AIM’s neXt generation speaks up

Matt Wilson was quick to spot the quality of the AIM products

Matt Wilson first discovered the AIM products about a year ago when he walked into his mother’s house and saw a canister of AIM Herbal Fiberblend® sitting on the kitchen counter. He picked up the jar and looked at it, and said to himself, “Wow, that’s a pretty good ingredients list.”

“So, I signed myself up with AIM to receive AIM Herbal Fiberblend®,” says Matt.

“I absolutely love it,” he says. But he admits, his mother did warn him about the taste. “I was willing to overlook it. I just knew that it was going to do a very efficient cleanse.”

Products that really work are important to Matt since he is a Registered Nutritional Consulting Practitioner, and likes to recommend effective products to his clients. So far, things are going well. At age 22, Matt Wilson, B.S. (honors), RHN, CNM, CB, CFT, is already successful in his brand-new practice, “Impact Health,” which is located in Huntsville, Ontario.

Matt estimates that about 85 percent of the clients he sees in his practice have bowel toxicity. Typically, he screens his clients with a simple blood test to determine patterns of overall health. “The main concern for most people is the bowels not moving. It’s so prevalent in everyone.” So, he recommends that his clients get started on cleansing with AIM Herbal Fiberblend®. “It cuts the case management period in half for most of my clients,” says Matt.

Along with cleansing, Matt is a firm believer in maintaining the proper acid/alkaline balance of the body. He usually recommends AIM BarleyLife®. “It’s the universal food. You could virtually live off of it. It works extremely well in improving the cellular environment.”

AIM BarleyLife® works so well that the difference is noticeable. He recalls a two-week period when five clients visited his office, and each client measured up very well on the blood analysis. Then, he found out that each client was a user of the AIM products. “All of them showed near-perfect results on their blood tests,” he noted. “That’s virtually unheard of!”

Such good results have further convinced Matt that the quality of AIM Herbal Fiberblend® and AIM BarleyLife® specifically are unparalleled. He does not hesitate to recommend the AIM products because he knows they are quality products that are going to work.

Chanele Padiachy earns success early in life

Twenty-year-old Chanele Padiachy, of Nepean, Ontario, is an AIM Director and was the proud recipient of the Grand Prize—a brand-new Cadillac CTS—which was presented to her at AIM’s June 2004 convention in Boise.

In addition to her career with AIM, Chanele is enrolled full-time at the University of Ottawa, where she is an honors student. Currently, she is in her third year of a five-year program to earn a bachelor of science degree in biopharmaceuticals.

How did the other students react when they found out that she had won the Grand Prize? “They were so surprised, and maybe a little jealous, but they were also very proud of me,” she says.

As a total vegetarian, Chanele tries to set a healthy example for her classmates, but she notices that students often reach for foods that are “quick and easy,” such as french fries. “Everybody knows it’s not healthy,” says Chanele, “but students like quick things.” That’s when she speaks to them about AIM BarleyLife®. “That, too, is very quick.” She usually brings AIM BarleyLife® capsules with her to campus just in case she needs a snack or an energy boost during her busy days.

Chanele can definitely speak with experience when she reaches out to others. She began to take the AIM products at the age of 10, when her parents, Megs and Ramila Padiachy, introduced them to the family. “I’ve used the products myself and I’ve seen the difference they can make, so I don’t really look at myself as a role model. I would just like to help people.”

The concept of helping others to achieve better health is something that Chanele learned early from her parents, who are AIM Chairman’s Club Members. “Just to see how they’ve succeeded with natural products has really impacted me, and that’s why I wanted to go into this business.”

Chanele has many more years of education ahead since she would like to pursue an advanced degree, and some day become a Naturopath, just as her mother has done. Chanele most admires her mother for her determination and hard work. “She never stops trying to improve herself.”

Mother and daughter are obviously alike. “I’m still trying to master it myself and learn everything there is to know,” says Chanele. However, most of the time, she says, “the products just speak for themselves.”

Eventually, she hopes to join her mother in professional practice, but until then, she plans to work hard. “If you work hard, and if you have good intentions, you will succeed.”

That’s excellent advice for us all. Thank you, Chanele!

George Deveney sets shining example for youth in his workplace

George Deveney proudly keeps the AIM products “front and center” of his desk for all to see. He also tries to set an example for his young clients and co-workers by setting out a fruit basket instead of a candy display on his desk.

His strategy seems to be working. “I get a plethora of comments,” says George, who works as an Outreach Coordinator for City Year Greater Philadelphia. Most of the people that George comes into contact with are high-energy, 17- to 24-year-olds who are full of enthusiasm and idealism. George helps these youth tap into their leadership abilities by placing them in civic, community service, and public school volunteer positions in neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia.

As an alumnus of the 2003 corps, George, now age 25, knows from experience how to reach and positively impact youth. And reach them he does — with the AIM message about good nutrition!

“If it’s not right there in front of you, no one wants to think about it,” says George, “but it will impact your life later down the road. And, that’s the biggest challenge—to see the impact at an early age.”

George was impacted with the message of good health at the early age of 13, when his aunt, AIM Royal Emerald Director Genevieve White and her late husband, Walter, took George under their wing—and into their home. While living with the couple, George began to use and enjoy the AIM products. Today, the AIM Garden Trio® and AIM Herbal Fiberblend® remain his favorites, and he shakes up a serving with grape juice every afternoon at his office.

“What surprises people most is that someone my age has such knowledge about health and nutrition.”

But, George is patient with his clients when they ask about the ‘funny looking’ green powder, and he tries to answer their questions as thoroughly as he can. Sometimes, he passes along an AIM data sheet (his Aunt Gene usually keeps him well supplied). Typically, he brings up The Healthy Cell Concept™ as a way to discuss nutrition. “It’s easy for people to understand,” he says. “Every day millions of our cells die, and they need to be replaced. The AIM products offer concentrated nutrition to do that.”

He also stresses the importance of exercise. And, that’s easy for George to talk about since he played sports all throughout high school and college. “You need to exercise to complete the cycle,” says George, who points to himself as an example. “I can say, hey look at me, I did it.”

While this very tall, former basketball player may be an example to look up to, he confesses that the biggest influence in his own life came from his Aunt Gene. “I’m extremely grateful to her…for her persistence, for being knowledgeable, for her lifestyle, from top to bottom, everything she has done has been worth emulating.”

In this case, perhaps imitation is the truest form of flattery.
