Pyorrhea, in Aajonus's framework, is not a disease of the gums in the conventional sense. It is not an infection to be fought, suppressed, or surgically treated. It is, most fundamentally, a detoxification process, a systemic elimination event that the body is conducting deliberately and intelligently through a specific pathway: the gums.

According to Aajonus, pyorrhea is most often a detoxification of the brain and glands in the mouth that eliminates through the gums. The gums become the exit route for accumulated toxins that originate in the brain and in the glandular tissue located in and around the mouth. The body uses the gum tissue as a channel through which these toxins can be expelled, and in the process of that expulsion, the gums may form pus, become inflamed, and the teeth may begin to loosen.

Aajonus explicitly connects pyorrhea to the index entry for gingivitis, treating these as the same condition or closely related manifestations of the same underlying process. See the index entry: "gingivitis. See pyorrhea."

He also distinguishes pyorrhea from a separate but related condition called general gum sensitivity, stating clearly: "General gum sensitivity is most often the result of low blood protein level accompanied by low blood sugar level. General gum sensitivity should not be confused with pyorrhea." This distinction is important, not all gum symptoms are pyorrhea, and misidentifying one for the other leads to incorrect protocols.

Aajonus also identifies a secondary causal pathway: sometimes that condition is caused by lactose intolerance. This means pyorrhea can arise either from the brain/gland detoxification pathway or from a digestive incompatibility with dairy, specifically, an inability to properly process lactose, which then expresses itself through the gum tissue.

Aajonus identifies multiple root causes that can operate independently or together:

Pyorrhea belongs primarily within the Detoxification of Aajonus's framework. The central mechanism, the body using gum tissue as an elimination route for brain and glandular toxins, is a pure detoxification event, not a disease process in any conventional sense.

It also falls under:

• Cooked Food / Pasteurized Dairy: The role of pasteurized dairy in contributing to the toxic burden, causing lactose intolerance, and creating the conditions that trigger pyorrhea places it in the cooked/processed food causation framework.
• Terrain Theory: The mineral absorption component and the idea that the body is choosing a specific elimination route reflects the terrain theory approach, the body is not failing but actively managing its toxic burden through the best available pathways.
• Raw Food as Medicine / How to Eat: The entire resolution protocol is built on specific raw foods, making this condition a direct example of raw food as remedy.

Aajonus provides a detailed and multi-component food protocol for pyorrhea. Each element serves a specific function within his framework.

The instruction to add extra cream is specific, not standard raw milk alone, but milk with added cream, which significantly increases the fat content of the drink and changes its physiological effects.

The honey must be unheated, not pasteurized honey, not honey that has been warmed above the threshold at which its enzymes are destroyed. The enzymatic activity of unheated honey is what enables it to support lactose digestion.

This is a significant protocol fork. Rather than insisting on raw milk for everyone, Aajonus recognizes that some individuals cannot tolerate dairy in any form during pyorrhea treatment, and for these individuals, raw fish provides the mineral-rich, bioavailable protein that the gum tissue and underlying mineralogy require without triggering the lactose-related irritation.

1. Blood pressure stabilization: Eating raw cheese with juices prevents the blood pressure from rising too quickly that results from drinking juices, which in turn protects against the increased gum sensitivity that rapid blood pressure elevation causes.

2. Mineral supplementation: The combination of raw cheese with raw juices supplies added raw minerals that are so lacking in pyorrhea. Raw cheese is one of the most concentrated sources of bioavailable minerals in Aajonus's framework, the unheated, unsalted nature of the cheese means its mineral content is in its natural, absorbable form.

The specific instruction is no-salt-added raw cheese, not commercially salted cheese, not pasteurized cheese, but raw cheese with no salt added. Salt interferes with the mineral balance and could contribute to the very mineral imbalance that needs to be corrected.

"Drinking fresh raw ginger root and unheated honey mixed in good mineral water or fresh raw vegetable juices soothes and promotes healing of the gums. The ginger may be pressed with a [juicer/garlic press, the text is cut off in the source]."

The components of this formula are: - Fresh raw ginger root, not dried, not powdered (though the source text cuts off before fully detailing the preparation method, indicating the ginger can be pressed to extract its juice) - Unheated honey, again, the enzyme-active, non-pasteurized honey - Good mineral water OR fresh raw vegetable juices as the liquid base

This combination is described as having a dual effect: soothing (immediate symptomatic relief of gum tissue) and promoting healing (supporting the longer-term regeneration of gum tissue).

The sipping instruction applies here as well, these drinks should be sipped slowly, not consumed rapidly, to prevent the blood pressure elevation that aggravates gum sensitivity.

Aajonus does not provide a specific numbered timeline for pyorrhea recovery in the available source passages. He states that "eating plenty of raw fat, fresh raw tomato puree and other raw red and orange foods along with a balanced raw diet reverses this condition in time", the phrase "in time" indicating that recovery is a process, not an immediate resolution.

The condition is described as being controllable through improving mineral absorption. The word "controlled" suggests that management and gradual reversal are the nature of the recovery, not an immediate cure.

The protocol for a closely related condition, gum healing as part of the broader oral-systemic framework, involves the ginger/honey formula as ongoing supportive care, suggesting sustained daily use of these remedies rather than a short course.

The absence of a specific timeline in the sources should be noted. Aajonus directs readers to the Mineral Deficiency section and the Recipe book (Chapter 12) for the complete context of recovery, suggesting that the duration of recovery is tied to the individual's overall mineral status and the depth of the brain and glandular detoxification underway.
