Gallstones, in Aajonus's framework, are not a disease of the gallbladder itself. The gallbladder, he explains repeatedly, is not a manufacturing organ, it does not make anything. It is purely a storage sac for bile produced by the liver. Gallstones are therefore deposits that collect inside this storage sac when the body is using the gallbladder as a dumping ground for substances it cannot process or eliminate through the skin by perspiration.

Aajonus defines gallstones explicitly: "GALLSTONES are deposits of crystallized resins and minerals, the same as kidney stones but combined with bile in the gall bladder."

This definition is critical: gallstones are fundamentally the same phenomenon as kidney stones, bladder stones, or liver stones, they are all amalgams of cauterized minerals and crystallized resins that the body was unable to discharge through normal elimination pathways. The specific location, gallbladder, kidney, bladder, or liver, is simply where a particular individual's body chose to dump those substances.

In the newsletter, Aajonus expands this definition further: "Analysis of stones reveals that they are an amalgam of various cauterized minerals of all sorts. The hardest are those dense with heavy metals. All people who develop stones, develop them from numerous cauterized minerals and resins. Their bodies cannot process cauterized minerals and crystallized resins well enough to eliminate them through skin by perspiration. Their bodies discharge them into kidneys and may collect there or in bladders, rarely both. Some people's bodies dump into and collect cauterized minerals in liver or gallbladder."

So the gallbladder stone is specifically: cauterized minerals plus crystallized resins, combined with bile, deposited in the gallbladder because the body's primary elimination routes through the skin were insufficient to handle the toxic mineral load.

Beyond this definition of gallstones as crystalline deposits, Aajonus also describes a separate but related phenomenon: the gallbladder becoming hardened and filled with heavy metals and toxins, as distinct from classical stone formation. He describes seeing patients whose gallbladders were "completely hardened," whose gallbladder-to-liver duct was "full of heavy metals," and in one case where the gallbladder was described as having been a "dark hole" after surgical removal, with mercury visible in the tissue from thimerosal used during the procedure.

Aajonus identifies multiple, layered root causes for gallstones, and it is essential to understand his framework for the gallbladder and liver to understand why stones form there.

To understand gallstones, Aajonus says one must first understand what the gallbladder actually does. The liver's primary job, its only job, he states, is to manufacture bile. Bile is not a single substance. The liver produces 60 varieties of cholesterols:

• One-third for cleansing the body (the body makes solvents from them)
• One-third for protection and strengthening of the body
• One-third for giving the body energy (fat has 2.5 times more energy than carbohydrates)

The liver produces this bile continuously, approximately "a teaspoon to a tablespoon depending upon the person" per hour, enough to digest approximately one teaspoon to two tablespoons of fat per hour depending on liver health. That bile is then sent to the gallbladder, which is a small organ approximately the size of a thumb, though it can swell and enlarge when congested.

The gallbladder stores enough concentrated bile to digest approximately 20 to 50 pounds of fat, the quantities vary slightly across his different lectures, with figures ranging from "20-30 pounds," "50 pounds," "about 10 gallons of ice cream." This enormous reserve existed because primitive humans and cave people would hunt and kill large animals, consuming all the fat first, up to 10 to 20 pounds of fat in 24 to 48 hours. Without this concentrated bile reserve, they would have passed all that fat as diarrhea and been unable to utilize it.

Bile is also described as extremely caustic: "I can take a drop of bile and burn a hole in your arm like battery acid." Its function is to break down fat molecules so that bacteria can infiltrate and eat them, making them absorbable. "Fat that isn't broken down with bacteria, you can't digest it. So, the bile prepares it for the bacteria to be able to absorb it in the body."

The bile also works because it essentially rots the fat: "It puts it into a substance that makes it very rotten. That's why when you see rotten fat, that you can eat it without any problems, because it's the same thing that bile does to it."

The root cause of gallstones begins with the liver becoming toxic and overburdened. Originally, the liver had only one job: make bile. But in Aajonus's framework, because the modern body is so saturated with poisons, from cooked foods, supplements, medications, vaccines, heavy metals, the liver is forced to do a secondary job it was never designed for: act as a filter for toxins.

"The liver is now a dumping space," he says. And this overflow condition means: "The gallbladder is filling up with toxins because the liver is sending it there with the bile, not what it's meant to do."

When the liver cannot properly process or eliminate toxins, it dumps them into the bile stream. That contaminated bile goes to the gallbladder. Over time, the cauterized minerals and crystallized resins in that bile accumulate and crystallize inside the gallbladder, forming stones.

Aajonus makes a specific observation about which populations develop stones and which do not: "Tribes who lived entirely on raw dairy and meats had no history of any kind of stones developing in their bodies. Therefore, it cannot be the concentration of minerals in raw dairy or raw meats as some people believe."

He cites the Maasai and Fulani tribes explicitly, if raw dairy caused stones, they would be overwhelmed with them, but they are not. The stones are not caused by eating rich mineral foods. They are caused by the body's inability to process cauterized (cooked, denatured, heat-damaged) minerals and eliminate them through perspiration.

The hardest, most severe stones are "those dense with heavy metals." He gives the example of his own bladder stone: "The lab report stated no cancerous activity and that the black particles were 'mercury dense.'" He attributed it to tetanus injections received in infancy and adolescence: "my bladder is where my body tried to rid itself of the neuro-toxic mercury and aluminum from vaccines."

Stones can grow over decades. His own bladder stone "had to have formed over several decades" according to the urologist who removed it with a laser, with a core "the size of a large marble and black like steel."

Aajonus identifies supplement use as a direct contributor to gallbladder toxicity and hardening. In one consultation, he tells a patient: "your body stored a lot of toxins from your supplements in the gallbladder." He explains that supplements, even liquid mineral supplements, contain alkaloids: "there are alkaloids in any mineral supplement, I mean any supplement. Oh yes, like I say, it's ripping your fats. Fifty percent of the fats" are being consumed or damaged by these stored toxins. When a gallbladder hardens from stored supplement toxins, it "keeps absorbing them, drying them out" and "burning up about fifty percent of your fats that you're consuming in a day."

He described seeing another patient who was a "heavy supplement taker" and who had significant jaundice and gallbladder toxicity from liquid mineral supplements in particular.

Aajonus also explains the mechanism by which any stone forms: "So that can happen from any debased mineral substance in the body. So anything can cause stones. It's just where your body decides to dump them. Does it dump them into the intestines like it does most people, and out the bowels? Or does it dump into the urinary tract? Not a good place for it to do it, but where the body does it will kill a lot of people. So then you have stones, whether they're bladder or kidney or liver. Stones can form anywhere."

He references Pasteur's documentation of crystal growth, a geode-like growth process, as the analogy: cauterized mineral substances can form crystals anywhere in the body depending on where the body chooses to dump them.

Gallstones fit primarily within the following principles of Aajonus's philosophical framework:

Root Cause / Terrain Theory: The foundational understanding is that stones form because the body cannot eliminate cauterized minerals through the skin, so it deposits them internally. This is a terrain issue, the body's elimination capacity is overwhelmed because it has been filled with heat-denatured, toxic minerals from cooked food, vaccines, and supplements.

Cooked Food: The cauterization of minerals through cooking is the primary driver. Tribes on entirely raw animal foods do not develop stones. Cooked food creates the mineral debris that becomes stones.

Detoxification: The body's attempt to eliminate these deposited cauterized minerals, whether through diarrhea, vomiting, or the gradual dissolution of stones, is a detoxification process in Aajonus's framework. The gallbladder detoxifying its stored toxins produces vomiting and diarrhea, which he describes as a positive healing event, not a pathology.

Sovereignty: The decision to remove the gallbladder surgically is challenged extensively. Aajonus argues that doctors mislead patients, telling them they have a "gallbladder problem" when the real issue is toxin dumping from the liver. Removing the gallbladder eliminates the symptom but leaves the underlying toxicity, and then the same symptoms return two to three years later, now attributed to something else.

Aajonus reframes the standard medical narrative about gallbladder-caused stomach pain bluntly: "They know that the gallbladder doesn't do anything but hold excess fat, and nobody eats those high amounts of fat, so if they remove it, your body's going to be so contaminated for a while, you're going to stop the detoxification of poisons dumping out the stomach or causing your stomach ache, and they call it a gallbladder problem. So they've removed your gallbladder, which you don't really need anyway because you're not primitive, or eating tons of fat at a time, and they take the credit for getting rid of your indigestion until it pops up two or three years later. Then you've got the same problem."

The stomach ache is not caused by the gallbladder itself, it is caused by toxins the liver is dumping through the bile into the gallbladder and then into the gut. Removing the gallbladder temporarily stops this dump pathway, so the stomach ache disappears. But the toxins are still there, and eventually the same symptoms return through a different pathway.

Jaundice, yellowing of the skin or an orange appearance, is a sign of bile working in tissues where fat should be working. "Bile is working where fat should be working. Bile is very caustic and dangerous." When there is excess bile in the system, it migrates into tissues, causing the skin to look yellow or orange.

Aajonus explicitly addresses the common explanation that orange skin comes from eating too many carrots (carotene): "It isn't the carotene at all. It's the bile that the carotene pulls out of the tissues." Carrot juice, he explains, causes more bile to be expelled from the system, it pulls bile out of tissues, which is why drinking carrot juice while dealing with excess bile causes the skin to appear more orange or yellow temporarily.

When the gallbladder begins to detoxify its stored toxins, the expected symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea. Aajonus does not treat these as crises but as the body doing its work. He describes one case: "Another person I saw that had this kind of indications, he had diarrhea for a year and three months. Didn't bother him because he felt good every time he went. He got more of those poisons out of the system."

He tells patients whose gallbladders are hardened and beginning to detox: "you're going to have diarrhea probably a lot and some vomiting. That's a good thing."

A completely hardened gallbladder, where the tissue has become calcified or solidified from accumulated toxins, is described as a condition where the gallbladder is "burning up about fifty percent of your fats that you're consuming in a day. Just keeps absorbing them, drying them out." This means the patient is fat-deficient because their stored fats are being consumed by the toxin mass in the gallbladder.

In one iridology reading, Aajonus observes: "Your gallbladder is just full of metals. The tube between the liver and gallbladder is full of heavy metals." This is not described as gallstones per se but as a related form of mineral deposition, heavy metals filling the gallbladder and the biliary duct, disrupting bile flow and fat digestion.

When the gallbladder is compromised, whether from stones, hardening, or heavy metal accumulation, the fat digestion capacity of the whole body is impaired. Aajonus explains: "If your gallbladder is removed, you can no longer sit down and eat ice cream. Unless it's a couple of tablespoons an hour... Because you might have diarrhea or vomit. You won't be able to digest it."

Even with the gallbladder intact, if the liver is not forming proper bile, if it is too toxic to produce the full 60 varieties of cholesterol-based bile, the patient will still have difficulty digesting fats. "Then your liver isn't forming proper bile. So that would be... So you have to get your liver well."

For gallstones specifically, he adds to the kidney stone protocol: eating foods containing a lot of minerals, specifically:

• Fresh raw vegetable juices
• Raw eggs
• Raw milk (preferably full-fat)
• Raw plain kefir
• Tomatoes
• Melons
• No-salt-added raw cheeses
• Fresh raw fish, especially raw oysters and clams
• Raw fat, eaten with the raw oysters and clams to soothe the condition
• 2 ounces of fresh raw beet juice, mixed into other vegetable juices

The passage is cut off mid-sentence at "eaten wi..." but the beet juice in vegetable juice combination is clearly specified.

From the kidney stone section, which Aajonus explicitly refers readers to for gallstone treatment:

"Drinking plenty of raw milk to which you have added 4-6 tablespoons raw cream and 2 tablespoons unheated honey per 28 ounces of raw milk, and staying in bed for 1-2 days allows the body to use all of its accessible nutrients and energies for dissolving stones, making the process easier."

This bedrest-plus-enriched-raw-milk protocol is specifically designed to concentrate the body's healing resources on dissolving stones.

He also notes: eating small amounts of no-salt raw cheese every 15-20 minutes helps manage pain during mineral dissolution. He instructs to "walk the mineral-balance line but do not cross it. If crossed, usually pain increases exponentially. You may recover it fairly quickly by eating small amounts of no-salt raw cheese every 15-20 minutes."

For a patient whose gallbladder was "completely hardened" from supplement toxins, Aajonus recommended:

• Two lubrication formulas a day, to address the fat burning/depletion caused by the toxins in the gallbladder
• Vegetable juice, 90% celery, 10% parsley
• Pranayama breathing, to ensure enough oxygen in the gallbladder area, to reduce nausea when the gallbladder begins detoxifying

For the same patient, dealing with supplement toxicity throughout the system:

• 2 eggs + 1 tablespoon honey + butter, taken about 10 minutes after milk
• Then about 15 minutes later: a cup of milk with 1 tablespoon cream (or 1.5 tablespoons cream) and about half a teaspoon of honey

This sequence was designed to "start trying to pull that [supplement toxicity] out of the system."

In one consultation where the gallbladder was full of metals and the biliary duct was also full of heavy metals, Aajonus recommended:

• 7-8% cilantro in the vegetable juice
• 1 tablespoon of coconut cream right before drinking the juice
• Half a tablespoon of cow's cream in the juice
• 12 ounces in the morning (first thing)
• 4-6 ounces around noon
• About 5 ounces in the evening (around 5 PM)

Aajonus describes his own protocol when dealing with excessive bile throughout the system. He was drinking:

• Half carrot juice and half cream (cow's cream) together

He describes this as "heavy on the stomach, but it pulled the bile into my stomach instead of going out my tissues. So I'd vomit sometimes, and the bile would come up. Sometimes it would be yellow and orange and green. But it's better to come out that way than debilitate the whole system."

He also notes that for the patient with significant bile toxicity and jaundice in a consultation:

• 5-10 pounds of raw cream or coconut cream, or 3 ounces of butter
• About "five ounces of raw cream or coconut cream or three ounces of butter"

For bile problems in general: "Lots of cheese, lots of cream, and lots of butter. And eggs. You just have to, I mean, really do it... lots of lube formulas in meat. Lots of eggs on their own. Eggs are great to bind with that."

In a consultation where a patient had their gallbladder removed and had dead tissue, mercury, and poor liver circulation, Aajonus prescribed a formula to address vitamin K and U deficiency and prevent spider veins and varicose veins:

• 8 ounces of cabbage juice with:
• - 2 tablespoons of coconut cream
• - 1 tablespoon of dairy cream
• - 1 tablespoon of butter
• - 1 tablespoon of cheese

All taken together.

In one reading with significant lymphatic congestion around the gallbladder and poor circulation into the gallbladder:

• Put on about 10 pounds before starting hot baths, because otherwise detoxification will disintegrate connective tissue without enough protective fats in place
• Dairy cream specified, amount not given in the excerpt beyond "tablespoons of dairy cream"
• Eggs, as much as you like

Because bile production depends on the liver being properly fed, Aajonus gives specific instructions:

• Protein must be eaten with fat, and fat with protein, "You can eat all the fat in the world. If you don't eat a protein, your body's only going to assimilate about twenty percent of the bile. So you've got to make sure that you eat protein with your fat, and fat with your protein. It works both ways."
• Honey, "honey is mainly enzymes so it makes the job of the pancreas very very easy and helps the liver also provides enzymes for the liver to manufacture bile so honey is a very beneficial thing"
• Raw liver (animal liver), recommended to eat once a week for liver support and bile production

For a specific patient with a gallbladder producing inadequate bile and a 20% functional liver:

• Liver (animal) to eat once a week
• Cantaloupe, nutmeg, honeydew, only a thin wedge at a time, and always with cheese to slow it down

For a patient with poor circulation in the swollen intestines area of the gallbladder, mineral deficiency, and muscle instability:

• 2 tablespoons of cheese at 11 AM and 4:30 PM, each tablespoon with a teaspoon of honey
• Red meat, at least a pound (some of it raw, some can be cooked but some should be raw)
• Raw fish, specifically mentioned as helpful for the gallbladder area
• Raspberries with coconut cream and cheese instead of butter or cream, about 4 tablespoons coconut cream, about 1.5 tablespoons cheese, about 3/4 cup brown sugar, twice a week (this appears to be for a specific patient with unique needs)
• At least 4 ounces of raw milk a day
• Carrots, twice a week only

For kidney and gallstones generally, Aajonus notes that dissolution may involve "some discomfort." The process can be supported by the enriched raw milk protocol (4-6 tablespoons cream + 2 tablespoons honey per 28 ounces raw milk) combined with bed rest for 1-2 days to concentrate the body's healing resources.

He does not give a precise timeline for complete stone dissolution in the source materials, but the cheese-every-15-20-minutes protocol for pain management implies an ongoing process that requires active dietary management throughout.

For a gallbladder that is "completely hardened" and full of supplement toxins, Aajonus says when it decides to detox, it will be "pretty nasty", vomiting and diarrhea. He cites a parallel case: "Another person I saw that had this kind of indications, he had diarrhea for a year and three months. Didn't bother him because he felt good every time he went."

This suggests that gallbladder detoxification, once it begins, can last well over a year, in this cited example, approximately 15 months. The patient felt progressively better throughout despite the ongoing diarrhea.

Aajonus acknowledges uncertainty about whether a given hardened gallbladder will detox or remain stable: "Now because it's so raised and toxic right there and hardened, I'm assuming it's going to detox. If it never does, how great. But if it does, you're going to have diarrhea probably a lot and some vomiting."

For excess bile in the tissues causing jaundice and systemic toxicity, Aajonus's own experience with the carrot juice and cream protocol involved vomiting yellow, orange, and green bile periodically. He describes this as an ongoing process requiring consistency: "The more you do it, the quicker you will release the bile from the tissues."

There is no "recovery" from gallbladder removal in Aajonus's framework, the organ is gone, and the body permanently loses its concentrated bile reserve. The adaptation is lifelong: permanently eating fat in small amounts, spread throughout the day, never in large quantities at once. No timeline for resolution because it is a permanent structural change.
