Aajonus fundamentally rejected the conventional medical framework for understanding blood sugar levels. He did not accept the premise that a blood test showing elevated or depressed glucose numbers constitutes a disease state by itself. His core position was that blood sugar levels, high or low, must be evaluated only in terms of the actual functional symptoms experienced by the person, and never on the basis of laboratory measurements alone.

High Blood Sugar (Hyperglycemia / "Diabetes")

Aajonus defined high blood sugar in functional terms: a person's blood sugar is truly problematically high only if the brain and nervous system are being disrupted in ways that produce cognitive impairment, inability to function, and systemic breakdown. A laboratory number in isolation means nothing. He stated directly: "A blood sugar level has nothing to do with the pancreas. It has to do with the way you eat."

He maintained that the body itself may need to keep blood sugar elevated for reasons that are entirely appropriate, particularly during detoxification or cleansing cycles. He stated: "When your body is not involved in cleansing processes, the blood-sugar levels can soar without any ill effects."

High blood sugar becomes a meaningful clinical issue, in his view, only when the sugars driving it are the wrong kind, specifically mutant, refined, or cooked sugars, not when the body is doing something rational with even elevated sugar levels. If someone has high blood sugar but can stand up, think, breathe fully, and function, they do not have a blood sugar problem in his framework.

He also identified a separate category of high blood sugar: stored toxic sugars being released from tissues. These sugars appear on blood tests as elevated glucose, but they are not dietary sugars being actively metabolized, they are old toxins being discharged. He demonstrated this experimentally with a client who had high blood sugar on a blood test. He instructed the client to stop all fruit and honey and eat only four ounces of nuts once a week, with no nut butter within two days of any blood test. Five weeks later, with zero carbohydrate intake, the blood sugar level was just as high. The doctor was dumbfounded. Aajonus's explanation: the high blood sugar was from toxic sugars stored in the system being released, not from dietary intake.

Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia)

Aajonus defined hypoglycemia as a condition in which the pancreas over-secretes insulin. The excess insulin binds with sugars and converts them to glycogen (storable sugar), pulling sugar out of the blood and producing functional symptoms of deficiency. He regarded this as often a precursor to diabetes proper, because the repeated over-stimulation of the pancreas by refined sugars eventually exhausts the gland.

He further identified that eating refined, cooked, or mutant sugars forces the pancreas to overproduce insulin even when blood sugar is low, because refined sugars enter the blood too fast and the body overreacts. This creates a cycle: sugar enters rapidly, pancreas overresponds, sugar crashes, person craves more sugar, cycle repeats.

He described the blood, lymph, and nerve serums becoming "sticky" from improperly processed sugars, which he called Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEPs). These sticky byproducts cause reduced bodily functions and contribute to what conventionally gets labeled as hypoglycemia.

The Real Measure

He stated the measurement standard explicitly and repeatedly: "The only measure of poor blood-sugar levels is whether you can function or not. If you literally cannot stand after lying or sitting for awhile, if you get extremely disoriented even after eating, and if breathing is all of the energy you can produce, you have a low blood-sugar problem that could be insulin-related. If you are able to get out of bed, literally, after a night's sleep, you do not have an insulin/glycogen problem."

Aajonus identified multiple interlocking causes of blood sugar dysregulation. These operate at different levels, dietary, chemical, pancreatic, neurological, and industrial.

Cause 1: Refined, Cooked, and Mutant Sugars

The primary cause of blood sugar problems at every level, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and pancreatic exhaustion leading to diabetes, is the consumption of refined sugars and processed carbohydrates. He explained the mechanism in detail:

Refined sugars are mutations. When they enter the blood, the body first attempts to convert them into a more natural sugar form. However, most of the refined sugar passes directly into the blood unchanged, as a mutant molecule. These mutant sugars over-stimulate both the liver and the pancreas. The pancreas overproduces insulin, even when blood sugar is already low, because it is responding to the abnormal quality of the sugar, not merely the quantity. Eventually, the bile and hormones like insulin bind with these sugars and strip them from the blood, causing hypoglycemia. Over time, the repeated over-stimulation exhausts the pancreas entirely, leading to diabetes.

He extended this to cooked starches and high-carbohydrate foods, which produce similar though somewhat slower-acting effects. He stated that anyone who eats sugars and processed carbohydrates of any kind will experience malfunctioning pancreatic responses periodically and fluctuating, very high sugar levels, without necessarily being diabetic.

Cause 2: Wrong Type of Glycogen, Carbohydrate-Based vs. Protein-Based

Aajonus drew a detailed distinction between two types of blood sugar:

• Carbohydrate-derived glycogen: When the body makes its blood sugar (glycogen) from carbohydrates, the process generates massive amounts of Advanced Glycation End Products. Columbia University (he cited specifically the Columbia University at University of New York City) found that 70 to 90% of the AGEPs produced by carbohydrate metabolism are stored in the body. This stored waste makes the blood, neurological fluids, and the synapse environment sticky and dysfunctional.

• Pyruvate (protein sugar): When the body forms glycogen from protein, a process involving glucagon, the byproduct is called pyruvate. Pyruvate-derived glycogen produces only 7 to 8% advanced glycation end products, and the body does not store them. The body manufactures only 7 to 8% of this waste, so it never accumulates. Columbia University also found that the 70 to 90% waste from carbohydrate metabolism stores in the body at that same 70 to 90% rate, meaning nearly all of it persists in tissues.

He stated dairy causes AGEPs at a much lower rate than grain carbohydrates, perhaps around 20%, placing it between protein and starchy carbohydrates in terms of glycation burden.

Cause 3: Pancreatic Malfunction from Dietary Abuse

The pancreas is designed to produce insulin in small amounts, a "minute process," in his words. When the body is forced to handle enormous quantities of high-carbohydrate food constantly, the pancreas must labor excessively to manufacture insulin to convert that sugar into glycogen. This either causes hyperactivity, ADHD, mania, manic-depression, and mood swings (when insulin is insufficient), or extreme fat accumulation (when insulin is sufficient and converts everything into storable glycogen).

He explained that insulin produced in response to wrong food, or synthetic/pig-derived medicinal insulin, never properly converts sugar into functional glycogen. Only a small percentage is properly utilized, and the rest is highly acidic. This poorly processed glycogen stores in the body, particularly in the extremities, leading eventually to tissue deterioration and gangrene.

Cause 4: Morning Glycogen Formation, The Critical Window

Aajonus identified a specific biological window, the first six to seven hours of the waking day, during which the body determines the character of its glycogen for the entire day. He stated that all glycogen formed to feed the brain and nervous system during this window will be determined by what was eaten during that period. If high-carbohydrate foods are consumed before noon, the body makes carbohydrate-derived glycogen with high AGEP byproducts that persist all day, making blood and neurological fluid sticky. If protein and fat are consumed during this window, the body makes pyruvate-derived glycogen with minimal AGEP byproducts, producing clear, functional neurological fluid all day.

Cause 5: Pharmaceutical Insulin Causing Further Deterioration

Medicinal insulin, whether derived from pigs or synthesized, causes poor sugar assimilation and metabolism, and causes the pancreas to further deteriorate. He explained that because the injected insulin bypasses the body's own regulatory systems, the body stops producing its own insulin, the pancreas weakens further, and the poorly metabolized sugars store in the extremities, causing tissue deterioration, eventual gangrene, and amputation. He saw this as the pharmaceutical industry's primary method of profiting from diabetes: each diagnosed diabetic generates $1,200 to $1,800 per month in insulin sales. With 30 to 58 million diagnosed diabetics in the United States (figures he cited across various contexts), this represented an enormous, reliable revenue stream.

Cause 6: Misdiagnosis from a Single or Temporary Test

He was emphatic that the vast majority of people diagnosed as diabetic were not actually diabetic. He described people coming to him who had gone for a blood sugar glucose tolerance test, failed it once or twice on consecutive days, and been placed on insulin for the rest of their lives. The explanation was simple: the pancreas was in a slump at the time of testing, possibly detoxifying. It was a temporary condition, not a permanent one. Their only symptoms might have been increased urination and tiredness, not the true signs of diabetes. The pharmaceutical and medical system had no interest in monitoring the situation over time; immediate medicalization served financial interests.

He stated across multiple transcripts that 80 to 90% of the diabetics who came to him were not diabetic at all. Their pancreases were completely functional. He specified: "9 out of 10 had never been diabetic in the first place. Taking it 25, 30 years, put them on a good diet, take them off the insulin, they're functioning normally, easily."

Cause 7: Alkalinity in the Blood

He identified an often-overlooked cause of blood sugar disturbance: over-alkalinity. Diabetics, he said, almost always have over-alkalinity in the blood. This creates conditions where vegetable juice by itself could be a problem for people with sugar difficulties, because it further alkalinizes an already over-alkaline system. The solution was to add cream to vegetable juices to balance the alkalinity for those with sugar problems.

Cause 8: Ancestral Diet and Genetic Breakdown

He dismissed the notion of genetic predisposition to diabetes as a fixed, immutable fate, but acknowledged a pattern running in families. His explanation: not a genetic inheritance, but a breakdown in genes caused by generation upon generation following the same problematic diet. The diet predisposition accumulates across generations, expressing as "genetic" diabetes that is actually a dietary pattern disease. He noted that diabetes ran in his own family, eight cousins were diabetic by age ten.

---

Blood sugar dysregulation, whether high or low, belongs primarily in the following framework principles:

Root Cause / Terrain Theory: The foundational cause is dietary, specifically the consumption of refined, cooked, and mutant sugars and high-carbohydrate processed foods. This is a terrain-level analysis: it is not about the blood sugar number itself but about what is creating the internal chemical environment.

Cooked Food: Refined sugars, cooked starches, pasteurized products (described as "flash pasteurized" creating mutant sugars), and processed carbohydrates are all in the cooked and industrially altered food category. These are the primary drivers of the condition.

How to Eat: The specific timing, sequencing, pairing, and quantities of foods, particularly the morning protein-first protocol, always eating fruit with fat, limiting fruit to once daily, and understanding the first six-to-seven-hour window, belong here.

Sovereignty: The broad critique of pharmaceutical intervention, insulin sales as a profit mechanism, misdiagnosis based on single tests, and the instruction not to take measurements as the final word on your health, all of this is about reclaiming health sovereignty against the medical-pharmaceutical complex.

Detoxification: The phenomenon of stored toxic sugars appearing on blood tests as elevated glucose, and the confusion this creates when people eliminate dietary sugar yet blood sugar remains high, is a Detoxification issue. The body is cycling old stored sugars out of tissues.

---

High Blood Sugar on a Lab Test (Asymptomatic)

Aajonus flatly rejected the clinical significance of a high blood sugar reading in the absence of functional symptoms. He cited his own experience: "I have high blood sugar all the time but I'm not diabetic." He stated that probably half the people in a room of Primal Diet followers would be put on medication if they let a doctor interpret their glucose tolerance tests.

He cited specific examples of so-called diabetics with 300 or 320 blood sugar levels who were entirely asymptomatic, no ill symptoms of diabetes at all. His framing: this is the pharmaceutical industry's method of creating lifelong medication dependency.

High Blood Sugar on a Lab Test During Detox

He described a separate scenario in which high blood sugar on a test reflects stored toxic sugars being released from body tissues during a cleansing cycle. These sugars appear as elevated glucose but are not being circulated or utilized, they are in transit out of the body. He noted that when his own blood was analyzed at the technician level for the quality and availability of those high sugar readings, 90% of those sugars were not even available, they were attached to fat molecules and had never been released for use. They couldn't have been utilized even by insulin-sensitive systems.

True Diabetic Symptoms (The Only Real Indicators)

He was precise about what constitutes a genuine functional blood sugar crisis: - Inability to get out of bed - Inability to get off the couch - Inability to think straight - Inability to breathe adequately (breathing becomes the limit of available energy - Complete disorientation even after eating - Cannot stand after lying or sitting without extreme difficulty or dizziness

He stated: "If you have the problem of getting out of bed because you absolutely have no energy and you can't think straight, you've got diabetes. Those are the true signs of diabetes. And the only signs of diabetes."

Dizziness on Standing

He described extreme dizziness upon standing in the morning as most often a simple low blood sugar condition from a full night without eating, not an indication of diabetes or serious pathology. His immediate remedy: a large glass of orange juice mixed with certified raw cream.

Mood Swings and Emotional Instability

He described the behavioral consequences of true blood sugar instability in his own diabetic history: "The behavior with it when you're diabetic is you're emotional. You're never relaxed. You're never at ease. Sugar level's going up and down all the time. One minute, you can be screaming with a knife in your hand and you're going to kill somebody. The next minute, you're loving and kissing them." He connected high sugar intake from carbohydrates to manic behavior, ADHD, and manic-depression.

He described an experiment he conducted on himself: eating a lot of sweet fruit and getting "pretty manic," having high sugar spikes but without functional symptoms of crisis, and correlating this with the carbohydrate glycation burden.

Excessive Urination and Tiredness

He acknowledged these as symptoms that might accompany a temporarily high blood sugar state but distinguished them sharply from true diabetes. He said people were being put on insulin for life because they had excessive urination and tiredness during what was simply a period when the pancreas was detoxifying or in a slump. Unless accompanied by the core functional collapse symptoms he described, these alone did not indicate diabetes.

Shaking from Low Blood Sugar

He described his own experience during glucose tolerance tests: shaking, disorientation, inability to write, head shaking. But he was careful to note that as time passed and his pancreas drove the sugar level lower and lower, rather than getting worse (as would happen in true hypoglycemic crisis), he became calmer. By the end of two and a half hours, he stopped shaking entirely without eating anything. He then drank raw milk to heal the body. This demonstrated to him that his pancreas working hard to remove sugar was not a pathological crisis, it was healthy pancreatic function in overdrive against a toxic sugar load.

Heart Palpitations and Juice

He described his own experience of drinking more than eight ounces of juice in the morning causing heart palpitations, "my heart will go like this." He interpreted this not as a diabetic reaction but as the opposite: utilizing too many sugars (not the diabetic inability to utilize sugars), combined with minerals being pulled out. His solution was to add an egg or a little cream to the juice, or to reduce the juice quantity.

Hyperactivity, Anxiety, Impatience, Irritability

He described these symptoms as indicating one of two things: either overproduction of adrenaline and other stimulants, or blood fat level so low that the body's own acids are irritating the nerves. His recommended response was cooked starch with lots of raw fat and/or raw meat.

Headache, Nausea, No Appetite

He attributed these most often to blood that is over-acidic and/or toxic. His recommendation was no-salt-added raw cheese, fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice, unheated honey, and naturally carbonated water. Sometimes a salad or fresh raw vegetable juice was also helpful.

Muscle Cramps Shortly After Eating Sweets

He listed this as a symptom of impaired carbohydrate or protein blood-sugar utilization due to insufficient or faulty insulin production.

Wounds Healing Slowly

Also listed as a diabetic symptom, attributed to poor sugar assimilation and metabolism.

Frequent Hunger and Vision Impairment

Listed as accompanying symptoms of impaired ability to utilize carbohydrate or protein blood-sugar.

Improperly Constructed Insulin in the System

In one consultation, he observed a client whose red blood cells were not working properly and identified improperly constructed insulin in the system as the cause. He recommended Jerusalem artichokes, grated and eaten with a little olive oil and some cheese, to chelate with the improperly constructed insulin, break it down, and remove it. He specified cow dairy rather than goat dairy for this client, explaining that goats are not calm animals and goat dairy tends to make certain people anxious, something he did not want to add to an already diabetically unstable system.

Stickiness in Blood and Neurological Fluid

He described the physiological mechanism of high-carbohydrate blood sugar in detail: "What happens when you get high sugars in the blood? The blood thickens and gets sticky. The blood moves slower. The cells will stick to each other. And there's not proper movement and proper transporting of oxygen and waste products out of the blood. So it slows everything down, makes you more lethargic."

He described synaptic consequences: "The cell, the firings, the synapse firing, the axons, the synapse, when they fire, they can misfire. They can send the charges in a wrong direction. A lot of people that lose their train of thought are either deficient in blood sugar, too much sugar, and they're firing in the wrong areas of the memory, or to have the analysis."

Cancer and Blood Sugar

He connected the Advanced Glycation End Products from carbohydrate metabolism to cancer, explaining that the stored sugar residues break down the mineral balance in the body, cause tissue fragility, death of cells, and collection of mummified cells, which he defined as tumors. Cancer, he said, "seems to thrive in a sugar environment" precisely because of this mechanism.

The Foundational Principle: Morning Meat First

The single most important protocol element for blood sugar regulation is the morning meat meal. Aajonus was explicit: Do not eat high-carbohydrate food for the first six to seven hours of the waking day. During this window, the body determines the character of the glycogen that will feed the brain and nervous system for the entire day. Eating only meat, eggs, and fat during this period ensures the body manufactures pyruvate-based glycogen with only 7 to 8% AGEP byproduct. This produces clear, clean neurological fluid and blood for the full day.

He described it in practical terms: meat meal early in the morning, perhaps with eggs, "steak and eggs, like a cowboy", to give the body the material from which to make protein sugar (pyruvate). He said: "So you'll never have a high sugar content in your neurological system unless you sit there and eat a whole plateful of fruit sometime later in the day."

He allowed dairy (eggs and raw dairy) in the morning but cautioned about milk, as it contains lactose (milk sugar) that can contribute to glycogen formation and some AGEP accumulation. He acknowledged this was somewhat contradictory given milk's overall benefits, but noted it was a concern for those wanting to minimize morning glycation.

The No-High-Carbohydrate-Before-Noon Rule

No nuts, no milk with high lactose content, no high-carrot juice, no fruit, no sweet vegetables, nothing high in carbohydrate for the first six to seven hours of the day. The carbohydrates allowed were those near-zero in sugar: celery, zucchini, cucumber, parsley, comfrey in vegetable juices.

He stated: "Celery does not have enough carbohydrate to even digest celery. So it's a negative. It's a minus carbohydrate food." Adding parsley or comfrey raises the sugar level only slightly, to no more than 5% of the juice.

Raw Fat With All Fruit: Always

This is non-negotiable in his protocol. Every time fruit is eaten, it must be accompanied by raw fat. He explained the mechanism: "When I eat raw fat with fruit, my blood sugar level doesn't get too high because the fat time-releases the fruit sugar into my blood for better equilibrium and therefore I don't have the sugar top and drop, I don't have to eat constantly to keep sugar in my blood, and I get two to three times more energy than when I eat fruit alone."

The fat binds to the sugar, slowing its absorption into the blood so that rather than a rapid spike followed by a crash, the sugar is released gradually over time, maintaining equilibrium. Without fat, fruit sugar enters the blood all at once, triggering a large insulin response, and the resulting low creates cravings for more sugar, a self-reinforcing cycle.

Fruit: Once Per Day

For anyone with any blood sugar problem, diabetes, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, mania, any type of sugar problem, he recommended limiting sweet fruit to once per day. He stated this explicitly and repeatedly: "Anybody who has a sugar problem I suggest that they do it. Diabetes, hyperglycemia, any type of sugar problem, mania, do it. Have fat with it. Slow it down. So it doesn't cause the brain problems."

The exception: unripe fruit. He noted that unripe fruit (like green bananas) has minimal sugar. Apes eating green bananas were very calm; monkeys eating sweet ripe fruits were erratic and volatile.

If Making a Smoothie With High-Sugar Fruit

Even in a smoothie, before adding eggs, he specified putting in some raw butter or raw oil first, to begin the fat-binding process before the sugar is consumed.

Unheated Honey: The Primary Blood Sugar Regulator

Aajonus gave honey a specific and central role in blood sugar management:

• For hypoglycemia: 3 to 4 ounces of unheated honey daily, spread throughout the day. This supplies enzymes to regulate and heal both the pancreas and the liver. He stated that unheated honey "replaces the functions of insulin missing in the blood while it heals the pancreas and encourages pancreatic functions."

• For detoxification events when sugar drops: During detoxification cycles, the body rushes toxic sugars into an area, robs the brain and nervous system of fuel, and blood sugar can plummet. He stated: "You need a lot of honey to bring it up." He included honey specifically in detox support formulas for this reason.

• For true type 1 diabetics: He recommended approximately 3/4 cup throughout each day of unheated honey to replace insulin function while healing the pancreas. He was specific that this must be unheated honey, heated honey becomes a mutant sugar and is counterproductive.

• For those wanting to get carbohydrate needs met without fruit: He described eating so much honey himself that he got his 5% carbohydrate requirement entirely from honey, rather than fruit.

Raw Milk: The Foundational Rebuilder

He described a protocol from medical history (attributed to a famous physician he mentioned) in which nothing but raw milk, for six to ten weeks, would completely eliminate diabetes. He acknowledged this was from a less toxic era and that most people today are too toxic for this alone to work, but the principle remained central. His own reversal of type 1 diabetes began with drinking raw milk. He stated: "Start eating, drinking raw milk. In a week I was off again, so haven't taken it since", meaning off insulin permanently.

The Low Blood Sugar Emergency Formula: Three Components Together

For someone with low blood sugar, particularly hypoglycemia caused by excess insulin from candy or sugar consumption, he prescribed a specific three-part combination taken simultaneously: 1. Cooked starch (his example: French bread) 2. Raw fat 3. Fresh fruit

The mechanism he described: The cooked starch goes in and binds with the excess insulin. The raw fat then binds with that insulin-starch complex and takes it to the bowels for elimination, so it doesn't store as glycogen again. The raw sugar from the fruit is time-released because it is mixed in with all of that and attaches itself to fats, preventing it from entering the blood all at once. The blood sugar is thus kept at a stable, even level.

He confirmed these must be taken together, not separately.

For Low Blood Sugar in the Morning: Orange Juice With Raw Cream

He described giving a person in the morning who was dizzy from low blood sugar a large glass of orange juice mixed with certified raw cream. This addressed both the immediate sugar need and the fat requirement to prevent a spike-and-crash.

Vegetable Juice With Cream for Sugar Problems

For anyone with a sugar problem, meaning they may have over-alkalinity (which diabetics almost always have), he specified always adding a tablespoon or two of cream to vegetable juice. The cream balances the alkalinity and prevents the juice from creating further imbalance.

Wheatgrass Juice With Raw Milk for Diabetic-Type Chemical Conditions

In one specific consultation for a person with diabetic-type chemical conditions in the blood but with a pancreas that was "in okay shape" yet not forming proper insulin, he recommended: two ounces of wheatgrass juice with a quart of raw milk, three days per week. The purpose was to help acidify the blood slightly and to utilize the growth hormone potential in wheatgrass to support pancreatic function.

Jerusalem Artichokes for Improperly Constructed Insulin

For clients whose system contained improperly constructed insulin creating problems for the red blood cells, he prescribed Jerusalem artichokes, grated, eaten with a little olive oil and some cheese (cow dairy specifically, not goat). This combination works to chelate with the improperly constructed insulin, break it down, and remove it from the system.

Raw Meat: The Best Resolution for Blood Sugar Depression

He stated explicitly: "The best way to resolve the blood-sugar problems that cause depression is to eat a lot of raw meat." When the body forms blood sugars from meat, the resulting pyruvate blood sugar creates low-sugar byproducts, allowing clean body serums, including in the nerves.

He recommended 1 to 3 pounds of meat daily for himself, acknowledging that there were days he ate none, but holding that as the general target. He attributed his clear neurological function largely to the protein-sugar approach.

Berries: The Safe Fruit

He consistently recommended berries as the preferred fruit for those with sugar problems, because berries (raspberries, mulberries, boysenberries, blueberries, blackberries, smaller natural strawberries) are low in carbohydrates as long as they are not overly ripe and not highly hybridized. He himself stated: "I eat very little fruit anymore and it's usually berries if I eat fruit."

Small Frequent Meals

For hypoglycemia specifically, he recommended eating small amounts of food frequently rather than large infrequent meals, to prevent the blood sugar from swinging too far in either direction between meals.

Carrot Juice: Selective Use for Diabetics

He acknowledged that people with diabetes need a slightly higher carbohydrate level than average, about 10% rather than the standard 5%, and that a small amount of carrot (5 to 10% of a vegetable juice) could serve this purpose. However, he said he himself rarely used carrot juice even though he was diabetic, preferring instead celery, zucchini, parsley, comfrey, and cucumber, all low-sugar vegetables.

Adrenaline and Blood Fat: The Connection

For states of hyperactivity, anxiety, impatience, or irritability (which may reflect either adrenaline overproduction or insufficient blood fat causing nerve irritation), he recommended cooked starch with lots of raw fat and/or raw meat. This was the formula to re-stabilize a nervous system being irritated by its own acids due to fat deficiency.

High Adrenaline Management with Starch, Fat, and Dates as Backup

In his own life, when dealing with a particularly high adrenaline state, he ate raw pistachio nuts with raw butter, raw egg, and unheated honey rather than cooked starches. However, he acknowledged this combination causes blood sugar to drop, so he kept non-steamed dates on the counter ready to eat, prepared in advance because he knew the drop was coming. He noted: "I'm glad most people's blood balance isn't as delicate as mine."

His Own Recovery: The Foundational Case Study

Aajonus's personal history provides the most detailed recovery timeline in his teachings. He was diagnosed as type 1 (juvenile) diabetic at approximately 15 to 15.5 years old, following his third polio vaccine. He was told he would be diabetic for life and that his pancreas would never work again. He took insulin from approximately age 15 until he was nearly 22 years old, approximately six to seven years of insulin dependency.

At age 22, he decided to handle his diet himself. Early dietary attempts included fruitarian eating (which was not easy as a diabetic) and various other approaches. He eventually moved to the raw diet, began drinking raw milk, and within approximately one week was off insulin, and never returned to it.

He did not know for decades whether his pancreas had actually rebuilt itself, because he avoided all sugar and thus had no way to test it. He stated: "I still had a problem when I would eat fruits, too many fruits, too often. And I would keep it down." This suggests the pancreatic healing was a long, gradual process spanning many years.

Approximately 42 years after stopping insulin (he was 22 when he stopped, and states he was 42+ at the time of his Washington University Medical School testing), when tested for the first time with a glucose tolerance test, his pancreas proved to be not merely functional but described by every medical team as the best-working pancreas they had ever seen in their entire careers.

He produced all four to five varieties of insulin (including one variety the medical team had not previously encountered) and brought his glucose level from the sugar water high (which he described variously as 240, 360, or 324, differences likely reflecting different test protocols at different institutions) all the way down to 52, 53, 54, or 57 (again varying slightly across accounts of different testing sessions), far below the normal stopping point of 102 to 104. The normal minimum before which tests are stopped is approximately 102 to 104; his pancreas did not stop there but drove the sugar well below 54.

This took multiple years of raw diet, with raw milk being the initial catalyst. The pancreas appeared to rebuild over an extended period, years to decades of proper nutrition.

For Non-True Diabetics (The Majority)

For the 80 to 90% of diagnosed diabetics who are not actually diabetic, those whose pancreas went into a temporary slump during testing, he stated that getting on a good diet and coming off insulin produces normal functioning "easily." The timeline he implied was relatively rapid once the pharmaceutical insulin was removed and proper nutrition began, though he did not specify exact timeframes for this population.

He mentioned specifically that historically (in a less toxic era), six to ten weeks of nothing but raw milk would completely eliminate diabetes.

Over 120 Cases: All Reversed

He stated he had worked with over 120 diabetics and that none of them were diabetic anymore. This represents his clinical record at the time of the statements. He gave no specific average timeline for reversal but implied it varied based on the severity of pancreatic damage and the degree to which the person was truly diabetic versus misdiagnosed.

The Detoxification Complication

He noted that during detoxification cycles, blood sugar can drop significantly because the body rushes toxic sugars into areas being cleansed, robbing the brain and nervous system of fuel. This requires ongoing honey supplementation during these periods and represents a temporary disruption of blood sugar stability that does not indicate the overall protocol is failing.

Rebuilding Proper Insulin Quality

For those who had taken pharmaceutical insulin for 25 to 30 years, even though the pancreas might resume function fairly readily once they were put on a good diet and taken off insulin, the quality of insulin produced might take longer to normalize. He described a client with all the symptoms of diabetic-type chemical conditions in the blood even with a pancreas that was "in okay shape", suggesting pancreatic function can be acceptable while insulin quality remains impaired, and that this intermediate state can persist for some time.

Type 2 and Insulin Resistance

He commented that Type 2 diabetes and insulin insensitivity were relatively easy cases compared to Type 1, "That's easy", implying faster and more complete resolution. He did not give specific timelines but the implication was that Type 1 rebuilding of a genuinely destroyed pancreas represents the outer limit of difficulty, and Type 2 or insulin resistance recovers more readily.
