Asthma, in Aajonus's framework, is a chronic respiratory condition that is both allergy-related and emotionally related. It is not simply a disease of the airways but a systemic condition rooted in the failure of the body to produce proper protective mucus in the bronchi, bronchioles, and lungs, combined with a pattern of emotional suppression that physically manifests as chest tightness and breathing restriction.

Aajonus describes asthma as occurring frequently in individuals who are, or who feel that they are, repressed. The emotional component is not metaphorical, it has a direct physiological mechanism: suppressed emotions create tension in the chest, and that tension literally spends, or burns through, the fat stored in the bronchi. Once that fat is depleted, the bronchi become dry and unable to produce protective mucus. Without that mucus layer, the bronchi become susceptible to irritation from airborne substances of all kinds, triggering the cascade of symptoms associated with asthma.

The condition is thus not simply an inflammatory disorder, as conventional medicine frames it, but the result of a deficiency state, specifically a deficiency of fat and protein in the mucus membranes of the respiratory tract, combined with an emotional pattern that actively depletes the limited fats that are present. Asthma is, at its core, a condition of dryness in the airways coupled with an inability to form the protective mucus web that should prevent airborne particles from irritating the bronchial lining.

Aajonus also directly connects asthma symptoms to the broader category of allergic responses. Because mucus forms a layered web, he describes it as having 11 to 15 layers under healthy conditions, looking like cloth under a microscope, with protein fibers meshing together so tightly that particles cannot pass through, when the mucus is deficient or too thin, particles can penetrate to the sinuses and bronchial tissue and cause allergic-style inflammatory reactions. The wheezing, the coughing, the tightness are all manifestations of this insufficient mucus protection combined with the consequent irritation and the body's attempt to eliminate or contain the irritants.

In his broader context, Aajonus classifies asthma alongside allergies and other airborne sensitivity conditions, noting that it can produce symptoms including chest tightness, frequent coughing, wheezing or whistling sounds, and the feeling of suffocating.

Aajonus identifies multiple overlapping root causes for asthma, and he is explicit that all of them interact:

Primary Root Cause: Failure to Produce Proper Protective Mucus

Mucus, in Aajonus's framework, is a critical protective substance throughout the body, in the intestines, sinuses, throat, bronchials, bronchioles, and lungs. It is not a waste product but a sophisticated protective web made from proteins and fats. When a person is protein-deficient, or when they are not properly assimilating and utilizing the proteins they consume, the mucus web becomes too open, too thin, and insufficiently layered. Particles that should be trapped in the mucus and expelled instead penetrate the tissue and cause irritation, inflammation, and the allergic reactions that manifest as asthma.

He states: "Allergies are mainly from not producing proper mucus. Mucus is like many layers of material overlapping each other. You can have 11 to 15 layers. If your protein is not right, if you're not assimilating, utilizing them properly, the weave can be very separated. So particles can pass through and you may only have 3, 5 layers."

Secondary Root Cause: Fat Deficiency in the Bronchi

The fat stored in the bronchial walls is what allows mucus to be produced and maintained. When a person is fat-deficient, or when emotional tension (suppression) burns through the available fat in the bronchi, the mucus-producing capacity drops. Without fat, the mucus cannot form properly, and the bronchi dry out. A wheezing sound in the lungs, Aajonus explains, means specifically that there is no fat and that the system is too dry, and additionally that the mucus is not forming properly.

Tertiary Root Cause: Emotional Suppression

Aajonus identifies a specific emotional pattern, repression, the feeling of being unable to express oneself, as a direct physiological cause, not just a psychosomatic one. The resultant tension in the chest spends fat in the bronchi, drying them. He states that finding a way to express oneself creatively and to communicate helps to heal asthma, and that this is not optional but a genuine component of the healing pathway.

Contributing Cause: Vaccine and Pharmaceutical Damage, Including Inhalers and Prednisone

Aajonus makes a pointed observation that children with asthma who have been on inhalers and prednisone (he uses the term "pregnazone") develop the same kind of bronchial scarring that he has seen in people who have used muriatic acid. He says: "I've never seen anything like it except the children with asthma that have been on inhalers and pregnazone have this same kind of scarring." He describes their bronchioles as complete scar tissue, not a live cell in them.

Contributing Cause: Airborne Toxins Including Synthetic Fibers

Aajonus repeatedly identifies synthetic fabrics, polyester, nylon, and other plastic-derived materials, as major contributors to lung disease generally, including asthma. He describes how breathing in plastic lint fibers requires the body to digest plastic in the lungs and sinuses. He notes the case of Vietnam, where 80% of the female population wears synthetic clothes and the rate of lung difficulties is extraordinary by his observation. He explains that from a single synthetic fiber entering the lungs, a person can lose five pores of lung tissue. This kind of chronic irritation contributes to the ongoing inflammation and reactive airway sensitivity that manifests as asthma.

Contributing Cause: Alkalinity Imbalance and Dietary Factors

Aajonus observes his own personal experience with asthma and diet: "I noticed with asthma that if I ate a lot of green, I'd get asthma flare-up. And then if I started eating acidic, even like brown rice or tempeh or something, it would calm it down." He interprets this as the alkaline state in an already over-alkaline system aggravating the condition. However, he is careful to note this is only a temporary compensatory measure: "It'll work for a short period of time until you are balanced acidic. But if you go over into that alkaline side, you stop digesting anything."

Contributing Cause: Processed Food, Cooked Food, and Chemical Exposure

Cooked food creates industrial-level chemical reactions, Aajonus states, and these altered chemicals damage mucus-producing capacity throughout the body, including in the lungs. A person may be able to produce adequate mucus even on a cooked diet, but if they are then exposed to a particular chemical or given certain medications, the mucus-producing capacity can be broken down entirely and may never recover without dietary intervention.

---

Asthma fits within multiple principles of Aajonus's framework:

Primary: Root Cause / Terrain Theory, Asthma is fundamentally a terrain issue: the body's inability to produce protective mucus due to fat and protein deficiency, combined with the toxic burden imposed by synthetic materials, pharmaceutical drugs, and cooked foods. The condition arises not because of a pathogen but because the terrain of the airways has been depleted of its protective resources.

Secondary: Cooked Food, Cooked food destroys the proteins and fats needed to build proper mucus. The alteration of these nutrients through heat means they cannot be assembled into the complex, multilayered mucus web that protects the airways. Aajonus is explicit that cooked food is an industrial poison and that the altered chemicals produced by cooking are causative in the breakdown of mucosal protection.

Secondary: Detoxification, Asthma symptoms, including wheezing and coughing, can also represent the body attempting to eliminate toxins through the lungs, what Aajonus calls detoxification through the respiratory system. He describes how the body may route toxins out through the lungs instead of through the skin, and that redirecting this detoxification pathway (for example, through hot baths) can relieve asthma episodes.

Secondary: How to Live (Sovereignty), The pharmaceutical and vaccine damage to children's airways, the inhaler and prednisone scarring of bronchioles, represents the failure of allopathic medicine and the imposition of profitable treatment modalities that cause harm. Aajonus explicitly documents children whose asthma was healed through raw food and raw milk alone, becoming elite athletes, as proof of both the validity of his approach and the malevolence of the pharmaceutical approach.

---

Chest Tightness: Not a primary disease state, but the result of fat depletion in the bronchial walls combined with emotional tension in the chest. The tightness reflects the physical reality of dried-out bronchial tissue without adequate fat to maintain flexibility and mucus production.

Frequent Coughing: The body's attempt to expel particles that have penetrated the inadequate mucus barrier, or to eliminate toxins that are being routed out through the lungs. It is a protective and eliminative action.

Wheezing / Whistling Sounds: Specifically interpreted by Aajonus as a sign of fat deficiency and improper mucus formation. He is unambiguous: "It means you have no fat. You're too dry. Also could mean that the mucous isn't forming properly." It is a direct indicator that more eggs, more fat, and more mucus-building foods are needed immediately.

Feeling of Suffocation: The natural consequence of bronchial dryness, particle penetration, and the inflammatory cascade that follows. The airways are physically narrowed by inflammation arising from inadequate mucosal protection.

Allergic Reactivity (Asthma Triggered by Allergens): Reframed not as an immune malfunction but as a consequence of insufficient mucus layers, the particles that should be trapped by 11–15 layers of the mucus web are instead passing through 3–5 layers and making direct contact with bronchial tissue. The body's response, inflammation, mucus production, coughing, is protective and correct, even if uncomfortable.

Asthmatic Symptoms in Children: Not a genetic predisposition but rather a reflection of nutritional deficiency, particularly of raw fats and raw proteins, often compounded by pharmaceutical interventions (vaccines, antibiotics) that further damage mucosal production capacity. Aajonus documents multiple cases where children with severe, lifelong asthma completely recovered on raw foods, particularly raw milk, raw eggs, and raw meat.

Aajonus provides an extensive and layered food protocol for asthma, with specific foods, quantities, timing, and pairings:

Primary Protocol: Eggs

For any pulmonary problem, any kind of lung issue, asthma, anything of that nature, Aajonus states that eggs are the diet. He is emphatic: "If you've got any kind of pulmonary problem, any kind of a lung asthma, anything like that, eggs is the diet. That's all you need is eggs. Maybe a little honey and butter, but eggs."

The quantity is high. He specifies: "You need every hour to every half hour you eat an egg." He indicates this protocol may continue for a month to six weeks. The reasoning is that eggs are completely utilizable, digestible, and absorbable, requiring minimal energy for digestion and therefore directing all metabolic resources toward healing. He says: "You spend all of your energy on healing. Very little on digestion when you're dealing with eggs."

For a serious, near-death case (an emphysema/asthmatic patient almost 70 years old on machines), Aajonus recommended 33 eggs per day.

He also specifies for people in general with respiratory or lung concerns: 8–12 eggs per day, with 10–12 being the better target, determined individually by examining the person's hands and observing indicators.

Milkshakes for Mucus Production

Aajonus puts asthmatic children specifically on milkshakes. He explains: "I put him on milkshakes to make lots of mucus to clean out his mucus membranes." The milkshake formula is: egg, milk, cream, and honey.

When anyone comes to him with allergies (which directly encompasses asthma in his framework), he prescribes 2–3 milkshakes per day. He states: "Fat and protein together. Milkshakes are the best way to produce good mucus."

This is identified as the only thing he has found to produce healthy mucus: "Is there anything besides milkshakes to produce healthy mucus? That is the only thing I've found."

Raw Milk

Raw milk is specifically identified as having reversed diabetes, emphysema, and asthma on its own. Aajonus documents this as having been understood for centuries before the pharmaceutical industry suppressed the knowledge. He specifies that Walker Kieran, a child with asthma from birth through age 8, was put on raw milk specifically and became the number one male high school tennis champion in 2009. He states: "A tennis champion on raw milk."

When raw milk is available, drinking it with raw fish or with raw eggs speeds the healing process.

He recommends 1–2 quarts of raw milk per day in the context of serious respiratory and mineral-depleted conditions.

Raw Fish

Eating plenty of raw fish is identified as a primary food for healing asthma. He specifies it in the context of both asthma treatment and the treatment of the underlying allergic/mucus-deficiency state. Raw fish provides easily assimilated proteins for mucus rebuilding and helps heal and strengthen sinuses and mucosal membranes generally.

Raw Eggs

Beyond the intensive egg protocol described above, raw eggs are specifically listed as one of the primary foods that "help heal asthma" alongside raw fish and tomatoes.

Tomatoes

Eating plenty of tomatoes is specified as part of the asthma-healing protocol. Raw tomatoes may be juiced or made into a raw sauce. Aajonus includes tomatoes as one of the three primary foods (along with raw fish and raw eggs) that "help heal asthma."

The Orange Julius / Orange Smoothie Formula (for Lung Detox)

Aajonus describes an orange Julius formula for detoxing the lungs: milk, egg, honey, cream, and orange, specifically a whole orange (not orange juice) with the rind removed, blended. He specifies this can be had once a day. This helps with lung detoxification. It is also described in the pneumonia protocol context as 2–4 raw eggs blended with raw fresh orange juice.

Unsalted Raw Butter

Butter is specifically identified in the context of bronchial and respiratory conditions as a primary healing fat. In the bronchitis protocol (which shares mechanistic similarities with asthma in his framework), eating raw fats, especially unsalted raw butter, soothes the condition. The butter gets into deep tissues and resolves the fat deficiency in the bronchi.

He is explicit in distinguishing butter from cream for deep tissue penetration: "I can eat cream all day long. I can eat cream every day and I'll still just dry out because it doesn't get into my deeper tissues." Butter, not cream, reaches the deeper bronchial tissues.

For each meat meal (in the context of serious respiratory conditions), a minimum of 2.5 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of cream are recommended, or 3 ounces of cream minimum.

Raw Cream

Drinking fresh raw carrot juice mixed with raw cream or raw eggs "soothes and nourishes the bronchi very quickly." Raw cream is part of the milkshake mucus-production formula.

Fresh Raw Carrot Juice with Raw Cream or Raw Eggs

This combination is specifically identified as soothing and nourishing the bronchi very quickly. It is part of the broader bronchial/respiratory healing protocol.

Foods That Relieve Asthmatic Symptoms Specifically

Aajonus lists these foods as specifically relieving asthmatic symptoms: - Eggs - Unripe raw apricots - Fresh raw garlic - Fresh raw horseradish - Raw Jerusalem artichokes - Sunflower seeds (used as the nut in a specific recipe, referenced to his recipe book)

Raw Lung (Animal Organ Meat)

Aajonus describes eating raw buffalo lung blended with milk and a little salsa, and the next day feeling like he was absorbing and utilizing all the oxygen he was breathing as he never had before. He recommends eating raw chicken lung as the best way to remedy lung absorption issues, stating it usually takes two or three servings to notice the effect.

Naturally Sparkling Water

Drinking 2 cups of naturally sparkling water daily helps restore the electrolyte balance and oxygen level of the blood. This is presented in the context of the cheeses protocol (see below) for general allergy/asthma conditions.

Cheese Protocol for Toxin Absorption

No-salt-added raw cheese eaten for at least 10 days produces the best results as part of the protocol when there is detoxification occurring through the lungs (toxins being discharged through the respiratory system). The cheese absorbs toxins in the intestinal tract, reducing the toxic load that the body would otherwise have to route through the lungs. This is paired with the naturally sparkling water.

Redirecting Detoxification from Lungs to Skin: Hot Baths

For asthma relapses specifically, Aajonus is asked about the only thing that has worked, water fasting, and he rejects this as it dissolves the body. Instead, he recommends hot baths: "It stops the detoxification to the lungs. You stop the detoxification from the lungs just by getting in a hot bath. Throw it out the skin instead of the lungs."

He describes maintaining a consistent hot bath temperature (not cycling between hot and cool), with water entering at one point and exiting at another to maintain constant temperature, essentially a hot tub setup. He recommends a hot tub (not just a bathtub) for serious cases with significant lymphatic congestion.

Sport Formula for Mineral Replacement and Bronchial Clearing

In the context of serious respiratory conditions with plaque in the bronchioles, Aajonus recommends a tablespoon of vinegar with 3–4 ounces of milk, once every other day, around 6 o'clock. This is the vinegar component of his sport formula, which also helps break down plaque in the bronchial tissue. He also recommends 1–2 quarts of milk daily to remineralize.

Artistic Expression and Communication

While not a food, Aajonus includes this as a genuine therapeutic element with equal weight to dietary changes: "Finding a way to express yourself creatively and to communicate helps to heal asthma." This is not a supplement to the dietary protocol but an integral component of it.

---

Aajonus does not give a single fixed timeline for asthma recovery, but the case studies and protocols he describes provide a range of what recovery looks like:

Short-Term Symptom Relief

Hot baths can redirect detoxification from the lungs to the skin immediately, providing rapid relief from an asthma episode or relapse without the destructive effects of water fasting.

Acute/Intensive Protocol: 1 Month to 6 Weeks

The intensive egg protocol, eating an egg every half hour to every hour, is described as running for approximately "a month, six weeks" before the respiratory system is sufficiently healed. This is for serious cases where the person needs everything directed toward healing.

Case of Walker Kieran: 8 Years Old, Asthma from Birth, Full Recovery to Elite Athlete Status

Walker Kieran had asthma for the entire eight years of his life before being brought to Aajonus. Aajonus put him on milkshakes specifically to make lots of mucus and clean out his mucus membranes. By age 15.5, he was the number one male high school tennis champion in 2009. The diet was primarily raw milk-based.

Case of Valerie Mysick: Asthma and Severe Skin Allergies, Full Recovery to Elite Athlete Status

Valerie Mysick came to Aajonus with asthma and severe skin allergies, breaking out from anything and everything. By 2009, eating raw meat and raw milk, she became the number one female high school tennis champion. The timeline from initial treatment was similar to Walker Kieran's, representing multiple years of dietary recovery.

Case of Boy Who Spoke Before the LA Board of Supervisors

Another child with asthma came to Aajonus and was on the diet for six years. At age eight, he spoke before the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors hearing and stated: "I'm asthmatic and the only relief I have is with raw milk. Don't take my raw milk away." Subsequently (described as "just came out last week" relative to the seminar), this child was reported in the LA Times as number two in tennis championships in high school over the entire United States, a child who "couldn't lift his finger because he had asthma. Couldn't play sports. Now he's number two in tennis."

General Allergy / Respiratory Recovery Timeline

In the context of allergies generally (which encompasses asthma), Aajonus states: "I have always seen the symptoms of allergies mitigate over time, most cases being insignificant within 3 years." He notes that people may continue to experience allergy symptoms while stored toxins are detoxifying from the body over the course of years, even on the Primal Diet.

Aajonus's Own Bronchial Recovery

Aajonus describes his own bronchials as having been 90% scar tissue from heavy smoking. He went through enough pneumonias and spinal meningitis episodes to clean out his lungs 90%, but his bronchials remained 90% toxic. After going through a cold and a flu, he took an iris photograph and found that 40% of the scar tissue in his bronchials had cleared in one month. He describes this as beginning to get well faster once he started working with parasites and accepting the full detoxification process.
