2012 has been a year of financial challenges for many people

around the world. Yet The AIM Companies™ remains a beacon of stability in terms of finances and quality—a company that has offered an opportunity to earn an income by providing the finest natural supplements in the marketplace.

To have good health is truly one of life’s greatest gifts. I’m grateful to work for a company that has provided me with incredible, natural health products that allow me to build and maintain my excellent health.

The owners, employees, and Members of AIM recognize that it is a gift to be associated with a company that contributes to good health. For this, we are all grateful.

Judging by the feedback that The AIM Companies receives through daily telephone calls, e-mails, and Facebook postings, as well as during conventions and meetings, countless individuals have expressed sincere gratitude for their health improvements. It is our mission to share this AIM message.

In an effort to find new ways of letting people know about AIM, the first Natural Health Fair was held in Canada this fall. Drawing over 170 attendees, this successful event included businesses in the area working alongside AIM. Local AIM Members appreciated this new approach of interfacing with like-minded vendors for the benefit of the community. As a result, everyone prospers.

Around the world, people are looking for solutions to health problems. AIM has

the solutions.Wishing you a Merry Christmas

and a Happy, Prosperous New Year

Give the

Gift of Health

According to Dr. Li, who has appeared on such programs as Dr. Oz, Martha Stewart, and TED Talks, three of the top cancer-fighting antioxidants are carotenoids, isothiocyanates, and flavonoids.

Carotenoids are a group of more than 600 antioxidants that help give fruits and

vegetables their colors; for example, the beta-carotene in carrots and the

lycopene in tomatoes.

Derived from green, leafy vegetables, isothiocyanates are a 1,000+ group of natural molecules that defend the body by helping cells to produce more antioxidant enzymes

that intercept and destroy free radicals.

Flavonoids are the most common antioxidants with more than 6,000 different

molecules. Most are pigments found in brightly colored foods,

such as cranberries and red cabbage. The body metabolizes

flavonoids into uric acid, which neutralizes the free radicals that

can cause damage to DNA and healthy cells.

And then there is coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), an antioxidant produced by the body but in decreasing levels in people over the age of thirty. Supplementation is an effective way to increase levels of this vital antioxidant that literally sparks the production of cellular energy.

No matter what the season, the more antioxidants, the merrier for your body in terms of disease prevention and anti-aging. Getting a wide variety is important, since each type of antioxidant provides different benefits for the body and works on different body systems.

For the optimal defense of your body, eat an assortment of antioxidant–rich foods. To add even more of Mother Nature’s protective antioxidants, take AIM Proancynol® 2000, AIM BarleyLife®, AIM CellSparc 360®, AIM LeafGreens™, AIM Just Carrots®, AIM RediBeets®, AIM Veggie D™, and AIM CranVerry®+.


Antioxidants are natural, protective molecules that Mother Nature has put into all kinds of foods, including fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, even some oils, and also in the leaves that we use to make beverages ... The way they actually work is they protect our DNA against the type of damage that can be caused by free radicals, which are the harmful chemicals that our bodies absorb from many different sources in the environment—for example, cigarette smoke, or pollution, or fried foods... There are literally thousands of different types of antioxidants.

—Dr. William Li, president of the Angiogenesis Foundation—a non-profit organization dedi- cated to conquering diseases such as cancer

Antioxidants: The More, the Merrier!AIM’s Top Three Antioxidant Products

AIM Proancynol® 2000 As the finest antioxidant product in the

marketplace, AIM Proancynol® 2000 provides seven antioxidant-rich ingredients, including the extracts of green tea, grape seed, and tomato (for lycopene). Increasing the amount and variety of antioxidants in your body is easy with Proancynol 2000.

“I love my Proancynol 2000. It works! I’ve taken it for about eight years. It’s my life insurance. We are living with air pollution nowadays, and it takes a toll on my respiratory system. To me, Proancynol 2000 is like David’s sling shot to Goliath. It goes straight to the problem, and it’s done. “

Sydelle Scales, Preferred MemberChicago, Illinois

AIM BarleyLife®

Along with increasing your energy, reducing inflammation, and balancing your body pH, BarleyLife’s profusion of nutrients include natural antioxidants that protect against free radical damage. The most common free radical, superoxide, is created by all cells as a by-product when producing energy from food molecules. Even though these free radicals are always in the body, they can be easily neutralized by one of BarleyLife’s many powerful antioxidants—the enzyme, superoxide dismutase (SOD).

“There are more health benefits in one spoonful of BarleyLife than any other product. It’s what God led me to when my daughter had terminal cancer and what I gave her when she was so sick. In seven months, she was cancer-free. I will take it the rest of my life. “

Pat Blasingame, Royal Emerald DirectorHouston, Texas

AIM CellSparc 360® No energy can be produced in your cells

without coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), and AIM CellSparc 360® delivers CoQ10 in a synergistic formula that also includes fish oil and tocotrienols (for vitamin E—another antioxidant). CoQ10 is an antioxidant by nature, freely giving up electrons to neutralize free radicals.

“I take CellSparc 360 daily—one in the morning and one at noon. It helps with energy, especially at the mid-day slump. Since I work full-time as an occupational therapist, I need to keep my energy up to provide good therapy for my patients. Several of the young therapists have commented that they cannot believe I am thirty years older than they are and that I move faster than they do.”

Nancy Kipp, Director Littleton, Colorado

Product Feature

Shorter days and winter weather lead to a lack of sunshine in our lives—sunshine that encourages vital vitamin D production in our bodies. Without vitamin D, the body becomes susceptible to infection, a weakened immune system, depression, and many more ailments.

In North America, 77 percent of the population are vitamin D deficient. In general, most people spend only 10 percent of their time outdoors, which is not adequate for the body’s vitamin D needs. No matter where you live, vitamin D deficiency is an issue.

To get ahead of this problem, you may choose foods that are naturally rich in vitamin D, like fatty fish (e.g., salmon and tuna). However, a two-capsule serving of Veggie D provides over twice the vitamin D content of a serving of salmon. And who can eat two servings of salmon on a daily basis?

Whole foods like Veggie D ensure that your body gets the vitamin D it needs. Daily intake recommendations vary based on factors like age and current vitamin D levels, but a good guideline to shoot for is a minimum 1,000 International Units (IU) of vitamin D per day. AIM’s vitamin D powder, Veggie D, contains 500 IU per serving in a savory garden blend of mushroom, tomato (for lycopene), and thirteen vegetables.

If you prefer capsules to powder, AIM has you covered. Veggie D 60-count vegetarian capsules, avail able in the US only (5987E, 25 BVP, $28.00), provide the same nutritional benefits as the powder, but with thirty 1,000 IU two-capsule servings. With a convenient two capsules

How to fill your life with

A new vitamin D delivery just in time for winter

per day, you can reverse winter’s hold on your vitamin D deficiency and reclaim the sunshine (and its benefits) in your life.

Why not D3?Veggie D provides a natural vegan source of vitamin D2 that differs from the animal-based synthetic sources most commonly used in mainstream D3 supplements.

Research has shown that the health benefits are identical. D2 is just as efficacious as D3.

A recent study examined the blood serum levels of individuals who consumed a standardized vitamin D mushroom soup in the winter. It showed a 67% increase in vitamin D levels in just five weeks. AIM chose D2 because of our desire for a stable and effective, natural plant source of vitamin D (Veggie D uses shiitake and button mushrooms for its D source). The D2 in Veggie D can significantly increase your vitamin D blood serum levels in the winter when it is needed the most.

As the end of 2012 draws near and finishes off with a season known for a variety of traditional feasts, it’s a good time to consider enzymatic back-up for both improved digestion and overall health. AIM PrepZymes® offers a combination of cultured enzymes, papaya fruit, and alpine wild garlic that helps you digest the food you eat and replenish your body’s supply of enzymes.

Whether eating cheese-laden foods fried or baked in oil during Hanukkah, enjoying the caloric intake of a Christmas dinner, or feasting on southern-inspired and African-influenced dishes for Kwanzaa, PrepZymes can rescue your digestive tract.

Along with digesting food, your body keeps you alive by undergoing an infinite number of chemical reactions. Enzymes make them possible. In fact, the human body has approximately 75,000 enzymes that it depends on to function optimally. However, as we age, our bodies produce fewer enzymes, so it makes sense to make a lifetime habit out of eating fresh foods that contain active enzymes. Supplementing with PrepZymes makes up the difference in making certain that your body is never lacking in enzymes, no matter what the season.

So enjoy the feasts of this season. It’s all part of a wonderful life. And to make things easier on your body now and in the future, take PrepZymes.

Holiday Feasts?

PrepZymes to the Rescue!During a trip to China, I was the only one taking PrepZymes—five capsules, three times a day. I was also the only person who did not get sick. My husband, Ken, had a terrible headache and congestion on the day we visited the Great Wall. I gave him PrepZymes drinks made with eight capsules—three times that day. He slept like a baby that night and awoke the next morning without any cold symptoms. Along with being an aid to digestion, PrepZymes contributes to overall good health.Lanny Donald, Chairman’s Club DirectorSurrey, British Columbia

How thankful I am for PrepZymes. For several years, I have had digestive problems. I’ve taken different things for my constant discomfort and have been to the doctor, but nothing seemed to help. I even had bouts of diarrhea, especially after breakfast. When I took PrepZymes, nearly all of my digestive problems disappeared, almost instantly. I am so thankful for this and other AIM products for as I grow older, I still live a healthy life. Esther Brambila, Group BuilderCibolo, Texas

Natural Health FairSt. Jacobs, Ontario, October 20, 2012

AIM Canada sponsored the very first Natural Health Fair in St. Jacobs, Ontario, this fall to bring the community together by sharing holistic approaches for maintaining good health. Directors Darlene and Kees Vandermey provided invaluable assistance in organizing this event that drew a crowd of over 170 people. AIM Canada succeeded in delivering a stronger message by working alongside eight local businesses offering natural approaches to good health: Perfect Touch Massage Therapy (massage therapist and reflexologist), Cedar Springs Flower Farm (organic fruit and vegetables), Pinnacle Health and Fitness (gym and personal training), Brubacher’s Beeswax Candles and Honey, Grandma’s Gluten-Free Goods, Flowers to Fragrance (natural body products), and Norwex (microfiber cleaning cloths). Each exhibitor donated a door prize, draws for which were held during the three-hour event. Attendees received goodie bags filled with AIM literature, sales tools, and samples, along with single-serving packets of BarleyLife attached to bottled water. Attendees were also treated to brief, natural health presentations, including What is AIM & Natural Health and Caution: This PowerPoint could save your life by Rose Bird, Chartered Herbalist and General Manager of AIM Canada, and Lose Weight the Healthy Way by Dr. John Shewfelt, Chiropractor and Chairman’s Club Director. Darlene Vandermey emceed the fair and also provided a testimonial. After this very successful event, Darlene followed up with exhibitors, whose feedback indicated that they were very pleased with the location, format, and results of the Natural Health Fair.

Athlete

AIM-sponsored athlete J.R. Celski became the first speed skater ever to skate the 500-meter race in under 40 seconds, setting a new world record in the final of a World Cup event in Calgary in October.

J.R. won the event by skating the 500 meters in 39.973 seconds, breaking the previous world record set by Russia’s Vladimir Grigorev in a preliminary race earlier in the competition.

To go along with his gold in the 500 meters, J.R. also won a bronze in the 1,000-meter race.

The World Cup competitions feature the best skaters

in the world and provide a good measuring stick for the competition J.R. may face at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

At the World Cup 2 competition the fol-

low ing weekend in Montreal, J.R. took silver

in the 1,000-meter race and a bronze medal

in the 5,000-meter team relay.

J.R. has relied on AIM nutrition since he was twelve years old (now twenty-two). Prior to winning two bronze medals in the Vancouver Olympic Games, J.R. suffered a career-threatening injury at the Olympic Trials only five months prior to his medal-winning effort in Vancouver. His injury—a deep slice into his leg, following a crash—required surgery, 60 stitches, and time away from training. J.R. credits the AIM products, such as the AIM Garden Trio®, AIMega®, AIM Proancynol® 2000, and AIM LeafGreens™, with helping to speed his recovery.

Two of J.R.’s current favorite products are AIM Peak Endurance® and CalciAIM™.

Joseph and Emma Miller win AIM’s Cash in with AMRs contest

Georgie Smith promotes to Star Sapphire Director

Joseph & Emma Miller promote to Royal Emerald Directors

“Having an AIM business has expanded our horizons,” said Emma Miller.

Joseph and Emma Miller from Dundee, Ohio, have experienced the restorative health benefits of AIM products and have shared those benefits with others, resulting in a successful AIM business and the achievement of becoming Royal Emerald Directors in the AIM Compensation Plan. The secret to success is simple.

“Genuinely care about people,” Emma said. “Listen, and ask questions. Follow up, and always keep learning.”

The Millers have expanded their business through their Amish community in Eastern Ohio and beyond, holding regular meetings outside their local area and following up with her contacts with phone calls and newsletters. Datasheets are their favorite AIM sales tool, and sharing

testimonies—like the ones documented in Chairman’s Club Director Charlotte Thompson’s testimony book—has been effective in growing their organization.

“We are so thankful for the health and energy levels we enjoy as a family,” Emma said. “We have a passion for sharing the message of health and hope with others.

Family is a key component to the Miller’s story with AIM. Emma was diagnosed with infertility in 2004. Once the AIM products were introduced into their lives, Emma

and Joseph were blessed with three healthy children, from two to six years old.

The children are a big part of Emma’s day. In addition to being a mother to three active children, Emma keeps busy as a homemaker. In addition, she does the bookkeeping for Joseph’s farrier business, makes and answers phone calls, and prepares packages to mail out to people.

“We can make a difference in people’s lives by encouraging them to use the AIM products,” Emma said. “I would tell all new Members to start by using the products as recommended for at least three months. Drink enough water, and have a cheerful outlook. People can see an improvement in their health.”


Promotions

Georgie Smith, who recently pro moted to the title of Star Sapphire Director in the

AIM Compensation Plan, came to The AIM Companies on a chance encounter. In the early 90s, her husband Alvin flew to Idaho to attend a convention for a different company. While he was in town, he met Carolyn and Jim Kling.

Carolyn and Jim, Chair man’s Club Directors, signed up Alvin as a Member in October 1993. The following year, Georgie was introduced to the Klings at the Texas BarleyLife Convention, where Carolyn was a speaker. The rest, as they say, is history.

Georgie has continued using and sharing the AIM products after Alvin’s passing in July 2000. She starts every day by taking the AIM Garden Trio®, so this way she knows that she has the vegetables she needs for the day. When she shares with others, she tells them that when you buy fresh vegetables at the store they don’t keep their nutrients and stay fresh. AIM BarleyLife® and the Garden Trio are a good value because these vegetables keep—they don’t lose their nutrients, they are easy to store, and you don’t have to put them in the fridge to keep their freshness.

Georgie, who lives in Yoakum, Texas, con-siders her promotion to Star Sapphire Director a happy surprise. She was blessed at the news of her continuing growth in health and wealth with AIM.

New pricing in effect January 1: USBeginning January 1, six-pack pricing will

“Barley grass has 11 times more calcium than cows milk, 5 times more iron than spinach, and 7 times more Vitamin C and bio-flavonoids than orange juice. It contains significant amounts of Vitamin B12 which is very important in a vegetarian diet. Barley grass juice has anti-viral activities and neutralizes heavy metals such as mercury in the blood.”— Food Matters

Living well in the new year

Make this a year of good healthResolving to lose weight is a New Year’s

tradition. Sticking with the resolution is not. You can follow through on your weight loss goals by making steady, attainable changes to your lifestyle and supplementing with wholesome AIM products like AIM fit ’n fiber® (US) or AIM FibreBalance® (CAN), AIM ProPeas®, and AIM GlucoChrom™.

Fiber and protein will help keep you feeling fuller, longer. Exercise will increase the amount of calories you burn each day. And accountability will ensure that you make good on your goal of a healthy weight.

Put it all together, and you have a weight loss package that will work. And next year you won’t be setting the same goal again.

Start your new year with a healthy resolution.

Healthy weight loss is the way to go LIVING WELL

HEALTH TIP: Avoid fad diets. Slow and steady weight loss is better than crash dieting.

AIM Director Kristine Kosturos with husband Zach and daughter Sophie

Try taking GlucoChrom one hour before your two largest meals.

A serving of ProPeas protein takes four hours to digest, leaving you fuller longer, whereas whey and soy protein supplements are digested up to three times faster, leaving you hungry in just 90 minutes.

We suggest mixing your fiber and ProPeas for a great afternoon snack.
