Aajonus defined hypoglycemia, low blood sugar, as a condition where the pancreas over-secretes insulin. The excess insulin binds with sugars and converts them into glycogen (a storable sugar), causing the blood to become depleted of available sugar. He described this as very often being a precursor to diabetes, because the pancreas becomes exhausted from overproducing insulin. This overproduction simultaneously overworks the liver.

He was emphatic that hypoglycemia is not simply a matter of a blood test reading showing low sugar, but is defined by functional symptoms, whether or not the person can physically and mentally function. He stated clearly: "The only measure of poor blood-sugar levels is whether you can function or not."

He distinguished between two entirely different sources of blood sugar in the body:

1. Carbohydrate-derived glycogen: Made from dietary sugars and starches. This creates blood sugar that is associated with high levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), sticky, toxic byproducts that remain stored in the blood, lymph, and neurological fluids at a rate of 70–90%.

2. Pyruvate (protein sugar): Made from protein, specifically through the body's use of glucagon converting protein into a blood sugar called pyruvate. This process generates only 7–8% advanced glycation end product, a quantity the body can handle and eliminate without storing. Aajonus stated the body can handle up to 12–15% without issue.

He described the neurological consequences of carbohydrate-derived glycogen as the blood and neurological fluids becoming "very thick and sticky," causing the synapse to misfire, the blood to move sluggishly, cells to stick to each other, and oxygen transport to be impaired. He compared it to putting honey or molasses all over the cells, "Then try to do the same dance. You're going to stick to each other."

He also identified a third form of sugar problem: toxic sugars that have been stored in the system from previous years of eating refined or processed foods, which the body eventually releases during detoxification. These can show up on blood tests as high blood sugar, but they are not available, active blood sugar causing current dysfunction. They are attached to fat molecules and being cleared from the tissues.

Aajonus identified multiple root causes and contributing factors for hypoglycemia:

Primary Cause, Refined and Mutant Sugars: Refined sugars are described as "mutations." When they enter the blood, they enter too fast. The body first tries to convert them into a more natural sugar form, but most of the refined sugar passes directly into the blood as mutations. These mutant sugars over-stimulate the liver and pancreas. Eventually, bile and hormones like insulin bind with these sugars and strip them from the blood, leaving the blood low in sugar, which is hypoglycemia.

He stated: "When mutant sugars enter the blood, the pancreas overproduces insulin even if the blood sugar is low. Refined sugars are mutations, including flash pasteurized products. They enter the blood too fast."

The Candy Cycle: He used the example of someone who eats a lot of candy. A huge amount of sugar enters the body, which stimulates the pancreas to produce a massive surge of insulin to drive the blood sugar down, often overshooting and creating low blood sugar. This triggers craving for more sugar, and the cycle continues. He described this as neurological impairment: "The brain won't function. Your cognitive abilities are removed... it turns you to the point where you binge on them. Because you keep getting low blood sugar. And low blood sugar can cause all kinds of problems in the system."

Improper Insulin Production: In some cases, Aajonus described people whose pancreases are manufacturing insulin, but the insulin being produced is not properly workable, it cannot be properly utilized by the body. These people will still experience hypoglycemic or diabetic effects despite having a functioning pancreas, because the quality of the insulin itself is deficient.

Excessive High-Carbohydrate Eating: He stated that eating too much raw fresh fruit and fruit juices, even raw ones, can, over a long period of time, lead to the same exhaustion of the pancreas that refined sugars cause, though it would take considerably longer. He said: "Although it would take considerably longer, the same can result from eating too much raw fresh fruit and fruit juices."

Morning Glycogen Formation, The Critical Six-to-Seven-Hour Window: Aajonus taught that the body makes all of its glycogen for the day, the fuel for the brain and nervous system, in the first six to seven hours after waking. Whatever food is consumed in this window determines what the body will use to make its glycogen. If high-carbohydrate foods are eaten during this window, the body makes glycogen from carbohydrates, resulting in sticky, AGE-laden neurological fluid for the entire day. If only protein and fat are consumed in this window, the body makes glycogen from pyruvate, clean, non-sticky, and non-storing.

Not Eating During the Night: He identified nighttime fasting as a direct cause of morning hypoglycemia-like states. He described that in a three-hour period, the body can lose up to five to eight tablespoons of red blood cells (creating severe anemia), and that the protein in the blood can drop to zero after five hours without eating. The red blood cells begin consuming each other. This is why people wake up lethargic and reach for caffeine, chocolate, sugar, or nicotine, none of which actually address the root problem.

He stated: "In a three-hour period, you could lose up to five, eight tablespoons of red blood cells. That's severe anemia." And: "If you go five hours without eating, the blood in your protein in the blood level drops to zero. So, the red blood cells start eating each other."

Over-Alkalinity: He noted that people with sugar problems, including diabetics, almost always have over-alkalinity in the blood. This is why vegetable juice alone without added fat can be a problem for people with sugar issues, as it further alkalizes the system.

Making Glycogen from Carbohydrates Instead of Pyruvate: He framed the entire blood sugar instability issue as fundamentally a consequence of the modern high-carbohydrate diet forcing the body to make glycogen from carbohydrate instead of from protein. The body was, in his view, never meant to be fueled primarily by carbohydrates. He stated: "Human wasn't meant for that."

Hypoglycemia sits at the intersection of several of Aajonus's philosophical domains:

Cooked Food / Processed Food: The primary trigger is refined sugars and processed carbohydrates, mutations that enter the blood too fast and destabilize the pancreatic response. Flash pasteurized products are included in this category.

Root Cause / Terrain Theory: The over-secretion of insulin in response to mutant sugars is a terrain response, the body is doing what it can with what it's been given. The pancreas is not failing; it is being overwhelmed. The real cause is dietary mutation, not a defect in the gland itself.

How to Eat: The entire morning-eating protocol, no high carbohydrates in the first six to seven hours, meat first, fat with all fruit, eating during the night, is directly aimed at preventing hypoglycemia, maintaining stable blood sugar derived from pyruvate rather than dietary carbohydrate.

Detoxification: The appearance of high blood sugar on tests during detoxification, old toxic sugars being released from storage attached to fat molecules, is reframed as a detox event, not a worsening of the condition. He documented a client whose blood sugar stayed high for five weeks after completely eliminating all fruit and honey, because the sugar was coming from stored toxins being released, not from diet.

Sovereignty: The diagnosis of hypoglycemia or diabetes based on a single blood test during a period when the pancreas was detoxifying, followed by lifetime insulin prescription, is described as a pharmaceutical trap. He called it "an absurdity" and "a big racket."

True Hypoglycemia vs. Medically Labeled Hypoglycemia: Aajonus drew a sharp distinction between what the medical profession calls hypoglycemia or diabetes (based on blood test numbers) and what he considered genuinely problematic low blood sugar (based on functional inability to operate).

He stated the only true indicators of a serious blood sugar/insulin problem are: - You literally cannot get out of bed after a night's sleep - You cannot get off the couch - Breathing is essentially all the energy you can produce - You get extremely disoriented even after eating - You cannot stand without feeling faint after lying or sitting for a while - You cannot think straight - You have no energy whatsoever

He stated explicitly: "If you are able to get out of bed, literally, after a night's sleep, you do not have an insulin/glycogen problem."

High Blood Sugar on Tests, Not Necessarily a Problem: He reframed high blood sugar readings entirely. He described having high blood sugar himself regularly: "I have high blood sugar all the time but I'm not diabetic." He taught that the blood sugar level on a test may reflect: 1. Toxic stored sugars being released from tissue during detoxification 2. The body throwing excess sugar into the blood because the person is eating the wrong kinds of sugars, not because they are diabetic 3. Over-alkalinity in the blood

He demonstrated this with a client experiment: the client stopped eating all fruit and honey for five weeks, ate only four ounces of nuts per week with no nut butter near a blood test, and the blood sugar reading was just as high. The sugar was coming from toxic stores in the system being released, not from food.

Dizziness, Shakiness, Near-Fainting: He described these as real symptoms that can occur during genuine blood sugar crashes, particularly in the morning (from overnight fasting), or after exercise, or after eating refined sugars in the candy cycle. He also described experiencing them himself during the glucose tolerance test, shaking, unable to write, feeling dizzy, as the body's reaction to a sudden load of refined glucose, not as a sign of ongoing disease.

Frequent Hunger and Urination, Impaired Vision, Muscle Cramps After Eating Sweets, Slow Wound Healing: These symptoms are listed as signs associated with impaired ability to utilize carbohydrate blood sugar or protein blood sugar (pyruvate), caused by insufficient or faulty insulin production by the pancreas. However, he placed these in the context of actual diabetes rather than simple hypoglycemia per se.

Mood Instability, Emotional Cycling: He described the emotional and behavioral consequences of blood sugar instability from his own experience as a juvenile diabetic: "The behavior with it when you're diabetic is you're emotional. You're never relaxed. You're never at ease. Sugar level's going up and down all the time. One minute, you can be screaming with a knife in your hand and you're going to kill somebody. The next minute, you're loving and kissing them."

He framed manic depression, ADHD, mood swings, and hyperactivity as consequences of high-carbohydrate eating creating blood sugar instability, either because there isn't enough insulin to convert the sugar into glycogen (leaving the nervous system and brain overstimulated by excess sugar), or because there is enough insulin and the sugar gets stored as glycogen, making the person very fat.

Brain Fog, Forgetfulness, Lethargy of Thinking, Confusion: These are reframed as direct consequences of carbohydrate-derived glycogen creating sticky neurological fluid, causing synapse misfiring. He said: "A lot of people that lose their train of thought are either deficient in blood sugar, too much sugar, and they're firing in the wrong areas of the memory, or to have the analysis."

Depression: He stated that transient depression is most often caused by low blood sugar. This is treated with specific food combinations rather than medication.

Morning Grogginess and Inability to Get Moving: He reframed the standard morning struggle as the result of nighttime neurological detoxification (the nervous system cleanses when there is no light, releasing free radicals and heavy metals from the brain into the lymph, blood, and intestines), combined with red blood cell depletion from not eating during the night, creating a state of practical anemia and toxic overload simultaneously. The blood sugar drop is secondary to these combined processes.

High Blood Sugar Making You Dizzy or Passing Out: He stated this happens when the blood thickens and becomes sticky from excess sugar, particularly carbohydrate-derived glycogen, which slows oxygen transport, causes cell aggregation, and impairs neurological signaling.

Combination Formula, Cooked Starch + Raw Fat + Fresh Fruit (All Together): This is specifically for people who have eaten a lot of candy or refined sugar and are experiencing a hypoglycemic crash from excess insulin being triggered. The logic: - Cooked starch goes in and binds with excess insulin - Raw fat binds with that complex and takes it to the bowels for elimination, so it does not store as glycogen again - Fresh raw fruit (raw sugar) is time-released because it is mixed with the fat and starch, it attaches to the fat molecules and does not all enter the blood at once, so blood sugar is maintained at a stable level

He gave the example of French bread as the cooked starch, with raw fat and fresh fruit. He emphasized these must be taken together, not separately: "Yes. Because what will happen is the cooked starch will go in and search for the excess insulin, bind with it, the raw fat will bind with that, take it to the bowels and dump, so it doesn't store as glycogen again."

He also mentioned licorice tea as something that tends to balance blood sugar in this context, and noted that chromium is commonly tried by people for this purpose (though he presented this without endorsement, merely noting others use it).

For Depression Caused by Low Blood Sugar (Immediate Relief): - ½ cup raw fresh fruit (orange, pineapple, or whatever appeals) blended with ½ cup unheated honey - Drink a little at a time, not all at once

Morning Orange Juice with Raw Cream: He described giving someone a large glass of a mixture of orange juice and certified raw cream, stating: "Most people have extremely low blood sugar in the mornings. That's why it's so difficult to awake and do anything. Stand up too fast with too low blood sugar and you'll get dizzy. Even black out."

Unheated Honey, 3 to 4 Ounces Daily: The primary remedy listed for hypoglycemia is eating 3–4 ounces of unheated honey daily. The reasoning: unheated honey contains an insulin-like substance that converts its carbohydrate content into enzymes, active, live enzymes used for protein utilization, assimilation, and digestion. Because of this insulin-like substance, only about 10% of unheated honey enters the blood as sugar. If honey is heated above 93°F, the insulin-like substance begins to be destroyed. By 100°F, the insulin-like substance is fully destroyed and the honey becomes essentially all sugar, 90% of it entering the blood as sugar. By 105°F the sugar becomes radical and damaging.

He stated: "Eating 3-4 ounces of unheated honey daily supplies enzymes to regulate and heal the pancreas and liver."

He also described that for true diabetes (impaired insulin production), about ¾ cup of unheated honey throughout each day replaces the functions of missing insulin while healing the pancreas and encouraging pancreatic function.

Small Amounts of Food Frequently: Rather than large, infrequent meals, he recommended eating small amounts frequently throughout the day to prevent the blood sugar from dropping between meals.

Raw Fat with All Fruit, Always: He was emphatic on this point: "Always have fat with your fruit. Always. Slow it down. You'll get hypoglycemia." (Without fat.) Raw fat slows the release of fruit sugar into the blood, preventing the spike-and-crash cycle. This applies to all situations. He stated that when he eats raw fat with fruit: 1) his blood sugar level doesn't get too high because fat time-releases the fruit sugar into the blood; 2) he doesn't have to eat constantly to keep sugar in the blood; 3) he gets two to three times more energy than when eating high-carbohydrate fruit alone.

Eating During the Night: For people whose blood sugar crashes during the night (waking with no energy, morning anemia states), he recommended setting an alarm for 3 hours after falling asleep and eating a small amount. Suggestions included: - A couple of eggs with some cheese, honey, and milk - Half a cup to one cup of milkshake - Raw milk - Raw eggs He stated this prevents the anemia that results from going five hours without eating, where red blood cells begin consuming each other.

The Morning Protocol, No High Carbohydrate in First Six to Seven Hours: He taught that from the moment of waking, the first six to seven hours of eating determine what type of glycogen the body will make for the entire day. To make clean, non-sticky pyruvate-based glycogen: - Begin with cheese to absorb the stomach acids that accumulated overnight - Follow with vegetable juice (with a tablespoon or two of raw cream if the person has sugar problems or over-alkalinity) to alkalinize the blood and provide enzymes and vitamins - Then, approximately one hour after waking, eat a meat meal (the "meeting meal" or steak and eggs) - Keep all carbohydrates very low during this entire first six to seven hours - Specifically avoid: high-sugar fruits, heavy milk (high lactose), large amounts of carrot juice, nuts, any high-carbohydrate foods

He stated: "If you eat only dairy, mainly eggs and meat, in that first six hours, you're not going to create your glycogen on carbohydrates. They're going to be made from the pyruvate, which is a protein sugar. And no advanced glycation end products result from the body forming glycogen from pyruvate."

The Cheese and Honey Combination: He described taking cheese and honey approximately 30 minutes after the morning meat meal to supply minerals for the day: "Then if I want to make sure I've got lots of minerals for the day, I have the cheese and honey afterward, about 30 minutes after that. Now my brain is set for the day."

Cream in Vegetable Juice: For people with sugar problems or over-alkalinity, he recommended always adding one to two tablespoons of raw cream to vegetable juice. This slows the alkalizing effect and prevents the juice from further disrupting blood sugar balance.

Red Meat as the Primary Blood Sugar Foundation: He described red meat as the best way to resolve blood sugar problems that cause depression and other symptoms, because when the body forms blood sugar from meat, it produces pyruvate, a protein sugar with clean, low-AGE byproducts allowing clean body serums, including in the nerves. He said: "The best way to resolve the blood-sugar problems that cause depression is to eat a lot of raw meat."

He personally described aiming to eat one to three pounds of meat a day, though acknowledging there are days when he eats none.

Fruit, One Per Day Maximum for Sugar-Problem People, Always with Fat: For people with diabetes, hyperglycemia, any type of sugar problem, or mania, he recommended limiting sweet or acid fruit to once a day, and always eating it with fat to slow it down. When making a smoothie with banana, for example, he recommended including raw butter or raw oil, plus eggs.

Wheatgrass Juice Protocol (Case-Specific): In one workshop consultation where a person had diabetic-type chemical conditions in the blood despite an okay-shaped pancreas, and was not forming proper insulin, he recommended: two ounces of wheatgrass juice with a quart of raw milk, three days a week. His reasoning was that this would help acidify the blood a little and potentially, through the growth hormone potential in wheatgrass, stimulate better pancreatic function.

Honey Quantity Proportional to Meat Intake: He gave a specific ratio: if eating a pound of honey a day, you can have up to six tablespoons of honey daily, scaled by protein intake. Honey intake should always be proportional to meat consumption, because the insulin-like substances in honey relate to protein metabolism. If honey is heated and the insulin-like substance is destroyed, it becomes pure carbohydrate, increasing AGE production.

Raw Pistachio Nuts with Raw Butter, Raw Egg, and Unheated Honey: He described this combination as having been useful for managing his own blood sugar when his adrenaline was high and he needed a starch-like stabilizer. He noted that this combination, because of its fat and raw food nature, would cause a blood sugar drop, so he kept non-steamed dates on hand to be ready for the drop.

For Carbohydrate Cravings / High-Carbohydrate Habits: He described the three-part formula, cooked starch + raw fat + fresh fruit, as at minimum a remedy for people who are going to continue eating a lot of sweet food, as a way to prevent the worst of the blood sugar swings.

His Own Case, Juvenile Diabetes to Fully Healed Pancreas: Aajonus described himself as a type 1 diabetic from age 15 who took insulin until almost age 22, when he decided to manage his condition through diet. He went through fruitarian phases, which he described as difficult and not ideal. Eventually he adopted a raw meat and fat-based diet with minimal fruit.

The complete reversal of his diabetes, documented by multiple medical testing institutions, took place over years. He described the results of glucose tolerance tests conducted at Washington University Medical School in St. Louis and at a medical university testing facility he visited on his way to Chicago:

• His pancreas took a blood sugar of approximately 240–360 (from the glucose tolerance test dose) down to 52–57, compared to the normal stopping point of 102–110
• He produced all four known varieties of insulin plus at least one variety of insulin that the testing team had never previously encountered
• He was described by doctors who had been practicing for decades as having "the best working pancreas they'd ever seen"
• This was from a person who had been a juvenile type 1 diabetic

He attributed this recovery entirely to diet, specifically the raw meat, raw dairy, and raw fat diet, with no high carbohydrate.

General Recovery from Hypoglycemia: He stated that when diabetics are put on a good diet and taken off insulin, they function normally easily. He cited his experience of working with over 120 diabetics, none of whom remained diabetic after following the protocol.

He stated that when Hippocrates gave diabetics a raw milk diet, nothing but raw milk, for six to ten weeks, their diabetes was completely gone. He added that people are now too toxic for that simple approach to work the same way.

Detox Sugars, Duration of High Blood Sugar on Tests: The case study of the client who stopped all fruit and honey for five weeks yet still had high blood sugar demonstrates that stored toxic sugars can continue to circulate in the blood for at least five weeks after completely eliminating all dietary sugar sources.

Daily Recovery from Morning Blood Sugar Drops: He described the morning protocol (cheese first, then juice with cream, then meat meal, then cheese and honey 30 minutes later) as sufficient to set the brain and nervous system for the entire day. This is a daily practice, not a one-time treatment.

Red Blood Cell Recovery After Nighttime Fasting: He stated that one night of not eating costs 24–36 hours of red blood cell reproduction time. Three days of dry fasting costs even more. This gives a sense of how quickly the blood sugar/anemia situation can deteriorate from fasting and how long recovery can take.
