According to Aajonus, the liver has one job and one job only when a person is healthy and eating properly: it manufactures bile. That is its sole natural function. He stated this explicitly and repeatedly across many workshops:

The bile produced by the liver is extraordinarily concentrated and potent. As Aajonus described it, one drop of bile can digest a significant volume of fat. The liver creates this bile and delivers it to the gallbladder, which is simply a storage organ, it manufactures nothing of its own. The gallbladder then releases bile into the duodenum as needed when fats are consumed. This is the entire, proper, natural sequence.

The 60 varieties of cholesterol that bile enables the body to produce are divided into three equal thirds of function: - One-third to give the body energy and make it strong and healthy with good fuel - One-third to lubricate, protect, and cleanse the body - One-third to help clean the body

All three functions are described as equally important and vital. Without proper bile production, none of these cholesterol functions can be carried out correctly.

Liver problems, in Aajonus's framework, are not diseases of the liver in the conventional sense. They represent a state in which the liver has been so overburdened, poisoned, and damaged, primarily by industrial chemicals, heavy metals, vaccines, medications, cooked fats, processed sugars, and other toxic substances, that it can no longer perform even its one natural job cleanly. Instead, it has been forced to take on additional functions it was never meant to carry, particularly acting as a secondary filter for toxins.

He described the modern liver as being forced to do five jobs instead of one, and the blood being forced to do two or three jobs instead of one, all because of the accumulated damage from modern diet and environment.

Aajonus was emphatic that the liver is fundamentally a protein body, not a fat body:

He also stated that the liver is the most concentrated protein anywhere in the body except the heart. This is critical because it means the liver's primary nutritional need for rebuilding is protein, not fat, though fats are needed to clean out the toxicity that a damaged liver creates.

Aajonus identified heavy metals as one of the most prevalent and damaging causes of liver problems. He observed this directly through iridology readings in many individual consultations. He described cases where a third of the liver was poisoned with metals, where metals had basically poisoned the entire organ, and where metals were lodged throughout the liver creating scar tissue and dysfunction.

Sources of heavy metal contamination he identified in specific cases included: - Vaccines and injections (including childhood vaccinations, tetanus shots, immigration-related vaccinations) - Lead from paint during childhood exposure during house remodeling - Chemical exposure on cotton farms and in cotton gins - Welding, metal shavings and dust, solvents, paints - Barium (from barium milkshakes used in medical imaging)

He described metals in the liver as blocking duct function, specifically noting cases where "the duct going into it doesn't look like it's open very well."

Cooked fats, particularly fried fats, are identified as a major ongoing stressor to the liver. Aajonus explained that when fats are cooked, particularly fried, the body does not send them out to the liver properly because the liver cannot handle them. The liver becomes overwhelmed and the ducts become compromised.

He described the relationship between cooked fats and the liver in terms of cholesterol production failure: when the liver is damaged or toxic, the fats being produced are inadequate, slightly more acidic than normal, and the body must dilute them with water, causing water retention.

Alcohol, both directly consumed and produced internally through excess carbohydrate fermentation in the body, was identified as a cause of liver scarring resembling cirrhosis. Aajonus described seeing livers that looked "almost like you've been an alcoholic" in people who had not been alcoholics but who had been on high-sugar or high-fruit diets, or high carbohydrate diets generally:

He also noted that fruitarians can have liver damage from too much sugar converting to alcohol and hardening the liver.

Across multiple consultations, Aajonus directly attributed liver damage to pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines. He observed that "whatever you took has damaged the liver" in a client whose doctors had been cycling through medications. He noted that "a vaccine or two went to [the liver] and destroyed your liver. Damaged it from digesting your fats."

He also identified chemotherapy as particularly damaging, and described medications broadly as creating volatile toxic conditions in the liver.

Aajonus listed pasteurized dairy (milk heated above 100°F) as a contributor to jaundice and liver contamination. He explained that undigested lactate, the milk sugar in pasteurized milk, strains the liver directly. He stated that carbohydrates from grains such as rice that cannot be completely digested or assimilated also collect in the liver and kidneys.

Any carbohydrate that the body converts into alcohol internally can cause liver damage. This includes not just obvious sugars but also overripe fruits, grain-based carbohydrates, and situations where the body is producing too much internal alcohol from fermentation.

For hepatitis in particular, Aajonus identified the root cause as lacking a particular fat-processing enzyme. This enzyme can be supplied by eating raw fresh unripe pineapple. He explained this across multiple discussions of hepatitis.

Liver problems span multiple principles in Aajonus's framework:

Root Cause / Terrain Theory: The liver is defined by its function, bile production, and liver problems arise when the terrain (the body's internal environment) is so poisoned and overburdened that the liver's functional integrity breaks down. This is a terrain-theory primary topic.

Cooked Food: The connection between cooked fats, processed sugars, pasteurized dairy, and liver damage is central. Cooked fats are specifically named as the substance the liver cannot handle.

Detoxification: The liver is the primary organ through which the body attempts industrial-chemical-level detoxification that bacteria, parasites, and fungi alone cannot accomplish. Hepatitis is described explicitly as a detoxification event, "the last ditch save for your liver", and liver problems generally represent a body trying to detoxify through an organ that was never designed for that job.

Microbes: Hepatitis is described as a viral/solvent detoxification process. Bacteria within the liver are described as a healing and cleansing mechanism in some workshop readings. The role of microbes in liver cleansing is affirmed.

How to Eat: The entire food protocol for liver rebuilding is practical dietary instruction, specific percentages of red meat versus white meat versus fish, specific quantities of butter and fats, juice formulas, timing, and pairings.

How to Live: Recovery timelines spanning years, lifestyle factors such as sun exposure for jaundice, and avoidance of ongoing toxic exposures all fall here.

Jaundice is reframed as a sign that the liver is contaminated, exhausted, and malfunctioning, not a disease requiring suppression. It can result from liver contamination by pasteurized dairy, medications, chemicals; from kidney dysfunction; from inability to digest cooked lactate; from carbohydrate-based grain accumulation in the liver; or from overproduction of bile that the body is producing in place of proper fats.

Aajonus observed jaundice visually (yellow complexion, yellowing of the eyes) and read it through iridology. He noted:

He interpreted bile in the system as the liver having shut down at some point and the body producing bile in place of fat to deal with toxins throughout the body.

Aajonus used dark circles as a diagnostic sign of liver problems:

He distinguished liver from kidney involvement: if there is puffiness along with the darkness, the kidneys are also involved; if there is only darkness without puffiness, it is a liver problem.

Both extremes of eating disorders were reframed as liver malfunction symptoms:

On the other extreme:

He explained that these are the two extremes of reactions from a faulty or toxic liver, insatiable appetite on one end, complete inability to eat on the other.

Nausea is reframed as the liver dumping acidic toxins into the stomach, causing the body to want to vomit. It is a sign of liver toxicity and bile accumulation, not an independent condition. He recommended specific foods to address it (see Food Protocol).

Difficulty digesting fat, especially cooked or fried fats, is a direct symptom of liver compromise. Aajonus described this in personal terms: he himself had severe fat digestion problems for years due to a liver full of metals with a blocked duct.

This was described as a sign that the liver is not producing bile. A husband's question submitted by email described stools as "white or sand-colored at best," and the question was raised whether this could result from eating only eggs and cheese. Aajonus identified this as a liver-not-producing-bile symptom, with both the liver's condition and the gallbladder's functioning relevant.

Water retention was connected to liver damage in cholesterol production. When the liver is damaged and cannot produce proper cholesterol, the fats produced are slightly more acidic than normal, and the body dilutes them with water to prevent tissue damage, producing edema and water retention.

Aajonus observed that bile throughout the system prevents proper healing and described sores on the face of a jaundiced person as very frequent in people who "can't heal properly. Because the bile prevents proper healing."

He also noted that bile reaching the skin can create lesions and psoriasis.

When the liver and lymphatic system are compromised, the blood is forced to do work it was not designed for. The result:

A brown spot in the iris without fibers was described as indicating cirrhosis. Cirrhosis produces a liver that becomes "almost a solid mass, cirrhosed tissue", a condition Aajonus described as requiring coconut cream with cucumbers to dissolve the hardening most quickly. He linked cirrhosis to volatile toxic conditions, excess hormone-related toxins, and alcohol (both consumed and internally produced).

Aajonus fundamentally reframed hepatitis as a positive detoxification event, not a disease:

He described hepatitis as a viral process that starts detoxifying when the liver breaks down with industrial chemicals that normal bacterial, parasitic, and fungal cleaning processes cannot handle. The virus is described as a solvent made by cells, liver cells, to accomplish chemical-level cleaning that biological organisms cannot. He stated:

He reported approximately 200 cases of hepatitis with the liver in great condition after about 6 years.

Eating raw animal liver was one of Aajonus's most consistent and repeated recommendations for liver problems. He specified:

• Eat liver once a week, or twice a week if truly wanting to promote liver rebuilding
• Any kind of liver is appropriate: beef liver, chicken liver, lamb liver, they are interchangeable
• Must be organic liver, because non-organic animals concentrate chemicals in their hormones, and those transfer when you eat the liver
• Liver is the most concentrated protein source outside the heart, and the liver needs protein above all else to rebuild

For those who dislike liver, Aajonus described his own method:

A specific hepatitis recipe was given: put organic liver in a food processor with ginger and horseradish. If the person doesn't like ginger, use just horseradish. If they don't like horseradish, use the other ingredient alone. This was the hepatitis liver formula.

For babies, the liver formula was used in a specific preparation: approximately 2-3 tablespoons of liver blended into goat's milk with butter, honey, and cream. Even if vomiting occurred, the formula was generally recommended to continue because vomiting was described as the body discharging toxins that would otherwise harm development. A minimal starting dose of 1 tablespoon liver to 6 oz raw milk was suggested if persistent vomiting was a problem.

Aajonus specifically described using fennel root for extreme liver conditions where the liver went into spasms:

Fennel root was used as an antispasmodic for extreme liver spasms that no other approach resolved.

Fat intake is central to liver function and rebuilding. However, the critical distinction is raw fat versus cooked fat. Aajonus described forcing his own liver to work by eating a pound and a half to two pounds of butter per day, though he clarified this extreme was personal to his situation and not suggested for others at that level.

More generally, he recommended: - Eating lots of raw fat to help clean out toxicity that a damaged liver creates - Needing fats with proteins for the liver to work - Lots of fats as well to clean out the toxicity connected with bile

For cirrhosis specifically: fresh raw coconut cream with cucumbers was described as dissolving the hardening "the quickest."

For liver problems (general): - ½ pound nonsteamed dates - 12 tablespoons unsalted raw butter - OR 1 cup raw cream - OR 9 tablespoons never-heated-above-96°F fermented coconut oil or stone-pressed olive oil - Eaten each day until problems cease - Dates and oil can be eaten together or at separate times

Honey was specified as unheated and used throughout the day, with food and between meals.

This was a weekly protocol, not a daily one, specifically for alkalizing the liver.

The percentage of red meat versus white meat versus fish was carefully calibrated to the degree of liver damage:

For severe liver conditions needing rapid rebuilding: - 70-80% red meat was sometimes recommended initially - Example: "To get the liver back together, to be able to utilize the other meats, you need to get the liver in shape. So for about two years and three months, I'd like you to eat at least 40%, or just about that, average out 40% red meat." - Then 40% chicken and 20% fish for two years plus - Another variation: "50% red meat, 50% white meat for a couple of years. And then lean more toward the white meat after that." - Another specific prescription: 70% red meat for approximately 2 years to rebuild liver, then 60% red meat for 6 years after that

For moderate liver conditions: - "Concentrate on maybe 50% red meat for a while until the liver is rebuilt" - 60% chicken, 20% red meat specified for a particular case with 20% functional liver

For specific liver/fish combination: - "Whenever you eat fish, that it be eaten with beef, and that'll help your liver. In your particular situation, the chemistry of the two will help the liver."

For advanced glycogen/AGE-related liver damage: - 40% red meat (normally would suggest only chicken or fish, but liver condition requires red meat) - 40% chicken - 20% fish - Always eat cheese with meat in this situation

Raw eggs were mentioned as a beneficial fat source for the liver (for cirrhosis: eating plenty of raw fat especially raw eggs with small amounts of cooked starches every day helps clean and tone the liver).

For specific severe liver damage with bile issues, Aajonus made an unusual recommendation of two egg whites (without yolk) twice per week: "That concentrated protein in that form will help build some mucus around the liver to help protect that liver." The yolk could be eaten at another time with red meat.

Raw fresh unripe pineapple supplies the liver with enzymes for fat processing:

Aajonus also mentioned eating half a raw unripe pineapple daily for two weeks to supply the liver and pancreas with enzymes needed to remove hardened fat. He noted that eating a little pineapple with cooked fats would allow even those to be digested without creating tumor-building conditions.

Several specific juice formulas were given for liver conditions:

For liver rebuilding (general, with scarring): - 80% celery, 20% parsley - "I'm going to recommend 80% celery, 20% parsley. Not going to worry about taking the metals out with t[hat]..."

For liver with bile issues and blood supply needs: - 10% kale juice - 70% celery - 20% parsley - Recommended alongside the diet

For severe bile/jaundice: - Starting at 40% carrot juice content within juice blend, then reducing to 20%, then 10% over time - "The reason for that is bile is a very accurate substance. And if it comes to the skin, it can create lesions, it can create psoriasi[s]"

For general liver/biliary support: - Zucchini juice mentioned as helping pull bile out of the system - Zucchini as a late-night food also recommended

Quantity: 4-4.5 to 5 cups of juice per day could speed liver recovery by several months (potentially reducing 2.5-year recovery to about 2 years).

Jaundice-specific juice: - Drinking ½ cup [of juice], the passage was truncated but refers to avoiding raw milk for 3-7 days and using specific juices

Cheese was recommended at two specific levels for liver problems:

1. Frequent small amounts to absorb and bind toxins being released by the liver, "I'd like you to eat cheese at least every 20 minutes. Yeah. A little cheese." This was for a person whose liver was very lumpy and full of chemical poisons from cotton processing.

2. For nausea related to liver toxicity: "When feeling nauseous, it is helpful to eat 1-2 teaspoons of no-salt-added raw unheated cheese with an equal quantity of fat, especially unsalted raw butter every 2-3 hours."

Cooked starches were described as useful for helping bind with bile and other toxins:

Small amounts of cooked potato (half a baked potato with lots of butter) were mentioned for specific cases.

Whole coconut was specifically recommended for a case where the liver was approximately 20% functional:

At least 1.5 whole coconuts per week was the prescription. Coconut cream was described as good also but whole coconut with fibers was specifically needed. For cirrhosis: fresh raw coconut cream with cucumbers dissolves the hardening fastest.

Aajonus described walnuts as an unusual recommendation he does not normally make, but specified them for a particular case of liver at 20% function:

Avocado was mentioned as a supporting food for a lumpy, chemically-poisoned liver. Aajonus also noted that avocado and papaya address intestinal pain rather than liver pain specifically, this was used as a diagnostic distinction.

For cirrhosis lighter nausea: drinking the fresh juice from about 6 lemons was recommended. At other times of day, eating plenty of raw fat (especially raw eggs) with small amounts of cooked starches every day helps clean and tone the liver.

In a specific case of bile coming out through the skin: "get some extra quarts of milk and suck the cream off and use the skin milk for a bath. That'll also help draw some of the bile that's in your skin out."

As a diagnostic protocol: "If honey/butter works [for pain], it is your liver." If avocado and papaya work, it is the bowel/intestine. Aajonus gave a specific recipe for liver pain: honey and butter in ratio of 1:2 with ¼ tsp soft bee pollen, 30-60 minutes of every waking hour for at least one full day until pain subsides.

An alternative liquid formula for concurrent use: 2 oz lemon juice, 1 T lime juice, 2 oz unheated honey, 2 T raw cream blended together, added to 6 oz Apollinaris water, sipped.

For hepatitis specifically: getting plenty of rest and sunshine were recommended alongside dietary protocols. Aajonus described a case where a baby with jaundice was placed in the sun instead of receiving medical treatment, describing this as appropriate.

With aggressive juice therapy (4.5-5 cups of juice per day), this could potentially be reduced to approximately 2 years.

• A liver at approximately 20% functional was described as potentially being at 60% functional within about six weeks with appropriate food protocol (coconut, walnuts, specific meat ratios), described as "pretty quick."

• A liver that was approximately half active but not producing cholesterols properly: rebuilding required consistent eating of liver once or twice per week alongside dietary protocols.

• For glycogen/AGE liver damage: approximately two years and three months of 40% red meat to rebuild liver function to the point of tolerating other meat types.

• For the general case requiring red meat emphasis: "In about 2 years he could go more to white meat. But maybe 6 years red meat 60% after that."

• Hepatitis cases: "I've had probably 200 cases of hepatitis liver's in great condition after about 6 years."

The liver never gets extended rest. Unlike a broken bone that can be immobilized, the liver must continue to function throughout its own healing process. This is the fundamental reason recovery takes years rather than months.

• Continuing to eat cooked fats
• Continued exposure to metals and chemicals
• Insufficient protein intake (the liver cannot recover without protein, "lots of protein")
• Insufficient raw fat intake
• Eating fruit and sugar during rebuilding phases
• Not eating raw animal liver as a rebuilding food

• Dark circles under the eyes slowly lightening
• Reduction in jaundiced/yellow complexion
• Improved fat digestion
• Reduction in bile-related symptoms

Aajonus described observing this process through iridology, the iris showing reduction in brown spots, reduction in lesions, and decreased toxic mineral deposits in the liver zone of the iris.
