This is my testimonial and experience having used this whole food health product for about one year now. I had the common problem of heartburn and gradually ended up taking the maximum daily doses of both Zantac (an acid reducer) AND Tums (calcium tablets), together everyday, just to keep my heartburn under control. I realized that it would not be long before I found myself in the Doctor's Office. I knew I had to do something and finally at the prompting of a friend I decided to give the Barleygreen health food a try. To my amazement my heartburn problem suddenly left me and I have not taken even one Zantac for about a year now. And instead of taking the Maximum dose of Tums I now only take one or two tablets on occasion, if say I have a really spicy Pizza! Other than that I experience no heartburn. I haven't even had a cold either in the last year and my general health and energy levels have improved. This is my testimony. Of course one can only give testimony and cannot assert that any product can cure anything except perhaps the drug companies with their products.

There is another reason why I think this product is valid to use. This is the reason why I titled this page "Daniel's Diet". We have the Biblical story in the book of Daniel how the King had ordered his chef to prepare for Daniel and his friends the Kings diet of foods. Daniel however asked the chef in private if he would provide instead a diet of vegetables. He asked the chef if he and his friends could try this new diet for awhile and later when the chef looked Daniel over he noted that he and his friends even looked healthier than how they previous looked eating the Kings food. The Bible for centuries has presented to mankind many principles that have been shown to be valid and truthful. That was the one reason I conceded to try this health product because I knew from Daniel's story our Creator had given us some good advice on nutrition. Below is a fact sheet on this very good product and I am a distributor for it and present information at the close of this page on how to order some.

AIM BARLEYGREEN® Product Information Sheet GREEN GRASSES
Barley grass is one of the green grasses. Agronomists place this ancient cereal grass as being cultivated as early as 7000 b.c., probably in the dry lands of southwestern Asia. In the West, barley grass was first known for the barley grain it produces; there is written mention of the grain as early as 2800 b.c. in Babylon. Before green grasses undergo the reproductive cycle that creates the grains, they are in the grass stage, and the grasses contain about the same vitamins and minerals as dark green vegetables. When grasses are harvested at a young age, they have a different chemical makeup from their adult counterparts. For example, wheat grass has 32 g of protein per 100 g, while wheat flour has only 13 g per 100 g. Wheat grass has about 23,000 International Units (IUs) of vitamin A per 100 g, while wheat flour has none. We can see then that the young grasses offer us great nutrition. Barley grass is considered the most nutritional of the green grasses. After studying green plants for decades, Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara, the creator of AIM Barleygreen®, said, "It was clear to me, then, that the leaves of the cereal grasses provide the nearest thing this planet offers to the perfect food. For reasons of palatability, higher nutrient content, and favorable harvesting features, green barley stands out as the best among these."

NUTRIENTS IN BARLEY GRASS

Amino acids and proteins
Barley grass contains eighteen amino acids, including the eight essential ones--that is, the amino acids that we must get from our diet. The body cannot produce them itself. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are the major constituents of every cell and body fluid (except urine and bile) and are thus necessary for the continual cell building, cell regeneration, and energy production that we need for life. An added benefit of the green barley leaf proteins is that they are polypeptides; smaller proteins that can be directly absorbed by the blood, where they promote cell metabolism (the chemical changes that we need to live) and neutralize substances that are bad for our health.

Enzymes, vitamins, and minerals
Green barley leaves contain a multitude of the body's spark plugs, enzymes. Enzymes are the catalysts for the body's essential chemical reactions and are responsible for our digestive processes, for providing cellular energy, and for antioxidant effects. Despite their importance, most people do not get the enzymes they need. This is because heat destroys enzymes, and most of our foods, whether cooked at home or processed, are heated and the enzymes destroyed. Dr. Hagiwara believes that there may be thousands of active enzymes in green barley. This belief is based on tests that use the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) as a marker enzyme. If the marker enzyme is found in an active state, it can be safely assumed that other enzymes found in green grasses will also be in an active state. Green barley leaves also contain a wide spectrum of vitamins and minerals. See the following pages for a list of these.

Chlorophyll
Green barley grass also contains chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has been studied for its potential as a deodorant, in stimulating tissue growth, and in stimulating red blood cells in connection with blood supply. Perhaps most remarkable is the similarity between chlorophyll and the red pigment in blood. Research in the 1940s demonstrated that the two pigments react the same during breakdown.

According to an article in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (Jan. 4, 1995), chlorophyll fed to laboratory animals reduces absorption of three dietary carcinogens: heterocyclic amines (found in cooked muscle meats), polycyclic hydrocarbons (found in smoked and barbecued foods), and aflatoxin (a mold on peanuts). The chlorophyll formed complex compounds with the carcinogens while they were still in the digestive tract, limiting their bioavailability. Chlorophyll has also been found to reduce fecal, urinary, and body odor in geriatric patients.

Alkalinity and more
Green barley grass has a high alkalizing effect, which helps keep the ratio between acidity and alkalinity in our body fluids balanced. Our cells cannot adequately function if the pH (which measures acidity and alkalinity) is not in a narrow range. Most processed foods are acidic, and when we consume too many of them, the acidity-alkalinity balance is upset. Green barley grass contains buffer minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Buffer minerals neutralize acidic materials and can help people maintain a healthy acidity-alkalinity balance. Recently, research has unveiled many other possible benefits of green barley leaves. Extracted compounds may have hypocholesteromic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-ulcer properties. A new antioxidant, 2"-0-glycosylisovitexin (2"-0-GIV), has been isolated and reported to have antioxidant activity equal to or superior to vitamin E.

AIM BARLEYGREEN®: A TOTAL FOOD
AIM Barleygreen® captures the nutrients in green barley grass, and AIM Barleygreen®'s power is found in the combination of nutrients. AIM Barleygreen® is a whole food concentrate; that is, it is as close to its natural state as possible and thus supplies the nutrients in a natural proportion. As Dr. Hagiwara has said, "Barleygreen should not be recognized by discussing the amount of its vitamins and minerals. The era of focusing on a single vitamin or mineral is gone . much more attention is being focused on biological phenomenon."

HOW TO USE AIM BARLEYGREEN®< p>

Take 1 tsp (3 g) 2 times a day, or 10 caplets each day. You may use more or less depending on your nutritional needs. Many people begin with 1/2 tsp (1.5 g) or 2 caplets each day and increase gradually every 4 to 5 days.

The best results will come from placing AIM Barleygreen® dry under the tongue. Much of it will then be absorbed through the mucous membrane directly into the bloodstream. However, most people enjoy their AIM Barleygreen® in purified water or their favorite juice.

Drink AIM Barleygreen® immediately after mixing it in a liquid, since mixing it activates the nutrients. They begin to deteriorate within 30 minutes.

AIM Barleygreen® delivers the greatest benefits when taken on an empty stomach, which means 30 minutes before or 2 hours after a meal. However, there will be some benefit no matter when you take AIM Barleygreen®.

It is not recommended to take AIM Barleygreen® in any of the following: cranberry or prune juice, any carbonated drinks, or any hot drinks. You may take AIM Barleygreen® with other AIM products. Take AIM Herbal Fiberblendr 1 hour before or 30 minutes after taking AIM Barleygreen® powder.

AIM Barleygreen® has a shelf life of 3 years, unopened. Store in a cool, dry place (70ø - 75ø F; 20.1ø - 23.8ø C). Do not refrigerate. Do not use wet spoons or store then in the jar.

In extreme hot or cold, it is best to store AIM Barleygreen® in an ice chest or some other protective place.

Q & A
What is the difference between AIM Barleygreen® powder and caplets?
There is no difference; the caplets are made from the powder. Some people feel that the caplets are more convenient, or prefer not to "taste" the juice.

What are the nutrient levels?
The amount of nutrients in AIM Barleygreen® is roughly the same as the amount of nutrients found in the barley plant and kelp. We do not "pump up" AIM Barleygreen with synthetic nutrients. We believe "mega amounts" of nutrients are not relevant to AIM Barleygreen. AIM Barleygreen contains nutrients as they are produced in nature. We believe this is superior to synthetic nutrients.

What is the difference between AIM Barleygreen® with and without kelp?
The amount of kelp in AIM Barleygreen®, although small, has a dramatic effect on the product. Kelp is a densely nutritious food, which adds more vitamins and minerals to AIM Barleygreen®.

What is maltodextrin?
Maltodextrin is a natural, complex carbohydrate. It is not a simple sugar (dextrose, fructose, sucrose, table sugar, corn syrup, etc.) and does not behave like a simple sugar. It can be derived from potato or corn starch, and its starch component frees glucose across the human intestinal barrier in a time-release fashion over several hours. No steep rise or fall of blood sugar results.

Maltodextrin is used to help stabilize and protect AIM Barleygreen®. When the maltodextrin is sprayed on to AIM Barleygreen®, it forms a protective shield around the fragile nutrients. This shield is "broken" when you add a liquid and drink the product.

How is AIM Barleygreen® processed?
The barley used for AIM Barleygreen® is grown without using any chemical pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. The plants are harvested when the leaves contain the widest spectrum of nutrients, and a patented, low-temperature processing is used to convert the barley grass into AIM Barleygreen®.

Can I take AIM Barleygreen® while taking medication?
As long as your health practitioner has not forbidden you to eat salads or green vegetables, you can use AIM Barleygreen®.

Is there anyone who should not use AIM Barleygreen®?
Occasionally, people have an allergic reaction to AIM Barleygreen®. If this happens, cut back on the amount you use or try taking AIM Barleygreen® without kelp.

I started taking AIM Barleygreen® and I feel worse. Why?
When you make a change in your diet, your body often goes through a cleaning known as detoxification. This can manifest itself in fatigue, rashes, and headaches. It is your body flushing out toxins. For more information, see the Detoxification data sheet
