Tapeworms

A tapeworm is not a single organism. Each visible segment is an individual worm, roughly rectangular in shape, flat, approximately a quarter of an inch wide and an inch long, resembling a noodle or piece of flat pasta. These individual worms attach to each other at head and tail points and function as a colony, in the same way Aajonus described jellyfish functioning. Each segment is capable of moving independently and breathing independently. When a segment is expelled and left on a dry surface, it will dehydrate rapidly, shriveling from a noodle shape to the size and appearance of a grain of rice within approximately two to five hours.

He measured the tapeworm he expelled and found it to be approximately 47 to 50 feet in total length after accounting for shrinkage that had already occurred during the measurement process. He spread the expelled tapeworm across the wooden floor of a hotel room in Vietnam, or in some accounts Thailand or Cambodia, working quickly because the segments shrink and dehydrate fast. His account of the length varies slightly across different tellings, ranging from 36 to 50 feet, with 47 feet being the most frequently cited figure after accounting for shrinkage.

Aajonus described the tapeworm as a digestive and protective parasite specifically calibrated to carbohydrate overload. When a human body is consuming levels of processed carbohydrates, cereals, and dehydrated sugars that exceed what the body's own digestive enzymes and insulin can manage, the unprocessed sugar accumulates in the intestinal tract. He said that if this accumulation were allowed to continue without intervention, it would function like an acid, comparable to Coca-Cola dissolving tissue, and would deteriorate the intestinal lining entirely.

The tapeworm enters that environment and feeds on what he called advanced glycation end products, which are carbohydrates that have not been converted and are sitting in the intestines in a form that would otherwise begin breaking down intestinal tissue from within. He also said the tapeworm breaks these sugars down into a more utilizable form, allowing the person to survive on a diet that would otherwise cause rapid deterioration. It digests food at a rate five times faster than the body could use its own solvents to remove the same degenerative material.

He specifically noted that tapeworms feed on excessive sugar in any animal not constitutionally suited to digest high carbohydrate loads, including dogs and cats fed high-carbohydrate commercial diets, not just humans.

The association of tapeworms with extreme poverty and third-world conditions is, in Aajonus's reading, entirely a consequence of what those populations are being fed. He traced the origin to food aid programs funded and supplied by major American cereal and processed food companies, specifically naming Purina, General Mills, General Foods, and Kellogg's, which he described as creating philanthropic organizations as a mechanism to dispose of damaged, returned, or unusable product at a profit rather than a loss.

The donations collected from the public are used to purchase these companies' worst discarded cereals, those with bad packaging or manufacturing problems, at a low price, and then send them to Africa, India, Pakistan, and other regions as humanitarian food aid. These cereals are extremely high in acrylamides, which Aajonus described as toxic sugar products, and are combined with powdered or evaporated dehydrated milk, which he identified as one of the most disease-causing foods in existence, citing Dr. Pottinger's animal studies as evidence that dehydrated milk creates more severe chronic disease than almost any other processed food. The combination of powdered cereal and powdered milk mixed with water is the dietary staple that produces tapeworm environments.

He stressed that children and adults eating their traditional diets, including meat in any quantity, have no tapeworms. He described studying South African children and observing that every child on the traditional diet eating meat, whether raw or cooked, had no tapeworms, while every child fed by the food aid programs did. He said the tapeworms in those children, even up to a hundred feet of tapeworm in a single individual, were the only reason those children were alive at all, because the organism was continuously neutralizing the carbohydrate load that would otherwise kill them faster.

Aajonus spent decades trying and failing to host any parasite at all, which he attributed to the chemotherapy and radiation he had received beginning in his teens, which he said left his abdominal tissues so contaminated with toxic residue that any parasite attempting to take hold would be killed before it could establish itself. He described eating fish filled with pinworms, thousands of them plus millions of eggs, eating them all, and never developing a single pinworm, confirmed by fecal, urine, and blood testing conducted every ten weeks for six months.

At approximately 58 years old, after years of attempts, he developed a method to create the intestinal environment that would allow a tapeworm to emerge. His theory, which he said he confirmed through experiment, was that all parasites exist already as memory and eggs within animal tissue, and that they emerge when the internal environment becomes appropriate, rather than arriving from an outside source. He said he proved this through a controlled experiment in which a sheep was slaughtered under sterile conditions, placed in a sealed sterile room with filtered air, kept at the sheep's body temperature of approximately 101.6 degrees Fahrenheit, and observed developing parasitic activity within two to three days with zero external exposure.

To create the tapeworm environment in his own body, he took raw milk and fermented it for approximately 21 days with maca root powder added. Maca root is a high-carbohydrate root vegetable from South America that he described as reacting in the body similarly to cereals. He noted that dried maca root, regardless of what producers claim about processing, requires high heat and heavy processing to prevent fungal growth and is therefore heavily concentrated and denatured in its dried form. He put approximately three quarters of a cup of maca root powder into approximately three cups of milk with a small amount of processed honey and allowed it to ferment for 21 days.

When he opened the fermented mixture, the alcohol content was so extreme that it burned his sinuses, gave him a headache lasting six hours, and turned his eyes red for four hours. He drank three quarters of the liquid within an hour. The result was severe, widespread hives covering his body from the lower back across the buttocks and up to the midsection, and on the front from the lower chest to the upper thighs. These hives lasted for approximately three days.

He managed the hives while traveling on a plane to Hanoi by using refrigerated tomato slices and cucumber slices applied to the skin, alternating between the two on an hourly basis. He also used cold baths with coconut vinegar and crushed tomatoes. He refused to scratch the hives, wanting to observe what would happen if left alone, and found that they scabbed over as if scraped. He collected the scrapings and had them tested in Hanoi laboratories, finding high concentrations of carbohydrates, advanced glycation end products, and acrylamides in the skin tissue that was being expelled, indicating that the body was using the hives as an exit route for sugar toxicity stored in the tissue.

Approximately three days after the hives began, after he had arrived in Hanoi and was confined to the hotel room, he observed a segment of tapeworm in the toilet following a bowel movement. He described seeing the small, flat noodle-shaped segment moving in the water and immediately recognized it as tapeworm.

The most dramatic and immediate effect Aajonus described was the resolution of constipation he had experienced every day since approximately age two or three. His constipation was so severe and chronic that by age 21 his entire rectum was two inches thick in scar tissue from the repeated tearing caused by fecal matter as large and hard as his fist, described as granite in texture, which he passed every three to five days throughout his childhood and early adult life. He bled with every bowel movement through his mid-fifties. A raw food diet had improved some aspects of his digestion but had not resolved the hardness of the initial fecal matter in the morning, which continued to cause tearing and bleeding even as the diet changed.

From the day he first observed the tapeworm, he did not have constipation again. Throughout the period the tapeworm was active, his bowel movements were soft, easy, sometimes thin, sometimes multiple times per day, and entirely without tearing or bleeding. He described this as a transformation in his quality of life. He also noted that the scar tissue in his rectum began to resolve, and within the years following the tapeworm's activity, the scar tissue was described as almost completely gone.

He also reported that after the tapeworm, he was able to eat large quantities of cheese without becoming constipated, something that had previously been impossible for him, given that cheese consumed without butter had previously caused granite-like fecal matter.

Additionally, he noted that after the tapeworm, a sensation of calm and nourishment from food returned that he had not experienced since his vagotomy, the surgical severing of the vagus nerve he had undergone decades earlier.

Approximately six weeks after first observing the tapeworm, Aajonus developed a sudden, intense craving for raw onion. He described this as entirely out of character, because he did not like raw onion in quantity and ordinarily used only a very thin slice with meat meals. While in Hanoi or Cambodia depending on the telling, he bought a red onion or yellow onion at an outdoor market across from his hotel and ate half of it raw, as if eating an apple, finding it delicious despite his normal aversion. The second half repulsed him and he could not finish it.

Within approximately five to ten hours, he experienced sudden diarrhea and expelled the entire tapeworm colony at once. In his accounts he said this happened within six hours in some versions and about ten hours in others. He immediately retrieved the tapeworm from the toilet and spread it across the wooden floor of the hotel room to measure it before it shriveled. He estimated the final length at approximately 47 feet, noting that it had likely already shrunk from perhaps 50 to 55 feet during the measurement period.

He was devastated. He described crying, being angry, feeling that all the years of work to acquire a parasite had been undone by an instinctive craving he had followed without thinking. He said he felt he had betrayed his own best janitor.

He then watched for further signs of the tapeworm and observed, approximately ten days after the expulsion, that small segments were appearing again in his feces, indicating that the tapeworm had not been entirely expelled and a portion remained active. Several weeks later, while in Thailand, he had another diarrhea episode and expelled another portion of comparable size, again spreading it across a floor and measuring it.

He also described, in another account, eating half a red onion and expelling 36 feet of tapeworm the next morning, with a different timeline. Over the following three months, segments gradually disappeared entirely. When he resumed consuming heavily fermented dairy, segments began reappearing. When he stopped the fermented dairy, the tapeworm appeared to go dormant again.

He concluded from this experience that the tapeworm had not fully left but cycled between active and dormant states depending on the intestinal environment, specifically the presence or absence of highly fermented, high-carbohydrate substrates.

Aajonus stated directly that if someone has a tapeworm and finds it too much to manage, eating a raw onion by itself will drive the tapeworm out. He connected this to the instinctive craving he experienced, suggesting the body generates the craving as a signal that the tapeworm has completed its work. He said that in his case, the craving and the expulsion were the body's natural conclusion of the parasite's cleaning cycle.

He also noted that the tribe members and gorillas in Africa who eat onions do so instinctively, and that the same mechanism applies: an animal that has had sufficient help from an intestinal parasite will develop a craving for the food that ends the relationship. He explicitly advised that eating a raw onion alone, not with food, is the method to use if someone is overwhelmed by a tapeworm's activity.

The book passage also notes that eating plenty of fresh raw onions with meat usually forces a tapeworm to evacuate with feces if someone is getting too weak during a tapeworm detoxification.

Aajonus addressed the Japanese practice of marinating fish specifically in relation to tapeworms. When asked whether he believed in marinating to avoid tapeworms, he said no, and clarified that the Japanese marinate fish because it digests faster, not because they are trying to avoid parasites or worms. He reiterated that tapeworms live only in individuals who eat mainly grains and no protein, specifically in third-world conditions, and that marinating fish has no relationship to preventing tapeworms in someone whose diet includes protein.

Aajonus described commissioning an experiment that cost approximately $60,000, in which a room approximately ten feet by six feet was divided into two halves by a sterile wall. Both halves of the room were completely sterilized. A sheep was slaughtered under sterile conditions and also sterilized with vinegar. The meat was placed in one sterile half and kept at the sheep's body temperature of approximately 101.6 degrees Fahrenheit using EPA-filtered air that was monitored to ensure no outside organisms could enter. Within two days, small organisms began moving. By three days, parasites were visibly present.

No parasites had been introduced from the outside. No cross-contamination was possible given the setup. Aajonus interpreted this as conclusive evidence that parasites are a natural and pre-existing part of animal tissue, existing in a dormant or embedded state as memory and eggs within every cell, and that they emerge when the internal biochemical environment makes it appropriate. He said this directly contradicted the medical claim that tapeworms enter through the feet, or that raw meat introduces parasites into the body, calling that position "the most ridiculous thing in the world" and noting that no one claiming it has performed any experiment to prove it.

He said he never got a tapeworm from meat, that meat eaters do not get tapeworms, and that his own tapeworm emerged from tissue in his body that had been saturated with processed carbohydrate residue from his years of cereal eating, not from any food he consumed after going raw.

Across his various accounts, the tapeworm lived in his body for approximately six weeks before he experienced the onion craving that expelled the main body of the colony, followed by a week or more of residual segment activity, followed by three months of gradual disappearance, followed by dormancy broken by periods of resumed activity when he ate heavily fermented dairy. He described the total active period during which he had no constipation as lasting approximately one year in some accounts, with recurrence cycles linked to fermented food consumption.

The total absence of constipation and rectal bleeding was, in his account, maintained for at least three to four years following the tapeworm's initial activity. He attributed the permanent resolution to the fact that the tapeworm had consumed the stored toxic carbohydrate residue that had accumulated in his intestinal walls over decades of cereal eating, which even years on a raw diet had not been able to reach and eliminate.

Aajonus consistently framed all parasites, with tapeworms as a primary example, through the lens of biological efficiency. He said parasites can eat one hundred times their weight within 24 hours and produce waste of only one to two percent of what they consume. He contrasted this with bacteria, which work significantly more slowly, and with the body's own solvent mechanisms. He said parasites work five times faster than the body can use a solvent to remove degenerative tissue.

He called them the best of all biological janitors and said that any diagnostic finding of parasites should be treated as good news rather than as a crisis requiring elimination. He specifically said that everyone who has parasites and goes on a raw diet with raw meat and raw dairy gets well faster, significantly faster than people without parasites on the same diet.

He was frustrated by decades of inability to host parasites due to chemotherapy and radiation damage and described finally getting the tapeworm at 58 as a major victory. He said that being unable to get parasites was the primary reason he had to rely on viral cleansing mechanisms instead.

Aajonus warned against using conventional antiparasitic treatments, antibiotics, vaccines, and similar pharmaceutical interventions, framing them as indiscriminate poisons that destroy beneficial bacteria and parasites along with anything else, leaving the body increasingly unable to clean and defend itself. He cited Dr. Weinstock to support the position that eliminating parasites from the human environment has produced greater disease burden, not less.

He noted that the book states drinking lime juice usually prevents or minimizes any parasite's ability to reproduce, and that avoiding cooked green and cooked red fruits and vegetables, including caffeine, and eating plenty of fresh raw red, orange, and green foods, raw vegetable juices, unheated honey, and fresh raw lemon juice cleanse the tissues. He said caffeine causes weakening and decaying of tissue that creates environments where parasites occur in individuals lacking certain enzyme mutations.

He also noted that a switch to raw meat diet alone will cause a tapeworm to dissolve and pass within approximately ten days, and that simply removing carbohydrates from the diet achieves the same result within roughly three months.

Though Aajonus discussed trichinosis and whipworms more extensively in the context of inflammatory bowel syndrome, he framed the tapeworm within the same understanding of parasites as corrective organisms for intestinal dysfunction. He described his own chronic intestinal injury, including the two-inch-thick scar tissue in his rectum, as the kind of condition that resolved only through the tapeworm's activity. He stated that from the day the tapeworm was first active, he never again had a bowel movement that tore his rectum, and that the scar tissue was progressively absorbed and remodeled over the following years.

He noted the contrast with trichinosis, which can be purchased from pharmaceutical-grade sources in Germany and consumed to treat inflammatory bowel syndrome, saying that five of six chronic sufferers who had endured between ten and thirty-two years of inflammatory bowel syndrome were asymptomatic within five days of consuming whipworm eggs in Gatorade. He positioned the tapeworm as performing a related but distinct function, specifically targeting carbohydrate toxicity rather than the inflammatory processes addressed by trichinosis.

Aajonus mentioned that trichinosis, the whipworm, can be purchased in pharmaceutical grade form from Germany, where it is grown under controlled conditions. He noted that patients can consume it and that it is very expensive. He also referenced the possibility of obtaining whipworm by eating a pound of raw small intestine from a pig obtained from an Amish farmer. He indicated awareness of a reference along the lines of a phone number or ordering system for trichinosis and asked rhetorically whether the same existed for tapeworms, then said he did not know whether tapeworm could be ordered the same way, though he noted that you can with trichinosis.
