This is the dehydrated powder from the juice of sprouted, organically grown barley. Because of the sprouting process, there is no gluten in this product, so is suitable for gluten intolerant people.
Barleylife is as much a whole food as any fresh juice, due to the unique spray drying method, which takes place at room temperature and therefore maintains the complete array of nutrients, much in their original form. The barley leaves are grown under stringent conditions, the crops rotated and then cut at a certain height when nutrients are at their peak, juiced and chilled in the field and then spray dried.
Barley juice has been studied and researched for over 30 years and after looking at it for the past 10 years, I am now convinced that it can benefit a wide array of people.
Initially produced by Dr. Hagiwara, a pharmacist, who established one of the largest drug manufacturing companies in Japan in the 1950’s and 60’s, when he became ill from mercury poisoning from years of continual exposure to the metal in his laboratory. Due to ill health he was forced to give up his company and spent the next few years studying the properties of plant foods, especially green plant foods. His research proved to him that sprouted barley leaves were the most beneficial green food to humans. This cured him of mercury poisoning.
Here are some of the substances isolated in the juice of the barley leaves. 1983 a protein was isolated that has very strong anti-inflammatory qualities.
This would explain why countless reports and letters I have read mention the great improvement in arthritis, gout andfibromyalgia.
1985 another substance was reported that reduced hypercholesterolemia or unhealthy cholesterol levels. This research indicated that cholesterol would be reduced by up to 50%. Barleylife does appear to benefit people suffering from the problem of unhealthy cholesterol levels.
Other substances where found at the same time that resulted in a strong anti-ulcer effect, in particular stress driven stomach ulcers.
Anti-oxidants such as beta carotene, vitamin Cand another isolated at the University of California in 1991, 2’-0-Glycosylisovitexin, are found in extremely high, but safe levels and these together with an enzyme called peroxides have been shown to be anti- carcinogenic and anti-mutagenic. Peroxides actually breaks down and neutralizes Try-P1 and P2 a carcinogen in grilled meat and fish and 3-4benzypyrene, another carcinogen in tobacco.
Therefore people who smoke or eat cooked animal products would reduce their risk of cancer. In fact anyone with cancer or trying to avoid it would do well on Barley Greens.
SOD or Superoxide Dismutase has been isolated, which is an extremely powerful ‘anti-aging’ antioxidant. It converts a harmful substance called Superoxide, into water and oxygen, which is completely harmless.
The water-soluble components in barley leaf extract, has been shown to be very effective in lowering or balancing blood sugar. Which would benefit diabetics and hypoglycemic.
Research completed at George Washington University found substances that protect blood vessels from damage. In 1994, at the same University, a Vitamin E succinate was identified. This was shown to improve or modulate Prolactin and growthhormone. Prolactin is vital to breast feeding moms, so breast feeding Moms will benefit from taking Barley Greens. Growth hormone will benefit children and those that are overweight. Growth hormone also slows down theaging process
I have seen a lot of cases where children and overweight people benefit tremendously from Barleylife. (Children, not only from a growth perspective, but also from a general health perspective.) Children are very often picky eaters and may exclude whole food groups, such as green vegetables. This can result in them excluding a whole range of essential nutrients. Barleylife is a safe efficient way to get concentrated, balanced nutrients in a whole food form.
Fatty Acid Oxidase, cytochrome oxidase, peroxidase, Catalase and Transhydrogenase are enzymes found in Barleylife that help the decomposition of fats in the body proceed smoothly which also helps to promote correct body weight. Without these enzymes, weight gain results.
One of the most active ingredients in Barleylife is the very high levels of chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll bears a very close resemblance to hemoglobin. Dr Fisher, a Nobel prize winner used chlorophyll to cure anemia. Since then Chlorophyll has been used to successfully treatperitonitis, brain ulcers, pyorrhea and skin disorders Chlorophyll increases the function of the heart, the lungs, the intestines the uterus and skin.
Chlorophyll has been studied for its potential in... in stimulating tissue growth
in stimulating red blood cells in connection with oxygen supply
in reducing absorption of dietary carcinogens
Chlorophyll also... removes carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide
anti-inflammatory properties,
antioxidant properties, and
wound-healing properties.
The amount of chlorophyll inAIM BarleyLife(tm) indicates how green and healthy the grass was that produced it. Chlorophyll is also one of the most powerful neutralisers of heavy metals like mercury (from amalgam fillings) lead, cadmium, arsenic and cadmium. In fact many well known supplements contain them! These are environmental toxins that we are exposed to just living in cities and towns with motor vehicles and industrial pollution. Barleylife contains more than any other plant and that is one of the many reasons I take it.
Barleylife contains most vitamins, minerals and enzymes to maintain excellent health. It is also a great source of Vitamin B12. Here follows a list of some of the nutrients found in Barleylife
I am including an extract from the booklet “Raising the Green Standard” a booklet from Aim, which you can order as a member.
This is by no means a conclusive list of nutrients, just the most well known.

Chlorophyll is a marker of freshness. The amount of chlorophyll in a product indicates how green and healthy the grass was that produced it.
The amount of protein in a product reflects its level of enzymes and amino acids. Enzymes are markers of freshness and amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are the major constituents of every cell and body fluid.
SOD is an enzyme with powerful antioxidant abilities.
Peroxidase is an enzyme that reduces peroxide to water when SOD breaks down super oxide. Peroxidase is also a strong indicator of the freshness of the product.
Calcium is essential for bone development.
Vitamin A is an important antioxidant known to protect cells.
We are thrilled by these results (done by an independent laboratory) and confident that we will be able to meet and exceed these results in the future.”
To sum up;
Barleylife because it is a whole food, rather than a fractured nutrient, operates by promoting the best functioning of the body, rather than targeting a specific condition or symptom, and is beneficial for the following conditions or people
People with Amalgam fillings (neutralizes mercury filings and or gas)
Obesity or weight problems
Asthma
Eczema
Skin problems such as acne
Anemia
Libido problems
Constipation
Cancer
Auto Immune diseases such as Arthritis, Lupus
Lumbago
Gastritis
Diabetes
Hypoglycemia
High and low blood pressure
High cholesterol
Heart disease
Nephritis
Hepatitis
Cancer
Retards Aging of cells
Assists the body in any inflammatory conditions
Smokers and drinkers (have found that they stop these harmful habits on their own)
Halitosis or bad breath (the chlorophyll is the active ingredient here)
Eyesight problems or infections , such as sties
WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU WILL HAVE VARIOUS SYMPTOMS OF DETOXIFICATION, WHEN TAKING BARLEY GREENS. THESE USUALLY PASS IN 1-2 WEEKS.
DO NOT GIVE UP CONTNUE! IT IS WORTH IT.
Mark was nauseous for 2 days, I got sinus/flu symptoms for 2 days and woke up feeling a bit groggy on one or two days, Meredith had a skin rash for about a week and some of our staff and other family had upset tummy’s for a day or two. Our diets are really good and we exercise a lot, yet every single one of us detoxified. This proved to me that Barley Greens has a real effect on the body, even in a healthy person. We have all experienced a bit of weight loss as we have found our appetites reduced. (They were a bit too healthy at times)
Within 5 days the sun damage to Mark’s back, from years of overexposure to the sun (pre Natural Way Days) had completely gone. A healthy diet had kept it under control but now his back is as smooth as a baby’s bottom!
These are some of the symptoms of detoxification.
CLOGGED SINUS
CONSTIPATION
COUGH
DIARRHOEA
FATIGUE/TIREDNESS
FEVER
FLU SYMPTOMS
COLD SYMPTOMS
GAS
HEADACHE
IRRITABILITY
MOODINESS
SKIN RASH
STOMACH ACHE
SKIN BREAKING OUT, SUCH AS ACNE
ITCHY EYES
NAUSEA
SPLITS AT THE CORNER OF MOUTH
If you are worried about any of these symptoms, please phone on Mark’s cell 0823366747. However they go within 2 days to 2 weeks
How much to take?
I suggest you start with ½ -1 tsp. per day, taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. You can eat it dry or stir it in some apple or grape juice or chilled water. Take 20-30 minutes before eating. After 2-3 weeks you can increase the amount to 2-4 heaped tsp. Daily, depending on how demanding your lifestyle is.
What I’ve come to realize is that even on a perfect diet, we need something more to cope with environmental poisons such as fillings and pollution, especially from traffic. I believe that Barleylife meets this need. I have always advocated drinking organic freshly extracted fruit and vegetable juices as an extra boost to your nutritional intake. This is not always possible or convenient and Barleylife is organically grown, dried juice and is the ideal food for people on the move.
FURTHER WARNING AND INFO.
There are two types of Barleylife; one with kelp and one without. IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO IODINE, THEN TAKE THE ONE WITHOUT KELP.
Kelp benefits you in the following areas;
Thyroid problems such as Goiter
Obesity or overweight
Helps the Thyroid to function optimally, so that you have maximum endurance and energy
Promotes circulation, particularly in the brain resulting in clearer thought.
Contributes to better nourishment of the cell as it contains almost every known trace element and mineral, amino acids and some vitamins.
BARLEYLIFE® UPDATE
Over the years, you have heard AIM speak of "Commitment to Excellence." We
are dedicated to continually providing excellent products that will improve the
quality of people's lives. Because of our commitment to excellence, the 2003
BarleyLife® has greatly improved!
We are pleased to report that this
July marked the first full year since the introduction of BarleyLife®. The
results people are experiencing are absolutely tremendous. BarleyLife®'s second
year production, which just finished in New Zealand, yielded incredible
improvements. Visit our website at www.theaimcompanies.com to view a five-minute video of the 2003 New Zealand
BarleyLife® harvest and production.
SOD (superoxide dismutase) averaged
30% higher than last year, which were already the highest in the industry!
Instead of the 1060U/g average for 2002, the SOD in the 2003 BarleyLife®
production averages 1382U/g! SOD is a powerful antioxidant that helps combat
free radicals, it also helps prevent damage that is implicated in tissue
degeneration associated with aging and works as an anti-inflammatory enzyme.
SOD and all the other enzymes in BarleyLife® are naturally higher because of our
cold process technology.
What's more? BarleyLife®'s 2003
value levels increased across the board -- antioxidant activity increased 21%,
Protein 11%, Beta Carotene 20%, and Calcium 15%. This is commitment to
excellence, just as was promised! But we will not stop there. It is our
ongoing promise to continue to improve on the quality of BarleyLife® for years
to come.
There is more protein (amino acids)
in the 2003 BarleyLife® , which means more minerals and vitamins will make it
into the blood stream. BarleyLife®'s high protein content is a result of
getting closer to fresh-juiced barley. This means more of all the precious
nutrients our bodies crave are retained in BarleyLife® . Amino acids and
enzymes are essential to great health!
Our commitment to excellence is
evident in our technology. AIM invested tens of thousands of dollars in the
invention of a “real time” antioxidant tester to insure that BarleyLife®
contains the highest possible antioxidant content. Every stage from the leaf through the
finished barley powder is tested. No other company has this technology
of real time testing.
AIM's cold concentration process
that stores the juice immediately in the field produces the highest quality
fresh barley juice in the world. Immediate juicing and cooling systems assure
that the fragile chlorophyll does not break down while being transported to the
factory. BarleyLife®'s chlorophyll content averaged 662 mg/100g in 2003. We also developed an extensive testing
program, which insures there are no chemical residues while maintaining the
highest nutrient content to date.
AIM has continually worked with
third parties who have researched barley leaf extract for many years. This
research has just scratched the surface in understanding what's in the barley
leaf, which has resulted in the wonderful benefits barley juice users have
experienced.
More barley juice powder is
produced, used and sold by AIM Members than any other barley juice powder in the
world. Why? Because AIM Members care for people and these people are seeing
great results with BarleyLife®! And
because of the 2003 BarleyLife® improvements, your motto for the remainder of
the year should be "What's in store for 2004?"
In order for a network marketing company's
Members to really succeed, they need products and formulas that are exclusive
and not sold in retails stores. This is exactly what AIM has given its Members
-- "BARLEYLIFE®" EXCLUSIVELY.
If you or anyone you know have been
contacted by anyone promoting another green product. You can be confident when
you tell people that BarleyLife® far surpasses our previous barley powder in
nutrient levels, antioxidant content, enzymes and freshness! BarleyLife® is the
most affordable, high quality green juice product on the market today.
