Colic is not a disease or a disorder in the conventional sense. It is the body's symptomatic expression of a depleted intestinal bacterial environment combined with a toxic overload being transferred from mother to infant, either through gestation, through breast milk, or through the feeding of processed, pasteurized, or otherwise compromised food substances. The crying, bloating, gas, spitting up, vomiting, constipation, gagging, and general distress that constitute what medicine calls "colic" or "GERD" or "gassy baby syndrome" are, in Aajonus's framework, the infant's body doing exactly what it is supposed to do under conditions of toxicity and bacterial deficiency. The infant body is attempting to detoxify and digest simultaneously without the proper microbial tools to do so efficiently.

Colic is, fundamentally, a bacterial-deficiency condition. One in every five babies suffers colic, according to Aajonus's references from pediatric literature dating to the early 1900s. Pediatricians learned in that era that pasteurized cow's milk was often the reason. Aajonus frames this as a confirmation of terrain theory: the problem was never the milk itself, but what was done to the milk, sterilization destroying the living bacteria that the infant's gut requires to digest food, assimilate fats, and develop the nervous system. Colic in the context of raw milk feeding is also possible and is explained not by the milk being harmful but by the state of the infant's gut, which may be so bacterially depleted from the mother's diet, vaccines, and environmental exposures that even the living bacteria in raw milk provoke a detoxification crisis as the body dumps accumulated toxins into the stomach to be expelled.

Teething, in Aajonus's framework, is not merely a mechanical process of teeth breaking through gum tissue. It is a metabolic event signaling that the infant is ready to increase protein consumption. The emergence of teeth is the body's indicator that the digestive system has matured enough to process more complex foods, specifically, glandular and muscle proteins like liver. The irritability, swollen gums, and bleeding sometimes associated with teething are also read through the lens of detoxification: heavy metals and other toxins stored in the brain discharge outward through the gums, the tongue, the salivary enzymes, and the sinuses. In infants, this process is initiated whenever neurological and dental development proceeds against a backdrop of toxin accumulation from gestation or early feeding history.

The root cause of infant colic, in all its variations, is a low intestinal bacterial count. When an infant's gut bacteria are insufficient, the body must rely on digestive acids instead of bacteria to break down food. Digestive acids produce enormous amounts of gas. This gas causes bloating, pain, cramping, and the characteristic crying and arching that conventional medicine labels as colic, GERD, or reflux.

The reason any particular infant has a low intestinal bacterial count is rooted in the mother's history:

1. The Mother's Diet: Women raised on the Standard American Diet (SAD) have depleted, dysbiotic intestinal flora themselves. What bacteria they pass to their infants during birth and early feeding is already compromised. Aajonus states explicitly: "I suggest that all women raised on SAD foods do NOT breast-feed their babies. Toxins will always be traveling into the mammary glands and contaminating the milk. Also, the mammary glands are defective because of their development on SAD foods."

2. Toxin Transfer During Gestation: Toxins accumulated in the mother's body over her lifetime are transferred to the infant during gestation. These include heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, pesticides, herbicides, asbestos particles, and any other environmental contaminants the mother has accumulated. The infant arrives in the world already carrying a toxic burden it must then process. Ninety percent of these toxins are designed to leave through the skin, hence the rashes and zits that accompany the other symptoms. The remainder work their way through the gut, dumping into the stomach to be expelled through vomiting or into the intestinal tract to cause gas and bowel difficulties.

3. Breast Milk Toxicity: If the mother is still on a SAD or contaminated diet while breastfeeding, she continues to transfer toxins to the infant through the mammary glands. Aajonus notes that the mammary glands are actually designed to draw toxins from the body, this is part of why breasts are particularly effective at accumulating industrial chemicals and heavy metals. When a mother eats poorly, the milk she produces is a vehicle for ongoing toxin transfer even after birth.

4. Pasteurized Milk: Colic is directly linked to pasteurized milk feeding in Aajonus's sources. Pasteurization destroys the living bacteria, enzymes, and bioavailable nutrients in milk. The infant gut, already bacterially depleted, receives a dead liquid devoid of the microbial assistance it requires. Additionally, processed formulas, boiled milks, canned milks, and powdered milks compound the damage by introducing processing chemicals, heavy metals, and other industrial byproducts.

5. Medical Interventions That Compound the Damage: Sodium bicarbonate (the active ingredient in gripe water), Maalox, Prevacid, and similar interventions neutralize stomach acid, which is the infant's primary digestive mechanism when intestinal bacteria are low. Aajonus states: "Neutralizing stomach acid, which is his main source of digesting food at this time, is stupid and very harmful." Furthermore, antibiotics, even administered to premature infants or used around birth, destroy intestinal bacteria. The loss of intestinal bacteria from a single antibiotic course in an infant can arrest the development of the digestive tract for four to five years, which in turn arrests mental and neurological development because the body must divert all resources away from the brain and nervous system to attempt rebuilding the gut. Aajonus explicitly states: "the mental capabilities of that child are going to be deprived because the body's not going to lose all that it has to out of the digestive tract in the rest of the body, the nervous system is going to falter."

6. Rice Cereal and Other Processed Additions: Rice cereal added to infant bottles is "heavily processed and full of processing chemicals" and should not be used. It does not resolve gas; it introduces chemical residues that the infant's developing gut cannot handle.

Teething discomfort and the associated swollen, bleeding gums in infants and toddlers are driven by the same mechanism that drives dental problems in adults: the discharge of heavy metals and other toxic minerals from the brain, through the nervous system, outward into the gums, tongue, and saliva. Aajonus states explicitly that dental decay is never bacterially caused, bacteria come in after the damage is done, to clean up deteriorated tissue. The heavy metals (mercury, lead, thallium) damage the dentine cells; bacteria then consume the dead tissue. In infants, this process begins as the first teeth emerge and the body begins the neurological discharge process for the first time.

An infant described as having "gums still really swollen and bleeding occasionally, and white spots in the mouth" represents this same toxic discharge process. The body is pushing industrial and/or vaccine-derived toxic compounds out through the oral mucosa.

Infant colic and teething difficulties belong primarily in the following framework principles:

Root Cause / Terrain Theory: The condition originates in bacterial depletion, toxin accumulation, and the consequences of processed food. The infant does not have a disease, the infant has a terrain that has been compromised before it even entered the world.

Cooked Food / Processed Food: Pasteurized milk, formulas, rice cereal, and the mother's SAD diet are the direct material causes. The destruction of bacteria and enzymes through heat processing creates the bacterially deficient environment in the infant's gut.

Detoxification: Most of what presents as colic symptoms, vomiting, spitting up, skin eruptions, diarrhea, crying, gas, are detoxification processes. The body is moving toxins received during gestation and/or breast feeding out through every available channel. This is not pathology to be suppressed; it is biology to be supported.

Microbes: The entire colic framework rests on understanding bacteria as essential, life-sustaining, and digestively irreplaceable. The terror of bacteria that conventional medicine promotes, antibiotic use, sterilized formulas, anti-bacterial everything, is the precise mechanism that creates the bacterial deficiency behind colic. The infant who gets antibiotics for a 102-degree fever loses years of digestive and neurological development capacity because the bacteria that would have built its gut are eliminated.

Sovereignty: Aajonus advises parents to resist conventional medical interventions including gripe water, sodium bicarbonate, Maalox, Prevacid, antibiotics, and rice cereal additions. He explicitly states that parents who call conventional medical friends for advice are getting people who "know nothing and simply parrot the panic that is instilled in every doctor during internship in emergency wards." He assures parents that "people survive such symptoms all over the world where medical intervention is unavailable to them."

When a baby has colic with continuous diarrhea for 36 hours on raw cow or goat milk:

First Line: - 2 tablespoons unsalted raw butter - ½ to 1 teaspoon unheated honey - Blend both into every cup of warm raw milk

This "usually corrected colic."

Second Line (if butter and honey do not resolve it): - ¼ teaspoon of raw ginger root juice (pressed with a garlic press) - Add to every cup of raw milk

Third Line (if colic persists even after butter, honey, and ginger): - 1 raw fertile egg - Blend with 2 ounces of raw milk (referenced but passage cuts off, this is the beginning of moving toward the full egg-based formula)

Aajonus refers to this formula repeatedly as "the liver baby formula in my recipe book under 'Baby Food.'" The components referenced across the Q&A sessions include:

• Liver
• Raw milk
• Honey
• Raw butter ("add a little butter, the glandular formula")

Critical preparation note: "Be sure to cut large holes in the nipple or he will struggle to get formula from the bottle." The formula is thick and requires a wider nipple opening.

Quantity guidance: "He can eat as much as he wants. There is a YouTube video of an 18-month-old who drinks 12 oz bottles of it daily. As much as he will eat at once and as often as he cries for food. I have one child who, at age 7, still makes that his main food. How much depends on the baby."

If liver causes vomiting: One documented case where the infant vomited severely every time liver was introduced. After multiple trial attempts, Aajonus's approach was to present the formula with the liver and monitor. After one successful feeding of about 4 ounces (2 oz in the morning, 2 oz around noon), the baby "puked after that feeding" and the vomit contained "a big chunk of clustered-up milk, almost like what you would find in an old bottle of milk, all clumped into one piece." The infant did not cry afterward and went to sleep. Aajonus's response: "He was able to totally discharge the toxins. They did not remain in his stomach to cause gaseous swelling. I suggest that you continue with the liver formula as much as possible."

When the same infant continued to vomit severely on liver: The mother eventually tried removing the liver and doing more raw milk without liver, with "a little butter, a dab of honey, raw cream and whey raw kefir." Aajonus's eventual guidance was that "milk is still the major source of food until 4 years of age" and that meats can be added by chewing them and feeding to babies.

For puréed protein: Raw sirloin can be puréed and offered once the infant has teeth coming in. Liver shake is also an option.

For infants who cannot digest raw milk alone: - 2 ounces unheated honey - 4 tablespoons unsalted raw butter - Blend with half a gallon of raw milk

This makes the milk digestible for babies who cannot handle even raw milk on its own.

For infants who cannot digest pasteurized milk, raw milk, OR the raw milk/honey blend: Aajonus describes one Korean infant case where all of these failed. He turned to raw egg diluted in water as the starting point (see below).

From the newsletters: "I describe one case in my book WWTL where a raw egg was diluted in 2 ounces of good drinking water to start the baby on raw foods. Egg, raw whole milk (as kefir is fine) and a tiny amount of unheated honey should be the limit of exploration when trying to get an infant's or child's digestive system working properly."

Aajonus describes his most effective protocol for infants with digestive problems, which produced results "five times better" than standard kefir:

"When I gave them their saliva, because what I can do is get them to suck and then I pull the spit out of their mouth. I hold them down like this, like when they drool. So I just force them to drool when I get their spit. And then I put it in about five ounces of milk. So I was feeding them that and I would take that and put it in, keep it going that way. And it was for that baby. Bacteria was specifically that baby."

The process: Collect the infant's own saliva by inducing drooling or having the infant suck and then extracting the saliva. Place this saliva in approximately 5 ounces of milk. Feed this milk mixture back to the infant. The infant's own salivary bacteria, their unique, personalized microbial population, are then introduced into the milk and multiplied, then fed back to the infant. This creates a culture that is specifically matched to that infant's biology. The results were five times better than using standard cow kefir bacteria.

This protocol is based on Aajonus's principle that you cannot be afraid of bacteria, that bacteria are essential, and that the infant's own saliva contains the exact bacterial strains that belong in that particular baby's system.

When diarrhea is the presenting symptom:

Starting point: - 2 tablespoons no-salt raw cheese (not cheddar) - 6 ounces raw whole milk (no honey) - Blend together

"If diarrhea has not reduced within 12 hours, I suggest blending 3 T. no-salt raw cheese with 6 ounces raw whole milk."

Important: "As soon as the body stops using diarrhea as a method of detoxification, stop utilizing cheese with the milk. Otherwise, very dry fecal matter that is difficult to pass might result."

"Some babies that are toxic when they go through cold winters, I'll tell the mother to feed them cheese with just a tiny bit of butter."

Critical note: "Infants usually have problems with cheese. It will dry them. So you have to do the suppository with infants."

This means: if cheese is given to help bind and remove poisons from the body, the cheese will dry the fecal matter so severely that a suppository must accompany the protocol.

When infants have hard, dry fecal matter that causes crying, screaming, grunting, and straining:

• 1 tablespoon no-salt raw butter
• 1 tablespoon coconut cream
• 1 tablespoon dairy cream

"Inject a little no-salt raw butter or raw cream into the sigmoid colon with a tiny bulb syringe. Bulb syringes that are used to clean ears are perfect."

This can also be performed with the above three-ingredient combination: "I suggest that you give him a suppository of 1 T. each of no-salt raw butter, coconut cream and dairy cream. That way the intestinal bacteria won't have to hold the feces so long to get as much fat as possible. His colon bacteria will love it because it is fresh fat and not the little left over from the small intestines."

Frequency guidance: "It could be every two days that you have to do it at first, after a couple of weeks, then every three to four days, then every week, and then eventually when you've got such a population and you're eating very good and always supplying good fats, enough to get to the bowel, you'll never have constipation again."

Rationale: The colon bacteria are holding fecal matter because they are desperate for fat. They are not releasing what little they have because the nervous system is so fat deficient that the bacteria are trying to extract every molecule of fat possible before releasing the matter. By delivering fat directly to the colon via suppository, the bacteria receive what they need directly and release the fecal matter. "Those bacteria are very happy getting everything they need."

Cheese absorbs poisons in the intestinal tract, but it also dries fecal matter. For infants specifically, cheese must always be paired with butter (to offset the drying effect), and if constipation still results, the suppository method is essential. "Infants usually have problems with cheese. It will dry them."

"Rather than the rice cereal, which is heavily processed and full of processing chemicals, masticate 1/4 tsp. no-salt raw cheese for him and feed it to him once or twice daily."

The mother or caregiver chews the cheese first to introduce their own salivary bacteria and enzymes into it, then feeds this pre-masticated portion to the infant. This is consistent with Aajonus's broader teaching about the role of saliva in inoculating infants with beneficial bacteria.

"After vomiting, let him sip on a little Perrier water, without the carbonation, mixed with some raw milk, about 1:3 respectively." (1 part Perrier to 3 parts raw milk.)

"I suggest that you simply use the same formula for vomit as I suggested above for diarrhea. I do not suggest re-feeding the infant or child her/his vomit."

"Apply a small hot water bottle to his stomach to increase peristalsis and digestion." This is given as a direct practical recommendation for gas, bloating, and poor peristalsis in infants.

"You notice when a child starts drinking from a cup, they have more gas if they're drinking raw milk... they don't digest as well. They don't get as many nutrients from the milk. So, that's when they stop sucking. So, you can encourage them to keep sucking when they have their milk." Sucking draws bacteria from the salivary glands into the milk, improving digestion. "Like I suck through my mouth and my teeth and tongue to draw the bacteria out of the salivary glands." This means keeping infants on nipple-based feeding as long as possible, or encouraging a sucking motion even when transitioning.

"Yes, cutting teeth indicates that he could use a bit more protein such as the liver. He does not need anything else other than what you are giving him now, with a bit of liver added."

"Solids can be added about 2 months after all of his teeth are in and settled. However, he will always get more nutrients with less food if meats are pureed for him. He will not need much fruit or other foods."

One documented case study: A 12-month-old girl diagnosed by a pediatrician with anemia, retardation, and oversized liver. After 3 months on prescribed supplements, iron, and specialty formulas, she showed less strength, more irritability, mental regression, and restless sleep.

Aajonus placed "a golf-ball-sized amount of finely chopped beef in front of her and let her play with it. Within 15 minutes, she consumed the beef. She took more from the wrapper and ate it."

Prescribed protocol: "The child eat only raw beef, raw milk, unsalted raw butter and a little unheated honey."

Result: "She improved immediately. Within 2½ months her energy level, mental aptitude and liver were normal. Now, three years later and mainly having continued the diet, she is very advanced physically, mentally, socially and psychically."

Child was receiving raw milk, honey, and olive oil through an eyedropper at 8-12 oz/day. She had lost 4 pounds and was extremely irritable.

Aajonus's response: Remove the olive oil (solvent reactive and irritating to infants). The raw dairy was causing detoxification of "those harsh compounds that she received the first 4 months of her life." He predicted the detoxification irritability "is doubtful that it will last more than a month."

The mixture recommended: milk, honey, without the olive oil.

"First colostrum has more butter fat. Regular colostrum has more cream fat. It is more difficult to digest cream than butter so a newborn is given about 5 days of various stages of colostrum until it can digest cream. Cream is very important for the brain and nervous system. If he consumes butter, cream and milk, and his digestion is good, he does not need expensive colostrum. If his feces are well formed and does not stink horrifically, he is probably digesting well."

Raw whole milk as kefir is acceptable in the infant formulas: "Egg, raw whole milk (as kefir is fine) and a tiny amount of unheated honey." Kefir introduces additional bacteria and is somewhat pre-digested, which can make it easier for bacterially deficient infants to process.

---

"Most of his symptoms will disappear after 6 months. That is usually the length of time an infant's body will focus on detoxifying when it receives the nutrients it needs."

"Until his digestive bacteria increase and are predominant, he will have those symptoms." The transition from acid-dependent to bacteria-dominant digestion takes time. The timeline is not specified precisely beyond the 6-month general guideline, but the implication is that symptoms resolve progressively as bacterial populations build. The suppository protocol may need to be used every 2 days initially, then every 3-4 days, then weekly, then eventually not needed at all, which implies a multi-week to multi-month establishment period for colon bacteria.

For the 2-year-old experiencing intense irritability upon introduction of raw dairy after months off it: "It is doubtful that it will last more than a month."

• Cutting bottom teeth: indicator that the infant can begin adding liver to the diet
• All teeth in and settled: solids can be added approximately 2 months after this point
• Raw milk remains "the major source of food until 4 years of age"
• An example given: "I have one child who, at age 7, still makes that [the liver/milk/honey formula] his main food"

For the mother whose bleeding gums began after childbirth and continued for 3.5 years: This represents a "major brain detoxification that has not" resolved yet (passage cuts off). This illustrates that the toxic metal discharge through gums and teeth, which is the same mechanism driving infant teething problems, can persist for years when the original toxic accumulation is significant.

For children under 22: Cavities can regenerate on the Primal Diet. Holes can heal. Aajonus has seen "lots of children's cavities fill in." This requires the child to be on the diet with "lots of dairy that was not refrigerated."

"She improved immediately. Within 2½ months her energy level, mental aptitude and liver were normal." This is a 2.5-month recovery from a diagnosis of anemia, retardation, and oversized liver on raw beef, raw milk, raw butter, and honey.

"It is better that he detoxifies one day every 10 until he has discarded those toxins." For infants with particularly severe toxin transfers during gestation, the detoxification is expected to be episodic, active one day out of every ten, rather than continuous.
