Ammonia

The kidneys, in Aajonus's framework, have one primary job: removing water from the blood to regulate body temperature. When atmospheric or body temperature shifts by three to five degrees, fluid levels in the blood must be adjusted, and the kidneys accomplish this by filtering fluid out of the bloodstream. The problem this creates is that blood is a unified system. The red and white blood cells are "very married to everything in the bloodstream." To separate the fluid from the cells, the kidneys manufacture ammonia.

He described this as analogous to placing two negative poles of a magnet against each other. The ammonia the kidney produces creates a repulsive field that pushes red and white blood cells away from the kidney's filtration surface. Only the fluid portion of the blood, carrying all the dissolved nutrients, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, passes through into the urine. The red and white blood cells stay in circulation.

He stated that the body produces only about two ounces of red blood cells per day, meaning that any significant loss through urination would quickly produce anemia. The ammonia mechanism prevents this. "If you urinated your red and white blood cells every time you urinated, you'd be anemic. You only produce about two ounces of red blood cells a day. Two ounces a day. It takes a lot of time to replace blood."

Weakened or damaged red and white blood cells that are already dying are an exception. Those do pass into the kidney and exit with the urine, and when they break down inside the kidney they can cause harsh decay. The kidney uses ammonia to neutralize some of that internal toxicity as well.

He compared the kidney's ammonia production to the liver's production of bile, framing ammonia as a manufactured secretion with a specific metabolic purpose rather than a waste product. "Just like the liver produces bile, the kidneys make ammonia."

Because of the kidney's filtration mechanism, Aajonus described urine as nothing other than blood without most of its red and white blood cells, with a small addition of ammonia. Every nutrient present in the bloodstream, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, is also present in urine. He wrote in a newsletter that "urine is nothing other than blood serum with some ammonia added."

He used this understanding to reframe the common disgust associated with urine. In his view, urine from a person eating a clean raw diet is not a toxic substance but a nutrient-dense fluid. He noted that in India, where many people are vegetarians who do not fully digest protein in a single pass through the digestive tract, drinking urine to recycle those nutrients is a longstanding practice. He also described drinking his own urine when traveling in Asia and unable to obtain enough dairy, specifically choosing urine that came at least six hours after a meat meal to ensure a higher protein concentration.

The ammonia content of urine is the primary reason it smells as it ages. Fresh urine has relatively little ammonia odor. As it oxidizes and as dead cell fragments within it begin to decay, they produce additional ammonia, intensifying the smell. He drew a direct parallel to shark and stingray: as soon as those animals die, their tissues begin producing ammonia rapidly through the same basic decay process.

He noted that urine from people eating cooked food is genuinely more toxic and can burn plant roots and leaves when applied to soil, while his own urine, from a raw diet, feeds plants without harming them because the blood it reflects is cleaner.

One of the most important properties Aajonus attributed to ammonia is its ability to bind with certain chemical and industrial poisons, preventing those toxins from entering the bloodstream or being absorbed into tissues. He described it as functioning "like a chelator of certain kinds of toxins," where the toxin attaches to the ammonia molecule and the combined substance is then rejected through the kidneys rather than circulating freely in the blood.

He stated that "ammonia binds with heavy metals and keeps them from being absorbed into tissues including red blood cells." He also described it as binding with "industrial solvents" and with vaccine components, breaking them down "like a water softener," reducing their particle size so they could move through the body and be eliminated without becoming lodged in the liver or intestines.

This chelation property is the basis for the Scandinavian practice he described, where Swedes or Norwegians age shark for nine months to produce extremely high ammonia concentrations and then eat it to help cleanse industrial pollution from the body. He acknowledged that this practice occasionally produces toxic ammonia reactions but framed it as an intentional folk health strategy for populations dealing with heavy industrial exposure and harsh climates.

He also made the point that ammonia cannot easily enter the bloodstream itself, which is part of what makes it useful: "Ammonia can't get into the bloodstream easily. Very difficult. So if you've got a toxin attached to ammonia, it won't make it into the bloodstream." The toxin is effectively trapped at the boundary and expelled through the urine.

Aajonus identified shark and stingray as unique among all animals in the speed and volume of ammonia they produce after death. While he noted that all meat will eventually produce ammonia as it decays, shark and stingray begin producing it almost immediately upon death and continue at an accelerating rate. He described the doubling rate in several ways across different accounts, variously saying ammonia "doubles almost every hour after they're dead" and that "once they're killed, the ammonia starts rapidly increasing." In one account he described shark and stingray as producing "three times more ammonia every hour that they're dead than any other meat."

He described beef as taking six to seven days to begin producing enough ammonia to make a therapeutic difference, while fish generally reaches useful ammonia levels within twenty-four hours, and shark and stingray dramatically faster than other fish. This is why, in emergency situations involving poisoning, he sought stingray specifically rather than other protein sources.

He attributed the particularly high ammonia production of these animals to their biology. Their urea is converted into ammonia by bacteria as their tissues begin to decay after death, and this conversion happens rapidly enough that a stingray dead for only a day in tropical heat can produce concentrations sufficient to burn the mouth and throat.

He described one stingray he found in the Philippines as so high in ammonia that "the merchant woman would not cut and chop it because the ray would ammonia-taint her tree-stump cutting block." He bought a separate board and chopped it with his hunting knife.

He gave the example of the Swedes and Norwegians aging shark for nine months, after which the flesh "stinks like ammonia," and eating it periodically to help the body clear industrial pollution. He noted this sometimes causes toxic ammonia reactions but described it as a deliberate trade-off.

He also connected high meat (long-aged raw meat) to ammonia, but with a distinction. He investigated whether the immediate biochemical reaction people experience from eating high meat was caused by ammonia, had it tested, and found that "even though high meat has a lot of ammonia in it, it doesn't get into the nervous system when you eat it in high meat form." He contrasted this with processed products that have ammonia added chemically, which do penetrate the nervous system. This was an important edge case in his framework.

Aajonus described multiple episodes, primarily centered on being injected with what he identified as swine flu vaccine on three occasions, in which he used aged stingray as an emergency intervention to chelate and remove injected poisons. These accounts are the most detailed protocols around therapeutic ammonia use in his teaching.

The central mechanism he relied on was that ammonia binds with chemical poisons and is then rejected through the kidneys, keeping the toxins out of the blood and tissues. He also emphasized needing to protect his red and white blood cells, and knew from his understanding of physiology that ammonia would repel those cells, keeping them from being damaged by the circulating poisons.

The procedure he followed was as follows. When he began passing out every twenty minutes, vomiting, and experiencing severe dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea, he obtained a driver because he could not safely stand or walk without losing consciousness. He went to docks and wharves, specifically looking for a stingray or shark that had been dead for at least a day, explicitly not captured alive and kept in water. He needed the animal dead for long enough that significant ammonia had accumulated.

He found a baby stingray that had been dead for approximately one to two days, by which point it was described as "reeking of ammonia." Because stingray meat is very tough, comparable to eel, he could not simply chew it. He purchased or obtained a board and a large cleaver and spent approximately an hour chopping the stingray into very fine pieces so he could wash it down without extensive chewing, using coconut water to help it down.

He ate three to four ounces at a time, every four to five hours, and vomited most of it back up, but considered that enough of the ammonia was entering his blood to slow the poisoning. He described the taste and sensation as "nauseous, awful, hasty," with the ammonia burning his mouth "almost to bleeding."

He continued this for approximately seventy-two hours, at which point he stopped eating the stingray because he judged that whatever toxins remained in his tissues would be in small enough quantities that his regular diet could manage them. He stated: "I knew what to do for my body. I knew to get the high ammonia meat to help harness some of those chemicals that were getting into my blood constantly. Most of it was out in 72 hours. That's why I stopped eating the high ammonia meat after 72 hours."

He washed the stingray down with coconut water and simultaneously consumed as much animal fat as possible to help bind vaccine components and facilitate their exit. He described wanting to break the injected substances down into small enough particles that they would not become lodged in the liver or intestines.

He also described eating honey, butter, coconut cream, lime juice, clay, and coconut water as supporting elements during these episodes, and considered drinking his own urine but rejected it in at least one instance because he smelled it and it did not smell normal, suggesting it was already contaminated with whatever had been injected.

He was explicit about the dangers of the approach. "Even ammonia can kill you because if you eat enough ammonia, you get it into your blood. Your blood stops transporting oxygen." He described monitoring his body's response and stopping when he felt dizzy or lightheaded, using those sensations as the signal that he had consumed enough for that interval. He described going to his knees and lying down on the ground whenever he felt close to passing out, regardless of where he was, to avoid falling and injuring himself.

He described one such episode in the Philippines where after three days of the stingray protocol the passing out stopped, but he continued to be nauseated for months and developed large open oozing sores all over his body, including his neck, arms, and legs, as the injected poisons discharged through the skin. He described these as lasting approximately three to six months and producing what looked like "shrapnel wounds" or the aftermath of a grenade explosion. He treated the skin sores with lime juice, honey, coconut cream, and wrapping them in raw meat.

Aajonus was specific about the danger of consuming too much ammonia at once and gave guidance in several forms. In some accounts he described eating three to four ounces at a time, every four to five hours. In another he described three tablespoons at a time, progressing to four or five tablespoons maximum as the body adjusted over the course of a day. He described chopping the stingray so finely that it required no real chewing and could simply be washed down.

He framed the limit as the point at which the eater begins to feel lightheaded or dizzy. "When it gets to the point where you start getting lightheaded and dizzy, you've had enough. Don't have any more." This physiological signal represents the threshold at which ammonia is beginning to interfere with red blood cell oxygen transport.

He described the danger at the high end as follows: enough ammonia in the bloodstream stops red blood cells from absorbing and carrying oxygen, leading to brain death. He noted that the brain is the first organ to die without oxygen and that six minutes of brain death is unrecoverable. The practical implication is that therapeutic use requires staying well below that threshold, using small amounts at intervals and reading the body's immediate response.

He also noted that aged stingray that has been kept another day beyond what he found could be so high in ammonia that "my tongue almost bled" from chewing it, which is why he chopped it instead. In the Philippines account from the newsletter, he described eating half a cup at a time, washing it down with coconut water after approximately ten chews per mouthful.

Aajonus described people eating cooked and processed food as producing excessive and poor-quality ammonia in their kidneys, comparable to the ammonia produced by horses. He described the horse as an animal with a digestive system that processes a lot of dried, acidic, poorly broken-down food, requiring the production of far more ammonia than other ruminants to protect the kidneys and bladder from damage. He stated that horses produce almost three times more ammonia than any other animal to ensure red blood cells are isolated during urination.

He drew a parallel to humans eating cooked food: "From cooked foods, especially uric acid and acrylamides, the kidney forms excess and poor ammonia almost like a horse." He described this as an abnormal stress on the system, something the body should not have to do, and attributed it to the high toxicity of cooked food residues.

He contrasted this with the low ammonia he observed among tribes eating raw foods. Tribal people, in his account, produce much lower ammonia concentrations, allowing them to urinate around their homes and have it simply feed the soil nitrogen rather than burning it.

He described the ammonia in urine, particularly urine from people or animals eating a higher carbohydrate diet, as functioning as a natural antiseptic. He specifically mentioned African tribes using baby urine, from infants born into families eating more fruit than normal, applied to the baby's skin as a protective antiseptic. He also described horse urine as particularly concentrated in ammonia for the same dietary reasons, with the greater the grain intake producing greater ammonia concentration.

He described civilizations and tribes using urine as an antiseptic on skin for wounds, as a nutrient when starving, and as a way to recycle proteins that were not fully digested in a first pass through the system.

He described a practice of collecting his own urine over approximately one month and applying it around coconut palms. He explained that fresh urine, with its high immediate ammonia content, can burn plant roots if applied directly, the same way urine from cooked-food eaters can damage leaves and soil. However, by allowing the urine to sit for a month, bacteria in the urine break down the ammonia, removing it as an impediment, and the remaining nutrients become available to the soil without the burning effect.

He described the results on his palms as producing leaves that were "brighter, bigger, stronger, and greener than normal." He contrasted his method of bacterial breakdown with Monsanto's industrial processing of collected animal urine, which uses heat or chemical treatment to destroy the ammonia but also destroys the beneficial bacteria and enzymes, leaving only minerals and proteins.

He noted that raw-feeding animals, dogs and others, can urinate on plants without damaging them because their urine is less acidic and contains lower or more biologically appropriate ammonia levels. The problem arises specifically with the concentrated and abnormal ammonia produced by animals or humans eating high amounts of cooked, dried, or grain-based food.

He made a distinct and critical point about ammonia's role in the manufacturing of nutritional supplements. He stated that all supplements, regardless of whether they are labeled organic or natural, must go through a laboratory fractionation process, and that the only available fractionating agents are ammonia, kerosene derivatives, or wood alcohol. He described this ammonia as being used as a processing agent in ways that make the resulting product toxic, even if the source material was natural. "The ammonia could be natural, but it's not something that you normally eat. It is a toxin." He classified all supplements processed this way as outside the category of food and as contributing to worse health rather than better health.

He connected the excessive ammonia produced by cooked-food eaters to kidney stones, but indirectly. He explained that minerals from cooked food, processed food, and supplements are sent to the kidneys in high concentrations, leading to stone formation. He stated that raw food eaters who do not take supplements never develop kidney stones, bladder stones, or stones anywhere in the body, and that no tribe eating natural food has ever had a kidney or bladder stone. The excessive and poor-quality ammonia the kidney must produce under the stress of cooked-food toxicity is part of this pathological picture, though he framed the stones themselves as resulting from the mineral load rather than the ammonia directly.

He described a specific role of ammonia in the urinary tract as lethal to sperm. He stated that the ammonia manufactured by the kidneys "will kill sperm. It will not just kill them, it will kill part of them and completely paralyze all the rest." He used this to explain why pre-ejaculatory fluid does not cause pregnancy in the context of tribal birth control: sperm that pass through the urethra, which contains ammonia residue from urine, are killed or paralyzed and cannot fertilize an egg. He stated that pregnancy only results from ejaculation, not from pre-ejaculatory contact.

He described a specific Amazonian parasite, a very small spine-bearing organism, that navigates toward the smell of ammonia in urine. He explained that this parasite enters fish through their urinary tract or gills by homing in on ammonia, and similarly can enter a human urinating in the Amazon River because it tracks the ammonia source. He did not draw therapeutic conclusions from this observation but included it as an example of how certain organisms are physiologically oriented toward ammonia as a signal.

He briefly mentioned a case in which meat was contaminated by chloroform and chlorine that combined with ammonia inside the processing system, producing a poison. He described this as an example of how industrial processes can create dangerous combinations that would not occur naturally, where ammonia in an industrial context becomes part of a toxic mixture rather than a beneficial physiological compound.
