Welcome

Hello there,

Thank you for coming to visit our blog. On this site we are talking about the AIM Companies™ and the excellent health products that they make. We will also tell you about what these products have done for us personally and our friends and relatives.

It's no secret that the world is in a health crisis with heart attacks, cancer, diabetes and other serious health issues affecting us all over the globe, and medical science is still unable to provide any answers. Or is it?

If you are looking for the magic pill to pop, science is not there yet, but there is a string of research that is coming from all over the globe that is proving that the majority of these deadly health issues are choice diseases. In other words, you brought this upon yourself.

How you might ask? It's all about what you eat.

Science has proved that eating a high fruit and vegetable diet, with little animal protein and dairy is the answer to preventing all these deadly diseases. You can see why this research is not popular and therefore doesn't get the attention that it deserves. It doesn't change the truth however, so for the moment, it seems to come down to us, as individuals and the choices that we make regarding our own health. We can't trust the advertising telling us what is good, the doctors don't really know since they have studied medicine and it's effects on the human body not nutrition, and so it's up to you and me to make it happen for ourselves.

In his book "The China Study", Dr. Colin Campbell who conducted experimental research into nutrition and health, states that "vitamins and nutrient supplements do not give you long-term protection against disease" (Page 2) On page 94 he again states that family's with low vitamin C levels in their blood are more likely to have a high risk of cancer. He later goes on to say: "In other words, can a pill containing vitamin C and beta-carotene or a fiber supplement create these health effects? No. The triumph of health lies not in the individual nutrients, but in the whole foods that contain those nutrients: plant-based foods. In a bowl of spinach salad, for example, we have fiber, antioxidants and countless other nutrients that are orchestrating a wondrous symphony of health as they work in concert within our bodies. The message could not be simpler: eat as many whole fruits, vegetables and whole grains as you can, and you will probably derive all the benefits noted above as well as many others.

I have been making this point about the health value of whole plant based foods ever since vitamin supplements were introduced on a large scale in the marketplace. And I have watched in dismay how the industry and the media convince so many Americans that these products represent the same good nutrition as do whole, plant-based foods. As we shall see in the later chapters, the promised health benefits of taking single-nutrient supplements are proving to be highly questionable. The “take-home message” : if you want vitamin C or beta-carotene, don’t reach for the pill bottle-reach for the fruit or leafy green vegetable."

Enter AIM and its brilliant product range....

For 25 years the AIM Companies™ has been committed to providing superior nutritional products that support Whole Body Health. Aim offers a range of products that have been harvested with state-of-the-art equipment when their nutrients are most potent and alive. Within minutes, the leaves are juiced (not milled, as in many other competitor products) and processed using the most advanced and efficient cooling processing method for maximum freshness and nutrition. The juice is then spray-dried, using a special, low temperature process. This preservs the delicate balance of nutrients and phytochemicals. These nutrient-dense, whole foods become the ideal fast food.

So we can see that single nutrient supplements don’t work, but here is a range of whole food products offering the same ease and convenience as the single supplements.

I, Stephen, and my wife Denise used to be caught up in the vitamin pill web, with our own collection of side effects. We were both overweight and I used to have stomach ulcers, acid reflux, intense stomach pains, blood sugar levels that fluctuated like the Rand/Dollar exchange rate. Denise had migraines, mood swings, depression, PMS and bad skin. Yet we used to spend hundreds of rands monthly all in the name of keeping “healthy”

It wasn’t until a day in September 2004 that our road to true health began. I suffered a panic/anxiety attack which feels exactly like a heart attack. After being rushed to the emergecy section of our hospital, they sent me home 2 hours later with “you had a panic attack, go and see a cardiologist to be sure, but you should live." When we enquired what we needed to do to prevent a reaccurance of such frightening episode, the doctor on duty said “I'm not sure, perhaps drink more enegade, especially when exercising” We went through a period of 6 months where I suffered many minor panic attacks, many sleepless nights and another full on, severe panic attack in my car in peak hour traffic.

We began a health walk looking for answers, when we stumbled upon a lady by the name of Mary-Anne Shearer who is a leading health expert in South Africa and author of 7 books. We emailed her and she recommended I call her husband Mark, because he used to also suffer panic attacks. When I called him, his advice was to drop the caffeine and sugar, go and see a natural way consultant and take something called BarleyLife.

Sue, the Natural Way consultant we went to see, helped us sign up to AIM and order the garden trio (a pack consisting of BarleyLife, Just Carrots and Redibeets) which arrived the following day. Four years, after following Mary-Ann’s principles in her books and daily drinking a garden trio mix on a daily basis, mostly twice a day, I have fully recovered all panic/anxiety symptoms, am medication free and have lost 25kg in the process, all my other ailments, have dissapeared and I find I cope better with stress than those around me. The shaking, due to fluctuating blood sugar levels dissapeared a couple of months into changing my diet, cutting out he sugar, caffience and refined, processed foods. I also found the Barley to have a stabilizing effect on my sugar, and I feel great! Denise has lost 15kg, no longer suffers from her frequent migraines, no more mood swings, reduced PMS and her skin has completely cleared up to such an extent that she no longer blows the budget on the likes of expensive cosmetics, creams and potions. As a matter of fact she has gained the confidence to barely wear any make-up. She also had bad pigmentation on the side of your forehead due to teenage sunworshiping. Shortly after taking the barley she discovered this sun damage fade, and has continued to do so. We can honestly say that we have found a way of life, and products that back it up that we are so grateful for. We would never look back and only wish we had been introduced to this way of life earlier!

After 4 years of having changed our diets, we have noticed that the people that are most serious about health and implementing changes, are those who have suffered some sort of major health issue and are generally glad to be still be alive. Our advice… Don’t be foolish, bad health catches up to everyone. Sooner or later you will pay the price for your lifestyle choices, statistics show it’s getting us earlier and earlier in life. Problem is that so many of us never get a second chance, so go ahead and make some simple changes in your life and you will never look back. I know we never will!

Where do you start? Our advice is:

Please feel free to contact us for any further information that you may need. We would love to help you on your way to a truly healthy lifestyle.

Stephen and Denise Cross
