Viruses
Protein structures manufactured by cells to dissolve contaminated tissue too toxic for bacteria, fungi, or parasites to consume. Not alive, not contagious, and not self-replicating; the body produces roughly 300,000 varieties, each specific to a particular tissue or cellular component.
Viruses, in Aajonus Vonderplanitz's framework, are not living organisms. They have no nucleus, no respiratory system, no circulatory system, and no digestive system. Because they possess none of the systems required for life, they cannot reproduce, cannot self-replicate, and therefore cannot be contagious. Aajonus stated this position consistently across decades of workshops, newsletters, and written correspondence, and he traced the shift in mainstream medicine's stance to a commercial decision made roughly 30 years before he was speaking, when the pharmaceutical industry began calling viruses alive so that antibiotics and antiviral drugs could be marketed against them. Before that shift, he noted, it was considered medically criminal to prescribe an antibiotic for a viral condition because every trained physician understood there was nothing alive to kill.
Aajonus described viruses as protein structures, more precisely as solvents or what he eventually preferred to call enzyme fractionators, manufactured entirely within cells. They dissolve, disassemble, or fractionate specific contaminated cellular and intercellular tissue that has become too toxic for the body's living cleansing agents, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, to consume. The analogy he returned to repeatedly was industrial solvent poured onto a greasy garage floor: the solvent breaks the grease apart and distributes it throughout a large volume of fluid, but nothing is reduced or neutralized in the way that living organisms would reduce waste. The total mass of toxicity is not diminished; it is spread out and must then be flushed, bound, and eliminated by the body through mucous membranes, skin, tear ducts, ear canals, gums, salivary glands, and the tongue.
He held that viruses are entirely body-produced, that every image ever circulated of a virus in medical literature is computer-generated art rather than a photograph, that the images resemble Walt Disney or Disneyland renditions, and that no actual photograph of a live virus body exists or can exist because there is no live virus body to photograph. What appears in laboratory images is dissolved cellular waste, RNA and DNA fragments, and the chemical remnants of the disintegration process. The pharmaceutical industry, he argued, constructed a commercial mythology around these images to generate perpetual fear and perpetual drug dependency.
What Viruses Are
Viruses are protein bodies synthesized by individual cells. Aajonus described them as solvents or soaps comparable to laundry detergent or muriatic acid in their function, substances that dissolve and disassemble matter without being alive themselves. He used the phrase "body soaps" interchangeably with "solvents" to communicate that cells manufacture these protein structures for specific cleansing tasks in the same way that humans manufacture soap to clean laundry. Saying viruses are contagious, he said, is exactly like saying laundry soap is contagious because it is found in every home across a city.
He later refined his terminology, noting that the word "solvent" was confusing to some people and that "enzyme fractionators" was more accurate. He drew a comparison to digestive hydrochloric acid: just as hydrochloric acid does not obliterate food but rather fractionates molecular particles so that bacteria can consume them, a virus goes into contaminated tissue, separates its molecular components, and allows the debris to be carried out of the body. The virus does not eat the tissue in the sense that bacteria eat tissue. It dismantles, dissolves, and fractionates it.
Viruses contain DNA because cells use their own internal substances, including DNA, to synthesize the virus. The presence of DNA in a viral particle is not evidence that the virus is alive or self-directing; it is simply a consequence of the materials the cell used to construct it.
Why Cells Produce Viruses
Cells resort to virus production only when the tissue they need to cleanse is so contaminated with non-bioactive chemicals, industrial pollutants, pharmaceutical residues, processed food byproducts, heavy metals, or other toxic substances that bacteria, fungi, and parasites cannot survive feeding on it. Aajonus used the analogy of a field heavily treated with arsenic growing apples: if an apple from that field is eaten, the consumer is poisoned. In the same way, bacteria or parasites that attempt to consume a cell heavily saturated with cadmium, lead, mercury, or industrial chemical residues will die before they can accomplish their work. They do not multiply; they perish.
When the body cannot deploy its living janitors, it falls back on the solvent process. This is why, Aajonus explained, viruses are predominantly a phenomenon of industrialized, heavily toxified populations. In tribal communities and in nature generally, he observed that viruses are rare. The bird community was the one consistent exception he noted, and he attributed that to birds' constant exposure to environmental contamination. Industrialized humans, whose cells are saturated with processed food chemicals, pharmaceutical agents, vaccines, and environmental pollution, regularly require viral detoxification because their bodies cannot sustain bacterial, fungal, or parasitic cleansing in the affected tissues.
He identified the flu as predominantly viral detoxification. Most humans, he said, are too toxic to cleanse naturally with bacteria, parasites, and fungi, and so their bodies turn to viruses. He urged people not to suppress flu processes with drugs, because the flu is the body completing a necessary cleansing cycle. Rejoicing through a flu and supporting the body nutritionally, he said, is followed by increased vitality.
The Specificity of Viruses
One of Aajonus's most detailed claims about viruses is their extraordinary specificity. He stated that there are 300,000 varieties of virus in the human body at minimum, and in some sources he cited figures of 320,000 or 500,000 depending on the type of cell and the level of analysis. Each variety is specific to a particular tissue, a particular zone within the body, or a particular component within a cell.
He organized the zones of viral activity as intracellular, extracellular, and the body as a whole, with specific organ systems and glands constituting their own zones. A virus working on the outer membrane of an artery is different from one working on the interior connective tissue of that same artery. He cited the example that approximately 25 to 26 different viruses are specific to just the outer arterial membrane, each one pulling apart a different structural component. This level of specificity exists precisely because if all 300,000 viruses activated simultaneously, the entire body would dissolve. He noted that Ebola represents a case where something very close to this happens, and he identified Ebola as man-made.
Within a single arm, he said, there could be 2,000 varieties of viruses working locally on the cells surrounding specific tissues in that area. The connective tissue in one part of an arm differs structurally from the connective tissue in a joint or adjacent structure, so a different virus is required for each. This is also why, he explained, the medical community observes viruses "changing shape" and labels them retroviruses: the cell is not producing the same virus repeatedly; it is producing successive, different viruses as it works through successive layers of contaminated tissue. Each virus addresses a specific structural component, completes its dissolution, and the cell then produces a different virus to address the next component.
The Lifecycle of a Virus
Aajonus stated that no virus lives longer than 24 to 72 hours. He said this in multiple sessions: the virus that exists today will not exist in three days. Within 72 hours, the virus has changed completely and is a different virus. The original virus is extinct.
This has a direct implication for flu vaccines that he returned to repeatedly. A vaccine produced for a specific viral strain is specific to a virus that was already 18 months to three years obsolete at the time of distribution. The pharmaceutical industry, he said, is fully aware of this. The virus targeted by any given vaccine ceased to exist years before the vaccine reached the public. He described this as the biggest scam in the world and as something the pharmaceutical industry knows perfectly well, making the flu vaccine business, in his view, a deliberate racket.
The reason viruses change so rapidly is that the cell producing them is working through a sequence of different contaminated structures. Once a particular virus has done its work on one specific tissue component, that task is complete and the cell produces a new virus for the next component. The virus does not persist, does not evolve in the biological sense, and does not accumulate. It appears, does its specific job within a 24 to 72-hour window, and is gone.
Man-Made Viruses
Aajonus made a distinction between naturally produced body viruses and viruses engineered in laboratories. He identified AIDS and Ebola as man-made and cited Dr. Robert Strecker as his primary source on the AIDS question. He described Strecker as an oncologist with approximately five doctorates who was hired by an insurance company in San Francisco to study AIDS because the company was preparing to insure a workforce that was approximately 60 percent homosexual.
Strecker's investigation involved fractionating the AIDS virus protein structure. When he applied a chemical to the protein network of a natural virus, it fractionates into five parts. The AIDS virus consistently fractionated into two parts, which Strecker recognized as characteristic of man-made construction. He then took the two opposite halves and spliced together the two sides from two separate viral structures, identifying them as the lymphonomic virus of a sheep and the leukemic virus of a bovine. He combined the names of those two diseases in fifteen different possible arrangements until one of those arrangements matched an existing disease name. Aajonus used this account to argue that AIDS is a deliberately constructed pathogen, not a naturally arising virus.
He also cited Dr. Leonard Horowitz as a source of evidence that HIV, West Nile virus, and SARS were developed by military programs for germ warfare purposes.
Regarding man-made viruses generally, Aajonus said that in a person in a very weakened state of health, it is possible to propagate an introduced virus if the body needs it. How the body handles it depends on the condition of the body and what that body is fed. Man-made viruses can be dangerous to a weakened immune system in someone who does not eat properly.
The Vaccine Racket
The flu vaccine, in Aajonus's framework, is not merely ineffective but is fundamentally nonsensical at a structural level. Since every virus exists for 24 to 72 hours at maximum and then ceases to exist as that virus, any vaccine produced for a specific viral strain is aimed at a target that no longer exists. The 18-month to three-year timeline between identifying a viral strain and distributing a vaccine means the vaccine is always aimed at an extinct target.
He said flatly that the pharmaceutical industry knows this. If it knows that the virus targeted by the vaccine is already obsolete by the time the vaccine ships, then the vaccine program is a deliberate commercial fraud. He described the avian flu vaccine program specifically: he said the vaccine being prepared for distribution was a relabeled swine flu preparation that had been sitting in vaults because $7 billion had already been spent on it during one period and an additional $8 billion under Bush. Rather than waste the investment, the contents would be pulled from storage and rebranded for the current fear campaign. None of it, he said, has any relevance to actual viral biology.
He noted that even the concept of giving an antibiotic for a viral condition, which is standard practice in medicine, is structurally absurd because antibiotics work against living bacteria, and there is nothing alive in a virus. Giving an antibiotic for a virus is, in his phrase, an absurd case.
Viruses and Meningitis
Aajonus drew a specific comparison between bacterial meningitis and viral meningitis to illustrate the difference in severity. He said the medical community itself recognizes this distinction: bacterial meningitis, while serious, is comparatively manageable because the bacterial process is efficient and waste is minimized. Viral meningitis is more dangerous because the viral solvent process creates large volumes of contaminated fluid in the meningeal space, causing extreme swelling. That swelling in the meningeal tissue creates pressure on the consciousness center, raising the risk of coma, aneurysm, or ruptured blood vessels in the brain.
His protocol recommendation for severe viral headache, where the headache is intensifying, was to lie on the back and place two hot water bottles on either side of the head. He specified that true rubber hot water bottles are preferable to plastic because plastic outgases into the heat.
