Microwaves

Aajonus described microwaves as putting a reverse spin on whatever substance they act upon. He was responding directly to a question about whether this was true, and he confirmed it as his understanding of the mechanism by which microwaves break matter down. His explanation distinguished between loose or uncontained matter and living, contained biological systems. In a cup of water or a loose liquid, the reverse spin does not necessarily change the flavor or cause an explosive reaction because the substance is not bound and active in the way a living organism is. His exact framing was that as long as the substance is loose, it is okay.

However, if a live animal is placed in a microwave, the reverse spin interacts with the contained, active biological systems and the result is that the animal will explode. He offered this as a direct consequence of the reversal acting on something that is alive and enclosed. He stated clearly he would never do such a thing and offered it as an illustration of the mechanism rather than a practical scenario.

Aajonus gave a specific and concrete caution against microwaving rice. When asked whether it was acceptable to heat a bag of rice in the microwave, he said no, explaining that the minerals in rice hold onto radiation and will irradiate the person who eats it. He specified that each time rice is microwaved, it acquires approximately a 46-hour radioactive life. This means that the minerals within the rice, which are capable of absorbing and retaining radiation, become transiently radioactive after microwave exposure and then deliver that radiation to the person consuming the food during that window. His recommendation was to use a hot water bottle instead of microwave heating for therapeutic warming purposes.

Aajonus placed microwave radiation within a larger list of sources through which the modern body chronically accumulates radiation. In his book "We Want to Live," he listed the sources of radiation detoxification symptoms as including medication, medical testing, X-rays, fluorescent lighting, television, computer monitors, laser printers, cellular phones, Bluetooth technology, irradiated food, microwaves, scanners, industrial pollution, jewelry, building materials, and EMFs from improperly grounded electrical connections and operating machinery. Microwaves appear explicitly in this list as one of many vectors for radiation exposure, not an isolated concern.

He described the overall effect of this chronic buildup as adding more radiation to the system and increasing toxicity. The cumulative nature of the burden was important to him. In one workshop exchange, he confirmed that ambient radiation from such sources adds to a chronic buildup in the body and that the only real mitigation he knew of for radiation passing through food or milk involved moist ceramic clay mixed into the milk.

Aajonus made a related point about radio waves and metal contact with food, which he connected to the same family of electromagnetic concerns as microwave radiation. He noted that any time food comes into contact with metal, radio waves affect the food. He explained that radio waves pass through almost everything, just as a radio will play wherever a signal is close enough. This framing suggests he understood the domestic electromagnetic environment as continuously affecting food that sits in or near metal containers, with the effect modulated by the thickness and density of surrounding walls. More solid walls reduce the amount of radio wave influence on food stored inside.

Aajonus described a mechanism by which existing minerals in the body, including iodine, cobalt, and other metallic minerals, can be charged into a radioactive state by external radiation exposure such as X-rays. He said that everyone has iodine and cobalt and other metallic minerals in the body, and that an X-ray visit to the dentist can render some of those minerals radioactive for 25,000 to 50,000 years. Once radioactively charged, those minerals continue to irritate, damage, and diseased the cells around them. If enough cells in an area are affected, a pulse or pain response occurs, and the body must send nutrients to the area to try to neutralize or contain the damage. He described the body sometimes mummifying cells around such areas to create a barrier, analogous to the 12-to-15-foot-thick concrete walls used to contain radioactive material in industrial settings. He pointed out that the body has no such barrier capacity and that the radioactive material is circulating freely inside it.

This mechanism, while described primarily in the context of X-ray and radiation therapy, applies equally in his framework to any ionizing radiation source including microwaves insofar as they charge minerals in food or tissue.

Aajonus taught that animal fat is the body's primary protective and remedial substance against radiation damage. He explained that the sun's radiation is normally absorbed into the animal fat in the skin, where it is transformed into vitamin D and a complex array of fats and cholesterols that support strength, protection, and energy. When people lack sufficient fat in their skin tissue, solar radiation is not properly absorbed and transformed, which is why he thought people crave ice cream in summer. The cream in the ice cream soothes the nervous system and provides the fat that should be present in the skin. He stated that if someone has undergone radiation therapy or chemotherapy, the quickest way to clean that out of the body is to eat large quantities of animal fat. Cream is the only fat he identified as specifically soothing to the nervous system.

He noted that a small, naturally occurring, non-manufactured trace amount of radioactive material exists in the human body as a normal part of the neurological system, where metallic minerals conduct electricity and reflect and carry light. The concern is with artificially elevated levels from external radiation sources, including microwaves, that exceed this natural trace and impose a toxic burden.

The specific remedy Aajonus used and recommended most consistently for radiation accumulation from all sources, including ambient microwave exposure, was moist Terramin clay. He described adding one tablespoon of moist Terramin clay to three ounces of raw milk and blending them, to be consumed two to four times daily to draw out and neutralize radiation and radioactive particles through the intestines. He also described clay baths, applying wet clay over the body to draw radiation out through the skin. For contaminated raw milk specifically, he described adding four tablespoons of moist Terramin clay per gallon of milk, allowing it to settle, then drinking the milk above the settled clay and discarding the milk settled with the clay.

He noted that he consumed clay in his own milk on a regular basis, that he could perceive when radiation was affecting him, and that once he began using the clay in his milk he no longer experienced the symptoms he had previously associated with ambient radiation passing through his food.

Beyond animal fat and clay, Aajonus developed a detailed list of food-based remedies drawn from his own experience recovering from the radiation therapy he received in 1968, which he said caused blood and bone cancers including multiple myeloma, bone degeneration, and the near-loss of all bone around his teeth. These remedies apply to radiation from all sources in his framework, including microwave exposure as part of the chronic accumulation:

Organic no-salt raw cheeses eaten frequently to absorb and neutralize free-radical radioactive minerals. Aloe vera gel eaten directly from the plant, without the green skin, to soothe and heal radiation burn. Oranges and avocados eaten together to help neutralize radiation. Pineapple and no-salt raw cheeses eaten together to dissolve cellular radiation damage and harness byproducts. Papaya eaten with no-salt raw cheeses to prevent scarring. No-salt raw butter eaten with no-salt raw cheeses to prevent radioactive substances from entering cells and to buffer nuclear exchanges. No-salt raw butter eaten with unheated honey to support digestion and healing. One ounce of raw milk consumed once hourly to protect the intestines and nerves. Clay baths to draw radiation out through the skin. One tablespoon of moist Terramin clay blended in three ounces of raw milk to draw radiation through the intestines.

Aajonus treated X-ray scanners at airports and shipping facilities as functionally equivalent to other forms of food irradiation and stated unequivocally that if he knew food had passed through such a scanner, he would not eat it. He recounted being unable to eat food that had passed through airport radiation because of his prior intensive radiation therapy, and that he would throw the food away rather than consume it. He wrote a medical notation for a patient stating that the patient's food must not be exposed to irradiation from any mechanical source, including airport security scanning devices, and that foods processed or irradiated by security scanning devices might cause hyperallergic symptoms in that patient.

He noted that a notation on a shipping box stating "For Medical Reasons, Do NOT X-ray. Hand inspect if necessary" would eliminate the danger. He also described his personal approach at grocery store checkout, where he described allowing about two and a half feet of belt to pass before placing his next item so the scanner did not dwell on his food, and noting that going through the scanner once made his milk sting his tongue mildly, while going through twice created a noticeable problem.

Aajonus described each computer monitor and television as containing three laser guns that emit radiation for 27 feet, even through a screen placed in front of the monitor. He contrasted this with LCD screens, which he said have an emission of about one inch of fallout. Laptop computers, he found, have an EMF field that breaks down approximately six inches from the end of the device. A PowerBook G4 running at 800 MHz measured 50 to 100 milligauss on his meter, while 3 milligauss is considered the safe threshold in the environmental health field. He felt agitation to his bones from the laptop even at two feet of distance using a separate keyboard.

He recommended buying an EMF meter, specifically the Tri-Field meter, which measures three different fields: electromagnetic, electrical, and radiation including cell phone levels. He carried his meter when traveling to measure hotel rooms and would request a different room or change hotels if EMFs were high.

Aajonus specifically cautioned against using electric heating pads and electric blankets because they emit electromagnetic fields that alter the molecular structure of cells. He said cells do not reproduce well after that kind of exposure and remain weak afterward. His recommendation was always to use hot water bottles instead, as they produce heat through a non-radiating mechanism. He noted that hot water bottles are risky if they get too hot because excessive heat destroys enzymes, but that wrapping them in an extra towel mitigates this. This guidance was consistent with his broader position that any electromagnetic radiation source, including household appliances in close proximity to the body, represents an ongoing cellular hazard.
