Glaucoma, in Aajonus's framework, is a condition characterized by edema in the eyeball and hardening of the conjunctiva. He described it in precise physical terms as a situation where more blood is going into the eye than is leaving the eye, a circulatory imbalance that creates pressure buildup within the eyeball itself.

He was careful to distinguish between a formal diagnosis of glaucoma and actual glaucoma with its logical symptoms present. He stated directly: "I know a lot of people who are diagnosed with glaucoma, but they don't have the logical symptoms of it." This distinction was important in his framework because it altered what protocols would and would not apply, particularly around the cheese restriction.

The edema aspect, excess fluid in the eyeball, reflects his broader terrain understanding that congested or imbalanced circulation allows waste products and fluids to accumulate in tissues faster than they can be removed, creating swelling and hardening.

Aajonus traced the root cause of glaucoma to a hormonal problem combined with a saturation of tissues, drawing a direct analogy to the diabetic state. He stated:

"Okay, usually when somebody has glaucoma they have a hormonal problem and a saturation of tissues, just like a diabetic. Most diabetics go glaucomic. Most people with excessive adrenal glands also get that. They get cataracts and glaucoma."

He elaborated that the specific hormones involved are those that bind with sugars, and that sugars function as an acid in the body:

"An overabundance of adrenalin in the body, or insulin. Any kind of hormone that will bind with sugars. Because the sugars are an acid. They eat sheaths away."

So the causal chain in his framework looks like this: - Hormonal excess (particularly insulin or adrenaline) - These hormones bind with sugars - Sugars are acidic and eat away at nerve sheaths and tissue coatings - Tissues become saturated and unable to move fluids efficiently - Circulation into the eye exceeds circulation out of the eye - Edema accumulates within the eyeball - The conjunctiva hardens as a consequence

He specifically linked glaucoma to diabetes, stating that if a person with glaucoma is also diabetic, the glaucoma is "probably due to poorly assimilated or metabolized sugars". This means the diabetic glaucoma case has an additional layer: it is not merely hormonal excess in isolation, but a failure of sugar assimilation that compounds the tissue saturation.

For non-diabetic glaucoma, excessive adrenal gland activity, an overabundance of adrenaline in the body, is equally implicated. This creates a parallel mechanism in which a different hormone (adrenaline rather than insulin) still binds with sugars and creates the same acidic tissue-eating cascade.

He also noted the circulatory obstruction dimension more specifically in a later Q&A, describing the condition as one in which the eye's drainage is compromised. The exit passage from the eye becomes congested, which is consistent with his broader framework of lymphatic and circulatory blockages being the proximate mechanism of edema conditions throughout the body.

Glaucoma in Aajonus's framework sits at the intersection of multiple causal layers:

Root Cause / Terrain Theory: The foundational explanation sits in terrain theory, glaucoma is not a disease caused by bacteria or a pathogen, but rather a condition of tissue saturation, hormonal imbalance, and circulatory stagnation. The body's terrain has been so compromised by acidic hormonal waste products that the eye cannot maintain healthy fluid exchange.

Cooked Food / Detoxification: The specific foods he flagged as causes, processed sugars, cooked foods, place this also in the cooked food framework. The body is accumulating by-products of improperly metabolized cooked sugars and hormonal byproducts that it cannot efficiently eliminate.

How to Eat / Raw Food: The protocol is entirely a raw food intervention, raw red meat, raw fish, raw tomatoes, raw olive oil, unheated honey, raw hot pepper, placing the solution firmly in the Raw Food and How to Eat.

Sovereignty: The fact that Aajonus consistently presented glaucoma as healable through diet alone, without pharmaceutical eye drops, surgery, or conventional intervention, fits his Sovereignty framework, the idea that the body, properly nourished with raw foods, can reverse conditions that conventional medicine considers degenerative and progressive.

Edema and pressure in the eye: In conventional medicine, this is measured as intraocular pressure and treated with pressure-lowering drops or surgery. In Aajonus's framework, this is simply a circulatory imbalance, more fluid entering than leaving, and the solution is to restore proper circulation, not to artificially lower pressure through pharmaceutical intervention.

Hardening of the conjunctiva: This is the tissue becoming rigid and less functional as a result of accumulated waste products and tissue saturation. It is not a disease process in isolation but a consequence of the broader terrain failure.

Eye congestion (feeling of congestion, floaters, decreased reading vision): In one Q&A, a person described their glaucomatous eye as feeling "congested" and mentioned floaters and decreased reading vision. Aajonus confirmed that circulatory congestion was the mechanism, specifically that blood was going into the eye faster than it could leave, and that this congestion was the physical experience of the edema.

Hypertension in the eye: When a patient directly asked "Why does my eye have hypertension in it? Is it to push out toxins?", Aajonus's response confirmed that the elevated pressure was the circulatory imbalance, and his advice addressed restoring circulation rather than suppressing the pressure symptom.

Floaters: These were mentioned in context of glaucoma symptoms but not separately analyzed as a distinct mechanism in the available passages. They appear as an accompanying phenomenon of the congested eye state.

Decreased vision / reading difficulty: Aajonus contextualized this within the broader framework of protein deficiency to eye tissue, noting that in many vision problems, red meat deficiency is the proximate cause of blurred or degraded vision. For glaucoma specifically, the combination of circulatory restoration and direct nutritional support to the eye through the protocol addresses this.

Aajonus provided a detailed, multi-component food protocol for glaucoma across several sources. The full protocol, including all variations and additional specifics from Q&A responses, is as follows:

1. Raw Red Meat, Daily - "Eating raw red meat daily helps reverse glaucoma." - The quantity is not specified for glaucoma in isolation, though for general eye health he recommended at least 4 ounces of red meat daily in related Q&A contexts for vision disorders - Red meat specifically (not fish, not chicken, not turkey) has a unique effect on eye conditions in his framework: "However, when it comes to the vision of the eye, when you start getting blurred vision, it's a low red meat substance that clears it", and he described this as somewhat paradoxical since the eye has more nerve tissue than muscle, and white meats generally serve nerve tissue better, but empirically red meat was what worked for eye conditions

2. Stone-Pressed Olive Oil, ¼ cup daily - Specifically stone-pressed (not commercially extracted olive oil) - ¼ cup daily is the stated quantity - This was a consistent component of the core protocol

3. Fresh Raw Tomatoes Blended into Puree with Plenty of Unheated Honey and a Little Fresh Live Hot Pepper, Once or Twice Daily - All three ingredients together: fresh raw tomatoes, blended to puree, combined with plenty of unheated honey, and a little fresh live hot pepper - Frequency: once or twice daily - The tomatoes must be fresh and raw, not cooked, not canned, not processed - The honey must be unheated, heated honey loses its enzymatic and bioavailable properties in his framework - The hot pepper must be fresh and live, dried or cooked pepper would not have the same effect

4. Fresh Raw Fish, At Least Once Daily - Fresh raw fish at minimum once per day - This is in addition to the red meat, both are used simultaneously - The fish serves a different function than red meat; in his framework fish serves neurological tissue regeneration better than red meat, and the eye has extensive nerve tissue. However, for the specific glaucoma reversal protocol, both are required

In a direct Q&A response about glaucoma, Aajonus provided these additional or clarifying elements:

Hot Water Bottle Application: "Applying a hot water bottle to the temple side of the face where an effected eye is, helps increase circulation in and out of that eye." - Specifically placed at the temple side of the face, not directly over the eye - Purpose: increase circulation both into and out of the eye, addressing the circulatory imbalance directly - He provided this as a physical/topical intervention complementing the dietary protocol

Cheese, Modified Protocol: "Do not decrease consumption of cheese, however do not eat Cheddar; Colby or Jack is preferable for the eyes. I suggest consuming 1 cube (sugar-cube-size amount, that is 1/2 tsp.) 10 mi..." [text cuts off] - Colby or Jack cheese is preferable for the eyes over Cheddar in this context - The quantity: 1 cube = sugar-cube-size = approximately ½ teaspoon - The timing: "10 mi..." (presumably 10 minutes before or after something, text is cut off)

Egg White in the Eye, Topically Applied: For glaucoma specifically, Aajonus recommended applying raw egg white directly to the eye, stating the frequency should be two to three times per day: "Well, for somebody who has got glaucoma, they should do it two or three times a day. Because it actually feeds the eye, like if you were to put certain nutrients on your neck, it would be absorbed into your body..."

Application method: "Just put it on your little finger and just look up and put it on the white of the eye itself and then roll it."

He also described a more thorough method for general eye treatment: place approximately ½ teaspoon in an eye cup, hold head back, hold eyelid open, roll the eye around approximately five times, let it back down, remove the eye cup, open the eye again, and roll for about a minute.

Butter Applied to Eye, At Night: - Apply raw butter (melted in the palm) to the eye at night before sleep - Same technique as egg white: pull lower eyelid down, look up, apply to the white of the eye, roll eye around to coat - This provides a different, "cleansing" nourishment to the eye, versus egg white which is primarily protein and strengthening - Will create foggy vision for approximately 30 minutes, so should be done immediately before sleep - Sheep's butter mentioned as slightly more effective than cow's butter in the broader eye context

Egg White Application Details (from sources): - Morning application: egg white - Night application: butter - For glaucoma: two to three times daily (egg white) given the severity of the condition - The eye absorbs topically applied egg white within approximately three minutes

| Component | Amount | Frequency | |---|---|---| | Raw red meat | At least 4 oz (general eye); daily for glaucoma | Daily | | Stone-pressed olive oil | ¼ cup | Daily | | Raw tomato puree with unheated honey and fresh live hot pepper | Not specified beyond "several fresh raw tomatoes" with "plenty of honey" and "a little" hot pepper | 1-2x daily | | Fresh raw fish | At least one serving | Daily | | Colby or Jack cheese | 1 sugar-cube-sized piece (~½ tsp) | Timing cut off in source | | Raw egg white applied to eye | Applied to white of eye, rolled around | 2-3x daily | | Raw butter applied to eye | Melted in palm, applied to white of eye | At night before sleep | | Hot water bottle at temple | Applied to temple-side of affected eye | Not fully specified |

Aajonus stated that following the full protocol "usually heals this condition in several months."

He did not specify a precise number of months beyond "several," but the implication from his framework and other references to eye healing timelines suggests this could be anywhere from three to six months for significant improvement, with complete resolution varying based on the individual's overall terrain, degree of tissue saturation, whether diabetes is a complicating factor, and how strictly the protocol is followed.

For diabetic-related glaucoma: The timeline would be linked to the progress of addressing the underlying diabetes, poorly assimilated or metabolized sugars would need to be corrected first, and glaucoma would resolve as part of that larger healing process. See his Diabetes protocols for that dimension.

The 6-month cheese avoidance: The fact that the cheese avoidance was specified at exactly 6 months suggests his estimate for the primary healing window was approximately 6 months. After that period, cheese could presumably be reintroduced.

For the topical egg white treatment: He indicated that improvements began rapidly, within weeks in some cases, when egg white was applied consistently. He described his own experience with a different eye condition where "within a month my eyes were almost the same, back to normal." For glaucoma, the two-to-three-times-daily application would presumably accelerate this.

The hormonal/tissue saturation dimension: Since glaucoma has a root cause in hormonal imbalance and tissue saturation, full resolution requires the body to clear those hormonal waste products and acids from the tissues, a process that in his framework could take considerably longer than the symptomatic relief. The "several months" likely refers to the healing of the immediate condition (edema, hardening), while the underlying terrain work takes longer.
