Aajonus identified shakes and tremors not as a disease in themselves, but as physiological signals, the body's communication that something specific is happening at the biochemical and neurological level. He described the condition in two distinct categories, each with its own root cause, its own presentation, and its own protocol.

His first and most foundational definition:

This definition is precise and mechanistic. The shaking is not psychological, not neurological disease in the conventional sense, not a structural nerve problem in most cases, it is the body's response to an insufficiency of blood protein that has reached a threshold where the muscles and nervous system can no longer maintain stable, controlled function.

The second category of shakes and tremors involves active detoxification, the body simultaneously releasing high concentrations of specific heavy metals and chemical compounds through tissues and the nervous system. In this context, the shaking is not a deficiency state but an active eliminative event. As Aajonus wrote in direct correspondence:

These are two meaningfully different phenomena that happen to share the same outward presentation, shaking, trembling, involuntary movement, but require different interventions. Aajonus was explicit about which protocol applied to which cause.

He also addressed a third type of trembling, nervous twitches and jerking, which he attributed to irritants acting directly on neurological tissue. He explained:

So there are at minimum three distinct presentations Aajonus grouped under this subject: 1. Shakes from low blood protein 2. Shakes/tremors from simultaneous detoxification of cadmium, aluminum, and ammonia 3. Nervous twitches and jerking from neurological irritants (including acids like vitamin C and other compounds)

Each has a different cause, different trigger, and different remedy in his framework.

The primary root cause of the shakes as a general, chronic, or recurring condition is low blood protein. This is not simply low dietary protein intake, it is a failure of blood protein levels to remain adequate for the sustained, stable function of muscles and nerves. Aajonus was clear that the shaking sensation, inner or outer trembling that feels uncontrollable, most frequently stems from this specific deficiency state.

He connected this to protein assimilation problems as a complicating factor. Not everyone who eats protein absorbs it efficiently. For people with impaired protein assimilation, eating raw meat alone may not be sufficient to stop the shakes, because even if the food is consumed, the body cannot break it down and deliver the protein to the blood adequately. In these cases, he recommended additional support through raw mushrooms and unheated honey alongside the raw meat, as these assist the body in resolving the underlying assimilation problem over time.

This cause is specific and highly particular. The body, when releasing large amounts of two heavy metals, cadmium and aluminum, simultaneously alongside ammonia, produces a shaking response. The source of these toxins and the trigger for their simultaneous release is important. In the documented cases in Aajonus's correspondence, the trigger was prolonged soaking at hot sulphur springs, eleven hours of immersion. The heat, combined with the sulphur and mineral content of the water, apparently mobilized stored cadmium and aluminum from tissues while simultaneously generating or mobilizing ammonia.

The fact that the same patient experienced the same shaking episode the previous month under the same conditions (11 hours at the hot springs) confirms Aajonus's diagnosis, the body had stored quantities of these specific toxins that were being pulled out by the thermal and chemical environment of the springs.

This is a terrain-based interpretation: the body is not malfunctioning, it is actively doing its work of elimination. The shaking is a side effect of the volume and combination of toxins moving through the system simultaneously.

For tremors and twitches specifically associated with the nervous system, including what other practitioners might call nervous tics, fasciculations, or neurological tremors, Aajonus attributed the cause to irritant compounds acting on neurological tissue. The most commonly cited irritant was vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which he explained operates in the body via the citric acid cycle, burning fat as fuel, but in excess creates a condition where the acid enters neurological tissue, pulls out fats, and leaves voids. This creates a jerking response as the nerve tissue responds to the damage and the loss of its protective fat.

He explained the mechanism clearly:

He extended this to other compounds:

For people with thin or lightweight body types who have little fat reserve to protect their nerves, this process is particularly aggressive and damaging.

Aajonus connected shaking after exercise or metabolic stress, what someone might conventionally label reactive hypoglycemia or low blood sugar, to a fat deficiency problem. He discussed a case where someone reported shaking in the late morning and after exercise, along with near-fainting episodes with rapid heartbeat. He explained this in the context of lactic acid buildup and inadequate fat to neutralize and carry the lactic acid out of the tissues.

In his direct correspondence on this subject, a patient described:

This confirms Aajonus had previously advised this patient that their shaking was from severe fat deficiency, even though they were consuming fats. The implication is that the body's demand for fat during active detoxification or healing can exceed what is being supplied, or that the fats being consumed are not being absorbed and utilized properly.

A related tremoring condition, restless leg syndrome, which produces involuntary movement, jerking, and inability to keep the legs still, was attributed by Aajonus to high acidity, specifically excessive uric acid or excessive vitamin C:

He connected this to vitamin C's role specifically: it only burns fat as fuel via the citric acid cycle, and when excessive, the resulting acid condition creates constant neurological irritation that manifests as twitching and involuntary movement.

He further distinguished this from what another teacher had described as a calcium/magnesium deficiency (restless leg syndrome). Aajonus's counter-explanation:

His warning here was explicit: calcium and magnesium supplements may provide temporary relief by acting as an absorbent medium for lactic acid, but they do not resolve the underlying fat deficiency, and long-term, they will create mineral deposits, calcification, in the muscles, bones, and joints.

Aajonus described his own experience with shaking in the context of a medical test, where his blood sugar dropped from 104 to 54. He made a significant and counterintuitive observation about this:

His interpretation was that the shaking was not from low blood sugar per se, but from the pancreatic activity and the metabolic transition. As his body shifted away from toxic sugar processing, he calmed down. He referenced the concept of pyruvate, a protein sugar, as the body's preferred stored form, noting that a healthy body makes glycogen from non-carbohydrates including protein, creating pyruvate, which does not produce the harmful advanced glycation end products of carbohydrate-derived glycogen.

Aajonus documented a case of violent chills and shaking during a hot bath and mummy-wrap bed-sweating protocol that lasted five hours. The patient had contracted Dengue Fever 47 years earlier. The violent chilling and shaking, combined with an acidic stomach and the exact same symptom presentation as the original Dengue Fever episode, led Aajonus to interpret this as the body detoxifying the stored residue of that old infection:

In this framework, shaking and chills are not a new disease, they are the body re-experiencing and completing an eliminative process that was not fully resolved during the original illness, now being triggered by the intensive detoxification environment of the hot bath protocol.

---

Shakes and tremors as described by Aajonus span several philosophical pillars of his framework:

Detoxification is the primary principle for understanding the shakes triggered by simultaneous cadmium, aluminum, and ammonia release, as well as the Dengue Fever flashback case. The body is actively eliminating stored toxins and the shaking is a side effect of that elimination.

Terrain Theory / Root Cause is the primary principle for understanding the low blood protein cause. The body's internal environment has become deficient, and the shaking is the symptom of that terrain insufficiency.

Cooked Food is relevant because protein assimilation problems, which underlie chronic shakes from low blood protein, are directly caused by the destruction of enzymes and bioavailable protein structures through cooking. A body that has been damaged by decades of cooked food consumption loses its ability to assimilate protein efficiently.

Raw Food is the corrective principle, raw meat, raw eggs, raw mushrooms, and unheated honey are the tools Aajonus used to correct both the deficiency state and the assimilation problem.

How to Eat is relevant to the timing and pairing protocols for stopping shakes, eating raw meat with raw fat, eating eggs alone, eating cheese every 10-15 minutes.

Microbes has a tangential connection, the stored toxins from old infections (Dengue Fever case) represent the body's incomplete elimination of microbial waste products from historical illness.

Aajonus consistently reframed the conventional interpretation of shaking and tremors as a pathological nervous system dysfunction, and instead identified them as purposeful biological events.

Conventional interpretation: Tremors and shaking indicate nerve disease, neurological dysfunction, essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, low blood sugar, anxiety disorder, or withdrawal.

Aajonus's reframe:

The sensation of inner or outer trembling that feels uncontrollable is most often the body communicating a blood protein deficit. The muscles and nerves cannot operate smoothly without adequate protein in the blood. The shaking is not the disease, it is the signal.

When shaking occurs after extended time in hot springs or thermal baths, it is not a sign of illness or contamination, it is active detoxification of heavy metals (cadmium, aluminum) and ammonia being mobilized by the thermal environment. The body is doing exactly what it should be doing; the shaking is the physical expression of that eliminative work.

When shaking occurs during or after hot bath and sweating protocols, and the symptoms precisely replicate a historical illness (Dengue Fever), Aajonus reframed this as the body completing unfinished detoxification work from decades past. The shaking is not relapse, it is resolution.

When shaking occurs after exercise or in the late morning and is associated with rapid heartbeat and near-fainting, Aajonus reframed this not as hypoglycemia in the conventional sense, but as a fat deficiency state where the body cannot properly manage lactic acid and metabolic waste from muscle activity.

Nervous twitches and jerking are reframed from neurological disease to the specific action of acidic compounds (particularly vitamin C, uric acid, or other irritants) acting on nerve tissue, pulling protective fat out of the neurological tissue and leaving exposed, irritated nerve endings that fire inappropriately.

The trembling and near-paralytic weakness seen in patients with conditions like MS (multiple sclerosis), which Aajonus consistently described as a condition involving the drying, deadening, and hardening of the nerves, is the end-stage of this nerve fat depletion process, where so much fat has been removed from neural tissue that the nerves can no longer conduct properly to muscles.

The shaking of someone being detoxed from psychotropic drugs is the nervous system regaining sensitivity after chemical suppression. In his discussion of a patient with Parkinson's disease who trembled almost all day and was barely able to speak without trembling, the improvement in three days following reduction of multiple psychotropic and neurological drugs (Lexatin, Orfidal, Seroquel) alongside introduction of the Nut Formula and a kefir-egg-honey-butter shake confirmed Aajonus's framework, the drugs were not treating a root cause but suppressing the nervous system, and the trembling was both a symptom of drug toxicity and a detoxification response.

First-line intervention:

This is the primary, first-line protocol. The combination of raw meat and raw fat, not either alone, is specified. The fat is essential because, as Aajonus repeatedly explained throughout his teachings, fat is required to carry nutrients into and toxins out of tissues, to protect nerves, and to allow proper metabolic function. Raw meat without fat will supply protein but may not be sufficient.

Timing: The effect is expected within 30 minutes of eating.

Second-line intervention (for those who cannot tolerate or don't respond to raw meat):

This is a specific instruction: 1 to 4 raw eggs, consumed alone, with no other foods, for a window of half an hour to one hour. The isolation of the eggs without other foods is deliberate, combining with other foods may impair the protein absorption in people who need this approach.

Third-line intervention (for protein assimilation problems underlying chronic shakes):

This is a longer-term corrective protocol for people whose shaking is chronic because their bodies cannot properly break down and utilize protein even when it is consumed. Raw mushrooms (not cooked) and unheated honey (not heated above 93°F, which begins to destroy bee-manufactured enzymes) eaten together with raw meat supports the enzymatic environment needed for protein assimilation.

This is a highly specific protocol with precise quantities and timing. One teaspoon of cheese, not a larger amount, not in different forms, every ten to fifteen minutes, continuing until the shaking resolves. The mechanism in Aajonus's framework is that cheese acts as a sponge for toxins, it absorbs toxins in the digestive tract and neurological environment, preventing them from causing further irritation while the body completes its elimination. The small, frequent doses maintain a consistent level of this absorptive capacity throughout the tissues.

This protocol was given in the specific context of post-hot-springs shaking (after 11 hours of immersion), but the formula itself, cheese every 10-15 minutes, appears to be the standard protocol whenever this specific combination of heavy metal and ammonia detox is producing shaking.

For people with any kind of neurological disorder, including those manifesting tremors, twitches, jerking, or neurological shaking, Aajonus specified a cream-heavy milkshake protocol:

The cream shake formula: - Standard/average person: 2 eggs, 3 oz cream, 2-3 oz milk, 1 tablespoon honey - Large person: 5-6 eggs, 5 oz cream, 4 oz milk, 1-2 tablespoons honey - Minimum: Proportions should not go below the stated ratios; possibly 1 egg for very small people, but same cream-to-milk ratio - If too sweet: Reduce honey to 1 teaspoon

The cream-to-milk ratio is critical: equal amounts of cream to milk, or more cream than milk. This is specifically because neurological tissue requires fat, the cream provides the fat necessary to protect, repair, and soothe nerve tissue. Milk alone, or milk-dominant formulas, do not provide sufficient fat for the neurological protective function.

He further specified regarding milk in neurological contexts:

The honey must be unheated. Honey that has been taken to 101°F, even if labeled "unheated" by sellers who heat to that temperature, is already compromised. The enzyme manufactured by bees that makes raw honey beneficial begins altering at 93°F and is destroyed between 99-100°F. Above that threshold, the honey becomes "high carbohydrate again" rather than the enzymatically active food that supports sugar metabolism and toxin elimination.

The core protocol for shaking related to fat deficiency is to substantially increase fat consumption, particularly cream, butter, and raw fat alongside protein. Aajonus's discussions of muscle cramping, twitching, and shaking from lactic acid accumulation consistently pointed to the need for more fat in the tissues to neutralize lactic acid and carry it out of the body.

He mentioned specifically:

For protection against charley horses and muscle spasms during periods of dietary transition or fruit consumption, he recommended:

For a person trembling almost all day, barely able to speak without trembling, and in a near-invalid state (consistent with Parkinson's disease plus heavy pharmaceutical burden), Aajonus recommended:

• The Nut Formula (Aajonus's specific Parkinson's formula), once a day
• A shake of kefir with 1 egg, honey, and butter, or the Moisturizing/Lubricating Formula

These were given in small quantities, once a day, one hour after lunch, with the note that the person had difficulties eating and swallowing. The patient improved within three days.

---

Resolution is expected within 30 minutes of eating raw meat with raw fat. This is a rapid, acute intervention with a fast response time.

For those requiring eggs instead: improvement within the ½ to 1 hour window of eating 1-4 raw eggs alone.

Resolution by eating 1 tsp of cheese every 10-15 minutes until the shaking stops. No specific timeline is given for this, but the implication is that the shaking ceases when the body completes its elimination or when enough cheese has been consumed to buffer the toxic load adequately.

This episode lasted approximately 5 hours of violent chilling and shakes, followed by the patient spending much of the next day in bed feeling wiped out and not hungry, but the chills and shakes being over. The total acute episode resolved within approximately 24 hours, with lingering fatigue the following day.

This was characterized as a single major detox episode rather than a chronic condition, consistent with the body completing stored elimination work from a 47-year-old infection.

For people with protein assimilation problems, Aajonus did not give a specific timeline in the source passages, but indicated that regularly eating raw mushrooms and unheated honey with raw meat "usually resolves it." The word "regularly" implies this is a longer-term corrective process rather than an acute one.

The patient described as trembling almost all day and barely able to speak without trembling showed improvement within three days of receiving the Nut Formula and the kefir-egg-honey-butter shake, concurrent with reduction of four of her pharmaceutical drugs.

Aajonus referenced a patient who had severe speech problems, near-paralysis of the tongue and swallowing, and other neurological dysfunction. Over four years on the diet, the transformation was "astounding", by the four-year mark, the speech problem was barely detectable. This suggests that deep neurological repair from fat and protein through the raw diet occurs over a multi-year timeline for severe cases.
