Streptococcus

Aajonus stated directly that warming weather marks the season for throat detoxifications. When a child or adult develops what is diagnosed as strep throat during these periods, he interpreted it as the body choosing to detoxify the neck area at the throat. The streptococcal bacteria are present because the body has called them into service to break down and eliminate accumulated toxins in that tissue. The bacteria did not arrive from an infected person and take hold; rather, the body generated or activated the bacterial process in response to a cellular need.

This distinction carries practical implications. If children come into contact with a friend who has strep throat, Aajonus said they may or may not develop it themselves, and the determining factor is whether their own bodies need to undergo a throat detoxification at that time, not whether strep was transmitted to them. Exposure to another person with strep does not cause strep in a person whose body does not need that cleansing process.

The assertion that strep is not contagious is one of the clearest statements Aajonus made in these passages. He extended this reasoning across bacteria generally, explaining that the premise of bacterial contagion requires a small number of foreign bacteria to enter a body already composed of hundreds of millions of bacterial varieties and somehow overwhelm it. Given that researchers Aajonus cited had found figures ranging from 150 to 360 bacterial genes per every single human gene, and that the body is 99 to 99.5 percent bacterial by some estimates, the idea that a handful of streptococcal bacteria arriving from a sick person could commandeer such a system was, in his words, "sheer nonsense."

He also noted that even if bacteria from another person entered the body through saliva, the salivary enzymes would begin breaking them down immediately, and hydrochloric acid in the stomach would destroy them further. Bacteria entering through normal contact would face overwhelming odds against establishing any kind of foreign colony. Injection was the one pathway he acknowledged where foreign bacteria could theoretically enter and persist, but that is a medical or industrial act, not a natural transmission event.

A recurring argument Aajonus made about all allegedly pathogenic bacteria, applicable equally to streptococcus, is that the evidence for their disease-causing nature comes exclusively from laboratory conditions that are entirely foreign to what occurs inside a living body. When pharmaceutical and medical researchers place animal or human cells in a petri dish and introduce streptococcus or any other bacteria, those cells are already in a foreign environment without the full chemistry of a living organism. Cells in a petri dish are on their way to dying, and they die rapidly. The bacteria, finding dead and dying cellular material in that solution, eat it. Researchers then observe the bacteria consuming cells and declare that they are destroying healthy tissue, but the cells were never healthy in that environment to begin with. This is the mechanism by which streptococcus and all other janitorial bacteria have been falsely classified as pathogens.

Aajonus provided a specific treatment protocol for strep throat when it occurs, as well as a preventive approach. He gave exact quantities and ingredient combinations.

To prevent strep from developing, or to reduce the likelihood that the body will need to detoxify through the throat, he recommended applying hot water bottles to the neck each night for approximately nine days. This external heat application causes the person to perspire the toxins out through the skin of the neck, addressing the toxic accumulation that would otherwise drive the body to initiate a throat detoxification using streptococcal bacteria. If the toxins are eliminated through perspiration via this method, the throat detox may not become necessary at all.

If strep throat does occur despite this, the treatment he recommended is a specific mixture to be consumed at a dose of one tablespoon every two hours, continuing until the throat detoxification is finished. The formula is: two ounces of lime juice, one teaspoon of lemon juice, three tablespoons of unheated honey, one-half teaspoon of raw apple cider vinegar, two tablespoons of coconut cream, and two tablespoons of raw dairy cream. These ingredients are combined and the mixture is taken by the tablespoon on that two-hour schedule throughout the detoxification period.

Aajonus placed streptococcus explicitly within his broader framework of bacterial janitorial function. In a workshop transcript, he listed strep alongside campylobacter and other bacteria as examples of organisms introduced into petri dishes during pharmaceutical research, observed consuming dead cells in an artificial environment, and then labeled pathogenic on that basis. He said the body uses these organisms precisely when tissue has been damaged or is toxic and needs to be broken down and eliminated.

The bacteria do not create the cellular damage they are found consuming. The damage was created by industrial toxins, cooked food byproducts, chemical exposures, or other insults to the tissue. Streptococcus arrives, or is activated, to perform the demolition and recycling work that allows the body to replace damaged tissue with healthy cells. Blaming streptococcus for the condition it is trying to resolve is, in Aajonus's framing, equivalent to blaming janitors for the mess they were hired to clean.

Aajonus's position on antibiotics applied directly to strep throat treatment. He opposed their use categorically in this context. Antibiotics kill bacteria indiscriminately and destroy the janitorial workforce the body is depending on to complete the detoxification. One five-day course of antibiotics, in his estimation, destroys one percent of the entire body's bacterial function. Using antibiotics against strep therefore interrupts a necessary biological process, eliminates essential bacteria throughout the whole body, and leaves the underlying toxic accumulation unresolved, setting the stage for future detoxification cycles to become necessary again.

He documented cases where patients refused antibiotic treatment for bacterial infections and recovered through dietary and topical means instead. The medical profession's insistence on antibiotics for strep throat reflects, in his framework, an industry committed to the bacterial disease paradigm rather than to understanding the ecological role bacteria actually play.

Streptococcus sits within a paradigm Aajonus described as deliberately constructed and financially motivated. The pharmaceutical and medical industries require an enemy that justifies the sale of drugs, and bacteria serve that role. The extensive scientific and institutional language built around bacterial pathogens like streptococcus is, in his view, comparable to the elaborate theological frameworks constructed during the Inquisition to convince people that invisible forces were attacking them. The sophistication of the language does not make it scientifically accurate; it makes it persuasive. The underlying claim, that a few bacteria entering the body cause the body to become diseased, he found biologically indefensible given what is actually known about the bacterial composition of the human body.

He noted that the CDC and public health agencies, when pressed for scientific case data on specific bacteria, produce reports built on survey methodology rather than laboratory science. A person becomes ill, the health department calls and asks what they ate or who they contacted, the person mentions a sick friend with strep or a food eaten recently, and that contact or food is automatically recorded as the cause. No controlled laboratory process confirms the causal chain. This is the level of evidence on which the contagious pathogen model of strep rests.
