Start planning today for tomorrowA few hundred dollars per month doesn’t sound like much unless you

really need it and don’t have it. If you pay attention to current economics, the price of most everything is heading north, not south. Even here at AIM, we know the feeling. We have had more price increases from vendors and sup-pliers in the past few months than we had in the previous few years.

The key to some personal security from economic challenges is to turn as many hours of the day as possible into income production. But there is a limit to how many hours you can labor and still have a life. However, how about picking up some added income while you sleep or while you are doing your own job? In other words, someone else’s hours subsidizing your income. Welcome to network marketing.

Network marketing companies tend to grow during tougher times because people recognize their disposable income is limited and their options for investing it and growing it are limited. They need an affordable opportunity; that is, something to invest in with a low upfront cost and some potential for a payback based on attracting others to the same idea. Plus, you are your own boss in network marketing. You can’t be laid off or downsized, unless you do it to yourself.

For 26 years The AIM Companies™ has been spreading the dual mes-sage of health and wealth. There are some AIM Members who have made the company’s products and compensation plan their life’s work. And they have plenty to show for it. But more typically, AIM members view the com-pany as part-time. They only have so many extra hours to dedicate to the company. For many, it is only a few hundred dollars or so per month … but wouldn’t you like to have even that amount above what you now earn monthly. Whatever amount of income you now receive from AIM, calculate the effort that went into it and do it again. It is a small investment for the peace of mind involved in having more control over your standard of living. Take steps now to level out the next economic blip in your life. You are your own best safety net.

AIM’s compensation plan is not about getting rich quick. It is about a few hours here, a few hours there each week to allow you the means to purchase the products and make some extra income. Start today for tomorrow. If you wait until tomorrow, it is already the next day and you have nothing to show for it.

AIM family

In the health industry, the old axiom often

holds true: The more things change, the more

they stay the same. That is, nearly every

week a new cure-all is introduced to the market with

great fanfare and hyperbole. These magic potions

don’t usually last too long; their popularity sinks to

the point of never being seen again, eventually finding

themselves among a landfill of “the next best things.”

The AIM Companies™ has been in the business of

improving the quality of lives for more than 26 years.

AIM products have demonstrated safe, effective results

for nearly three decades and the line continues to grow

every year. While misleading claims of how a product can

improve your health will come and go, AIM isn’t inter-

ested in participating. AIM develops quality products that

are consistent with current research, scientific data, and

its Members’ health in mind. This year, AIM is proud

to introduce a one-of-a-kind product with those values at

the forefront: AIM LeafGreens™.

AIM LeafGreens™ is the result of innovative prod-

uct development and cutting-edge technology. Its for-

mula is unlike any other whole-food concentrate found

on the market. AIM LeafGreens™ is a blend of four

nutrient-dense leaves manufactured through ultra-

cold filtration, a process exclusive to AIM. While

other health food companies are searching for one

product to rule them all, AIM gives you AIM

LeafGreens™, one product that gives you more

than enough to rave about.

Before finalizing the AIM LeafGreens™

formula, each type of leaf was evalu-

ated for its specific nutritional

values:

n Spinach leaves are high

in iron, vitamins A and E, and lutein, which protects

against macular degeneration that affects the eyes of 1.2

million Americans over the age of 65.

n Pea leaves contain tyramine, a derivative of the

amino acid tyrosine, which can increase the release

of the neurotransmitters dopamine, epinephrine, and

norepinephrine.

n The levodopa (L-dopa) found in faba bean leaves can

help control the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

L-dopa and the amino acid tyrosine are also important

co-factors in producing the protective melanin pigment

in our skin.

n And last, but definitively not least, is the barley leaf.

Naturally high in protein, vitamin K, minerals, chlo-

rophyll, enzymes, antioxidants, amino acids, and phy-

tochemicals, the barley leaves have health benefits that

cannot be improved upon. However, AIM has combined

them with the three aforementioned leaf sources to cre-

ate a one-of-a-kind leaf juice concentrate.

An amazing 44 pounds of leaves go into a single pound

of AIM LeafGreens™. More leaves, more nutrition. Even

better, the carefully selected variety of leaves in AIM

LeafGreens™ creates a mild, pleasant taste with a rich,

dark green color. An added hint of natural citrus creates

a unique flavor.

To complete the product’s health benefits, AIM

LeafGreens™ taps into the natural abundance of protein

from leaf sources. The products derived from plants – such

as soy, hemp or grains – take their protein from the seed.

This protein supplement dilemma has changed forever and

for the better with the introduction of AIM LeafGreens™ –

the only protein that comes entirely from leaves.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Of the

20 amino acids necessary for proteins, eight are essential

LeafGreensAIMLeaf

™


AIM turns over a new leaf in nutrition


to adults because, unlike plants, human beings do not have

the entire spectrum of enzymes needed for the biosynthe-

sis of the essential eight. Based on the profiles of spinach,

pea, bean, and barley leaves, each different component pro-

vides certain amino acids that the others lack. The result

is a more complete protein containing all the amino acids

and more. For example:

n Chlorophyll, a potent phytonutrient. The nutrient is fat-

soluble, absorbed easily, a natural body builder, heals

wounds by stimulating repair of damaged tissue, inhib-

its growth of bacteria, and has antioxidant and anti-can-

cer attributes.

n Vitamins A, B, E, and K – all plant-based, which

makes them bioavailable (easy

to absorb) unlike synthetic

multi-vitamins. Based on a

2,000-calorie diet, each

6-gram serving of AIM

LeafGreens™ provides

70 percent of the daily

value of vitamin A and

508 percent of vitamin K.

Vitamin A is necessary for

the maintenance and repair of

skin and mucous membranes,

enhances immunity, and helps

prevent eye problems. Vitamin

K is essential for bone formation

and repair. Vitamin K-dependent

proteins are necessary for blood

coagulation, and the nutrient also

promotes healthy liver function.

n High value percent RDI of

minerals: iron (84 percent) – the

primary component of blood, iron

is essential for many enzymes, impor-

tant for growth, and required for a healthy immune

system and energy production. Other values include

chromium (26 percent), manganese (14 percent), cal-

cium (6 percent), and magnesium (4 percent).

To give you an idea of how the nutrient-dense sources

of leaves hold up with other foods, AIM has compared

certain values of AIM LeafGreens™ with the vitamins and

minerals found in popular vegetables. Two teaspoons of

AIM LeafGreens™ has more:

* iron than 18 servings of spinach or 44 servings of

broccoli.

* folic acid than nearly four servings of peas.

* riboflavin than a plate of romaine lettuce (two cups).

* beta carotene than in 12 servings of broccoli or 16

servings of zucchini.

* vitamin K than 14 servings of asparagus or 50 serv-

ings of peas.

AIM LeafGreens™ also leads the way in supporting

your health with antioxidants.

Though oxidation is an integral function in your body, a

negative altering of molecular structure from oxidation has

a harmful effect on it. Antioxidants combat free radical

formation that leads to chain reactions of cellular

damage and disease. AIM uses ORAC (oxy-

gen radical absorbance capacity), a

highly recognized method of

measuring the antioxidant

capacity of foods. One of

the highest ORAC val-

ues is found in the fruit

of the acai palm tree – 185

µmoleTE/g. Wild blueberries

rated 92.6 µmoleTE/g. AIM

LeafGreens™ measured higher

than all three examples at 247

µmoleTE/g. In other words, there

are more antioxidants than even those

foods thought to provide superior antioxi-

dant protection.

The key to creating this unique prod-

uct requires the combination of nature and

technology. AIM LeafGreens™ combines

four types of leaves containing proteins,

vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes,

phytochemicals, amino acids, and antioxidants.

Using ultra-cold filtration, water forces the unwanted/

undesirable components, such as salt and sugar, through

a semi-permeable membrane and separates them from the

remaining rich nutrients. AIM is the only company cur-

rently utilizing this unique process.

AIM LeafGreens™ is an innovative product in terms of

both biology and technology, Turn over a new leaf in your

life by adding AIM LeafGreens™ to your diet and experi-

ence the health and wellness you deserve.

member recognition

Rebecca Liu was 12 years old. She did not know it at the time but watching her father work in his garden in Taiwan would turn out to be a life-

changing event.“I observed my father planting wheat grass in our

garden,” she recalls. “I remember the benefit my father received from juicing the grass. After I immigrated to the United States, I was introduced to AIM’s green bar-ley juice by an AIM Member, Mary Lee. I did not hesitate to try the juice and I became an AIM Member right away.” The lesson about the value of juic-ing grass did not fall far from the tree – like father, like daughter.

At this year’s AIM convention in Norfolk, Virginia, Rebecca and Newman Liu were recog-nized for becoming mem-bers of the Million Dollar Club. It is considered a real mile-stone in the company for a member-ship to realize $1 million in commissions.

“It just happened,” says Rebecca of the accomplish-ment. “We place God first in our daily life, family sec-ond, and career third.” A common thread of successful AIM Members is a desire to help others, and along the way many memberships reap some financial rewards as well. For Rebecca and Newman, “we keep love in our hearts to give to other people.” No doubt that unselfish view has rewarded them with knowing they have aided in the health of others as well as benefiting financially.

Rebecca would like the recognition that comes from being a member of the Million Dollar Club to catalyze her sons, ages 24 and 27, to follow in their parents’ steps. “I want to teach my sons about AIM’s mission and AIM’s products. I want our AIM business to become

our family mission to teach others to eat well and have health from generation to generation.”

The Liu’s live in Irvine, California, in a most unique setting. They reside on the campus of Concordia University, a private Christian college. The college allows such an arrangement even though neither Rebecca nor Newman are faculty or staff. Rebecca feels blessed because “we get to enjoy the whole school facility and

the beautiful campus.”Rebecca has a bachelor’s degree

in English, Newman has a mas-ter’s degree in computer sci-

ence. Both have earned certifications as biofeed-back technicians. But their business life is really about nutritional health, says Rebecca.

“AIM guided me into the field of nutritional health.

New nutraceutical blends of natural ingredients function

like medicine. AIM’s products have a nutraceutical ability to help prevent diseases

and help heal diseases.”While the Liu’s count faith as their first priority, they

do not hesitate to say a kind word about AIM’s own-ers. “Newman and I were once guests of Ron and Opal Wright for eight days,” says Rebecca. “They treated us just like their own family.” Of the other co-owners of the company, Dennis and Kay Itami, Rebecca says she and Newman are “touched by the testimonies about their faith. They give their love to the AIM family. We are all brothers and sisters in this big AIM family.”

“Love God and love others,” Rebecca advises. If you do so, “you will have faith to face your daily challenges.”

It wasn’t a goal of Toni Lund to reach AIM’s Million Dollar Club. “It just happened,” she says. “Money has never been my goal. It is a nice reward though.”A nice reward for more than 20 years with AIM, a fur-

ther recognition for someone who is a Chairman’s Club Director, plus an added bonus of getting to work with her mother, Teresa Schumacher, also an AIM Chairman’s Club Director and the formulator of AIM Herbal Fiberblend®. And the income gives her the opportunity to fulfill a dream of hers. “I have a goal to visit every LDS Temple in the United States. Presently there are 63 Temples and I have been to 28 of them, plus one in South Korea, and two in Hawaii.”

Not every AIM Member counts his or her AIM busi-ness as a primary occupation. Toni does. “Why would I want anything else when I have the best job in the world. I share the AIM products with others and help to improve the quality of their lives. It can’t get any better than that.”

While Teresa was developing the formula that became AIM Herbal Fiberblend® and launched it with AIM, Toni admits she was not a proponent of network marketing,

“but I could see how it would be the best way to share AIM Herbal Fiberblend® with many people quickly. AIM and network marketing have proven to be a blessing in my life. I have made them my career.” In fact, she and her mother collaborated on a book about the product, Cleansing the Body and the Colon for a Happier and Healthier You.

AIM BarleyLife® and AIM Herbal Fiberblend® are the company’s primary products. Toni is a great believer in both of them. She credits AIM BarleyLife® with helping rid her of arthritis pain and relieving fibromyalgia symp-toms. “If I don’t take my AIM BarleyLife®, I will have a flare-up.” Prior to her mother developing the AIM Herbal Fiberblend® formula in 1988, Toni suffered from a severe case of hemorrhoids. She says she was in “excruciating pain, but once I began using AIM Herbal Fiberblend® I have never had another problem.”

Toni is so enamored of the AIM products that she recently took a self-described “leap of faith. I canceled my health insurance. I have never used it and it is getting more expensive as I get older. I am betting on the AIM products to keep me healthy.” In addition to the barley and the fiber products, she takes the AIM Garden Trio®, AIM Proancynol® 2000, AIM Composure®, AIM Para 90®, AIM Herbal Release®, AIM Renewed Balance®, AIM

CellSparc 360®, AIM GinkgoSense™, AIM FloraFood®, and AIM GlucoChrom™.

Mother of five children and grandmother to 13, Toni lives in St. George, Utah, a city of 100,000. Summers are hot, winters are mild. “If you can’t take the heat, get out,” she says.

Toni was honored as a Million Dollar Club inductee at the June convention in Norfolk. The

convention, she says, “is like a family reunion. I get to see old friends and meet new ones. I won’t

retire from AIM. When you enjoy what you do, it is not work.”

“I certainly didn’t plan to revolutionize all medicine by

discovering the world’s first antibiotic, or bacteria killer.

But I guess that was exactly what I did,” said Alexander

Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin.

Those kinds of accidents happen all the time. You start

out with one thing in mind, and something else – often bet-

ter – pops up instead. The Internet, to cite another example,

began as a method to communicate sensitive defense mat-

ters without fear of interception by

the enemy. That idea has evolved

into a revolutionary means of mass

communication.

To bring this home to AIM

Members, our company has long

been interested in developing a

plant-based protein product to

address the deficiencies in our

aging population. At first, soy, rice,

pea, and hemp appeared to be the

logical sources, We later determined that these proteins are

produced from the plant seed, bean, or grain and are typi-

cally deficient in two amino acids, lysine and methionine.

AIM’s barley products have always been harvested before

the development of grain to ensure a superior nutrient-dense

juice powder so we decided to take the same approach to

create a superior plant protein.

We also discovered that most protein concentrates

and isolates were manufactured with harsh acid and base

chemicals that result in denatured or degraded proteins.

We chose ultra-cold filtration as the least damaging, non-

chemical, and cold process to preserve the proteins, amino

acids, and enzymes in AIM LeafGreens™.

Along the way in attempting to develop a product rich

in plant-based protein, we discovered that our process

would allow us to concentrate leaves by 44 times and pro-

tein content by nearly three times. The result, just to cite a

couple of examples: AIM LeafGreens™ contains 28 times

the iron found in a competitor’s product and 18 times that

found in a serving of spinach. The vitamin A content of

AIM LeafGreens™ is more than

three times the amount found in

another competitor’s product and

is equal to about 12 servings of

broccoli. All this with only one

6-gram serving a day of AIM LeafGreens™.

We initially chose faba beans and field peas for their

ability to maintain nitrogen levels in the soil between the

barley and spinach crops in AIM

LeafGreens™. Subsequently, we

discovered that faba bean, pea,

and spinach plants are all excel-

lent sources of the powerful fla-

vonoids, quercetin and kaempferol.

Quercetin is an anti-inflammatory

and is typically paired with com-

parable ingredients like bromelain

in health food stores. Kaempferol

prevents the oxidation of LDL

cholesterol, resulting in the reduction of arterial plaques,

which lead to arteriosclerosis.

ORAC, or Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, is a

way to measure the total antioxidant activity of a food.

Exotic juices like xango, mangosteen, acai, and goji have

adopted the ORAC test as a measure of how to compare

antioxidants. Although the ORAC results are reported by

laboratories per gram, most of the juice products report

their results per serving, bottle, or even liter to get the

highest ORAC score to compete with the competition.

Typical juices report impressive ORAC scores of 30,000

umole TE/liter which equates to 22,500 umole TE/750 mL

bottle. AIM LeafGreens™ contains 247 umole TE/gram or

56,316 umole TE/228 gram bottle. In simple terms, AIM

LeafGreens™ will supply more than twice the ORAC con-

tent of a typical bottle of exotic juice.

AIM LeafGreens™ began as a way to produce a plant-

based protein product. It is now much more. There is noth-

ing like it on the market, nothing like it ever before in

AIM’s product selection.

all is still a few months away. And with fall comes

back-to-school time, bringing challenges for both

kids and adults. Whether it’s academic responsibilities,

social stresses, fighting germs, or getting proper nutrition,

the school year can be hard on kids, parents, and teachers.

AIM offers exceptional products to help you and your fam-

ily rise to the challenge.

If the brain has the nutrition it craves, its ability to learn

and retain information is astounding. With a balanced

supply of vitamins and minerals daily, thought processes

unfold easier and creativity flows. Antioxidants help protect

the brain and the body from free radical damage. Enzymes

are responsible for kick-starting countless essential chemi-

cal reactions, and amino acids are required for continual

cell regeneration. All of these can make a difference in how

a student of any age performs in school.

BarleyLife and LeafGreens are two foods that can

enhance brain and body activity. A serving of these premium

juice powders provides a full spectrum of naturally occur-

ring nutrients including potassium, magnesium, calcium,

sodium, phosphorus, plus many trace minerals. Kids need

minerals to help neurons fire effectively and maximize their

Boost their

back-to-schoolimmune system

thinking potential. They also need minerals to fuel their

activities, whether it is running around on the playground,

physical education, or extra-curricular activities. One trace

mineral, chromium, helps balance blood sugar levels, and

we all think best when our blood sugar is on an even keel.

Another key nutrient is chlorophyll, the lifeblood of the

plant, since it helps promote the natural blood-cleansing

functions of the body, protects and supports healthy cells,

and promotes a strong immune response. Then there are the

B vitamins for neurological function, mood, and memory,

and vitamin C for supporting the adrenal glands.

With its fresh cherry-apple flavor and excellent vitamin

C content, BarleyLife Xtra is a great choice for kids of all

ages. Available in convenient “Nutrition-on-the-Go” single

serving packets, add one daily to your child’s backpack for

a mid-day energizer that will get him or her through a busy

day with flying colors.

Just as the end of summer signals the start of school,

it also ushers in the cold and flu season. AIM’s immune

system supporting products can help minimize downtime

and misery.


Because kids tend to share everything, a trip to the doc-

tor and a prescription antibiotic may be required. Within

days, the child’s health improves as the antibiotic kills off

the illness-causing bacteria. Unfortunately the antibiotic

can also destroy the thousands of good bacteria necessary

for digestion, causing diarrhea, gas, bloating, and even bad

breath. Helping your child’s body rebuild and maintain

the important balance between good and bad bacteria is a

key component to health. FloraFood contains three kinds

of probiotics – L. acidophilus, B. bifidum, and B. longum.

Acidophilus works in the small intestine and the bifido-

bacterium work in the colon. These “friendly” bacteria are

important for helping the body synthesize important vita-

mins, nutrients, and enzymes.

Matthew Day, 16, Peyton, Colorado, understands first-

hand the value of AIM’s products to prevent ailments before they begin and to quicken recovery when a problem occurs:

“My family started using AIM barley juice powder when I was age 1, so I don’t ever remember not tak-ing it. We started using FloraFood when I was about 10 because my mom thought it would work well, along with the barley juice, to help keep us kids from getting sick. I basically took these two products when I was younger because I was told to. But now that I’m older, I see the difference between us and other kids, as far as how often they get sick and we don’t, and I want to take both these products. Seems like other kids are always getting sick, and we rarely do. If we do get sick, we get over it in a fraction of the time that it takes other kids to get over these illnesses. I’m too busy to get sick, so every morning I take my BarleyLife and my FloraFood.”

Antioxidants help protect growing bodies against the

harmful effects of free radicals caused by pollutants, sun-

light, and even exercise. But sometimes the body becomes

taxed to the point that it is no longer able to produce suf-

ficient antioxidants, causing natural defenses to be com-

promised. That’s why kids and adults can benefit from the

combination of seven antioxidants in Proancynol 2000.

Packaged in convenient and easy-to-take softgel capsules,

Proancynol 2000 is a powerful immune system booster for

all the different organs and cells in the body. The compo-

nents actually work synergistically to recycle their antioxi-

dant potential, which provides for enhanced effects against

free radicals.

An understandable action if a child is ill is to take him to a healthcare

professional for treatment and medi-cation. That is exactly what Gary and Debra Pugh did with their son but with less than splendid results. Enter the AIM products.

Debra Pugh, AIM Director, Abernathy, Texas: “Ty had his first asthma attack when he was only age 2. After several days in the hospital, we went home with lots of medication and a nebulizer for treatments. Over the years, we experimented with several different kinds of medications, but some would make him hyper and others would make him lethargic. By the time he was in the third grade, he was having an asthma attack every three weeks and each attack would last for three days. He was also having problems with eczema. After giving Tyler BarleyLife, FloraFood, Proancynol 2000, and AIMega, the eczema and asthma disappeared. He is no longer on medication. Ty loves to play basketball and the AIM products allow him to play an entire game without using his inhaler. He also loves to golf, hunt, and fish. The AIM products allow him to be able to enjoy the outdoors without medication.”

A study found that children taking just a half teaspoon

of flax oil a day experienced fewer and less severe respira-

tory infections and fewer days of being absent from school.

The reason? Omega-3, -6, and -9 essential fatty acids. In

addition to having powerful anti-inflammatory benefits,

omega-3 fatty acids act as immune boosters by increasing

the activity of phagocytes, the white blood cells that eat up

bacteria. Essential fatty acids also protect the body against

damage from over-reactions to infection. AIMega is an

organic seed oil blend that delivers a healthful balance of

omega-3, -6, and -9 essential fatty acids, plus tocotrienol,

a form of vitamin E that acts together with essential fatty

acids to further boost the immune system. AIMega is con-

veniently packaged in gelatin capsules, ensuring freshness

and ease-of-use.

Just as the Pughs found relief for their son’s asthma by

using the AIM products, so too did a family in Florida.

Julie VanDeHey, AIM Director, Debary, Florida: “My son Cody has had severe asthma and problems with

reading. Since he started taking AIMega along with Proancynol 2000, FloraFood, and BarleyLife, I’ve seen a huge change in his health and school performance. His school work has improved so much that his teacher is amazed.”

One group of physicians sent her home to die.

Another physician reviewed her medical records

and can’t believe she didn’t die several years ago. Then

there was a doctor who told her she had an inoperable

heart condition and, literally, her days were numbered.

Yoli Huron, a Star Sapphire Director from Texas, can

identify with the famous quote by humorist Mark Twain

in 1897 who awoke one morning to find his obituary mis-

takenly printed in a local paper. “The reports of my death

are greatly exaggerated,” he wrote to a friend.

For her part, Yoli takes what life has given her, heart

disease, and is thankful she can talk about it today. “Being

a heart disease survivor for the past 11 years has been

the most enjoyable and meaningful years of my life. I don’t

take life for granted. I make sure that I tell anyone that

comes as close as three-feet around me about my miracle

and the AIM products.”

Yoli’s belief in the AIM prod-

ucts was immediate. “The

first time I drank the AIM

Garden Trio® it was

obvious to me I had

increased energy and

improved health.”

Today she uses four

AIM products twice

a day and another 12

products once a day. In

addition, she uses AIM

Para 90® two times per

year, 90 days at a time.

Her husband, Sil, also uses many AIM products, crediting

them with lowering his blood pressure.

For many people, climbing nine flights of stairs would

result in a shortness of breath. For Yoli, who is the defini-

tion of energy and enthusiasm, climbing that many stairs

was just something she did. Then came a bout with short-

ness of breath. With two family members already diag-

nosed with coronary artery disease, Yoli took no chances.

It was off to see her doctor. It was not good news.

She flunked a treadmill test, was advised to have emer-

gency bypass surgery, and – for a memorable birthday –

she had quadruple bypass surgery on her 50th birthday in

1997. She is not sure she would do it again if she had to do

it over, but she only knew what the doctors were telling

her – have the surgery or else. “I was not given enough

information on the risks of surgery and I wasn’t properly

informed about the likelihood of its success.”

Still, she had the surgery and set about recovering. But

it just didn’t go well. Within a few months all four bypasses

were becoming blocked. Nothing can be done, she was

told. She was sent home to die. Not without a fight, she

told herself. But first, she and Sil fulfilled a commitment

to do some church work in Mexico. She continues that

effort to this day, traveling to Mexico several times a year

to assist with health clinics established to care for the

needs of people, many of whom don’t have electricity or

running water in their homes. Yoli does everything from

making sandwiches for the sometimes hundreds of volun-

teers who travel with her group to counseling locals on

health and nutrition.

She was sent home to die… 11 years ago

“The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

—Mark Twain, 1897, in response to his obituary mistakenly being printed in a local newspaper


Once she returned home, it was time to fight for

her life. She began a six-day-a-week aerobic exercise

program and immersed herself in a low fat, high fiber

diet, supplemented with AIM products. “I survived and

I thrived,” says Yoli. One of her physicians is Dr. Robert

Dons, an endocrinologist in San Antonio. “I feel privi-

leged to have assisted Yoli through her health crises,”

he says. “I have encouraged her exercise program. As

for her diet, it is all that it should be with less than four

ounces of animal protein per day, avoidance of simple

sugars, lots of high fiber healthy green vegetables and

fruits. Of course, the AIM products have helped as well,

giving her energy for the aerobic workouts as well as an

extra measure of fiber.”

In April 2008 Yoli underwent a stress test and ultra-

sound scan to check on the condition of her coro-

nary arteries. “The results were normal and perfect,”

reports Yoli. “My doctor told me she is amazed every

time she reviews my medical records because, accord-

ing to them, I should have died years ago. She said the

most important thing is for me to continue living my life

the way I’ve been doing the past few years in order to

continue to maintain great health.”

That is exactly what Yoli is doing. She wants to spend

time with her husband of 40 years, their daughter, her

daughter’s husband, and their two grandchildren. Plus

there are those trips to Mexico, gardening, going on

cruises, visiting zoos with her grandchildren, and enjoy-

ing art in museums. She does not have time to dwell

on her medical past. “I keep myself busy always doing

something or helping someone. Every morning I am

very grateful and thankful to be alive, thanking God for

another beautiful day.”

She adds, “I take time to smell the roses,” something

told to her by her father-in-law on his death bed. “I tell

people to enjoy life one day at a time. Life is too short,

take advantage of what you have and enjoy yourself with

your family.”

Her thoughts are never far from her dedication

to the AIM products. “I want to help as many people

as I can by giving hope for the miracle of life through

healthy living and using our great AIM products. The

AIM Companies™ is the best in the market today. We

have high-quality whole food concentrates and supple-

ments and we are committed to excellence.”

BarleyLife®

nA University of California study says there is a possible link between a man’s intake of folate and sperm count. Researchers say they found an association between high folate intake and sperm count. That is, those men with a higher folate intake had healthier sperm than those with a lower intake.

(AIM BarleyLife® contains folate.)

Cellsparc 360®

nA study in Japan says that a feeling of fatigue and an extended recovery time following exercise can be reduced by taking coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplements. The level of the enzyme peaks at age 20 then begins to drop off. Supplementation activates the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), commonly referred to as the body’s energy currency.(AIM Cellsparc 360® contains CoQ10.)

nType-2 diabetics are known to have an increased risk of heart disease. A study from Italy reports that daily vitamin E supplementation can reduce the risk of a diabetic falling victim to hardening of the arteries, a factor found in many heart disease patients. (AIM Cellsparc 360® contains vitamin E in the form of tocotrienols.)

LeafGreens™

nSupplementing the diet of the elderly with a full range of essential amino acids can increase

their lean body mass and improve muscle mass, strength, and func-tion, according to a study from the University of Texas.

(AIM LeafGreens™ contains a variety of essential amino acids.)n Vitamin K, reports a study

from the Netherlands, plays a role in maintaining skin elasticity and, in fact, may help the skin from aging and devel-oping wrinkles, specifically for persons who suffer from PXE, a condition of severe wrin-kling of the skin on the face and on the body. (AIM LeafGreens™ contains a high level of

vitamin K.)

FloraFood®

n Gastrointestinal problems are often caused by stress. But there is hope, based on a study in France that mea-sured the rate of abdominal pain and nausea/vomiting in persons receiving probiotics compared to a group of persons who were

given placebos. Those persons receiving the probiotics had “sig-nificantly reduced” levels of gas-trointestinal problems compared to those who were not taking them. (AIM FloraFood® contains three powerful probiotics.)

Consider the benefits of these AIM products …

fitbits briefs …nAs if there is not enough information available about the

ravages of diabetes, research now indicates that type-2 diabetes sufferers experience heightened lung deterio-ration as they age compared to people without type-2 diabetes. Diabetes is already the leading causal factor in heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, and non-traumatic amputations.

nAs we age, what our bodies need and how much we need of it changes. You are not the same person at age 70 that you were at age 50 or at age 25. Same with your body. Tufts University in the United States has developed a food pyramid for people 70 years and above. It empha-sizes the importance of fiber, calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, regular exercise, and fluids (water) intake.

nNot feeling so well-rested? Compared to just 20 years ago, an increasing number of American adults, some estimates run as high as 70 million, are getting no more than six hours of sleep per night. It is recommended that adults get seven to nine hours of sleep per night, with kids needing more than that. For children, 10 hours of sleep is recommended and not just for a more restful feeling in the morning. A study at the University of Michigan found that kids who don’t get enough sleep have a 60 percent greater chance of being obese by middle school than those who do get at least 10 hours of sleep per night.

nWant to increase your odds of accumulating belly fat? These are the Big 3 – lack of exercise, stress, and junk food. All contribute to the body producing neuropeptide, a hormone that plays a role in fat accumulation.

2009 convention

Envision yourself escaping to a Moroccan-inspired oasis in the heart of the desert. Where breathtaking

views, luxurious, elegantly designed accommodations, and limitless activities create the perfect setting for an unforgettable AIM convention.

Develop your strategy early by marking July 15 – 19 on your calendars now to make certain you’re able to attend AIM’s 2009 convention in the hidden paradise of Lake Las Vegas. Nestled in the Nevada desert, beautiful Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort is our destination in July of 2009 and you’ll feel more like you’re on a peaceful indul-gent getaway rather than attending an AIM convention.

An AIM convention at a resort with 25 acres of mag-nificent lakefront transforms itself into pure inspiration. The 320-acre lake offers great escapes for fishing, sailing, kayaking, and swimming. Around the lake and in the des-ert hills are miles of trails for walking, hiking, and biking. Between meetings, nature lovers, sun seekers, and golf-ers alike will revel in the serene beauty and majestic mountain views – a world apart from the Vegas Strip, yet only 17 miles away!

A short water taxi ride across the lake will transport you back to Little Italy at MonteLago Village. Wander through the quaint cobblestone streets, piazzas, water-front restaurants, lakeside boat docks, and specialty boutiques of this Italian lakeside village.

The luxuries you’ll experience at the Loews Lake Las

Vegas Resort while attending the 2009 AIM convention will leave you feeling pampered and spoiled.

Want to attend convention for FREE? It’s easy to do – just participate in the It’s in the Cards

2008 contest from Tuesday, July 1, 2008, through Saturday, January 31, 2009. So plan your strategy to accomplish your goal, and we’ll see you in July 2009 in beautiful Lake Las Vegas!

We’re sweetening the pot! Is it challenging to make a single payment to the

convention? AIM is here to help! Sign up to participate in the “Convention Auto Pay

Program” by October 31, 2008, and pay for a full con-vention package in monthly installments through May 2009.

It’s pretty simple … sign up to participate and the payment will be $98.00 per month. Payments will be drawn from November 2008 through May 2009.

If you win an award in the It’s in the Cards 2008 con-test, you’ll be reimbursed for the amount of the award.

The auto pay program is applicable to full conven-tion packages only.

*A full convention package includes four nights hotel accommodations (based on double occupancy), Welcome Dinner, four breakfasts, and Gala Dinner. Thursday and Friday sessions are complimentary.

Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort2009 AIM Convention in Henderson, Nevada


aim business-builder

Potential members won’t be aware of the AIM story

unless you take the time and initiative to tell them.

So advises Mary Teeter, an AIM Director from

Pinellas Park, Florida.

Mary is a believer in the products and the company so

she is not afraid to share. “No matter who I meet, whether

in a park, restaurant, church, or talking to someone on

the phone and health comes up, I tell them about AIM

BarleyLife®. If age comes into

a conversation, I tell them I am

71, I have never colored my hair

– that it is still pretty much the

same color as it has always been.

Then they invariably say I don’t

look more than 50, that I don’t

have wrinkles, and ask me what

I put on my skin.”

That’s an opening Mary is looking for. “I tell them it

isn’t what you put on your skin, it is what you put on the

inside of your body, that I have used AIM BarleyLife® and

AIM Herbal Fiberblend® for 12 years.” And she never fails

to add a little health testimony of her own: “I go to the doc-

tor once a year and he always tells me the same thing – that

my blood is perfect and my heart and lungs are also very

healthy.”

Mary feels it is important for AIM Members to know

the success stories of other AIM Members. Knowing that

someone benefited from the products is a powerful sell-

ing tool. “I tell people about Members who had serious

illnesses and recovered. They took AIM BarleyLife® to

strengthen the immune system and to give the body the

nutrients it needs. If you feed the live cells with live food,

the body can heal itself as God designed it.”

Years ago AIM Chairman’s

Club Director Janet Pauly pro-

vided Mary with eight pages

of testimonials about people’s

problems and the results they

realized by taking AIM’s prod-

ucts. In attempting to sponsor

someone, Mary distributes what

Janet gave her plus her business

card and an AIM BarleyLife® brochure. “Most times the

person I am talking to will ask how to get AIM BarleyLife®

and I tell them they can go to my website, which is on my

card, or call me.”

When someone is ready to sign up, Mary seizes the

opportunity. “I have three-way calling and when I am talk-

ing to a potential membership I can get AIM on the line

and we can get them signed up and

they will have their product in

5-7 days. At that time, I tell

them how to take the prod-

ucts and also tell them they

can call me anytime they

want with any questions

they may have. I will

always be there for

them.”

How will they know aboutAIM if you don’t tell them?

From left: Mary Teeter, her daughter Dawn Alto, grand-daughter Amy Miodowski, and great grandson Morgan Miodowski.

“No matter who I meet, whether in a park, restaurant, church, or talking to someone on the phone and health comes up, I tell them about AIM BarleyLife®.”

23

The initial attraction to AIM comes through

the product, explains Mary. She says she can

demonstrate to new Members that they can also

make a good living or pay for their product if

they decide to do the business. She attempts to

be a product consultant for prospective mem-

bers and a business-builder advisor for those

interested in the financial aspect of AIM.

Mary believes a good way to help people

understand the value of an AIM product is to

compare it to something they understand in their

daily lives. People drive autos; they know what

it takes to get from place to place. A car can-

not run on water, Mary says. It needs the right

fuel. It is no different with the body. That com-

parison provides her with an opportunity to lead

into the value of AIM’s products. “The body

cannot heal or it is not healthy if it has only the

standard American diet to function. The stan-

dard American diet is lacking in nutrients. It is

filled with preservatives, hormones, etc., that

cause illness. People then turn to a doctor to try

and get well but in many cases that makes things

worse.”

Mary has found a lot of people who have

either tried traditional medicine and found it

lacking or wish to deal with ailments in a more

natural way. She is ready with some advice for

them. “I tell people God did not hang drugs on

trees. He provided wonderfully nutritious food

from the trees and vegetables from the soil to

feed us and keep us healthy. But man altered

what God gave us and, as a result, we are suffer-

ing from the food man has altered.”

Not to be overlooked in spreading the word

about AIM is a zeal to do so. “I cannot stand

to see people sick when I know God has had a

hand in providing a wonderful whole food for

them to take. AIM BarleyLife® can provide their

bodies with the food it needs to be well. That

is what gives me the courage to speak to any-

one anywhere about their health. I feel if I don’t

speak up they could remain a very miserable

person and continue to suffer when they could

be well.”


aim corner

Spanish Services representatives Teresa Ward

and Maria Garcia did not begin their employ-

ment with AIM at the same time and they did

not arrive at AIM by the same route. But they both

feel the same calling when asked to describe what they

most enjoy about their jobs and about the AIM mis-

sion: “Helping others,” they respond.

All very reminiscent of a Chinese proverb: “If you

want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want

happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness

for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for

a lifetime, help somebody.”

Teresa, married with two children and three grand-

children, was working for a temp agency that placed

her at AIM in Nampa, Idaho, to assist with entering

mail orders. When that job was up, AIM asked her to

work for the company full-time. Maria is married with

two children. She responded to an AIM ad looking for

a Spanish-speaking employee to communicate with

AIM’s Spanish members and to provide some help

with translation of English materials into Spanish.

Maria’s feeling at the time of her hire has not changed

over the years. “The position with AIM seemed like

a great way to continue to speak and learn Spanish

and, at the same time, help others by giv-

ing them access to something beneficial,

the AIM products and the AIM com-

pensation plan, that otherwise they

might not be introduced to due to

the language barrier.”

Teresa has a similar view.

“From my beginning

with AIM, the com-

pany has given me

the motivation to

be the best that

I can be and to

be able to share

what I have learned to help others.”

Unlike Chinese Services that must deal with a num-

ber of Chinese dialects, Maria and Teresa say while

there are different accents and some unique wording

in Spanish, there really is only one Spanish language.

“Understanding the culture is as important as know-

ing the language,” says Teresa. “Speaking the language

will only take you so far.” Maria adds, “Many times

the sponsor of a Spanish-speaking person does not

speak the language. It is important that we provide

them with product and compensation plan informa-

tion. Spanish-speaking Members do not have access

to the same amount of information that the English-

speaking Members have.”

Their view of helping those who need it is reflected

in the standard they set for themselves. “Treat others

like you would like to be treated,” is Maria’s descrip-

tion of Spanish Services role.

Both ladies not only talk the AIM talk, they live it

as well. Teresa uses five of AIM’s food-based concen-

trates plus a number of the dailyLife™ products. Maria

uses seven AIM products. She says two of AIM’s most

recent products, AIM Peak Endurance® and CalciAIM™,

“work well mixed together and they taste great.”

Some 60 years ago author Napoleon Hill

wrote a book about some of the

most successful people in the

world. The key to their suc-

cess, he said, was helping

others to succeed. “I have

learned that helping oth-

ers,” says Maria, “which

is what Teresa

and I do here at

AIM, is the best

reward.”

It really is about helping others

Maria and Teresa

the Cards – AIM’s 2008 convention contest.

Know the rules. Study and understand

the details in the contest flyer. If you have any

questions – ask. Either your upline or AIM’s

Customer Service Center will have the answers

you seek. Know what you need in each category

for the prize level you aim to achieve.

Be proactive. Ask your upline to share

ideas with you on what has worked for them.

Check AIM’s teleclass schedule and sign up for a

class designed to explain the contest and answer

any questions you may have. Other teleclasses

may also help you in areas where you need to

increase your expertise by providing helpful

information, direction, or motivation.

Commitment is a steadfast willingness to

a course of action and is vital to meeting your

goal. You can have what you dream, if you com-

mit to do what is needed to achieve it.

Stay focused. Allowing yourself to become

distracted from what you need to do to achieve

your dream can deter your progress and stop

you from achieving the desired end result.

Practice USSBT. For years AIM Members

have been successful in using these five basic

steps to achieve their goals. Enjoy the benefits

that following them can bring.

– Use the AIM products

– Share the AIM products

– Sponsor others

– Build strong relationships

– Teach others to do the same

Increase your odds of a winning hand.

Here are some great tips to maximize your

“take” in the hand you’ve been dealt.

Sculpted from

the rugged des-

ert terrain of Southern

Nevada, Lake Las Vegas

Resort lies nestled

USSBT


Purchase Credits – Take the total of the Purchase

Credits and Growth Credits that are needed for your

prize level goal and divide by seven (the number of

months of the contest). This will give you a target goal

to achieve for each month of the contest in each quali-

fication category.

You earn the most Purchase Credits on the BVP of

New Members and Express Customers signed up dur-

ing the contest period – down to three levels. So, you

will want to create a strategy to reach and motivate

these new people to purchase and build their respec-

tive downlines. Using the five basic steps of the USSBT

as a plan of action has helped many Members build very

successful AIM businesses. In fact, many have won the

highest levels in the contests by following USSBT!

For established, personally-sponsored Members or

Express Customers who have not ordered product

in 2008, you also receive an additional 50 percent of

their personal BVP. Adding this to the 10 percent you

normally receive gives you a total of 60 percent of their

BVP in Purchase Credits during the contest period.

So, be sure to con-

tact and follow up

with your existing

downline, especially those who haven’t ordered this

year.

Play your cards right. To get the most purchase

credits each month it is advantageous for you to plan

your monthly product purchases to take advantage of

“Bonus Purchase Credits.” Each month, there will be

bonus Purchase Credits on select AIM products, giving

you an additional 50 percent of your personal BVP on

those products – for a total of 200 percent in Purchase

Credits. Discover ways to personally promote these

products to your Level 1-3 Members each month either

by phone, e-mail, or postal mail. How about writing

and sending a monthly newsletter to your downline

promoting the bonus products for that month?

Growth Credits – Study the contest flyer so

you know the rules and the different ways you can

achieve growth credits. Again, be sure to divide the

total amount you need for your prize level goal by

seven, the number of contest months. That gives you

the number of growth credits you need to have each

month in order to reach your goal by the end of the

contest period. Plan the necessary steps and activities

you will need to accomplish each day or each week to

reach your monthly target goal in this category.

Not everyone can live in east Texas, eight miles

out of town, on 45 acres, and the nearest town,

Gilmer, has a population of only 5,000.

This spring father Eddie was part of a missionary group

to Cambodia. They visited orphanages, prisons, and vil-

lages. At one of the prisons they dropped off 600 loaves

of bread and a Bible for each inmate. A goal of his is to

do what he can to purchase back children sold

into prostitution and, instead, place

them into orphanages.

Mother Dixie has helped home-

school her five children. She

helps operate their home-

based web business selling

everything from AIM products

to kitchen supplies. Possibly

their most unique product is an

electric butter dish that sits on

a counter top and keeps butter at

the perfect temperature.

Daughter Rachel, 17, has been to Belize

twice on missions and plays the keyboard in a

Christian band.

Daughter Hannah, 14, wants to follow in her

sister’s steps and go on a mission to Belize.

In addition to the two girls, the three older

children are boys. Two repair appliances, and one

is a firefighter in the Air Force. One of them is a

championship weight lifter. One of the wives runs

in half-marathons.

Parents Eddie and Dixie are Royal Emerald

Directors. They have not missed an AIM convention

or a Texas BarleyLife meeting since 1995. The AIM

Companies™ was founded on an entrepreneurial spirit.

In other words, you make your own breaks in life. The

Shaws are certainly emblematic of that.

Dixie began the family affiliation with AIM. At age 41

she had a baby and needed to lose weight. “I started on

AIM Herbal Fiberblend® and so did my sister, who had

been diagnosed with breast cancer. We became Members

and lots of family members started taking barley and AIM

Herbal Fiberblend®. In August of 2006, my mom passed

away at age 83. I believe the AIM products helped her live

healthier and longer and for that I am very grateful. We

are so thankful someone shared AIM with us. Our lives

have been changed and will never be the same.”

Dixie reports that the family is rarely ill, which she

attributes to their use of the AIM products. “The two

girls have only been to see a doctor three or four

times since birth,” she says. “A couple of colds led

to ear infections, which needed medical atten-

tion. I think we save money using high qual-

ity AIM supplements and rarely having to

visit a doctor. Our children have all taken

AIM BarleyLife® and sometimes AIM Herbal

Fiberblend®. The girls also use

AIM Composure® any time

they can’t fall asleep.”

It is Dixie, however,

who can lay claim to the

most unique application of

an AIM product among the

Shaw family. “I have put

AIM Cell Wellness Restorer™

in my hair for years and I think it

From Cambodia to an electric butter dish

The Shaws are not your typical AIM family

Rachel

Hannah

Dixie and Eddie


has helped keep the gray back. It is just starting to turn a

little gray at age 56. I also love soaking in it in the tub. It

helps me feel better.”

The AIM products are a natural fit for a family that

home-schools, according to Dixie. “Being home-edu-

cated you learn about eating healthy,” she explains. “We

learned a lot about being healthy through our home-

school curriculum. When AIM came into our lives, it was

such a blessing. We read an article years ago when we

first started with AIM about how barley juice is anti-aging

and I believe we are living proof after taking it now for 14

years. We feel young, we look young. We will always take

the AIM products.”

What is it about the

products that makes them

so appealing, makes them

work so well? “Our bod-

ies are alive and need live

food,” says Dixie. “What

better way to get live food quickly, easily, and it tastes

great. Green is the color of life and everyone needs more

green food in their diets. I believe you can prevent disease

by taking high-quality supplements and I think you should

start young.”

With their livelihood centered on a home-based busi-

ness, they necessarily have come into contact with a

variety of companies. AIM is special to them. “AIM is a

company with integrity,” Dixie says. “AIM has great prod-

ucts that make a difference in people’s lives.” And one of

the things AIM prides itself on, the family atmosphere, is

not lost on the Shaws. “The fellowship with AIM Members

is something we look forward to each year at the conven-

tion and at the Texas meeting. We always learn and grow

and our passion to continue to share the AIM products

is renewed each year. We love The AIM Companies™ and

its products and we love sharing them with people who

have needs.”

AIM is definitely a family affair. In all, the Shaw parents

use 13 AIM products. Their youngest daughter was fed

AIM BarleyLife® as a baby – put in her mouth dry – and

that is the way she takes it today. A 2-year-old grand-

child chews AIM BarleyLife® capsules as well as AIMega®

capsules.

The Shaws, by their own admission, believe in doing

what they can to foster a healthy lifestyle for themselves

and the people they sell to. Their use of the AIM products,

the type of products they market from their web-based

business reflect that belief.

They understand the need to

take care of your body – it’s

the only place you have

to live.

“I think we save money using high quality AIM supplements and rarely having to visit a doctor.”
