Bilirubin

Aajonus described the visual appearance of bile in tissues as directly interpretable during iridological examination. When reading a person's eyes, he noted that "a discoloration shows lots of bile in the blood or a very acidic bloodstream." He treated these two conditions as closely linked: excess bile and excess acidity in the blood tended to appear together and reinforce one another. The presence of yellow cast in the iris, the skin, or the whites of the eyes was for him a reliable indicator that bile had penetrated into the tissues rather than staying confined to its proper digestive role.

In one iridological session recorded in the training transcripts, he observed that a person had "a little jaundice here on this hand" and noted "there is a lot of bile getting into the tissues." He connected this observation directly to compromised oxygen delivery, stating that red blood cell production or activity on the affected side of the body was reduced. The bile in the tissues was interfering with normal circulation and with the capacity of the blood to transport oxygen effectively.

Aajonus explicitly connected severe jaundice and hepatitis to the yellowing of the whites of the eyes, treating this as the visible endpoint of a process in which bile overwhelms normal containment. He described this in the context of lymphatic breakdown: "let's say somebody has jaundice, severe jaundice, hepatitis, the whites of the eyes go yellow. This person's lymph system is starting to break down pretty badly, because there are lesions in it."

In his framework, the yellowing of the sclera from bile is not simply a liver problem in isolation but indicates a systemic failure in which the lymphatic system can no longer properly manage the overflow. The lesions he referred to in the lymphatic tissue represented structural damage that had progressed beyond simple congestion.

One of the consistent threads in Aajonus's treatment of bile in the tissues is its connection to anemia-like symptoms. He stated directly that excess bile in the tissues produces signs of anemia, telling one person: "you have signs of anemia because of all the bile in the tissues. But everything is stabilizing fairly nicely." This framing separates the bile-driven anemia picture from true bone marrow failure or simple iron deficiency. For Aajonus, bile saturating the tissues disrupts the normal work of red blood cells, effectively creating functional anemia even when red blood cell counts might appear adequate by conventional measures.

Aajonus identified carrot juice as the primary dietary tool for neutralizing and eliminating bile from the tissues. In direct answer to the question of what eliminates bile, he stated: "Carrot juice. Vitamin A helps neutralize and pull it out of the system." He framed this in terms of vitamin A's chemistry acting on the bile compounds to draw them out of the tissues and allow them to be processed and cleared. This was consistent with his broader nutritional framework in which fat-soluble vitamins from raw food sources perform specific biochemical clearing functions that their processed or synthetic counterparts cannot replicate.

In one case analysis, Aajonus connected the jaundiced appearance of a patient to an over-alkaline systemic state, even though the patient's digestive tract was simultaneously very acidic. He described a Type A individual who appeared jaundiced and said: "He is over alkaline, because he's jaundiced looking and yet he's the type A. Normally, he would be very ruddy complected. So, his basic tissues and his blood are too alkaline right now, but his digestive tract is very acidic." This observation illustrates that Aajonus did not treat bile in the tissues as a simple acid condition; the systemic alkalinity accompanying jaundice was part of a complex where the bile had displaced normal tissue chemistry without necessarily producing the expected acidic local environment.
