Cirrhosis
DigestiveCirrhosisAlso known as Cirrhosis

Cirrhosis of the liver is, in Aajonus's framework, a condition of **degeneration and hardening of the liver tissue**. He describes it as a condition in which the liver tissue has become a near-solid mass of scarred, cirrhosed tissue. In the most advanced cases he witnessed, he described the liver as "almost a solid mass, cirrhosed tissue", meaning the functional, protein-rich, working liver cells have been replaced with hardened scar tissue that cannot perform the liver's one proper job: manufacturing bile.

Aajonus's Definition

Cirrhosis of the liver is, in Aajonus's framework, a condition of degeneration and hardening of the liver tissue. He describes it as a condition in which the liver tissue has become a near-solid mass of scarred, cirrhosed tissue. In the most advanced cases he witnessed, he described the liver as "almost a solid mass, cirrhosed tissue", meaning the functional, protein-rich, working liver cells have been replaced with hardened scar tissue that cannot perform the liver's one proper job: manufacturing bile.

Aajonus distinguishes cirrhosis from the category of volatile toxic conditions caused by excess hormone-related toxins, yet he explicitly states that cirrhosis itself is still "a volatile toxic condition," meaning the underlying toxicity is still of the volatile, caustic type, it simply arrived through a different pathway than the hormonal route. He says it is "usually accompanied by frequent nausea."

In his iridology framework, Aajonus identifies cirrhosis through a very specific iris sign: a brown spot without fibers in the liver zone of the iris. In his teaching on iridology, he states: "A brown spot without fibers means that probably the person has cirrhosis of the liver." He contrasts this with other iris markings that have fibers present, which would indicate different liver pathologies.

He also approaches cirrhosis from the standpoint of what the liver actually is and does. In his framework, the liver's sole proper job is to manufacture bile, specifically, to produce 60 varieties of cholesterol through that bile: one-third to give the body energy and strength, one-third to lubricate and protect the body, and one-third to cleanse the body. When the liver becomes diseased or cirrhosed, none of these cholesterol varieties are properly formed, fat-related problems cascade throughout the entire system, and the body begins to suffer compounding consequences.

He further explains that the liver is "mainly a protein body, it's not a fat body," and that "the liver is the most concentrated protein of anywhere else in the body except the heart." This protein nature of the liver is critical to understanding both how it becomes cirrhosed and how it heals: it cannot recover without protein, and it is protein deficiency in conjunction with toxicity that creates the hardening.

Root Cause

Root Cause

Aajonus identifies several overlapping root causes of cirrhosis, all traceable to his core framework of accumulated toxicity damaging tissue faster than the body can repair it:

Alcohol and High-Sugar Diets The most commonly referenced cause in his framework is alcohol, consumed directly or manufactured internally. He states explicitly that cirrhosis looks "just like you've been an alcoholic and burned the scar tissue, alcohol burned." He adds a critical secondary pathway: "It could be from your body manufacturing too much alcohol from too much throat and too much, any carbohydrate can do it." This means that even without drinking alcohol, a high-carbohydrate diet or a fruitarian diet can produce enough internally fermented alcohol to harden the liver. He says: "Sometimes I find that some fruitarians will have liver damage like that because there's too much sugar that turns into alcohol that hardens the liver."
Industrial Chemicals and Heavy Metals Aajonus observed that toxic metals and industrial chemicals, welding fumes, solvents, paints, metal shavings, pesticides, vaccines, lodge in the liver and poison it. He describes cases where welding work, cotton gin chemical exposure, and vaccine injections all contributed to liver breakdown. In one iridology reading he states: "It's basically poisoned your liver" in reference to industrial metals found stored in the liver zone.
Overload of Work, The Liver Doing Five Jobs Instead of One Aajonus articulates a critical systemic cause: in modern humans, the liver has been conscripted into doing multiple jobs it was never designed to do. "The liver is now, because it's so toxic, becoming a filter, like a kidney. It's doing a lot of activity that it wasn't meant to do." He says: "Most people's livers are breaking down because they're doing five jobs instead of one." The liver was designed to make bile and nothing more. The blood is being made to do two or three jobs instead of one. This overwork causes chronic exhaustion of the liver, leading to scarring and cirrhosis over time.
Cooked Fats and Toxic Fats When the liver cannot produce good bile because it is overloaded with toxins, cooked and toxic fats cannot be processed. The person eats fat but cannot be satisfied because the 60 varieties of cholesterol are not being properly formed. This drives further liver strain and accumulation of hardened, improperly processed material.
Bile Becoming a Toxic Medium In cases of extreme liver distress approaching cirrhosis, Aajonus describes the body producing bile in place of fat to deal with systemic toxins, creating a condition where bile becomes toxic and pervasive throughout the body, reaching the skin (causing psoriasis, lesions, impetigo-like conditions) and disrupting healing everywhere.
Pasteurized Dairy, Medications, and Chemicals Though he discusses this more directly under jaundice, these same factors, pasteurized dairy, most medications, and chemicals, "complicate liver problems" and contribute to the cumulative toxic load that produces cirrhosis over time.

Why This Happens

Why This Happens

Cirrhosis sits at the intersection of several of Aajonus's framework principles:

Root Cause / Terrain Theory: Cirrhosis represents the extreme end of cumulative liver toxicity, the liver has been so overwhelmed with toxins (from food, environment, alcohol, chemicals, or internally generated fermentation products from cooked carbohydrates) that its tissue has degenerated and hardened. This is terrain theory in its purest expression: the tissue itself has been chemically burned and scarred.

Cooked Food: Cooked fats that cannot be properly processed, pasteurized dairy that strains the liver, and cooked carbohydrates that ferment into alcohol are all direct contributors. The liver's breakdown is inseparable from the consumption of cooked, processed, and chemically treated foods.

Detoxification: Aajonus frames hepatitis, which he describes as the body's "last-ditch effort to save the liver", as the detoxification process that ideally precedes cirrhosis and prevents it. When hepatitis is suppressed with medication (as it routinely is), the liver cannot complete its cleanse, scars over, and moves toward cirrhosis. He warns that stopping hepatitis leads to "chronic fatigue most of the time or fibromyalgia" and that "the people who are treated for hepatitis are much weaker people with usually dark circles around their eyes, they will never be the same."

Raw Food / How to Eat: The resolution of cirrhosis is built almost entirely on raw food protocols, raw meat, raw fats, raw coconut cream, raw cucumbers, raw tomatoes, raw eggs, raw honey, raw butter, raw animal liver (consumed as food), and these are the tools Aajonus prescribes for tissue rebuilding.

Symptoms Reframed

Symptoms Reframed

Aajonus presents cirrhosis symptoms not as the disease itself but as the body's expressions of accumulated liver toxicity and tissue breakdown:

Early Symptoms (as he lists them) - Indigestion, the liver is not producing adequate or proper bile to digest fats - Diarrhea or constipation, incomplete fat digestion leads to bile imbalance in the digestive tract - Fever, the body attempting to accelerate detoxification and healing processes - Yellowish complexion (jaundice), bile backing up into the blood because the liver cannot process it properly; he observes this in iridology clients as a "yellow complexion and darkness" that has "been that way for years" - Liver pain and spasms, the liver tissue under toxic and mechanical stress
Progressed Symptoms (as he lists them) - Anemia, the liver is not producing proper cholesterols and the blood cannot carry nutrients adequately - Edema, when the liver cannot produce proper cholesterols, the fats it does produce "are a little bit more acidic than normal, so the body is diluting them so it doesn't disrupt and burn the tissue," causing water retention - Spider-shaped bruises (internal bleeding), damage to capillary integrity from bile toxicity and tissue breakdown - Heaviness throughout the liver area, the literal mass of hardening scar tissue and engorgement
Nausea (prominent and recurring symptom) Aajonus repeatedly frames the frequent nausea of cirrhosis as the body's mechanism for dumping acid and toxins from the liver into the stomach for evacuation. He states: "If the liver malfunctions, you could also be at the other end, anorexic, inability to eat because you're so acidic, you're nauseous all the time because acidity dumps into the stomach. Then you get nauseous because your body has a tendency to want to vomit when all those poisons dump into the stomach. So then you have no appetite."
White or Sand-Colored Stool In response to a patient's husband who showed white or sand-colored stool at best, Aajonus contextualizes this as the liver not producing bile, without bile, stool loses its normal brown color entirely. He does not dismiss this symptom but places it within the framework of a liver so compromised it cannot perform even its baseline function of bile production.
Dark Circles Under Eyes Aajonus uses dark circles as an iridology and diagnostic indicator. He states: "If I have somebody with very dark, black circles I know that there is a liver problem." If there is puffiness alongside the darkness, he includes the kidneys as well. Without puffiness, dark circles alone indicate liver pathology.
Jaundice and Bile in the System In cases of extreme bile buildup approaching cirrhosis, Aajonus describes a person "full of bile" even after two years on the diet. He describes bile seeping out through skin (causing psoriasis and lesions), bile getting "into the cells and rupturing them and preventing proper healing," and bile creating impetigo-like conditions. He notes: "One of the results of too much bile in the system is impetigo, it puts out a crusty yellow serum that can spread all over the system."

Food Protocol

Food Protocol

Aajonus's protocol for cirrhosis is detailed, multi-layered, and staged. Different foods address different aspects: alkalizing the liver, dissolving hardened tissue, rebuilding protein structure, supplying enzymes, managing nausea, providing bile-producing raw materials, and allowing detoxification to proceed safely.

For Extreme Nausea, First Priority Raw tomatoes are the primary first-line intervention when nausea is at its most extreme. Aajonus instructs: eating plenty of raw tomatoes or fresh raw tomato puree throughout each day for as many days as it takes to quiet nausea works best for those experiencing extreme nausea. There is no upper daily limit specified, "plenty" and "throughout each day" are his terms, and he elsewhere mentions eating "10–15 raw tomatoes for 1–2 days weekly" for liver alkalization in less acute situations.
After Nausea Is Managed, Core Liver Protocol Once extreme nausea has quieted, or for those with lighter nausea, the following interventions apply:

Fresh lemon juice: Drinking the fresh juice from about 6 lemons per day helps clean and tone the liver. He specifies this as "the fresh juice from about 6 lemons", not bottled, not pasteurized.

Raw fat with small amounts of cooked starches: At other times of day (not simultaneous with lemon juice), eating plenty of raw fat, especially raw eggs, combined with small amounts of cooked starches every day helps clean and tone the liver. This is one of the few situations in his protocol where a small amount of cooked starch is permitted as a strategic tool.

Raw coconut cream with cucumbers, for dissolving hardening: This is the most specific and targeted intervention Aajonus names for the actual hardening of liver tissue. He states: "Eating fresh raw coconut cream with cucumbers dissolves hardening the quickest." No quantity is specified in the passages, but this is singled out as the most direct approach to the fibrotic/cirrhotic hardening itself.

For Easier Liver Function, Daily Support Formula ½ pound of nonsteamed dates paired with any one of the following fat sources, eaten daily until problems cease: - 12 tablespoons unsalted raw butter, OR - 1 cup raw cream, OR - 9 tablespoons never-heated-above-96°F fermented coconut oil or stone-pressed olive oil

He specifies: "Dates and oil can be eaten together or at separate times." This combination helps the liver work easier by reducing its enzymatic burden.

Unheated raw honey with everything, and in between meals: Aajonus emphasizes that honey supplies the liver with "plenty of enzymes for its work." This should be eaten with all foods and between meals as a constant supply of enzymatic support.

For Alkalization, Weekly Protocol 10–15 raw tomatoes for 1–2 days weekly alkalizes the liver. This is a separate weekly protocol from the emergency anti-nausea tomato eating, this is a maintenance alkalization intervention for ongoing support.
Rebuilding Liver Tissue, The Long Game Raw meat twice daily minimum: Aajonus states: "Eating raw meat twice daily with a balanced raw diet over many years rebuilds the liver." He also states "eating raw meat 2–4 times daily on a balanced raw diet corrects this condition, sometimes quickly but most often gradually."

Raw animal liver (food-grade) consumed regularly: This is a cornerstone rebuilding food. Aajonus recommends consuming raw organic animal liver to rebuild a damaged liver. He notes: - For hepatitis (which precedes or accompanies cirrhosis): "I suggest you have liver three pounds a week. That's a lot at first, and I suggest you do that for about three weeks minimum, and then cut it down to a pound a week. But I would really give it a boost." - In less acute cases: "I'm going to suggest that you have liver at least two times a week" and "once a week, even twice a week, if you really want to promote it." - He uses the term "concentrate on maybe 50% red meat for a while until the liver is rebuilt."

Liver preparation methods Aajonus uses and recommends: - Pâté in a food processor: "I like pâté. I'll just put it in a food processor with some red onion and blend it into a pâté. And I like it that way." - Salsa preparation: "Take like five chili tomatoes, one little sliver section of red onion about an inch by a quarter of an inch. A quarter of a teaspoon of vinegar. Blend that together. And then I'll take a teaspoon of that and put it with like liver or lungs or anything." - With ginger and horseradish: "You put the liver in a food processor with some ginger and some horseradish, or if they don't like the ginger, then just use the horseradish, or if they don't like the horseradish, just use..." (the sentence continues with further options) - For those who dislike liver: "I always disliked liver so I would have to eat a spoonful at a time and I'd have to grind it up into a pâté with some onion and I'd eat a spoonful, let...", meaning eating it in very small increments to make it tolerable

Any type of organic animal liver is acceptable: "We are talking about any kind of liver, beef liver, chicken liver, lamb liver for that matter." He emphasizes "organic" because: "If you're taking it from an animal that's got a lot of chemicals in it, then they go to the hormones and then...", the implication being that non-organic livers from chemically raised animals carry additional toxic burdens.

For Liver Spasms (a specific sub-protocol) Aajonus describes working with "several people with liver conditions, extreme ones" where "their livers would go into spasms." He tried cucumber (helped a little but didn't stop it). The solution he found: - Fresh, raw fennel root: "I told them to take fennel root, fresh, raw. It's kind of like celery and you juice it or you grind it with the liver." He identifies fennel root as an antispasmodic for liver spasms in these extreme cases.

He also notes: "Another thing to help the liver is if you eat the..." in relation to liver conditions, and then describes the fennel root protocol above. The fennel root can be either juiced or ground together with the liver being consumed.

For Nausea Management (between meals) When feeling nauseous at any time during liver recovery: - Eat 1–2 teaspoons of no-salt-added raw unheated cheese with an equal quantity of fat, especially unsalted raw butter, every 2–3 hours. This small, frequent pairing of cheese and butter helps manage liver nausea.
For Those with Significant Bile in the System For cases where excessive bile is present (as commonly accompanies liver disease including cirrhosis): - Eat small amounts of cheese all day long (except with juice) - At least a pound of meat a day of all kinds - Aajonus mentions that for extreme bile situations, he sometimes introduces carrot juice strategically: "Sometimes I'll start off with 40% of the bile is tremendous in the system and cut it down to 20% and then 10% over time." He uses carrot juice to dilute and move bile gradually. However, he specifies: "This is somebody that I would tell to drink carrot juice."
Juice Protocols for Liver Rebuilding In cases of serious liver damage (with or without cirrhosis designation), Aajonus recommends: - 80% celery, 20% parsley (for cases with liver scarring where metals are present) - 10% kale juice, 70% celery, 20% parsley (for cases where liver needs nutrients and bile management is critical) - ½ cup of raw fresh carrot juice with 2 tablespoons raw coconut cream or raw dairy cream first thing every morning for 3 weeks (in jaundice/liver contamination cases that overlap with cirrhosis) - Aajonus specifies regarding pace of juice intake: "If you drink 5 cups a day or 4½ cups of juice a day you might speed it up a few months to recover, usually it takes 2½ years to get the liver to recover properly, so you can decrease it to about 2 years instead."
Butter as a Tool to Force Liver Function In a case of a badly compromised liver, Aajonus describes his personal experience with a poison mushroom that destroyed much of his liver: "I forced my body to make the liver work by forcing myself to eat a pound and a half to two pounds of butter a day." He clarifies: "I'm not suggesting that much for you", but he references this principle to explain that forcing the liver to engage with fat by eating large quantities of raw butter can stimulate the liver to rebuild its bile-producing capacity.
Egg Whites (exceptional protocol for extreme liver damage) In one specific case of severe liver damage with multiple hepatitis indicators, Aajonus makes a recommendation he describes as unprecedented: "I have never ever suggested this for anyone before, but two days a week, eat two egg whites without the yolk. You can have the yolk with some meat, red meat, another time. And then have the egg white, two egg whites when you're having milk and a couple of eggs at another time. That concentrated protein in that form will help build some mucus around the liver to help protect that liver."

This is highly specific: two egg whites (without yolk) two days a week, specifically to build protective mucus around the liver in extreme damage cases.

For Avocado Aajonus mentions: "An avocado would help this condition also, help your liver. Your liver is very lumpy.", indicating avocado as a supportive liver food in cases of lumpy, compromised liver tissue.
Cheese for Toxin Absorption While discussing toxic liver conditions generally, Aajonus states: "Cheese is a fat that isn't digested in the system very well, but it's a great sponge for poisons." He recommends eating cheese "at least every 20 minutes" in cases of severe toxin accumulation, "a little cheese," and "a bunch of cheese in the morning." In cases needing mineral replacement alongside toxin absorption: "Two and a half tablespoons of cheese with two and a half teaspoons [of honey]."
Cream or Butter for Diluting Poisons "You can always dilute the poisons by drinking cream or something like that", though he notes cream "coats and chelates with it" rather than acting as a sponge like cheese does.
Skim Milk Bath for Bile in Skin In cases where bile has reached the skin (which accompanies severe liver disease): "Get some extra quarts of milk and suck the cream off and use the skim milk for a bath. That'll also help draw some of the bile that's in your skin out."

Recovery Timeline

Recovery Timeline

Aajonus is direct about the timeline for liver healing, and he is not optimistic about speed. His framework consistently places liver healing among the longest recovery processes in the body:

General Statement on Liver Healing Duration "Healing the liver is a very long process because, similar to the heart, it is almost constantly working." This comparison to the heart is deliberate, both organs never rest, which means healing must happen while the organ continues to function.
Standard Recovery Timeline "Eating raw meat twice daily with a balanced raw diet over many years rebuilds the liver.", The phrase "over many years" is deliberately non-specific but points to multi-year timelines.

He specifies in one passage: "Usually it takes 2½ years to get the liver to recover properly." With optimized juice support (4½ to 5 cups of juice daily), he says this can be shortened: "You can decrease it to about 2 years instead."

In Cases of Significant Scarring When 50% of the liver is already scar tissue, Aajonus does not promise full recovery of the scarred portions but focuses on preserving and rebuilding what remains active. He says "concentrate on maybe 50% red meat for a while until the liver is rebuilt", implying rebuilding the active tissue is the strategy, not dissolving scar tissue.
The Hardening For the specific cirrhotic hardening, raw coconut cream with cucumbers "dissolves hardening the quickest", but even "quickest" in this framework means gradual over the course of the multi-year recovery.
Initial Boost Protocol For severe damage, he recommends: "I suggest you have liver three pounds a week. That's a lot at first, and I suggest you do that for about three weeks minimum, and then cut it down to a pound a week. But I would really give it a boost." This three-week high-dose liver eating protocol initiates the rebuilding process before settling into a maintenance dose.
Signs of Progress Aajonus notes that in one individual who had abused drugs and alcohol for 30 years, he found through iridology that there was "very little of the internal scarring that normally exists, I don't see any cirrhosis of the liver, I don't see any breakdown of the kidneys", and this was attributed to that individual eating raw foods (specifically referenced in context of his diet). This suggests that raw food consumed consistently over decades can prevent cirrhosis even under extraordinary toxic burden.
Resilience Factor In one iridology reading, Aajonus notes: "You have good resilience, you just have to get rid of that one block. But that's a heavy block. The liver is, you know, the first big step and it cannot recover without protein, lots of protein." He frames the liver as a treatable condition given adequate protein intake and time.

Questions Aajonus Answered

Questions Aajonus Answered

  • Case: Woman with Distended Stomach and Internal Bleeding, Iridology Finding of Cirrhosis

    In his early training material, Aajonus describes a case where a woman came to him with a distended stomach. Through iridology, he observed two blood-red spots in her eye and identified internal bleeding near the ileocecal valve. He told her: "You've got some kind of internal bleeding inside. You've got to go to the doctor." She delayed for two weeks before seeking care and died a week later in the hospital. The hospital found no blood in the abdominal cavity, instead they found "all this really yellow, deep yellow fluid in her abdominal cavity." Aajonus states: "They hypothesized that it was the liver, because the liver was almost a solid mass, cirrhosed tissue." Through the iris, he had seen the fluid "seeping from the bowel, the small intestine and the large intestine, right where they met." He notes: "Bile and fluids."

    This case illustrates the lethal potential of advanced cirrhosis, the liver becoming a "solid mass" of cirrhosed tissue, and the iridology signs (blood-red spots, distension, discoloration) that Aajonus uses to identify it.

  • Q&A: Iridology Identification of Cirrhosis, "Brown Spot Without Fibers"

    In his iridology training passages, Aajonus teaches: "A brown spot without fibers means that probably the person has cirrhosis of the liver." He contextualizes this by noting that iridology landmarks are approximations: "This is just a kind of approximation. So what you do is see where the things are and you see where those lesions and those problems fall and you have to ask questions so you know where the symptoms lie. So the symptoms have to match."

    He describes a client whose liver zone sign corresponded to a position that would normally indicate hands or arms (8:00 rather than 7:45), but she had "no problem with her hands or arms, yet she's got tremendous liver problems, pain there, everything." He advises always asking questions to match the iris sign to the actual symptom.

  • Q&A: Person with Jaundice and Liver Questions at a Seminar

    A seminar attendee presents with jaundice, yellow complexion and darkness, that has persisted for years, going away only during fasting.

    Aajonus responds: "Because your liver doesn't have to digest anything. Doesn't have a lot of fats to digest and anything else." He identifies a lesion in the iris at the 2:50 position and states the liver is "very deficient in proteins." He says: "You need to eat the fats with the proteins for it to work. And you need lots of fats as well to clean out the toxicity that the liver has created. Because it's like everything your liver is building it's connecting it with bile. Every fat that passes from your liver is connected with bile and that is why you are turning yellow."

    He adds that the issue is over-bile connection, the liver is attaching bile to every fat it processes instead of producing clean fats, which is causing systemic bile toxicity expressed as jaundice.

    He also reads from the iris: "Your liver comes up about 8:10, right around up in here... I would say your liver is involved in there, because you have the jaundice."

  • Q&A: Person with a Lumpy, Damaged Liver from Chemical Exposure (China / Cotton Farm)

    In a workshop reading, Aajonus examines a person born in China who received multiple injections to emigrate to Australia, then spent time on a cotton farm (six months) and in a cotton gin (three months) with heavy chemical exposure.

    Aajonus reads: "Your liver is very lumpy." The person confirms they've had problems since they were a teenager. Aajonus's recommendations: - Eat cheese at least every 20 minutes, a little cheese - A bunch of cheese in the morning - Two and a half tablespoons of cheese with two and a half teaspoons of honey (for minerals) - "An avocado would help this condition also, help your liver" - "You've got all those poisons inside" - The cheese is functioning as a poison sponge throughout the day

  • Q&A: Person Who Looks Like They Have Cirrhosis ("Almost Like a Cirrhosis of the Liver")

    In a workshop transcript, Aajonus says to a client: "It's almost like you have like a cirrhosis of the liver, you know, and turn that around and everything looks like it will turn around quicker you know cause like you see you have good resilience. You just have to get rid of that one block but that's a heavy block. The liver is, you know, the first big step and it cannot recover without protein, lots of protein. And you can start eating liver and that will be helpful. And I found that you know I always disliked liver so I would have to eat a spoonful at a time and I'd have to grind it up into a pâté with some onion and I'd eat a spoonful..."

    This reveals Aajonus's personal approach to consuming liver despite dislike: grinding it into pâté with onion and eating it one spoonful at a time.

  • Q&A: Person with Severely Damaged Liver (50% Scar Tissue)

    In a workshop iridology reading, Aajonus identifies what appears to be approximately 50% scarring of the liver: "It looks like you had a liver virus or infection. Tried to clear it. You didn't have the proper nutrients to finish it so you just scarred, like 50% scar tissue. As if you had been an alcoholic."

    He asks about diet: the person doesn't really like fruit, to which Aajonus responds: "Good, because that would have destroyed you probably. But sometimes I find that some fruitarians will have liver damage like that because there's too much sugar that turns into alcohol that hardens the liver. Your liver doesn't really look... Yeah, it is. It's definitely solid with scarring. Something happened to it. Just high sugar diet in general."

    His recommendations for this case: - 80% celery, 20% parsley juice - He says he is "not going to worry about taking the metals out with that" - "To rebuild that liver, I suggest that you do eat some liver. Once a week, even twice a week, if you really want to promote it." - "Because, even though about half of your liver is active, it's not producing any of the cholesterols properly. So none of the fats are being properly formed. And that causes all that water retention."

  • Q&A: Husband in Very Bad Shape, Liver Producing No Bile (White Stool)

    A wife emails Aajonus regarding her husband who is "in very, very bad shape" and "feeling like he is going to die." She notes he read about the liver "working correctly" and doesn't believe his is.

    Key symptom reported: "He doesn't think his liver is producing any bile, his stool is white or sand-colored at best." She asks if this could be from eating only eggs and cheese.

    Aajonus's response addresses this within the framework of severe liver dysfunction, the white stool confirming complete or near-complete absence of bile production. He addresses the leaky gut, pain after eating banana and butter, and the severe urinary symptoms, all contextualized within the liver not functioning.

  • Q&A: Heavy Bile in System, Jaundiced Person at Workshop

    A person at a workshop "who has never been diagnosed with hepatitis" presents with all the indicators of hepatitis.

    Aajonus states: "You have all the indications of somebody who's had hepatitis." He then explains: "Hepatitis is the last ditch save for your liver. That's why you don't want to stop hepatitis. It's a virus that usually starts dissolving the liver, just like the poison mushroom did for me."

    He then identifies this person as having had "severe liver damage" corresponding to three types of hepatitis. He makes the unique recommendation of two egg whites (without yolk) two days per week "to help build some mucus around the liver to help protect that liver", prefacing it with "I have never ever suggested this for anyone before."

    He recommends: - Liver at least two times a week - Pâté or salsa preparations for palatability - Three pounds of liver per week initially for three weeks minimum - Then cut down to one pound per week - Small amounts of cheese all day long - At least one pound of meat per day - Skim milk bath to pull bile from skin - Aztec Secret clay in a smoothie to help heal bleeding in intestinal area

  • Q&A: Psoriasis and Liver (Aug 31, 2011)

    A person asks about 16 months of skin itching and apparent psoriasis, inquiring whether it is liver stress and whether liver and kidney cleanse products would help. They also mention having drunk 500ml to 2 liters of carrot juice daily for ten years prior to starting the Primal Diet.

    Aajonus responds that 90% of toxins and body waste are supposed to discharge through the skin, and that skin disorders are expected as the body uses the skin as its primary elimination route. He contextualizes the psoriasis as a detoxification expression rather than a disease. On commercial liver/kidney cleanse products, he indicates they have no value within his framework.
