Capillaries

Aajonus described the body as organized around three fluid circulatory systems: the blood, the lymphatic system, and the neurological fluid system. Each of these runs as a complex web network throughout the entire body, and each terminates in capillary-type endings at the finest scale. He pointed out that the blood capillaries are well known by that name, that anatomy and physiology texts do name the equivalent fine endings in the neurological system, though these are far less commonly taught, and that the lymphatic system similarly has capillary-type endings extending into the skin and all tissues.

He described these three systems as going everywhere in the body simultaneously, layered and interwoven so densely that a person is essentially a web of circulating fluids at every level of tissue. In the context of the lymphatic system specifically, he noted that you have capillary-type endings in the skin, everywhere, with the lymphatic circulation, just as you do with the blood, and that it permeates everywhere throughout the system. This point was central to his understanding of how toxins are both distributed and eliminated, since each of these fine terminal networks participates in either delivery or removal of substances at the cellular level.

One of the more specific clinical observations Aajonus addressed was the appearance of broken blood capillaries on the face, either on the surface or just below it. His direct statement on the cause was that alcohol and carbohydrates, both recent consumption and stored accumulations, are the greatest assaulters of capillaries. He did not present these as one factor among many but as the primary and dominant causes of capillary damage in this context.

He noted that carbohydrates progress this kind of deterioration the most rapidly. The stored element is significant in his framing: it is not only what a person is currently consuming but what has been laid down in tissues over years that continues to act on the capillaries. This is consistent with his broader view that the body continues to detoxify old residues when conditions allow, and that visible surface damage can appear or worsen precisely during a period of healing, not because the current diet is causing harm but because stored toxins are being mobilized and passing through or damaging tissues on the way out.

Aajonus offered a specific anatomical interpretation of varicose veins, describing them directly as swollen capillaries on a larger scale. He stated that varicose veins are what capillaries have done, but larger, meaning the same swelling process that affects the tiniest vessels also manifests in the larger visible veins when the underlying cause is sufficiently severe or systemic.

He identified the primary cause as improper utilization of sugars in the body, typically associated with too much insulin or a low level of insulin. The sequence he described was that sugars break down the tissues, fats then move in to attempt healing, and if those fats are solid rather than fluid fats, they can cause occlusions. However, he was clear that the occlusion is not the first cause; the first cause is the sugar-mediated tissue breakdown. He observed that diabetics and his own mother exemplified this pattern, where the veins seem to pop out and grow large as a result of chronic sugar mishandling.

In his clinical observation of his own body, he noted that the only place he still had this condition was the ankle, and he described those as very close to the veins, red, and almost like capillaries. He confirmed that varicose veins in the hands and arms that pop up and down can simply indicate increased circulation rather than worsening of any condition.

Beyond the face, Aajonus addressed the appearance of varicose veins and spider veins in the legs and thighs, linking these to capillaries and veins thickening with toxins. He identified the usual cause as metals, and also noted that toxic insulin or toxic adrenaline can cause those veins to thicken. Additionally, excess water in the tissues can cause thickening, because it saturates the tissue structure.

For someone experiencing these symptoms on the Primal Diet, Aajonus was direct in saying that the diet has no toxins to cause those symptoms and that the condition results from a lifetime of eating toxic foods. He acknowledged that symptoms sometimes take as long as sixteen years to pass even on the diet. The appearance or worsening of thread veins and surface veins during the diet he attributed to the body's detoxification process moving old stored toxins through those tissues.

He also noted that major systemic detoxifications occur in specific age ranges, including twelve to fifteen, twenty-four to twenty-six, twenty-nine to thirty-two, thirty-eight to forty-one, forty-nine to fifty-five, and fifty-eight to sixty-one years, during which many poisons are sent through the connective tissue and skin, causing damage to those systems and sometimes scarring. He added that most often at least half of those symptoms reverse several years following the major detoxifications.

Aajonus mentioned that apple cider vinegar rubbed into the skin over varicose veins and spider veins will help because it helps chelate with heavy metals that make up the artery and capillaries. He framed this as a topical application that assists the body in drawing out the metallic deposits that have accumulated in and around the capillary walls. This was offered as an adjunct observation, not a primary protocol, and was presented as something he had read about years earlier and confirmed was consistent with the mechanism of metal-laden capillary thickening.

Aajonus drew a specific and important distinction between malignant and benign tumors with respect to capillary circulation. In a malignant cancerous tumor, he observed that there is active circulation in, through, and between the dead cells, with capillaries visibly present throughout the tumor mass. He pointed out that this capillary presence in a malignant tumor means you can still transport nutrients to dissolve the tumor, because the circulatory access is maintained.

By contrast, in a benign tumor, there is no blood circulation, no lymphatic circulation, and no neurological circulation entering the tumor. He described this as meaning there is no way to dissolve a benign tumor quickly. It can only be dissolved from the outside in, very slowly, if internal, because there are no capillary pathways by which dissolving agents or nutrients can reach the interior of the mass.

Aajonus described hemorrhoids in terms of heavy metal toxicity, particularly mercury, formaldehyde, or thallium being dumped out of the body through the bloodstream when the body uses whatever passage is available. He described how mercury molecules bind with tubulin and disrupt the myelin sheath formation in nerves, and used that same principle to explain what happens in the rectal area: the heavy metals break the capillaries and veins, resulting in internal bleeding. The hemorrhoid images he described to workshop attendees showed all the internal bleeding this causes, with the body attempting to eliminate massive toxicity through those capillary and vein walls in the rectal region.

Aajonus noted that in some people, particularly those with chronic drying and hardening of tissues, the veins, arteries, and capillaries can become so blocked that they actually close off completely. He described this as part of a process similar to impacted bowels, but in the vascular network, where hardened buildup completely occludes the passage. In such cases, the body will actually grow new veins in and around the blocked areas to compensate for the loss of circulation.

He also described Ebola in this framework, noting from his limited investigation that it appeared to have the capacity to melt old hardened tissue, including the networks of blocked and hardened capillaries and veins, in the same way that mycelium melts dead roots. He framed this not as a purely destructive process but as one that could clear old closed networks, though he acknowledged the risk if healthy tissue became involved.

Aajonus recommended applying heat to areas with varicose veins or spider veins, specifically using hot water bottles wrapped in a towel placed against the leg in a tent configuration to draw warmth into the tissue without binding it tightly. His reasoning was that heat allows more circulation into the area, and more circulation means more nutrients reaching the capillaries and surrounding tissue. He noted that pineapple with coconut cream, cheese, and honey are good supports for the body when working on vascular issues in the legs.

For the fat component, his consistent position was that fluid fats, not solid fats, are what the body needs to attempt repair of damaged capillary and vein walls. Solid fats moved in to heal sugar-damaged tissue can cause occlusions, whereas fluid fats perform the repair without blocking the vessel. This is the distinction he drew between the healing attempt and the secondary problem of occlusion.
