Machophages
Phagocytic white blood cells whose primary function is consuming dead and decaying red blood cells, keeping blood clean. Composed 60 to 80 percent fat, their janitorial capacity depends entirely on dietary fat quality. Elevated counts indicate toxic burden, not disease.
Aajonus did not use the term "macrophages" as a distinct category in his framework. The cells that conventional medicine labels macrophages, tissue-resident phagocytes that engulf and digest cellular debris, pathogens, and foreign particles, were addressed by Aajonus through his discussion of phagocytes and white blood cells more broadly. He did not distinguish macrophages from other phagocytic white blood cells in his teaching. What he described under the heading of phagocytes covers the function that macrophages are conventionally said to perform.
Phagocytes, in Aajonus's framework, are white blood cells whose primary and original purpose is to consume dead and decaying red blood cells within the bloodstream, thereby keeping the blood clean and efficient. The word phagocyte derives from the Greek "phago," meaning to eat, and Aajonus used this etymology explicitly to explain their function: they eat organic cellular debris. He described them as cells that are 60% to 80% fat, emphasizing that their composition is predominantly fatty rather than protein-based, and he connected this fat content directly to their ability to absorb, escort, and neutralize toxins.
The source passages do not contain detailed or extended commentary on macrophages as a named cell type. What Aajonus said about their equivalent function is embedded entirely within his broader teaching on white blood cells, phagocytes, the lymphatic system, and the body's janitorial biology.
Phagocytes As Framework Equivalent
Aajonus described phagocytes as the white blood cells responsible for consuming degenerative waste products in the form of organic matter and cellular particles that are being shed from tissue throughout the body. Within the bloodstream specifically, he said their original and proper function is to eat dead red blood cells as those cells decay and break down, preventing a decaying reaction from occurring in the blood itself. He stated plainly that "the white blood cells will eat any decaying red blood cells," and that this process is what keeps the blood clean. He said that phagocytes will also eat other white blood cells if those die, meaning the blood system is essentially self-contained in managing its own cellular waste.
He noted that phagocytes circulate in the bloodstream and will consume fungal particles and other organic fragments that are being thrown off from tissue, keeping those particles from causing disruption in the system. Their work in the bloodstream allows the red blood cells to continue transporting oxygen without interference, and allows other white blood cells to continue their task of removing carbon dioxide from cells and escorting it to the lungs and skin.
Composition and Fat Dependency
Aajonus was specific about the fat composition of white blood cells including phagocytes, placing the figure at between 60% and 80% fat, with 80% being the figure he cited more frequently. He described them not as pure fat cells but as cells in which fat is the dominant structural and functional constituent. Because of this high fat content, he said they are capable of absorbing toxins and escorting them out of the body, primarily through dumping them into the bowels or through the skin. He said the white blood cells, as mainly fat cells, "absorb toxins and will help escort them, dump them into the bowels or mainly out the skin so the body can discard" those substances.
This fat dependency means that when dietary fat is deficient or when the available fats in the body are damaged, cooked, hydrogenated, or otherwise rendered non-functional, the phagocytes are impaired in their ability to perform this work. The entire janitorial capacity of these cells rests on the quality and availability of fats in the body.
The Problem of Overload
Aajonus described a condition in which the body's toxic burden has grown so large that phagocytes are required in numbers far beyond what conventional medicine considers normal. He stated that because of the immense toxicity accumulated in modern bodies, the blood has been forced to take on functions it was never designed to perform, including delivering nutrients that should be carried by the lymphatic system. This has created a situation in which phagocytes must be far more numerous and active than any baseline established by the pharmaceutical industry. He said explicitly that "everybody should have a high white blood cell count who's toxic" and that the counts deemed abnormal by pharmaceutical standards should actually be expected as a normal response to a toxic body. He considered elevated white blood cell counts, including elevated phagocyte activity, as a sign that the body is working to manage an excess burden, not as a sign of disease.
White Blood Cells and Immune Defense
The source passages make clear that Aajonus saw phagocytes as operating in a different compartment than the lymphatic system's janitorial work, though both serve cleaning functions. Phagocytes handle waste within the bloodstream itself. The lymphatic system, including its bacteria, parasites, fungus, and the solvents the body produces as viruses, handles waste in the rest of the body's tissues. He noted that under conditions of massive cellular destruction such as surgery, white blood cells leave the bloodstream and enter the fluids in tissues to assist with the dissolution of dead cells, indicating that phagocytic function is not strictly confined to the blood under extreme circumstances.
He also described how under conditions of extreme toxicity, when the lymphatic system becomes congested and unable to dissolve dead cells, the body begins to store those cells in tumors and granulomas rather than eliminate them. In those situations, the phagocytes in the blood are insufficient to address the backlog, and the entire cleansing apparatus of the body becomes overwhelmed.
