Nerve Cells

Aajonus stated directly and repeatedly that raw meat is the only protein source he observed to facilitate nerve tissue regeneration and cellular reproduction. In his laboratory tests with animals, he fed different groups different foods and found that raw meat was the sole dietary factor associated with nerve tissue regrowth. This applied to all animal subjects he tested. No other protein category produced the same result.

He extended this to human cases, including his own son, who was in a car accident that destroyed roughly one-third of one-fifth of his brain. The medical prognosis was permanent brain damage or death. His son, raised on the raw diet, graduated college and was alive and functional at age forty. Aajonus cited this case whenever discussing the medical profession's claim that nerve damage is permanent and irreversible.

Not all raw meats were considered equally beneficial for nerve tissue, however. White meat, specifically chicken, turkey, and other fowl, was identified as the most directly supportive of connective tissue, nerves, lymph, and skin. Fish and seafood from nonfarmed, wild-caught ocean sources were said to help reconstitute nerves, including the brain. Red meat, by contrast, was better suited to regenerating glandular tissue, blood, and muscle. Aajonus later clarified that fish alone was insufficient to rebuild the myelin sheath, and that this was a mistake he had made in his first book by drawing conclusions before his experiments were complete. Neurological regeneration and development required primarily fowl, and specifically white meat of poultry. Without poultry, the nervous system did not rebuild as well, even when fish was included. Shellfish and oysters also contributed alongside fowl but were not standalone solutions.

Raw milk, specifically milk that had never been chilled, was identified as another substance capable of supporting nerve regeneration. Aajonus described a test in which he kept raw milk unrefrigerated for up to ten days in a house at 82 degrees Fahrenheit. He found that through the sixth and seventh days the milk began to turn, and by the tenth day it had become kefir, but remained consumable and fine. The key point was that milk which had never been chilled retained a property that allowed nerves to regenerate. Once milk was chilled, that property was destroyed.

The same principle applied to meat. Once meat had been frozen, it lost its ability to support the cellular reproduction of nerve cells. Every other type of cell could still be supported by frozen meat, but with limited capacity compared to fresh meat. Aajonus described a controlled animal experiment in which the same meat was divided, half kept fresh and half frozen, and fed to two groups of animals. The animals eating frozen meat did not regenerate nerve tissue as the fresh-meat group did.

The neurological system operates through the conduction of electricity and the reflection of light. Both of these processes depend on metallic minerals. Every food contains trace amounts of metallic minerals, including arsenic, lead, aluminum, mercury, cadmium, zinc, and iodine, and in their natural, ionically bonded state these minerals serve the nervous system by enabling its electrical and photonic operations. The neurological fluid itself is described as full of metals and the fluids that transport them.

The brain is composed of approximately 60 to 80 percent fat. The myelin sheath, which coats the nerves, is also approximately 60 percent fat. Because the body stores its poisons wherever fat concentrations are highest, the brain and nervous system become the primary repository for heavy metal toxins derived from cooked food, environmental pollution, and medical interventions. This is why, according to Aajonus, humans have the largest brains on the planet: not because of intelligence, but because of toxin accumulation. The brain in this framework is partly a storage organ for heavy metals that would otherwise cause more immediate and diffuse damage throughout the body.

The neurological fluid does not, under healthy conditions, transport nutrients. Its job is the transmission of information. In toxic bodies, when the lymphatic system becomes overloaded and unable to deliver nutrients to cells, the neurological fluid may be pressed into service as a nutrient transport medium, but this is a compensatory dysfunction, not a designed function.

When glycogen levels are high because of excessive carbohydrate consumption, the neurological fluids become sticky. In this state, synaptic firing becomes erratic. Signals from neurons and axons and ganglia during synapse firing can skid or adhere to the walls of axons or ganglia, causing signals to go in the wrong direction. This produces poor thinking, confusion, and impaired cognitive function.

Mercury is described as the most lethal neurotoxin known to the nervous system of any animal. Aajonus referenced extensively the work done at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Medicine, also referred to as Alberta University in some passages, which produced a video showing neurons growing in a tissue culture. When a two percent solution of thimerosal, the liquid mercury used in vaccines, was introduced into the culture medium, the neurons began dissolving and disappearing rapidly. The video documented this with time-lapse photography.

The mechanism described in detail involves tubulin proteins, which normally link together end-to-end during cell growth to form microtubules that support the neurite structure. Mercury ions, when introduced into the culture medium, infiltrate the cell and bind to newly synthesized tubulin, blocking the GTP binding that normally allows tubulin molecules to attach to one another. Without this energy provision, the neurite microtubules begin to disassemble. The result is that both the developing neurite membrane and the denuded neurofibrils form aggregates or tangles. Over thirty minutes following a twenty-minute exposure to very low concentrations of mercury, the neurite membrane underwent rapid degeneration. Importantly, other heavy metals tested at the same concentration, including aluminum, lead, cadmium, and manganese, did not produce this effect. Mercury was uniquely destructive to neurite structure.

Aajonus further described that even mercury vapor, without direct contact, destroys neurons. He cited a 1997 team of research scientists who demonstrated that mercury vapor inhalation by animals produced a molecular lesion in brain protein metabolism similar to a lesion seen in 80 percent of Alzheimer's diseased brains. He connected this to historical exposures from coal-burning heating systems, where coal contains mercury vapor that travels directly into the brain and nervous system through inhalation.

The thimerosal in vaccines was presented as delivering approximately 76,000 trillion molecules of mercury per injection, and in 96 percent of vaccines manufactured. Children in Illinois, by his account, were receiving something like 128 vaccines by age sixteen. Of the mercury introduced through vaccine injection, laboratory tests found that only 7 percent was expelled through the urinary tract and 24 percent through other routes within the first 24 hours, leaving the remainder stored in the body. Mercury, in Aajonus's framework, fragments neuron cells specifically, and this fragmentation is the mechanism behind conditions ranging from autism to Alzheimer's disease.

He contrasted this vaccine-derived mercury exposure to the mercury found in fish, stating that the mercury in fish is not even a fraction of a hundredth of a percent of what is delivered in a single vaccine. The alarm raised by conventional medicine about mercury in fish was, in his view, misdirection away from the far larger pharmaceutical source.

When food is cooked, the ionic bonds that hold metallic minerals in a balanced, useful relationship with other nutrients are broken. The minerals become free radicals. These free radical metallic minerals accumulate preferentially in the brain and nervous system because of the fat concentrations there. In this state, the minerals are damaging rather than functional. Instead of conducting electricity and transporting light in the service of neurological communication, they interfere with cell division, disrupt the chemistry necessary for nerve tissue reproduction, and contribute to the general toxicity that prevents neurological cells from regenerating.

Aajonus described cooked food as creating a situation in which "nerve cells and neurons cannot divide." The mechanism of cellular reproduction for all animal cells is division: a cell grows, divides into two identical cells, those cells grow, and divide again. This process, he stated, requires raw food chemistry. The toxicity and altered chemistry produced by cooking block this process specifically in nerve cells and neurons, even though other cell types may manage limited reproduction even on a cooked-food diet.

Lidocaine, a dental and surgical anesthetic, was identified by Aajonus as a specific pharmaceutical threat to nerve cells. Because Lidocaine is produced to enter and alter nerve cells, it carries sugar into those cells. Processed sugar is an acidic compound that even in resilient tissue gradually dissolves structures. When sugar is carried into nerve tissue by Lidocaine, nerve destruction occurs.

When the body cannot remove Lidocaine, it attempts to neutralize the molecules by surrounding them with concentrations of minerals. This mineral deposition hardens the nerves and surrounding tissue, often causing permanent mild to severe sensory loss. Lidocaine and sugar do not carry toxins out of tissue, as is sometimes claimed. They introduce toxins, and the body's mineral-deposit response hardens and damages the nerve tissue. Aajonus described seeing several cases of this end in joint replacement because pain that was being masked by Lidocaine was actually the body's signal of progressive damage that went unaddressed.

When the body lacks sufficient dietary fat, it uses bile, normally a digestive substance designed to break down fats, as a substitute binding agent for toxins throughout the body. Bile in this context is caustic. Its normal function is to reduce fat to its smallest molecule for dispersion and utilization throughout tissues, including inside cells and inside nerve tissue. When bile is circulating throughout the body in the absence of adequate dietary fat, it eats away at tissue, including nerve tissue.

This bile-induced nerve destruction was presented as a root cause of nerve pain. In one exchange about herpes and nerve pain, Aajonus stated that the nerve pain and the herpes were produced by the same underlying cause: bile destroying nerve cells. The solution was eating the proper fats so the body had no need to deploy bile throughout the system as a toxin binder.

In Aajonus's framework, viruses are not organisms. They are solvents, produced by the body's own cells to dissolve specific types of damaged or contaminated tissue. In the context of nerve tissue, viruses that target neural structures are produced to dissolve decaying nerve tissue that has become contaminated with metallic poisons. A given virus is specific to one particular component of tissue: there are approximately 300,000 varieties of virus for a single cell type alone, each targeted at dissolving one specific part of that cell.

In the case of herpes, the nerve endings are using a virus to break down metallic toxins that have accumulated in nerve tissue from cooked food. The swelling in nerve tissue during an active herpes outbreak is extensive because the tissue is loaded with metallic poisons that became free radicals from cooking. The swelling itself is extremely painful in nerve tissue. The viral process creates edema that dilutes the concentrated metal poisoning, reducing the damage to the nerve. The virus concentrates the metal poisoning into a small, compact substance so that it can be cleared, while the edema dilutes the surrounding concentration. In this framework the virus is part of the process that precedes healing, not the cause of disease. The actual damage is the toxicity; the virus is the cleanup mechanism.

Polio was addressed in this same framework. The polio virus was used by the body to clean the nervous system, dissolving decaying nerve tissue in the spinal cord and meningi. The epidemic of the 1950s was connected to the mass introduction of canned food, which delivered tin and other metallic minerals into the body at unprecedented levels. The brain and nervous system, as the primary repositories of metallic minerals, received these toxins heavily. By 1958, the human body had adapted to store metals in the spinal cord, creating so much contamination there that the normal bacterial and parasitic cleaning processes could not function in nerve tissue. Because polio is a virus and not a live organism, the body deployed it in place of bacteria and parasites to dissolve the contamination. Viral meningitis was described as more medically alarming than bacterial meningitis precisely because without bacteria eating waste and reducing content, you have solvents dissolving tissue without the modulating action of living organisms.

Aajonus acknowledged that nerve regeneration has limits. He stated that nerves that have been cut and have turned into hardened scar tissue over a very long period are not ones he has seen reattach or regrow. He used his own case as an example: his vagus nerve was severed during surgery, and he had not seen nerves cut that long ago successfully regenerate. He noted that fracture nerve cuts, where the nerve is not cleanly severed but damaged in a fracture-type injury, can and do regrow successfully. The distinction was between clean, old, hardened scar tissue cuts and more recent or partial nerve damage. He allowed that over the next ten to fifteen years this might change for his own body given how long he had been on the diet, but he did not claim certainty.

Scar tissue in general is described as dead cells the body did not dissolve and discard but instead mummified for structural use, like bricks in a wall, when it was unable to reproduce cells quickly enough to heal properly. In nerve tissue, when this mummification is extensive and old, the conditions for cellular division and regeneration become very difficult to establish.

The meningi, the layered skin surrounding the brain and nervous system, contains nerves and exists in up to eleven layers around the brain. Each layer has specific tissue composition. The neurons of the brain itself have no nerves and register no pain. Viruses that clean neural tissue are highly specific: a single virus may target just one percent of one layer of the meningi. Even this limited activity creates ill reactions including headaches and mucous membrane discharge as the body detoxifies through available exit routes.

The meningi being the only location in the brain-area where nerves exist explains why brain surgery can be performed on a conscious patient without pain medication. The neurons conduct information as electrical and chemical impulses and do not signal pain. All the pain associated with the brain area comes from the meningi.

Aajonus referenced the work of Elnora Van Winkle, a neurological scientist who spent approximately 47 to 48 years at Milhouser Laboratories at New York City Medical Center cataloging every nutrient, compound, and chemical making up the nervous system including the brain. Her research found that during trauma, the body builds specific neurological hormones, and these hormones leave waste products behind. These waste products accumulate in the nervous system and, according to Van Winkle's findings and Aajonus's reading of her work, are responsible for non-contextual emotional upsets, emotional reactions that have no obvious present-day cause but are actually the residue of old chemical events stored in nerve tissue. He directed people to her paper "The Biology of Emotion" for both a full scientific version with all neurological terminology and a simplified version for laypeople.

Salt in any isolated form, including sea salt and Celtic salt, causes disruption to cellular function throughout the body, including in nerve cells. One grain of table salt will destroy one million red blood cells by reversing the ionic field at the cell membrane, causing the cell's internal ions to be pulled outward rather than attracting nutrients inward. The cell then shrivels and can never eat again. In the neurological system, when cooked food has already fractionated all electrolyte bonds so that nutrients carry only electromagnetic properties, introducing salt further disrupts the system. The result is that cells in nerve tissue, like cells elsewhere, are starved and die.

High carbohydrate intake produces glycogen that makes neurological fluids sticky, impairing synapse firing. The combination of salt, cooked-food free radicals, and high carbohydrate stickiness in the neurological fluid creates a state where neurons misfiring and nerve cells dying from starvation become cumulative chronic conditions rather than acute events.
