16th Annual Ohio AIM Member Conference Shared by Keith and Charlotte Thompson, AIM Chairman’s Club Directors We celebrated our 16th annual AIM Member conference on October 25-26, 2019, at the Berlin Resort in Millersburg, Ohio. A good time was had by all for what we sometimes call a family reunion!

Having Members return this year with new Members was very exciting!

We appreciate all who took part and helped to make another Ohio Conference successful!

Over 180 people attended Friday’s evening event and around 150 were at the Saturday conference and catered luncheon. Our main speakers included AIM Members Reuben Barkman, Liz Walter, Dr. John Shewfelt, Joan van Rensburg, Loren and Kathleen Schiele, and Nicolas and Jessi van Rensburg, independent service providers for The AIM Companies™.

5th Annual Holistic Nutrition Seminar Shared by Dr. Yu-Shiaw Chen, AIM Chairman’s Club Director On September 28, 2019, over thirty people attended the 5th Holistic Nutrition Seminar workshop at the Educational and Cultural Center of Stony Brook, New York. An informative folder with datasheets on the fine AIM products was given to every attendee at the entrance.

Dr. Yu-Shiaw Chen presented “Recipe for a Healthier You”, with an emphasis on the importance of whole food nutrition and AIM supplements. Many attendees shared their testimonials, and AIM products were available for purchase.

Dr. Chen’s newly published book “Plant-Based Whole Food Recipes” became a popular item along with the homemade, twelve course whole food luncheon. The four-hour event concluded with raffle door prize drawings.

Many thanks to AIM Members Kathy Donnelly, Denise DeVito and Valentine Calcellare for co-sponsoring this event.

Testimonial

Hiking the Appalachian Trail Aaron Noakes spent most of the first 8 years of his life in and out of hospitals due to lung disease. He could never be outside in the night air. Then God healed him. This makes Aaron’s 189-day solo hike along the Appalachian Trail as an adult camping beneath the evening skies a testimony to His goodness.

Leaving Springer Mountain, Georgia, on March 27, 2019, Aaron began his adventure. Carrying a backpack containing a tent, a sleeping bag, cooking gear and food, Aaron hiked 2,192 miles of the treacherous and often dangerous Appalachian Trail. Only 1 out of 5 hikers make it the entire way from Georgia to Maine.

Climbing up and down the mountains of 14 states, Aaron navigated slippery boulders, cliffs, razor-sharp rocks, mud

bogs and rivers. On the long trail he faced insects, bears, moose, rattlesnakes and copperheads. He carried no medicine.

Aaron was never sick and had no injuries, just a few foot blisters.

Along the way there was a natural feast for the taking, including berries, edible plants and fish. His parents, Arthur and Barbara, AIM Star Sapphire Directors, sent several packages ahead for him to stock up on high-energy trail food. One item Aaron requested that was always included was the BarleyLife single-serving packets, easy to carry and mix while hiking.

Reaching the 5,267-foot elevation of Baxter Peak on Mt. Katahdin, where the Appalachian Trail ends, Aaron finished this monumental hike on the morning of October 2. His goal had been to finish before the blizzards came. The sky cleared for a brief time for his peak experience. Hours later, the snow began to fall.

Main Product Feature

New GinkgoSense Datasheet Now Available

GinkgoSense Reformulated It’s always exciting when AIM Quality Assurance finds ways to generate product improvements based on the latest scientific research. Beneficial changes have been made to the GinkgoSense formulation to further increase its effectiveness in supporting cognitive and visual function.

New Ingredients, Better Results

The GinkgoSense formula now includes curcumin, ashwagandha, black pepper and ginger, four natural ingredients that work even better in combination with ginkgo biloba, lutein and zeaxanthin.

Curcumin has been identified as the most active phytonutrient in turmeric, a golden spice used medicinally for over four thousand years. The antiinflammatory properties of curcumin extract may help to reduce inflammation in the brain. A UCLA study published in 2018 revealed substantial improvement of memory and focus in participants who took curcumin.1 Adding black pepper extract to GinkgoSense improves the absorption of curcumin along with increasing the anti-inflammatory bene­ fits of this natural health product.

Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb that helps the body to handle emotional 4

and physical stress. Being an adaptogen, ashwagandha may help to reduce the overproduction of cortisol, a stress hormone released by the adrenal glands.

Moreover, ashwagandha root has been studied for its effectiveness in enhancing memory and brain function.2 Ginger has been used traditionally for aiding digestion and is part of the GinkgoSense formulation to soothe the stomach.

Even More Pros

Along with providing the same scientifically proven, effective amount of ginkgo biloba, the new GinkgoSense formulation adds substantially increased amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin. This increase provides therapeutic levels of these two carotenoids that protect the eyes from the harmful effects of highenergy blue light.

GinkgoSense has always been a supplement for improving circulation to the extremities. With the addition of four new ingredients, the new formulation offers increased benefits. And by removing gelatin and fish oil, it is also certified vegan.

Testing, Testing, Testing . . .

Before GinkgoSense was added to the AIM product lineup, a number of Members who had been taking the old formulation for up to five years began testing the new one. Here are just a few of the positive things that were said:

Within the first few days of taking the newly formulated GinkgoSense, my husband was so thrilled because it completely cleared the brain fog that he had been living with.

I found the new GinkgoSense formula to be better. When I started, I noticed an effect on my vision within 24 hours. It’s markedly clearer.

Definite improvement, more clarity, better sharpness and awareness.

Great! I am calmer and sleep better even though I took it first thing in the morning.

Also, my thoughts are no longer muddled.

I felt a huge improvement in memory and mood. The old formulation helped with memory, but I feel like this new reformulation has helped even MORE with day-to-day and long-term memory. The mood lift was also a huge bonus.

Proancynol 2000:

Canadians Get Their First New Look!

Canada’s first newly labeled product has arrived: Proancynol 2000, one of the finest dietary antioxidant supplements available in the world. Every AIM nation will eventually transition from the former labels to the new rebranded look, and Canada is no exception.

Canadian Members have seen a variety of product labels over the years as a result of Health Canada’s Natural Health Products Regulations.

AIM Canada has been successful in getting product licenses for its nutritional supplements to be sold in the Canadian marketplace.

A Natural Product Number (NPN) on the new stylish Proancynol 2000 label indicates that the product has been reviewed and approved by Health Canada for safety, efficacy and quality. These determinations are a sure thing when it comes to the efforts of AIM Quality Assurance.

Same Formulation, New Look

The majority of rebranded AIM products will have the same formulations. The ingredients in Proancynol 2000 remain the potent, antioxidant-rich seven: green tea, rosemary, grapeseed, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, lycopene (from tomatoes), alpha lipoic acid and selenium.

Delivering diverse antioxidants, Proancynol 2000 helps to neutralize potentially damaging free radicals. Additionally, its combination of ingredients supports antioxidant recycling so that the active forms of glutathione, vitamin E and other important antioxidants continuously protect the body.

Proancynol 2000 has been used by AIM Members to support their immune systems for over 20 years. Its fresh new look arrived in Canada in January and will arrive in the USA this month.

ReAssure SP is a dietary supplement that supports prostate health with effective, natural ingredients.

focus

Once a man reaches the age of forty, his prostate gland can start to grow beyond its normal size, a common condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

In his fifties, a variety of symptoms can result, especially the frequent need to awaken during the night to use the bathroom yet having difficulty urinating.

GLUTEN FREE

NON GMO

SP Stands for Saw Palmetto ReAssure SP contains the berry oil extract of saw palmetto, a palm native to the southeastern United States. According to the American Botanical Council, although saw palmetto is mostly taken for an enlarged prostate, women and the elderly may benefit from its urinary antiseptic and adaptogenic properties.1

Pumpkin Seed Oil A 2015 study conducted in Germany demonstrated that the men who took pumpkin seed for 12 months noticed a significant reduction in BPH symptoms.2

Zinc This essential mineral is needed in trace amounts only, but zinc deficiencies are noted in men with BPH.3

Lycopene Tomato extract is ReAssure SP’s source of lycopene, a carotenoid that can help to maintain prostate health.4 bit.ly/BPHSawPalmetto • 2 bit.ly/PumpkinSeedEffect • 3 bit.ly/ZincProstate • 4 bit.ly/LycopeneEffect 1

Extra Help from

BarleyLife Xtra Shared by Jozua Scheepers, AIM Preferred Member Nelspruit, South Africa I am a 47-year-old practicing attorney, husband and father of four. I am physically active and generally have a healthy diet. I am very healthy and do not take any medication apart from painkillers for the odd headache. Nevertheless, I did not make it through a winter without coming down with bronchitis or other respiratory issues.

Approximately four years ago, Yolanda de Villiers, who is a friend of my wife, suggested that we use AIM BarleyLife. I am not a fan of supplements, but our entire family started using BarleyLife Xtra, and I’m really glad we did.

For the first time in my life, I get through winters without respiratory problems by taking BarleyLife Xtra. Our children, ages 11, 8, 6 and 5, are also very healthy and rarely get ill.

I recommend BarleyLife to everybody!

Back Pain Improves

Testimonials

Shared by Michael Golden, son of Joann Golden, AIM Member, Bayside, New York

I had been suffering from back problems and had difficulty sitting. I started to exercise and went to physical therapy. At that time, I took the Garden Trio and other AIM products. I tried to eat healthy and cut down on meat. An MRI showed that I had minor bone loss and I was told that I needed to exercise more and improve

my posture. I continued to use AIM products and do physical therapy.

I later took an online class by Dr. Yu-Shiaw Chen, AIM Chairman’s Club Director. To build strong bones, she suggested taking CalciAIM and reducing my protein intake. I began taking CalciAIM mixed with my Garden Trio.

I was surprised that it helped me feel better in just a couple of days!

Toothy Matters Taking care of your teeth and gums is another way of looking after your overall health. A healthy mouth is good for your entire body. Poor oral hygiene can lead to infections. The most obvious are tooth decay and gum disease. Severe forms of infection may become factors in other health conditions related to inflammation. AIM has a variety of products that can help maintain healthy teeth and gums, including CellSparc 360 and CranVerry+. Even if you look after your teeth, you may have a tooth problem at some point. AIM offers a number of natural products that can

help. AIM Preferred Member Karina Gerhardt-Strachan knows this from personal experience. A root canal that Karina had when she was quite young ended up getting infected several years ago. The tooth had to be extracted. “I had surgery in the morning,” Karina said. “For the rest of the day I didn’t eat anything.” But she did take a variety of AIM products, including the Garden Trio, Proancynol 2000 and PrepZymes, and this nutrition helped to alleviate the post-surgery swelling and pain. You can view Karina’s testimonial on the AIM Users YouTube page.
