Terms of use

Plain-language terms governing use of this reference. Last updated May 2026.

What this site is

The Primal Diet is a reference platform that organizes the published work, recorded workshops, and clinical observations of Aajonus Vonderplanitz (1947 to 2013) into a searchable archive. It is independent of his estate.

Not medical advice

Nothing here is medical advice. The site documents what Aajonus said and wrote. He was not a licensed physician. His framework, in particular his views on raw animal foods, infectious disease, and cancer, contradicts standard medical guidance in many places. Consult a qualified clinician before changing your diet, supplementation, or treatment for any condition.

If you are pregnant, immunocompromised, an infant, elderly, or living with a serious condition, the risks of acting on this material without medical supervision are higher.

The chat widget is AI

The widget labelled “Ask Aajonus” speaks in first person but is a large language model generating text from his published writings and transcripts. It is not Aajonus. It can be confidently wrong, hallucinate quotes, or attribute claims to him that he did not make. Treat its output as a starting point, not a primary source.

Raw food carries risk

Raw animal products can carry pathogens. People have become severely ill from raw milk, raw meat, and raw eggs from poor sources. The site includes guidance on sourcing, but you accept the risk if you choose to consume any food described here.

Acceptable use

Do not use the site to:

  • Probe or attack our systems, including rate limit, prompt injection, or token exhaustion attacks against the chat.
  • Scrape the corpus at a rate that materially affects availability for other users.
  • Republish the curated archive without attribution.
  • Misrepresent the chat output as actual statements by Aajonus.

No warranty, no liability

This site is provided as-is, with no warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for any harm arising from use of the information here. If you suffer loss, damage, or injury from acting on this material, the responsibility is your own and you agree not to seek recovery from us.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top reflects the latest revision. Continued use after a change is acceptance of the change.
