Suppositories
Rectal delivery of raw butter, cream, and coconut cream bypasses upstream digestion and feeds E. coli colonies directly in the colon. Those colonies then supply the brain and nervous system with fats and B vitamins lasting seven to fourteen days per application.
Aajonus Vonderplanitz recommended rectal fat suppositories as one of the most reliable and durable tools for nourishing the brain and nervous system, restoring bacterial colonies in the colon, and resolving chronic constipation. His understanding of why suppositories work is grounded in his reading of how the bowel feeds the brain. In the final stage of digestion, E. coli bacteria in the colon break down fecal matter into finite molecules small enough to pass through the fine veins and arteries serving the brain and nervous system. When someone has been eating cooked food for years, or has suffered antibiotics, colonics, or enemas, those bacterial colonies are depleted or destroyed, and the brain and nervous system are left with inferior leftovers or nothing at all. Depression, psychological instability, and systemic deterioration follow. The suppository bypasses the entire upstream digestive process and delivers fresh fats directly to the colon where E. coli can use them immediately.
Aajonus contrasted the suppository with high meat as two ways of achieving the same outcome: feeding the nervous system from the back end when the front end cannot do the job adequately. His stated position was that suppositories last longer than high meat. High meat, he said, produces benefits lasting roughly four to five days, while a suppository typically produces results that last a minimum of seven days, and often as long as two weeks, depending on how deficient the nervous system is at the time. Despite this, he observed that roughly 70 percent of the people he gave both options to chose the high meat over the suppository, something he found puzzling given that, from his perspective, putting cream and butter in the rectum before sleep is a considerably easier experience than eating aged rotten meat wearing a nose clip.
The suppository is not a pharmaceutical laxative, not an enema, and not a colonic. Aajonus was emphatic that pharmaceutical suppositories, enemas, and colonics all damage the very thing the body is trying to protect. They wash out the bacteria, dehydrate the colon, isolate it from its normal bacterial environment, and set the person up for worsening constipation, dependency, and depression. By contrast, his fat suppository feeds the bacteria and lubricates the sigmoid colon simultaneously, solving both the bacterial deficiency and the mechanical dryness without disturbing peristalsis.
The Standard Formula
The formula Aajonus described most consistently across workshops and written materials is:
Three tablespoons of raw butter, three tablespoons of raw coconut cream, and three tablespoons of raw dairy cream, combined with one quarter teaspoon of honey.
He specified the honey at one quarter teaspoon consistently, sometimes describing it as approximately the size of a bean. The function of the honey is to provide enzymes that may be missing from the depleted colon, helping break down the fat into usable particles. The quantity is kept very small because the point is enzymatic support, not sweetness or sugar delivery.
He occasionally referenced a slightly different version with two tablespoons each of the three fats rather than three, particularly when addressing constipation alongside cottage cheese consumption, but the three-tablespoon version appears throughout his workshops as the standard protocol.
In one written answer to a patient, Aajonus specified that if Terramin clay is being consumed to pull toxins and constipation results from that clay, the corrective suppository should use three tablespoons each of raw butter, raw cream, and raw coconut cream, administered every few days as needed.
Preparation Method
The mixture is placed in a four-ounce jelly jar. Aajonus recommended shaking it to combine the ingredients, then immersing the jar in a bowl of hot water. The water should be hot enough to make the hand uncomfortable but not hot enough to burn the hand after six or seven seconds of contact. The jar stays in the hot water for approximately three to four minutes until the mixture reaches a temperature of roughly 103 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. The target temperature is slightly above body temperature, enough to keep the fats fluid and easy to deliver, warm enough to be compatible with rectal tissue, and not so hot as to damage bacteria or tissue.
The liquid is then drawn up into a bulb syringe. Aajonus recommended four-ounce bulb syringes and noted that CARO Medical Supplies (spelled C-A-R-O) carries them, listed on page nine of his product list. He acknowledged that four-ounce syringes had become difficult to find in recent years and that eight-ounce syringes were being sold by the same supplier in their place. He described the technique for avoiding air injection: because squeezing the bulb makes it air-deficient, releasing it will draw in fluid rather than air, so the user fills the syringe by releasing it into the mixture rather than trying to pump it in.
Application Technique
The person gets down on all fours. Aajonus described this posture with the phrase "bark like a dog," meaning hands and knees on the floor with the face down. The syringe is inserted into the rectum and the mixture is squeezed in. He noted that the insertion angle can vary depending on the person's flexibility and anatomy, and that yoga practitioners may be able to reach from certain directions more comfortably, while others may need assistance.
He emphasized the importance of not tensing the rectal muscles during insertion. If the sigmoid colon already contains hardened fecal matter, the fluid will not move in easily unless the person consciously relaxes the abdomen and lets the stomach fall. Once the fluid is inside, the person lowers the face and hands flat to the floor while keeping the knees and buttocks elevated, and then rolls the stomach in a slow wave motion, described variously as rolling like a belly dancer or rolling the stomach like billiards. This rolling motion, combined with deep breathing, moves the mixture up from the rectum into the sigmoid colon and further up into the descending colon so that it reaches the E. coli colonies.
The suppository is done immediately before going to sleep. It is left inside overnight and not expelled. The reason for leaving it in is that it is meant to be digested and absorbed, not to stimulate a bowel movement by mechanical pressure or irritation.
What Happens After Application
Once the fat mixture reaches the sigmoid colon, E. coli bacteria begin consuming it rapidly. The fats coat the feces already present, preventing further drying. The water content in the creams keeps the sigmoid colon moist. Excess fat moves further up the colon to protect and partially nourish the E. coli colonies higher in the large intestine.
On the first night, Aajonus said, the body may actually receive slightly fewer nutrients from E. coli activity because the bacteria are initially coated and working through the new fat rather than the fecal matter. But on the following two days and nights, the body receives more than it lost, as the colonies, now fed and strengthened, work more productively. The fats broken down by E. coli are converted into particles small enough to feed the brain and nervous system over the following two days.
The lubricating effect on feces means that what was previously too dry and hard to pass through the rectum comfortably can now move. Aajonus distinguished this dry-hard stool problem from true constipation. True constipation, in his definition, is a complete intestinal block where peristalsis has stopped and every meal causes the abdomen to swell larger because nothing is passing. Dry hard stool without that pattern is simply a fat and bacterial deficiency at the end of the colon, which the suppository addresses directly. He noted that people on raw diets drinking a lot of raw milk sometimes encounter this problem because the bacteria thrive so well on the food that they consume all the fats, leaving nothing to lubricate the final fecal matter.
Frequency of Use
For most people dealing with chronic constipation or nervous system deficiency, Aajonus recommended using the suppository every three days. He stated that this interval is usually sufficient to maintain the colon in a well-lubricated and bacterially supported state. For people with more severe deficiency or specific conditions, he said every three days consistently until resolution, after which frequency could be reduced.
For cases of chronic constipation where someone is also eating cheese and experiencing very dry fecal matter, he recommended continuing the suppository on this schedule and eating cheese throughout the day to pull toxins. A small headache may result if toxins are reabsorbed from the fecal matter sitting in the colon, but eating cheese throughout the day and having the fat mixture present helps manage this.
He also described a scenario where the suppository is used every few days as needed, particularly when Terramin clay consumption produces constipation as a side effect. In the context of a patient who was building up a good constipation management routine, he said the suppository could be used on a one-to-five day cycle depending on how the colon responds.
Frequency And Duration Patterns
One case documented in the workshop transcripts involved an infant who had received a massive dose of antibiotics at birth in the hospital, resulting in chronic constipation. The father reported that the family began using the suppository protocol and continued it approximately every three days for roughly a year before the infant's colon normalized. This case illustrates that in situations where bacterial colonies have been severely damaged from birth, suppository use can be a long-term daily management tool rather than a short-term remedy.
Aajonus also described a general principle for any case where the nervous system is severely deficient: the suppository typically lasts a minimum of seven days in terms of its beneficial effect on mood and neurological function, but the degree of that duration depends on how deficient the person is at the time of application.
Why Colons Hold Stool Normally
A major piece of Aajonus's teaching around suppositories involves correcting the assumption that holding stool in the sigmoid colon is pathological. He explained that the sigmoid colon and descending colon are designed to hold fecal matter for extended periods while E. coli completes the final stages of breaking down proteins and fats into the smallest molecules. This is not malfunction. This is the bowel doing its job of feeding the brain and nervous system. People mistake this process for constipation because they expect a daily bowel movement. As long as the person is not swelling progressively with each meal, food is moving, and the body is simply absorbing everything it can before releasing the feces.
However, this normal retention process becomes problematic when the fecal matter dries out completely and the rectum tears during passage. The suppository is particularly indicated in this situation, which Aajonus said he developed specifically as a protocol in roughly the last two years before the time he described it in workshops, noting it does not appear in his books.
Alternatives Within The Framework
Aajonus described the suppository and high meat as the two main options for feeding the nervous system from outside the normal digestive pathway. He gave both options to patients who needed nervous system support and noted the practical difference: high meat lasts four to five days, suppository lasts a minimum of seven days. Despite the suppository being less unpleasant by his accounting, most people in his experience chose the high meat.
He also mentioned kefir yogurt as an alternative substance some people use rectally to help break down elements in the bowel to a smaller degree, though he did not give specific instructions for this beyond mentioning it as something some people do.
Fresh cream alone, without the full formula, was mentioned as a suppository option for people who cannot digest cream orally. He said some people simply do not have the E. coli to digest cream through the front end, and their intestines are absorbing it all before it reaches the bowel. In these cases, making fresh cream a suppository delivers it directly to the colon without requiring oral digestion, and he said this works wonderfully for people with this profile.
Psychological and Neurological Effects
Aajonus connected the suppository directly to depression and psychological function. His reading is that E. coli in the colon produces massive amounts of B vitamins that calm and soothe the brain and nervous system. When those colonies are low, the brain and nervous system are both fat-starved and B-vitamin-starved. Depression, anxiety, and psychological instability follow. When the suppository delivers fats directly to those depleted colonies, the E. coli activate rapidly, and the person can feel a significant improvement in mood and mental clarity within hours, sometimes reported as feeling great in the morning after an evening application.
He stated that if someone destroys their E. coli through colonics or enemas, it can take 45 to 60, even 90 days to rebuild those colonies. During that entire period, the person will be on the edge of depression or actively depressed. This is why enemas and colonics are, in his view, among the worst things a person prone to depression can do. The fat suppository does not damage the colonies. It feeds them.
Pharmaceutical Suppositories and Colonics Contrasted
Aajonus's position on pharmaceutical suppositories, enemas, and colonics was unequivocal: they make the underlying condition worse. They wash out bacteria, dehydrate the colon, create an unfriendly environment for digestion, and set the person up for dependency on the intervention to produce bowel movements at all. Each time E. coli is flushed, the person loses approximately 60 days of full bacterial function in the colon. People who do enemas every day or every two days are chasing B vitamins and some sense of movement while progressively destroying the bacterial environment that produces those vitamins naturally.
The only situation in which Aajonus suggested something like a flush was in a case of true constipation, defined as a complete block where the abdomen swells progressively with every meal and the fat suppository alone does not break the block. In that case only, he said an enema or an aggressive oral remedy such as olive oil might be warranted.
Use in Detoxification Contexts
When the body is dumping toxins into the colon, those toxins can destroy the digestive bacterial colonies and impair peristalsis. In this scenario, the fats and bacteria are reluctant to digest food properly because the toxins are contaminating the environment. Aajonus advised continuing the cream-butter suppositories in these cases, combined with eating a sugar-cube-sized amount of cheese every hour to absorb toxins moving through the colon. The suppository continues to feed and support whatever bacterial colonies remain while the detoxification proceeds.
He also described the suppository as part of a protocol where a person is detoxifying through the nervous system and brain, as when someone has experienced extensive pharmaceutical or industrial toxin exposure. The fats from the suppository feed the brain and nervous system directly through E. coli processing, helping stabilize the nervous system during what can otherwise be a disorienting detoxification process.
