Brain

The brain is 60 to 80 percent fat by composition. Water accounts for approximately 80 percent of the brain's total volume. The brain contains neurons rather than nerves, which is why brain surgery can be performed without anesthesia directed at the brain itself. There are no pain-registering nerves within the brain's neuronal tissue. Pain associated with the brain, such as headaches, originates in the meningi, the layered coating surrounding the brain, which is approximately 11 layers thick and is richly supplied with nerves. When the brain swells or retains water, it presses outward against the skull, and it is the meningi that registers that pressure as pain.

The neurons, ganglia, synapses, axons, and dendrites of the brain constitute the neurological tissue proper. These structures can reproduce and regenerate when the diet supports it. Aajonus stated specifically that neurons can divide and grow back as long as raw meat is consumed, because the chemistry necessary for neuronal cell division requires the nutrients present in raw animal foods. On cooked diets, he said, the toxicity and altered chemistry prevent nerve cells and neurons from dividing.

The neurological fluid that moves through and around the brain is thinner than egg white in some areas, and it transmits light and conducts electricity. This fluid carries metallic minerals as its primary functional components. The entire signaling system of the brain and body depends on this electromagnetic mechanism. Messages from the brain to the body and from the body to the brain all travel through this metallic, light-conducting, electrically active fluid system.

The pituitary gland and pineal gland are located within the brain. The pituitary is described as regulating growth and the functioning of other glands throughout the body. The pineal gland, approximately the size of a grain of rice, has no firmly established chemical function that Aajonus was aware of, though many traditions describe it as the seat of consciousness. He acknowledged that designation without confirming or denying it, noting that examining brain tissue required access to resources that were beyond his practical reach.

Aajonus made a sustained and repeated argument that the enlargement of the human brain over evolutionary time is not evidence of increasing intelligence but is the body's adaptive response to increasing toxic load. The brain must grow larger to provide more fatty storage area to sequester the accumulating poisons so that the remaining functional tissue can still operate.

He traced the timeline specifically. When early humans were using stone tools, chipping and breaking rocks, the brain remained relatively small. As soon as metal smelting began, starting in China and elsewhere, the brain began to enlarge. When metals are smelted, they become airborne. People breathe them in. Those metallic particles enter the body and migrate to wherever fat is concentrated, and in people who worked hard physically and were therefore thin, the primary fat depot was the brain. As industrial pollution expanded, as cooking became universal, as mining increased, as coal burning released mercury and thallium, the brain continued to enlarge to accommodate the additional toxic burden.

The brain grew to approximately eight times the size it was at the time of Lucy, the early hominid whose brain was roughly half the size of a modern human brain. Lucy did not cook food. The expansion correlated directly with the introduction and escalation of cooked foods, smelted metals, mined minerals used for agriculture, and industrial combustion. The increase in brain size over the last 10,000 years was described as exponentially greater than prior periods, which corresponds with the highest recorded use of cooked food.

Einstein was referenced repeatedly. When his brain was examined after his death, only 12 percent of its tissue showed the chemical byproducts associated with active tissue. From this finding, it was inferred that ordinary people of lesser cognitive output used approximately 10 percent. Aajonus cited this as confirmation that the vast majority of human brain tissue is not being used for thought or intelligence. He estimated that humans use approximately 5 percent of their brain for actual neurological thought processes, and the rest functions as a garbage repository. He also noted that when he was 20 years old, iridology examination indicated only 10 percent of his brain was alive, and that by the time of his seminars he had recovered to approximately 80 percent alive, though he added wryly that he could not claim to be much smarter for it.

The argument was not merely theoretical for Aajonus. He stated that a toxic brain that functions at a high level is likely to malfunction often, to be shortsighted, and to produce technologies that are destructive to the environment and to the people using them. The large brain is thus not an asset but a liability when it is primarily a toxin depot. Animals with small brains do not kill for greed, do not pollute the planet for profit, and do not systematically destroy their own habitat. The large toxic human brain produces precisely those behaviors.

Aajonus drew careful distinctions between how different heavy metals cause different kinds of neurological malfunction when they accumulate in the brain as free radicals.

Aluminum was identified as the primary cause of synapse failure and thought interruption. Aluminum destroys what he called zeta potential, the fluid's ability to keep nutrients suspended. He described this with a repeated analogy: if liquid aluminum is dropped into an aquarium, the fish hit the bottom and can no longer swim. The same thing happens in the neurological fluid of the brain. When a synapse fires and aluminum is present in that fluid, the transmission does not rocket through the axons and ganglia to the rest of the brain. Instead it slides along the bottom of the nerve tube and fails to propagate. The result is the experience of a thought disappearing, a word that cannot be retrieved, or an inability to follow a chain of reasoning. This is the mechanism, in his framework, behind Alzheimer's disease and the general mental fogginess produced by aluminum accumulation. He noted that losing a thought momentarily, where the thought returns later, typically involves aluminum temporarily blocking transmission. In a clinical observation he noted from his own history, aluminum stored in his communication center contributed to his inability to grasp language as a child.

Mercury was identified as producing a more severe and permanent form of memory loss. Where aluminum causes thoughts to fail to transmit and be temporarily inaccessible, mercury destroys the storage of memories entirely. If a memory has been completely lost and cannot be recovered under any circumstances, Aajonus attributed that to mercury damage. He referenced a specific body of research: a team of scientists demonstrated in 1997 that mercury vapor inhalation by animals produced a molecular lesion in brain protein metabolism similar to the lesion found in 80 percent of Alzheimer's diseased brains. Scientists at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Medicine produced direct visual evidence from brain neuron tissue cultures showing how mercury ions alter the cell membrane structure of developing neurons. He described this visually: brain neurons grow with a central cell body and numerous neurite processes, with growth cones at the end of each neurite where structural proteins are assembled, and mercury disrupts that assembly.

The vaccine connection was stated directly. Vaccines containing liquid aluminum cause Alzheimer's-type malfunctioning. Aajonus referenced his own childhood vaccines as the source of mercury and aluminum that stored in his communication center and cut off the part of his brain that deals with language acquisition and processing. He described this as similar to blindness: you cannot make a blind person see if the relevant tissue is malfunctioned or disturbed.

Beyond aluminum and mercury, he listed lead, cadmium, thallium (released from coal burning), and other metallic minerals as contributing to the broader toxic accumulation in brain tissue. All of these in their bio-organically bonded forms are necessary for brain function in trace amounts. All of them become destructive when fractionated by heat and introduced as free radicals.

Aajonus discussed the tonsils in direct relation to brain protection. The tonsils, he stated, function to prevent metal poisoning from reaching the brain. He gave a specific historical example: when canned foods became widely available and were placed on grocery shelves, tonsils became constantly inflamed because they were working to address the metal poisoning from the canned food and its preservatives. The medical response was to remove the tonsils surgically. Once the tonsils were removed, the brain lost that protective buffer and became more vulnerable to damage and deterioration from metal toxicity entering through food and the environment.

When the brain needs to discharge the toxins it has stored, the primary exit routes are the tongue, the salivary glands, and the gums. A white tongue indicates that large amounts of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium have been used to bind with poisons leaving the brain or the head region. Dental decay, in this framework, is not caused by bacteria that have coexisted with humans for millions of years without causing such problems. Rather, the decay is caused by the toxic discharge from the brain passing through the gum and tooth structures. He noted that animals lick each other's waste and do not develop dental decay, making the bacterial theory of dental disease implausible.

The sinuses also serve as a discharge path for brain toxicity. The brain dumps through the sinuses, the gums, the tongue, and the salivary glands predominantly.

Because the brain is 60 to 80 percent fat, and because fat binds with poisons to neutralize them and prevent them from damaging active tissue, maintaining adequate fat in the brain is protective. People who are severely underweight and carry no body fat present a danger to brain function because when dietary fat is insufficient and there is no stored fat available, the body draws on the fat of the nervous system, which is the brain and the myelin sheaths of the nerves. The myelin sheath, the fatty coating on nerves, is 60 percent fat. If that fat is consumed by the body to meet energy or protective needs, the neurons are exposed and begin to suffer damage, and brain cells are progressively lost.

He described thin, bony people as having no buffer between incoming sensory and emotional information and the brain. Everything becomes a trigger; there is nothing to absorb the signal before it reaches the brain, leading to hypersensitivity and hysterical reactions. People with adequate fat in the brain and nervous system are cushioned against these effects.

He also explained that the brain and nervous system have the highest concentration of fat in the body, rivaled only by bone marrow. This is why metals from cooking, vaccines, environmental pollution, and industrial exposure have such a strong tendency to go to the brain and bone marrow specifically. These two tissues simply provide the most attractive fat-rich environment for the sequestration of toxic metals.

Aajonus addressed the relationship between sugar and brain function specifically. The brain relies on glycogen for its immediate energy needs. If blood sugar drops too low, cognitive function degrades, and thoughts become inaccessible. He stated that if one loses a thought or word and then sucks a raw egg, the thought returns if the issue was low blood sugar. If the raw egg does not immediately restore the lost thought or word, then the cause is aluminum in the brain fluid, not low blood sugar.

Conversely, too much sugar is also harmful to brain function. If carrot juice is consumed without diluting it with fat such as cheese or cream, the sugar from the starch in the carrot juice can flood the brain all at once and cause it to fire in too many places simultaneously. The result is scattered, dispersed thinking, an inability to hold a train of thought, and mental agitation. He stated this was a common problem among vegetarians, who tend to consume high amounts of fruit sugars and carbohydrate, which stimulates adrenaline and produces a kind of erratic brain firing that undermines concentration and focused cognition.

Advanced glycation end products, produced when high-carbohydrate foods are consumed, are specifically linked to impaired brain function. This is why Aajonus avoided high-carbohydrate foods during his day-long presentations: he wanted the brain to function clearly and with focus throughout.

The neurological fluid system is the thinnest and most specialized of the body's three fluid systems, thinner than egg white in its finest passages. It is concentrated with fat and metallic minerals, and it exists specifically to transport electromagnetic information. The brain is the central node of this system. Messages travel from the brain outward to the body and from the body back to the brain through this metallic, electrically conductive, light-reflecting fluid.

When the metals in this fluid are in their proper bio-organic bonded form, they enable all conscious and automatic motor activity, sensory processing, and communication. When they are fractionated free radicals from cooked food or industrial exposure, they flood the fluid system and disrupt transmission. Erratic, unwanted signals are fired; proper signals fail to propagate; communication between different brain regions and between brain and body breaks down.

This disruption, in Aajonus's framework, accounts for the spectrum of neurological and psychiatric conditions: autism, dyslexia, senility, Alzheimer's disease, depression, confusion, attention difficulties, and the general cognitive fog that he regarded as normal in industrialized populations.

Aajonus stated that neuronal tissue can regenerate and that neurons can divide when the diet provides the chemistry required, specifically raw meat. Without raw meat, the toxicity and altered nutritional chemistry of the diet prevent neuronal cell division from occurring.

For supporting neurological tissue specifically, he described a protocol using raw calf brain. A calf brain is approximately the size of a softball or larger. He divided it into portions, spending approximately five days consuming a single calf brain. He kept half of the brain in a jar with no air to prevent it from becoming high, and let the other half become high by storing it in a large jar with plenty of air to accelerate bacterial activity. He alternated between the two each day, eating one day from the high portion and the next day from the fresh portion, so that the neurological tissue received both forms. He described calf brain and the brains of other animals as exceptionally sweet and delicious, noting that brain is served in Japan and some parts of China and is highly prized as food.

The brain tissue from animals feeds the corresponding tissue in the human body. For a patient whose pituitary was not functioning and who was severely underweight, Aajonus suggested consuming large amounts of animal brain to provide the tissue-specific nutrients the pituitary needed. The patient ate only a few calf brains and did not continue, which Aajonus attributed to the cost and difficulty of obtaining them, noting that a brain costs approximately 75 dollars and sometimes arrives damaged.

He also referenced the work of Elnora Van Winkle, a scientist who spent 47 to 52 years at Milhauser Laboratories at New York University cataloging every cell, every chemical, and every structure in the brain and nervous system. She wrote a paper called "The Biology of Emotions" that Aajonus referenced in the context of psychotropic trauma and stress hormone byproducts, chemical substances produced in the brain during and after psychological or emotional trauma. He indicated this paper is available online.

Aajonus described his own brain as extensively damaged. At the time of his seminars, his iridology showed that 65 percent of his brain was scar tissue. He attributed this to the early vaccines he received as a child, which were unusual at that time, and which deposited mercury and aluminum specifically in the areas of his brain associated with language processing and communication.

As a result, he was functionally autistic throughout childhood and into adulthood. He could not understand that written symbols had meaning, that letters combined into words, and that words carried referential meaning. He described the letters as appearing as strange designs with no consistent form, and noted that even when he looked at another student's paper, a letter like T might appear as an entirely different shape. He had no internal conception of language as a symbolic system.

The part of his brain that processed language had been effectively shut down. He described it as that part of his brain going blind. At eight years old he had accumulated enough sound bites from listening to others that he could mimic speech like a parrot, reproducing the sounds he heard at home without understanding them as communication. He had compensatory abilities: he could resolve complex mathematical problems without understanding how, and he had a strong photographic memory, though what came out of the memory was not necessarily what went in.

He credited carrot juice as the beginning of his neurological recovery. The carotene and vitamin content of carrot juice, he speculated, may work to neutralize and bind the free radical metals, beginning a process of clearing the communication pathways. As he continued on raw foods, his brain recovered progressively. By the time of his seminars, approximately 80 percent of his brain was alive by his account, compared to 10 percent at age 20, though he retained 65 percent scar tissue throughout.

He distinguished between his brain having sufficient alive and functioning tissue to perform at a high level during seminars and the ongoing underlying damage that scar tissue represents. He attributed his ability to hold multiple complex threads of information simultaneously across an entire day of speaking to maintaining his diet strictly, avoiding carbohydrates that would cause advanced glycation end products, and ensuring his brain had the fat and raw nutrients it needed to operate.
