Written by AIM Director Bob Celski

What does it take to fulfill a childhood dream?

For AIM-sponsored speedskater J.R. Celski, his dream took more perseverance, determination, and support than he could ever have imagined. But it all paid off with an experience of a lifetime and two medals at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.

J.R. came to Vancouver not knowing how he would hold up in terms of physical and mental preparation. In fact, he was not even supposed to be back on skates after a terrible accident at September’s Olympic Trials. He was not supposed to be able to compete in the Olympics. He was not sup-posed to advance out of the heats. He was not supposed to medal.

But he did medal, exactly five months and one day after the accident that nearly ended his career.

In the Olympics’ first weekend, J.R. took to the ice in the 1,500-meter race – one of the premier events at the Winter Games and J.R.’s strongest distance. He made it through the qualification rounds and into the final where he skated alongside U.S. teammate Apolo Anton Ohno and a trio of talented South Korean skaters.

J.R. kept his cool at the back of the pack for the majority of the race, biding his time

until an opportunity presented itself. His opportunity came on the last lap when he and Ohno took advantage of a spill by two of the Korean skaters. Ohno and J.R., skat-ing in fourth and fifth positions, watched as South Korea’s Lee Ho-Suk crashed on the final turn, taking out Korean teammate Sung Si-Bak in the process. Ohno and J.R. skated

past to capture silver and bronze, respectively.

In the thrilling after-math of the finish, NBC announcer Andy Gabel captured J.R.’s moment perfectly: “J.R. Celski

goes from just hoping to be alive, now he’s at the Olympic games, now he has an Olympic medal. What an amazing finish.”

Two weeks later, on speedskating’s final night, J.R. earned his second medal of the Games with a clutch performance in the 5,000-meter team relay. J.R. skated strong throughout the relay (prompting Gabel to comment, “That’s J.R. Celski; look how fast he’s going!”), but he and the three other American skaters – including Ohno – found themselves in fourth place late in the race, trailing Canada, South Korea, and China. On the penultimate leg of the relay, J.R. pushed the U.S. team onto the medal stand – liter-ally – when he passed off to Ohno, shov-ing his teammate ahead of the third-place Korean skater. Ohno maintained third place for the final two laps of the race, helping J.R. earn his second medal of the Olympics.

“J.R. is the miracle of these games,” said Larry Daignault, one of the U.S. coaches. “No one knows like me what he went through to be on the podium.”

the ice would offer both challenge and opportunity.

About 15 months later, in July 2003, when the International Olympic Committee an nounc ed the 2010 Olympics would be held in Vancouver, the deal was sealed. J.R. declared to his mom and me that he wanted to be there. The Celski Family Project took root. Within four months of that declaration, The AIM Companies™ picked up J.R. as a spon-sored athlete and has backed him ever since.

Over the next several years, J.R. made quite a name for himself on the short track speedskating circuit, including a successful run with the senior U.S. team in 2009. His performance at the Olympic Trials – even

though it was cut short with injury – was more than enough to earn him a place at the Olympics. And only five months after his injury, J.R. landed in Vancouver with the U.S. Olympic team. He made it – he was now no longer an

“Olympic hopeful.” He was an “Olympian!”The excitement overwhelmed J.R. For the

next week, he and the U.S. short track team practiced on the ice at the Pacific Coliseum, the venue for the Olympic short track

“J.R. is the miracle of these games,” said Larry Daignault, one of the U.S. coaches. “No one knows like me what he went through to be on the podium.”

J.R. also had a chance to medal in the 1,000-meter race, but he was disqualified in the semifinal round on a questionable call for interference with another skater.

The coverage of J.R. at the Olympics and in the weeks leading up to the Games rou-tinely came back to his amazing recovery from a life-threatening injury at September’s Olympic Trials. At the trials, J.R. took a nasty spill during a race and suffered a deep cut in his left leg. As he was rushed to the hospital, my wife Sue called AIM Members to see what AIM products would be best to hurry the healing process and help him recover. And the day after surgery, J.R. was drinking AIM LeafGreens® that I had mixed up for him. Only five months later, J.R. was stand-ing on the podium at the Olympics.

J.R.’s Olympic dream had been eight years in the making. In February 2002, 11-year-old J.R. watched short track speedskating in the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. Already a decorated inline skater with mul-tiple national championships and records under his belt, J.R. was ready for something new. He thought that taking his talent to

competition. His first race occurred eight days later.

But first, J.R. fulfilled another dream. At the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games, J.R. marched in the very front row of the U.S. team, with NBC cameras singling him out before any-one else. A photographer friend of the family, Jerry Search, captured the TV image and per-fectly described what he saw on J.R.’s face: “I’m here, I have won!”

For the next two weeks, the Celski family par-ticipated in the Olympics from every standpoint. Most fulfilling was the fact that we were able to share this lifetime experience with our loved ones: family and friends who were somehow involved in the Family Project along the way.

Our oldest son Chris spent two weeks in Vancouver. Our son David, an Army First Lieutenant, and his wife Brittney were able to be with us for nine days. Both grandmas, Betty and Penny, were in attendance, as were most of J.R.’s aunts, uncles, and cousins, and our closest family friends. Having the games occur less than a three-hour drive from our home was such an advantage.

No event of this magnitude can be accom-plished without a solid logistical plan: where to stay, how to get around, meal planning, a com-fortable place to meet our loved ones coming in for the events.

Luckily, we had a connection right at the doorstep of the games! Our close friends, AIM Chairman’s Club Directors Ken and Lanny Donald completely opened up their home to us in Surrey, British Columbia, which made an easy start point to our activities. With warmth and hospital-ity, our every need was taken care of. For 17 days, we turned the Donald home into our “Operations Cen-ter,” laptops tak-ing over the dining room, bags strewn around the house. What a joy it was being with the Donalds. I really enjoyed my daily

sessions with Ken reviewing the previous day’s Olympic highlights.

AIM Director Anitra Donald became our “Transportation Coordinator,” constantly driving us to the nearby Sky Train. She was truly duty bound – picking us up as late as 1:30 a.m. Anitra also gave us expert guidance and directions when we drove into the city.

Thanks to the Proctor and Gamble Family Home, we had a place to meet our loved ones in the heart of Vancouver. They offered the families of Olympians the comforts of home, meals, and other amenities. It is here we spent much of our time meeting and entertaining, even celebrating two birthdays! We could not have done it without P&G.

Of course, J.R. did more than his part to ensure we all had a memorable experience at the Olympics as well.

For me, it was an experience of a lifetime. Watching my son beaming twice with arms raised, a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a medal around his neck, with Olympic music blaring while on the world stage – what could be better? I guess the only thing better is having my family participate in the Family Project that allowed my son to fulfill a childhood dream.

Editor’s note: The AIM Companies extends its heartfelt congratulations to J.R. and family. AIM Members and AIM staff from around the world proudly watched J.R. compete in the 2010 Winter Games. AIM Canada’s General Manager Rose Bird and

Janice Chan; AIM Chairman’s Club Directors Ken and Lanny Donald and Daryl and Betty Hicks; and AIM Directors Anitra Donald and Jensina Donald were in attendance to cheer J.R. on in person.

The Opportunity – your compensation planis to place an initial product order of $100 or more to have the membership fee waived (order must be $100, rather than 100 BVP). Another method is to sign up for AIM’s Automatic Monthly Reorder (AMR) program. An AMR requires a minimum $50 order for a period of three consecutive months. If these options are not suitable, new Members may opt to pay the $20 membership fee and purchase any products of their choice.

Ask AIM Resource Manager Andrew Smith

Q: What if my new Member does not want

to purchase a Starter Pack? Can they still get a FREE membership?

A: Yes, there are other options besides purchas-

ing a Starter Pack. One option

The four nutrient-dense leaves that compose AIM

LeafGreens® – spinach, faba bean, field pea, and barley

– contain a wealth of nutrition benefits. Director Karen

Chan, from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada,

believes that fighting Parkinson’s could be one of them.

“All Parkinson’s patients should know about LeafGreens,”

Karen says. “My relative has suffered from Parkinson’s for

over a decade. About a year ago, she was at the maximum of

her medication, and the doctor admitted there was nothing

else to do. She was in her wheelchair and couldn’t even move

to help herself sit up in a more comfortable position.

“I introduced her to LeafGreens. She reluctantly tried it.

After about two canisters, I

already witnessed her

improvement. Right now,

she can move around

her home without the

help of her cane.”

Karen credits

the L-dopa from

the faba bean leaf

in the LeafGreens

formula as having the biggest benefit to Parkinson’s

patients. And researchers agree. L-dopa is known

as the gold standard for treating Parkinson’s disease

due to its ability to restore the depleted supply of

dopamine in the brains of Parkinson’s patients. In

particular, L-dopa is effective against rigidity and

slowness and significantly improves the quality of

life for Parkinson’s patients.

Did you know? Quercetin, a flavonoid with

a variety of therapeutic uses and benefits,

occurs naturally in LeafGreens but is found

in a synthetic form in most supplements.

The synthetic form of quercetin is not water

soluble, and therefore its consumption pro-

vides no meaningful benefits. The natural

quercetin in LeafGreens is more bioavail-

able and absorbable.

Q & A



Are your clothes mysteriously shrinking? Or are you

simply expanding in all the wrong places? Did your

New Year’s resolution to get fitter somehow shift into get

fatter? Do you look in the mirror and wish to see a flat

tummy or six-pack abs? Whatever the reason or the season,

the time is always right to begin shaping up.

Exercise!It is a fact that at some

point, you have to start

moving and continue

moving on a regular

basis in order to stay in

good shape. It may be tough to get motivated, but regular

exercise is vital for maintaining good health both physi-

cally and mentally. Find an activity that you enjoy, such as

swimming, walking, or doing aerobics.

AIM offers an enjoyable way to start exer-

cising or to add to your fitness routine with

an exercise ball. With the included air pump

and exercise instructions, you have every-

thing you need to bounce, stretch, and roll.

Have a ball while you are shaping up and make exercise a

fun part of your day.

Plus, you will benefit from the workout endorphins—

brain chemicals released during a good workout. Exercise

increases your endorphins and decreases your waist size.

Looking good and feeling healthy are pleasant side effects

as well.

Nutrition!Diet is an essential factor

for getting in shape. What goes

down can make your weight go

up, so carefully choosing

the food and drink you put

into your mouth makes the

shaping-up difference. Food selection along with modera-

tion is the key.

If you are eating food that is fatty or processed and

drinking beverages that are sugar- and chemical-laced,

then stop. Avoid them at all costs. Such fake foods and

drinks are convenient but you are treating your body like

a garbage can.

Your stomach may act like a friend or relative that is

always telling you what you need. But do not forget that

you are in charge, not your stomach, which may rumble

with familiar cravings for a cheeseburger, fries, and a soda.

Train your stomach to hunger for whole foods, such as fruit

and vegetables, and be satisfied with smaller portions of

high quality meat (or none at all if you are on the vegetar-

ian path). And make sure that you drink water throughout

the day, especially while you are working up a sweat during

exercise.

Good nutrition equals good health in the long run.

Supplement with AIM products!

Good nutrition is the heart and

soul of The AIM Companies™ in

the form of whole food supple-

ments and natural health prod-

ucts. Supplementing with AIM

products enhances your dietary

choices and ensures that you are

giving your body an optimal amount of nutrients on a daily

basis. Your shaping-up diet does not get any healthier than

that.

If you are trying to lose weight, the trio of products in

the AIM Weight Management Starter Pack can help you

shed pounds and shape up with strong and lean muscles.

Protein is a dietary necessity, and the alkaline, vegetable

protein in AIM ProPeas® provides a healthy alternative to

acid-forming meat protein. Along with ProPeas, the fiber

in AIM fit ’n fiber® contributes to that full-stomach feel-

ing, so you feel like eating less. The antioxidant-rich AIM

CellStar™ superjuices boost your immune system while sup-

plying a wealth of nutrients to support your weight reduc-

tion or exercise goals. Of course, it goes without saying that

the whole-food benefits of AIM BarleyLife®, which is an

important part of a daily wellness regime, also help boost

your exercise routine.

Do not even think about reaching for a sports drink unless

you are reaching for AIM Peak Endurance®. Energize and

replenish your body with Peak Endurance’s absorbable ade-

nosine triphosphate (ATP) – your cells’ primary source of

energy – from PEAK ATP®, along with five electrolytes, B

vitamins, and vitamin C. Adding

Peak Endurance to your exercise

routine helps to improve your mus-

cle growth, strength, and recovery.

And it gives you an anti-aging

upper hand in going up against the

hands of time.

Sleep!Getting enough

rest is a vital fac-

tor in shaping up.

The 2004 Wisconsin

Sleep Cohort Study,

involving over 1,000

participants, showed

that getting less

than seven to eight

hours of sleep

every night creates an

imbalance of appetite-

regulating hormones. The

less you sleep, the more

weight you gain and the more dif-

ficult it is for you to lose weight.

Think of your bed as a repair

shop. While you are sleeping off

the wear-and-tear of the day, your

muscles are being repaired and

your body is being restored. And

if you ever need help in

winding down from the

stress of life, taking AIM

Composure® helps you to

relax and sleep more soundly.

Sleep is like an essential nutri-

ent that your body requires to stay

healthy. You know how you feel

after a good night’s sleep. All you

have to do is compare it to how you

feel when you have not slept well –

grumpy, physically impaired, and

mentally in a fog. {This testimonial cannot be construed as representing results everybody can achieve.}

Slow down the hands of timeBy Mitch Clarke, AIM Group Builder, Canada

In October of 2009, I laid my dear dad to rest. My father had so many serious health issues. His vision was impaired by glaucoma, which required the regular use of eye drops. He had a quadruple bypass at 75 and went through dialysis three times a week for four hours. Deterioration of the cartilage in his knees made even walking painful, so he was unable to do any exercise. Eventually, his legs had to be amputated due to a poor circulation. Although my dad had physiotherapy twice a week, he was never able to walk with prosthetic limbs.

As for me, I had a heart attack at the age of fifty. I certainly did not want to end up with numerous health issues like my father. Even though I had a positive attitude about life, I wasn’t taking care of my health. Job stress kept me from doing any exercise, even walking. I wasn’t eating well because I was always on the go. I wasn’t relaxed because I was too stressed by the challenges I faced. After the heart attack, everything changed.

I started to get some exercise by going for walks. I made healthy changes in my eating habits. I learned how to relax. And I changed my job. Then AIM entered my life.

I found out about AIM from Ron Wright, the company’s president. Years ago, Ron came to hear me preach at the church where I was an associate pastor, and he never forgot me. In 2009, we were reunited through a mutual friend, and Ron invited me to join AIM.

Wanting to live life to the fullest, my wife Debbie and I learned about the prod-ucts and the income opportunity by having information sessions with Rose Bird, general manager of AIM Canada, at the Vancouver office. We immediately started taking 70 percent of the AIM products.

I have become convinced of their long-term effectiveness and have enjoyed the new-found liveliness that comes from taking AIM Peak Endurance® and AIM BarleyLife® along with a freedom and ease of movement from AIMega® and AIM Frame Essentials® as I exercise. Thrilled with these results, I have talked about my positive results with family and friends, and they have begun using AIM products as well.

On a final note, I remember a love song written by R. Kelly called “If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time.” I’ve made changes to the following sampled lyrics:

How did I ever let my health slip awayNever knowing I’d be singing this song some dayAnd now I’m sinking, sinking to rise no moreEver since poor health closed the doorIf I could turn back the hands of timeThen my darlin’ health you’d still be mineIf I could just turn back that little clock on the wallThen I‘d come to realize how much I love being strong.If I could turn back the hands of time

I know that I cannot turn back the hands of time, but I can slow down those hands so I will enjoy my health through the future.

The AIM pH kit (5488) is available for $12.50 U.S.

Body pH is ideal indicator of overall health

body health

The struggle to maintain good internal health is made

difficult by the fact that we simply cannot see what is

going on inside our bodies. Though we may not be able

to see the progress a healthy diet and sound nutrition are

making, we can test it.

Body pH test strips, like those offered by AIM (5488E,

$12.50), measure the alkalinity or acidity

of our bodies. Through either a saliva

test or a urine test, the test strips are

able to gauge how well our internal

health is doing and give us an idea of

what we have to shoot for.

Body pH is an ideal indicator of

overall body health. Since pH affects

the way our bodies function on the cel-

lular level, maintaining a healthy pH is

essential to warding off disease, protect-

ing the immune and nervous systems,

and establishing a clean bill of health.

pH runs on a scale of zero to 14 with

seven being pH neutral. Anything under

seven is considered acidic and anything

over seven is alkaline. In general, a healthy pH level will

be slightly alkaline, around 7.4. This level matches the pH

of human blood, which must remain in the range of 7.35 to

7.45 for bodies to survive.

A system of safeguards in the body prevents blood pH

from dipping above or below the normal, but the rigors of

a highly acidic diet still have a deep impact on health. If a

saliva test shows a pH that falls into the acidic range, that

person’s body is working overtime to fight off the addi-

tional acid. Calcium is pulled from our bones to neutral-

ize the effect of a highly acidic diet, and this process of

continual repair can take its tolls over the years. Not only

does an acid pH rob the body of valuable nutrients, it also

creates an environment in the body that breeds bacteria,

yeast, and other unwanted organisms.

For this reason, alkalizing diets are recommended. The

foods and beverages we ingest have either an acidifying

or alkalizing effect on our body pH. In general, fruits and

vegetables are the leaders in creating an alkalizing effect.

Grains, animal foods, and processed foods carry an acidic

effect. With this in mind, it is easy to see how a typical

American diet – high on processed foods, animal protein,

and grains – can become highly acidic.

AIM products are one effective way to help return the

body to its natural, slightly alkaline

state. Certain elements in the foods we

eat are often held responsible for the

acidifying or alkalizing effect on our

bodies.

Alkalizing elements, which absorb hydrogen, include sodium,

potassium, magnesium, and iron. The following AIM products con-

tain the highest amounts of these elements:

Potassium: BarleyLife® and LeafGreens®

Magnesium: CalciAIM™

Iron: LeafGreens

In addition to AIM nutritional concentrates, a

healthy diet with health-conscious choices can make a

big impact on restoring normal body pH. Avoid foods that

contain sulfur, phosphorous, and chlorine. These minerals

release hydrogen, causing an acidifying effect on the body.

Instead, choose foods that contain elements like potas-

sium, calcium, and iron – all of which have an alkalizing

effect on the body.

Making good choices with your diet and supplement-

ing with AIM products will give you the tools you need to

maintain a healthy body pH. Take a pH test to see where

you stand, and follow up with a plan to alkalize your body.

The struggle to maintain internal health is a lot easier

when you know what needs fixing and how to fix it.

The AIM pH test kit (5488) is available for $12.50 U.S.

John and Marlene Miller, Royal Emerald Directors from

Dundee, Ohio, have excelled at their AIM business by

reaching out to those around them – family and community.

AIM Members since 1998, The Millers became active

with their AIM business in 2000 and were able to effectively

reach a number of family, friends, and neighbors to help build

their business. John and Marlene have 10 children (9 living),

40 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, and many

family members take the AIM products and have successful

AIM businesses of their own. The community of Dundee and

the surrounding areas have also offered many opportunities

to share about AIM.

“Being active in our community has been very effective

for us,” says John, who works full-time as a logger and helps

Marlene with the AIM business in the evenings and on week-

ends. “We set up booths at community events, send out news-

letters, and conduct meetings in our home and in the homes

of our downline.

“Marlene has a passion to help people to improve their

health. People comment to her that they can see that she is

authentic and that she truly cares about them. Marlene says,

‘If you are just out to sell products, forget it!’ You have to

genuinely care about people and want to help them improve

their health and quality of life. I keep datasheets, product cat-

alogs, and business cards with me at all times to be ready for

an opportunity to share.”

Datasheets are the Millers’ favorite sales tools, and they

consider AIM BarleyLife® and AIM Herbal Fiberblend® as

two of their favorite products.

The Millers spend a lot of time reaching out to their down-

line and into the community. A typical work day involves pre-

paring mailings to be sent out, stamping AIM literature with

their personal contact information, and staying in touch with

downline Members by phone and mail.

For new Members, John and Marlene encourage them to

commit to using the AIM products for at least 90 days con-

sistently so that they can experience results on their own and

then share those experiences with others.

As the Millers have found success with their AIM

AIM Royal Emerald PromotionJohn and Marlene Miller

– Dundee, Ohio –

royal emerald promotion

business, they have seen their reach expand beyond their local

community.

“Having an AIM business has blessed us with being able

to travel more,” John says. “We travel and share with others

about the AIM products. Our influence has grown beyond our

local community and family.

“Financially we have been blessed to be able to give more

to charities, individuals, and families. We have met people

who have become our friends. Taking the AIM products has

improved the quality of our lives and lives of others. We are

able to make a difference in peoples’ lives by truly caring for

them and sharing with them about the benefits of using the

AIM products.”

When John and Marlene are not hard at work at their

AIM business, they enjoy reading; Marlene loves to delve

into health-related topics and Christian non-fiction. Also, the

Millers take time to travel, go to conventions, and visit other

AIM Members and family.

“We love it when people associated with AIM come to

visit us,” Marlene says. “We enjoy spending time with them,

sharing, and just having fellowship together. John and I talk

often about if we had not got involved with AIM we would

not know as many people as we do now. Truly being involved

with AIM has changed our lives. We are so grateful to God

for how He has blessed us, our family, and our downline.”

The Millers prefer not to be photographed. Below is one of Marlene’s favorite horses.

“AIM has given me financial stability, freedom to spend more time with my family, and the oppor-

tunity to help others wherever I go,” Royal Emerald Director June Poswiata says.

June, a weight loss coach and nutrition educator in her hometown of Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada, started with The AIM Companies™ in March of 1993 and has spent nearly two decades improving the lives of those around her. She is very active in her church, business, and community, and she is a mother of three and a proud grandmother of five.

“By encouraging others that they don’t have to be sick, I have something incredible to share with them,” says June, who counts AIM LeafGreens® and AIM ProPeas® among her favorite products. “With the AIM products, it is a sure win.”

A key to June’s success is following up with those she comes in contact with. Keeping in touch has been an effective way for her to grow her AIM business, espe-cially through regular monthly meetings that she hosts.

“I believe follow up is very important, and when people see how much you really care about them, they tell others,” June says.

“I have a file box, and I make a card out for each Member, customer, and cli-ent, with their name, phone

AIM Royal Emerald Promotion

June Poswiata– Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada –

royal emerald promotion

number, and any personal information that they have shared with me so I can always make conversation when I re-call them.”

The most important lesson that June says she can teach new Members is the principles of USSBT – Use the products, Share the products, Sponsor others, Build strong relationships, and Teach others to do the same. As part of the USSBT model, June also encourages new Members to be purposeful in following up and to always leave home with AIM product and business information to share.

June puts USSBT into practice in a number of different ways through her home business. She works out of her home so that she can always be on call and available for those who need her. She also spends time on the phone, calling Members in her downline who are near promo-tion (she checks her downline online) and phoning Members who have not ordered recently. Despite the busy schedule, June makes sure to take time for herself, allowing one day off each week for her to do the things she likes to do.

“I am able to work independently from my home with the freedom to work when I want to and being able to travel with AIM to beautiful places each year that I never dreamed possible,” June says. “The AIM Companies™ and the staff are always there for me and willing to help. I so appreciate the AIM family. They are a very important

part of my life.”June is also grateful for the assistance of

AIM Canada General Manager Rose Bird, Chairman’s Club Director Dr. John Shewfelt, Chairman’s Club Directors Muriel and George

McPherson, Chairman’s Club Directors Edna and Hilton Smith, and

many others in June’s upline.

Pain and swelling of wasp stingssubside with Cell Wellness Restorer™

In August 2004, I was working in my yard, and I reached

into the flowerbed to pull out some dead leaves. I dis-

turbed a wasp’s nest, and the angry wasps attacked my hand.

I had several wasp bites on my hand. It began to throb with

pain and started to swell.

I went running into the house and asked my husband

Pete (the skeptic veterinarian) to get a bottle of AIM Cell

Wellness Restorer™. We stood at the sink as Pete poured the

Cell Wellness Restorer over my hand; I rubbed it in, and the

pain and swelling immediately subsided.

Seeing is believing, so Pete could not doubt what he

had seen with his very own eyes. He made the com-

ment that wasp stings always itch later, but mine never

did. A landscaper was here working at the time, and

after witnessing this, he purchased a bottle of Cell

Wellness Restorer.

health issue

Born between the years 1946 and 1966, the aging

Baby Boomer generation has grown into the

Silver Tsunami. As recently as five years ago,

Baby Boomers made up more than 25 percent of the United

States population. The demographic is huge, and it has

reached an age when AIM products can be a big benefit.

Although in today’s economy many continue to work

beyond the age of retirement, the majority of seniors have

reached a time in their lives when the focus is on enjoying

the fruits of their labor. Traveling, gardening, golfing, and

other such leisure activities become part of the daily rou-

tine. The most fortunate of the Silver Tsunami are those in

good health. And those who have made AIM products an

essential element of their daily routine know that they hold

an anti-aging key for maintaining their good health.

Instead of reaching for prescription drugs, the use of

which is high among seniors, Silver Tsunami AIM Members

take whole food supplements and natural health products

that help to support healthy cells, prevent the onset of age-

related illnesses, and provide the energy and vitality that

you rarely see inside a senior care facility.

Prevention The AIM Garden Trio® (AIM BarleyLife®, AIM

Just Carrots®, and AIM RediBeets®) and AIM Herbal

Fiberblend® provide a solid foundation for preventing

health problems with a group of products that detoxify,

cleanse, build, and energize. These products and more can

be purchased in various combinations as Starter Packs for

all AIM Members. Choose the combination of products

that best suits your needs.

AIM LeafGreens® offers another source of greens that

is particularly rich in vitamin K. Research published in

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition indicates that

higher intakes of vitamin K may prevent age-related con-

ditions such as weak bones and hardening of the arteries,

which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Vitamin

K deficiency is linked to an increase in the incidence of

spontaneous cancer.

Strong BonesCalciAIM™ contributes to healthy bones, cartilage,

teeth, and gums with its blend of ingredients including bio-

available calcium (98 percent absorbable), magnesium, and

vitamin D. Breaking or fracturing a bone is a serious health

matter when you reach a certain age, and healing takes a

long time. Keep your bones strong with two servings of

CalciAIM daily.

Your body gets even more benefits from calcium as this

essential mineral is necessary for proper muscle contrac-

tion, especially the heart.

Strong Heart Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death

and disability in North America, so common sense says to

do everything you can to keep your heart beating and your

blood circulating.

The AIM Heart Health Starter Pack contains four

heart healthy products that support a strong heart and

uninterrupted blood flow. AIM CellSparc 360® provides a

Silver Tsunami … aging well


ID# 32288



supplemental source of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), the nutri-

ent that creates the initial spark of energy in every one

of your cells, and in particular, heart muscle cells, which

have the highest energy requirements. AIMega® supplies

omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) that work at

the cellular level as essential, anti-aging nutrients for cell

growth, function, and repair. The heart health benefits

from Omega-3 and -6 in AIMega® include improved circu-

lation, healthy blood pressure levels, and a reduced risk of

heart disease. AIM fit ’n fiber® contains 12 grams of fiber,

10 of which are heart-healthy soluble fiber. High soluble

fiber intakes are associated with lower cholesterol, reduced

blood pressure, and lower risk of coronary heart disease.

AIM CellStar™ Pomagrape contains a blend of superfruits

and extracts that are loaded with antioxidants and may help

improve blood flow and cardiovascular strength.

Clear Mind & VisionMemory loss and poor vision do not have to

be part of getting older. AIM GinkgoSense®

combines ginkgo biloba leaf extract, bil-

berry fruit extract, fish oil, and marigold

extract (lutein and zeaxanthin) to provide a

wealth of nutrients that help to improve your

circulation, boost mental acuity, and support

healthy vision. Defend yourself against the

aging process with GinkgoSense.

AIM’s powerful pair of AIM ProPeas® and AIM fit ’n fiber® can help you shape up for summer. If you are looking to

lose weight and live healthy, the Lean Team is your solution. Group Builder Shannon Jones from Springfield, Oregon,

gave the Lean Team a try, and she has been amazed at the results.

“In August, I started using AIM LeafGreens® and changed my way of eating. In about three weeks, I had lost 12 pounds.

I then added AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, and I dropped more weight.

“Family and friends were really notic-ing a change. My internal conditioning coach, Director Judy Rowe, had me then add ProPeas and fit ‘n fiber to my regimen. In three-and-a-half months, I was down 33 pounds. I went from a 3X to a size 16. I still have about 50 to 60 pounds to lose, but I know I can do it with my AIM products and with Judy’s help.

“I just turned 49 years old, and I am starting my countdown to ‘50 and fabulous!’ My goal is to lose 50 to 60 pounds by my 50th birthday. Each month, I am planning fun and exciting things to do like cross country skiing, whitewater rafting, hik-ing, sky diving, water skiing, and so on. I truly know I couldn’t be doing these things without my AIM products. I have so much more energy than ever before. My three sons cannot believe it. I feel I am truly coming alive!

“Also, I have been able to go off of my hormone replace-ment and Zoloft medications.

“Thank you so much for your amazing products. I am now full of life and ‘AIMing’ high.”

What a difference healthy eating habits and AIM nutrition can make.

Shannon’s commitment to whole-food nutrition played a big role in her amazing weight loss story. The four-leaf formula in AIM LeafGreens contains nutrients like kaempherol, which helps with arteriosclerosis. Herbal Fiberblend is an unbeatable colon cleanser, helping the body to assimilate nutrients and eliminate waste.

Add to those products the weight loss power of the Lean Team, and you have a healthy weight loss option that produces real results.

Shannon benefited from the fiber boost of fit ’n fiber and the healthy protein in ProPeas. fit ‘n fiber contains 12 grams of fiber, 10 grams of which are heart-healthy soluble fiber. Not only can soluble fiber help lower levels of LDL-cholesterol, it reduces appetite, providing a feeling of fullness that helps limit overeating. In addition, the high fiber content in fit ‘n fiber supports a healthy diet and exercise lifestyle.

ProPeas, a vegetable protein concentrate, complements a healthy weight loss routine in a number of different ways. Like fit ‘n fiber, the protein in ProPeas helps increase satiety. Protein can also help improve metabolic rate, allowing the body to break down food and convert to energy faster and more effec-tively. And protein has an impact on the creation of lean muscle mass, which helps burn calories.

Shannon’s Lean Team lifestyle has pro-duced healthy weight loss results. ProPeas and fit ’n fiber can do the same for you. If you are serious about weight loss, give pro-tein and fiber from AIM a serious look.

Program HighlightsHear from AIM-sponsored athlete

J.R. Celski, a two-time medal win-

ner at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics,

as he recounts his journey of realiz-

ing his childhood dream by winning

a medal at the Olympics. Directors

Bob and Sue Celski will present the

“parents’ perspective” of J.R.’s excit-

ing year, leading up to the culmination of the Celski

Family Project. To complete J.R.’s story, AIM is pleased

to welcome Dr. Bill Moreau, U.S. Olympic Committee

Director of Sports Medicine Clinics and J.R.’s case man-

ager at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado

summits left – Antarctica’s Mt.

Vinson and Asia’s Mt. Everest.

Life is GoodLife is Good … in beautiful Park City, UtahAs host of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, Park City

made an impressive debut on the world stage in what

many consider to be the most successful Winter Olympics

ever. Only 35 minutes east of Salt Lake City, Utah, Park

City is a fabulous mountain getaway, measuring two miles

from end to end. It just goes to prove that sometimes good

things come in small packages.

The nearby Wasatch-Cache National Forest, located in

the heart of the Rocky Mountains, offers endless opportu-

nities for backpacking, hiking, camping, and fishing. If

shopping is more your style, then head down

to Park City’s Main Street where

you can wander from store

to store for hours on end.

Whether you are hiking a

beautiful nature trail, bik-

ing through the mountains,

or shopping till you drop,

the cool mountain air will

be a refreshing escape. With sum-

mer temperatures at an average high of

80 degrees, Park City is the perfect summer

retreat!

The breathtaking beauty of the Wasatch Mountain

Range will be right outside your window at the four-

star Canyons Resort, seated at the foot of Murdock Peak.

Combine these unbelievable views with the excitement

of seeing your AIM family to celebrate another year,

and you have the makings of a fabulous convention.

So pack your gear and make plans to join us at

the Canyons Resort for AIM Convention 2010,

July 7-11. Renew old friendships and make new

ones, and learn about AIM products and tips

for building business relationships that

last. Relax in the crisp mountain air

FloraFood bacteria name changeNew labels of AIM FloraFood® contain

a change to the name of one of the three bacteria in the formula. L. acidophilus is now classified as L. gasseri after microbi-ologists were able to more properly iden-tify the bacteria strain. The label change doesn’t alter the benefits of FloraFood because the formula is the same, only the name is new.
