Cosmic Radiation
Radiation exists on a spectrum from beneficial to catastrophic depending on its source and isolation. Solar radiation, received as a complete spectrum, transforms skin fats into vitamin D; any nuclear or manufactured isolated ray accumulates as irreversible cellular damage.
The sources Aajonus drew from do not isolate "cosmic radiation" as a distinct category separate from the broader spectrum of radiation he discussed across nuclear, medical, solar, electromagnetic, and environmental contexts. His framework treated radiation as a continuous spectrum of energetic particles and waves, and he was consistent in his view that the human body evolved to handle certain naturally occurring forms of radiation while being fundamentally damaged by isolated, manufactured, or concentrated forms. The sun is the primary natural radiation source he addressed in depth, and he distinguished its effects categorically from those produced by nuclear materials, medical equipment, X-rays, infrared lamps, and other engineered sources. His position was that naturally occurring background radiation, including the small trace amounts of radioactive minerals naturally present in the body and in vegetative systems, is a normal part of biological life, while any isolated or amplified radiation source produces damage that accumulates and persists for extraordinary lengths of time.
He described the neurological system as delivering light and electricity through metallic minerals, noting that metallic minerals conduct electricity, reflect light, and carry light, and that a small amount of radioactive material naturally exists in the body as part of any vegetative system. He characterized this as a micro trace amount, something normal and necessary, and distinguished it entirely from the radioactive contamination produced by medical treatments, nuclear fallout, or industrial materials. The presence of naturally occurring trace radioactivity in the body was not a concern in his framework; it was the manufactured, concentrated, or isolated varieties that he identified as the source of severe and long-lasting disease.
His personal history of receiving ten weeks of intense radiation therapy beginning February 12, 1968, for a metastasized stomach cancer tumor on his surgical incision gave him direct experiential authority he returned to repeatedly. He described this as the most consequential injury of his life, one that produced blood and bone cancer, destroyed the bone around his teeth, cauterized his spine, and left him in excruciating pain for decades. From that foundation he built his entire understanding of what radiation does to biological tissue and how the body attempts to respond to it, and from his recovery he developed the nutritional protocols he recommended to others.
Solar Radiation and Body Health
Aajonus described the sun's radiation as the one form of radiation the human body is adapted to receive and use beneficially. He explained that sun radiation absorbed into the skin interacts with the fats present in the skin and transforms into vitamin D along with a complex array of cholesterols and fats that the body uses for strength, protection, and energy. He stated that this transformation is the actual mechanism behind vitamin D production, that the fats in the skin transform into vitamin D when radiation from the sun strikes them, and that this is the biological truth behind the principle the mainstream acknowledges but does not properly contextualize.
He emphasized that the sun's radiation is always a complete spectrum, whether received directly or by reflection, even when the ozone layer is not reducing its magnitude. This completeness was central to his distinction between solar radiation and all other forms. He said that sterile rock, ceramics, or manufactured light sources are not emitters of balanced rays, and that this imbalance causes biological disruption whose form depends on the individual.
He observed that the radiation from the sun is normally absorbed into the animal fat in the skin, where it is transformed and processed, and that if the body cannot complete this conversion, the skin remains red until the radiation mixes with the skin's fats and is converted. He noted that people who lack adequate fat in their skin cannot perform this conversion efficiently, which manifests as skin that stays red without tanning, since tanning occurs after the vitamin D conversion is complete or when the body absorbs all the vitamin D produced within a few hours. He used African skin as evidence against the sun-damage narrative, stating that if the sun caused wrinkling and damage, Africans would not have the most beautiful skin on the planet.
He stated that the sun's radiation storms in the period around 2012 through 2017 were broadcasting approximately nine million miles farther than normal, and that this increase was part of a natural 26,000-year cycle rather than something caused by industrial activity. He acknowledged that industry contributed to certain atmospheric conditions but was clear that the fundamental solar and Earth changes underway were not caused by human pollution.
His personal sun protocol involved getting two hours of sun exposure in a single stretch, with butter and bone marrow rubbed into the body during that time. In Asia, he said he was able to get sun almost all day. He recommended that if someone had too much radiation coming into the skin, putting milk on the skin would help convert the vitamin D or pull the radiation out of the system.
Isolated and Manufactured Radiation Sources
Aajonus drew a sharp categorical line between naturally complete radiation from the sun and the isolated rays produced by any nuclear or nuclearized mineral source. He stated explicitly: "Any time radiation is created by a nuclear or nuclearized mineral, even infrared, it is an isolated ray and has not been found to be beneficial long-term, even when in the least magnitude."
He illustrated this with a personal account about his father, an inventor and engineer with General Electric, who purchased an infrared lamp to treat his sons' acne. After mild use over two weeks, the lamp damaged their skin. His father concluded that human skin was not adapted to use isolated infrared properly.
He described the far infrared sauna with qualified concern, acknowledging that it is substantially less hot than a conventional sauna, but stating that the heat still exceeds the temperature at which vitamins and bacteria are destroyed in skin, which he placed at 43.4 degrees Celsius or 110 degrees Fahrenheit. He also identified the isolated radiation itself as harmful, consistent with his principle that any non-solar radiation emitter produces imbalanced rays.
He described one of the worst reactions to such isolated radiation sources as a type of adrenal exhaustion accompanied by hyperactivity in the nerves, and he noted that this same symptom pattern results from many types of overexposure to other radiation forms including cell phone and WiFi radiation. He identified another consequence as the production of a toxic variety of vitamin D that can seem beneficial for one to two years before its harmful effects become apparent, and he noted that removing this toxic vitamin D can be troublesome.
He categorized electromagnetic fields as a related form of energy that interacts with radiation in compounding ways. He cited University of Bristol researchers who found that strong EMFs attract radon decay products and cause them to vibrate, making them more likely to adhere to human tissue, and he stated that people living industrial electromagnetic lifestyles would likely experience similar compounding effects from the radioactive particles dispersed from sources like Fukushima.
Ionizing Radiation Types Explained
In the context of dirty bomb and nuclear fallout scenarios, Aajonus included a description of the three types of ionizing radiation that people actually need to be concerned about, distinguishing them from the many other radiation forms humans live with continuously. He explained that ionizing radiation consists of subatomic particles moving at the speed of light that strike individual cells, kill the nucleus, and keep moving. The mechanism of radiation poisoning is the accumulation of so many dead cells that the decaying cellular matter poisons the body, exactly paralleling what happens when radiation treatments are given for cancer, only with a larger area affected.
He specified that alpha particles are stopped by skin alone, that beta particles are stopped by a page of newspaper or clothing, and that the primary danger from these two types is inhaling dust contaminated with atoms emitting them. Gamma rays, by contrast, travel through the body entirely and kill many cells throughout their passage. He noted that it takes a great deal of dense material to stop gamma rays but also that it takes a large dose of them to kill a person.
He addressed a specific exchange in which a chemist argued that the idea that oranges and avocados eaten together could neutralize radiation was "pure fantasy" because these chemicals could have no effect on radiation emitted from the nucleus of other atoms. Aajonus responded that he was living proof this conclusion was untrue, and that the fantasy was the belief that chemists have everything understood, categorized, and under control, citing Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima as evidence of the gap between chemistry's theoretical certainty and actual outcomes. He stated that having personally suffered the effects of radioactive iodine injected directly preceding radiation treatments 43 years prior, and still experiencing occasional intense radiation nausea and an iodine taste averaging once yearly, he had to conclude that radioactively charged iodine has a much longer biological life than physics textbooks explain.
How Radiation Damages the Body
Aajonus described radiation damage through multiple mechanisms operating simultaneously. When radioactive material enters the body, it continues irradiating surrounding tissue indefinitely. He stated that any metallic mineral in the body, including naturally present iodine, cobalt, barium, and others, can be converted to a radioactive state by X-ray exposure, and once converted it remains radioactive for 25,000 to 50,000 years. If the radioactive material is uranium or similar, the half-life is 550,000 years. He said this directly: "If it's uranium or something like that in the body, then you've got 550,000 years as a half-life."
He described what happens to tissue surrounding radioactive material. The irradiating particles damage neighboring cells continuously, causing them to become irritated, damaged, and diseased. If enough cells in an area are affected, a pulse or pain reaction occurs. The body then sends nutrients to the area to attempt neutralization or control of the damage. When it cannot dissolve the radioactive material, the body may attempt to surround it, mummifying cells around the area to create a barrier, analogous to the twelve-to-fifteen-foot thick concrete barriers used to contain radioactive material in nuclear facilities, except that the body has no such thickness available to work with, so the barrier is always insufficient.
His own radiation therapy experience illustrated the heat mechanism specifically. He described the radiation gun as pivoting back and forth across his midsection, running at intensities far beyond a standard X-ray. He said a standard X-ray uses one one-thousandth of a second of exposure, whereas each pass of the radiation machine ran for fifteen to twenty seconds at very high doses, making each pass equivalent to over a hundred thousand standard X-ray doses. The result was that the radiation cauterized his spine, likening it to taking malleable clay and firing it in a kiln at cone ten, transforming a malleable substance into brittle rock. His spine became so hardened that any movement caused the vertebrae to pinch, cut, and lacerate the nerves. He described being unable to move even slightly without excruciating pain, unable to sit down without five to ten minutes of effort, and unable to sleep ten minutes without waking in pain.
He also described how radiation stops cell reproduction entirely. Because cells cannot regenerate under radiation exposure, the consequence is accumulation of dead cells in scarred and injured areas rather than actual healing. He described gums receding and the bone around all his teeth dissolving so that his teeth dangled in their sockets. When he pressed his jaws together, he bled profusely, up to half a cup of blood at a time, requiring up to two blood transfusions per week. Everything he consumed had to be liquid, blended through large straws. He survived on powdered donuts blended with RC Cola during this period.
Beyond bone destruction, he identified radiation therapy as a direct cause of blood and bone cancer. He stated that the radiation treatments he received caused him to develop multiple myeloma, cancer of the blood and bone. He framed this as an inherent consequence of radiation therapy, not an unusual complication: "What does radiation therapy cause? Blood and bone cancer. These doctors are administering treatment, and it's not therapy, it causes more disease."
He described the body's attempt to body eating its own bones to obtain calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus to neutralize radioactively charged minerals including iodine and barium. He experienced constant nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea for years following treatments.
Radiation From Environmental Sources
Aajonus identified an extensive list of radiation sources beyond nuclear events and medical treatments. He enumerated them in his detoxification section: medication, medical testing, X-rays, fluorescent lighting, television, computer monitors, laser printers, cellular phones, Bluetooth technology, irradiated food, microwaves, scanners, industrial pollution, jewelry, building material, and EMFs from improperly grounded electrical connections and operating machinery.
He described depleted uranium in building materials as a specific industrial radiation source, stating that governments were allowing 22 percent depleted uranium content in building materials. He said this directly to construction workers, explaining that steel framing material may contain 22 percent radioactive material, and that drilling, cutting, or sanding that material results in inhalation of radioactive particles that then become lodged most often in the stomach and intestines, where they continue irradiating the surrounding tissue.
He described a personal incident in which he was putting up a carport and scratched his hand on a steel girder. Within one hour the scratch had blistered as if burned, despite penetrating only one layer under the skin. He identified this immediately as radioactive material in the steel and confirmed it by calling the manufacturer.
He described irradiated food as a specific ongoing source of radiation accumulation. He stated that he personally cannot eat food that has been irradiated, including food scanned at airport security. He said he would have to throw out food that passed through airport radiation scanning. He described specialty meats as being almost entirely irradiated at the time of his workshops, with pork in regular markets being the primary target, and noted that the trend would continue expanding over the following decade.
He described a radiologist who told him she had accidentally left two shields over an area she needed to photograph and assumed she had wasted the film, but when she developed it, the image came through anyway, which she interpreted as evidence of how much radiation was passing through even with shielding.
He also described his experience of getting nauseous from the low-level radiation of supermarket barcode scanners, using this as an illustration of how accumulated prior radiation damage creates ongoing sensitivity to even small subsequent exposures.
Nuclear Contamination After Fukushima
Following the Fukushima disaster, Aajonus wrote extensively about the specific isotopes released and their biological behavior. He identified the primary isotopes of concern as cesium-137, iodine-131, strontium-90, and plutonium-241 along with plutonium-241's decayed waste americium-241.
He described iodine-131 as accumulating in the thyroid with relatively rapid radioactive decay. Cesium-137 lingers for decades, dissolves in water, mixes with rain, enters soil and groundwater, and is taken up by plants and animals. Strontium-90 poses a deeper health risk by acting like calcium in the body, accumulating in bones and teeth. Plutonium-241 and its decay product americium-241 represent the longest-duration contamination risks.
He stated that the radioactivity from Fukushima was reported by one scientist as 1,800 times greater than the hydrogen bomb, and that he hoped people would not travel to Japan to document the disaster until the radiation dissipated in 500,000 years.
He stated that Fukushima's contamination was affecting the United States more severely than Japan itself because the wind currents carry contamination directly from Fukushima, located on Japan's eastern coast, across the Pacific to the United States. He reported that by the time of his workshops, the concentration of radioactive material in the United States had reached 2,000 times above background. He said he no longer ate fish from the American Pacific coast, from Baja to Alaska, and that he ate fish freely in the Philippines because he knew it was clean there. He would not eat oysters from the West Coast or Florida or the Gulf without Geiger counter testing.
He recommended that people obtain a Geiger counter capable of reading all three types of isotopes gassing from Japan and test all food before eating, especially anything from regions in the jet stream path, which included Hawaii. He identified commercially available Geiger counters beginning at $125 as sufficient, and advised running searches on Yahoo or Google to identify specific models measuring the relevant isotopes.
He described his personal experience of receiving radiation exposure even in Thailand and the Philippines, underscoring that the jet stream shifts and the contamination is not confined to the primary flow path.
Regarding the "do not drink milk" advice circulating in mainstream and alternative health media after Fukushima, he challenged this directly, stating that if milk were a great radiation-contaminated killer, there would be no healthy animal life within 700 kilometers of nuclear disaster zones. He pointed to the animals surviving at Chernobyl as evidence, noting that although they had deformities, they were functional and in relative good health despite living in an environment with far higher radiation than anyone outside Japan was experiencing from Fukushima fallout.
He also addressed the pharmaceutical and nuclear industry promotion of iodine supplements for thyroid protection, characterizing it as nonsense produced by manufacturers of iodine jumping on the radiation bandwagon for profit, with politicians providing false reassurance. He noted that the only tests he had read on the subject were done or paid for by the nuclear industry, which had an obvious vested interest, and that the question of whether supplemental iodine actually displaces radioactive iodine from the thyroid and prevents cancer had not been answered by independent research.
Radiation Contamination Remedies and Protocols
Aajonus developed his remedies for radiation poisoning from personal experience recovering from his own treatments, working with at least a hundred other patients who had also suffered radiation treatments, and observing consistent patterns of symptom relief from specific foods and substances.
His primary radiation contamination remedy list was as follows:
Organic no-salt raw cheeses eaten frequently help absorb and neutralize free-radical radioactive minerals. Pineapple eaten with no-salt raw cheeses helps dissolve cellular radiation damage and harness the byproducts. Papaya eaten with no-salt raw cheeses helps prevent scarring. No-salt raw butter eaten with no-salt raw cheeses helps prevent radioactive substances from entering cells and buffers nuclear exchanges. No-salt raw butter eaten with unheated honey helps digestion and healing.
Oranges and avocados eaten together help neutralize radiation, particularly the symptoms of nausea and burn. He defended this combination against chemists who argued it was fantasy, stating that from repeated personal experience and clinical observation over decades, taking this combination regularly caused radiation symptoms to ease dramatically. He also noted that the combination facilitates the body's ability to discard stored radiation when avocado is eaten with orange or with melons.
Aloe vera gel eaten directly from the plant, with the green skin specifically excluded, helps soothe and heal radiation burn.
One ounce of raw milk consumed once hourly helps protect the intestines and nerves.
Eggs were identified as needed for binding with radioactive acids and cancer acids, with eggs consumed raw in the Rocky style specified as preferable.
Animal fat was identified as the quickest means of cleaning out radiation therapy or chemotherapy from the body. He stated that cream is the only fat he knew of that soothes the nervous system, and he connected the summer craving for ice cream to the sun's radiation beating down on people who lack adequate fats in their skin tissue. He explained that in a well-nourished person, solar radiation is absorbed into the animal fat in the skin and transforms into vitamin D and complex fats and cholesterols. He also described using cream with chlorella and meat during periods of bombing or heavy environmental contamination.
Blueberries, coconut cream, cheese, and a little dairy cream at least every other day were recommended for someone dealing with radioactive material such as barium from GI contrast procedures.
Moist ceramic clay used both externally and internally was described as a critical tool, particularly for people with ongoing radiation exposure from sources like milk or work environments. A clay bath, in which wet clay is applied over the body and kept moist, helps draw radiation out through the skin. Drinking one tablespoon of moist Terramin clay blended in three ounces of raw milk, taken two to four times daily, helps draw radiation out and neutralize radioactive particles through the intestines. For contaminated milk specifically, he recommended adding four tablespoons of moist Terramin clay to each gallon of raw milk, allowing the clay to settle to the bottom, then keeping and drinking the milk above the settled clay approximately three-quarters of an inch above the clay line, using it as normal for drinking, yogurt, kefir, or cheese. The milk settled with the clay is discarded. An additional tablespoon of moist clay may be added to the drinking portion for additional protection, but he specified to consume the clay with the milk to avoid losing too many beneficial minerals. Instructions for preparing moist clay are in We Want to Live, pages 181 and 182.
He described construction workers using cheese as an ongoing protective measure against radioactive building material, cutting cheese into sugar-cube-sized pieces, placing two cups' worth in a jar in their tool pouch, and eating one piece every fifteen minutes using a watch buzzer as a reminder.
For his own healing from radiation therapy cauterization of the spine, he identified the combination of eating cheese and onion as what finally stopped the pain that had persisted for more than thirty years. He described using the raw food diet's ability to restore bone as demonstrated by his own recovery: raw milk consumed over several months produced full restoration of all the bone around his teeth within approximately one year, which he characterized as remarkably fast.
He described the body's broader response to the radiation therapies he received as illustrating a principle: the body tried to neutralize the radioactively charged minerals by eating its own bone to obtain calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus, demonstrating that the body has inherent strategies for managing radiation poisoning that are supported, rather than replaced, by the nutritional protocols he recommended.
For people who could not tolerate raw dairy, he acknowledged the limitation his protocol created but emphasized that raw dairy was the fundamental element of radiation protection and that alternatives without it were substantially less effective.
Testing Food for Radioactive Contamination
Aajonus consistently recommended Geiger counter testing for food from regions in the jet stream path from Japan, and from any area near nuclear contamination. He specified that the Geiger counter must be capable of reading all three primary isotopes: cesium-137, iodine-131, and strontium-90, along with plutonium-241 and americium-241. He said that if oysters, milk, or any other food reads no radioactivity on such a device, it is safe to eat.
He stated he would not trust anything from the West Coast, Florida, or the Gulf without testing. He said food that reads any radioactivity should not be consumed, particularly fish caught in the Pacific from Baja to Alaska. He reported personally experiencing radiation in both Thailand and the Philippines, indicating the contamination had spread beyond the immediate jet stream path, and his instruction was emphatic: "YOU HAVE TO TEST THE FOOD."
For glowing pork or other iridescent meat, he said that no laboratory he knew of checked for the types of radioactive material that would cause iridescence in meat, and that the only available personal testing option was a Geiger counter capable of measuring strontium and similar radioactive materials.
Radiation and Electromagnetic Fields
Aajonus identified electromagnetic fields as a compounding factor in radiation toxicity. He cited the Bristol University research showing that strong EMFs attract radon decay products, cause them to vibrate, and make them more likely to adhere to human tissue, and he stated that people living industrial electromagnetic lifestyles would likely experience similar compounding effects from radiation particles in the environment.
He described EMFs specifically as emitting waves of neutrons and protons that exchange and change the molecular structures of most biological substances within their range, and that scientists had demonstrated animal cells exposed to EMFs above three milligauss had their molecular structure altered, with fragmentation of electrons occurring that he compared to "huge meteors striking Earth." He said the effects included tinnitus, hyper-allergic states, hypersensitivity, soreness, hyperactivity, ADD, ADHD, anger, joint soreness, and muscle problems.
He described a case in which a woman named Beth, who had been eating Primal Diet foods since about 2003, was exposed to constant extremely high electromagnetic fields from faulty low-grade electrical power lines from 2008 to 2009. The exposure forced her to leave her home and altered her body dramatically, reversing health gains she had previously sustained. She died at 67 years old, and he attributed her early death in significant part to this EMF exposure. He stated she was exposed to milligauss rates above the top of her measuring devices.
He identified specific electronic devices and installations as EMF radiation hazards: jet-stream-style hot tubs with motors close to the water, electro-muscular stimulators, and the general background of household electronics and wireless technology. He described running experiments with ion machines and diesel or gas exhaust in a laboratory room, finding that the ions created mechanically bombarded surrounding surfaces and turned everything black except where furniture blocked the field.
