Mineral deficiency, in Aajonus's framework, is not simply a matter of having low mineral counts on a laboratory test. Rather, it is a condition in which the body lacks sufficient biologically available, ionically active, enzyme-coupled minerals to carry out the full range of its metabolic, structural, and detoxification functions. The critical distinction Aajonus draws is between minerals that are bioactively coupled, meaning they are bound within a living food matrix alongside vitamins, proteins, fats, and other nutrients in a full ionic smorgasbord, and minerals that are in rock, metallic, cauterized, or isolated form, which the human body cannot absorb, utilize, or benefit from.

He explains this using a cellular model: every cell has one to two ions inside it, and it "eats" by osmosis, opening and attracting ions from outside. Those external ions are supposed to carry with them a full smorgasbord of 93 to 117 different elements and nutrients simultaneously. A cell is never supposed to receive isolated nutrients. When a potassium ion in a living food passes by a cell, it carries with it a little sodium, a little H2O, some vitamin A, a little carotene, and a whole matrix of other co-factors. That is how proper cellular nutrition works. Mineral deficiency occurs when this process is disrupted, either because the minerals have been cauterized and rendered non-functional by heat, or because rock minerals have been introduced that the body cannot process into usable ions, or because the body has been forced to consume its own mineral reserves to neutralize accumulated toxins.

Aajonus also emphasizes that mineral deficiency is virtually universal in people eating cooked and processed diets: "Everybody's going to be terribly deficient in minerals because they've been eating cooked foods." He is explicit that cooking food over-acidifies the body and destroys the alkalinizing minerals, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium, the four minerals most critical for neutralizing acidic and caustic compounds stored in the body. These minerals are still present in cooked food when analyzed in a laboratory, but they are in a cauterized, glass-like form that the body cannot use in the same way. As he says: "They will no longer alkalinize the balance, the alkaline, the acid environment. They're still there, but they're in cauterized form... What value is it if they're not utilized? They don't have that value."

The body requires alkalinizing minerals in vast quantities relative to the acidic toxic compounds it must neutralize. Aajonus states explicitly: "To neutralize one acidic, caustic compound, you may need twelve minerals. Twelve alkalinizing minerals. So the ratio is very great when you're toxic in the need for those alkalinizing minerals."

Aajonus identifies multiple overlapping root causes of mineral deficiency:

The primary cause is a diet of cooked and processed food. When food is heated, the minerals undergo a process Aajonus calls cauterization, they harden, become glass-like, and can no longer perform their ionic, malleable, buffering functions in the body. He describes this using the analogy of clay: "You see how clay is malleable. The body uses its vitamins and enzymes and most of your low temperature affected minerals at a very soft... [malleable state]." After cauterization, these minerals become "glass... slate... rock. No longer anything like it was before."

Different minerals cauterize at different temperatures. Aajonus specifies: - Phosphorus is damaged at 98 degrees Fahrenheit, the lowest of all the minerals he discusses. He notes that this is how they test whether something was properly pasteurized: they check the structure of phosphorus. If it's cauterized, it has been taken to about 140 degrees for 15 seconds. The phosphorus is then "completely hardened. It's like taking clay, malleable clay, and firing it at cone one. It's solid." - Potassium is altered at approximately 112 degrees Fahrenheit. - Iron does not really alter until it gets around 375 degrees. - Some minerals are damaged at even higher temperatures.

Phosphorus is described as "very important to help electrolytes in the body. Very helpful for keeping the bones soft and malleable and not brittle." Its loss through cooking is therefore particularly damaging.

The loss of these alkalinizing minerals from cooked food means that when toxins enter the body, the body has no external supply to neutralize them with. It is forced to rob its own mineral reserves.

When there is not enough bioavailable minerals in the diet to neutralize the acidic, caustic compounds accumulating in the body, particularly from cooked foods, environmental toxins, airborne pollutants, and metabolic byproducts, "the body's going to use minerals. They're going to take it out of your bone. They're going to start eating up your body to mineralize and neutralize those minerals, those acidic minerals that will dissolve the body."

The body specifically draws on the alkalinizing minerals, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium, robbing them from the bones. "So the bones are going to disintegrate. Little by little, osteoporosis. Happens to everybody because of our toxic world."

This is Aajonus's explanation for the universal nature of mineral deficiency in modern populations: it is not just a matter of not eating enough minerals, but of having such a high toxic load that the body constantly consumes its own mineral reserves to manage that toxicity.

Salt is identified as a major contributor to mineral deficiency and mineral imbalance. Aajonus explains that sodium ions clump together, preventing proper cellular absorption. When sodium ions clump, a cell that opens to eat by osmosis cannot attract the full ionic smorgasbord it needs. Instead of receiving 93 to 117 nutrients at once, it may receive only 15, 20, or 50 nutrients, causing "massive amounts of deficiencies. Cellular deficiencies. Cells are deficient."

He is explicit that even sea salt is problematic: "Even if it's sea salt, they say, we have all other minerals in it, but not in concentration. Your sodium is the thing that's concentrated, and not healthfully."

Salt also causes cellular dehydration, because when sodium ions arrive at the cell, the cell's magnetic field is reversed and it pulls ions out rather than drawing them in. Aajonus says he has not eaten salt since 1973.

He describes the damage of salt with a dramatic example: "Just put a lot of salt in your soil and you'll see what happens to the plants. And they're made to eat rock. Salt in that dirt will destroy 90% of all the plants on this planet."

Excessive water consumption is described as another cause of mineral deficiency and mineral leaching. "When you have water by itself, the body uses 10% and then those minerals start leaching onto healthy stuff in your body and then prevent it from being absorbed and utilized properly. It leaches the bloodstream, the neurological system, and the lymph."

He also states: "On my raw PD, drinking more than about ½ cup water daily leaches and dilutes nutrients in our digestive tracts and dehydrates cells rather than hydrates them."

Water dissolves the minerals in food and in the digestive tract, causing them to fractionate and preventing them from being absorbed as integrated smorgasbords.

This is one of Aajonus's most emphatic points. He argues that mineral supplements, whether calcium, magnesium, iron, dolomite, bone meal, colloidal minerals, or any other isolated or rock-derived mineral supplement, do not correct mineral deficiency. They make it worse.

His reasoning: "Plants eat rock, solid minerals. We do not. We eat minerals that are only bound biologically in a whole unit of food." When it rains, water dissolves rock so that plants can eat those dissolved minerals. Plants then transform those inorganic rock minerals into biological, organic, ionically active form. Animals eat plants and further transform and concentrate those minerals. Humans eat animals and plants and receive minerals in their fully biological form. At no stage are humans designed to eat rock directly.

He says: "If you eat rock, what happens? It's not going to be in any kind of a condition to be a nutrient in your system. It will even rust in your system."

Iron supplements receive particular criticism: "If you've got a cavern with metallic metal in your body and you take it as a supplement, like an iron supplement, it's heat processed and sterilized and it rusts. It's not going to help you with any blood iron deficiency. It's a whole myth. It's going to put a metal in your body that will rust and contaminate you and destroy tissue around and even become carcinogenic."

Rock mineral supplements do not merely fail to help, they actively harm. Aajonus describes seeing "tons of people with rusting iron, iodine, patina'ed copper in their systems" from mineral supplements. He also warns that taking supplements like dolomite can cause the reverse imbalance, absorbing rock calcium from dolomite "and all of a sudden you're going to have the reverse. You might get bone spurs, over-thickening of the bones." He names dolomite, bone meal, magnesium gluconate, calcium oxide, and other rock-derived supplements as dangerous.

He also addresses liquid colloidal minerals: "A lot of people will say, oh, but we can get minerals that are liquefied. Colloidal silver. Now, basically, that's a lot of minerals that are dissolved into a liquid that are so small that it doesn't bother to sell. But they are not bioactively coupled with vitamins, proteins, fats, or anything else. They are free radicals. Free radical minerals." Colloidal silver specifically can cause "chronic fatigue for up to seven years to get rid of it."

He mentions chelation therapy as "the most dangerous alternative therapy there is" because it introduces heavy metals into the body in inorganic form and disrupts the body's mineral balance.

Aajonus mentions that phytic acid in nuts "prevents the body from digesting any proteins properly because of the mineral imbalance." When you have a mineral imbalance, you have a digestive system imbalance, a digestive juice imbalance, and you cannot make hydrochloric acid properly, which means protein from animals is not properly digested.

When food is cooked, its ions and electrolytes are neutralized and often separated from the minerals and nutrients they were bound to. Many minerals become free radicals. The ionic network that a cell relies on to receive a full smorgasbord of nutrients is disrupted. Instead of receiving 93 to 117 nutrients at once, the cell receives a fraction.

Aajonus distinguishes between mineral deficiency and mineral toxicity, but they frequently co-exist and feed each other. Toxic, metallic, or heavy minerals, from airborne pollution, vaccines (mercury, aluminum), contaminated water, and rock supplements, accumulate in tissues including bones, glands, and organs. These toxic minerals use up the body's alkalinizing mineral reserves as the body attempts to neutralize them. He describes having observed in iridology that people can have "lead, all kinds of minerals that are storing in the bone and putting pressure on the lymph system." These toxic mineral deposits can press on the lymph system, contribute to water retention, and simultaneously create a deficiency of usable, bioactive minerals.

Mineral deficiency in Aajonus's system spans several philosophical areas simultaneously:

Cooked Food: This is the primary principle. The destruction of bioavailable minerals through cauterization is a direct consequence of cooking food. Every cooked-food eater is deficient in minerals, and all major diseases have their roots in multiple deficiencies and gross toxicity.

Terrain Theory / Root Cause: Mineral deficiency is not a disease in itself but a condition that creates the terrain for disease. Aajonus says "diseases always have their roots in multiple deficiencies and gross toxicity." Mineral deficiency is consistently one of the deficiencies at the root of conditions ranging from osteoporosis to Ménière's syndrome to nail problems to rickets to sciatica to allergies.

Detoxification: The body's attempt to neutralize accumulated toxins using its own mineral reserves is a form of chronic internal detoxification gone wrong, where the detox process is consuming the body's structural materials (bone) because no external mineral supply is adequate.

Raw Food / How to Eat: The solution to mineral deficiency is entirely dietary. Raw foods, especially cheese with honey, milk, eggs, vegetable juices, and raw meats, provide minerals in their only absorbable form.

Aajonus identifies a specific cluster of symptoms he associates with mineral deficiency, and reinterprets several conventionally diagnosed signs:

Nails: "Very warped and grooved nails" are listed as a primary symptom of mineral deficiency. He explains in detail: "If you've got lots of metals in your nails, they'll crack, they'll squint, they'll crease, and it causes a general mineral deficiency. You need the good natural minerals to bind the chelate with the toxic metals in your blood and in the serum, in the systems." Ridges in nails mean "you're mineral deficient because you have too many poisons that are using up the minerals in the body." He notes that his own nails ridge during periods when he is actively detoxing mineral deposits from his tissues.

Chapped lips: Listed as a primary symptom of mineral deficiency.

Fecal production: "Lots of fecal matter produced because food doesn't digest well", the body cannot extract nutrients efficiently when mineral status is low, leaving more undigested matter.

Reserved attitude toward people: Aajonus includes this psychological symptom as part of the mineral deficiency picture, reflecting the broad neurological and behavioral consequences of mineral insufficiency.

Salt craving: Aajonus reframes salt craving as mineral deficiency. "In We Want to Live, you mentioned salt craving. In that case, mineral deficiency. Correct." He explains that people mistake mineral craving for salt craving because salt is the isolated, separated version of what is actually a craving for the full mineral complex. He says: "A lot of your minerals taste salty. It doesn't have to be just sodium... You're craving minerals. Most people go for salt because that's what's been isolated and separated for them."

Nail biting: "Nail biting is caused by mineral deficiencies or severe mineral imbalance. A person eats finger and/or toenails, instinctively, to recycle minerals in the nails."

Osteoporosis: Reframed entirely as a mineral deficiency condition. "What causes osteoporosis? Your body is eating its own minerals." He is explicit that osteoporosis is not caused by aging but by bad diet: "...from osteoporosis, from aging, no it's from a bad diet."

Premature graying: Aajonus connects gray hair to mineral toxicity and the detoxification of toxic minerals through the hair. He describes his own experience: when detoxing toxic mineral areas in his brain and testicles, minerals build into his hair and produce gray. "Two or three years ago I had lots of gray hair, then it went away. Then all of a sudden when I started detoxing the minerals again, the gray started coming out." He adds that ridges in nails also appear during these periods.

Anemia: Reframed. Aajonus says "I don't mean anemia by the laboratory test, you've got low hemoglobin or low iron. Who cares as long as you don't have symptoms of anemia? Anemia is a symptom, not a blood test." He describes a one-year-old girl diagnosed with low iron who was prescribed iron supplements, he rejects the supplements as useless and dangerous, and instead treats her with raw dairy and raw meat, with the child catching up to normal growth in one month.

Bone loss, tooth loss, gum rot: All manifestations of severe mineral deficiency. He describes a case of someone whose gum rotted away and whose teeth were falling out, which was corrected with cheese and honey. He says in one case a person "replaced the bone in about a month. Bone in a month from eating cheese, two tablespoons of cheese twice a day with [honey]."

Rickets: "Generally, rickets is caused by the same mineral toxicity and deficiency that creates low thyroid production."

Ménière's Syndrome: Described as "chiefly caused by lack of enzyme-mutations for assimilating and utilizing minerals in cooked and processed foods."

Allergies: "Another reason for allergies is that a body may lack the enzyme-mutations to digest and utilize cooked minerals. People who lack mineral enzyme-mutations often have premature graying."

General disease: "Diseases always have their roots in multiple deficiencies and gross toxicity." Mineral deficiency is always one of those multiple deficiencies.

Overall body mineral deficiency from cooked food: Aajonus gives a clinical example from iridology: "Your liver isn't in great shape... Any mineral deficiencies? Well, you have all of them. You're mineral deficient in all of your minerals because you've eaten so many cauterized from cooked foods, so you're deficient in all minerals."

Morning blood acidity: "I always found that in the morning, the blood is very acidic. Overly acidic. It should be about 5.5. But some peoples were getting down to 5.1 and 4.9." This overly acidic morning state is a symptom of chronic alkalinizing mineral deficiency, the body cannot buffer its own acid load overnight.

---

Aajonus's primary, foundational protocol for mineral deficiency is raw, no-salt-added cheese eaten together with raw unheated honey, in the same bite, in the mouth simultaneously.

He explains the mechanism in detail: Cheese is raw milk that has been dehydrated and concentrated. Because it is so concentrated, it acts as a powerful magnet for toxins in the digestive tract, pulling heavy metals and other toxic substances out of the blood serum and lymph fluid as those fluids pass through the stomach and intestinal walls. This magnetic property of cheese is why the body does not send pancreatic enzymes to digest it, it uses cheese as a sponge and detoxifier instead.

However, this same indigestibility means that when you eat cheese alone (without honey), you get almost none of the minerals from it into your cells for nutritional use, the cheese passes through pulling toxins but not delivering minerals systemically.

When you add honey to the cheese and eat them together in the mouth at the same time, the enzymes in the honey reactivate the cheese and allow the minerals and fats to be absorbed and utilized intracellularly. The honey provides the enzymes lost through dehydration, converting the cheese back into an active, digestible food. "Adding enzymes to it that are lost by dehydration. So if you need a good mineral supplement, you don't go to rock."

He is very precise about the requirement for simultaneous consumption: "The honey and the cheese right together... You can have honey in a milkshake and you eat the cheese first, it will not be absorbed. It will still act as a detoxifier. You have to have the honey and the cheese right together for it to do that." Even if you eat honey in something else in the same meal but not in the same bite with cheese, the cheese will remain a detoxifier, not a mineral supplement. "Honey's already gone to doing something else, and it will not work on the cheese unless you're eating the cheese together in your mouth."

Why cheese is uniquely mineral-rich: "All mammary limbs produce mineral rich fluids. Because they have to grow bones quickly, the children have to go grow fast, or the calves, whatever it is, grow fast. So all mammary secretions are concentrated in minerals." Cheese is concentrated milk, taking a large volume of milk and reducing it to a concentrated form, which concentrates all those minerals further.

What happens when you eat honey with cheese: Most of the fats and some protein go to probate (a protein sugar that helps utilize fat as energy), and "you will utilize those minerals." The result is the highest mineral concentration achievable from food in a digestible form.

Cheese varieties: He specifies no-salt-added raw cheese. He mentions that some raw cheeses can now be purchased commercially because they get around pasteurization laws. He mentions raw blue cheese if one can find it without salt, referencing Penicillium roqueforti. Salt in cheese is explicitly disqualifying, salt causes mineral imbalances and cellular dehydration, defeating the purpose.

Aajonus gives several specific quantity formulations across different contexts:

Standard daily mineral supplement (general maintenance and supplementation): - 1 tablespoon raw cheese with anywhere from ¼ teaspoon to 1 teaspoon raw unheated honey - He specifies: "Anywhere from a half to a whole teaspoon of honey. Some people even need less honey than that. It could be a quarter of a teaspoon of honey to a tablespoon of cheese." - Also stated as: "One and a half to two tablespoons of cheese with two and a half teaspoons of honey. Tablespoons of the cheese, teaspoons of the honey." - Also stated as: "One and a half to two tablespoons of raw cheese with one and a half to one and a half teaspoons of honey." (ratio of 3:1 to 6:1 cheese to honey by volume) - Also stated as: "Two teaspoons of honey, maximum. You can cut it down to 1 teaspoon per 2 tablespoons of cheese."

Timing: 30 to 35 minutes after a meat meal.

Frequency: Twice daily for mineral maintenance; up to three times daily for severe bone loss.

For severe osteoporosis or bone loss (20–37% bone loss): - "Two tbsp. of cheese three times daily with one and a half to two tsp. honey." - Some sources state twice daily. - He also mentions "two tablespoons of cheese twice a day with [honey]" replacing bone in a month in one case. - For people with 20–30% bone loss: twice daily, seven days a week, over a year and a half, reversed 20–32% of osteoporosis in one year. - He also says: "If it's very severe, I'll have them eat it... for most people I say, for your mineral supplement... cheese and honey... so then you wait two to three hours, and you have a milkshake, two to three hours, you have another vegetable juice, one and a half, two hours, an hour and a half, you have your next meat meal, 35 minutes after that, your cheese and honey again."

For several days weekly, drinking ¼ teaspoon of clay with a little mineral water usually corrects mineral deficiencies. Most people benefit best by drinking this in the mornings.

Adding ½ teaspoon clay to the raspberry/egg drink increases its effectiveness at removing aluminum and toxic minerals.

He notes: "Although fresh raw juices, especially vegetable, are high in minerals, the body uses most of those vitamin-coupled minerals in solution to transport glucose to the brain and bind with toxins. Therefore, drinking clay in water, rather than in juices, works best."

He also notes that although clay cannot supply bioavailable minerals for nutritional use, it can attract and chelate toxic minerals (free radicals) and other over-acidic minerals in the body. It acts as a magnet for those toxic substances.

Raw milk is described as the best ongoing source of bioavailable minerals: "Milk is always your best calcium source." He recommends up to two quarts of milk daily in some protocols, and drinks "two and a half quarts of milk a day as my liquid."

"The only place you can get them [alkalinizing minerals] in concentrations like... milk." He says that a half-cup of milk delivers more bioavailable minerals than a whole bottle of a commercial mineral supplement.

A baby grows strong lungs and bones on milk. Eskimos, who eat entire raw animals including bones, are noted as examples of extreme mineral sufficiency, "We're not that healthy. We don't have that kind of teeth where we can eat bones. So, milk, milk, milk is your best supplement for minerals."

For correcting mineral deficiency, Aajonus recommends: "Some people need to eat several fertile raw eggs with good mineral water to correct this deficiency. Drinking two eggs and chasing them with mineral water may be an easier way of taking this combination. Another way would be to blend and drink a combination of 2-3 fertile raw eggs with ½ cup good mineral water, juice of ½ fresh raw lem[on]..."

In protocols for people with severe mineral deficiency from cooked food: "20 to 28 [eggs] a day" for the first six weeks, alongside "half a pound of meat every day" and "two quarts a day" of milk.

Vegetable juice is described as being high in minerals, but with an important qualification: "The body uses most of those vitamin-coupled minerals in solution to transport glucose to the brain and bind with toxins." This means vegetable juice minerals serve largely as toxin-binders and glucose transporters rather than as mineral supplementation for structural/bone repair.

He recommends a specific kale-celery-parsley blend for mineral deficiency associated with adrenal and liver problems: "10% kale juice, 80% celery, and 10% parsley."

Celery is identified for its sodium content and mineral value: "If he eats tomatoes and drinks the celery juice 99.95% of the time, that takes care of it." (re: salt craving/mineral deficiency)

Cucumber juice provides silica: "If you have a high acidic nature to your system, if you constantly have burns or sores, you might use cucumber in your juice, and that silica will help bind with those caustic substances."

Aajonus recommends raw meat for mineral-related anemia and deficiency conditions. For iron: "If you want iron, you eat beef. You have some spinach juice. That's where you get iron." He recommends various types of raw meat, and for someone with severe overall mineral deficiency, he specifies "half a pound of meat every day" for the first six weeks, then increasing to "about a pound of meat a day" after six weeks.

For nail biting (a mineral deficiency manifestation), Aajonus recommends: "fresh raw ocean fish (including scallops, oysters or clams), whole raw milk, and, occasionally, ¼ teaspoon of clay." He also says "if you want protein with [minerals], oysters." Raw oysters, scallops, and clams are identified as particularly mineral-rich: "And so instead of trying to get your minerals out of seaweed, get it out of raw oysters? That's it. And scallops. Clams, raw clams. Any of the raw fishes."

Aajonus identifies raspberries in particular as having the ability to pull mineral deposits out of tissues: "Blackberries, mostly raspberries will pull out mineral deposits, drug deposits." He describes eating raspberries and eggs together, or raspberries and cream together, to encourage the elimination of toxic mineral stores that have accumulated in tissues. He uses this himself to encourage detoxification of the two remaining toxic mineral areas he identifies in his own brain and testicles.

He is specific: "Got to have a berry that's heavy in minerals. Blackberries, mostly raspberries will pull out mineral deposits, drug deposits." Citrus, by contrast, "doesn't pull out the minerals. Pulls out fat storages, dead cells and stuff like that, but not minerals."

For salt craving as a manifestation of mineral deficiency: "If he eats tomatoes and drinks the celery juice 99.95% of the time, that takes care of it." And: "Just eat more tomatoes. Watermelon in the afternoon. Watermelon and avocado."

For nail biting: "no-salt-added raw cheeses with an equal quantity of fat, especially unsalted raw butter." Fat is identified as essential alongside mineral foods for proper mineral utilization.

Aajonus uses "good mineral water" alongside eggs and clay for mineral deficiency correction, but he is careful to specify that the minerals in the water itself are non-absorbable: "The minerals are non-absorbable in humans. They may attract and chelate with toxic minerals such as free-radicals and other over-acidic minerals but they cannot be absorbed for nutrient value." The water serves as a vehicle for the clay or egg combination, not as a mineral source itself.

From the transcript passages, Aajonus outlines a day structured as follows:

1. Morning: Clay with mineral water (¼ teaspoon clay in mineral water). The morning is when blood is most acidic. This is the best time for clay. 2. First thing / early morning: Cheese and honey together as the first mineral supplement, to neutralize morning acidity and provide alkalinizing minerals. 3. Wait two to three hours: Milkshake. 4. Wait two to three hours: Vegetable juice. 5. Wait one and a half to two hours: Meat meal. 6. 35 minutes after meat meal: Cheese and honey again (1½–2 tablespoons cheese, 1½–2½ teaspoons honey). 7. Throughout the day: Cheese without honey to act as a toxin-binding sponge/magnet.

He adds: "You're always going to have some toxins, so you also eat the cheese without the honey throughout the day. But usually, on a daily basis, to keep the mineral balance higher, is your mineral supplements."

Aajonus provides several specific case studies and timelines for mineral deficiency recovery:

Most dramatic case: A person with gum rot causing teeth to fall out, "he replaced the bone in about a month. Bone in a month from eating cheese, two tablespoons of cheese twice a day with [honey]."

Standard severe osteoporosis (20–30% bone loss): "I've seen people restore by having that [cheese and honey] twice daily, seven days a week over a period of a year and a half restore twenty to thirty-two percent of osteoporosis in one year."

32% bone loss (considered severe, the level at which people start cracking bones from falls): One person reversed this in 20 months using the cheese and honey protocol. Another case: "32% bone loss, women mainly... What I have them do is have two tbsp. of cheese three times daily with one and a half to two tsp. honey", reversed in 20 months.

General bone/structural rebuilding: "I can have somebody structure and help build the bones, anywhere you're deficient, 20, 30%, or 23% of their bone system deteriorating, from osteoporosis... restructure in two years their entire system, by eating the cheese and honey." (Two-year full restructure for severe cases.)

When osteoporosis healed: "When I started experimenting with that, the people with osteoporosis healed i[n short periods]." He describes "having osteoporosis done with that combination, having o[ne case after another resolve]."

A one-year-old girl who was four months behind schedule in growth, diagnosed with low iron, prescribed iron supplements by a conventional doctor, those supplements made her "sicker and sicker" over four to four-and-a-half months. Aajonus put her on raw dairy and raw buffalo meat blended with other foods. One month later, "she caught up with her birth.", catching up four months of development in one month of raw food.

For someone with "all" mineral deficiencies from years of cooked food: protocol involves two quarts of milk daily, 20–28 eggs per day, half a pound of various meats, vegetable juice (only one day off per week, never two days in a row), for six weeks first phase. Then increase to a pound of meat per day and cut eggs down to 12–20 per day. This is a general rebuilding protocol.

"Eating any or all of the following usually corrects this mineral deficiency within 3 months: no-salt-added raw cheeses with an equal quantity of fat, especially unsalted raw butter, fresh raw ocean fish (including scallops, oysters or clams), whole raw milk, and, occasionally, ¼ teaspoon of clay.", 3 months for nail biting/nail problems.

Aajonus describes his own nail ridges coming and going over a two-year period as he cycles through detoxing the last two toxic mineral areas (brain and testicles). The ridges appear during active detox phases and resolve when detox pauses. This is not a deficiency to be fixed but a sign of active mineral detoxification being ongoing.

Clay taken "for several days weekly", this is an ongoing practice, not a fixed-duration protocol.

"Eating plenty of full-fat raw milk, no-salt-added raw cheeses and raw meat heal this mineral imbalance in time.", No specific timeline given, but described as healing "in time."
