Radiation burn poisoning, in Aajonus's framework, is not a simple burn in the conventional sense. It is a systemic, whole-body poisoning that results from the infiltration of ionizing radiation into living tissue, radioactively charging the minerals already present in the body, killing cellular nuclei, and preventing cells from regenerating or dividing. It is both a local burn phenomenon and a total-body toxic crisis.

Aajonus defined radiation as a process that works by sending particles or rays at the speed of light through the body, where they hit individual cells, kill the nucleus, and keep moving. The result is mass cellular death. When enough cells die in this way, the decaying cells themselves become the poison, their decomposing matter overwhelms the body's ability to process waste. This is, in his words, the exact mechanism of radiation poisoning, and it is the same whether a person receives medical radiation treatments or is exposed to environmental nuclear fallout.

He was explicit that radiation therapy, regardless of what it is called in medicine, is burning the body and infiltrating it with radioactive material. The process radioactively charges every mineral in the body: iodine, barium, cobalt, and any other metallic mineral present. Once radioactively charged, those minerals do not simply become inert. Aajonus stated clearly that metals in the body become radioactive for a minimum of 55,000 years. If the material is uranium, the half-life is 550,000 years. He called this fact something people must think carefully about, because those radioactive materials, sitting inside the body, inside living and dying cells, continuously irradiate the surrounding tissue, stopping cellular regeneration in the area, causing persistent disease, leukemia, bone cancers, and long-term systemic breakdown.

He described radiation as something that stops cells from dividing, stops cells from regenerating, causes aging, weakness, disease, and leukemia. The body does not simply heal from radiation the way it heals from a cut or a bruise. The damage is both immediate and indefinitely ongoing as long as those radioactively charged minerals remain in the body.

He also specifically described the local burn phenomenon from external radiation sources, including a personal experience where contact with radioactively contaminated steel caused an immediate, severe blister within one hour, a blister the size of a significant burn, even though the contact was only a minor scratch that went barely one layer under the skin. He identified this immediately as a radiation burn, distinguished from a heat or mechanical burn.

In Aajonus's framework, the root causes of radiation burn poisoning operate on multiple levels simultaneously:

The Direct Radioactive Charge of Body Minerals

Every person already carries minerals in their body, iodine from iodized salt, cobalt, and other metallic minerals. When radiation is applied, whether from x-rays at the dentist, radiation therapy, nuclear fallout, irradiated food, fluorescent lighting, television and computer monitors, laser printers, cellular phones, Bluetooth technology, microwaves, airport security scanners, or industrial pollution, those naturally occurring minerals become radioactively charged. Aajonus stated that after a dental x-ray, some of those minerals are now radioactive, and they will be so for 25,000 to 50,000 years. He described this as a phenomenon that most people are entirely unaware of, walking around with radioactive particles inside their bodies causing continuous cellular damage.

The Dead Cell Crisis

When radiation kills cellular nuclei in mass quantity, the body is confronted with an enormous number of dead, decaying cells. The body's attempt to detoxify and eliminate those decaying cells is what produces the symptoms people identify as radiation poisoning, the nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, irritability, weakness, and burns emerging from the skin.

The Mineral Leaching Cascade

Because the body cannot tolerate the radioactive charge of certain minerals, particularly iodine, it attempts to neutralize those minerals by leaching buffering minerals from elsewhere. Aajonus described this directly from his own experience: his body consumed its own bones to obtain calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus to neutralize radioactive iodine and other radioactively charged minerals such as barium. This is not a side effect in the pharmaceutical sense, it is the body working correctly to neutralize a poison, using the only resources available to it. The consequence of this correct bodily response was the complete dissolution of the bone around his teeth, his teeth dangling in his gums, profuse bleeding from his gums when he closed his jaws, and the need for up to two blood transfusions per week.

The Radioactive Cauterization of Structural Tissue

In Aajonus's own case, the intensity of ten weeks of radiation therapy directed at a tumorous incision was so extreme that the radiation did not stop at the tumor, it passed entirely through to the spine. The thermal and radioactive effect on the spine was comparable, in his repeated analogy, to taking malleable clay and firing it in a kiln at cone four to cone ten. The clay transforms from a soft, living, permeable substance into rock, pottery or porcelain, depending on the intensity of firing. That is precisely what the radiation did to his spine. It cauterized, hardened, and rigidified the entire spinal column, removing all mobility and causing excruciating, constant pain. Even moving his head caused a punishing wave of pain down the entire back. The worst of this condition developed within six months of the radiation treatments.

The Secondary Cancer Cascade

Radiation therapy, rather than eliminating cancer, produced entirely new cancers in Aajonus's body. Blood cancer (leukemia) and bone cancer resulted directly from the damage done to the bone marrow throughout the spine and ribs by the radiation. He was subsequently diagnosed with multiple myeloma, cancer of both blood and bone, as a direct consequence of radiation treatment. He stated that this is a known outcome: radiation causes bone cancer and leukemia by damaging the bone marrow. He framed this not as a rare complication but as an inevitable physiological consequence of irradiating living tissue.

Ongoing Radioactive Mineral Activity

Even decades after radiation exposure, the radioactively charged minerals continue to cause symptoms. Aajonus stated that forty-three years after his radiation treatments in 1968, he still experienced, on average once per year, intense radiation nausea and an iodine taste. He attributed this to the radioactively charged iodine that was injected into him prior to radiation treatments, insisting that its actual radioactive life is far longer than physics textbooks acknowledge. His gums remained purple, a sign of radiation poisoning, for decades after treatment, and he continued to experience some gum bleeding during teeth brushing forty-three years later.

Radioactive Contamination of the Food Supply

Aajonus extended the root cause analysis to the food supply itself. He argued that irradiating food introduces radioactive isotopes into food, and that these isotopes enter the body when the food is consumed and become part of the stomach and intestines. Once there, they continuously irradiate surrounding tissue. He documented that food irradiation using high-intensity gamma radiation destroys key enzymes and depletes radiation-sensitive essential nutrients including the amino acids l-cysteine, l-histidine, and l-tryptophan; vitamins C, E, K, B1, B2, B3, B6, and B12; folic acid; and omega-3, 6, and 9 unsaturated essential fatty acids. He also noted that some irradiated minerals in food become toxically radioactive, and that radiation-mutated nutrients accelerate aging.

EMF and Environmental Radiation Compounding

Aajonus described a compounding effect where strong electromagnetic fields attract radon decay products and cause them to vibrate, making them more likely to adhere to human tissue. He cited research showing this effect in homes with high background radiation and suggested similar effects would occur with the radioactive particles from Fukushima given the industrialized electromagnetic environment in which most people live. He also described how the accumulation of low-level radiation, from sources as mundane as grocery store checkout scanners, could cause nausea in people who had previously received radiation therapy, because the new exposure added to a body already burdened with radioactive material.

Radiation burn poisoning touches every principle in Aajonus's framework, but the primary placement is:

Root Cause / Terrain Theory: The fundamental premise is that ionizing radiation introduced into or near the body permanently charges minerals, kills cells, and creates a toxic environment that no amount of pharmaceutical intervention can reverse. The terrain is poisoned at the mineral and cellular level.

Cooked Food / Irradiated Food: Aajonus explicitly linked food irradiation to radiation poisoning, arguing that consuming irradiated foods introduces radioactive minerals into the digestive tract, where they continuously irradiate intestinal tissue. He treated this as equivalent in mechanism, if lesser in degree, to medical radiation therapy.

Detoxification: The symptoms of radiation poisoning, nausea, vomiting, burns emerging from the skin, gum recession, bone dissolution, irritability, are the body's active detoxification process. When the body is on the Primal Diet and finally strong enough to address radioactive material, it will purge it through vomiting, which contains the actual radioactive matter. This is the body doing the correct thing, and the symptoms can be severe precisely because the process is genuine elimination.

Microbes: Radiation stops cells from regenerating. Aajonus did not frame microbes as relevant to the acute poisoning phase, but the inability to regenerate cells, caused by radiation, creates a terrain that becomes pathological over time. The body's normal microbial partners cannot compensate for the cellular genocide radiation produces.

Cancer: Radiation therapy is, in Aajonus's framework, a primary cause of cancer, not a treatment for it. Blood and bone cancer (multiple myeloma, leukemia) resulted directly from his radiation treatments. He stated that chemotherapy and radiation cause cellular genocide that results in masses of dead cells likely to be built into tumors throughout the body, metastasis, usually within seven years of treatment.

Sovereignty: Aajonus framed the entire radiation issue, both medical radiation therapy and the push to irradiate the food supply, as governmental and industrial poisoning of the population. He opposed food irradiation in formal letters, citing specific studies showing harm, and wrote directly to politicians to oppose it.

Raw Food / How to Live: The entire set of remedies he prescribed are raw foods and natural substances. The healing protocol is built entirely on the principle that raw, unprocessed, living foods carry the enzymes, fats, minerals, and bioactive compounds necessary to counteract, absorb, neutralize, and eliminate radioactive toxins.

Aajonus reinterpreted every major symptom of radiation burn poisoning not as evidence of disease to be suppressed, but as the body's active work to manage, contain, neutralize, and eliminate radioactive toxins:

Nausea and Vomiting In conventional medicine, nausea and vomiting during radiation treatment are listed as side effects to be managed with anti-nausea medications. In Aajonus's framework, nausea and vomiting are the body's mechanism for expelling radioactive matter. He stated explicitly that radioactive material dumps into the stomach and is vomited out. He described a specific patient who, during the period her body was actively cleaning out radiation, experienced vomiting phases during which the vomit itself contained radioactive matter, not metaphorically, but literally. He confirmed this by having patient vomit analyzed in a laboratory. The vomiting, in his framework, is the cure, not the symptom of the disease, and attempting to suppress it with medication blocks the body's primary elimination pathway.

He also described his own experience: he suffered constant nausea, vomiting, and often diarrhea for years following radiation treatments. He did not frame this as the treatments causing unavoidable suffering, he framed it as the body working to eliminate the poison over a long period.

The Iodine Taste Aajonus described experiencing a specific iodine taste during episodes of radiation nausea, which he had on average once a year, forty-three years after his treatments. He reinterpreted this taste not as a random neurological phenomenon but as the body cycling through and attempting to eliminate radioactively charged iodine that was injected into him before his radiation treatments. He argued this demonstrates that the radioactive life of these materials is far longer than conventional physics texts acknowledge.

Gum Recession and Bone Dissolution Around Teeth Conventional medicine might frame this as a side effect of radiation therapy damaging oral mucosa and bone. Aajonus reinterpreted it as the body purposefully leaching calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus from the jaw bones to neutralize the radioactively charged minerals throughout the body. The body was doing the correct thing, sacrificing the bones around the teeth in order to protect more vital systems. His teeth dangled in his gums because the bone had been fully dissolved by the body's own mineral-extraction process. He bled profusely when he closed his jaws and required up to two blood transfusions per week.

The purple color of his gums he described as a persistent indicator of radiation poisoning, his gums remained purple for decades.

Spinal Rigidity and Pain The cauterization of his spine was, in his framing, not a side effect but the direct physical effect of excessive thermal and radioactive energy applied to living tissue that behaves, at the cellular and structural level, exactly like malleable clay fired in a kiln. The spine became pottery, rigid, hard, non-permeable, non-malleable, because that is what radiation does to living tissue at high enough doses. His movement was reduced to a barely perceptible range of motion, he could not sit without forty-five minutes of painful maneuvering, and he crawled on his elbows for extended periods. This was not framed as a complication, it was framed as the predictable result of firing ionizing radiation through living structural tissue.

Skin Burns Burns emerging from the skin, including the burn he experienced from radioactively contaminated steel, were not simply heat burns. Aajonus distinguished chemical and radiation burns from heat burns: chemical burns damage nerves first, so a person often does not feel them occurring, and they manifest later as blisters and open wounds that look like severe second through fourth degree burns. He noted that a genuine heat burn sufficient to cause second through fourth degree burns would be immediately and acutely felt, the person would know at once. The absence of immediate sensation followed by the appearance of severe burn lesions is the distinguishing characteristic of a radiation or chemical burn.

He described his steel-related incident: barely scratching the surface of his hand, going only one layer under skin, and within one hour having a large blister form as if from a severe burn. He identified the steel as radioactively contaminated after calling the manufacturer.

Itching During Healing When a patient asked whether the itching sensation during healing of a burn was a good sign, Aajonus affirmed that it was, the itchiness indicates cellular activity and repair. This applies both to chemical burns from vaccines and to radiation burns, in his framing.

Irritability and Hatred Aajonus described the psychological symptoms of radiation poisoning, extreme irritability, hating everyone, as physiological in origin, not psychological. He described a patient who came out of chemotherapy as a hateful person and noted that these mood states are direct results of the toxicity in the blood. When the body is eliminating radiation through vomiting on the Primal Diet, the person will go through this same irritability because the same toxic material is cycling through the blood on its way out.

Blood Cancer (Multiple Myeloma / Leukemia) and Bone Cancer These are not, in Aajonus's framework, separate diseases that happen to appear after radiation therapy. They are the direct, predictable result of radiation damaging bone marrow. Radiation causes bone cancer. Radiation causes leukemia. It causes them by damaging the marrow. He received these diagnoses within six weeks of completing his radiation therapy.

Purpling of Gums A specific, persistent sign of radiation poisoning in Aajonus's observation: the gums turn purple and remain so for an extended period. He noted his own gums were purple for decades following radiation treatment.

---

Aajonus developed his protocol for radiation burn poisoning from his own experience surviving extreme radiation therapy in 1968 and from working with at least one hundred patients who also suffered radiation treatments. He stated that his remedies effectively reduced radioactive toxins and symptoms, and he presented them in multiple formats across different talks and written materials. Below is the complete protocol, with all details, quantities, timings, and combinations exactly as he described them:

---

Aajonus placed no-salt raw cheese at the center of the radiation protocol. He described it as absorbing and neutralizing free-radical radioactive minerals. His instructions for severely toxic patients were to eat cheese every fifteen minutes, a small piece every fifteen minutes, and to eat cheese ten minutes before eating anything else, so that when the rest of the meal is consumed and toxins are present, the cheese is already in the digestive tract ready to absorb those toxins before they can mix with the rest of the body.

For patients who were so toxic that even this timing was insufficient, he instructed them to grate a little cheese directly into their meals, so the cheese was physically mixed with the food and could absorb the toxins as they were released during digestion.

He was emphatic that this cheese must be no-salt and raw. Pasteurized or salted cheeses would not perform this function.

He also paired cheese with specific foods for additional targeted effects:

• No-salt raw butter with no-salt raw cheeses: This combination helps prevent radioactive substances from entering cells and buffers nuclear exchanges. The butter coats the cells and the cheese absorbs the free-radical minerals before they can penetrate cellular membranes.

• Pineapple with no-salt raw cheeses: This combination specifically helps dissolve cellular radiation damage and harness the byproducts of that damage. The enzymes in raw pineapple (primarily bromelain) work with the absorptive properties of the cheese to break down radiation-damaged tissue and capture the resulting waste material.

• Papaya with no-salt raw cheeses: This combination specifically helps prevent scarring from radiation burns. The papain enzymes in the papaya work alongside the cheese to prevent the formation of scar tissue in radiation-damaged areas.

---

Aajonus described eating oranges and avocados together as helping neutralize radiation in the body. He found this combination repeatedly lessened the symptoms of radiation poisoning, especially nausea and the burn sensation, across his own experience and in working with patients. He stated that when taken regularly, radiation symptoms eased dramatically.

He acknowledged the possibility that this combination may have only ameliorated the symptoms rather than definitively removing radiation, but argued that the consistent and dramatic easing of symptoms, particularly nausea and burn, across many patients over many years constituted strong evidence of genuine neutralizing activity.

He also stated that eating avocado with orange or with melons facilitates the body's ability to discard stored radiation.

He noted that for people who received barium or iodine injections prior to radiation treatments, this combination was specifically valuable (the passage trails off in the source, but the specific mention of barium and iodine preceding the orange/avocado recommendation suggests he had particular protocol details for injected contrast materials).

---

Aajonus specified eating aloe vera gel directly from the plant, not from any commercial preparation, not from any store-bought product. He was explicit: do not eat the green skin, eat only the interior gel. This soothes and heals radiation burns from the inside.

He also recommended applying aloe vera gel topically to burns. For skin-level radiation burns or chemical burns of the type produced by vaccine detoxification, he recommended applying fresh raw aloe vera gel to the wound directly, and suggested continuing daily application for several weeks after all wounds had sealed, then reducing to at least twice weekly for several additional weeks. The purpose of continued application after wound closure is to strengthen the new cells which are exposed to the poisons or still have them in them, so that those cells do not turn into dead scar tissue.

He made a clear distinction between aloe vera gel from the plant and aloe vera from the store. Only the plant-fresh gel carries the living enzymes and compounds he considered effective.

---

One ounce of raw milk consumed once hourly helps protect the intestines and nerves from radiation damage. This is a continuous, hourly protocol, not a large quantity consumed at meals, but a small, steady, hourly dose. The rationale, consistent with Aajonus's overall framework, is that the milk provides a continuous coating and nourishing presence in the intestinal tract, feeding and protecting the intestinal lining that is continuously being damaged by radioactive minerals in the gut.

He also referenced using raw milk mixed with Terramin clay as a specific purging protocol (see Clay section below), and using raw milk to make yogurt or kefir if the milk source was potentially contaminated, after treating it with clay to settle out the radioactive particles.

He described drinking all of his food, liquefied through a straw, during the period following radiation therapy when he had no bone around his teeth, and that consuming large quantities of raw dairy over approximately one year restored the mandible bones sufficiently that he could chew again with very little gum bleeding. He was explicit: it took about one year on lots of raw dairy to restore all the bone around his teeth. He framed this as remarkable speed of restoration for such complete bone dissolution.

---

This combination supports digestion and healing in the radiation-damaged body. Aajonus placed this alongside the other butter combination (butter with cheese) as part of the overall radiation protocol. The honey provides enzymes and sugars that the damaged digestive system can process more easily, and the butter provides fats that soothe and support cellular regeneration.

---

Aajonus stated that animal fat has a tendency to clean toxic tissue out of the body, including drugs and, specifically, radiation. He described it as the quickest way to clean out radiation therapy or chemotherapy from the body. He distinguished between types of fat:

• Animal fat generally: Tends to clean toxic tissue and drugs from the body. Best for actively removing radiation residue from tissues.
• Cream specifically: The only fat Aajonus stated he knew of that soothes the nervous system. He connected the nervous system damage of radiation, particularly the kind of nerve damage that results in sensitivity and pain, to the specific soothing action of cream.

He made an observation about summer ice cream consumption: people crave ice cream in summer because the sun's radiation beats down on people who lack proper fats in the skin tissue. In those with adequate animal fat in the skin, solar radiation is absorbed into the fat and transformed into vitamin D and complex fats and cholesterols. The craving for cream in the summer is, in his framing, the body's intelligent response to radiation exposure, seeking the fat it needs to process that radiation safely.

---

Aajonus described clay as a tool that draws out and neutralizes radiation both through the skin and through the intestines:

Clay Bath (External): Applying wet clay over the body, keeping it moist, draws radiation out of the body through the skin. This is described as a clay bath, meaning the clay is applied to the skin surface and kept moist during the application period. He was not specific about duration in the passages provided, but the mechanism he described is one of drawing and neutralizing, the clay attracts and binds radioactive particles, pulling them out through the skin.

He also mentioned that for people carrying nuclear material in specific areas of the body (he referenced a patient with nuclear material in the back), using a hot water bottle over the area regularly, as often as possible every night, as long as possible, could help perspire the material out of the body. He explicitly cautioned against surgical removal, noting that if radioactive material is in some fluid and that fluid gets loose during surgery, the consequences could be severe.

Clay in Milk (Internal): 1 tablespoon of moist Terramin clay blended in 3 ounces of raw milk, consumed 2 to 4 times daily, draws out and neutralizes radiation and radioactive particles through the intestines.

He provided specific instructions for treating potentially radioactively contaminated raw milk: add 4 tablespoons of moist Terramin clay to each gallon of raw milk. Allow the clay to settle. The settled portion of the milk, the clay and what has settled with it, is to be discarded. The milk above the settled clay (approximately 3/4 inch above the settled clay line) is kept and drunk as normal, or used to make yogurt, kefir, or cheeses. An additional 1 tablespoon of moist clay may be added to the drinking portion for additional protection, but he instructed to consume the clay with the milk rather than separately, to avoid losing too many beneficial minerals. Instructions for preparing moist clay are, pages 181 and 182.

---

For burned cells specifically, including radiation burns, Aajonus prescribed a specific blended formula: 15 raw eggs, 2 unripe bananas, and 1/2 cup unheated honey, blended together and consumed within 4 hours of making. This formula heals and strengthens burned cells. He recommended adding fresh raw aloe vera gel to this recipe to improve results.

For the rest of the day following this formula, he prescribed eating plenty of raw full-fat milk and honey, or raw fresh unripe fruit and raw fish, and getting plenty of fresh air in the shade, to soothe and refresh the body.

---

Aajonus mentioned fresh parsley, 15 sprigs daily, in the context of a broader protocol involving additional fat consumption. While the specific context in the sources was nail health, the proximity to radiation-related discussions suggests it was part of a broader detoxification support protocol in his practice.

---

Specifically paired with no-salt raw cheese, pineapple was identified as dissolving cellular radiation damage and harnessing (capturing) the byproducts of that cellular dissolution. The fresh pineapple enzymes are the active agent; the cheese absorbs the released radioactive material so it does not re-enter the body.

---

Paired with no-salt raw cheese, papaya helps prevent scarring from radiation burns. This pairing is specific to the scarring prevention function, the papain enzymes in fresh papaya working alongside the absorptive capacity of the raw cheese.

---

For external radiation burns and chemical burns (including vaccine-related chemical burns), Aajonus described a specific topical application:

• Apply raw meat and honey directly to the burn.
• He acknowledged this causes stinging and burning for approximately one hour after application, then calms down.
• He instructed that during the itching phase (which he confirmed is a good sign, indicating cellular repair), it is okay to gently press and hold the area when it itches, but not to scratch it when it is still tender.
• Fresh raw aloe vera gel may be added to the topical formula for better results.
• Continue daily application for several weeks after all wounds have sealed.
• Then reduce to at least twice weekly application for additional weeks.

---

Aajonus was explicit that radiation poisoning recovery is a long, difficult, multi-year process. He provided specific timelines from his own experience and from observations of patients:

Bone Restoration Around Teeth After radiation destroyed all the bone around his teeth, causing his teeth to dangle, profuse bleeding, and the need for up to two transfusions per week, Aajonus consumed large quantities of raw dairy. Within a few months, bone restoration began. Within approximately one year of consuming lots of raw dairy, the mandible bones were restored and he could chew with very little gum bleeding. He described this as remarkably fast. "Only took a year to restore all the bone around my teeth," he said, framing the year as a short period given the severity of the dissolution.

Gum Coloring His gums remained purple, a sign of radiation poisoning, for decades after treatment. The purple coloration persisted long after the acute crisis had resolved.

Gum Bleeding Minor gum bleeding during teeth brushing continued for forty-three years after his radiation treatments. He documented this in writing, noting it as an ongoing, if minor, indicator of the lasting effects of radiation.

Radiation Nausea Episodes On average once per year, forty-three years after his radiation treatments, Aajonus still experienced intense radiation nausea and an iodine taste. He attributed these episodes to the radioactively charged iodine that had been injected into him, insisting the material retains its radioactive charge far longer than conventional physics texts indicate.

Spinal Recovery Aajonus did recover mobility in his spine through the Primal Diet, the raw food diet was able to restore the tissue that had been cauterized. This is implied by the fact that he was speaking, moving, and functioning at seminars decades later. However, he did not specify the exact timeline for spinal recovery in the passages provided.

The Vomiting Phase During Detoxification When the body is strong enough, fed adequately on the Primal Diet, it will begin actively eliminating radiation. This is characterized by vomiting phases that can be severe. Aajonus described patients who vomited six to eleven times per day during active elimination phases. He told one woman that the vomiting phase during radiation detoxification would be very difficult, that the radioactive matter would literally dump into the stomach and be vomited out, and that during this phase the symptoms of radiation poisoning, mass vomiting, nausea, irritability, hating everybody, would be present precisely because the body was genuinely cleaning out the radiation. He framed this as good news, the body finally able to eliminate what was stored, while acknowledging it would be very difficult.

Ongoing Chronic Accumulation Aajonus described the chronic, lifelong buildup of radiation from environmental sources as an ongoing process. He noted that the radiation accumulation from environmental sources just adds more to the chronic buildup already in the system, unless the person is actively using moist ceramic clay and other protocols to continuously counteract it.

Six-Year Organ Recovery Estimate For liver and kidney in significant compromised condition (from multiple causes including toxic accumulation), Aajonus estimated approximately six years of consistent hot water bottle application to the affected area as part of the healing process.
