Dermatitis, in Aajonus's framework, is not a disease of the skin itself, it is the skin performing its primary biological function: discharging toxins. The skin is the largest eliminative organ in the body, and according to Aajonus, 90% of all toxins and body waste are supposed to exit through the skin via perspiration and lymphatic secretion. When that process is active, visibly inflamed, itching, cracking, bleeding, oozing, peeling, or forming rashes, what conventional medicine calls "dermatitis" is simply evidence that the body is successfully routing industrial chemical waste to the surface and expelling it.

Aajonus consistently taught that dermatitis, including its specific presentations as eczema, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and allergic dermatitis, all share the same underlying identity: they are solvent-driven detoxification events, not immune system malfunctions, not infections, and not diseases originating in the skin. The skin is the last stop, not the origin. To treat the skin's surface while leaving the internal chemistry undisturbed is, in his framework, simply trapping the poison back inside the body where it will cause far deeper and more destructive damage to organs, glands, connective tissue, and the nervous system.

Aajonus described dermatitis as the body's attempt to route caustic industrial chemicals, which have been stored in tissues, glands, organs, fat, bone, and neurological fluid, outward to the surface of the skin, where they can evaporate or shed as dead skin rather than accumulating internally and causing conditions like MS, lupus, fibromyalgia, muscular dystrophy, or cancer.

Eczema specifically is cross-referenced as equivalent to dermatitis: "ECZEMA is an inflammation of the skin accompanied by itching and scales. " He did not treat them as separate conditions, they are the same process at different stages of intensity.

Aajonus stated unambiguously: "All skin disorders are caused by industrial chemicals." This is his foundational claim about dermatitis and every condition that falls under that umbrella. The origin is always chemical contamination, from food, environmental exposure, medications, vaccines, household products, cosmetics, and industrial processes, stored in the body's tissues over time.

He elaborated: "Skin disorders result from industrial chemicals secreting through or built into the skin, damaging cells as they make their way to the skin's surface and evaporating and/or shedding as dead skin."

These industrial chemicals enter the body through multiple routes: - Processed and cooked foods containing preservatives, additives, and chemical byproducts of heating - Medications and vaccines, which store in tissues for years and decades - Household cleaning products absorbed through the skin or inhaled (e.g., Windex, antifreeze, industrial solvents) - Shampoos, soaps, cosmetics, and formaldehyde-containing makeup - Environmental pollution

The body's designed detoxification pathway, according to Aajonus, routes waste through the lymphatic system, which is supposed to neutralize toxins using alkalinizing minerals (calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium), liquefy them, and then dump that liquefied waste into the connective tissue beneath the skin, from which it is perspired outward through the skin. When this system works correctly, 90% of all body waste exits through the skin.

When the lymphatic system is blocked, congested, or deficient, which Aajonus said is the case for essentially everyone eating a modern diet, toxins cannot be properly neutralized before they reach the skin. They arrive at the skin surface in a caustic, insufficiently neutralized state. This is what causes the burning, inflammation, cracking, oozing, redness, itching, and cell damage that characterizes dermatitis. The skin cells are being damaged by industrial chemicals that have not been adequately diluted or neutralized.

He explained: "When it comes through the skin, it does tremendous damage to the skin, acne, rashes, hives, all of those are expressions. And burns, you can even have burns."

A critical secondary cause Aajonus identified is deficiency in raw animal fat, specifically raw butter. Fat serves multiple essential roles in dermatitis:

1. Harnessing and binding toxins, animal fat, particularly butter, binds industrial chemicals in the bloodstream and in tissue, preventing them from burning the skin as they pass through it. 2. Delivering lubrication to the skin layer, only butter, specifically, among all fats, actually reaches and lubricates the skin layer when consumed internally. Cream is absorbed by the glands, organs, and nervous system but does not reach the skin. Pressed oils dry the skin rather than lubricate it. 3. Preventing ulceration, by harnessing toxins before they reach concentrated points on the skin surface, sufficient animal fat prevents the skin from developing ulcers at those points. Without adequate fat, a concentrated discharge to one skin location would create a massive ulcer. Fat allows the body to spread the toxic load across many small points, preventing any single point from blistering severely.

He stated: "The best way to harness the toxins and mitigate skin disorders, preventing them from causing ulcers, such as psoriasis, is to consume lots of animal fat, especially no-salt raw butter and raw cream."

Aajonus specifically identified commercially frozen meat as a cause of skin disorders:

"I have seen skin disorders caused by raw meat, when frozen. Freezing in a machine is an industrial process that causes many chemical byproducts. Do not eat meats that have been frozen."

He documented this with a personal experiment: he took meat from the same animal, refrigerated half at high temperature (around 55°F) and froze the other half. He divided animals into two groups and fed each group accordingly. The animals eating frozen meat all developed skin disorders within six weeks. One animal developed mange so severe it was "bleeding and peeling and real huge sores like psoriasis." The animals eating unfrozen refrigerated meat developed no skin disorders whatsoever and were calm.

He subsequently gave raw unfrozen butter to the sick group (split into two subgroups, one receiving unfrozen butter, one receiving frozen butter). The group receiving unfrozen butter healed five times faster than the group receiving frozen butter. His conclusion: "I knew that butter could correct any skin disorder."

A major compounding cause Aajonus identified is the inability to perspire, caused primarily by skin-damaging external substances: soaps, shampoos, chemical cosmetics, formaldehyde in makeup. These products damage the skin's surface to the point where it can no longer perspire effectively. Without perspiration, the toxins the lymphatic system dumps under the skin cannot exit, they accumulate in connective tissue and drive conditions like lupus (dissolution of connective tissue) and MS (hardening of connective tissue).

"Our skins are so dead from all the shampoos and soaps and chemicals, formaldehyde in your makeup and all of these dastardly things, we damage the skin and it can no longer perspire. Many people don't even perspire."

He noted that when people cannot perspire naturally, he would put them in a hot tub and they would have to stay 90 minutes before the lymphatic system was even working for an hour of perspiration.

In a direct Q&A response to someone experiencing itching on the head, neck, and eyelids (with swollen, red, patchy eyelids), Aajonus wrote: "Sounds as if you are butter deficient and using too much pressed oils that dry the skin rather than lubricate it."

This confirms that the itching component of dermatitis is specifically associated with insufficient butter and overconsumption of pressed oils, which have the opposite effect of butter, they dry the skin rather than lubricate it.

In one individual case study during a workshop, Aajonus examined a person with very wide, overactive adrenal gland areas on both sides. He told that person:

"This kind of dryness, 10 years you might find yourself in sores all over, if you weren't to change your diet."

He connected overactive adrenal glands to hormone excess and to skin vulnerability, describing the trajectory from dryness to eventual open sores as a long-term consequence of not addressing the underlying terrain.

Dermatitis sits primarily at the intersection of Detoxification, Terrain Theory, and Toxicity / Industrial Chemicals.

• It is a Detoxification event, the body is actively routing stored industrial chemicals outward through the skin's eliminative pathway.
• It reflects Terrain Theory, the skin's condition mirrors the internal accumulation of industrial chemicals in tissue, and the state of the lymphatic system.
• It is the direct consequence of Industrial Chemical Toxicity, Aajonus places all skin disorders firmly in the category of chemically-caused conditions, not microbial, not genetic, not behavioral.
• The Microbes is partially relevant, because bacteria, fungi, and the body's solvent-producing processes (what Aajonus called "virus") all participate in the breakdown of damaged cells and the routing of waste to the skin, but they are helpers in the process, not causes.
• The Raw Food is relevant because raw butter is the primary remedy, it is the food that both resolves fat deficiency at the skin level and harnesses industrial chemicals to prevent damage during their exit through the skin.
• The Cooked Food is relevant because frozen and processed meats, pressed oils, cooked starches causing allergy-related skin reactions, and all industrial food additives are implicated as original causes.

Rashes are the body's successful discharge of internally stored toxins through the skin. When rashes appear, Aajonus said: "When you see rashes, when you see a skin condition, that's a good sign. That a body has taken something very caustic internally and is throwing it out of the skin. Not pleasant to look at, not pleasant to feel and experience, but the body is doing what it's supposed to do."

He urged people not to panic when rashes appear, and specifically not to go to a dermatologist to stop them. Stopping the rash means retaining the toxin internally.

He also reframed rashes as proof that internal organs and glands were spared what would otherwise be far worse damage: "If this had discharged through my intestines, my glands, I would be dead. When you see the pictures of how bad this was, it was oozing, there were crystals coming out of it."

Itching during dermatitis is caused by the waste products of fungi, bacteria, and solvents passing through the skin. He specifically identified fungal waste as producing more itching than bacterial waste because fungi leave a 20% waste product compared to bacteria's 1–3%, and those waste products dry out the skin as they pass through it.

He also attributed itching to butter deficiency, when there is insufficient fat in the skin to lubricate the passage of these waste products, itching intensifies.

Dry, flaking skin is the surface manifestation of toxins shedding as dead cells. Aajonus did not equate dry skin with dehydration: "If your skin is so dry that it's flaking all layers, and it's not psoriasis or eczema, you're not dehydrated. Ninety percent of the people that the hospital says, 'oh, you're dehydrated,' you're not dehydrated."

He noted that in candida-associated states, skin is "pretty dry and sensitive. There is not much fat in it at all. Thin... sensitive to anything. It's just thin skin that has little red splotches and bumps on it. They will very easily get like heat rashes."

Cracking and bleeding skin (as in Aajonus's personal severe allergic dermatitis history, where the skin on his hands would crack and bleed) represents the most intense form of this detoxification, where the skin becomes so dry and inflamed from the toxic discharge that the tissue physically splits. He connected this directly to topical hydrocortisone cream use, which suppressed this process for years during his childhood and adolescence, trapping the toxins deeper inside his body and stunting the healthy development of his skin.

"The skin on my hands would become so dry and inflamed, it would crack and bleed. Topical hydrocortisone creams. For 10 years while I was growing and developing, and I know that the skin on my hands, it looks like an old man."

Oozing and blistering represent the most acute phase, where the skin cannot contain the level of toxic discharge and the tissue breaks open. In his own documented detoxification from vaccine injections, Aajonus described: "Skin rashes began on April 2 and became bubbled, prominent and widespread by April 15th... the industrial chemicals caused so much irritation and burn to the cells that the skin reddened and foot swelled considerably." He documented this with photographs published in the Primal Diet Newsletter, 26th Edition.

He noted that these discharges were "solvent detoxifications, not microbial. Therefore, DNA and RNA debris were present in dissolved fluids, that is, the fluids discharged from my feet."

Post-oozing phases where the skin crusts over are also part of the healing sequence. Aajonus documented in his own case: "I continue to get sores on my scalp that crust amber and brown." This he identified as the final stage before resolution, with the body completing its discharge.

During detoxification, unusual colors can appear on the skin, not signs of disease but of specific chemicals or damaged cells exiting tissue. Aajonus documented a case: "She had an orange spot come out of her chin. It was just like it was painted orange, bright orange... it was actually that coming out of her tissue that way. And then over the next few weeks, three weeks, it turned into a birthmark, a brown birthmark. Then it took six months to evaporate and go away."

He instructed: "You have to be aware of all these little signals. It's not something to panic and run to a dermatologist or some quack to try to get them to figure out what's wrong and you're going to develop some kind of disease. You just have to be patient and get through it and do the right things."

Aajonus treated psoriasis as a more advanced or chronic form of the same condition, dermatitis left unresolved long enough to create large lesions. He told one workshop attendee: "You're going into psoriasis, if you're not already into it... these are all the symptoms of psoriasis, all over the system." He then confirmed: "I don't have it anymore," referring to his own past psoriasis, resolved through raw diet.

He connected psoriasis directly to butter deficiency and to the lymphatic system's inability to adequately neutralize toxins before they reach the skin, so they arrive concentrated enough to create ulcers.

Raw, no-salt butter is the centerpiece of every dermatitis protocol Aajonus taught. He stated this without qualification: "I have seen all skin disorders reconciled by raw butter consumption."

He specified: - It must be raw (not pasteurized) - It must be no-salt-added (salt interferes with function) - It must be not frozen, frozen butter heals five times slower than unfrozen butter, as established in his animal experiment

He also emphasized: "Only butter will do that, cream won't do that. Cream won't even get near the skin; cream is all absorbed by the glands and the organs, and nervous system. Butter is the only thing that will get to the skin from ingesting."

Aajonus himself described consuming 1½ to 2 lbs of butter per day during his own healing process. He referenced this quantity in the context of people worrying about how much butter they were eating: "Remember from my first book, I ate 1½ - 2 lbs of butter per day. You are not eating enough to cause any problem."

For children specifically, he stated that the moisturizing lubrication formula (see below), containing butter as its base, "usually takes at least one moisturizing formula a day. To relieve it, usually in 30 days or less in children."

Aajonus repeatedly referenced this as the specific delivery mechanism for getting butter to the skin layer. The formula appears in his recipe book. He described it:

"Only butter will do that... especially if you are using the lubrication/moisturizing formula, because it allows it to be slowly pre-digested with the lemon juice and the egg in it, so it allows the liver to handle it easily and get it to the skin."

Components confirmed: butter, lemon juice, egg. He described it as tasting like "a lemon meringue." He recommended: - At least one moisturizing formula per day for skin conditions - For children, honey may be added initially to encourage consumption, then gradually reduced - Usually provides relief within 30 days or less in children

Raw cream is specified alongside butter as part of the fat-harnessing protocol: "The best way to harness the toxins and mitigate skin disorders, preventing them from causing ulcers, such as psoriasis, is to consume lots of animal fat, especially no-salt raw butter and raw cream."

While cream does not directly reach the skin layer the way butter does, it serves the organs, glands, and nervous system, freeing those systems to handle their chemical loads and reducing the burden on the skin.

For cases where industrial chemicals have entered the blood and neurological fluid (as in post-vaccine detoxification), Aajonus specified eating no-salt raw cheese frequently, every 30 to 90 minutes, to draw industrial toxins from the blood and neurological fluid into the intestines, from which they can be expelled through feces rather than through the skin, reducing the burden and damage to the skin.

He documented this from his own 2011 post-injection detoxification: "When I returned to USA June 24th, I began eating no-salt raw cheese frequently to draw any industrial toxins from blood and neurological fluid into intestines. Once I began eating cheese frequently, every 30-90 minutes, the detoxification mitigated."

He also referenced consuming "4 ounces of moist Terramin clay once or twice weekly blended for 3 seconds with warm raw milk" to arrest any injection poisons remaining in the fluid systems.

Raw eggs are specifically mentioned as part of the acute skin crisis protocol, particularly when rashes are severe. During his own facial rash crisis: "I used my salve for burns, ate raw chicken every 4 hours, ate 8-12 raw eggs daily and drank raw milk constantly to keep pain to a minimum."

Raw milk was consumed "constantly" during acute skin rash events in Aajonus's own documented cases. It supports the entire lymphatic and digestive system and provides nutrients to maintain function during intense detoxification.

In the severe rash/karposi-type rash episode on his face, Aajonus ate raw chicken every 4 hours. Raw chicken specifically provides proteins and growth factors that support skin cell regeneration during acute breakdown.

For individuals whose skin problems are complicated by a liver not producing sufficient bile to digest fat, which would prevent butter from being effective, Aajonus specified: "Eating no more than 3/4 cup pineapple with..." (the passage cuts off, but the context establishes this as part of a liver support protocol). He cautioned that pineapple must be scrubbed with warm water before slicing because of pesticide contamination on the skin.

For topical application to acutely itching or damaged skin, Aajonus recommended a mixture of 1 tablespoon unheated honey to 1 tablespoon raw no-salt butter, applied directly to the affected area. He documented this in a Q&A context:

"I suggest that you mix 1 tablespoon of unheated honey to 1 tablespoon of raw no-salt butter and apply that instead of just honey before applying the meat."

This mixture was also continued on open sores and healing skin: "I still have the sore on the sole at the ball of my right foot closer to the smallest toes. I continue to apply/rub butter and honey on it."

During a severe chickenpox-type event with intense full-body itching, Aajonus consumed and topically applied a honey/butter/coconut cream mixture. He also sipped coconut water and ate raw water buffalo meat with raw fat. He described periodically applying coconut cream topically as soothing during intensely itchy periods.

Aajonus mentioned sour cream as "fabulous" in the context of skin health and external application: "How about sour cream? Sour cream's fabulous. Because that's what we get..."

For skin rashes exiting through the feet and legs, documented in his own 2011 post-injection detoxification, Aajonus performed hot water foot and shin soaks every 3–5 days. He stated this "tremendously reduced damage to skin." He would have performed them more frequently but was traveling constantly.

Hot baths (at 105–110°F) are referenced as a mechanism for forcing perspiration, which assists the lymphatic system in routing toxins out through the skin rather than trapping them in connective tissue. He noted that in water enhanced by living mineral content, skin improvement was rapid and notable.

In children with eczema progressing toward psoriasis, Aajonus stated: "That usually takes at least one moisturizing formula a day. To relieve it, usually in 30 days or less in children. Depends upon what the rest of his diet is like."

The timeline varies significantly based on the depth and history of toxic accumulation. Aajonus described some rashes from detoxification lasting weeks to months. His own year-long rash from vaccine injection discharge: "It took me a year to get rid of it. Took my body a year to get rid of it."

For people with existing skin dryness and overactive adrenal glands: "This kind of dryness, 10 years you might find yourself in sores all over, if you weren't to change your diet."

For deep cirrhosed tissue underlying skin problems, Aajonus referenced 15–35 years to achieve optimum health depending on the severity of the individual's starting tissue damage: "A person with cirrhosed tissue could take thirty-five years to get to optimum. If they don't have it, it may take them twenty or fifteen."

Aajonus documented his own post-injection recovery timeline: - Skin rashes began April 2 - Became "bubbled, prominent and widespread" by April 15 - By April 17 the rashes were "seeping" and foot was "jaundiced" - By April 18 skin was "reddened and foot swelled considerably" - He ate no-salt raw cheese every 30–90 minutes upon returning to the USA, which "mitigated" the detoxification - Hot water foot and shin soaks every 3–5 days "tremendously reduced damage to skin" - By November 23 (approximately 7 months after rashes began): "My scarred legs are just a little sensitive to bumping or grazing things" - He noted: "I have never scarred from" these events, a testament to the raw diet's ability to regenerate skin without permanent scarring

Orange spots → brown birthmark → complete evaporation: "It took six months to evaporate and go away."

In his animal experiment with frozen meat-induced skin disorders, the group receiving unfrozen raw butter healed five times faster than the group receiving frozen butter. This is the most quantified timeline data in his teachings on dermatitis.
