According to Aajonus, a hemorrhoid is a distended or ruptured vein in or around the anus. He described it as a condition caused by the accumulation of volatile toxins. He specified the exact mechanism: the body is attempting to dump heavy metals, such as mercury, formaldehyde, or thallium, out of the body through the bloodstream. When the body dumps these toxins, it uses whatever elimination route is available at the time, and the rectal and anal venous system can become one of those routes.

He described the condition in precise anatomical terms during workshop settings, showing photographs and diagrams. He stated: "This is a hemorrhoid. This is the rectum here. This person was screaming, screaming in pain." He made clear that the pain experienced in hemorrhoids is directly related to the severity of the toxic dump occurring through that vascular territory.

He also described it as the veins in the anal and rectal area swelling in an attempt to dilute toxins and break them down so they do not kill the cells. The swelling is not pathological stupidity in his framework, it is the body's intelligent response to a toxic burden being routed through the veins of the anorectal area.

He further described the physical appearance: in the photographs he showed, there was visible internal bleeding, with broken capillaries and veins resulting from the passage of heavy metals and volatile toxins through the delicate vascular tissue of the rectum and anus.

He stated that the rectum becomes a site where fecal toxins, particularly solvents, penetrate directly into the arterial walls and sphincter tissue, and then the surrounding veins must clean that toxicity as well. As a result, those veins begin to swell in an effort to dilute the toxins and prevent cell death. That is what hemorrhoids are, in his own words.

Aajonus identified multiple interrelated root causes for hemorrhoids:

Heavy Metal Toxicity Exiting Through the Blood

The primary cause Aajonus identified was heavy metal toxicity, specifically mercury, formaldehyde, and thallium, attempting to leave the body through the bloodstream and exiting via the blood vessels in and around the rectum. He stated: "Hemorrhoids are usually very heavy metal toxicity that's in the blood, leaving the blood through the blood. You see the body's trying to dump a lot of mercury or formaldehyde or thallium out of the body through the bloodstream. The body will use whatever it can at the time."

The Breaking of Capillaries and Veins

Just as mercury molecules can bind with tubulin proteins and prevent formation of myelin sheaths around nerves, Aajonus explained that in the rectal area these same heavy metals break the capillaries and veins, causing internal bleeding. He made the comparison explicitly: "Like you saw the mercury molecule binding with the tubulin, and it wouldn't allow them to attach to the other tubulin to make that wall, that sheath of the myelin in the nerves. Well, here, it's breaking the capillaries and veins, so there's all this internal bleeding."

Fecal Toxicity Penetrating the Arterial Walls and Sphincter Tissue

Aajonus described a second mechanism operating at the local level: fecal matter that is highly toxic, containing solvents, penetrates directly into the arterial walls or directly into the sphincter tissue. When that happens, the surrounding veins must clean out that toxicity as well, which causes them to swell. He stated: "As your fecal matter goes out and it's so toxic, because, as I said, some of it involves solvents. It goes right into the arterial walls, or right into the sphincter tissue and then the surrounding veins have to clean that, so they get the toxicity too. So they start swelling, trying to dilute it, trying to break it down so it doesn't actually kill the cells. And that's what hemorrhoids are."

Acid Blood and Excess Acid-Forming Minerals

Aajonus also identified an acid blood condition as a contributing factor to hemorrhoids. He told one attendee who was getting hemorrhoids from eating red meat that their blood was too acidic, not from alkaline-forming substances but from acid-forming minerals and toxins stored in the body from a lifetime of accumulation. He said: "If you're getting hemorrhoids, then eat the fish for about a week and then it could be either fish or chicken. Your blood is too acid. There's too many minerals which are acid-forming in your blood. Not alkaline-forming, but acid-forming. From toxins? From toxins, yeah. From debris, could be anything that's stored in your body from a lifetime."

The Body's Lack of Protein in the Local Area

Aajonus additionally noted that when the hemorrhoid is actively causing pain and bleeding, it shows a great lack of protein in the general area, meaning the tissues do not have the raw materials needed to repair the broken capillaries and veins. This is why his immediate treatment involved introducing raw protein directly at the site.

Hard Fecal Matter Tearing Rectal Tissue

Aajonus distinguished between hemorrhoids caused by blood toxicity and rectal bleeding caused by hard fecal matter tearing the rectal tissue. He described extensively from his own experience: from childhood through age 58 or older, he suffered from constipation so severe that fecal matter came out "hard as granite" and ripped his rectum every time. This caused progressive buildup of scar tissue, eventually an inch to two inches thick all the way around the rectum, which completely eliminated elasticity and made any bowel movement a tearing, bleeding event. He described this as a separate but related condition, connected to the same toxic burden affecting the intestinal walls.

Vein Pattern in the Hands as a Predictive Indicator

Aajonus observed from palm reading practice that people with very large, prominent veins in the base of the palm, in the area corresponding to the prostate, rectum, and sex glands, have a tendency toward hemorrhoids. He stated: "On your right hand you have two very, very large veins in the ball, the sex gland area, and the base right here is where the prostate and rectum fall, and your veins indicate that you would have a tendency toward hemorrhoids." When one attendee confirmed they did have hemorrhoids, Aajonus said: "Because of the veins in there." He noted this was purely observational, he did not know mechanistically why this correspondence existed, saying: "It's just what I've observed. I don't know why. I didn't make the hand."

Hemorrhoids fit primarily within the Root Cause / Terrain Theory and the Detoxification of Aajonus's framework.

Root Cause / Terrain Theory: The body is not malfunctioning when it develops hemorrhoids. The swelling of the veins is an intelligent, purposeful response to the presence of toxic material, heavy metals, solvents, acid-forming minerals, in the blood and in the fecal matter passing through the anorectal canal. The veins swell to dilute, neutralize, and break down the toxins so they do not kill the cells.

Detoxification: The hemorrhoid is a detoxification event. The body is actively moving mercury, formaldehyde, thallium, or other volatile compounds out of the body through the bloodstream, using the anal and rectal vascular bed as the exit route. This is the body solving a problem, not creating one. The bleeding that results is a natural consequence of the capillaries and veins being broken by the passage of these heavy metals.

Cooked Food / Raw Food: The condition of the fecal matter, and therefore the degree to which it irritates and penetrates the arterial walls and sphincter tissue, is directly connected to diet. Cooked food and toxic food produce more solvent-laden, harder, more irritating fecal matter. The transition to raw food softens stools and reduces the toxic load being deposited into the venous walls.

How to Eat: The specific dietary adjustments, switching from red meat to fish or chicken when hemorrhoids are occurring, using raw fat to pull the toxins away from the venous walls, inserting raw beef into the rectum, all belong to the practical "how to eat and apply food therapeutically" framing.

Pain: The excruciating pain of hemorrhoids, Aajonus described a case where the person was "screaming, screaming in pain", is the pain of heavy metal toxins breaking capillaries and veins as they exit the body. It is not the body attacking itself. It is the body routing concentrated toxic material through vascular tissue that cannot withstand the chemical assault without damage.

Swelling: The swelling of the veins is not disease, it is the veins doing their job. They swell to increase blood volume locally, which dilutes the concentration of the toxic material, and to increase the supply of white blood cells and other cleansing elements to the area so the toxins can be broken down before they kill the surrounding cells.

Bleeding: Internal and external bleeding from hemorrhoids is the direct result of the heavy metals and volatile toxins breaking the capillary and venous walls. It is not a sign of "disease" in the conventional sense, it is collateral damage from the body's elimination process. The body shows "a great lack of protein in the general area" at this point, meaning the tissues need raw protein to rebuild the damaged walls.

Visible Vein Development in Hemorrhoidal Area: The visible prominence of veins in the anorectal region is a sign of the toxic burden being routed through that area, combined with an individual constitutional tendency (as indicated by the hand vein pattern) toward using that exit route.

Recurring Bleeding with Bowel Movements: In Aajonus's own case, this was not a sign of hemorrhoids per se but of scar tissue accumulated from years of hard, granite-like fecal matter tearing the rectum. He distinguished this clearly: the scar tissue had no elasticity, so even a small stool would cause tearing and bleeding. This is mechanically different from the vascular swelling of a true hemorrhoid, though the two can coexist.

Blood in Fecal Matter in the Toilet: Aajonus was emphatic that this should not cause panic. He stated: "The doctors love to get your thousands of dollars when they see blood in your faecal matter. And they say, if you've got blood in your faecal matter in the toilet after you move, you're in danger. Yeah, you're in danger of losing thousands of dollars." He said a small amount of blood, a teaspoon to a tablespoon, is expected and normal, seals up immediately, and is never dangerous unless cups of blood are being lost.

Aajonus's most specific and distinctive treatment for hemorrhoids was the insertion of a piece of raw beef directly into the rectum. He described this protocol in detail:

• Cut raw beef into a small-finger-sized slice
• Insert the slice into the rectum, leaving only 1/8 inch protruding from the anus
• Leave it in place day and night until the hemorrhoids disappear
• Replace with a fresh slice every 24 hours

He confirmed this protocol with a clinical description from a workshop, showing photographs. The person with the hemorrhoids was in excruciating pain, "screaming, screaming in pain." Aajonus instructed this person to put a barbell-shaped piece of raw meat (shaped to fit the sphincter, thicker at both ends, narrower in the middle, with the fiber orientation of the meat running longitudinally so it could be pushed up into the sphincter) into the area. He stated that "within 24 hours, he was painless. It took about five days for that to go away."

He explained the mechanism: the area shows a great lack of protein. The raw meat supplies that protein directly to the damaged vascular tissue. The meat serves as a local protein source for rebuilding the broken capillaries and veins, while simultaneously providing a medium for the body to use for detoxification right at the site.

The barbell shape was specifically designed for the sphincter: "I had this fellow stick a piece of raw meat, cut like a barbell, you know, so it was like this and with fiber. So I had to push it up in there. It was very, very painful to push it up in there."

For attendees who were developing hemorrhoids from eating red meat, Aajonus prescribed a specific dietary correction:

• If getting hemorrhoids, eat fish for approximately one week
• After the fish week, can transition to either fish or chicken
• The goal is to counterbalance the acid-forming minerals in the blood that are too high from red meat consumption
• Eat fish or chicken in the same meal with the red meat, one to three bites of fish with the red meat, as a counterbalance if eating red meat alongside other foods

He explained: "If you're getting hemorrhoids, then eat the fish for about a week and then it could be either fish or chicken. Acidic in my blood? Your blood is too acid. There's too many minerals which are acid-forming in your blood. Not alkaline-forming, but acid-forming. From toxins, yes."

Aajonus emphasized that raw fat is essential in pulling toxins away from the venous walls, preventing them from penetrating the arterial walls and sphincter tissue in the first place. He noted that an attendee who started eating raw fat reported that the vein prominence in their hand (which he said indicates hemorrhoid tendency) started pulling down "almost immediately." He explained: "Yes. Because what happens, as your fecal matter goes out and it's so toxic, because, as I said, some of it involves solvents. It goes right into the arterial walls, or right into the sphincter tissue and then the surrounding veins have to clean that, so they get the toxicity too. So they start swelling... And that's what hemorrhoids are."

Raw fat prevents this by binding with the solvents in the fecal matter before they can penetrate the arterial and sphincter walls. The fat must be raw, not cooked, to perform this protective function.

Aajonus specified that eating alkalizing foods soothes and gradually heals the hemorrhoid condition. He referenced his full "Alkalizing food" section for the complete list, but in the context of hemorrhoids he pointed to the general category of foods that reduce acid formation in the body.

Aajonus told one attendee with bleeding: "You should drink about a quart a day, and four ounces of it will be the cabbage. On the days that you're bleeding, then you want a whole cup of it." Green cabbage juice, specifically green head cabbage, a Chinese leaf cabbage, was his go-to remedy for stopping bleeding of any kind, including hemorrhoidal bleeding. This is because green cabbage juice is rich in vitamins K and U, which promote clotting.

For one attendee who appeared to not be absorbing minerals well, especially during episodes of bleeding, Aajonus prescribed: "Make sure that you have an equal amount of butter with the cheese." He specified that eating cheese without an equal amount of butter would be problematic for mineral absorption during bleeding episodes.

While Aajonus distinguished this from hemorrhoids proper, he described a protocol he developed for his own rectal scar tissue situation: "Come up with the suppository formula." Though the exact formula details for this specific suppository are not elaborated in these passages beyond the raw meat suppository, he did note that the tapeworm he acquired was ultimately what resolved his lifelong rectal bleeding by softening the fecal matter so it no longer tore the tissue.

Aajonus described a specific case where recovery was rapid: - Within 24 hours: Complete cessation of pain. The person went from "screaming, screaming in pain" to painless within one day. - Within 5 days: Full resolution of the hemorrhoid. He stated: "It took about five days for that to go away."

Aajonus said: "If you're getting hemorrhoids, eat the fish for about a week." This implies the hemorrhoid condition resolves or substantially improves within approximately one week when the dietary acid-blood correction is made.

Aajonus described this as a gradual process: "Eating alkalizing foods soothes and gradually heals the condition." No specific timeline was given for this slower approach, but the implication is that it works over days to weeks.

One attendee noted that "the raw fat started pulling those down almost immediately", referring to the prominent veins in the hand that indicate hemorrhoid tendency. This suggests that raw fat can begin affecting the underlying condition relatively quickly, though complete resolution of existing hemorrhoids would take longer.

Aajonus described a much longer, more complex personal timeline related to rectal bleeding from hard stools and scar tissue accumulation: - From approximately age 2 through age 22, he moved his bowels once every 3-7 days, each time tearing his rectum, accumulating scar tissue to approximately 1 inch thick all the way around - He continued bleeding with every bowel movement from age 22 through age 58, even after going on a raw food diet at approximately age 22-25 (around 1972) - The raw food diet helped him have bowel movements daily rather than every 3-7 days, but the first stool of the day remained large and granite-hard, continuing to cause tearing - At age 58, he acquired a tapeworm (in Vietnam or Thailand) which immediately resolved the hardness of his fecal matter - "Since I had that parasite, I haven't had it once. My fecal matter never gets larger than my two thumbs together." - He stated: "That tapeworm caused all my feces to be smaller and thinner and soft, even at the beginning of the feces. Ever since then, I have not had [bleeding]." - "After I had the tapeworm, I haven't bled since. That was from 58 to nearly 65. I've not bled one time since that tapeworm." - At the time of a later seminar, he noted his rectum was still approximately 40% scar tissue, and he occasionally had a spot of blood, "a teaspoon at the most", if he went several days without a bowel movement (which sometimes happened during seminars when he was walking around and losing fluids through evaporation), but this "seals up right away" and he stated "there's never any danger."
