One group of physicians sent her home to die. Another physician reviewed her medical records and can’t believe she didn’t die several years ago. Then there was a doctor who told her she had an inoperable heart condition and, literally, her days were numbered.

“The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated”

—Mark Twain, 1897, in response to his obituary mistakenly being printed in a local newspaper

Yoli Huron, a Star Sapphire Director from Texas, can identify with the famous quote by humorist Mark Twain in 1897 who awoke one morning to find his obituary mistakenly printed in a local paper. “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated,” he wrote to a friend.
For her part, Yoli takes what life has given her, heart disease, and is thankful she can talk about it today. “Being a heart disease survivor has led me to the most enjoyable and meaningful years of my life. I don’t take life for granted. I make sure that I tell anyone that comes as close as three-feet around me about my miracle and the AIM products.”

Yoli’s belief in the AIM products was immediate. “The first time I drank the AIM Garden Trio^® it was obvious to me I had increased energy and improved health.” Today she uses four AIM products twice a day and another 12 products once a day. In addition, she uses AIM Para 90^® two times per year, 90 days at a time. Her husband, Sil, also uses many AIM products, crediting them with lowering his blood pressure.

For many people, climbing nine flights of stairs would result in a shortness of breath. For Yoli, who is the definition of energy and enthusiasm, climbing that many stairs was just something she did. Then came a bout with shortness of breath. With two family members already diagnosed with coronary artery disease, Yoli took no chances. It was off to see her doctor. It was not good news.

She flunked a treadmill test, was advised to have emergency bypass surgery, and – for a memorable birthday – she had quadruple bypass surgery on her 50th birthday in 1997. She is not sure she would do it again if she had to do it over, but she only knew what the doctors were telling her – have the surgery or else. “I was not given enough information on the risks of surgery and I wasn’t properly informed about the likelihood of its success.”

Still, she had the surgery and set about recovering. But it just didn’t go well. Within a few months all four bypasses were becoming blocked. Nothing can be done, she was told. She was sent home to die. Not without a fight, she told herself. But first, she and Sil fulfilled a commitment to do some church work in Mexico. She continues that effort to this day, traveling to Mexico several times a year to assist with health clinics established to care for the needs of people, many of whom don’t have electricity or running water in their homes. Yoli does everything from making sandwiches for the sometimes hundreds of volunteers who travel with her group to counseling locals on health and nutrition.

Once she returned home, it was time to fight for her life. She began a six-day-a-week aerobic exercise program and immersed herself in a low fat, high fiber diet, supplemented with AIM products. “I survived and I thrived,” says Yoli. One of her physicians is Dr. Robert Dons, an endocrinologist in San Antonio. “I feel privileged to have assisted Yoli through her health crises,” he says. “I have encouraged her exercise program. As for her diet, it is all that it should be with less than four ounces of animal protein per day, avoidance of simple sugars, lots of high fiber healthy green vegetables and fruits. Of course, the AIM products have helped as well, giving her energy for the aerobic workouts as well as an extra measure of fiber.”

In April 2008 Yoli underwent a stress test and ultra-sound scan to check on the condition of her coronary arteries. “The results were normal and perfect,” reports Yoli. “My doctor told me she is amazed every time she reviews my medical records because, according to them, I should have died years ago. She said the most important thing is for me to continue living my life the way I’ve been doing the past few years in order to continue to maintain great health.”

That is exactly what Yoli is doing. She wants to spend time with her husband of 40 years, their daughter, her daughter’s husband, and their two grandchildren. Plus there are those trips to Mexico, gardening, going on cruises, visiting zoos with her grandchildren, and enjoying art in museums. She does not have time to dwell on her medical past. “I keep myself busy always doing something or helping someone. Every morning I am very grateful and thankful to be alive, thanking God for another beautiful day.”

She adds, “I take time to smell the roses,” something told to her by her father-in-law on his death bed. “I tell people to enjoy life one day at a time. Life is too short, take advantage of what you have and enjoy yourself with your family.”.

Her thoughts are never far from her dedication to the AIM products. “I want to help as many people as I can by giving hope for the miracle of life through healthy living and using our great AIM products.
