Barium

Aajonus identified two primary routes by which people are exposed to barium: medical procedures and environmental contamination from the military industrial complex.

In medical settings, barium is administered as a contrast agent for x-rays and CAT scans, either swallowed as a liquid or injected. He noted that CAT scans cost between $1,500 and $1,800 per procedure, and that the medical industry depends on this revenue, which creates a direct financial incentive to avoid research establishing the toxicity of the contrast agents used. He described barium in this context as a mineral that reflects radiation to improve image clarity, functioning like an internal substance that makes the radiological picture more detailed. He stated plainly that once administered, barium becomes radioactive within the body.

The second and larger-scale source of exposure he identified is chemtrails, which he described as the deliberate aerial spraying of barium and aluminum by the military, framed publicly as weather control. He stated this is occurring daily. Because the sprayed particles fall through the air, they are inhaled and also land on water, soil, and food supplies, creating systemic contamination across all routes of intake.

Barium acts like calcium inside the body. Aajonus stated this directly and repeatedly as one of the most important things to understand about why barium is so damaging. Because it mimics calcium, the body treats it as a calcium-like mineral and deposits it in the same locations: muscles, bones, and lungs. Once it is deposited in those tissues, it locks in and does not readily come back out.

He cited specific figures on how little barium is excreted after medical administration. Within 24 hours following ingestion, only 7% passes out through the urine and 24% passes out through the feces. He noted that after that initial 24-hour window, the rate of excretion drops substantially and exponentially. The implication he drew from these numbers is that somewhere around 30 to 40 percent of the barium administered in a medical procedure ends up locked into muscle tissues and bones.

Because barium displaces calcium, it causes bone damage. It competes with calcium for the same deposition sites, and wherever it takes the place of calcium, it disrupts normal bone structure and integrity. This displacement is not limited to bone; it affects every calcium-dependent system in the body.

At low doses, barium stimulates muscles. At higher doses it affects the nervous system and can eventually lead to paralysis. Acute and subchronic oral exposure causes vomiting and diarrhea, followed by decreased heart rate and elevated blood pressure. Higher doses produce cardiac irregularities, weakness, tremors, anxiety, and dyspnea. A drop in serum potassium is one mechanism by which some of these symptoms occur. Barium is also deposited in the lungs, which connects it to pulmonary disorders and pulmonary cancer. Death can occur from cardiac and respiratory failure, and Aajonus cited acute doses around 0.8 grams as potentially fatal to humans.

He also noted from reviewing FDA research that every test group of animals subjected to barium showed the following pattern: animals without pre-existing heart disease appeared to show little obvious toxicity, but every animal in the test groups that had heart disease died. He argued that the FDA research on barium was deliberately stopped before reaching the conclusions that the data was pointing toward, because those conclusions would have implicated both the medical use of barium as contrast and the military's aerial spraying programs.

Aajonus's position was that the FDA and EPA have done extremely little to monitor barium's effects, and that this is not accidental. The FDA's own research into barium toxicity, even as late as 1998, was limited by instruction: researchers were only permitted to take the tests so far. When the research stopped before clear conclusions were established, the official position became that the consequences of barium exposure had not been fully determined, which functioned as a shield against liability.

He identified the two institutional forces protecting barium from scrutiny as the pharmaceutical and medical industries, which use it in diagnostic procedures generating billions in revenue, and the military industrial complex, which is responsible for releasing barium into air, water, land, and food through aerial operations. He stated that if barium were conclusively linked to the diseases resulting from its toxicity, lawsuits would flood the legal system.

He did note, as a relative comparison, that diseases resulting from barium toxicity are fewer in number and scope than those resulting from mercury or thallium toxicity. Mercury remains listed by the FDA as the most toxic element on Earth. But he used this comparison not to minimize barium's danger, but to illustrate the systematic nature of the suppression: even substances that are clearly toxic and widely used in medicine are protected from full disclosure when financial and military interests are at stake.

Barium is a neurotoxin. Aajonus described it as causing paralysis, and the animal research he cited showed that the neurological harm was progressive and significant even when official summaries framed the results as showing minimal toxicity. High levels of barium in the body cause physical imbalances and disorientation. In one specific correspondence, he identified high barium levels as the likely cause of a person's inability to judge spatial distances, resulting in constantly knocking into doorways, corners, and other obstacles and developing blackened elbows and other bruises from the repeated collisions. He suggested a hair analysis to measure how much barium had been discharged through the hair over the prior three months, as this would give a picture of the body's current barium burden and elimination rate.

The cardiovascular effects are also specific and severe: barium causes decreased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, cardiac irregularities, and in animals with pre-existing heart disease, death. The pulmonary connection he described includes pulmonary disorders and pulmonary cancer, which he linked specifically to barium's deposition in lung tissue.

Aajonus described three mechanisms by which the body captures, contains, and discards metallic free-radical substances like barium.

The first is ionic attraction, meaning bio-linked units of minerals and other complex nutrients that attract and attach to free-radical metallic minerals. The body's ability to use this mechanism depends entirely on having adequate mineral reserves from raw food sources.

The second is lipids, meaning fats that envelop free-radical metallic minerals and prevent them from causing intercellular damage. This is one reason he consistently argued for maintaining a high ratio of body fat: stored fat acts as a reservoir that can sequester metallic toxins away from critical tissues. He noted from his own experience of being forcibly injected with unknown substances that the fat around his organs served a protective role, and that having just gone through a detoxification that caused significant weight loss had left him more vulnerable to that contamination.

The third is white blood cells, which ingest or envelop free-radical metallic minerals and are part of the immune system's response to metallic contamination.

All three of these mechanisms depend on raw food for their functioning. When food is heated above 104 degrees Fahrenheit, bio-links are disassembled and form free radicals themselves, which must then be processed as an additional burden. Raw foods are the only foods that supply the body with the intact nutrients needed to actually execute these three containment and elimination pathways.

Aajonus's personal account of barium exposure is detailed and tied to specific events. When doctors were first examining his ulcer, they administered barium for diagnostic imaging. That barium was stored in the area of his abdomen where the ulcer was located and where subsequent radiation therapy was applied. Years later, when he began detoxifying on raw animal foods and his body temperature rose, he experienced large circular skin eruptions across his abdomen, and the material emerging from those eruptions was identified under an electronic microscope as barium.

He also had mercury and thimerosal stored in adjacent tissue from injections he received beginning at age 12. The two contamination events, mercury from injections and barium from diagnostic imaging, remained stored in adjacent regions of his body for decades before the detoxification process mobilized them.

He also described having taken cobalt radiation therapy, and noted that the cumulative poisoning from barium, cobalt, chemo, and radiation was so severe that he questioned whether it had permanently destroyed his ability to harbor certain parasites, as he was never able to spike them in himself even after deliberately attempting to do so.

Aajonus's primary nutritional tools for addressing metallic contamination including barium fall into two categories: substances that bind and extract metals through the digestive tract, and substances that protect tissues from the damage metals cause while they are being mobilized.

Raw no-salt-added cheese is the most mineral-concentrated food in his framework and functions as a magnet for metallic free-radicals in the stomach and intestinal walls. When cheese is eaten without honey, it does not digest but instead moves through the digestive tract drawing metals, including free-radical metallic minerals like barium, out of the blood and lymph as those fluids circulate through the intestinal walls. The minerals in the cheese create an ionic attraction that pulls the metallic substances out of circulation and into the fecal matter for elimination. He was specific that this mechanism works only when cheese is eaten without honey; eating honey with cheese causes the cheese to digest and absorb into the body instead of acting as a binding agent.

Fats, especially raw butter, raw cream, coconut cream, and raw dairy cream, envelop free-radical metallic minerals and prevent them from penetrating cell membranes. This is the lipid-based containment mechanism, and it is why Aajonus consistently recommended high fat consumption for anyone carrying a heavy metal burden. Coconut cream specifically is the most aggressive fat for dissolving and chelating metallic residues; he described it as capable of dissolving metal from a surface in approximately an hour under the right conditions, while other fats would take days.

Raw milk supports the pulling of metals from tissue and through the digestive system. He noted that the milk helps pull mercury and aluminum from the hands and stomach, and recommended that when having milk, a little grated raw cheese should also be included both before the milk and mixed into the milk, to catch whatever metals the milk mobilizes and ensure they exit the body through the feces rather than being reabsorbed.

Shellfish, including oysters, clams, urchin, and scallops, were recommended for removing metal toxicity, particularly in the context of occupational metal exposure. While his specific shellfish protocol was stated most directly in the context of a metal worker, the principle applies to metallic mineral contamination generally.

One of the more specific technical claims Aajonus made about barium as used medically is that it becomes radioactive inside the body after exposure to the radiation used in the imaging procedure. When barium is administered and then the patient is passed through a radiation machine, the barium absorbs and interacts with that radiation. He noted that the conventional medical defense references a half-life of 50 days, but countered this with the excretion data: since only 7% passes through the urine and 24% through the feces in the first 24 hours, and since excretion drops exponentially after that, the half-life argument does not address the 30 to 40 percent that has locked into muscle and bone tissue and is no longer being eliminated at any meaningful rate. That stored fraction remains radioactive within the tissue it has occupied.

This connection between barium and radioactivity is part of a broader pattern he identified in which medical and industrial exposures introduce radioactive or radiation-amplifying substances into the body under the cover of therapeutic or diagnostic necessity, and then the long-term consequences in tissue are not tracked or disclosed.
