Psoriasis, according to Aajonus, is not a skin disease in the conventional sense, it is a symptom of the body's ongoing effort to discharge concentrated industrial toxins through the skin. It is characterized by patches of red eruptions on the skin that are sometimes covered with dry, silvery scales. These sores usually grow in size without healing. The eruptions, cracking, bleeding, and scaling are the visible evidence of the body attempting to route highly concentrated toxic material out through the largest detoxification organ it has: the skin.

Aajonus was precise about the distinction between different types of skin conditions that may appear similar. He differentiated psoriasis from eczema, from rashes caused by volatile bile, and from toxic skin damage where the skin is simply being used as a transit route for poisons. He stated explicitly:

This is the essential definitional axis of psoriasis in his framework: fat deficiency at the skin level, combined with concentrated industrial toxins attempting to exit through the skin. These two factors together, the absence of protective raw fat in the skin and the presence of caustic industrial chemicals, create the lesions, ulcers, bleeding, cracking, and scaling that define psoriasis.

He also explained that psoriasis differs from conditions where toxins are passing through the skin more generally. Where skin lesions result from poisons leading to the skin but the drying-out pattern of psoriasis is not present, Aajonus did not classify it as psoriasis. He told one attendee whose skin was showing toxic damage: "Yours is poisons leading to your skin, it's not eczema or psoriasis."

He described psoriasis as a condition where industrial toxins become so concentrated in a particular area of the body that the cells of the skin in those zones are under constant abrasive chemical assault, both internally, as the toxins move through the tissue, and externally, as they exit through the pores. In advanced or chronic cases, the skin cells in psoriatic areas are so persistently assaulted that they are killed at the site, no longer reacting to the toxins because they are no longer alive or so damaged they cannot react.

Aajonus identified multiple interacting root causes for psoriasis. None of them match the conventional medical explanation. Here is the full layered causal structure he presented:

Aajonus stated that psoriasis is "mainly from lack of enzyme-mutations for eating cooked red fruits and vegetables; those resins congest the lymphatic system." This is the foundational biochemical cause. When a person does not have the genetic enzyme mutations necessary to properly process cooked red and orange foods, tomatoes, red bell peppers, strawberries (when cooked or processed), and similar foods, the resins from those foods are not properly metabolized. These undigested or improperly digested resins build up in the lymphatic system, congesting it. The lymphatic system, unable to properly process and discharge waste, begins routing toxins through the skin in concentrated, localized eruptions.

The second root cause is the accumulation and concentration of industrial toxins in specific areas of the body, particularly in cartilage, bone marrow, and connective tissue around joints. Aajonus explained: "Psoriasis occurs when industrial toxins are concentrated in one area and/or are discarding through a particular area. Often, joint areas are affected. That indicates that heavy toxins were stored in the cartilage or bone marrow, and are being discharged through" that area. The elbows and knees, classic psoriasis sites, are precisely the joint areas most likely to store these concentrated deposits.

He also identified "allergies to volatile toxins" as a factor in many cases of psoriasis, cross-referencing his discussions of preservatives, pesticides, edema, and overweight conditions. This means that some cases of psoriasis are driven not just by the passive accumulation of industrial toxins but by active allergic responses to volatile toxic compounds, chemicals that evaporate rapidly and cause cellular irritation as they pass through the skin.

Aajonus consistently identified lymphatic congestion as the structural precondition that allows psoriasis to develop. The lymphatic system is responsible for neutralizing toxins, reducing them to smaller substances, and eliminating them through tear ducts, ears (wax), mucous membranes, bowels, vagina, urinary tract, and especially the skin. Psoriasis and eczema are listed explicitly as symptoms of lymphatic congestion. The lymphatic congestion itself results, he said, from chemicals such as medications, preservatives, pesticides and herbicides, in combination with hydrogenated oils such as margarine, soy products, flavoring additives, safflower oils, and peanut butter. These oils and chemical combinations harden over time, 5 to 20 years, and are not fluid at body temperature, gumming up the lymphatic channels.

Aajonus described his own psoriasis as having been initiated by tetracycline taken during his teenage years: "When I took tetracycline when I was a teenager, that started my psoriasis." He also described how chemotherapy dramatically worsened the condition: "I got chemotherapy, psoriasis was every day." He described the sores as opening all over his body, face, knees, back, scalp, to the point where people described him as "looking like a hamburger, walking like a hamburger."

He continued to discharge the same compounds, fragments of tetracycline-like mold, penicillin compounds, from the hardened tissue in his elbows decades later, describing the tissue in the elbows as having hardened from the antibiotic: "It's hardened tissue in the elbows, which resulted... When I took tetracycline when I was a teenager, that started my psoriasis." He noted that as recently as his presentations, he was still discharging these compounds after 38–39 years without having taken them.

In all cases of psoriasis, Aajonus emphasized that fat deficiency is the condition that allows toxins to destroy skin cells rather than pass harmlessly through them. The skin cells in psoriatic areas "must be constantly fed and protected as the industrial toxins move past and abrade them, both internally and dietarily." When raw fat is abundant, it cushions and protects the skin cells from the abrasive industrial chemicals. When fat is deficient, because most raw fat is absorbed and utilized by internal organs and glands before it ever reaches the skin, the skin cells are left unprotected and the toxins destroy them. This produces the dead, dry, scaling, bleeding skin of psoriasis.

He also identified excess bile in the system as a contributing cause of psoriasis-like lesions. When bile, a very caustic substance, reaches the skin, it can create lesions and psoriasis-like eruptions. This is particularly relevant in cases where the liver has been severely stressed and the body is producing excess bile to deal with toxins throughout the system. He noted: "If it comes to the skin, it can create lesions, it can create psoriasis."

Aajonus documented in his newsletters and workshops that forced or medical injections of industrial chemical compounds can trigger and massively worsen psoriasis. He described the psoriasis that re-erupted after his own injections: "All of this came about from my injections... I never had anything like this and in weeks. I had it from those injections... It used to be five times that much. Used to be all here like this like an elephant tissue. But very dry and hard and peeling, psoriasis all over again from that."

He made the direct connection between the use of non-animal vegetable oils and the development of psoriasis: "You better make sure you're going to get that stuff out of the skin because if it starts settling in that skin and you start having rashes and psoriasis and you have your hands cracked, that's what happens. Oils are not good."

He described carrot juice consumed in excess (2 liters daily for 10 years, as one correspondent had done) as potentially contributing to liver and skin problems. He said that too much carrot juice is "too acidic" for some people and "causes severe drying. It causes psoriasis in people."

Psoriasis fits primarily within multiple overlapping principles of Aajonus's causal framework:

Root Cause / Terrain Theory: The foundational cause, the accumulation and concentration of industrial toxins in body tissues, is a terrain failure. The body's terrain has been so contaminated by industrial chemicals (medications, pesticides, preservatives, antibiotics, chemotherapy, injections) that it cannot neutralize these compounds and must route them out through the skin in concentrated bursts.

Detoxification: Psoriasis is fundamentally a detoxification condition. The skin is doing exactly what it is supposed to do, discharging 90% of the body's toxic load through perspiration and cell shedding. Psoriasis represents this process happening in an extreme, concentrated, and locally destructive way because the lymphatic system is congested, fat is deficient, and the toxin load is too heavy to process smoothly.

Cooked Food: The specific enzyme-mutation angle ties psoriasis directly to Cooked Food. The failure to have enzyme mutations for cooked red fruits and vegetables is the named primary cause, and the lymphatic resin congestion that results from eating those cooked foods without the correct enzymes is the mechanism by which psoriasis develops.

Raw Food: The recovery from psoriasis is entirely dependent on raw food, particularly raw animal fats. The therapeutic mechanism operates through the provision of uncooked, enzyme-active fats that can reach and protect the skin cells and lubricate the lymphatic system.

How to Live: The lymphatic bath protocol, the application of raw fats to the skin, and the avoidance of industrial oils and processed foods are lifestyle-level interventions that form part of the psoriasis management protocol.

In conventional medicine, the red eruptions of psoriasis are described as inflammatory immune responses. Aajonus reframes them entirely: they are sites where industrial toxins are concentrated and being discharged through the skin. The redness is cellular damage and irritation caused by caustic industrial chemicals abrading the skin cells as those chemicals move through the tissue toward the surface. This is not immune dysfunction, it is concentrated toxic discharge.

The dry, silvery scales that cover psoriatic patches represent dead skin cells that have been killed by the concentrated industrial toxins passing through them. The silvery appearance is the result of the complete cellular death and desiccation caused by the combination of fat deficiency and toxic assault. When raw fat is absent, the skin cells have no protective medium and are destroyed outright. The scales are the body shedding these destroyed cells. Aajonus described this as "vast amounts of dead cells that the body can't afford to discard."

The failure of psoriatic sores to heal is reframed as a continuous process: the toxins are continuously arriving at those skin sites. As long as the underlying industrial chemical deposits in the cartilage, bone marrow, or adjacent tissue continue to be discharged through that area, the sores cannot heal because new toxic material is constantly abrading freshly attempting-to-heal cells. Healing can only occur when the toxin discharge through that area slows or stops, which requires either the depletion of the stored toxins or the rerouting of their discharge to another area.

Conventional medicine has no explanation for the predilection of psoriasis for joint areas. Aajonus explained this precisely: "Often, joint areas are affected. That indicates that heavy toxins were stored in the cartilage or bone marrow, and are being discharged through" those joint areas. The elbows and knees are sites of cartilage and bone marrow with significant lymphatic flow passing through. When heavy industrial toxins, metals, antibiotic compounds, chemotherapy residues, are stored in the cartilage or bone marrow, the nearest exit points for their eventual discharge are the overlying skin areas, which are the classic psoriasis sites.

In severe cases, Aajonus described the tissue as becoming "like elephant tissue", very dry, hard, and peeling. This is what happens when the cellular death is so extensive and so continuous that the accumulation of dead skin layers becomes physically thick and leathery. He described his own condition after injections in these terms.

The cracking and bleeding of psoriatic skin represents the extreme end of fat deficiency. Without raw fat to maintain the flexibility, integrity, and regenerative capacity of skin cells, the skin becomes so dry and brittle that it cracks open under normal mechanical stress. The bleeding is the result of rupture of the capillaries exposed by the cracked skin.

Aajonus connected itching in skin conditions to the process of toxic discharge through the skin. The itching is the cellular irritation caused by industrial chemicals abrading and damaging skin cells as they move through the tissue. He described his own experience with extreme itching earlier in life, before he discovered raw foods, using Listerine to soak his feet for hours to get temporary relief: "I could go a few days without the intense itching, causing my body to just rip my tissue to pieces and bleed and bleed and bleed."

He explained why clay (Terramin) could reduce psoriasis symptoms by approximately 80%: it draws fats from the skin cells so aggressively that it kills them at the site. The cells are "no longer irritated by the industrial toxins that are so concentrated in areas of psoriasis because they are no longer alive, or so damaged that they do no longer react." This is not healing, it is the suppression of the symptom through cellular destruction. The toxins continue to be eliminated through the skin at those areas; it is simply that the cells can no longer feel or react to them. This is why clay must never be allowed to dry on the skin, if it dries, it draws fats as well as toxins from the skin cells and compromises their integrity, creating lesions and often ulcers.

The single most important therapeutic intervention Aajonus identified for psoriasis is the Moisturizing/Lubrication Formula (The Recipe for Living Without Disease). He described this as "the best remedy I found for psoriatic tissue."

The key mechanism: Most raw fat is absorbed and utilized by the internal organs, glands, and digestive system before it reaches the skin. The skin gets very little of the best fats under normal dietary conditions. However, when fat is consumed in the Moisturizing/Lubrication Formula, which contains lemon juice and egg that pre-digest the butter, it digests so rapidly that it bypasses the normal absorption sequence and does reach the skin. This is the critical pharmacological distinction of this formula.

Dosage: Aajonus specified: "I suggest that you consume 1–2 daily until symptoms resolve." He was clear that this is a minimum-of-one-daily formula for psoriasis, not an occasional supplementary food.

Children: For a child with eczema moving toward psoriasis, he said "that usually takes at least one moisturizing formula a day. To relieve it, usually in 30 days or less in children. Depends upon what the rest of his diet is like."

Historical comparison: Before he developed the Moisturizing/Lubrication Formula, Aajonus said it took him "seven, eight years to get it to a point where it was not painful" in psoriasis patients. With the formula, "I can do it in three to six months with a patient now."

Case study, elderly man: "One elderly man, only three and a half months to reverse that condition with that lubrication, moisturizing lubrication formula." The condition described was "massive, massive dead, dry skin all over the body, bleeding, cracking all over, knees, elbows, armpits."

The formula's composition as described: It allows the liver to handle the fat easily and get it to the skin, because it is "slowly pre-digested with the lemon juice and the egg in it." He described the taste as "like a lemon meringue."

Raw, no-salt butter is the foundational food for all skin disorders including psoriasis. Aajonus stated: "I have seen all skin disorders reconciled by raw butter consumption." He emphasized that it must be no-salt raw butter. He described butter specifically as the fat that "will get to the skin from ingesting, especially if you are using the lubrication/moisturizing formula."

He also referenced his own personal experience: "So the butter helped that so much, and the raw cream helped calm my anxiety... The psoriasis, like I said, opens sores everywhere... the butter helped that so much."

Raw cream is also a primary therapeutic food, both internally and externally. Aajonus repeatedly said "cream is your savior" for skin conditions. It helps protect, nourish, and soothe the skin. He noted, however, that "cream is all absorbed by the glands and the organs, and nervous system" when consumed internally, and therefore "cream won't even get near the skin" through normal dietary routes. The Moisturizing/Lubrication Formula is required to actually get the fat to the skin.

For external use, raw cream soothes and nourishes the skin directly when applied topically.

He stated: "The best way to harness the toxins and mitigate skin disorders, preventing them from causing ulcers, such as psoriasis, is to consume lots of animal fat, especially no-salt raw butter and raw cream."

For direct skin feeding, Aajonus recommended applying and rubbing a blended mixture of equal parts raw butter and bone marrow into the skin. This "help[s] strengthen it, reducing skin cells' reactions to toxins passing through the pores." This is topical application, the skin is fed directly because internal consumption of fat does not reliably reach the skin in sufficient quantities.

He described discovering the skin benefits of bone marrow through his co-op members in Los Angeles, noting that one woman used bone marrow directly on her skin every day and "she still uses it every day, rather than eating enough fat to lubricate the whole body properly."

The formula for external skin application is a blended mixture of equal parts raw butter and bone marrow.

"Eating plenty of raw fat, fresh raw tomato puree and other raw red and orange foods (like strawberries)" is part of the psoriasis food protocol. The specific note here is that these must be raw, the very foods that cause psoriasis when cooked (due to the resin congestion from lack of enzyme mutations) are healing when consumed raw, because in their raw state the enzymes are intact and the resins are not produced in the same congesting form.

For one patient with psoriasis-related conditions who had more aluminum than any other metal in the body, Aajonus specifically prescribed raspberries: "you've got more aluminum than any other metal in your body, so I suggest lots of raspberries, for the other five days of the week." He explained that raspberries "will pull out mineral deposits, drug deposits" due to their high concentration of metallic minerals, "like attracts like." He described raspberries as having "almost an alkaloid appearance" in terms of their mineral profile and noted that "no other berry has that concentration of minerals, of heavier minerals."

For one individual with psoriasis-adjacent conditions, he prescribed: lower carrot content to 20–25%, add 5% bee (celery) juice, and adjust the vegetable juice blend accordingly.

For psoriasis-related back involvement with fat deficiency, he recommended vacillating between: 80–90% celery, 10–20% parsley for about a week or 10 days, then changing to 85% celery, 5% zucchini, 10% parsley.

Because fat deficiency in the skin can result from the liver not producing sufficient bile to digest fat, Aajonus provided a specific liver support protocol: "Eating no more than 3/4 cup pineapple with 4 T raw butter or 4 ounces of raw cream daily for 10 days, and afterward every other day for as long as it takes, helps the liver produce bile."

He provided a diagnostic: "If you eat lots of butter and cream and your fecal matter is very dry, your liver is working fine. If your fecal matter is very oily and often liquid, your liver may not be producing bile." The pineapple-with-fat protocol is specifically for cases where the liver is failing to digest fat, contributing to the fat deficiency that allows psoriasis to develop and persist.

He used no-salt raw cheese in his own skin detox management to draw industrial toxins from the blood and neurological fluid into the intestines: "I began eating no-salt raw cheese frequently to draw any industrial toxins from blood and neurological fluid into intestines. Once I began eating cheese frequently, every 30–90 minutes, the detoxification mitigated." Frequency: every 30–90 minutes.

Raw milk is used both internally (to support mucous membrane rebuilding in the gut, which he connected to psoriasis through the leaky gut angle) and externally (in baths, adding raw milk to bath water to neutralize chlorine and nourish the skin during lymphatic baths).

He specified: fermented dairy is acceptable if it is not tangy with alcohol (i.e., yogurt or mild kefir is acceptable). Kefir that has become strongly tangy with alcohol is problematic, the alcohol "thins or completely destroys the mucous lining membranes," creating more gut problems.

Unheated bee pollen appears in his general skin and gland revitalization protocols. He mentioned it in the context of prostate and other gland conditions adjacent to psoriasis discussions.

Aajonus stated: "It used to take me seven, eight years to get it to a point where it was not painful" in psoriasis patients.

"I can do it in three to six months with a patient now." This is the general range for severe psoriasis using one or two Moisturizing/Lubrication Formulas daily.

"One elderly man, only three and a half months to reverse that condition with that lubrication, moisturizing lubrication formula." The presenting condition was "massive, massive dead, dry skin all over the body, bleeding, cracking all over, knees, elbows, armpits." Three and a half months to reversal is the fastest documented case.

For a child whose skin condition was described as eczema moving toward psoriasis, Aajonus said: "that usually takes at least one moisturizing formula a day. To relieve it, usually in 30 days or less in children."

Aajonus's own psoriasis, initiated by tetracycline in his teens and catastrophically worsened by chemotherapy, took many years to bring under control even on the raw diet. He described the progression: first becoming healthier on raw foods, with the butter helping so much that the most acute symptoms resolved. He noted that his most recent psoriatic episode at the time of the workshop was "the first time I've had it, probably 15 years."

Regarding the detoxification from his specific elbow tissue deposits: "The last time that I had a detoxification here that didn't affect the elbows, it was about four years ago, and the same elements were coming out, but they weren't coming out here." He was still discharging tetracycline-related compounds after 38–39 years.

Regarding his injection-induced psoriasis: "It used to be five times that much. Used to be all here like this like an elephant tissue. But very dry and hard and peeling, psoriasis all over again from that. But it's breaking down and getting better. But all those toxins are coming through. This was two years ago, was down to here... the skin, we get very wrinkled now, it's a tenth of what it was, so I'm recovering slowly. But I'm recovering." He described this at age 67.

"The skin started glowing within 10 days of eating it once a day." This is the first observable positive change, the glow and improvement in overall skin quality, from beginning the Moisturizing/Lubrication Formula once daily.

Recovery from psoriasis is not a finite event in Aajonus's framework, it is a process of progressively reducing the toxic load stored in the body while continuously supplying raw fat to protect the skin cells during the discharge process. As long as industrial toxins remain stored in cartilage, bone marrow, and other tissues, the discharge process through the skin will continue. The goal of the protocol is to make that discharge process as non-destructive as possible by maintaining adequate fat levels in the skin.
