Irritable Bowel Syndrome and relief through nutrition

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.

Protect your health from winter illness

It’s a refrigerator out there! The balmy days of summer are a distant memory
as you step outside your door and face a cold blast of wintry air that chills you to the bone. Before you step out into the cold, there are three other steps you should take to recover from the onslaught of attacks on your immune system. It all begins with the 3 Daily Essentials from AIM.

3 Daily Essentials

Think GEF — Greens, Essential fatty acids, and Fiber — as the three daily essentials that your body requires to stay healthy. AIM provides all three in the economically-priced Daily Essentials packs.

Greens from AIM BarleyLife® or AIM BarleyLife® Xtra provide a wealth of vital nutrients from the juice powder of young barley plants—a whole-food concentrate to supplement a diet that should include lots of vegetables.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) from the organic seed oils in AIMega® provide a balanced source of omega-3 and -6 that your body must get from a dietary source. Your cells require a daily supply of EFAs to keep them healthy and to ensure that your body is functioning optimally from the inside out.

Fiber from AIM Herbal Fiberblend® or AIM FibreBalance® (CAN) provides an essential component of a healthy diet that reduces your risk of numerous health problems. AIM’s fiber products go beyond supplemental fiber with a carefully selected group of herbs that cleanse, detoxify, and contribute to regularity.

Rest

The rest you get from relaxing and sleeping is essential for staying well. If you are battling a cold or the flu, getting enough rest gives your immune system a helping hand in getting you back on your feet to healthily brave the cold.

Research on sleep, which largely remains a mystery of the human condition, shows that while you are sleeping, your body goes into improvement mode: repairing and regenerating tissue, building muscle and bone, and strengthening your immune system.

Repair

Your body finds the material it requires to repair itself in the nutrients that you supply on a daily basis. This is why it is vital to repair your body with only the finest building materials. AIM products such as The Daily Essentials are just that.

When you supplement your diet with nutrient-rich greens, essential fatty acids, and cleansing fiber, you give your body the material it needs to repair damage from inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune dysfunction, all three of which tend to increase during the winter months.

Restore

Whether you are recovering from an illness or a hard day, your body can restore itself to a healthy state. You can be a positive part of the restoration by taking additional AIM products to rest, repair, and restore.

The herbal formula of AIM Composure® provides a natural answer for relieving stress and putting your mind at ease for a good night’s sleep.

AIM Proancynol® 2000 is the ultimate antioxidant formula for preventing and repairing the damage caused by free radicals. The probiotic formula of AIM FloraFood® restores the balance of healthy bacteria in your intestinal tract—70 percent of your immune system is in the colon.

AIM can help you make it through the winters of life step by step. And remember, you do not have to be sick. Prevention is the key to staying well, so rest, repair, and restore.

If I begin to experience any cold symptoms, I increase my 2 teaspoons of BarleyLife twice a day to 1 tablespoon 4 times a day. Within 24 to 48 hours, I’m feeling tip top again. I have also been taking Herbal Fiberblend for years and feel I could not live without it. After talking to Rose Bird (AIM Canada General Manager) at a local meeting, I increased my dosage of AIMega, which I knew was good in so many ways for you. Now my hair is so soft and shiny that I rarely use any conditioner.

Most important, my husband Kevin was able to reduce his prostate-specific antigen (PSA) number from 7 to 3 after taking the Daily Essentials for one month. His specialist had said that diet would not make a difference and wanted to do a biopsy because a number over 4 might indicate prostate cancer.

AIM works in many ways!
