Did you know: Plants use color as sunscreen.

“The more colorful the plant,” said Dr. Ralph Felder, “the higher its protection against un-wanted rays.” Colorful plants like tomatoes get their coloring from a naturally-occurring carotenoid called lyco-pene, commonly found in red and pink fruits. Carotenoids like lyco-pene rush to the body’s most vulnerable sunlight spots: the skin and the eyes.

Lycopene is featured in AIM products like AIM Veggie D® and AIM Proancynol® 2000. These

Natural protection from the sun

Shared by Amanda Flint, Preferred Member, Abbotsford,

British Columbia, CanadaSince starting AIM Bar

leyLife® in October, I ef-fortlessly lost twenty-five pounds and got a flat stom-ach, too. All this with no extra exercise and no more cravings for sweets and heavy foods.

Wherever I go, people stop me to ask how I did it so quickly. I went from a size ten to a size six in four months. My seamstress is now on my healthy plan!

The best thing is that I did it primar-ily for my health. I don’t have aches and stiffness, and my husband doesn’t cough and clear his throat all day. I now have a whole new perspective of food and the food industry that helps me avoid bad foods.

Twenty-five pound weight loss with BarleyLife, plus a flat stomach

healthful vitamin and antioxidant supplements fit with research sup-porting the use of natural products for skin care in the sun. Dietary anti-oxidants have been proven to combat free radical damage, the type that can lead to increased risk for sunburn, precancerous skin growths, and car-

cinoma. The combined daily

servings of Veggie D, ReAssure SP, and Pro-ancynol 2000 contain the bioavailable lyco-pene equivalent to nine tomatoes.

To protect your skin this summer, choose nature’s sunscreen. Go natu-ral with AIM supplements!

Frame Essentials and BarleyLife took away my joint pain

Mr. Peabody’s life changes with BarleyLife

AIM fit perfectly into our lifestyle

Shared by Jeannie Kelley

Preferred Member,

Sugarcreek, Ohio

I am fifty-three years old. I clean eight

homes and offices three days per week. Because of the repetitive motion of movements such as sweeping and mop-ping, I developed joint pain in both of my wrists, elbows, and shoulders. I also walked three miles per day two or three days per week, causing bursitis in my hips.

My doctor gave me a prescription for pain relief, but that didn’t always work, and in the back of my mind I always wondered what it was doing to my liver. I was introduced to AIM BarleyLife® by Chairman’s Club Di-rector Charlotte Thompson through a health talk she gave at a ladies’ re-treat about three years ago. I started taking BarleyLife, and slowly added several other AIM products, including AIM Frame Essentials® for my joint pain. I stopped taking my prescription

Shared by Xavier Hands, Preferred Member, McIntyre, Georgia

I have been taking AIM BarleyLife® for the past two weeks. I commented last week I had lost eight pounds in the first week of adding BarleyLife to my life-style change. Well this week, I lost another four pounds to bring the total weight lost to twelve pounds in only two weeks. In addi-tion to losing the weight, BarleyLife has given me a spark of energy, better sleep, lower cravings, and better con-centration. Overall, I feel better than I have felt in months!

My wife started a BarleyLife regi-men for three weeks. She can certainly

medicine and took the Frame Essen-tials instead. I took the recommended amount, but still had pain that kept me awake at night.

I finally asked Charlotte just how many Frame Essential capsules I could take, and she said, “They will not hurt you. You could take twenty-five a day!” Now I thought she was exaggerating the amount I could take, but I decided to give it a try.

I took five pills five times per day. I didn’t even realize they were helping until a few weeks later, when I realized I had no pain at all! I don’t take that many anymore, since my pain is under control, but if I am doing extra-heavy work, such as digging in my flower bed or carrying heavy items, I add more to my day.

I usually start with three pills and take another three sometime later in the day. I would recommend them to anyone, especially since many long-term prescriptions come with a long list of harmful side effects.


tell that BarleyLife is working. She has lost four pounds, decreased her stress level, lowered her blood pressure, slept

better at night, and lost the crav-ings for sweet tea, coffee, and cola.

We both have a family his-tory of cancer, high blood pres-sure, high cholesterol, and heart problems! We are not going there. That’s why we have been so in-

terested in building up the immune system and improving our health. AIM for us was a missing piece. And when we got it, it just fit perfectly with our lifestyle.


Shared by Rebecca I lost twenty-eight pounds in three months, thanks to Royal

Emerald Director Marlene Miller and The AIM Companies™.I started my day with one-and-a-half tablespoons of AIM

BarleyLife®, four AIM Proancynol® 2000, two AIM Ginkgo-Sense™, and two AIM GlucoChrom™; I had cereal with a banana and milk for breakfast. Around 10:00 a.m. I had a shake of AIM ProPeas® and AIM fit ‘n fiber® mixed with eight ounces of water. For lunch, I had a veggie salad or eggs with rice or sometimes just another shake. For dinner, I had more vegetables or salad along with a small portion of whatever I had made for my family. I always had a small snack in the afternoon, typically an apple or banana.

I did not eat bread, pastries, or desserts, and I did not drink soda. I ate smaller portions. I also took AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, drank lots of wa-ter, and tried to do twenty to thirty minutes walking every day and five to ten minutes on the rebounder every day. I lost an average of one-and-a-half to two pounds every week. The first week I lost eight pounds!

Shared by Barbara Yoder, Preferred Member, Sugarcreek, OhioAfter my son was born in July, I had gained a lot of weight. I was nursing and

knew I had to diet a healthy way with eating the right foods to maintain my milk supply. In December, when talking to Royal Emerald Director Karen Miller, she said her grandmother was having a weight loss meeting through AIM. I was very interested but didn’t decide to go for sure until the day of the meeting.

Eating smaller portions worked great for me. The first two to three weeks, I journaled what I ate, including my AIM products, and counted my calories until I knew my limits. I drank lots of water. Drinking as many ounces of water as half of what you weigh is important each day.

After one week, I lost seven pounds. I was elated! I had two shakes per day of AIM ProPeas® and AIM fit ‘n fiber®, which I

used as a meal replacement. I sometimes added frozen peaches. It made a very refreshing drink! Other times I had an apple, banana, grapefruit, or an orange with my shake. I ate a lot of salads the first couple weeks, but later on I ate more of what everyone else ate, just smaller portions. I took one to two AIM Gluco-Chrom™ capsules to help break down sugars before meals or if I ate sweets.

Exercise was very important for me. Whenever weather permitted I went on a ten- to twenty-minute walk, spring-cleaned my house, and occasionally helped with chores in the barn.

The additional AIM products that I used were the AIM Garden Trio®, once a day; AIM Herbal Fiberblend® and fit ‘n fiber, one to two times a day; AIMega®, four a day; and CalciAIM™, once a day.

Support is a big factor in weight loss. Thanks to Marlene for letting me be part of her class. Thanks to my husband and children for supporting me. I feel absolutely great, and I would recommend these products to anyone! We give all the honor to God!Testimonials should not be con strued as representing results every body can achieve.

Weight loss thanks to AIM products and accountability

Shared by Linda Tanaydin, Group Builder, Raleigh, North Carolina Mr. Peabody came to live at his new

home at age eleven. His diet at the time had been non-perishable dog food.

He had never had daily walks, and he had a hunchback. But his life was about to change.

He began eating a variety of fresh meats and vegetables twice a day topped with AIM BarleyLife®. In ad-dition to daily massages, he began

walking with his new dog friends. He is now up to one to two miles a day, and his back is now straight.

His favorite color? Green. At age fourteen, Mr. Peabody is growing younger.

Mr. Peabody’s advice to everyone, two- or four-legged: “You can change your life at any age! Life is good!”

Shared by Group Builder Thelma Hilliard, Cary, North CarolinaI have been taking AIM

arthritis. As long as I take my daily trio, I do great!

Excellent reports on AIM Mag-nificence topical magnesium

Shared by Ray and Ada Yoder, Directors, Topeka, Indiana

Our thirteen-year-old daughter, Sarah, had a bump on the inside of her wrist in the area below her thumb. She was told by the doctor it was either a cyst or a calcium de-posit. She rubbed the Mag-nificence magnesium gel on the bump—morning and night—and in just two weeks, the bump is gone!

Shared by Vicki Covington (shown above),

Group Builder, Joplin, MissouriFor the past seven years, I have had

trouble with insomnia and stress. I tried different things, and they always helped a little bit but never were a complete so-lution.

I listened to an archive of AIM Di-rector Lendy Murray’s webinar on magnesium deficiency and women’s health. Before, I had been taking baths with the AIM Mag-nificence™ crystals, and that seemed to help me sleep. After hearing Lendy’s webinar and realizing how much magnesium actually does for the body, I went ahead and ordered some of the Mag-nificence gel as well.

I was immediately impressed! I had a crick in my neck all day due

to sleeping wrong, so I put just a drop of the gel on and rubbed it in. Within thirty minutes, it kicked in. No pain, no more tightness, nothing! So I put some on my knee that is always giving me pain. So far, so good. I’m so excited to have a product like this!

The crystals and gel have become part of my nighttime routine. I put the gel on my legs and arms after a bath in the crystals. Each time, any pain goes away, and I quit hurting.

I feel a lot better. I also added the AIM Garden Trio® and AIM Leaf-Greens® and have started eating healthy. It’s all kind of working together.


Mr. Hampshire’s heart-healthy story impacts life of seven-year-old boy

Shared by Rebecca Henderson, AIM Wholesale Member, Waterloo, South Carolina

My husband and our children mix Bar-leyLife with water and drink it each morn-ing before we eat breakfast.

Recently, seven-year-old Joseph and I were looking at the February issue of Liv-ing Well magazine and reading about “heart-healthy” AIM Direc-tors Fred and Marlene Hampshire. I pointed out to Joseph that he

drinks BarleyLife just like Mr. Hampshire, and we talked about the importance of having a healthy heart and a healthy body.

Joseph, with a spar-kle in his eyes, ex-claimed, “Mommy! Can you take a picture of me and tell ‘em I drink my barley every day? I might be world famous in the newspa-pers one day, too—like Mr. Fred Hampshire!”

I was so blessed with Joseph’s enthusiasm and joy. It is encour-aging that he sees and reads about people who inspire him to make healthy choices. I am asking God to teach him while he is young, and I am praying he

and his sisters will make healthy choices and live long, healthy lives.

Thanks for all you do to help people live well.


Cell Wellness Restorer to the rescue

Shared by Dana and Anthony Arcuri,

Wholesale Members, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I wanted to share with you that I had an amazing response from using Cell Wellness Restorer (CWR) on a brown mole located on my back. The mole was brand new and I was worried that it was cancerous. I needed to go to the dermatologist to have it examined.

I feared that the dermatologist would want to do a skin biopsy so I decided to try something natural. About one month ago, I started applying CWR to the mole as well as my fibromyalgia area’s that hurt. I noticed right away that I was sleeping better and my body didn’t ache as badly as it usually does.

Two weeks ago, I questioned if CWR was helping with the mole. Un-

certain, I decided to purchase Frank-incense essential oil to use as another option. When I returned home from the store and was ready to apply the essen-tial oil, I was shocked to discover the ugly brown mole was no longer on my back. Immediately I called my husband and daughter into my room to check my back to see if they could see the brown mole. They both said, “It’s gone!”

Words cannot express my gratitude for this remarkable healing, especially from skin cancer and an unsightly scar. The good news is that following this miraculous healing, I experienced an-other positive result from using CWR.

On Friday, April 26th, after return-ing home from a church function, I took a shower to prepare for bed. While I was drying off, I noticed a large blue mark on my right upper leg. It was the size of a half dollar, extended, warm to touch, painful, and there were strange veins running through it. Prior to going to church, it was not on my leg.

My main concern was that it could be a blood clot since my dad’s side of the family has serious heart disease. I was very worried so my husband took me to the emergency room. The ER doctor ordered a sonogram and ruled out a blood clot. He was not positive about what it was, but said that it wasn’t a rash or infection. He said this strange bluish mark on my leg looked like someone punched me very hard.

As a fibromyalgia sufferer, I guaran-

tee you that if I endured an injury to sustain a serious bruise, I would have known it because my body is very sen-sitive. The truth of the matter is that I didn’t have an injury and there was no explanation to how I had this painful mark. The ER physician suggested I apply ice packs and take ibuprofen for pain. He mentioned that if my condi-tion became worse to return to the ER.

When I arrived home, I decided to apply CWR to my leg as well as apply ice. Normally, when I do bruise from an injury, the bruise lasts at least one month. I’m not sure if it’s due to fi-bromyalgia or if it’s just my body, but I never heal quickly from scratches, bruises, or any type of wounds.

Within one week of applying CWR on my leg, I noticed an incredible re-duction in pain and swelling. Also, the blue color began to change to yellow. By week two, this area on my leg was practically healed. Currently, there is no pain, no swelling, and no veins run-ning through it. Visually, it’s hard to see, unless you examine my leg closely.

No doubt, it’s been a very amazing transition in such a short amount of time! If nothing else, I’m sold on the powerful healing properties of CWR! This is one quality product that I will not go without!
