Symbiosis

Aajonus described digestion as a process that is 80 to 90 percent bacterial, with some of his sources placing the figure as high as 99.5 percent bacterial. The body's own digestive acids and enzymes, including hydrochloric acid, serve only to break large food particles into smaller molecules so that bacteria can infiltrate and consume them. The actual work of digestion, the transformation of food into usable nutrients, is performed by bacteria eating those molecules and excreting waste products that the body then absorbs.

He was explicit about what that means: the nutrients that feed human cells are the feces, urine, and perspiration of bacteria. He stated this plainly and repeatedly, calling it disgusting only in the sense that modern conditioning makes it seem so, while insisting that it is simply how nutrition works. His analogy was kefir and yogurt, which are milk thick with bacterial feces, urine, and perspiration, and which nutrify the person who consumes them quickly and efficiently. The same process happens inside the intestines continuously. When bacteria finish consuming a meal, regardless of whether the original food was blueberries or meat, what remains in the intestinal tract is described as a thick, milky white substance, which then passes into the lacteal system of the intestines for absorption.

Aajonus placed 60,000 groups of bacteria in the small intestine, covering only about three or four families, all dedicated to feeding on the food that passes through. He also described the saliva as populated with bacteria specifically adapted to digest animal matter, which is why he recommended spitting into milk to create a personalized kefir perfectly calibrated to what is deficient in one's own body.

E. coli held a specific place in this framework. It is the main type of bacteria in the bowels, responsible for eating and digesting the final stages of food, and its byproducts, secretions, and wastes are described as the richest nutrients available to feed the brain and nerve cells. Without E. coli performing this final stage of digestion, the brain and nervous system are deprived of their most concentrated source of nutrition. Campylobacter and whipworm are similarly classified as digestive organisms rather than pathogens. Aajonus stated plainly that without bacterial participation in digestion, the human body would assimilate perhaps 13 percent of its food, and not well.

Beyond digestion, Aajonus identified a second major category of bacterial function, which he called janitorial work. Janitorial bacteria consume damaged, dead, bruised, toxic, or otherwise non-recoverable cells. They do not consume healthy tissue. The extent to which bacteria consume cellular material is always proportional to the extent of cellular damage, not the reverse. When food additives, pesticides, herbicides, medications, or other toxic substances poison cells, janitorial bacteria move in to clean the resulting debris. The same applies to damaged tissue anywhere in the body.

The quantities he used to describe bacterial efficiency as janitors were consistent across multiple discussions. Bacteria can eat approximately 50 times their weight in a 24-hour period and reduce that consumed material to a waste product of only 1 to 5 percent of the original mass. By contrast, a human being eats roughly 7 to 14 pounds of food per day and produces roughly a quarter pound to a pound of fecal matter, a ratio Aajonus regarded as comparatively poor. He was fond of pointing out that bacterial digestion is still more efficient than human digestion, even though bacteria rank second to parasites in his hierarchy of janitorial effectiveness.

Salmonella, listeria, and campylobacter are repeatedly identified by Aajonus as janitorial bacteria rather than pathogens. He stated that many forms of salmonella and listeria eat damaged cells or particular parts of damaged cells in order to generate and maintain what he called an ecologically sustainable environment. Their presence at the site of disease indicates that damage preceded them, not that they created the damage. He challenged every audience to consider that doctors check for microbes in almost all disease cases and, the moment any microbe is identified, name it as the primary cause, without investigating the underlying toxicity that drew the microbe there in the first place.

Aajonus connected this to the analogy of vultures and crows. Those birds exist continuously in the environment and descend to feed when they find decaying matter. No one accuses vultures of killing the animal they feed on. Janitorial bacteria operate on exactly the same principle, arriving at damaged tissue because it is their food, not because they caused the damage. He extended the same logic to the whole planet: bacteria, parasites, and fungi are the organisms that prevent the Earth from becoming a toxic gaseous waste dump by consuming all decaying matter. In the human body environment, they serve the same planetary function.

Aajonus organized bacteria, parasites, and fungi into a clear hierarchy based on how efficiently each type of microorganism consumes waste and how little residue it leaves behind.

Parasites occupy the top position. They can eat 100 times their own weight in a 24-hour period and produce waste of only 1 to 5 percent of the consumed material. Aajonus compared this to a person eating 100 pounds of food and producing only 1 pound of excrement the next day. He called this extraordinary efficiency and stated repeatedly that he actively wanted parasites in his body and worked to obtain them. He described spending 38 years after his chemotherapy and radiation treatments before his body was toxic enough with poisons for a parasite to take hold, and he expressed happiness when he finally obtained a tapeworm. The tapeworm also resolved a chronic problem with large, hard, painful fecal matter, after which his fecal matter never again exceeded the circumference of two thumbs held together.

Bacteria rank second. They eat approximately 50 times their weight in 24 hours and produce the same 1 to 5 percent waste ratio. Aajonus described this as half as good as a parasite but still far superior to the body's own waste management ratio. He called them an excellent janitor and his second choice.

Fungi and mold rank third. Fungi produce significantly more waste product than bacteria or parasites, described as approximately 25 percent of consumed material as waste in a 24-hour period. The excess waste from fungal activity manifests visibly, often as skin symptoms including itching and drying. However, fungi serve an essential function that neither bacteria nor parasites can replicate: they dissolve connective tissue and structural debris through the mycelium, a milky liquid substance that moves through tissue and consumes dead matter without touching living roots or living cells. The mushroom is the spore or reproductive structure thrown out by the mycelium after it has finished consuming its substrate, analogous to the flower of the mycelium. Fungal organisms move into degenerative tissue the same way spores in the soil activate when rain causes them to find dead roots. They do not attack living tissue.

One of the more unusual claims in Aajonus's framework was that parasites do not come from external sources but are generated by the body from its own tissue when needed. He paid approximately 60,000 dollars to conduct a controlled experiment to demonstrate this. A room was divided in half with a sterile wall. Both sides were sterilized. A sheep was slaughtered, sterilized with vinegar, and split between the two sides of the room. In one sterile side, the meat developed parasites spontaneously, demonstrating that animal tissue contains parasite memory and eggs that can activate under appropriate conditions. His conclusion was that all animal tissue carries the capacity to generate parasites from within, and that a parasite is therefore not something that invades from outside but something that the body generates when the conditions require it.

He applied this to specific cases. Malaria, in his framework, is generated to clean out red blood cells. A tapeworm is generated to address intestinal environments overloaded with sugar. He described his own tapeworm as self-generated through deliberate dietary provocation: he fermented milk with maca root powder, a very high-carbohydrate substance, knowing from his theory that if his body contained parasite memory and if the conditions were favorable, it would produce a parasite. The experiment succeeded, and he reported hives from the process as well as the emergence of the tapeworm.

Aajonus also referenced Dr. Joel Weinstock, a gastroenterologist at Iowa University, who began studying trichinosis, the whipworm, after noticing that pigs in his college's agricultural department were very sick because they were too clean, having no trichinosis or other organisms natural to pigs that normally root in mud with its full microbial complement. Aajonus cited this as clinical validation that digestive parasites including whipworm are not only harmless but necessary to animal health.

The only parasite he identified as genuinely harmful was a specific organism found in the Amazon River that enters the urethra during urination. It is very small, approximately the size of a thin pin-sized worm, and it has a spine that allows it to lock itself inside the urinary tract where it then grows. He saw one removed and described its transformation from small to significantly larger. This was the single exception he could identify to his general position that no naturally occurring parasite is dangerous to human beings.

A central argument in Aajonus's critique of germ theory was that all the laboratory evidence used to establish bacterial pathogenicity is generated in petri dishes, which bear no relationship to living biology. In a petri dish there are no bio-generated, self-perpetuating, and naturally flowing fluids. There is no natural waste removal system through which bacterial or cellular waste can evacuate, evaporate, or perspire. All waste from both cells and bacteria accumulates in the dish solution. Cells that divide and multiply in this environment are altered, damaged, and frequently mutant, either distinguishably or indistinguishably.

When pharmaceutical and medical researchers place animal cells in a petri dish and introduce salmonella, certain strains of E. coli, campylobacter, streptococcus, or trichinosis, they observe those bacteria consuming the animal cells and declare that as proof of pathogenicity. What Aajonus pointed out is that the animal cells in the dish are already in the natural process of dying because they are no longer inside a whole organism. The natural process of any cell removed from its living organism is death. Janitorial bacteria respond to dying cells by consuming them, which is their precise function. The researchers see bacteria consuming cells and conclude that bacteria kill cells, when they are observing bacteria performing exactly what they do in a healthy body with damaged tissue.

Additionally, only mutant bacteria that are chemically forced to survive in the artificial petri dish environment will survive at all. Those mutant forms have little relationship to the natural forms of the same species in a living body. Aajonus argued that the entire edifice of pathogen theory is built on observations of mutant bacteria behaving abnormally in artificial environments, then projecting that behavior onto naturally occurring bacteria in living biological systems.

He also challenged the visual representations used in medical advertising. When advertisements show a "live microbe," Aajonus argued that what is actually being shown is a microorganism, not a virus, and that the images of viruses being generated in modern times are Walt Disney animation, computer-generated images rather than photographs of anything real. He noted that it was known 60 years ago that antibiotics were never to be prescribed for viruses because viruses were understood to contain nothing alive.

While Aajonus held that no naturally occurring bacteria is dangerous to the human body, he made an important distinction regarding man-made and genetically modified bacteria. He stated that there may be very toxic man-made and genetically modified microbes that enter and live in bodies through medical and environmental pollution. In healthy bodies, those man-made microbes are not likely to survive, but they represent a genuinely different category from anything that naturally inhabits or passes through the human system.

He specified the most likely routes of entry for unnatural bacteria: injection through vaccines and experimental drugs, germ warfare, and contamination from the medical system itself. He advised that staying away from the medical system reduces the chance of encountering foreign unnatural bacteria by approximately 90 percent, and that eating grass-fed or grazed meats makes it nearly impossible to encounter any kind of deranged man-made bacteria. Processed food was identified as another potential source of foreign bacterial exposure. His guidance was therefore not to fear naturally occurring bacteria encountered through food, environment, or physical contact, but to minimize exposure to industrial and medical sources of contamination that could introduce genuinely harmful mutant organisms.

The factors that disrupt the symbiotic relationship between the body and its microbial residents are consistently identified across Aajonus's materials as industrial rather than natural. Food additives, pesticides, herbicides, and medications, especially antibiotics and vaccines, destroy intestinal microbes. When intestinal microbes are destroyed, the body must intensely increase its production of digestive acids to compensate, and this compensation is both energetically expensive and inadequate, as those acids cannot perform the nutrient transformation that bacterial waste products provide.

Cooking food is treated as one of the primary disruptors of the natural bacterial environment. When raw food passes through a body, digestive bacteria eat the food cells and produce non-toxic waste that is healthy food for the body. When cooked and processed foods pass through, the digestive bacteria feeding on those foods release much of the toxic additives contained in them, and even the bacterial byproducts that are normally food become dangerously toxic. The body then progresses toward disease, at a rate that depends on the overall health of the individual.

Antibiotics receive specific criticism as instruments that destroy intestinal microbes wholesale. Aajonus pointed out that the most current bio-research acknowledges that humans are 99.5 percent bacterial and that all bodily functions, including digestion, smiling, singing, breathing, and running, are the result of bacterial exchanges. In light of this, antibiotics, which kill bacteria systemically, do not correct a bacterial infestation problem but rather destroy the very infrastructure of bodily function. He called the antibiotic approach to bacterial infection a sham, noting that the bacteria labeled as pathogens are merely janitors, and that killing the janitors in response to the presence of damage at the cellular level is the equivalent of arresting the cleanup crew for causing the crime scene.

When bacteria are removed from their natural environment in the digestive tract and placed in a foreign environment, such as occurs with cooked food, they cannot perform their normal digestive functions and instead begin eating apart cells because they have nothing else suitable to consume. This makes them appear to be pathogens, degenerating tissue, when in fact they are simply organisms responding to an unnatural circumstance. In the context of a raw food diet, the same bacteria perform only their designated functions without causing any apparent cellular destruction.

Unnaturally toxic environments created by cooked and chemically processed foods cause many more cells to become damaged, which draws in much larger colonies of janitorial bacteria than would otherwise be present. The excessive presence of janitorial bacteria in such circumstances is then interpreted as infection, when it is actually an ecological response to heightened cellular damage. Aajonus consistently directed attention away from the microbes and toward the food additives, pesticides, and processing techniques as the true causative factors.

Aajonus used fermentation as a practical tool to amplify microbial symbiosis in the body. He described a period of his own recovery during which he fermented all the foods he ate in order to introduce as much beneficial bacteria as possible into a body severely damaged by chemotherapy and radiation. He reasoned that fermenting food creates abundant bacteria of the kind that would normally populate a healthy digestive tract, and that introducing those bacteria through fermented food supplements what the body cannot generate on its own when it is in a depleted state.

High meat, which is raw meat allowed to ferment and age, was described as delivering a large quantity of helpful bacteria all at once. He described eating approximately 8 ounces of high meat containing glands, muscle meat, and intestines at a high state of fermentation, and reported that nearly everyone present who consumed it became happy, a response he attributed to the sudden influx of bacterial assistance in the body's cleaning and remodeling work. Normally he recommended a golf ball-sized amount. He described the experience of having 50 jars of various high meat preparations and noted that the bacteria present in high meat is the kind that helps renovate the body the way hiring a whole team of workers helps renovate a house that a single person would otherwise have to rebuild alone with a chisel.

Spit inoculation of milk to create kefir was another fermentation practice he described. Because human saliva contains bacteria specifically adapted to digest animal matter, spitting into milk produces a kefir perfectly calibrated to the individual's digestive needs, reflecting exactly what is deficient in that person's body and how that body's bacteria interact with milk.

Fecal matter from animals was recommended for specific severe conditions including psychotropic illness, seemingly irreversible cancers, severe indigestion, non-assimilation, and malabsorption. He specified acquiring the bowel of an animal with its contents intact so that the bacteria would be preserved and relatively bioactive, describing this as a true probiotic that works 100 times better than any probiotic supplement on the market. He cautioned that fecal matter sitting in sun or air becomes dehydrated and neutralized quickly, and that fresh material must be consumed within minutes of collection to preserve bacterial activity.

One of the most direct statements in Aajonus's framework on microbial symbiosis is that human beings ultimately eat the urine and feces of microbes to obtain nutrients from food. He stated this without qualification as the operating principle of digestion. The digestive bacteria consume the food, and their byproducts, specifically their feces, urine, and perspiration, are the nutrients that human cells absorb and recombine. He used this framing deliberately to force a confrontation with the conditioning that makes microbial waste seem dangerous or disgusting, arguing that if people find this disgusting, they have been harmfully miseducated.

He pointed to the fact that all animals lick each other's feces from rectums daily as probably the most blatant proof that bowel microbes are not pathogenic. This behavior is universal among animals and is disgusting only to humans because of indoctrination. He connected this to the broader pattern of finding industrial chemicals safe while treating natural microbial matter as dangerous: the same society that accepts vaccines, medications, and food additives as safe finds bacteria and fecal matter intolerable, when the evidence points in exactly the opposite direction.

Aajonus cited his observation of two polio cases as the first time he recognized that greater concentrations of bacteria equate to quicker and more thorough digestion, cleansing, and healing. One case was hospitalized and receiving massive medication. The other case, with higher microbial activity, recovered more efficiently. He used this as evidence that the relationship between microbial presence and disease outcome is the inverse of what medicine claims: more bacteria and more active bacterial environments accelerate recovery rather than deepening disease.

The sources do not provide the full details of both cases in the passages provided, but the polio observation is cited as a turning point in his understanding of microbial symbiosis.

Aajonus referenced newer research demonstrating that microbial byproducts, specifically bacterial byproducts previously classified as dangerous, are responsible for reversing cancer. He cited Dr. Sara Arab's doctoral work at the University of Toronto in which verotoxin, a bacterial byproduct from E. coli, was injected directly into human malignant brain tumors. A single injection completely dissolved both the tumors and their blood vessels within 2 to 7 days. This was consistent with his observation that the varotoxins produced by bacteria in the body help prevent tumor growth and the storage of dead cells. He also noted that E. coli produces varotoxins as a byproduct of its normal digestive activity, meaning that people with healthy E. coli populations in their intestines are continuously producing a substance that prevents and dissolves malignant tissue.

Aajonus placed microbial symbiosis in a planetary context as well as a bodily one. The entire planet operates on bacterial networks, bacterial compounds, and bacterial microcosms that keep everything moving and transforming. He referenced a microbiologist who stated on a TED stage that 99 percent of the body is bacteria and noted that even this researcher, who he regarded as closer to correct than most, still believed in bad bacteria and had not studied the subject thoroughly enough to integrate the full implications.

He described the planet itself as fundamentally bacterial, meaning that bacteria are not a feature of biology but its foundation. Every transformation of matter on Earth, whether in soil, in water, in animal bodies, or in the atmosphere, is bacterial in its essential mechanism. From this perspective, the fear of bacteria is not simply a medical error but a fundamental misunderstanding of what life is and how it operates.
