Chemotherapy

Aajonus described chemotherapy straightforwardly as poison introduced into the body with the stated objective of killing cancer cells. He held that the poisoning is not selective. The drug does not distinguish between cancerous tissue and healthy tissue. His stated ratio was that for every one cancer cell chemotherapy destroys, it kills approximately one billion healthy cells. He used the word poison consistently and deliberately, contrasting it with the clinical terminology "chemotherapy," which he argued obscures the actual nature of the intervention. He described the medical profession's unwillingness to call it poison as a form of deception.

He specifically identified the chemotherapy he received as AZT. He stated that AZT was antifreeze, that there had been an overproduction of antifreeze at the time, and that chemical companies with financial ties to pharmaceutical companies needed to dispose of it. According to Aajonus, the decision to repurpose AZT as a cancer medication was driven by this surplus rather than by therapeutic efficacy. He noted that AZT was outlawed approximately one year after he received it, on the grounds that it was determined to be too toxic for cancer patients. He found it significant that what was deemed too dangerous for patients was the exact substance administered to him.

He also stated that a UCLA study published in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment in September 2006 showed that chemotherapy changes blood flow and metabolism in the brain. That study used positron emission tomography to scan the brains of 21 women who had undergone breast cancer surgery five to ten years earlier, with sixteen of the twenty-one having received chemotherapy, and compared them with thirteen control subjects without breast cancer or chemotherapy history.

One of Aajonus's core arguments against chemotherapy was rooted in his broader framework for understanding cancer itself. In his view, cancer is the body's inability to dissolve and eliminate dead cells. When cells die faster than the body can break them down and remove them, they accumulate, and the body builds them into tumors. Cancer cells, in his framework, are not the enemy. They are the body's mechanism for dissolving those accumulated dead cells, because each cancer cell, when it dies, releases a serum capable of dissolving approximately 50 to 200 surrounding dead cells. The cancer cell is, in his framing, the cure rather than the disease.

Chemotherapy destroys both the cancer cells and enormous quantities of healthy cells simultaneously, massively increasing the volume of dead cellular material throughout the body. The body, already lacking sufficient nutrients and enzymatic capacity to dissolve the dead cells that led to the original cancer, is now confronted with an incomparably larger burden of cellular debris. According to Aajonus, this is precisely why chemotherapy reliably produces metastasis. The dead cells created by the chemotherapy poison cannot be dissolved and removed. They accumulate throughout the body and are built into new tumors, often appearing five to seven years after treatment. He stated this timeline directly to patients and clients, telling one woman from New Zealand after her first treatment that she was going to have more cancer all over her body within five years or after, because the poison kills cells, the dead cells remain because the body lacks the nutrients and ability to dissolve them, and so cancer develops.

He wrote explicitly in his newsletter that chemo and radiation therapies cause cellular genocide, amassing dead cells likely to be built into tumors throughout the body, which is metastasis, usually within seven years of treatment.

Aajonus described his chemotherapy experience across many workshops in consistent detail. He had arrived in the medical system originally because of a stomach ulcer. The treatment for that ulcer led to surgery and radiation, and the radiation produced multiple myeloma. The doctors told him there was a 1% chance of survival and that chemotherapy might add weeks or a month or two to his life. He received AZT approximately once a month for three months, sometimes skipping sessions. Even with this intermittent schedule, the effects were catastrophic.

His hair fell out entirely and came back in scraggly gray patches. He was vomiting for days after each session, bringing up blood. He could not hold anything down. He was in excruciating pain throughout his spine, which was already severely damaged from the radiation. He lost all muscle response from the pectorals down and had to crawl on the floor on his elbows, a journey he described as sometimes taking half an hour to cover the distance from his living room to his kitchen. He was defecating and urinating on himself because he could not get onto a container and the pain of attempting to do so was too great. He had cleared all furniture out of his living room and lived on the hardwood floor, having found that any surface with height or contour caused the nerve pinching and scraping along his spine to become unbearable.

He got rashes across his body. He developed psoriasis. He developed sores that would not stop seeping. His radiation had already destroyed the bone around his teeth so that the teeth dangled in his gums, and biting down produced bleeding of a half cup to a full cup of blood at a time, which required one to three blood transfusions per week. He was consuming powdered doughnuts blended with pasteurized skim milk and RC Cola through large straws, coffee, sugar, and cigarettes, because he could not eat anything in solid form and had no knowledge of nutrition at the time.

At the end of three months he told the doctors they were killing him and refused further treatment. He said he had a better chance before the chemotherapy than after it. He went home, and hospice volunteers came twice a week to shop and assist him. He described expecting to die. He was 27 years old in 1973 when he made the decision to stop all medical treatment and attempt to find another path.

The consequences of that chemotherapy persisted for decades. He reported having viral meningitis three times, which he attributed directly to the chemotherapy poisoning. He explained that the chemotherapy was so toxic that no bacteria, parasites, or fungus could survive in his body. These organisms, which in his framework would normally break down toxic tissue and assist in detoxification, were being poisoned and killed by the residual chemotherapy stored in his tissues. This left him without the biological assistance needed to process and eliminate the toxic organic material from his body, which is what produced the viral meningitis episodes.

He described tasting the chemotherapy during detoxification events that occurred many years after treatment. He had his saliva, vomit, and diarrhea tested on multiple occasions after tasting what he recognized as the AZT flavor during these detoxification episodes, and all tests came back positive for many of the compounds constituting AZT. He stated that this proved his body still harbored chemotherapy that had been etched, burned, and absorbed into cells within his body. He noted that many doctors disputed these claims. He also continued to discharge chemotherapy compounds through his skin, noting that his skin remained sensitive from the chemotherapy many years later and that the compounds were still discharging from his tissues.

His hair came in gray and in patches for 21 months after the chemotherapy ended. He explained that chemotherapy drives heavy metals into the tissues and hair follicles, damaging the follicles as the metals pass out through the hair, and also destroying the structures within the follicle responsible for pigmentation. This is why people who have chemotherapy typically lose their hair, and why when it returns it may be gray, stringy, or otherwise degraded. He described his own subsequent hair as an ongoing indicator of detoxification, with patches continuing to gray and then return to color years and even decades later, corresponding to the body's ongoing discharge of metals absorbed during the chemotherapy.

He identified himself as the only person alive who had had multiple myeloma, stomach cancer, and lymphoma simultaneously and survived beyond three months. He repeated this claim across multiple workshops, noting that the survival period typically documented for multiple myeloma alone was around seven years for approximately 2% of patients, with all others dying, and that those who survived the seven years did so feebly.

Aajonus was explicit that chemotherapy does not leave the body after treatment ends. It stores in the tissues. He made this parallel to antibiotics, which he also said store in the system and in the tissues. The presence of stored chemotherapy in the tissues continues to poison any bacteria, mold, fungus, or parasites that attempt to colonize those tissues to perform their natural functions of breaking down dead cells and toxic material. This is not a temporary effect. He described his own detoxification process as ongoing for nearly forty years following his treatment.

He described tasting AZT during a coconut cream analysis, where a chemical compound test of the coconut cream he had been using on his skin returned positive for AZT along with acrylamides and advanced glycation products. He explained this as the coconut cream drawing the stored chemotherapy out of his tissues through the skin, at which point it entered the cream. He noted that because his skin was still too sensitive from the chemotherapy, he had to be careful about what he applied to it topically.

The chemotherapy's ongoing presence in tissues also prevents normal microbial assistance with detoxification. When the body would attempt to detoxify stored industrial chemicals and organic toxins, the bacteria and other organisms that would normally facilitate that breakdown were poisoned and killed by the stored chemotherapy before they could complete their function. This produced viral meningitis episodes rather than assisted bacterial-mediated detoxification.

Aajonus cited statistics repeatedly regarding cancer survival rates following conventional treatment. He stated that among people born after 1947, approximately 32% survive beyond seven years after medical cancer treatment. Among those born after 1960, only 17% survive beyond seven years. He attributed the declining survival rate to increased vaccines, medications, and industrial chemicals in food and the environment accumulating in the bodies of successive generations. He also stated that only 7% of cancer patients treated with chemotherapy live beyond ten years. He asked rhetorically whether surviving the chemotherapy while remaining more poisoned and more likely to develop cancer again constituted genuine survival.

He referenced research conducted in Berkeley, which he described as a follow-up study of cancer cases. In that research, all patients who received surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation had an average life span of three years after diagnosis. Those who received no medical therapy whatsoever lived an average of twelve and a half years after diagnosis. He stated that this researcher brought these findings to Congress and to the California Senate, calling for an end to chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery for cancer, and that the pharmaceutical and medical industries responded by attacking the research methodology.

His published position, stated in his newsletter, was that chemotherapy and radiation should never be accepted, and that surgery should be accepted only if a tumor blocks breathing, digestion, urination, or defecation.

He also cited a McGill Cancer Center poll of 118 doctors and medical scientists in which three out of every four said they would refuse chemotherapy treatment for themselves because of its devastating effects, even while they continued to prescribe it for patients.

Aajonus viewed chemotherapy not as misguided medicine but as a deliberately profitable industry. He stated that pharmaceutical companies and medical companies are financially intertwined, that politicians hold stock in pharmaceutical companies, and that the sicker people are, the more profitable the system becomes. He described cancer treatment as a death industry, noting that the goal is not healing but the management of chronic illness in ways that generate ongoing revenue. He framed the five-year window used to declare cancer cured as a legal device rather than a genuine medical milestone, pointing out that metastasis typically occurs right after the five-year mark, so using five years as the cutoff allows physicians to claim cure while the patient subsequently develops new cancers that are then treated as new cases unrelated to the original treatment.

He also described newer cancer treatments, such as an attenuated salmonella injection combined with a chemical solvent to dissolve tumors, as falling within the same economic framework as chemotherapy. He outlined cost cycles of $60,000 to $80,000 per treatment round, with additional pharmaceutical expenses for managing the systemic toxicity produced. He regarded these newer approaches as structurally identical to chemotherapy in their financial and biological consequences.

Aajonus was direct about refusing to work with people who were currently undergoing chemotherapy or radiation. He stated that if someone was under medical treatment, they should stick with it, and that while his book and the raw food diet might help, he would not take them on as clients. His reason was practical rather than moral. People who have been through chemotherapy are already in a state of panic, and when they begin detoxifying the stored chemotherapy through the raw diet, they vomit and experience severe symptoms. They invariably interpret the vomiting as the diet causing harm rather than understanding it as the diet carrying the chemotherapy out of the system. Because they are already frightened, this misattribution causes them to abandon the diet and blame the protocol.

He also explained that chemotherapy kills cells and makes the potential for cancer much more likely. When he attempted to rebuild the bodies of chemotherapy patients, they would go into immediate and intense detoxification that was very difficult to manage. He described the vomiting triggered by the Primal Diet in post-chemotherapy patients as the body finally receiving the fluids it needs to dissolve tumors and stored dead cells, and the resulting caustic serum being dumped into the stomach as the quickest pathway out of the body because routing it through the intestines would cause constant diarrhea and burning throughout the digestive tract.

He made an exception in one documented case, working with a woman who had already undergone three chemotherapy sessions when her son brought her to him, beginning work with her ahead of her fourth session. He described her as irritable from beginning to end and hateful during the chemotherapy periods. The diet mitigated her side effects significantly, and she had approximately four weeks of relative wellness between sessions. But she continued returning for chemotherapy treatment, and she died. He explained that once the chemotherapy stops, the body begins dealing with all the stored chemotherapy, and since it is a poison the body wants to eliminate before it causes further damage, the detoxification process becomes severe. The mitigating effect of the diet during active treatment was real, but it was not sufficient to overcome the cumulative damage when the treatment continued.

He described having accepted only two clients in his documented study period who had undergone medical treatment. One had radiation therapy and one had chemotherapy. Both were described as extremely difficult cases. He stated that he did not count anyone as a successful long-term case until they had been on the diet for five years, and that he had turned down approximately ten people in a two-month period for being under active medical treatment.

A recurring point Aajonus made about chemotherapy was its destruction of the body's microbial environment. In his framework, bacteria, fungi, molds, and parasites all perform essential functions in breaking down toxic tissue, dead cells, and accumulated poisons. Chemotherapy is so toxic that none of these organisms can survive in a body saturated with it. They attempt to consume the toxic tissue, are poisoned by the chemotherapy stored within it, and die. This is not merely a problem during the treatment period. Because the chemotherapy stores in the tissues for decades, the poisoning of helpful microbes continues indefinitely.

He described his own experience with this directly: because of all the chemotherapy and radiation he had received, no bacteria or parasites could live in his body. The toxic tissue killed them when they attempted to eat it. This is what he meant by the chemotherapy being stored in the system. It does not simply pass through. It is absorbed into cells, etched into bone, deposited throughout the tissues, and remains there as an active poison to any organism attempting to break down the surrounding dead and toxic matter.

This is the mechanism he cited for his three episodes of viral meningitis after chemotherapy. With no bacteria able to survive in the toxic environment, the body lacked the bacterial assistance it would have used to process the organic toxins from industrial chemicals that had accumulated in his nervous system. The viral form of meningitis resulted from this absence of bacterial mediation.

While Aajonus's position was that chemotherapy should not be accepted, he did provide some specific guidance for people who had already undergone it or who were experiencing its side effects.

For a client whose relative was experiencing severe symptoms and pain after a fifth round of chemotherapy, including vomiting and exhaustion, he recommended no-salt raw cheese to absorb the chemotherapy poisons, one tablespoon of moist clay twice daily, and pineapple or citrus as better fruit choices than others during this period.

He stated that butter, specifically raw butter, is comparable to chemotherapy in its capacity to cut through chemical damage in the body, though the context here was that only butter, not cream or coconut cream, can address certain types of chemical damage, and that chemotherapy is as damaging as muriatic acid in what it does to the tissues. He noted that cream does not cut it and that only butter has the properties needed to address the protein digestion problems created by chemicals of this severity.

He described the raw milk he began consuming after abandoning medicine as having a profound effect on his own recovery from chemotherapy damage, stating that sucking down a quart of raw cream per day was heaven, that it relaxed his body, reduced pain, and allowed him to stop being in constant tension. He emphasized that this was not an overnight reversal and that patience during detoxification was essential.

He noted that after radiation and chemotherapy, everything tasted like metal, like drinking cans and cardboard, and that carrot juice was the first thing he could actually taste properly. He described the raw milk as still tasting somewhat metallic because he was dumping chemotherapy and radiation compounds into it during detoxification, but that despite this, his body craved it intensely.

He mentioned that fats in general play a critical role in binding with and helping the body excrete concentrated toxins, and that the body needs tremendous amounts of fat to bind with free radicals, which are acidic. This principle applied directly to chemotherapy detoxification. He regarded the absence of sufficient fat as leaving the body unable to properly neutralize and remove the chemotherapy compounds being discharged through detoxification.

For people going through heavy detoxification of stored chemotherapy, he described the body discharging compounds through the skin, through vomit, through diarrhea, and through urine. He emphasized that these discharge events, while extremely uncomfortable, are the body working correctly and should not be suppressed.
