Shared by Dr. John and Marilyn Shewfelt

I’ll never forget the moment. That first jar of green powder put into my hand by a colleague in the office. It was 1987, and I had no idea what that “green stuff” would do. Twenty-eight years later, Marilyn and I can look back and see huge changes to our health and that of our kids and grandkids. And the friends we have made! We have been a part of growing the AIM family, not only here in Ontario, but literally across North America, the U.K., South Africa, Australia and New Zealand—thousands of people who got their quality of life back and many of whom are still out there sharing and helping others achieve the same thing.

work and steady efforts bring blessings that we never would have contemplated. And they keep on coming!

Zig Ziglar said, “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other peo ple get what they want.” People WANT health. They WANT quality of life. We who are the AIM family HAVE what people want – BarleyLife, Just Carrots, RediBeets, Herbal Fiberblend,

AIMega, and more. We have the joy of seeing lives changed!

Marilyn and I praise God for the way He has prospered this company. All of us who are part of the AIM family are blessed to have the best products and the best tools to help people worldwide to empower their cells and live quality and prosperous lives!

14 James Olmos: It’s All about Family

First of all, I would like to thank all our AIM Partners for Life for their ongoing love, care and prayers since I was involved in an air crash on December 1, 2014. I have been so overwhelmed and humbled by the Members who have joined hands with me from around the world and who are faithfully supporting me during this trying time. I have lost my left eye, and we are still praying that I regain some sight in my right eye. I can now start to see light, shapes and can identify the colors red and green.

I find this significant as the two AIM products that are playing a role in the healing process are AIM BARLEYLIFE®, the life-blood of the plant, and AIM RED RUSH™ which supports oxygen and nourishment to our own human blood. Red is the color of blood, associated with energy and life. Red Rush has been one of AIM’s supplements that we haven’t been able to do without.

The color green signifies growth and also represents life. It is the dominant color in nature and is very restful. BarleyLife will always be the most important supplement we take, and this, coupled with nearly every other AIM product, has played an important part in the healing process that I am going through.

Change is inevitable and tragedy can strike at any time in our lives. Constant change takes place in our personal lives, in our surroundings, in our families and also in our businesses daily. However, what does not change is the way we CHOOSE to address change. And we CHOOSE LIFE – each day brings new LIFE, new opportunities, new dreams, new vision, new goals, new friends and a NEW BEGINNING.

Our journey with AIM started nineteen years ago when Joan had adrenal exhaustion.

She brought home a jar of green barley grass because our family was plagued with ill health. We immediately saw an improvement in all of our lives and we have never looked back! As I supported Joan in her passion for improving the lives of others, we saw our AIM business grow. We were not even knowledgeable about the business plan. We grew to love all the products in AIM’s range, traveled to fifteen AIM Conferences and grew our network internationally.

CHRISTOPHER AND NICOLASOur boys Christopher and

Nicolas traveled with us, and what a privilege we have been afforded to see the world together as a family! Today I am so proud of them, and I am honored to have two adult sons who have stood by me twenty-four hours a day, helping Joan nurse me back to health. They have stood in the gap for me, being my “eyes,” staying by my side as we walk this difficult road together.

BarleyLife is the most important supple-ment we will ever take, and Joan diligently mixed our BarleyLife for us first thing in the morning from day one. Today, although they have both left home, they never start a day without their BarleyLife!

AIM SUPPLEMENTSI often think of the scripture: “Train up a

child in the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it.” I am grateful that today we are a healthy family with strong immune systems. This has stood me in good stead as I honestly believe that because I take practically the WHOLE RANGE OF AIM PRODUCTS; my body was strong and healthy when I had the accident. That meant that I have been able to go through the shock, stress and ongoing trauma without any complications, side effects or infections. Joan has increased my dosages, and although I can’t ‘see’ what she gives me

Chris van Rensburg … My AIM Journey

June 2015 5

Chris van Rensburg … My AIM Journeythree times a day, I know that together with God’s Grace, the products and the AIM Companies™ play a crucial role in my ongoing recovery.

As I reflect back on my AIM journey over the past 18 years, we saw many changes taking place within the company. However, standing tall amidst all the changes, is a Company of thirty-three years – still solid and firm, with the same mission statement, with the same heart of serving the individual, with the same purpose of reaching people around the world with the same high standard of quality products and with the same excellent compensation plan.

My purpose in 2015 is to be able to continue with my work and keep trusting that I will regain sight in my right eye. I would like to see myself independent again as it is so difficult having to depend on my family for absolutely everything. I cannot thank them enough for the way they have been there unconditionally to serve me every step of the way. My wife Joan also has a new vision to put together training, leadership and business materials and raise up new leaders and promote AIM’s mission statement which provides us with access to the highest principles of free enterprise.

I believe in the power and concept of network marketing and would like to support Joan in focusing on growth in 2015. Each Member is actually a business owner and we would like to support others who are interested in pursuing this avenue. We are so grateful that we have a strong, secure AIM business because this has helped support us since December 1 when Joan had to stop working and nurse me around the clock. That is the advantage of a residual income! May AIM grow from strength to strength, as

we forge forward, our mission being “Passion with Purpose” and unleash potential which we haven’t yet tapped into, fulfilling the Purpose to which God has called us in 2015.

Bird strike causes injury and major aircraft damage

In early December 2014, Chris shuttled a pastor and an engineer in a small airplane to a remote location in Botswana to do missionary work. A large flying stork smashed through the windshield of the lightweight Cessna 210. The resulting spray of glass and bird remains struck Chris in the head and chest, leaving him with several injuries as well as blinding him in one eye. One of the passengers managed to get the plane safely on the ground. Chris was then rushed into surgery as quickly as possible.

Chairman’s Club Dir ec tors Mark and Mary-Ann Shearer of Gordon’s Bay in the

Western Cape province of South Africa have not had a doctor bill due to ill health in over thirty years. Prior to that, they suffered from all sorts of ailments: ear infections, allergies, depression, blood pressure issues, etc. When they switched to a plant-based diet and a regimen of daily exercise, their health problems subsided.

In 1991 Mary-Ann was given a canister of AIM’s green barley powder. Mary-Ann didn’t even try it. “Until you bring me scientific evidence not done by the company, I will not look at it,” she said. Over the next eight years, various AIM Members tried to convince Mary-Ann to give the AIM products a chance.

In 1999, Mark spoke with Hermana, a missionary friend who told him that her AIM

income allowed her to do missionary work in Israel. She asked that Mark have Mary-Ann phone Chairman’s Club Director Joan van Rensburg. She did, and Joan visited and brought some independent scientific research with her.

The Shearers tried BarleyLife® out on their family, the staff of their whole-food business and even on the dog and the cat. The lesions caused by sun damage on Mark’s back cleared up. They both had more energy, especially mid-afternoon. The children found that they concentrated better at school and their skin issues disappeared. The staff had some serious detox symptoms at first, but none of them got colds or flus if kept on the BarleyLife.

“What sets AIM apart is that the products have integrity—they actually work every time! The compensation plan is generous and easy to work and the people who head the company are Godly and genuine—there is no hype. You don’t need it when the products change your life!” Mary-Ann said.

Mark and Mary-Ann take the Garden Trio® every morning along with three or four AIMega® capsules. (This blend of omegas

work better than any other, and they’ve tried dozens). They use Red Rush™ almost daily for cycling. Mark takes Frame Essentials® for an old running injury. They add ProPeas® to their morning smoothies when they want vanilla flavor, Para 90® a couple times a year, Composure® for natural pain relief, flying or for trouble sleeping and use Herbal Fiberblend® for digestive issues.

The products that she recommends that everyone takes are the ones that she’s highlighted in her 100 Days to Health Program developed specifically to help her downline grow their businesses: BarleyLife for overall health, AIMega for overall health, especially endocrine function and Herbal Fiberblend for digestive health. Their Five Steps to Health Program has transformed lives in less than three months.


Mary-Ann & Mark Shearer Reach Million Dollar Club Main feature Million Dollar club

June 2015 7


Mary-Ann & Mark Shearer Reach Million Dollar Club “We’ve seen blood pressures and blood sugars

stabilize, cholesterol drop and some serious auto immune issues go into remission.”

Mary-Ann advises that anyone starting out in their AIM Business should “use the products, get to know the products well, do all the training AIM offers and in the meantime, start telling friends what AIM has done for you. Have a plan. For example: Sign one person up each week. Talk to people, but focus on helping them, not on making money! Then find three of the people that you’ve signed up who are motivated and who order regularly and help them build by doing what you have done. Once you have three Directors, focus on the next three people and so on until you have twelve. Make Chairman’s Club your goal and don’t give up. Make sure that you and your team know all the products that AIM has. List ten reasons to use each and highlight the top three. Develop an email database and send regular emails to your downline. Use social media like Facebook, Twitter, etc. to let people know what is new and how the products are helping people.”

Mary-Ann said that she and her husband faced setbacks on their way to making the Million Dollar Club. But when they refocused on the core of why they were in AIM — to help people get well, stay well and earn an income — it motivated them every time.

The Shearer’s built their business by using AIM’s USSBT formula. They say it works well.

Use the products. Share what the products do for us and for others

Share information with people you meet

Sign them up, so they can get a better price

B uild relationships with those people

T each them to do the same

“There are thousands of stories we could tell; over 9,000 people have completed the 100 Days to Health, and although not all have used the AIM products, those that do have the quickest and most dramatic improvements in health. People find that weight drops off, blood pressure is regulated, depression goes, skin improves dramatically, people sleep better and their children seldom if ever get sick. The most dramatic story I can tell you was about a young mother in the UK who was pregnant with her second child when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She started taking BarleyLife and AIMega. Within two weeks, there was a huge improvement and she went into complete remission. She has been well since and gave birth to a healthy child.”

As for the future, the Shearers are working to get their total downline volume to 120,000 in the next year. They only need to get a few more Elite Directors and a few more people in the Chairman’s Club. They also hope to spend more time in the US, working on that leg of their business.

“Make it fun and easy for people to get healthy and stay healthy.”

The first guy says: My prostrate has been keeping me up nights, Bill.

The second guy says: And why are you sharing this with me, Bert?

You’re my friend, and you’re always talking about natural pills or something.

Yes, but they’re natural supplements, not drugs.

The thing is, my doctor told me I have something called BPP or something.

BPH, Bert. Benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Whatever. My prostrate is enlarged.

Prostate.

That’s what I said.

You keep saying prostrate, meaning to lie down stretched out with your face on the ground.

Whatever.

It’s an important difference.

Again, whatever. I keep having to get up in the middle of the night to make my bladder gladder. But I have trouble getting started and dribble at the finish line.

Typical symptoms of BPH.

And these nighttime nature calls keep disturbing my wife and kids.

Not good.

My doctor gave me a prescription for, uh, sinister ride.

Finasteride.

I didn’t buy it cause I heard it has side effects, so I thought of your natural pills.

You need AIM ReAssure® SP.

SP?

Stands for saw palmetto.

Saw what?

It’s one of ReAssure’s four natural ingredients that won’t give you any side effects. I’m taking it and sleeping through the night. No family disturbance.

I never knew.

And now you do.

Product Feature

Ever since The AIM Companies™ introduced the juice powder of barley grass back in 1982, the world as we know it was given the gift of health. Those who have made AIM BarleyLife® a daily part of their nutritional intake know it keeps them strong and healthy. For everyone else, it’s time to get on board the BarleyLife health insurance plan.

The key to BarleyLife’s effectiveness is that it is first and foremost organic in nature, just like people. We are not synthesized in laboratories like so many synthetic supplements, including vitamins, minerals, etc. People are natural and respond exceedingly well to the rich, natural source of nutrients in BarleyLife: vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, antioxidants, phytonutrients and enzymes.

It’s a fact: cattle that graze on grass grow strong and healthy. But people can’t chew on blades of grass and expect the same results. That’s why AIM extracts all of the nutritional wealth from barley grass to make it bioavailable for people in a juice powder. These incredible greens are easily absorbed, providing an unparalleled concentration of natural nutrients for the body to build healthy cells—the foundation of strength and health.

BarleyLife Keeps You Strong and Healthy!

For those who still cannot wrap their minds around drinking grass in a glass, BarleyLife comes in capsules as well. That means there is no excuse for not taking BarleyLife to keep you strong and healthy.

“I have been taking BarleyLife for many years now. At the age of seventy-two, I’m still very active with playing tennis, bik ing and overeating—loving all the good stuff! As a result, I could afford to lose some pounds, and BarleyLife is helping me with weight management. I take the capsules daily, and they have positively affected my health for some time now.

“Every time I get my bloodwork done, it’s always great. My doctor takes a hair follicle sample from me at the same time to analyze and determine if there are any deficiencies. The results always show that I don’t need anything—vitamins, minerals, etc.—because I’m getting everything I need from BarleyLife.”

AIM Natural Health Education DaysAuckland, February 21/

Perth, March 21 New Zealand Members enjoyed meeting in Auckland in February and Perth at Scarborough Beach in March. Presentations included the latest research and findings

on the five components of AIM’s Healthy Cell Concept. Australian AIM Director Nikola Wilkie was the keynote speaker for these events and covered subjects like fiber and gut health.

In Auckland, local speaker and Director Heather Fausett made an AIM Pina Colada Smoothie using AIM ProPeas® and fresh homemade almond milk. Perth Members heard from farmer and Director Rob Hetherington whose presentation on The Power of Food looked at the connection between our soil and health issues.

These Natural Health Education Day meetings are designed to provide an interactive experience for all attendees.

Everyone participated in making their own fiber shakes with AIM products and had the opportunity to share their testimonials and stories about their health and happiness that The AIM Companies™ and its products have provided over the years.

AIM Pina Colada Smoothie• 1 cup homemade almond milk (or milk of choice),

• ½ cup of orange juice,

• Fresh pineapple pieces and

• 1 scoop of AIM ProPeas

Place in high-speed blender and blitz for a few seconds. Note: To make 100ml (3.38 oz) of almond milk grind approximately 12 activated (soaked) almonds with 100ml (3.38 oz) of cold water.

Shared by Dr. Bing-Shuo Chen, An anesthesiologist and pain

physician in Tainan, TaiwanAs a pain physician in

Taiwan, I have seen lots of patients who have suffered from wide varieties of acute and chronic pain. After years of visiting many specialists and trying all kinds of painkillers or other methods, some patients are still deeply devastated by their discomfort, and ultimately become seriously depressed because their pain has affected their physical strength, movement, mood, sleep and even their social life. But the painkillers they are given do not ease their pain to any satisfactory level, and what’s worse, many pain medications, including a few major brand-name prescription drugs, have serious side effects, some of which may even be life threatening.

I was lucky enough to attend a speech on “Nutritional Healing and Health” by Dr. Yu-Shiaw Chen in Tainan, Taiwan in early 2015. When I asked her opinions about the treatment of pain, she introduced the AIM Mag-nificence lotion to me. I knew almost instantly that it would be effective since I have read about the pain-relieving effects of magnesium. But at that time, I wondered what a lotion could do for my patients who have intractable chronic pain.

A week later, I gave it to one of my patients, an 88-year-old lady who had been bedridden with severe lower back pain because of lumbar spine degeneration and senile osteoporosis. Because of her advanced age and a heart problem, surgery was not an option for

her. For several years, I had been trying hard to alleviate her suffering with many medications and some invasive

procedures, but all the drugs combined and the procedures failed to work well on her and caused annoying side effects such as stomach discomfort, nausea, vomiting and constipation. I told her to give the AIM Mag-nificence™ lotion a try as a last resort.

To my great amazement, when she visited me four weeks later, she walked slowly into my office with a quad cane instead of sitting on a wheelchair like before. She could barely control her excitement when she told me about what had happened to her. She said that she had rubbed the lotion on her back every day, and at first it did not feel good because it was too sticky on the skin. But after a week, she began to feel the decrease in the intensity of her pain. So she kept on using the lotion on her back and her feet as well. Her pain virtually decreased day by day, and she began to sit for long hours and walk short distances in the house which had been impossible for years. Eventually, like a miracle, the pain that had tortured her for so many years almost disappeared after four weeks. She and her family were so happy because she was able to move around on her own and could partially take care of herself with some daily activities. They were also happy she could gradually get rid of the drugs.

I would like to thank Dr. Yu-Shiaw Chen, AIM Chairman’s Club Director, for introducing this wonderful product to me and my patients. It really changed my patient’s life. So I would like to recommend it to all of you who have pain problems.

AthleteRed Rush


It is no small surprise that the first obstacle course race that AIM Member and Red Rush Athlete James Olmos ever partici pated in was with his family. Together they braved

a mud run called the Rugged Maniac. Unprepared for what lay ahead, James, his wife and their three sons scaled eight-foot walls and slid down muck-covered slopes while wearing improper shoes and cotton clothing, just having fun and taking snapshots the whole time. Although James still runs races with his wife and children when possible, he has become a lot more competitive. At forty-seven, he finished his first half-marathon in less than two hours and is con-sidering the possibilities of run-ning full marathons and even a 50k.

Although relatively new to AIM, James has long been an advocate of good health and fitness. He instilled those values in his children. “Parents need the balance of exercise, not only to be an encouragement and an example to their children, but exercise relieves stress and gives you the energy needed to raise children. It’s fine to bake cookies with your kids, but going for a walk afterwards teaches them the balance between enjoying treats while maintaining good health,” James said.

All his sons grew up physically active. His oldest son was on the high school track team and was honored as a scholar athlete. His two youngest boys both followed in their mother’s footsteps—a professional ballerina and modern dancer—and joined their high school dance production teams as well as participating in other sports like lacrosse and soccer. Although his boys have grown, they are still conscious of what they eat and are active. James is very proud of them all.

James was first introduced to the AIM products by AIM Director Sean Henry. “I read his Facebook and blog posts on Red Rush®,

and being the curious person that I am, I approached him with questions regarding this magical elixir. Unbeknown to me, he had been reading my Facebook and blog posts about Spartan Race training and events. We ended up having lunch and laughed over the fact that we were both interested in discovering how Red Rush

could support my training and race goals.”

James has always been interested in nutrition. He hasn’t eaten pork or beef in twenty years al-though he regularly enjoys fish and fowl.

Each morning, he wakes up and drinks a full glass of filtered water with two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and AIM RediBeets®. Then he makes a shake that includes ProPeas®, CoCoa LeafGreens®, coconut oil, flaxseed oil, cinnamon, peanut butter, a choice of fruit and almond milk.

“Most athletes are in tune with their bodies. They’re mentally, physically and spiritually aware of changes in their bodies. They’re aware of how slightly tweaking any aspect of their diet, movement or thought can positively or negatively affect their performances. I noticed the positive effects of Red Rush from day one.”

“I noticed the benefits again this year while running the San Diego Half-Marathon. I hit this hill at mile ten, a ‘hill’ that everyone nervously spoke of before the race. Well, I powered up the hill, passing many runners as I made way over the crest. And I felt great at the top!”
