Turning nuggets of wisdom into successful health ministry

Maymie White—San Antonio, TX

In the late 1970s, Maymie White started searching for ways to obtain better health for her family. At the time, she knew about the benefits of individual vitamins and minerals, and began using them. But she really didn’t enjoy taking so many pills and didn’t notice any difference.

It wasn’t until 1987 that Shirley Barnes introduced Maymie to a green juice product and The AIM Companies™. “I was very impressed with all the nutrients in one product,” she says.

She immediately signed up to order the AIM products wholesale and started her mother on green barley powder and AIM Herbal Fiberblend^®. She quickly experienced improvement in her digestive health, and Maymie was convinced that this is what she had been looking for. “When I started using the products personally, my body knew the difference because they were easily assimilated. I didn’t like all those individual vitamins because I felt my body was not able to use them,” she says.

“When I started using the products personally, my body knew the difference because they were easily assimilated.”

When Maymie’s other family members and friends started asking her what she was doing, she shared the information and the products and they got results, too.

Trial develops into opportunity

A teacher by profession, Maymie stopped working in 1993 because she had developed cancer. She devoted her time to seeking God’s direction and began applying natural therapies to regain her health. “I was diagnosed and I chose not to use the orthodox treatment. I used lots of AIM's products, fasting, and a few other things. I did not go back to the doctor for verification of the healing. It took a number of years to regain my health, but I did begin to feel better and better from the very beginning of my lifestyle changes. It was a slow process. I’ve never gone back to the doctor.”

That bump in the road prepared Maymie even more for helping others. The more she learned about healing and applied that knowledge to her own situation, the more she was able to help others.

“The focus of my health ministry is to encourage more people to take responsibility for the care of their bodies.”

Growing a ministry

Maymie says she has a passion for finding nuggets of wisdom on caring for the body. She loves sharing the messages of health and hope. “The focus of my health ministry is to encourage more people to take responsibility for the care of their bodies.”

A self-motivator, Maymie realizes that some people get discouraged easily, and is determined to be there for them. Through personal contacts, e-mails, and phone calls, she shares information about the benefits of the AIM products on health.

Maymie does a lot of reading and research and attends workshops. She shares the information she’s collected with individuals and small groups. “I give people suggestions and guidance as they’re making their lifestyle changes,” she says.

She has found that most people are troubled by fatigue or lack of energy, constipation, and hormone imbalance. She focuses on cleansing, changing eating habits, and supplementing. Her fastest-moving products are AIM BarleyLife^®, AIM Herbal Fiberblend^®, AIM PrepZymes^®, and AIM Renewed Balance^®.

Maymie feels a great satisfaction and fulfillment knowing that she’s making a difference in others’ lives and says the greatest reward is hearing from grateful people who have obtained better health.

Now that she’s reached the Chairman’s Club, she doesn’t see her ministry changing other than to continue growing.

“The key to my success has been in seeking God’s direction and guidance in my health ministry as I share simple practices in everyday living God’s way. I am grateful for the privilege of serving others,” she says.

Personal pursuits

Maymie enjoys searching the scriptures for wisdom in the area of health, reading health books, traveling, and gardening. When she attends AIM conventions, she extends her stay for vacationing. She and her husband also visit their son and daughter, both out-of-state, as often as possible. She grows fruits, vegetables, and herbs, and uses the herbs in cooking, teas, and home remedies. She’s even tried making tinctures. “I love to have herbs around for their medicinal values,” she says.

In addition, Maymie has started writing a book, putting together all of the information she’s acquired over the past 20 years. It will include information on herbs, natural home remedies, and natural healing formulas. She has compiled much, but the writing takes a back seat to helping others. She says, “Right now, there’s just so many people who need help in regaining their health—a lot of my time is devoted to that.”
