definitely couldn’t have done it without God’s blessing. We love the AIM family atmosphere, and every-one is so willing to help each other, even if we are not in the same business group. We could not have achieved this goal without the quality of the AIM products, the support from the staff of both AIM Canada and the USA, as well as the integrity of the owners.”
If you ask the Donalds what they enjoy doing in their leisure time, their initial reaction is laughter that is quickly followed by the words, “What lei-sure time?” Running a dental practice is incredibly time consuming, and as Lanny explains, “AIM has made us even busier!” Yet even these words are said with a grateful smile on her face.
The above testimonial(s) should not be construed as representing results everybody can achieve.
The AIM AnswerKen and Lanny never give up, and they firmly believe
that God has a plan for every individual, so it was not a
surprise that barley powder reappeared in their lives.
In 1996, Helmut Petrak – a patient coping with mul-
tiple sclerosis – came to see Lanny and was shocked at
the state of her health. Searching for answers on the inter-
net, Helmut discovered barley powder and the benefits of
raw vegetable juice, both of which would help to relieve
his MS symptoms. (Note: Helmut eventually became an
AIM Director and left a legacy for his family.)
“Helmut told me how to effectively use barley pow-
der,” explains Lanny. Within two weeks of taking barley
powder and drinking juiced vegetables, Lanny was able
to work again. Her pain had gone away, and her fingers
had unlocked.
Initially Ken and their children were
skeptical about the benefits of the “green
stuff,” but they could not ignore the posi-
tive changes in Lanny’s health. Over
time, the entire Donald family became
believers and regular users of AIM prod-
ucts. All four of their children – Anitra,
Erik, Kalina, and Jensina – are now AIM
Directors.
Teeth and AIMOver time, natural health products became a part
of their treatment for patients, and without even try-
ing, their AIM business evolved over a timely series of
circumstances.
In August of 2002, the first opportunity to share AIM
BarleyLife® with a patient arrived in a small package. One
afternoon, a mother brought in her four-year-old daughter,
who was suffering from two abscessed teeth. Due to the
extent of the infection, the little girl’s face was so swol-
len that she could not open her mouth. In order to reduce
the swelling before seeing a pedodontist, Lanny gave the
girl’s mother a prescription for antibiotics along with a
canister of AIM BarleyLife. However, the woman never
filled the prescription. After two days of taking only
BarleyLife, the girl was no longer in pain, and the swell-
ing had subsided.
A month later, Lanny got the same results for a
60-year-old patient with two abscessed teeth. These suc-
cesses motivated the Donalds to investigate the power of

LeafGreensAIMLeaf

ith a new price and a new
ingredient, the deluxe green
nutrition of AIM LeafGreens® has never
been better.
A nutrient-dense leaf concentrate, the
original LeafGreens packed in vitamins,
minerals, and antioxidants sold for $56.00
per canister. The new LeafGreens canis-
ter sells for $39.00 – a savings of $17.00.
Plus it’s a two-month supply!
And that’s not the only change.
LeafGreens’ four-leaf green nutrition is
making room for a fifth: broccoli sprouts.
Packed with immune-boosting nutrients,
broccoli works hand-in-hand with the
nutrient-rich leaf powders of spinach, field
pea, faba bean, and barley. The unique
blend of leaves and sprouts is the only
product of its kind on the market. And
with broccoli in the bunch, LeafGreens is
more power-packed than ever.
In addition to the added ingredient,
LeafGreens with broccoli has debuted in
capsule form. The new LeafGreens blend
is now available in powder or vegetarian
capsules.
LeafGreens nutrition has been a favor-
ite of AIM Members since it debuted in
2008 thanks to a formula that is high in
iron, vitamin A, and a number of vita-
mins and minerals.
Preferred Member Tanja Tulak of Tappen, British Columbia, Canada, noticed a remarkable improvement when she started on
LeafGreens.
“I have a neat story to share about my iron levels increasing, and
I’m sure it’s because of taking the LeafGreens.
“After giving birth to my fifth child, my iron levels dropped very low, all the way to nine (Note: 11 – 32 µmol/L is normal.). I started taking one teaspoon of LeafGreens per day. Over the next year, my body went through a lot of stress, including a miscarriage. However, I have not only maintained my iron, but it improved to 19
in only four months of taking the LeafGreens.“I think that going from nine to 19 in four months
is a miracle because in all the years of trying iron supplements – as repeatedly suggested by my doc-
tors – they did not work. LeafGreens did.”LeafGreens’ benefits should only be better now that broccoli sprouts
have been added to the product. As one of the most highly nutritious
vegetables, broccoli is part of a balanced, vegetable diet.
One of broccoli’s chief attributes is sulforaphane. A phytonutrient, sul-
foraphane has anticancer, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial properties, and
it is most commonly found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli. The
cruciferous name translates to “cross-bearing” and refers to the four-
petaled flowers in a cross shape that distinguish this vegetable family.
Among cruciferous vegetables, the broccoli sprouts (Brassica oleracea)
used in LeafGreens contain the highest concentration of sulforaphane.
What’s more is that by using sprouts in the LeafGreens blend, AIM is able
to provide more than 65 times the amount of sulforaphane by weight than
what is found in mature broccoli. That makes for a significant difference.
With many positive nutritional benefits, sul-
foraphane has been the topic of

much research, as scientists and biologists have studied
its ability to lower inflammatory response and improve
cardiovascular health among other benefits. The following
four studies just scratch the surface on the research done
on this highly healthy nutrient:
Study No. 1: Oregon State researchers discovered
that sulforaphane has strong anti-cancer properties. The
study, done in conjunction with research on the positive
effects of healthy nutrition on prostate cancer, found that
broccoli may have the same effect as some cancer-inhibit-
ing drugs thanks to the inclusion of sulforaphane.
Study No. 2: A 2010 UCLA study found that sul-
foraphane can help restore the immune system by switch-
ing on antioxidant genes and enzymes, which can combat
free radicals. Oxidative stress from free radicals can wear
down an immune system over time and can lead to dam-
aged cells, disease, and cancer. The benefits of sulforaphane
are vitally important for reinvigorating the immune system
to withstand free radical damage and reverse the effects
of aging.
Study No. 3: A study published in
2009 found that oral consumption of
sulforaphane reduced inflammation
in human airways by increasing natu-
rally occurring enzymes in the body.
Study No. 4: Researchers found
that cruciferous vegetables such as broc-
coli support liver detoxification and reduce cancer risk
thanks to phytochemicals.
One serving of LeafGreens powder or capsules provides
the recommended 200 to 400 µg of sulforaphane daily.
Broccoli joins a powerful leaf lineup of nutritious plants,
each of which carries its own stellar nutritional benefits.
Spinach contributes vitamin A, which can support vision,
healthy skin, hair, and tissues. Faba bean contains quer-
cetin, a natural anti-inflammatory. Field pea provides
kaempferol, which has loads of benefits for heart health
and blood flow. And barley’s benefits are well-known –
the most nutritious plant on earth and a complete source
of nutrition.
Group Builder Bertha Wiebe of Linden, Alberta, Canada, has noticed LeafGreens’ positive change on
many different aspects of her everyday life.
“LeafGreens is a very high quality source of
greens for me. I take it at breakfast and at
bedtime. I feel it really keeps up my energy level.
I believe it is helping my eyes and my kidneys and
giving me a general all-around sense of well-being.
Taking it at bedtime helps me to sleep better, and
when I sleep, I don’t have trouble with depression.
That is the best gift of health – no depression!”Adding broccoli sprouts to the LeafGreens blend adds
many bonus benefits to an already great product. And making LeafGreens available in a capsule form as well as
powder should serve to get the unmatched nutrition in the hands of many more people. On the go or on the move, LeafGreens is never far away. Plus, vegetarian capsules make for a great introduction to potential customers who are used to getting nutrition from vitamins.
LeafGreens took leaf nutrition to a whole new level when it originally debuted. And now
it has gone a step further. The addition of broccoli sprouts and the new capsule form make LeafGreens a superfood with super results. If getting enough broccoli in your diet is a challenge, try the LeafGreens way. You’ll be glad you did.

health aid
Foods and their effect on the body chemistryThis list gives an indication of the contribution of various food substances to the acidity or alka-
linity of your body fluids and ultimately to the urine, saliva, and venous blood. Your kidneys help to maintain the neutrality of your body fluids by excreting the excess acid or alkali in the urine.
In general, it is important to eat a diet that contains foods from both categories – ideally 75 percent alkaline and 25 percent acid ash forming foods. Allergic reactions and other forms of stress tend to produce acids in the body. High acidity indicates that more of your foods
should be selected from the alkaline food group.
You can check your urine pH using Litmus paper to find out if your food selection is providing the desired balance. Check urine pH three times a day. A urine pH of between
6.2 in the morning and 7.4 in the afternoon is ideal. This will vary throughout the day depending on the foods you eat, allergic reactions, and stress factors. (This chart is a guideline only.)

Business tip: Edu-
cate yourself regarding
the AIM products and their
benefits by reading datasheets,
taking teleclasses, and sharing tes-
timonies. Be sincerely interested and desire
to help people improve their health, not just to sell them
products.
Other comments: We thank God that He has brought
us this opportunity to be a part of AIM and the AIM fam-
ily. By building a successful AIM business, we have helped
many people to improve the quality of their lives and to
feel better. We have had the opportunity to travel to sev-
eral AIM conventions and have been blessed
to meet so many people that we never
would have met before – people who
are now our friends. We love to
sing the last song at the conven-
tion: ‘In Partnership for Life.’

J.R. Rocks Idaho IceWorld April 10, 2010 • Boise, Idaho
AIM-sponsored speedskater J.R. Celski captivated an audience of 400 during a free community event in Boise, Idaho, in April. J.R. Rocks Idaho IceWorld proved to be
a big hit, providing positive exposure for AIM in the com-munity and creating awareness for charities like the Idaho FoodBank and Idaho Children’s Trust Fund. J.R. and his parents, Directors Bob and Sue Celski from Federal Way, Washington, spoke about the importance of setting and
achieving goals and how J.R.’s Olympic dream became a reality. J.R. skated with a group of young skaters and spent two hours signing autographs afterward.
J.R. and Bob arrived early to enjoy a luncheon held in their honor at the AIM headquarters in Nampa, Idaho.
New York Meeting April 17, 2010 • Jamaica, New York

Beauty comes from within. The same is true about health and age. By the time illness or aging
shows in your physical appearance, the causes have been inside you for some time. Common sense tells you to do whatever possible to protect your body so that it reflects the finest you from the inside out. AIM has the perfect pair of products to help you achieve a healthy, youthful reflection – AIMega® and AIM Proancynol® 2000.
The Beauty in AIMegaOmega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids (EFAs)
are healthy fats that nourish and heal. Your body does not make EFAs, so they must come from your diet on a daily basis. AIMega pro-vides a balanced 2:1 ratio of omega-3 and -6 EFAs from organic seed oils.
Why are essential fatty acids so important? EFAs are one of the main structural components of cell membranes and vital for cell repair, growth, and activity. The overall health of your body is dependent upon their presence in every cell, tis-sue, gland, and organ.
Skin is your body’s largest organ. Dry, wrinkled skin is just one of many indications that you may not be getting enough EFAs. Supplementing with AIMega is like applying an internal cosmetic that helps to make your skin smooth and supple.
But there is so much more! EFAs help to restore your energy, digest your food, transport nutrients, burn fat, balance hormones, and prevent chronic disease. For your optimal health and well-being, take two to three capsules of AIMega twice daily with meals.
The Power in Proancynol 2000The antioxidants in Proancynol 2000 protect
your body from the damaging effects of free radi-cals. Although free radicals are a normal part of your body’s metabolism, too many of them are the major cause of damage to your cell membranes, genetic material, and body tissue.
According to Dr. Richard Passwater, Ph.D., free radicals can result in more than 80 age-related dis-eases, including cancer, heart attack, and stroke. As a researcher of antioxidant nutrients since 1959, Dr.
Passwater made the con-nection between antioxidants and a way of increasing the human lifespan.
Antioxidants are micronutrients that deactivate free radicals, thereby stopping their damage and reducing the effects of aging. In fact, Dr. Richard Cutler, a researcher at National Institutes of Health’s National lnstitute on Aging from 1976-1995, stated: “The amount of antioxidants in your body is directly proportional to how long you will live.”
Seven ingredients in Proancynol 2000 provide a powerhouse of antioxidants that stop free radical damage. Different body systems require different antioxidants, so the greater the variety, the greater the benefits. Effective both individually and together, Proancynol’s team of antioxidants helps to protect against diseases, keep your immune system strong, and slow down the aging process.
The Perfect Pair“Aging first and foremost takes place
internally,” stated Jack Masquelier, Ph.D, who pioneered the extraction of power-ful antioxidants from grape seeds – just one of the seven ingredients in Proancynol 2000.
The anti-aging antioxidants in Proancynol 2000 and the nourishing EFAs in AIMega provide a perfect pair of products that help to maintain your health and keep you looking younger than your years.

Hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings, oh my! If menopause is taking you down a yellow brick road of
discomfort, AIM has natural solutions for supporting hormonal balance.
Menopause … a new beginningwo
men’s health
The AIMega® factorVital for maintaining the health of every
cell in your body, omega-3 and-6 essen-tial fatty acids (EFAs) are healthy, poly-unsaturated fats that also help to balance your hormones the natural way. Without EFAs, it is difficult to balance your body’s chemistry.
Additionally, omega-3 and -6 act as precursors for hormone-like compounds that balance your body’s inflammatory response, which works overtime during menopause. The right amounts of both EFAs in proper ratio can help you get results and assist with other issues associated with menopause, such as weight gain and depression.
The conclusion of a 2005 study conducted at the Unit of Endocrinological Gynecology in
Turin, Italy, indicates that polyunsaturated fatty acids, and in particular omega-3, could reduce hot flashes through their likely influence on neuronal membranes and/or modulation of the neurotransmitter func-tion and the serotoninergic system.
Your body needs EFAs to maintain the health of every system in your body, which in turn helps to ease you through natural changes that occur during menopause. However, EFAs must come from your diet. AIMega provides a balanced 2:1 ratio of omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids derived from organic seed oils. Take 2-3 AIMega softgel capsules twice daily with meals.
Natural Rite of PassageMenopause is not a disease. It is
a natural rite of passage. Lifestyle changes that include stress manage-ment, regular exercise, a whole-food diet, and AIM products, can help you to skip down the yellow brick road in comfort. You deserve the best, so take your RevitaFem and AIMega.

AIM RevitaFem ingredients may help with the following:
AIM RevitaFem®
RevitaFem is a natural, herbal supplement that has been formulated to help women with menopausal symptoms. Along with herbs for addressing specific issues that occur in the female body during meno-pause, RevitaFem contains plant sources of phyto-estrogens, which can help to modulate out-of-balance
estrogen levels. If your estrogen levels are too low, the phytoestro-
gens in RevitaFem can act as substitutes for your fluc-tuating hormones. If your estrogen levels are too high, phytoestrogens can block over-stimulated receptor cells. In doing so, RevitaFem provides natural support without the unwelcome side effects and health risks associated with hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Natural progesterone offers an effective, healthy alternative to hormone replacement therapy with no known side effects. An all-natural way to stabilize the body’s hormone levels, natural progesterone has the same molecular structure as the progesterone pro-
duced by the body, which allows it to safely balance estrogen and progesterone levels.
Though many assume that premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is caused by an overabundance of progesterone, the real culprit is estrogen. Lower levels of progesterone during PMS mean estrogen is dominant and that the two hormones are not in bal-ance. Supplementing with natural progesterone can help restore balance.
AIM’s natural progesterone is derived from the wild yam, and unlike popular wild yam creams, Renewed Balance uses natural progesterone made from the isoflavone diosgenin (plant estrogen) in wild yams so that the body can easily assimilate it. Syn thetic progesterone, often considered the same as natural progesterone, takes natural progesterone conversion one step
Preferred Member Patti Zelsman from Longwood, Florida, is a big supporter of natural progesterone from Renewed Balance after her battle with PMS. Here is Patti’s story.
“I had been having gradually increasing symptoms for the last two to three years. I had swollen, sore breasts, con-stipation, a swollen belly, mood swings, stiffness in all my joints, and sinus headaches among other things.
“I had been to three traditional OB-GYN doctors. Each one said I needed a hysterectomy and was pre-cancerous.
“You can imagine that I was pretty upset. While I was sharing some of my symptoms with the women at my church, one of the women said my symptoms sounded a lot like a friend of her mother’s. She said the friend had read What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause by Dr. John Lee and was now doing fine. Well, I read the book from cover to cover in a couple of nights. As I read the information, I saw myself on every page and felt as if I’d lived the book. I knew immediately that I needed to get ahold of the product Dr. Lee spoke of, which was natural progesterone.
“I went to a local health food store the next day, after I finished the book, only to find twenty or so creams on

the shelf with natural progesterone in them. None of the creams listed the number of milligrams in them, and I was quite frustrated. An older gentleman overheard me discussing this with the cashier. He told me he knew of a natural progesterone cream that had 1,500 milligrams in a two ounce jar. That was exactly the amount I would need. I immediately bought some Renewed Balance cream and began to apply it right away.
“The changes in my body were close to miraculous! Within four days, most of my previous symptoms disap-peared, the swollen breasts went back to normal, the swol-len tummy flattened, the edema in my feet disappeared, and what I had thought was an increasing case of arthritis in my joints left completely. I began to have energy, and my sinus headaches disappeared.
“It has been nine months now, and I feel better than I have felt in the last ten years.
“I should also mention that a sonogram had been taken by the second doctor, and it showed that I had fibroid tumors in my uterus, a cyst on my ovaries, and fibrous tissue in my breasts. Upon examination after about three months of being on Renewed Balance cream, all had disappeared.
“God made all of our parts for a reason, and I am thankful now to still have all of mine thanks to the AIM products.”

Nursing babies benefit from AIM products, too
Our first son Mason was born August 27, 2008,
and at the age of five-and-a-half weeks, he
was featured in the March-April 2009 issue
of AIM’s Living Well magazine. Mason has been
an AIM BarleyLife® baby since conception, and at
nineteen months old, he takes BarleyLife about
two to three times a day mixed in with food or
in water. His favorite is one-half teaspoon of
BarleyLife and one-half teaspoon of AIM Just
Carrots®, combined in six ounces of water. He
eagerly drinks it all down and then does sign lan-
guage for more. He still loves it!
He has never been sick, never been on anti-
biotics, and never even visited a medical doctor
for more than his “well baby check-ups.” When
his teeth came in, which can prove problematic,
he never so much as cried. His digestive system
is very consistent and regular – unlike that of
many children and infants that I have in my chi-
ropractic practice.
Our second son Cooper was born on
February 16, 2010, and he came very fast and
drug-free into this world. As I am nursing
Cooper, he receives BarleyLife Xtra nutrition
through the amount that I take daily. I also give
him a little dry amount of BarleyLife on my fin-
ger. He will start taking BarleyLife when I am no
longer nursing him, just as Mason did.
I took
Barley Life,
Just Carrots,
AIMega®, and
AIM Prep Zymes®
through out my two pregnancies, and both proved
asymptomatic. I had more energy while pregnant with
our second son, so much so that I continued to swim
two kilometers, two to three times a week, up until I
was thirty weeks pregnant. During both pregnancies,
I had minimal weight gain and my body returned to its
pre-pregnancy shape very rapidly. My midwives were
surprised at how fast my body healed and recovered.
I credit my healing and recovery to the AIM
products.
While pregnant both times, I never had a head-
ache, digestive concerns, or any pain that is commonly
associated with pregnancy.
I make chiropractic care and AIM products part
of the continued health care regime for my entire
family.
Thank you, AIM, for our optimal health offered
through the AIM products.

Since the dawn of time, nature has provided all
of our nutritional and medicinal needs. As a woman
matures, these needs become even more important
for maintaining good health and slowing down the
effects of time on her body. AIM GinkgoSense™
provides anti-aging support from nature’s bounty.
The sense of ginkgo
AIM GinkgoSenseOne of nature’s most extensively
researched herbs comes from one of the oldest living tree species – the ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba), which gives GinkgoSense its name. Hundreds of clinical studies have shown that ginkgo biloba leaf extract helps
to improve circulation, memory, vision, and other age-related conditions.
By providing potent antioxidants, ginkgo pro-tects your body against the damaging effects of free radicals. Antioxidants are your best defense against aging, so do not wait to take the necessary steps to protect yourself.
GinkgoSense also provides the anti-aging benefits from bilberry fruit extract, fish oil, and lutein (from marigold flower extract). The synergistic effect of these ingredients creates a more effective natural health product.
Improves circulation Proper blood circulation is essential for carrying oxy-
gen and nutrients to wherever needed in your body. In an average adult, five litres of blood entirely circulate the body at rest in about one minute. In twenty-four hours, this occurs approximately 1,440 times.
As a woman ages, poor circulation can become an issue, particularly for the outer extremities: head, hands, and feet. Exercising on a regular basis con-tributes to healthy blood flow. And supplement-ing with GinkgoSense may provide a natural way to maintain optimal circulation for cardiovascular support and improved blood flow to the brain and eyes for better memory and vision.
Improves memory Poor memory is often associated with aging.
But memory loss does not have to be a part
wo
men’s health

of getting older. Keep mentally active because you are never too old to learn something new or add to your lifetime of knowledge. As for supplemental support, GinkgoSense is the perfect choice.
Ginkgo is commonly used in Europe for memory conditions such as dementia. As well as the benefits of improving blood flow to the brain, studies indicate that ginkgo may reduce the effects of Alzheimer’s disease.
Taking GinkgoSense is a preventative step that may
help to improve and enhance your memory.
Improves vision Sometimes age can bring about a blurry or obstructed
view of the world or the printed page. When it comes to healthy vision, the eyes have it with the support from GingkoSense. Ginkgo, bilberry, fish oil, and lutein may work together to help protect against age-related macu-lar degeneration and cataracts by improving blood flow
to the eyes and protecting against free radical damage.
Improves yearsTime can take its toll. AIM offers natu-
ral health products like GinkgoSense to help women maintain good health throughout a
lifetime. Besides, living well simply makes sense!

When AIM products go to the dogs, good things happen.
Amy Chiang, a customer of Director Shirley Wang from Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, has a pet named Fa-ji who is living proof of BarleyLife’s benefits for creatures big and small.
“I own a four-year-old Chinese bulldog named Fa-ji, which means ‘prosperous.’ Because he has pro-truding eyes and a concave nose, he experiences a lot of tears and dis-charge, a runny nose, foul breath, and smelly ears, and he often has a rash on his face. I have spent quite a bit of money taking him to a veterinarian.
“Then, Shirley introduced me to AIM BarleyLife® and told me that it could help detoxify the body. So I added one teaspoon of BarleyLife to Fa-ji’s food. In two weeks, his symp-toms have improved a lot. He has less tears and discharge, no runny nose, his rash is gone, and even his ears are not smelly. Fa-ji has become very clean and healthy.”
With the dog days of summer upon us, now seems like an appro-priate time to explore the connection between two of man’s best friends:
dogs and AIM products. Much of the nutrition found in AIM products works as well on pets as it does on humans, with whole-food concentrates benefiting both.
BarleyLife is one of the most common pet crossovers since barley grass is a natural, nutritious part of a canine diet. Dogs seem to do great with an extra dose of green grass for a variety of reasons. Many popular store-bought dog foods lack the nutrition that dogs need, so reintroducing the lost vitamins, minerals, and enzymes through barley is a natural solution.
Members have been known to sprinkle teaspoon servings of BarleyLife onto dog food. Researchers and veterinarians have traced barley’s powerful canine powers to chlorophyll, vita-min C, beta carotene, and enzymes.
In particular, enzymes are important for dogs because they aid digestion and absorption of nutrients, many of which go unabsorbed due to the heat process-ing of most foods. A lack of nutrient absorption can lead to many problems, including one of the dog world’s most famous: bad breath. A lack of enzymes is the first step toward disease, so it is vitally important to help replenish your pet’s enzyme count through diet.
In addition to barley grass, other AIM supplements have had a positive effect on dogs’ out-
look over the years. Members have long been using AIM Frame Essentials® for relief of joint pain. Glucosamine, like that found in Frame Essentials, is a standard supplement for veterinary care of arthritic pets. Debby Jansen from Nampa, Idaho, saw Frame Essentials work wonders on her dog Molly.
“I gave some Frame Essentials to Molly since she was so stiff she could hardly walk. I gave her the caps in her mouth – I had to push them to the side of her mouth so she would swallow them – and I saw a loosening of her movements in the next couple of days. She was even able to jump on the couch again, which she was not allowed to do but did it anyway when I was not looking. She was running like a pup again.”

pportunities to
share the health
and wealth message of
AIM can happen when
you least expect them
and in the most unusual
situations. No one knows
this better than AIM Director Larry Warren from Sun City West, Arizona, who had a
flooded condo turn into a recruiting opportunity.
Larry made the most of his chance to share his story of
living well with AIM products, and his willingness to share
led to a new customer for his AIM business.
“My most unusual recruitment of a new AIM customer
involved my daughter’s condo being flooded. She woke up
early one morning thinking that it was raining, but when
she stepped out of bed, the carpet was wet. She soon found
water pouring down the ceiling of her bathroom due to a
water problem in the unit above.
“The bathroom repair was handled by the owner of the
above unit who also agreed to paint the entire interior of her
unit in exchange for my removing and replacing the living
room and bedroom carpets with hardwood.
“The first day I was working on the floor, a painter was
also working. About 3:00 in the afternoon, he said he was
stopping for the day as he was pretty tired. When he came
back the next day, he was surprised to see how much floor
was completed. I mentioned that I had worked until about
7:00 at night.
“This opened the door to a discussion on what I was
doing to be in such good condition at age 73 while he was
struggling at age 45. I told him about the AIM living food
powders and fibers and the amazing recovery I had from a
lifetime of joint and muscle problems. By the time we fin-
ished the project, he was a customer.
“The lesson for me was how important it is to be a good
living example as this is the most credible testimony for
potential customers.”

Plan. Losing sight of the people part of the business can
be crippling. Build your business with networking, com-
munication, and relationships, and you will succeed.
Ignoring the downline. Members that you
sponsor contribute directly to your earnings,
and a failure to invest in these business-builders neg-
atively affects your own business. Make it a point to
educate, support, and guide Members in your downline
and teach them how to use resources that can improve
their business, which in turn will build yours. Without
assistance from the upline, a new Member’s chances of
survival are slim.
Getting lost in the details. Network market-
ing companies are a lot to learn, which is a joy
for some and a burden for others. Don’t forget that the
purpose of MLM is people. Getting sidetracked with
the details may cause you to lose sight of the heart of
network marketing. Focus on the essentials and move
on to the specifics when you can.
The benefits of network marketing far outweigh
the perils, but for those who are susceptible to getting
tripped up along the way, watching out for the above
pitfalls is a necessary exercise. Lean on the help and
expertise of your upline and The AIM Companies™ to
navigate dangerous waters. The reward for doing so is
well worth the effort.
Avoid some MLM pitfalls
There is no
time like the pres-
ent to take part in a network mar-
keting opportunity that is low-risk, high-reward,
and ideally suited to provide additional income during tough
economic times.
Economic downturns provide a unique opportunity for
entrepreneurial growth, particularly in the network market-
ing industry. Consider this: A company like AIM provides
a steady income no matter the economic landscape, as evi-
denced by its 28-year history of on-time payments that have
stayed consistent through many economic ups and downs.
AIM is a constant in the network marketing industry. But
so are the challenges, obstacles, and hurdles that can trip up
or knock out aspiring business-builders. Owning a successful
network marketing business is an accessible goal for everyone,
provided you are aware of the snares standing in your way.
Don’t let your big dreams be derailed by common MLM
pitfalls. Here are six traps to avoid as you build your AIM
business.
Negative speech. Discouraging talk is one of the
number one killers of network marketing businesses.
Be wary of those who tear down your chances at building a
business and having success. AIM has a 28-year track record
of consistency, longevity, quality, and dependability. Over 60
Members have become millionaires through AIM. For every
negative word you hear about your business, there are at least
10 positive reminders that AIM is a business that works.
Rejection. In sales, you can expect to hear “no”
almost nine times out of ten. Eight out of ten is con-
sidered good. Seven out of ten is considered superb. Rejection
is going to happen even if you are remarkably good at what
you do. Recognizing that rejection comes with the territory of
sales and believing that the next person you ask will be that
“yes” is key to surviving a rejection depression.

product testimony
to grow your AIM business during economic downturn
Cancer patient no longer under hospice care after taking the AIM products
Testimony shared by Ron Good, AIM Preferred Member, Goshen, Indiana
I am 69 years of age, and last summer I noticed I had become very tired and began losing weight for no appar-ent reason. When I would eat, I noticed everything had a salty taste. After seeing my doctor who treats my diabe-tes, he sent me to the emergency room. They found my appendix had ruptured six weeks earlier and matter had gone into the gall bladder and caused it to rupture also. I was told I had golf-ball-sized stones floating around.
The surgery for the ruptured appendix and gall blad-der was much more extensive than I thought it would be. The doctor re-moved two lymph nodes that were positive. He also removed about a foot from my colon. A scan also showed a one centimeter spot deep in my liver. The biopsy showed this to also be cancerous.
I had four chemotherapy treat-ments, one every other week. Fortu-nately, I didn’t feel sick or pain from these.
In November I had another scan that showed cancer was everywhere throughout my abdomen. The doctor then wanted to try a different type of chemotherapy. This made me very tired and weak. Before Thanksgiving, I was already confined to a hospital bed. In December, af-ter trying the stronger chemo treatments, the doctor said there was nothing else they could do for me. I was sent home to relax and enjoy whatever time that was left for me. We were told I had a very aggressive cancer and my time was short.
Shortly before Christmas, a hospice nurse started com-ing to our home once or twice a week. Soon afterwards I had a cancer hole appear in my right side and it started to drain. It was about the size of a dime. The hospital doctor told me the cancer had eaten a hole through my side, and it was draining. The hospice nurse would measure the hole each time.
One night I was lying in the hospital bed, and Alvin Beechy (Group Builder from Topeka, Indiana) phoned me. He wanted to know if I would be willing to try AIM BarleyLife® Xtra. He said he had been on it and felt more energy. He wanted to buy my first order for me. I
started on a half teaspoon of Bar-leyLife Xtra, two times a day for about a week, and then I started on AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, AIM fit ’n fiber®, and AIM Composure®. I have increased my amounts to a table-spoon of BarleyLife Xtra three to four times a day and a tablespoon of each of the fiber products two times a day with the added contents of two Composure capsules.
After the first week, I told my wife I felt more energy and my stomach felt different. I told my wife, “I can hardly
lie in this hospital bed any more.” I told her if I keep feeling like this, I am going to start walk-ing. After being in the bed for three months, I had become pretty weak. Soon I started to walk the length of our
house. The nurse continued to come to our home. She would measure the hole in
my side, which had begun to heal and close up. This was a mystery to her.
After the hole in my right side had healed, I went for a scan. The doctor asked, “Where is this hole?” He exam-ined me and pushed on my stomach and nothing hurt at all. He said, “I am utterly shocked.”
He showed me the scan from November that showed the cancer all through my stomach. Then he said, “If I had left you on chemo, I would have killed you.”
The hospice nurse said she had never dismissed anyone from hospice care, but I was their first one. The scans for February and March were both clear of cancer. The doctor said he was totally mystified and had no idea what went on inside of me. As the doctor left the exam room, he turned to me and said, “Keep taking that barley.”
I am no longer under hospice care and can do my driv-ing for the Amish. I will be doing bloodwork every two months and will have another scan in September.
Now I am sharing these wonderful AIM products with others!
This testimonial should not be construed as representing results everybody can achieve.
