Aajonus's Definition
Aajonus did not use the term "Bitot's spots" in any of the provided source passages. However, he spoke at length about white spots appearing in the outer regions of the iris, which corresponds anatomically to the conjunctival zone, the same area where Bitot's spots manifest in conventional diagnosis.
In Aajonus's framework, white spots in the outer iris and lymphatic ring are not a deficiency condition, they are a sign of active infection and immune activity. He said:
"The white spots in the eyes are all infections. In the outer and the lymph area right near the skin all those are lymph glands. The outer gray line. So the spots that are right there, those are lymph glands that are trying to break down matter. Those are infections in those glands. So those are very active, good glands. But they are dealing with a lot of garbage, to be that active, to have that much infection going on."
Aajonus Vonderplanitz
He further confirmed:
"Well, the white lines throughout are fibers. That's good vitality. And the spots are always a good sign. They show that you are breaking down matter. But you can be overworking it."
Aajonus Vonderplanitz
So within Aajonus's system, any white accumulation visible in or near the conjunctival/outer iris zone represents lymphatic activity and infection breakdown, the body actively processing and eliminating toxic matter, not a nutritional deficiency state as conventional medicine would categorize Bitot's spots.
He was explicit that white spots throughout the iris, not just in the outer ring, carry this same meaning of active breakdown, but that their location in the outermost rim (the lymphatic/skin zone in Jensen's iridology chart) specifically identifies lymph glands engaged in breaking down toxic material at the body's surface interface.

Root Cause
Within Aajonus's framework, the appearance of white spots or deposits in and around the outer iris and conjunctival zone, the area that in conventional medicine would produce what is called Bitot's spots, arises from accumulated toxicity being processed by the lymphatic system.
He identified several layered causes:
Toxicity accumulation as the foundational cause: Aajonus consistently framed all visible spots, lesions, and discolorations in the eye and surrounding tissue as reflections of systemic toxicity, stored poisons, dead cells, metallic deposits, drug residues, and industrial contaminants that the body has been unable to fully eliminate.
Lymphatic congestion and overwork: The outer ring of the iris, in his reading, corresponds to the lymphatic system and the skin. When white spots cluster there, it means the lymph glands are actively working to break down toxic matter, but they are being overtaxed. He said the person is "dealing with a lot of garbage" to generate that level of lymphatic activity.
Bile displaced into tissue: Aajonus described a specific mechanism highly relevant to any ocular surface deposit: when the body lacks sufficient dietary fat, bile, which is meant to digest fats, gets displaced into body tissue where it causes damage. He said:
"Bile is to digest fats, not act as fat, because it dissolves into caustic compounds for digestion of fats, not to be used in place of. So you've got this caustic stuff going in and binding with your cells. And you have it all over and it's damaged a lot of your cells. That's the brown matter coming out."
Aajonus Vonderplanitz
And specifically regarding vitamin A and its role in drawing out bile from tissues:
"You need that extra carotene, the vitamin A, to help soothe your tissues as it pulls it out. Now what that may do for a while is cause huge brown spots through your body."
Aajonus Vonderplanitz
This is directly relevant because conventional medicine frames Bitot's spots as a consequence of vitamin A deficiency. Aajonus's framework does not deny that vitamin A is involved, but he frames it as bile and fat dysregulation rather than simple dietary deficiency.
Vaccine and pharmaceutical contamination: Aajonus repeatedly identified spots in the iris, including in the outer zones, as arising from vaccines and pharmaceutical drugs stored in tissues. He described mercury spots from vaccines as appearing as dark spots in the iris, penicillin as yellow spots in the brain zone of the iris, and tetracycline and tetanus as stored in peripheral tissues. Any of these accumulations, when they involve the lymphatic zone at the outer iris, would manifest as visible deposits.
Cooked food, sugar, and industrial toxins: He identified sugar specifically as "a sulfuric acid substance" that destroys intestinal tissue, and he named industrial solvents, including Windex and antifreeze, as appearing as green in the lymphatic zone of the iris, causing the lymphatic system and connective tissue to dissolve. He stated:
"Janitors always have a lot of this around their industrial solvents, actually dissolving their lymphatic system, the connective tissue, and leads to MS and huge deformities."

Symptoms Reframed
Aajonus reframes white deposits or visible accumulations in the conjunctival/outer iris zone not as a disease state requiring correction, but as evidence of lymphatic immune activity. The conventional interpretation, that white foamy deposits on the conjunctiva indicate vitamin A deficiency and represent tissue degeneration, would be reframed by Aajonus in the following way:
White spots = active lymph glands breaking down matter. He said directly: "The spots are always a good sign. They show that you are breaking down matter."
Heavy spotting = overworked lymphatic system. The system is functional but burdened. The appropriate response is not to suppress the process but to stop adding toxins and provide the body with proper fats and raw nutrients so it can complete its work.
The gray outer line of the iris = skin/lymph boundary. Spots clustering here indicate the lymph glands at the body's surface interface are actively engaged. This is not pathology, it is immune work.
Vitamin A framing reinterpreted. Conventional medicine says Bitot's spots mean vitamin A deficiency. Aajonus's framework says the issue is not simply a lack of vitamin A but rather: (a) the body lacks sufficient raw fats to properly utilize and transport fat-soluble nutrients including vitamin A, (b) bile has been displaced into tissues because of fat deficiency driven by a cooked-food diet, and (c) the liver, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas have been damaged by toxins and are pushing out non-functional cells. He said:
"The liver, spleen, pancreas, and gallbladder, those are the dark cells, glands, and organs that push cells out that can't function anymore because they've been poisoned into the skin and act as skin. People call them liver spots."
Aajonus Vonderplanitz
Raw vitamin A, specifically in the form of carotene from raw foods and retinol from raw animal fats, is the solution within his system, but it works through a completely different mechanism than conventional supplementation.

Food Protocol
While Aajonus did not give a specific protocol for "Bitot's spots" by name, his protocols for the underlying conditions his framework identifies, lymphatic congestion, bile displaced in tissue, vitamin A insufficiency from lack of raw fat, and eye-related toxic accumulations, are drawn directly from his statements:
Raw fats as the primary intervention: Raw fats, especially raw butter, raw cream, raw coconut cream, and raw animal fats, are the foundational foods in Aajonus's system for addressing any condition involving bile displacement, lymphatic congestion, or tissue toxicity. He stated that when the body lacks fat, bile is used in its place and causes caustic cellular damage. Restoring raw fat intake corrects this at the root.
He specifically mentioned: - Raw butter - Raw cream - Coconut cream (raw, unheated) - Raw animal fat (including fat from meat) - Raw eggs (as fat and protein delivery)
Carrot juice and vitamin A: For bile pull-out specifically, Aajonus mentioned the role of carotene (vitamin A precursor):
"You need that extra carotene, the vitamin A, to help soothe your tissues as it pulls it out."
Aajonus Vonderplanitz
Carrot juice was a core part of his protocol for liver, bile, and glandular cleansing throughout his work.
Cheese for absorbing toxins: Aajonus used raw unsalted cheese specifically to draw toxins, including heavy metals and pharmaceutical residues, out of the body without causing them to be reabsorbed into circulation. He described cheese as acting like a sponge for toxins in the digestive system, which would indirectly reduce the burden on the lymphatic system.
Meat with fat: Raw meat combined with raw fat was his primary protocol for cellular rebuilding. He described eating raw water buffalo meat with raw fat during detox periods, and consistently recommended raw meat as the primary rebuilding food.
Milk: Raw milk as a complete food providing fats, proteins, and minerals in bioavailable form.
Honey-butter-coconut cream mixture: He described consuming this combination during intense detox periods for energy, fat, and soothing of tissue.
Lubrication formula (referenced in context of tissue healing): Aajonus referenced formulas involving coconut cream, honey, and other raw ingredients for tissue healing, though the specific formula was not fully enumerated in these passages in the context of eye conditions.

What to Avoid
- i
Based on Aajonus's framework as expressed in these passages, the following worsen the underlying conditions associated with conjunctival/outer iris deposits:
- iiCooked fats:
Destroy enzymatic activity and cannot be properly utilized by the body, leading to bile displacement.
- iiiSugar:
He called it "a sulfuric acid substance" that "will just melt your intestines away", systemic acidification worsens all lymphatic and tissue conditions.
- ivAntibiotics, especially penicillin:
He said penicillin mold regrows in the body 6 to 18 months after administration and causes massive brain damage and intestinal problems. It shows as yellow spots in the iris. This pharmaceutical damage would compound any lymphatic or ocular tissue condition.
- vVaccines:
He identified vaccine-derived mercury as appearing as dark/black spots in the iris, damaging surrounding tissue. He stated: "Anytime you see a spot like this it's from a vaccine."
- viIndustrial solvents (Windex, antifreeze, nail polish, hairspray):
He identified these as appearing as green in the lymphatic zone of the iris, literally dissolving the lymphatic system and connective tissue.
- viiVolcanic ash clay:
He warned against eating volcanic ash clay because it is full of toxic metals.
- viiiChocolate chip cookies and processed junk food:
He described these as things that "will just melt your intestines away."

Recovery Timeline
Aajonus gave specific recovery timelines for related conditions that provide a framework for understanding how long lymphatic and ocular tissue healing takes:
Eye color change as a measure of iris detoxification: He used his own eyes as the primary case study. He stated that his eyes were brown and green 42 years before the workshop, and it took approximately 30 years on the raw diet for them to become crystal clear blue. He said:
"My eyes were brown and green 38 years ago. Now they're crystal clear blue unless you blow them up."
Aajonus Vonderplanitz
For one of his patients with mercury-derived spots from vaccines in the iris, he said: > "This was 8 years on the diet, she will have blue eyes eventually."
Glandular and surface spots: He described an orange spot that came out of a woman's chin on the lubrication formula: - It appeared suddenly as a bright orange, as if painted on - Over 3 weeks, it turned into a brown birthmark - It then took 6 months to evaporate and go away
Freckles and liver spots: After ten years on the raw diet, he said he had "almost no freckles." After receiving three injections, all those freckles appeared again, demonstrating how quickly new toxic accumulations can re-deposit and how long sustained clean eating had taken to clear the original deposits.
Brown spots in tissue: He described one brown spot that had been in his bladder and prostate area that still had not fully resolved even after decades on the diet, saying: "I always wonder what the hell is that? Why is that still there? All that brown is gone except for that one spot that's just a dot."
Cirrhosed tissue cases: For someone with severely cirrhosed tissue, he said the timeline to optimum health could be thirty-five years. For someone without dryness on the elbows and knees, it might be twenty or fifteen years.
The general principle: Healing of deep tissue spots, lesions, and iris discolorations in Aajonus's framework is a process measured in years to decades, not weeks, because the body must rebuild tissue cell by cell and eliminate stored toxins through the skin, lymph, and elimination organs over extended cycles.

Questions Aajonus Answered
- The following exchanges from Aajonus's seminars are the most directly relevant to the appearance of white spots in the outer iris/conjunctival zone and to eye-related deposits and discolorations:
---
- Q: "So, white is an infection always?"
Aajonus: "Well, the white lines throughout are fibers. That's good vitality. And the spots are always a good sign. They show that you are breaking down matter. But you can be overworking it. Like you go on and on and all of a sudden it stops and your immune system stops working. You just don't want to overwork it, so you want to put the right stuff in it."
- ---
Q: "But I see the white spots all throughout."
- Aajonus: "Right."
Q: "So, it's not just in the lymph area."
- Aajonus: "You've got them in the muscle tissues in some areas. On your right eye, you've got a lot of them through here, your jaw, your neck, going all the way down the thyroid into your esophagus. So you have it scattered. And your back too, I think. A lot in your back, more than any other place."
---
- Q: "Getting back to the eyes, the white spots in the eyes are all infections?"
Aajonus: "In the outer and the lymph area right near the skin all those are lymph glands. The outer gray line. So the spots that are right there, those are lymph glands that are trying to break down matter. Those are infections in those glands. So those are very active, good glands. But they are dealing with a lot of garbage, to be that active, to have that much infection going on."
- ---
[On the meaning of brown spots in the iris, contrasted with lighter spots:]
- Q: "And the darker they are, the more it's moving toward the cirrhosed condition, more toxic, more broken down?"
Aajonus: "Yes."
- Q: "And then the brown will eventually turn into a black spot? Is a black, dead spot a further development of a brown, toxic spot?"
Aajonus: "No. No. Usually it will form into cancer. It will stay that way. It doesn't go darker. That's as dark as I've ever seen it get."
- ---
[On the difference between spots and lesions in the iris:]
- Q: "What is the difference between a brown spot and a lesion?"
Aajonus: "A lesion is an area where there is no coloring and it's flat and dark."
- Q: "Black?"
Aajonus: "It doesn't have to be black. It can just be a dull blue, dark blue, a dull gray blue. It's just a flat area with no fibers going through it. A brown spot without fibers means that probably the person has cirrhosis of the liver."
- ---
[On mercury spots in the iris from vaccines:]
- Attendee observation during slide presentation: "You can see the mercury spots in there, the black ones. You can see a few of them here, and here, and here."
Aajonus: "And you see what it's doing to all the tissue around. Killed it."
- ---
[On penicillin appearing in the iris:]
- Aajonus: "Two yellow spots in the brain from penicillin. Penicillin is one of the worst things we start our children off with because that mold regrows. Molds could get through anything. But even when it's sterilized, that penicillin mold, when it's in our bodies 6 to 18 months later it is growing. And it grows in every part of our body and it causes massive amounts of brain damage and intestinal problems. Any kid, any person that has digestive problems it's always antibiotics 90% of the time it's penicillin. It shows up yellow in the eye. Very toxic stuff."
---
- [On his own eye detoxification over time:]
Aajonus: "I had two spots, three spots still in my eyes, two penicillin spots in my brain, which were yellow, and one black spot that was brownish, that was black and became brown and light brown in my prostate. After these injections, now I've got two huge spots that shows metal poisoning spots and other toxicity from industrial solvents and other things in my body that weren't there before the injections."
- ---
[On the iridology process and matching spots to organs:]
- Q: "Does that brown spot or lesion have to be right [on the chart location]?"
Aajonus: "I will find in some people that the liver will be down here or up here at 8:00 o'clock. So you have to really take a look... you have to adjust. This is just a kind of approximation. So, what you do is see where the things are and you see where those lesions and those problems fall and you have to ask questions so you know where the symptoms lie. So the symptoms have to match."
