Sinusitis
RespiratorySinusitis

According to Aajonus, sinusitis is not a disease or a pathological failure of the body. It is a **mild detoxification of the sinus passages**. He stated plainly: *"SINUSITIS is a mild detoxification of the sinus passages."* This is a fundamental reframing, sinusitis is the body doing exactly what it is supposed to do, which is using the sinus passages as a drainage and discharge route for accumulated toxins.

Aajonus's Definition

According to Aajonus, sinusitis is not a disease or a pathological failure of the body. It is a mild detoxification of the sinus passages. He stated plainly: "SINUSITIS is a mild detoxification of the sinus passages." This is a fundamental reframing, sinusitis is the body doing exactly what it is supposed to do, which is using the sinus passages as a drainage and discharge route for accumulated toxins.

The sinus passages are one of the body's primary exit routes for toxic waste. The body uses every available surface and cavity to discharge, sweat pores, tear ducts, earwax canals, salivary glands, gums, tongue, urinary tract, vaginal cavity, and the mucous membranes of the sinuses and throat. Sinusitis simply represents the sinuses being actively used for this purpose.

Aajonus described the broader mechanism: the body takes accumulated toxins, particularly heavy metals, cooked mineral residues, chemical compounds, and metabolic waste, and routes them out through mucous membranes because mucus is the most efficient transport medium for such substances. The sinuses are especially involved because the brain performs most of its detoxification through the mouth and sinuses. Heavy metals that accumulate in the brain and nervous system exit primarily via the mucous membranes of the sinuses, tear ducts, earwax, salivary glands, and gums.

He explained this directly in workshops: "Most of that, the brain detoxifies out your sinuses. Your brain isn't going to be able to detoxify some of those substances unless you're draining mucus out of your sinuses."

And further: "The body tries to throw it out through the mucus membranes, the heaviest poisons, which are usually heavy metals that come from the brain."

Sinusitis, in his view, is therefore not something to suppress or treat as an infection to be killed. It is an active, necessary, and ultimately beneficial process of elimination.

Root Cause

Root Cause

Aajonus identified multiple root causes for sinusitis, and they interlock within his framework of terrain theory and toxic accumulation.

Primary Root Cause: Toxic Accumulation Requiring Discharge Through Mucous Membranes

The most fundamental cause is the body carrying a load of toxins, particularly heavy metals, cooked mineral residues, and chemical compounds, that must be discharged through available exit routes. The sinuses are one of the most efficient such routes because the brain, which holds the largest concentration of metallic minerals from cooked food, discharges its waste preferentially through the sinus passages.

He explained the mechanism in detail: "Every time you cook a food, you cauterize the minerals. Most of that metallic mineral goes to the brain because the nervous system needs the metallic minerals to transmit information through light. So you get most of the heavy metals in the brain and nervous system. And when that comes out, you can burn your sinuses, your eyes, because it tries to throw it out the mucus membranes, the tear ducts, the earwax. It can burn holes in your skin."

He gave a personal example: "I've got a burned hole in my ear right now. Burned hole. It just popped up a few days ago. Burned. Crusty, bleeding. My sinus is dumping and dumping and dumping. And that's what" [it is, heavy metals exiting through the mucous membranes].

Secondary Cause: Caffeine Toxins

Aajonus specifically identified coffee, tea, and all caffeinated substances as significant contributors to sinusitis. He stated that "avoiding coffee, teas and all substances that contain caffeine eliminates ½ of the toxins being discharged during sinusitis." This is a very specific and quantified claim, caffeine-derived toxins account for approximately half of the toxic burden being discharged through the sinuses during an active sinusitis episode.

Cause: Protein Deficiency and Poor Mucus Quality

Aajonus described how the quality of mucus itself is determined by protein sufficiency. He explained that mucus, when examined under a microscope, "is a web that looks like cloth. You have all these protein fibers that mesh, so it's layers and layers of thick, so particles can't get through and damage your sinuses."

When a person is protein deficient, "these fibers are too wide open and particles pass through and hit their sinuses and they have allergies. Mucus is too thin. It needs to be thicker. It needs lots of protein like eggs."

So one root cause of chronic sinus problems is insufficient protein to build quality mucus, which means the sinuses are inadequately protected from airborne particles as well as inadequately equipped to transport and discharge toxins.

Cause: Cold Climate Exposure and Scarred Mucous Membranes

Aajonus was very specific about this in correspondence with a patient who had moved to a northern climate. He wrote: "When you live in a cold climate, your sinuses need 10 times more fats than normal. However, it takes many live cells in the sinuses to absorb and utilize that much fat and produce enough mucus to protect the sinuses. Your mucous membranes are severely scarred. You do not have enough cells alive to protect your sinuses in cold climates. It does not matter how much fat you eat."

This is a critical and somewhat sobering statement, in cases of severely scarred mucous membranes (typically resulting from years of toxic exposure, cooked food, medications, or other damage), eating more fat cannot compensate because there are not enough living cells in the sinus tissue to actually absorb and utilize the fat. The cells are dead, scarred, non-functional. The sinuses therefore cannot produce adequate protective mucus in cold climates regardless of dietary effort.

He also stated elsewhere: "Cold is a major factor in many conditions and sinuses is one. It is not fatalistic to accept that and move to a climate that promotes better health." This makes climate change a legitimate and practical therapeutic recommendation for people with severe chronic sinusitis related to damaged mucous membranes.

Cause: Dairy, Particularly Cow's Milk During Active Sinusitis

Aajonus specifically advised not drinking much milk until sinusitis clears. The body uses raw dairy, especially milk, to produce mucus for toxin elimination, and in someone whose sinuses are already overwhelmed with discharge, adding more milk increases the mucus volume and can intensify congestion. This is not a reason to avoid raw dairy permanently, but a timing consideration during active episodes.

In correspondence about a patient's sinus problem, it was noted that switching from cow's milk to kefir and goat milk, along with sour cream, butter, and coconut cream, resulted in the sinuses becoming "better, which means not totally clogged." Stopping ice cream was also noted as a potential factor in improvement.

Cause: Non-Organic, Cooked, or Processed Foods

The patient who corresponded with Aajonus about chronic sinusitis noted that over the prior few weeks he had been eating non-organic crackers with salt in the cooking mix. Aajonus's framework implicates any cooked or processed food as contributing to the toxic load requiring discharge through the sinuses, since cooked foods cauterize minerals into forms the body cannot properly chelate or eliminate without mucus transport.

Cause: Vaccine-Related and Heavy Metal Toxicity

In the context of metal poisoning, Aajonus was explicit that when the toxic burden from metals, particularly from vaccines containing thimerosal and other heavy metals, is very high, the sinuses become a long-term drainage route. He told one patient: "With this much metal poisoning, guess where it has to go? Out the throat and sinuses. So you're going to have to eat lots of eggs, lots of fat, just to be able to let it flow more easily. It could take 23 years to get rid of this metal poisoning. So I would just say that your sinuses are a drain for it. And just get used to it, and know that it's a good thing. It's the only way it can drain out."

Cause: Relationship to Brain Toxicity (Rhinitis Context)

In a related condition, Rhinitis, Aajonus stated: "RHINITIS is a detoxification of the nasal mucosa that causes increased mucous secretions and nasal congestion. That condition is related to brain toxicity and lack of enzyme-mutations for eating cooked red fruits and vegetables and sometimes cooked yellow foods." This mechanism, brain toxicity routing out through the nasal passages, is part of the same causal network underlying sinusitis.

Why This Happens

Why This Happens

Sinusitis as Aajonus described it fits squarely within several of his philosophical frameworks simultaneously:

Detoxification: Sinusitis is the primary principle. The entire condition, as he defines it, is a detoxification process. It is the sinuses being used as an active elimination pathway. Every symptom, mucus discharge, congestion, headache, fatigue, low fever, cough, is a symptom of detoxification, not of disease.

Terrain Theory: The ability or inability of the body to manage sinusitis well depends entirely on the internal terrain, the quality of mucus, the protein content available for mucus construction, the fat available to protect and lubricate sinus tissues, and the presence or absence of scar tissue in mucous membranes.

Cooked Food: Cooked Food is directly implicated. Cooked foods cauterize minerals into metallic, non-chelatable forms. These concentrate in the brain and nervous system. They must eventually be discharged. The sinuses are the primary route for brain detoxification. Therefore, a lifetime of cooked food consumption creates the ongoing condition of sinusitis as the body attempts to discharge accumulated cooked mineral residues.

How to Live (Sovereignty): Aajonus explicitly recommended climate change as a genuine therapeutic intervention for chronic sinusitis in patients with severely scarred mucous membranes, stating it is not fatalistic to move to a warmer climate that promotes better sinus health. This is a sovereignty-based recommendation, taking control of one's environment as a healing decision.

Microbes: Aajonus acknowledged that bacteria, viruses, or fungi may be present during sinusitis episodes (noting that yellow mucus is bacterial, green mucus is fungal, and iridescent green is specifically fungal). However, in his framework, these microbes are never the cause, they are the body's workers responding to the toxic environment. Suppressing them is counterproductive.

Symptoms Reframed

Symptoms Reframed

Aajonus reframes every conventional symptom of sinusitis as evidence of productive detoxification rather than pathology:

Mucus Congestion and Discharge This is the central symptom and the central purpose of the entire process. Mucus, properly constructed from raw protein (especially eggs and raw milk), forms a weblike fiber structure that binds toxins and carries them out of the body. When toxins are being discharged from the brain and sinuses, the body increases mucus production deliberately. "You discard the mucus. It's your poisons. You want mucus."

He directly contested the mainstream view: "People are saying, oh, you don't want mucus. Oh, here, take this antihistamine to stop the mucus. Stop the flow of the drainage. Most of that, the brain detoxifies out your sinuses. Your brain isn't going to be able to detoxify some of those substances unless you're draining mucus out of your sinuses."

A decrease in mucus production is not a sign of improved health. He stated this explicitly in a Q&A response: "A decrease in mucus production does not mean improved health. The body can easily make mucus from eating raw dairy, especially milk, that is used to eliminate toxins. More often, if the head, neck and chest contain toxins, the lack of [mucus]" creates a more dangerous situation because toxins cannot be efficiently eliminated.

He also noted that mucus protects the mucous membranes themselves: "When mucus binds with toxins, mucus prevents much damage and scarring to mucous membranes." So suppressing mucus does not just slow elimination, it causes the toxins to damage the membrane tissue directly.

Earache Earaches occurring during sinusitis episodes represent "congestion and toxicity in and around the ear", the same discharge process affecting the ear canal and eustachian tube area. The lymph glands in the neck, which are responsible for brain detoxification, connect these areas.
Headache Headaches during sinusitis are caused by brain swelling as it attempts to expand within the constraints of the skull during detoxification. Aajonus recommended applying hot water bottles to the sides of the head (not the top) to heat the fissures of the skull so they can expand, relieving pressure on the meninges.
Pain In or Around the Eyes The optic nerves and tear ducts are adjacent discharge routes to the sinuses. When the brain is actively detoxifying, the same heavy metals and toxic compounds that come out through the sinuses can come out through the tear ducts and cause eye soreness and irritation. During his own personal detoxification episode (described in a newsletter), he noted "increased eye pressure and redness fluctuated throughout" alongside "voluminous sinus, nasal and throat mucus discharges."
Fatigue Fatigue during sinusitis represents the enormous metabolic demand of the detoxification process. The body is engaged in an intensive effort requiring significant nutrient resources, and rest is appropriate and necessary.
Cough The cough that accompanies sinusitis is mucus moving from the sinus passages into the throat and respiratory tract. It is productive, the body is moving the toxin-laden mucus toward elimination.
Low Fever Low fever is the body raising its metabolic rate to accelerate the detoxification process. In his framework, fever is never pathological at mild levels, it is an intentional physiological strategy.
Susceptibility to Other Detoxifications ("Infections") During sinusitis, the immune system and detoxification resources are heavily committed to the sinus discharge process. This creates apparent susceptibility to other detoxification episodes. These are not separate infections, they are concurrent or sequential detoxification processes.
Burning Sensation in Sinuses When heavy metals are exiting through the sinus passages, they can literally burn the tissue. He described this from his own experience: "My cold/flu symptoms began in the sinuses with burning, soreness, swelling and near constant nasal drip." This is because heavy metals, particularly metallic minerals from cooked food that have been stored in the brain and nervous system, are caustic substances that can damage tissue as they are discharged. He noted: "It can burn holes in your skin" when particularly severe.
Yellow, Green, or Iridescent Green Mucus Aajonus provided a specific color-coding for mucus: - Yellow mucus: Bacterial involvement - Green mucus: Fungal involvement - Iridescent green mucus: Specifically fungal (distinguished from plain green by its iridescence)

In his framework, these microbes are not causing the sinusitis, they are the body's cleaning agents responding to the toxic environment and helping to process and eliminate damaged tissue and toxic compounds.

Food Protocol

Food Protocol

Aajonus provided a detailed and specific food protocol for sinusitis, drawing from Q&A correspondence, and workshop discussions.

Raw Fish, Primary Healing Food Aajonus identified raw fish, specifically tuna and swordfish, as foods that "help heal and strengthen sinuses." He recommended eating "plenty of raw fish" during sinusitis. Fish proteins provide the specific structural nutrients needed to rebuild and strengthen sinus tissue and mucous membranes.
Raw Eggs, Primary Mucus-Building Food Eggs are essential during sinusitis for two reasons: 1. They provide the protein necessary to build thick, properly structured mucus with tight fiber webs that can bind and transport toxins 2. They provide nutrients that accelerate detoxification through the mucous membranes

He recommended "3-6 raw eggs daily" during sinusitis. He also specifically recommended eggs after colds and flus: "After you have a cold or a flu, eat lots of eggs, milkshakes, produce mucus. You digest the eggs quicker. You produce the mucus for the poisons to get into the mucus."

For wheezing or thin mucus problems, he recommended 8-12 eggs per day (with 10-12 being preferable), noting that insufficient eggs means insufficient fat and protein for proper mucus construction.

Fresh Raw Lemon Juice Aajonus recommended "plenty of fresh raw lemon juice" during sinusitis. Lemon juice is a neutralizing agent for many toxins and helps thin mucus appropriately.
The Horseradish-Lemon-Honey Formula (Mucus Thinning) For thinning thick toxic mucus: "Eating equal portions of grated raw horseradish root, fresh raw lemon juice and unheated honey helps thin mucus." This is a very specific three-ingredient formula in equal proportions. No quantities were given beyond "equal portions," but the purpose is specifically to thin mucus when it is too thick and viscous to flow freely out of the sinus passages.

He also mentioned ginger root as an alternative in this same formula context: "Eating equal portions of grated raw horseradish root or ginger root and fresh raw lemon juice" (in the cough/respiratory context). However, he cautioned separately that ginger can thin mucus too much if taken excessively over long periods, to the point where mucous membranes become damaged. After heavy ginger use is ceased, mucus can become "inordinately thick for about 10 days" before normalizing.

Unheated Honey Honey was consistently recommended during sinusitis both as part of formulas and on its own. He recommended "Mucus is GOOD when built with good raw foods, especially milk, combined with eggs and a little honey." Honey supports the healing of mucous membranes and helps in the transport and neutralization of toxins.
Orange-Red-Yellow Smoothies (Sinus Healing) Aajonus recommended fresh raw smoothies made with orange, carrot, or tomato as soothing and healing for sinus conditions: "A fresh raw orange, carrot or tomato smoothie soothes and sets a condition for healing the sinuses." These smoothies carry a combination of enzymes, carotenoids, and fats that support sinus membrane healing.

In workshop discussions, he described a specific smoothie blend, an Orange Julius variant, for lung and respiratory healing that is also applicable to sinus healing: "It's milk, egg, honey, cream and orange. It's not orange juice; it's taking an orange and after removing the rind, blending it. You can have it once a day."

Plenty of Raw Fat, especially for Cold Climate Sinusitis For sinus protection in cold climates, Aajonus recommended "10 times more fats than normal." However, he was explicit that fat alone cannot help if the mucous membranes are severely scarred because dead cells cannot absorb and utilize fat.

For general sinus health, he recommended: "Eating plenty of raw fat daily, especially eggs, with red and orange fresh raw foods."

When sinuses are draining heavy metals, he recommended: "Just get lots of eggs, lots of fat, just to be able to let it flow more easily." The purpose of fat during metal detoxification through the sinuses is to act as a lubricant and protective coating that allows the metals to flow through the mucous membranes without causing as much burning and damage.

Butter/Honey Mixture He referenced eating a butter/honey mixture during active detoxification episodes affecting sinuses and respiratory tissue (ratio approximately 6:1 butter to honey based on his personal newsletter description). This protects mucous membranes and provides the fat needed for the discharge process.
Sunshine Aajonus stated plainly: "Sunshine helps heal this condition." Sunshine is a healing agent for sinusitis in his protocol.
Hot Tub / Hot Baths A patient with chronic sinusitis reported significant improvement from almost daily hot tubbing. The heat, in Aajonus's framework, increases circulation to the sinus area, promotes the flow and thinning of mucus, and supports the detoxification process. Hot baths lasting at least an hour and a half (recommended frequency of every 3-4 days for lymphatic congestion) are part of the broader thermal therapy approach.

He was explicit that heat, not cold, is always the right approach for detoxification: "You always want swelling you never want to stop swelling. People put ice packs on things and what do they do? They prevent the circulation so all of those many nutrients are being moved into that area to clean out the area and heal it."

Raw Milk, Modified Role During Active Sinusitis Raw milk is normally a primary food in the Primal Diet. During sinusitis, however, Aajonus recommended "not drinking much milk until the condition clears." This is because raw milk is highly mucus-productive, the body uses it to make large quantities of mucus for toxin elimination, and when the sinuses are already overwhelmed, reducing milk intake can allow the pace of discharge to moderate.

Once the condition clears, milk can be reintroduced normally. The distinction is between milk being used for detoxification (appropriate) and milk overwhelming already-saturated sinus passages (counterproductive in the short term).

In at least one patient's case, switching from cow's milk to goat milk and kefir during active sinusitis produced significant improvement.

Kefir and Goat Dairy Products In correspondence with the chronic sinusitis patient, the shift to "small amounts of goat milk now, sour cream, kefir, butter and coconut cream" was associated with improvement. Kefir specifically may be easier on the sinuses than fresh milk because of its partially pre-digested proteins.
Coconut Cream Listed as part of the modified dairy protocol that produced sinus improvement.
Cilantro (for Metal-Related Sinus Congestion) For sinuses draining heavy metals, Aajonus recommended eating "about maybe 4 sprigs of cilantro with a meat meal about every 4th day. Only." This is a very specific and restrained dose, not daily, only every 4th day, and only 4 sprigs at a time. The cilantro assists in chelating and moving heavy metals that are congesting the sinus passages.
Celery Juice (Supporting Sinus and Respiratory Function) For respiratory support related to sinus health, vegetable juice formulas were recommended: "80% celery, 20% parsley" for lung and respiratory support. In another context: "50% celery, 40% summer squash, and 10% parsley." The chlorophyll from celery and parsley supports respiratory and sinus function.

    He further noted that children who eat nose-pickings are doing so due to mineral or protein deficiency, and that the remedy is giving them 1 tablespoon raw no-salt-added cheese with 1-1½ teaspoons unheated honey twice daily to address the deficiency rather than re-ingesting discharged toxins.

Recovery Timeline

Recovery Timeline

Aajonus provided varying timeline information depending on the severity and underlying cause of the sinusitis:

Simple Sinusitis (Caffeine and Food-Related) For straightforward cases related primarily to caffeine toxins and dietary issues, avoiding caffeine eliminates half the toxic load. With the full food protocol (raw fish, lemon juice, 3-6 eggs daily, horseradish-lemon-honey formula, sunshine, reduced milk), the detoxification can proceed more rapidly, though he gave no specific timeline for simple cases.
Allergy-Related Sinusitis He stated that "I have always seen the symptoms of allergies mitigate over time, most cases being insignificant within 3 years" on a raw food diet. Given that hay fever and allergy-related sinus symptoms are closely related, this 3-year timeline likely applies to chronic allergy-based sinus conditions.
Heavy Metal-Related Chronic Sinusitis For patients whose sinus congestion is due to heavy metal drainage from the brain, the timeline can be extremely long. He told one patient directly: "It could take 23 years to get rid of this metal poisoning. So I would just say that your sinuses are a drain for it. And just get used to it, and know that it's a good thing." This is a frank and sobering timeline, 23 years of sinus drainage as the brain slowly eliminates accumulated heavy metals.
Severely Scarred Mucous Membranes in Cold Climate For patients with severely scarred sinus mucous membranes living in cold climates, Aajonus effectively stated there is no recovery timeline possible without either: 1. Moving to a warmer climate, or 2. Waiting for the body to slowly regenerate living cells in the scarred membranes (no timeline given, presumably very long)

He explicitly stated: "It does not matter how much fat you eat" in this situation, the scarring is the limiting factor, not dietary fat intake.

Aajonus's Personal Sinusitis During Detox Episode (December 2009) In his newsletter, he documented his own cold/flu detoxification episode with sinus involvement: - Days 1-3: Burning, soreness, swelling, near constant nasal drip beginning in the sinuses - Days 3-6: Voluminous sinus, nasal, and throat mucus discharges - Days 6+: Detoxification moved into lungs with infrequent deep mucosal coughs - Morning coughs: "lasted several minutes, discharging thick brown or greenish mucus" - Throughout: "Increased eye pressure and redness fluctuated" - Total duration: 8 days for the primary detoxification cycle

He managed this with "lots of butter/honey mixture, about 6 to 1 respectively" and primarily fish, with some red meat when hunger demanded it.

Questions Aajonus Answered

Questions Aajonus Answered

  • Q&A 1: Chronic Sinusitis After Moving North (December 2011)

    Patient: "Since I moved north, the clogged sinus issue has started up again. It's not gone away. It's persisted pretty intensely these last 5 months. Do you think you can advise me to fine tune some things so I can breathe through my nose better? I finally got the hot tub up and working and it's been about a week that I have been going in almost daily. The sinus situation lightened up, but has not handled yet. And last night, it was back to being pretty bad where both nostrils were clogged and breathing could only be done via my mouth."

    The patient noted several additional changes around the time sinusitis intensified: - Moving to a cold northern climate - Beginning to consume a lot of ice cream (later stopped, and sinuses improved after stopping) - Increased juice consumption - Eating non-organic crackers with butter and honey for 2-3 weeks

    The patient switched from cow's milk to kefir and later small amounts of goat milk, sour cream, kefir, butter, and coconut cream, and noted improvement: "The sinuses got better when I only drank kefir and went off cow's milk. That plus more hot tubbing. The nose is still clogged up, but at least one side works well enough to get about 5 hours of sleep at a time."

    The patient also developed ear problems, first left ear (suspected wax buildup, resolved with olive oil in 2 days) and then right ear pain. He noted pain going into the back of the ear, skull, forehead, and head.

    Aajonus's Response: "When you live in a cold climate, your sinuses need 10 times more fats than normal. However, it takes many live cells in the sinuses to absorb and utilize that much fat and produce enough mucus to protect the sinuses. Your mucous membranes are severely scarred. You do not have enough cells alive to protect your sinuses in cold climates. It does not matter how much fat you eat."

    And in a separate response to the same patient regarding the dental/tooth pain that accompanied the detox: "Cold is a major factor in many conditions and sinuses is one. It is not fatalistic to accept that and move to a climate that promotes better health."

    This case illustrates the intersection of cold climate exposure, scarred mucous membranes, and the physical limits of what dietary intervention can achieve when the cellular substrate is too damaged to respond.

  • Q&A 2: Childhood Sinusitis and Mucus, "Too Much Mucus" History

    Patient: "I have had terrible sinuses (too much mucus) and allergies for as long as I can remember (early childhood). These things improved, but never went away completely as I gave up dairy and began eating a mostly vegan diet for almost 9 years (I did eat meat a few times a week)."

    Aajonus's Response: "A decrease in mucus production does not mean improved health. The body can easily make mucus from eating raw dairy, especially milk, that is used to eliminate toxins. More often, if the head, neck and chest contain toxins, the lack of [mucus]" is problematic. The toxins need something to bind with to exit.

    The patient interpreted reduced mucus on the vegan diet as improvement, but Aajonus reframed this: the body was still attempting to detoxify, but without the raw dairy, it had less material to build mucus from. The toxins may have been discharging more slowly or backing up into tissues. He affirmed the patient's instinct that "the phlegm is how the body deals with the toxins coming out. Kind of like a protective measure", calling this interpretation "Precisely."

    He elaborated: "With the toxins exiting through the throat and sinuses to protect the throat and sinuses. When mucus binds with toxins, mucus prevents much damage and scarring to mucous membranes. Mucus is GOOD when built with good raw foods, especially milk, combined with eggs and a little honey."

  • Q&A 3: Heavy Metal Sinusitis, Cannot Stop Drainage

    Workshop Attendee: "I can't get my sinuses to stop."

    Aajonus: "You can't. With this much metal poisoning, guess where it has to go? Out the throat and sinuses. So you're going to have to eat lots of eggs, lots of fat, just to be able to let it flow more easily. It could take 23 years to get rid of this metal poisoning. So I would just say that your sinuses are a drain for it. And just get used to it, and know that it's a good thing. It's the only way it can drain out. You know, unless it comes out the gums, and then your teeth" [would be damaged].

    This is Aajonus at his most pragmatic, acknowledging that some sinus conditions cannot be stopped, only made more comfortable and efficient, because the underlying cause (severe heavy metal accumulation) requires decades to resolve.

  • Q&A 4: Sinus Pain Rating 8/10 in Context of Multiple Conditions

    Patient: Reporting "Sinus pain on scale from 1 to 10: '8'" alongside vaginal problems, vomiting, and other symptoms.

    Aajonus: While addressing the broader situation, recommended (among other things): "I suggest that you peel an average-sized refrigerated tomato and one medium cucumber and blend them together with 1 T. lemon juice", a formula that in the broader context of sinus-related mucous membrane inflammation would provide cooling, enzyme-rich, and mineralizing support to inflamed mucous membranes.

    He also noted that milk, honey, and cheese were among the foods negatively altering the patient's experience, and took this into account in his recommendations.

  • Q&A 5: Very Toxic Compounds in Sinuses Seen in Iridology Reading

    Workshop Context: During an iris reading, Aajonus identified "very toxic compounds in your sinuses" and assessed whether this was long-term or currently active: "This is very long-term. But it could be also present because it looks like it's active right now or it's coming out. Any particular compounds you can identify? Well, it looks red in your system. And as it lodges in the tissues, it's causing a green and purple."

    This shows that Aajonus used iridology to diagnose the nature and duration of toxic compounds stored in sinus tissue and to assess whether active detoxification was occurring.

  • Q&A 6: Ginger and Mucus Thickness for Respiratory/Sinus Conditions

    Patient: "Without the ginger, the mucus is getting lumpy and sticky already."

    Aajonus (November 11, 2011): "Yes, ginger thins mucus, but when taken too much too often, it can thin it so much that the mucous membranes become damaged. When ceasing consumption, after taking a lot for long periods, mucus will get inordinately thick for about 10 days; then it should settle into normal mucus. If it does not, then add a little ginger rather than lots."

    This establishes that ginger is a useful mucus-thinning agent but must be used carefully and in moderation, it has a biphasic effect where too much causes membrane damage and then abnormally thick mucus on withdrawal.
