Spinal Cord

The spinal cord functions as part of a fluid network that Aajonus described as the thinnest of the body's three circulatory systems, thinner even than egg white in parts. This neurological fluid transmits light and electricity, and it is the medium through which the brain communicates with every voluntary and involuntary movement. Because the medium depends on metallic minerals for conductivity, those minerals are present throughout the spinal cord and brain in trace amounts under healthy conditions. When industrial or pharmaceutical metals accumulate in this fluid and in the tissue surrounding it, the tissue cannot perform its communicative function, and the body's normal cleaning agents, bacteria, parasites, and fungus, cannot operate there without also destroying functional tissue.

This is why the body developed a secondary cleaning mechanism in the form of viruses, which Aajonus described consistently as not alive, as solvents and protein bodies that dissolve accumulated debris the way muriatic acid dissolves mineral deposits. The problem with viral cleaning of the spinal cord is that the solvent activity produces swelling, and swelling inside the confined space of the spinal canal can fracture axons, ganglia, and the branches of the neural network, causing paralysis that would not have occurred if the cleaning process had been bacterial rather than viral.

Polio, in Aajonus's analysis, is a viral detoxification of the spinal cord tissue, not a primary disease. The tissue being cleansed had already been damaged and partially destroyed by metal contamination, primarily from canned food and from vaccine adjuvants. The metals dissolved the spinal cord tissue, and the polio process, meaning the viral solvent activity along with poliomyelitis debris, was the body's response to remove the dead and contaminated tissue.

Aajonus traced the particular epidemic pattern of polio in the mid-1950s to the widespread adoption of canned food, which introduced metals directly into the system where they migrated to the spinal cord. He stated: "The canned food was poisoning the spinal cord. It was the canned food. It wasn't poliomyelitis. It was the canned food deteriorating the spinal cord." The poliomyelitis was the cure.

He also described a developmental shift in how the body stored these metals. Before 1958, the body had adapted to storing incoming metals in the brain to keep them out of the spinal cord. By 1958, accumulated contamination was so severe that the body began storing the metals in the spinal cord instead, and the resulting spinal tissue contamination was too dense for bacteria, parasites, or fungus to address. The body therefore turned to viral solvents, and that is when polio appeared as a mass phenomenon.

To establish this analysis, Aajonus acquired scar tissue from people who had experienced polio in the early 1950s. He noted that scar tissue is dead cells the body did not dissolve but mummified to use structurally, and that if the cells did not die natural deaths, the dead cells usually contain the agent that killed them. The scar tissue of polio patients contained the metals that had destroyed the spinal cord cells.

He observed directly that patients receiving massive medication including antibiotics fared worse. He watched bacterial levels drop throughout the body of a hospitalized patient who weakened and deteriorated daily while another patient, cared for at home on a raw diet of mainly raw meats and raw dairy, improved every day. The second patient's poliomyelitis ran its full cleaning course in six weeks, with another four weeks to heal to functional movement. Bacteria levels were high throughout her body during recovery, and the higher the bacteria and the more abundant the poliomyelitis debris in the blood, the greater her improvement.

The people who became permanently crippled from polio were disproportionately from affluent families, because affluent families had greater access to doctors, more vaccines, and more aggressive medical intervention. The antibiotics administered during the viral cleaning process caused additional swelling and dissolved neurological tissue further, producing the permanent paralysis that was then attributed to the disease rather than to the treatment.

The question of whether paralysis from polio is reversible depends, in Aajonus's view, on how much medical treatment was administered. The more antibiotics lowered the active poliomyelitis and bacterial activity, the more the healing stopped and paralysis set in. People who had more active myelitis in the body healed more. Once that activity was suppressed pharmacologically, regeneration ceased.

Spinal meningitis was described by Aajonus as "a massive detox" and one of the most difficult and aggressive cleaning processes the body undertakes. He had it four times in his own life, all as a consequence of the damage his spine had sustained from radiation therapy, which created bone cancer and solidified the spinal tissue. He described spinal meningitis as a bacterial-viral process that is extremely aggressive and that doctors treat as a near-death emergency with a 60 to 70 percent mortality claim, largely because the medical treatments themselves cause much of the fatal outcome.

He distinguished between bacterial and viral spinal meningitis in terms of what the body is doing and what the consequences of each form are. In bacterial meningitis, bacteria eat the waste material and reduce its content, which means there is less overall volume of debris being processed at any given moment. Swelling is minimal. Doctors are less alarmed. In viral meningitis of the spine, the body is using solvents instead of biological agents, and the solvent action dissolves waste into a fluid medium. The analogy Aajonus used was cleaning a cement floor with muriatic acid diluted in water: rather than reducing the poison, you magnify it because you now have the solvent plus all the dissolved waste together in a concentrated fluid. The result is tremendous swelling, and the swelling in the confined space of the spinal canal will fracture neural branches and cause paralysis.

He described the swelling in viral spinal meningitis as so dangerous that doctors panic, whereas bacterial meningitis produces almost negligible risk of rupture in the spine or brain. With bacterial meningitis, the chance of pre-paralysis or rupture is close to negligible. With viral meningitis, the chances of paralysis are predominant even without intervention, but are made dramatically worse by intravenous fluids, antibiotics, and other treatments that dehydrate the tissue while adding more swelling agents and that prevent the natural cleaning from completing.

Despite the severity of spinal meningitis as a detox, Aajonus treated his own episodes without hospitalization and described the outcome as healing the spine progressively over time. He stated that he got rid of 70 percent of the damage off his spine by going through spinal meningitis. The process left the spine weak for a period but ultimately allowed regeneration that no other mechanism could accomplish. He used towels to manage the secretion process and emphasized that the body would route toxins out through any available surface: the skin, mucus membranes, bowels, urinary tract, sinuses, and throat.

When viral meningitis affects the spine and conventional treatment is applied, the sequence of events Aajonus described proceeds as follows. The body is already producing massive swelling as part of the viral solvent process. Antibiotics are administered, which in a viral situation are useless against any organism because viruses are not organisms, but they also produce additional swelling as a side effect. Intravenous fluids are added, which can reduce swelling in the short term but do not correct the underlying problem and do nothing to support the nervous system or spinal cord. As total swelling exceeds the tolerance of the spinal canal, neural branches and networks begin fracturing under pressure. The fracturing of axons, ganglia, and branches throughout the spinal cord network produces the paralysis and, in severe cases, coma.

Before pharmaceutical intervention was available, the conventional management of viral meningitis was packing patients in ice to reduce swelling. Aajonus stated this was the worst possible thing to do: "No ice on any swelling. The body has that swelling to increase circulation to bring massive amounts of" nutrients and cleaning agents to the affected area. Packing in ice suppressed the swelling and reduced the immediate tearing risk but left the spinal cord weak and degenerating because the cleansing was not completed. The spinal tissue lost the cleaning activity it needed, and the tissue deteriorated over the following years without the patient or doctor understanding why.

The most detailed account in the source material concerns Aajonus's own spinal damage from radiation therapy administered during a ten-week course of treatment targeting a tumorous incision that had developed after surgery. The radiation was delivered in sweeping passes that returned repeatedly to a pinpoint location on his spine. He described the beam going back and forth for full sessions of two to three minutes, on for fifteen seconds, off for fifteen seconds, cauterizing the same point on his spine with each pass. The cumulative effect was that two-thirds of his spinal cord was cauterized, and the surrounding vertebral tissue was transformed from malleable living material into a hardened, rocklike mass with no flexibility.

He used the clay firing metaphor consistently: malleable clay placed in a kiln at cone nine or cone ten becomes solid rock. Any movement of vertebrae against that solidified tissue would pinch, cut, and lacerate the nerves. The cauterization extended from approximately the waist region upward through the mid and upper back. The sciatic nerve, which branches from the lower spine and runs down through the thighs and legs to the feet, transmitted pain throughout the entire lower body. He described pain in his knees, thighs, and spine, with sciatic pain running all the way to his feet, every time he moved.

He was rendered incapable of sitting in a chair without five to ten minutes of agonizing incremental effort. Lying on a soft bed or couch was impossible because any give in the surface produced movement that caused pinching. He lived on hardwood floors, slept in ten-minute intervals before being woken by pain, and for a year and a half crawled on his elbows to move through his home. He was unable to make it to the bathroom reliably, defecating and urinating as he crawled, with plastic sheeting throughout the living area. He was suicidal during this period, as he stated directly, because the inability to sleep combined with constant severe pain left him without any means of rest or relief.

The radiation that cauterized his spine also gave him blood and bone cancer, multiple myeloma. Chemotherapy followed, which rendered him effectively crippled from the pectorals downward: any attempt at movement triggered immediate charley horse cramps lasting ten to fifteen minutes, during which he would pass out from pain.

He identified twelve years of back pain from the combined chemo and radiation damage before he was satisfied with his spinal health. During those twelve years he progressed from needing chiropractic adjustments twice daily to eventually needing only one adjustment per year for the last four years before reporting that progress. He described the healing as happening through diet, hot baths, yoga, and the repeated spinal meningitis episodes that progressively dissolved and removed the damage.

Beyond radiation and medical treatment, Aajonus identified several other causes of spinal cord contamination and deterioration.

Vaccine-derived heavy metals were described as one of the primary sources of metal contamination in the spinal cord, particularly mercury. These metals embed in spinal tissue and degenerate it over time, reaching concentrations that trigger the body to initiate viral cleaning.

Canned food metals were specifically named as the cause of the polio epidemic. The metals from canned food processing leached into the food and entered the bloodstream, migrating to the spinal cord where they dissolved tissue.

Vegetarianism was identified as a slow but consistent cause of spinal degeneration. Of approximately 2,400 vegetarians Aajonus knew over his years of practice, all eight who did reasonably well in their earlier years eventually developed spinal problems. One of those eight experienced complete disappearance of the spinal cord within one year. The rest developed severe spinal problems in their later decades. He attributed this to the absence of sufficient minerals and proteins to hold minerals into bone structure, causing progressive bone dissolution. The 82-year-old man who was the last case he reported could not move without severe pain.

One vegetarian case he described specifically: "One completely spinal cord just disappeared in one year." This was among the group of eight who had done relatively well compared to the broader population of vegetarians he observed.

Electromagnetic fields from computers, including laptops and towers, were described as damaging to the surrounding tissues depending on proximity. He noted that a computer tower emitting 125 to 200 gauss needs to be more than three feet away to avoid affecting the body, and that closer proximity affects shoulders, ribs, breasts, and hip joints in ways related to weakening of structural support.

The foundational dietary recommendation for spinal healing throughout the source material is raw meat, including raw fish and raw fowl, combined with raw fat, particularly butter and cream. Aajonus stated that eating lots of butter and cream with meat is very important for cleansing and healing the spine. Raw meat helps to relax tension and discomfort and to rebuild spinal tissue directly.

For scoliosis specifically, he recommended a moisturizing lubrication formula and cheese and honey together four times a day, with milk as one of the most important foods for the condition. He stated these recommendations apply even for someone who will not eat land meat, as long as they eat fish.

For spinal problems arising from vegetarianism and mineral deficiency, the implication throughout his discussion is that the body needs the full spectrum of minerals and proteins available only in raw animal foods to maintain the structural integrity of bone and the connective tissue surrounding the spinal cord.

He described eating raw eggs, raw dairy, and raw meats throughout his own recovery period, and the gradual improvement in his spine over years and decades reflects the timeline he gave for serious spinal cord damage: it can take many years because bone cells have a long replacement cycle, and circulation in damaged areas must be restored before nutrients can reach the tissue.

Aajonus was consistently specific about heat application to the spine. Hot water bottles applied to the spine at any time, especially while sleeping, increase relaxation in the surrounding muscles and tendons, which relieves pressure on the nerves passing through the vertebrae and allows more nutrients to be delivered to the area for detoxification and healing. He recommended this practice for ongoing spinal maintenance as well as during acute detoxification episodes.

During a detoxification event affecting the left side of the spine with suspected metal poisoning, he advised using a hot water bottle specifically at that time, with the note that the sciatica-like symptoms produced when that region begins detoxing will resolve as the cleansing completes.

He explicitly prohibited cold treatment on any swelling, including spinal swelling. The conventional practice of packing patients in ice was identified as one of the most damaging responses to spinal inflammation because it suppresses the circulation that the body increased intentionally to clean and repair the area. Cold applications reduce swelling mechanically but prevent the underlying process from completing, leaving the spinal cord weaker and more degenerate than it would have been.

For acute back pain from the spine, he described soaking in a hot bath for up to an hour as a way to relax the back, and noted that soaking for up to eight hours helps discharge electricity from back pain into the water rather than allowing that electrical charge to migrate into the brain.

Aajonus described two yoga postures as specifically helpful for the spine throughout his recovery and ongoing maintenance. The plow involves lying on the back, raising the legs, buttocks, and back into the air, and then either bringing the knees to the ears or placing the toes on the floor behind the head. The spinal twist can be performed while lying on a bed or floor: lying on the right side of the body with the right leg completely stretched and straight, bending the left leg at the knee, moving the left foot to press flat against the right shin just below the right knee, then moving the left shoulder and arm behind the back, twisting the shoulder backward, while trying to keep the left knee pressing onto the surface.

He recommended attempting these postures two to five times daily, always after applying hot water bottles to painful areas for thirty minutes or after thirty minutes in a hot bath. The pre-heating is necessary because the postures need to be attempted on warm, relaxed tissue. He performed these postures every hour to hour and a half during his years of severe spinal pain, describing how getting into the plow and spinal twist would allow him to reduce acute pain within fifteen minutes and function through another interval before the pain returned.

He also described how being in a bathtub of warm water made the body buoyant, alleviating approximately 80 percent of back pain by removing gravitational pressure on the spine, and that getting out of the bath immediately into yoga stretches compounded the relief because the tissue was maximally relaxed from the heat.

Aajonus included chiropractic care as useful for the spine but was specific about its limitations and the conditions under which it works. A chiropractic adjustment can place bones in their joints properly so that nerves are not pinched and circulation flows more easily. Pinched nerves can cause anything from indigestion to impotency. In youth, pinched nerves from spinal misalignment can cause spinal compression and scoliosis.

However, he noted that an adjustment will not hold if the surrounding tissue is not relaxed and expanded enough to keep the vertebrae in place. If the muscles are tight and the tendons shortened, the vertebra will be back out of alignment within ten minutes to an hour. The solution is to ensure that everything is stretched out and loose before and after adjustment so the correction can hold.

He was critical of the electromagnetic treatments and electrical stimulation used by some chiropractors, stating that electromagnetic fields damage cellular structure and that heat from those devices bruises the tissue. His preferred preparation was the natural heat of hot water bottles and hot baths, followed by gentle stretching.

His own progression was from twice-daily chiropractic adjustments during the worst years of his radiation-damaged spine to once annually in the four years before the time he reported this.

Aajonus was strongly opposed to spinal surgery, particularly in any situation where radioactive material or implanted compounds were located near or on the spinal cord. His reasoning was that cutting into that area could release contained toxic material into the cerebrospinal fluid or surrounding tissue, with potentially catastrophic consequences including permanent paralysis or coma. He stated: "I've seen too many surgeries end in people being crippled or in a coma for the rest of their lives. Spinal cord, not good."

He described the specific risk of a situation where radioactive material was lodged very close to the spinal cord: allowing the body to perspire and slowly eliminate the material over time was preferable to surgical removal, because the act of cutting could release the material into nearby fluid and cause paralysis. He acknowledged this as genuinely dangerous territory but considered the surgical option more dangerous than the prolonged detoxification route.

For conditions described as a traumatic cord irritation, he referenced the cord getting irritated rather than choked, without recommending surgery.

Aajonus described multiple episodes during his own healing process when communication between his brain and his lower body ceased entirely, ranging from one day to four days at a time when he could not move his lower body at all. He described the sensation as having no communication between the brain and the legs and feet, with efforts to move producing nothing. He did not panic during these episodes, identifying them as part of the detoxification and regeneration process, during which the neurological network was simultaneously decomposing degenerate tissue and rebuilding functional tissue. He noted that in serious neurological damage, detox and regeneration often occur simultaneously, because a complete sequential process, all detox first and then regeneration, would allow the whole body to shut down.

He framed paralysis in general terms as any break in the flow of neurological transmissions from the brain to the body, whether caused by physical damage, toxic disruption, or swelling-induced pressure. The key variable in recovery is whether the neural tissue itself has been scarred by medical treatment. If scar tissue forms in the spinal cord rather than normal cell regeneration, partial permanent paralysis is the likely outcome. This is why the presence of active bacterial cleaning agents is so important: without them, the body cannot clear the debris and regenerate properly, and instead mummifies the dead tissue into scar.

For someone with serious spinal damage who has not received significant medical suppression of their detoxification processes, the healing timeline Aajonus described from his own case is measured in decades for full resolution, though significant improvements occur throughout. His spine began regenerating within the first years on raw food, and he described progressive milestones: at one recovery point he could touch his shins, ten years later he could put his palms flat to the floor without bending his knees. The lower lumbar region, which he described as the area that never completely healed from his spinal meningitis, was still undergoing active detoxification as recently as the period when he described noticing renewed soreness during physical exertion, with pain beginning after approximately thirty minutes of activity and gradually intensifying, signaling a new round of cleansing.
