Enhance the benefits of fiber

When it comes to cleansing and detoxifying the body, fiber is essential. You get it from foods such as grain, fruit, and vegetables, but most people do not get their recommended daily fiber intakes. When you are not getting enough fiber, or drinking enough water, you are actually making it hard for your body to keep your digestive system clean and eliminate toxins and waste. This can result in negative effects on your overall health—for example, constipation.

Supplementing with AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, AIM fit ’n fiber™ (US), or AIM FibreBalance® (CAN) helps to put you on the road to regularity. Keeping your colon clean and functioning optimally means your immune system is kept strong as well.

Sometimes you need an extra herbal boost to relieve constipation or to support other body systems. That’s where AIM Cascara Sagrada™ or AIM Herbal Release® can make a healthy difference.

AIM Herbal Release® contains a unique combination of cleansing herbs, including boldo leaf, buckthorn bark, burdock root, cascara sagrada bark, dandelion root, and echinacea. Herbal Release helps maintain a healthy immune system by supporting the lymphatic system, which plays a central role in immune response. Each herb was carefully selected to help create a positive cell environment through the elimination of waste products from the body. Herbal Release may be taken with Herbal Fiberblend or FibreBalance (CAN) to achieve comprehensive detoxification.

In March and December of 2011, I had swollen lymph nodes. Both times, I treated the condition with Herbal Release. Within two weeks, the lymph nodes noticeably decreased in size; within another week the swelling was completely gone. I continued the Herbal Release another month, just to be safe. And I sometimes use Herbal Fiberblend along with Herbal Release.

- Mary Hughen, AIM Director, Molino, Florida

AIM Cascara Sagrada™ is one of Mother Nature’s finest laxatives. Derived from the bark of the cascara sagrada tree, this effective yet gentle herb has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for constipation. Cascara Sagrada can be taken alone or the contents of one capsule may be added to one serving of one of our fiber products. Please note that there is cascara sagrada in Herbal Release and in the U.S. formula of Herbal Fiberblend. It is wise to not exceed 1,000 mg of cascara sagrada a day, as an excess can cause an electrolyte and fluid imbalance. See product datasheets for more information.

I take Herbal Fiberblend, and in January 2012 I also started using Cascara Sagrada. It made a huge improvement for my digestive system. I had a big problem with constipation, but not anymore. I most definitely recommend that people use this product for the same issue as I had.

The story of Herbal Fiberblend founder Teresa Schumacher

Posted on by

It was World War II. When allied planes began dropping bombs on her hometown of Naples, Italy, fourteen-year-old Teresa grabbed the hand of one of her female colleagues and instinctively headed for the downstairs bathroom in the building where they were both working. The girls huddled together as the explosions continued all around them.

Everyone else in the building died during the raid. Somehow Teresa and the girl survived. For three days they remained buried in rubble; their only nourishment was water from the toilet tank. Eventually, rescuers dug them out from what was left of the bombed-out structure.

Seventy-two years later, Teresa recalled their miraculous survival as though God had a special purpose for her. “I don’t know what made me take the hand of that girl,” she said with a characteristic modesty that is often a trait of those with a powerful desire to help others.

As an AIM Chairman’s Club Director, a nutritional consultant, and, perhaps most notably, as the formulator of AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, Teresa Schumacher has succeeded in carving out a lifelong path that allows her to reach out and help people along the way.

The path took her from Italy to the United States after she married an American soldier. The year was 1945, and in the land of opportunity, Teresa embarked on a number of successful careers that included selling brushes, insurance, ladies’ undergarments, and health products. She and her husband started a family, and over the years they raised five children: Toni, Patricia, Joseph, Eugene, and Michael.

It was after Teresa had her first child that she began to have severe colon problems. “It was the change from a healthy Mediterranean diet to an American diet that caused it,” she explained. Even after a few corrective surgeries, Teresa still had severe constipation as her diet had not changed. Her health continued to get worse. “There was a year when I could not even walk. It was so bad that I reached a point where I didn’t care whether I lived or died.”

Not knowing what else to do, her sister-in-law recommended that she go to see a French couple that provided therapeutic massage. “They were hippies, and we became friends,” said Teresa. “They recommended changing my diet to include fiber from cereal, which I did until I developed Herbal Fiberblend.”

Teresa began studying herbs and proper nutrition. Using fiber and herb combinations, she started helping other people who had digestive problems—some of which were caused by parasites. Word of mouth about her successes traveled around St. George, Utah, which had a population of about 10,000 at the time. She was soon selling thousands of dollars’ worth of her natural remedies every month.

Around the same time, Teresa was introduced to barley grass powder from AIM. She began selling so much of AIM’s flagship product that it came to the attention of the owners of the company, Ron Wright and Dennis Itami. “Ron came to St. George, and we had lunch together,” explained Teresa. “After paying me, he left with six bags of my encapsulated herbs, which were part of my colon-cleanse program. That’s how it all began.”

After Teresa did test trials using AIM-packaged canisters of her formula and tracked successful results for nine months, The AIM Companies™ launched AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, which continues to be a top-selling AIM product.

Seeing as how Teresa found help for her health problem by increasing her fiber intake, it seems fitting that she turned this experience into something that would reach out to a countless number of people all over the world.

“I feel that God has blessed me by letting me live through everything that I have experienced,” said Teresa, “You never really appreciate what other people go through until you have been through difficulties of your own.”

The financial success with AIM has created a legacy for her family. AIM Chairman’s Club Director Toni Lund, her eldest daughter, plays a major role in the family business, including the computer end of things. Teresa’s other children are all AIM Directors who regularly use the AIM products.

Teresa’s strong work ethic, which she got from her own mother, does not allow much time for her hobbies, such as playing the organ, or oil and water painting. On top of being active in the AIM family business, Teresa teaches nutritional courses at Dixie State College.

Even though she has been advised to slow down and not work so hard, Teresa offers her own advice: “Try to stay healthy so you can keep helping people.” And helping people is Teresa Schumacher’s business.

Speedskater Liz Looby boosts her recovery with nutrition

Posted on by

AIM nutrition powered short track speedskater J.R. Celski to win a pair of bronze medals at the 2010 Winter Olympics and helped him recover ahead of schedule after a potentially life-threatening skating injury. Turns out, J.R. isn’t the only skater who has used AIM to return fast and strong from an injury.

Liz Looby from Rochester, New York, sustained a serious injury during a speedskating competition, leaving both her career and mobility in jeopardy. Fortunately, the Loobys connected with J.R. and his dad, AIM Director Bob Celski. A few days after the skating accident, Bob gave Liz a blueprint for a full recovery using AIM nutritional supplements.

“J.R. Celski came back with AIM nutrition to medal at the Olympics,” Liz’s father Michael said. “Liz is doing her best to set an example of her own.”

Liz’s skating career began following the 2006 Winter Olympics after she saw the U.S. speedskating team compete. Her prior sports history had included track, cross country, and skiing in high school. In Rochester, New York, she found a speed skating team that offered a learn-to-skate program. Immediately, she showed promise and competed in eight competitions in her first full season. Liz trained primarily as a short track speedskater.

After high school, Liz chose to attend the University of Utah so that she could be near the U.S. Speedskating team’s facilities in Salt Lake. Her speedskating career took off from there. By August 2009, she had qualified for the short track Olympic time trials. A month later, Liz competed in Marquette, Michigan at the same trials when J.R. was seriously injured.

During a 1,000-meter race in Milwaukee on October 3, 2010, Liz also hit a career crossroads after sustaining a devastating injury that caused extensive damage to the back of her right knee.

“According to the orthopedic and plastic surgeons in Milwaukee,” Michael Looby said, “her injuries included significant lacerations to her hamstring and several tendons and 95 percent severance of the tibial nerve, which is critical to the functioning of the lower leg and to movement and sensation of the foot.”

Orthopedic surgeons repaired several tendons, while a plastic surgeon using microsurgery repaired the gastrocnemius muscle and attempted to realign and suture the tibial nerve. In Milwaukee, doctors told her that it could take two years to know whether or not nerve regeneration would occur.

Liz responded to the injury much the same way J.R. did: with determination, focus, and hard work, and AIM products. Instead of coming home to New York following her care in Milwaukee, she insisted on returning to Salt Lake City to be around her friends and fellow skaters for emotional support as well as to be near the Utah training facility to begin recovery and training. Her enthusiasm to return to the ice was inspiring.

“Even while still in a full leg brace, Liz was back at the (skating) oval, peddling an exercise bike with her good leg and engaging in what she called ‘agility crutching’—attempting to navigate cones on the running track on crutches! “

Liz kept in good spirits, too. She attended her team’s Halloween party—leg brace and all—and went skydiving on her 21st birthday with friends.

At this point in her recovery, Liz and her father found out about the AIM products after meeting Bob Celski in October 2011 through their connections with the U.S. speedskating team.

Liz’s father believes that the key was getting on the AIM product so quickly after her injury.

“Bob called me with both empathy and terrific information about how J.R. and his family had put together a recovery program which relied in great part upon use of several of the AIM products,” Michael said. “We knew from J.R.’s experience that the therapeutic use of several AIM products in combination, proved extremely effective in the recovery of injured muscles and tendons, and we made full use of those as a central part of Liz’s recovery program.”

Even beyond recovery, the Loobys found that AIM products would prove beneficial for long-term use and the continuing regeneration of nerves, which was a problematic area of Liz’s recovery. The products Liz uses include AIM BarleyLife®, AIMega®, AIM CellSparc 360®, AIM LeafGreens®, AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, CalciAIM™, and AIM Peak Endurance®. The Peak Endurance especially proved valuable for the recovery of damaged muscles and tendons in the months immediately following her injury.

Liz’s recovery reached a milestone in October 2011, just one year after her injury. Liz competed in her first 500-meter time trial in long track speedskating, which has become her new focus on the U.S. team. Liz continues training to get a qualifying time for her return to competition before the end of the season (early March 2012).

“Good nutrition with the AIM products, good therapy and other treatments, and an amazingly positive attitude and determination on Liz’s part brought the muscles and tendons around,” Michael said.

“You will see that she has a determination and character much like J.R. Celski. We are hoping that, like J.R., the best is yet to come.”

Her recovery really has been remarkable! Doctors told her that she would never skate again, and I think that made her mad enough to prove them wrong!

Chromium yeast for blood sugar maintenance

Posted on by
Reply

AIM strives to source naturally-occurring and organically-bound
nutrients for our natural health products. We have recently
replaced our chromium source for AIM GlucoChrom™ with an organically-bound chromium yeast—the best natural alternative to our old chromium barley, which can no longer be obtained.

AIM avoided the use of other less appealing alternatives to chromium yeast, including man-made synthetic compounds such as chromium nicotinate or chromium picolinate. Many of our competitors’ supplements contain chromium picolinate. There is research
indicating that this form of chromium may cause genetic mutations.

As for choosing chromium yeast, a vital factor is the bioavailability of the mineral, which ensures that the body can use the chromium
and reap its benefits. Several studies have shown that organically bound yeast minerals are more bioavailable than inorganic sources of minerals.

As a matter of fact, yeast fermentation is one of the safest and most natural ways to produce and concentrate nutrients in foods. For example, the following AIM products contain nutrients produced from yeast:

Peak Endurance = ATP (yeast fermentation)
PrepZymes = digestive enzymes (from yeast)
CranVerry+ = beta glucanase (from yeast)

We chose the yeast, Saccaromyces cerevisiae, as one of today’s most researched organisms and has been instrumental to baking since ancient times. After it has been grown and bound to chromium, it is killed so that it can longer product viable colonies. Based on our research, when it came to replacing our chromium source for GlucoChrom, organically bound yeast was the natural choice.

Along with chromium, GlucoChrom combines vanadium, Gymnema sylvestre leaf, and bitter melon fruit for a synergistic combination that maintains healthy blood sugar levels by increasing the effective
action of insulin.

If insulin is not maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, the result can be chronic inflammation that can lead to disease. And if you are trying to lose weight, unregulated levels of insulin make it difficult to burn off stored fat.

For those concerned about high blood sugar or losing weight, GlucoChrom can make a positive difference.

Nutrition That Works! sign helped Colorado couple turn their health around

The AIM building in Nampa, Idaho, has long been a symbol for the staying power of nutrition. For AIM Members Ron and Mary Ann Hill, the building may also have served as a lifesaver.

“We were on vacation in the Pacific Northwest,” Ron said, “and we were coming through Idaho when we got into Nampa. Part of our discussion during our vacation trip was that I’ve got to do something different. I’m feeling horrible, my health is going downhill.

“As we were going by the highway there in Nampa, I looked up and saw a building with green stripes that says ‘Nutrition that works!’ I had a feeling that my problem was poor nutrition.”

The Hills turned around at the next freeway exit and made their way back to the green AIM building. They spoke with AIM employees Keith Duff, Linda Charters, and Darla Upton, who explained how AIM nutritional supplements could assist with improving their health.

“I said, ‘I don’t know what’s going on here, but I would like to talk to somebody about nutrition, so tell me what you’ve got and what you think,’” Ron said. “We were just tag teaming with all three of those individuals there, and for the next couple hours, every question I asked they had an answer.

“We had so many different questions, lead-ins and scenarios. It didn’t matter what I came up with, they had somebody who had overcome it.”

When the Hills returned home to Colorado, they began taking the many AIM product samples they had been given, among them AIM ProPeas®, AIM fit ‘n fiber®, AIMega®, AIM RevitaFem™, and AIM Para 90®. The results were incredible.

“Since we started taking AIM products, I’ve lost ten pounds, and Ron’s lost twenty pounds,” Mary Ann said. “It’s just the products and vitamins doing what they’re supposed to.”

The Hills’ excitement about AIM has extended into sharing the products with others. Ron and Mary Ann report that co-workers are always interested in what they are drinking, and the Hills are starting to introduce the products to their five children and eight grandchildren.

“Everything that we’ve tried has been collectively helpful to us,” Ron said. “Now we’re looking at how people are doing this as a business, and we’re wondering if we can do that too.”

Gluten-free diet may change your life

The symptoms of a person with gluten intolerance may sound familiar to many: sluggishness, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, reflux, and the list goes on. The fact is, gluten intolerance is one of the most underdiagnosed conditions in North America, and most people could benefit from a gluten-free or reduced gluten diet.

For those with gluten intolerance, their bodies cannot digest gluten, a protein that appears in wheat, rye, barley, and other grains. This leads to digestive distress and non-gastrointestinal conditions that can be uncomfortable and painful to endure.

An Idaho woman, Sherry, experienced the harsh side effects of gluten for ten years before discovering the root cause. Her many trips to the doctor over the years had yielded the same answer, “We don’t know what’s wrong with you.”

“I didn’t know what gluten was six months ago,” Sherry said, “but my daughter brought me this book, The Gluten Connection by Shari Lieberman (Holtzbrinck Publishers), and it just fit all my symptoms like acid reflux, heart palpitations, and sluggishness. So I went gluten-free!”

She also removed sugar from her diet and began supplementing with AIM products.

“It was suggested I take AIM BarleyLife® Xtra for the easily absorbed vitamins, like A, B, and K,” said Sherry, who mixes her BarleyLife with CalciAIM™. “When you have gluten intolerance, your intestines cannot absorb these fat soluble vitamins.

“After only one month, I noticed that I wasn’t tired all the time. My heart stopped skipping beats, and I didn’t have acid reflux. As for my arthritis, my fingers are not swollen anymore, and I have no joint pain.”

With a relatively easy transition to a gluten-free diet, Sherry is excited to share her positive results with others.

Celebrate national nutrition month with greens, fiber, and EFAs

March has arrived, and that means it is National Nutrition Month. Back in 1973, the American Dietetic Association began a week-long campaign that promoted the importance of making healthy food choices, practicing good eating habits, and getting regular physical activity. In 1980, the campaign turned into a month-long event as the awareness of poor nutrition and bad eating habits was linked to the majority of diseases affecting North Americans. The fact that healthy dietary choices can alleviate many chronic conditions emphasizes that the concepts of National Nutrition Month should be a part of a daily routine.

Providing whole-food concentrates and natural health products, The AIM
Companies™ has recognized the importance of nutrition for thirty years. AIM celebrates years of improved-health testimonials from people all around the world. When it comes to selling products, being in the business of helping people improve their health is a worthwhile endeavor and cause for celebration.

The Daily Essentials

In the continuing wisdom of National Nutrition Month, AIM offers the Daily Essentials for healthy nutrition: greens from AIM BarleyLife® or AIM BarleyLife® Xtra, essential fatty acids (EFAs) from AIMega®, and fiber from AIM Herbal Fiberblend® or AIM FibreBalance® (CAN). A healthy diet must include greens, EFAs, and fiber as each provides essential elements that maintain good health on a daily basis.

Get your greens!

The nutrients provided by greens from barley grass juice concentrate include vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, enzymes, and chlorophyll, all of which can be found in a serving of BarleyLife.

But there is even more to the story. Green foods such as BarleyLife alkalinize your body pH and create an environment in which disease cannot survive. Additionally, a major factor in the onset of disease is chronic inflammation, which is associated with an acidic body pH. BarleyLife greens provide anti-inflammatory benefits that help to protect your health.

To supplement your diet with additional greens, take BarleyLife—a daily essential.

Get your EFAs!

Omega-3 and -6 are two essential fatty acids (EFAs) that must come from dietary intake because they cannot be manufactured by your body. AIMega provides every cell in your body with the EFAs required for cellular growth, function, and repair.

Without essential fatty acids, cell membranes become less permeable,
making it difficult for nutrients to enter your cells and for waste and toxins to exit them. Along with visible signs of aging on your skin, an EFA deficiency has been linked to numerous health conditions, including arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

To ensure you are getting your EFAs, supplement with AIMega—a daily
essential.

Get your fiber!

Fiber cleanses and detoxifies as it slowly moves through your digestive tract, while making you feel satiated at the same time. Herbal Fiberblend or FibreBalance (CAN) provide supplemental fiber to ensure your daily fiber intake is sufficient for good health. The medicinal herbs in both products provide a variety of benefits including those that are anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, laxative, and vermifuge.

Fiber is essential for digested food to move through the intestines, where nutrients are extracted before the remaining waste is eliminated from the body. Without fiber, the entire digestive process grinds to a halt, resulting in constipation. A high-fiber intake is essential for maintaining good health and preventing health concerns, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar; and diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

If the Daily Essentials are not already a part of your diet, start this National Nutrition Month and make them an essential part of your day.

I take the AIM Daily Essentials every day. I started taking BarleyLife, AIMega, and Herbal Fiberblend about four years ago, and within 6 weeks, I began to feel a difference. Occasionally my routine is shaken up, so I cannot take my products (or I forget). I immediately notice a lack of energy, poor digestion, and pain in my joints. To me, my Daily Essentials are as valuable as the gold I am holding in my hand in the picture. Thanks, AIM, for helping me get back into form and to God for creating such amazing foods that heal us.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome and relief through nutrition

Posted on by

Testimony shared by Royal Emerald Director Ananda Russ, Plattekloof, Western Cape, South Africa:

In 1982, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, commonly referred to as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). I lost nearly fifty pounds in one month and was desperately ill. I was put on cortisone, as well
as a maintenance drug, and I had to go for monthly blood tests at my local hospital.

Over the years, I have been very fortunate in that my Crohn’s disease has been very manageable. You learn to adjust to the changes in your body and pay attention to what your body is “saying.”

One of the symptoms of Crohn’s is chronic diarrhea, and it could vary from four times a day to twenty-six times a day. But you learn to cope and make the best of a bad situation.

I stopped taking dairy products many years ago. I eat no white sugar and white flour is a no-no for me as well. Animal protein is kept to an absolute minimum. There are certain fruits that do not agree with me either, and cutting them out to feel better is not a big sacrifice for me.

I had improved my diet over a period of time and was doing fairly well. In 1998, I was introduced to The AIM Companies™ and their products, especially AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, which someone in my downline told me about. She gave me Chairman’s Club Director Teresa Schumacher’s book, and I raced through it from start to finish within an hour. I was completely convinced that this was a product that I needed to use.

I have taken Herbal Fiberblend consistently for five years, day in and day out. My digestive tract has been healed, and I can say with confidence that through God’s grace and the fiber and herbs in Herbal Fiberblend, as well as products such as AIM FloraFood®, AIM PrepZymes®, and AIM BarleyLife®, I am healthier today in my fifties than I was way back in my twenties.

My husband, Herbie, had diverticulitis, and since taking Herbal Fiberblend, he has not had any relapses. AIM and its exceptional food supplements have saved us from a lot of heartache and pain. I thank the Lord for AIM every day.

Whole-food nutrition and its impact on brain cancer

Posted on by

On February 9, 2010, Timothy Young left the East Texas Police Academy in Kilgore, where he had worked as an instructor for eleven years. Shortly after arriving at his parents’ home, he collapsed on the floor of the kitchen and had to be rushed to the hospital.

The doctors discovered a glioblastomamultiforme (GBM)—a brain tumor that grows aggressively and spreads quickly. The grade 4 tumor, which is the worst kind, measured 5.8 x 5 x 4.3 centimeters (2.3 x 2 x 1.7 inches), which is slightly larger than a golf ball. Since the local hospital was unable to handle such a life-threatening condition, Timothy was transferred to MD Anderson, a world-renowned cancer center in Houston, Texas.

Up until the very moment that he was told that he had a cancerous tumor growing inside his brain, Timothy had been in good health through his thirty-eight years. Born in Dallas, Texas, he survived childhood without ever having the chicken pox, stitches, or a broken bone. With no warning signs or symptoms, Timothy suddenly found himself with the prospect of having only six to twelve months to live.

“I felt nervous,” he admitted, “about the unknown.”

Timothy’s seventy-two-year-old father Larry and his sixty-six-year-old mother Linda have no family history of cancer although the risk factors for GBM tumors rarely include a genetic predisposition. However, the alterations of the genes that control cell division and growth are the primary cause of brain tumors. Even though the reason for gene alteration is poorly understood, the result is well-documented—the abnormal, unregulated growth of cells. At the same time, this type of cancer is more common in men over the age of fifty.

Thirteen days after collapsing at the home of his parents, Timothy underwent a seven-hour craniotomy to have the cancerous mass surgically removed. Follow-up treatment included 6 weeks of radiation and 210 days of chemotherapy from Temodar (temozolomide) capsules. “But it is impossible to kill every single cancer cell,” added Timothy.

A life-changing introduction also came out of his time at the M D Anderson Cancer Center.

“I was told about the importance of nutrition,” Timothy explained, “and I can’t remember who it was, but someone talked about a wonderful food supplement from a company called AIM.”

After doing some research, Timothy contacted The AIM Companies™ and spoke with Judy Clover, AIM Customer Service Specialist. He became an AIM Member and started taking AIM BarleyLife® and AIM LeafGreens™ in capsules. This combination of nutrient-rich greens can help to alkalinize body pH, which combats inflammation—a major cause of disease. “I found out that a key supplement for what I had is garlic, ” Timothy added, “so I also started ordering AIM Bear Paw Garlic®.”

With the importance of nutrition for good health in mind, Timothy also began looking at his eating habits. “I’d been eating too much red meat, which is acidic and causes inflammation,” he said. “I learned at MD Anderson that it is better to have an anti-inflammatory diet, so I switched to a more Mediterranean-style diet—more fish than meat.”

For years Timothy had been enjoying from four to six twelve-ounce cans of Dr. Pepper® soda every day. “I found out that cancer feeds off of sugar, so I began knocking out any food and drink with added sugar,” Timothy said, “but I’m okay with the natural sugar you get from eating foods such as oranges.”

As of February 2012, Timothy has lived a year beyond the predicted twelve months, and he is aiming for more. “My goal is to be the guy that they study because they can’t understand why he outlived their statistics. I’ve been cancer-free for two years, and I just had my tenth clean MRI,” exclaimed Timothy. “It’s like the line from the movie Rocky: ‘Every once in a while a person comes along who defies the odds.’ ” In fact, his neuro-oncologist calls him “a miraculous little elephant.”

Timothy feels that this entire experience has only made him tougher. “It is very simple. You go from left-side paralysis, to a wheel chair, to a walker, to a cane, to walking, to running, to golfing, to hunting, to fishing, and back to teaching full time at the police academy,” Timothy explained, as though it had been an easy journey. “I have to say thank you, Lord, for your healing power, and thank you, AIM, for your awesome products that have helped me through such a trying time.”
