Cranverry

Cranberry has a long history of use in folk medicine. Early European, Native American, and Asian cultures used it for treating wounds and swollen glands, for the prevention of scurvy, for the prevention and treatment of bladder and kidney stones as well as infection.

In addition, today’s evidence shows that cranberries may help treat and prevent urinary tract infections and reduce the risk of gum disease, ulcers, heart disease, diabetes and even cancer.

The nervous system controls communication in the body. Its leader is the brain, which allows us to think, decide, control our actions, and coordinate the ability to move, touch, smell, hear, and see. As with any body system, good nutrition plays an important part in seeing that the good health of the nervous system is maintained. AIM GinkgoSense™ helps maintain your neuro health, especially in regard to memory, concentration, and vision.

When we think of aging, we think of the obvious—wrinkles and achy joints, for example. We usually don’t consider things such as worsening vision or memory loss until we are well on our way to senior status. But we should. After all, the disorders that may go along with the aging of the nervous system are some of the most frightening problems we face—dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and macular degeneration, for example. However, there is a way to fight this “neuro aging.” Through the use of dietary supplements.

This unique combination provides the perfect way to maintain your digestive health, keep your digestive system clean, and experience other benefits that are indicative of whole body health.

Cleansing, detox, and herbs

The concept of body cleansing has been with us for centuries. Today, many health practitioners recognise the importance of keeping the body in harmony to prevent sickness; it is often referred to as cleansing or detoxification. Many health practitioners believe that as our world becomes increasingly polluted with toxins found in the environment and in the foods we eat, cleansing become more important.

AIM Proancynol 2000™ is an Immuno Health product. Use this product to help maintain your immuno-respiratory health.

For many years, most medical and health- related research was done on men, and it was assumed that women have the same health problems and needs. We now realize that this is not true.

The symptoms and progression of diseases differ between men and women. Men and women have unique needs due to their unique physiology, and each may benefit from different health strategies.

One concern unique, to men revolves around the prostate.
As men age, their prostate often changes. It may become enlarged or inflamed, which may result in a variety of difficulties with urination.

You can do a number of things to help maintain prostate health. Drink water. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods. Watch your weight. Exercise. And use supplements. One unique supplement to

maintain prostate health is pollen extracts.

AIM ReAssure™

AIM ReAssure™ is a unique product that capitalizes on the power of pollen extracts. It is an excellent supplement to support overall health and prostate health as men age.

The pollen in AIM ReAssure™ is largely gathered from the rye plant. Specially cultivated fields in Sweden are carefully monitored. Air surveillance is often used to determine the best time to harvest the pollen.

Once this is done, meshes are moved through the fields to trap the pollen. From here, a proprietary method is used to extract active substances from the rye pollen. It takes about 10,000 plant tops to produce one kg (2.2 lb) of pollen extracts.

How to use AIM ReAssure™

• Take 1 to 2 tablets at breakfast and dinner. You may take more or less, depending on your needs. Most users start with 2 tablets at breakfast and dinner and, after experiencing the desired results, use 1 tablet at breakfast and dinner for maintenance.
• Shelf life is 3 years, sealed. Close tightly after opening and store in cool, dry, dark place (70- 75 °F; 20.1-23.8 °C). Do not refrigerate.

Beets

The beet, as it is known in North America, and beetroot, as it is known elsewhere in the world, has been cultivated for many centuries. It has primarily been used as a vegetable but it has also been used for

wine and ale in parts of Europe. The Russians are famous for their “borscht,” a soup that uses beets to colour and flavour a rich, white stock.

The value of beets

One cup of raw beets contains phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and potassium as well as vitamin A, niacin, folic acid, and biotin. When these nutrients are captured in a juicing process, they remain in a form that is much easier to assimilate than synthetic nutrients. The iron in beet juice, in particular, is noted for being more easily assimilated than other forms of iron supplements. Potassium, in particular, is essential for all cellular functions. Along with sodium, it regulates water balance and acidity-alkalinity balance in the blood and tissues. It is often depleted with aging, in degenerative disorders, and with a highly refined diet that is high in sugar. Historically, beetroots have been known to have medicinal properties, specifically anti-hepatotoxic effects, that is, the ability to counter damaging effects on the liver. For the past three or four centuries, it has been thought to be beneficial for the detoxification of the liver, and it was used for the treatment of hepatitis. The exact mechanism by which beets support the liver remains unknown; however, theories suggest that they effectively limit fat deposits in the liver, probably because of their high concentration of betaine. Betaine is often referred to as the lipotropic factor because of this ability to help the liver process fats. Betaine also plays a role in reducing homocysteine. High levels of homocysteine are associated with cardiovascular disease, so betaine is thought to support cardiovascular health. Beets also contain biochanin A, a potential cancer fighting agent. Dr. Norman W. Walker (1981) suggests that beet juice is helpful for menstrual problems and more specifically during menopause. And in Indian medicine, it is used for coughs and infections.

Fresh fruits and vegetables

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) recommends that we eat five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables each day. However, many of us do not achieve this. Data collected in the Canadian Community Health Survey from September 2000 through February 2001, shows that 33.4 percent of Canadians 12 years and over consume five to ten servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Meanwhile, the American Heart Association (AHA) found that only 15 to 26 percent of the population studied consumes its recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. And while current surveys published by the NCI indicate that Americans appear to have increased their intake of fruits and vegetables, the average teenager only consumes an average of 2.2 servings of fruits or vegetables per day, and this includes fruit juices! This concurs with a study performed in the United Kingdom in 2001 by Hughes and Gay that shows similar figures for the average British teenager. These figures are cause for concern. While the fast-food industry is blamed for the “meat and potato culture,” two other reasons for the low consumption of fruits and vegetables are that they are perceived to be poorly prepared and to be expensive.

The value of fresh fruits and vegetables

Fresh fruits and vegetables provide fiber and nutrients that are necessary for digestive health, including phytochemicals and enzymes. Phytochemicals are simply plant chemicals that are thought to be essential to health. They have been found by the American Dietetic Association to be beneficial in at least four of the leading causes of death—cardiac disease, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. Enzymes are essential for the thousands of chemical reactions that occur throughout the body—the production of energy at the cellular level, the facilitation of digestion, the absorption of digested nutrients, and the rebuilding and replenishing of all that the body requires for metabolism to occur. Although enzymes are destroyed in the cooking process, they are present in raw fruits and vegetables, and juicing is the best way to ensure that we ingest them. Current studies have shown that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, with lean meats, and low sodium has significant cardiac benefits. Recent research identified the protective effects of fruits and vegetables against strokes. This cohort study followed a group of 832 men for 20 years and the results indicated that the amount of fruits and vegetables eaten was inversely proportional to the stroke risk factor (Gillman 1995).

Juicing

Juicing is separating the juice of a fruit or vegetable from its fiber. It is a means of receiving optimal nutritional benefit from the fruits and vegetables we eat. Although there is value in eating raw fruits and vegetables, juicing provides a means to ensure that we are able to ingest and absorb the maximal amount of nutrients available. Dr. Walker (1981) explains that a diet without fresh, raw vegetable juices is deficient. This is because when raw vegetables are eaten instead of juices, a large amount of them is used as energy during the digestion and absorption processes. Juices are ingested and assimilated within 15 minutes and this enables the nutrients to be used almost in their entirety for the nourishment of the cells. In 1976, Dr. Walker said, “Juices are very liquid food, mostly organic water of the finest quality with nourishing atoms and molecules in comparatively microscopic volume. It is the microscopic volume for which the cells and tissues are starved!”

AIM Redibeets®

The half pound of beets used to make a teaspoon of AIM Redibeets® is residue-free. When the beets are processed to separate the juice and its valuable nutrients from the fiber, the beets are not subjected to high temperatures that may damage their nutrients. AIM Redibeets® offers a convenient way to make juicing a part of your daily diet and help meet the NCI’s recommendation to eat five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables per day.

How to use AIM Redibeets®

• Take 1 tsp (4 g) up to 2 times per day. Mix with water, juice, or other members of the AIM Garden Trio®. Or, take 6 caplets (4 g) up to 2 times per day.
• Because beet juice can have a strong effect on some individuals when they use it for the first time (dizziness due to detoxification), it is suggested that you take the recommended serving. Do not exceed 2 servings per day without the advice of a health practitioner.
• Drink AIM Redibeets® immediately after mixing it.
• AIM Redibeets® is best taken on an empty stomach: 30 minutes before or 2 hours after a meal.
• Because heat and acidity can affect enzymatic activity, it is recommended that AIM RediBeets® not be taken in any of the following: cranberry or prune juice, carbonated drinks, or hot drinks.
• Close tightly after opening and store in a cool, dry, dark place (70-75 °F; 20.1-23.8 °C). Do not refrigerate.
