Urethritis
ImmuneUrethritisAlso known as Urethral Pain

Urethra infection pain, in Aajonus's framework, is not a disease of the urethra itself in any isolated sense. It is a symptom complex that arises most commonly from the mechanical scraping and irritation caused by kidney or gallbladder stones as they pass through the urethra. The urethra is simply the passage that gets abraded and irritated by material originating upstream, stones, crystals, and toxic mineral deposits that the body has been accumulating, sometimes for decades, and is now attempting to discharge.

Aajonus's Definition

Urethra infection pain, in Aajonus's framework, is not a disease of the urethra itself in any isolated sense. It is a symptom complex that arises most commonly from the mechanical scraping and irritation caused by kidney or gallbladder stones as they pass through the urethra. The urethra is simply the passage that gets abraded and irritated by material originating upstream, stones, crystals, and toxic mineral deposits that the body has been accumulating, sometimes for decades, and is now attempting to discharge.

He is explicit: "Most often, urethra problems stem from kidney or gallbladder stones that scrape and irritate the urethra as stones pass through the urethra."

This means the urethra itself is rarely the originating site of the problem. It is a downstream victim of a stone-forming process that begins in the kidney or bladder. The pain, the burning, the blood, and the obstruction are all consequences of that stone-passage process. In cases where stones are not present, Aajonus observed that toxicity concentrating in the walls of the urinary tract itself, what he called toxicity going to the urinary walls, can produce identical symptoms without any stone being present at all.

He also documented, from his own personal experience, that urethral anatomy itself can be a contributing factor. He described how his own urethra had never developed beyond infancy, the tract from the bladder through the prostate to the base of the penis had remained extremely fine and narrow, never growing to adult dimensions. This anatomical narrowness meant that even slow, low-grade stone formation created massive obstructive symptoms over a lifetime, without the classic acute pain that normally signals the presence of stones.

In his framework, when the body creates what conventional medicine calls a "bladder infection", characterized by pain, urgency, and frequent need to urinate, that is a detoxification process, not a pathological invasion. The body is using microbial activity to cleanse damaged or toxin-laden cellular walls. The urethra infection or pain is therefore part of this same cleansing continuum.

Root Cause

Root Cause

Aajonus identifies several distinct root causes for urethra infection and pain, and he is precise about each:

Primary Cause: Kidney and Bladder Stones Scraping the Urethra

The most common root cause is stones, kidney stones, bladder stones, or both, that form over months or years and then begin to move through the urinary tract. As these stones or stone fragments pass through the urethra, they scrape and lacerate the urethral walls, causing intense pain, bleeding, and inflammation.

In Aajonus's own case, he documented that mercury from childhood vaccines had collected in his bladder beginning when he was approximately two to three years old, and over 56 to 58 years had formed what became the largest bladder stone ever documented in that urologist's clinical and literary experience. The stone was described as being "this long and this big around", longer than his thumb, with a circumference larger than his thumb. Its core, according to the urologist, was the size of a large marble and consisted almost entirely of metal: mercury, lead, and other heavy metals from vaccines he had received as an infant and young child.

He is unambiguous: the root of his stone formation was heavy metal accumulation from vaccines. The mercury from tetanus shots and other childhood vaccines had concentrated in his bladder and crystallized over decades into this massive stone.

Secondary Cause: Incomplete Bladder Emptying

Aajonus also identified incomplete bladder emptying as a contributory cause of stone formation. His mother, impatient with how long it took him to urinate, had trained him to stop urinating before his bladder was fully empty, to just take the pressure off and stop. He was told by the urologist that if you do not completely empty the bladder, stones will be created. Residual urine left in the bladder provides the substrate from which mineral concentrations can precipitate and build up over time.

Third Cause: Vegetable Oils, Soy, and Demineralization

He described a patient, a vegetarian for 32 years who had lived on soy chips, who had developed multiple small bladder stones. In that case, the mechanism was demineralization caused by a vegetable-based diet that left the body depleted of properly bioavailable minerals, while simultaneously depositing poorly-assimilable mineral forms from cooked and processed plant foods. The soy chips provided mineral concentrations that, combined with the vegetable oils involved, kept collecting and crystallizing into stones. He noted: "Again, vegetable oils. Beans, you have a vegetable oil. Hardly crystallized. So it kept collecting."

Fourth Cause: Toxicity Concentrating in the Urinary Walls

Aajonus separately identified a cause where no stones are present at all. He described referring several patients with identical urethral pain symptoms to a urologist who used ultrasound rather than x-rays, and finding that none of them had stones. Their urinary walls themselves had problems: toxicity was concentrating in the walls of the urinary tract, producing the same scraping, burning, and obstructive sensations as stones passing through. This is a distinct mechanism where the urethra or bladder wall itself becomes the site of toxic accumulation and detoxification.

Fifth Cause: Antibiotic and Medical Damage

In correspondence, Aajonus addressed urethral discomfort following medical procedures, specifically laser treatment of the bladder, and stated that if the doctor had lasered the bladder, that would likely cause discomfort until completely healed, estimating three to six weeks. He also identified Cipro (ciprofloxacin) as causing hemolytic-uremic syndrome, which is a dissolving kidney disease. He connected the use of antibiotics to the presence of E. coli in the urine, noting that E. coli in the urine indicates that antibiotics were consumed. He stated: "Custard was to help correct damage by antibiotics."

Sixth Cause: Iodine from Medical Procedures

In the case of a woman experiencing strong uncomfortable urge to urinate following a D&C procedure after a miscarriage, Aajonus identified iodine used to clean the uterus as a potential cause of toxicity now manifesting in urinary symptoms. He framed this as the body detoxifying the iodine from a prior medical intervention, noting: "Additional harm to the area may have been caused by iodine used with the D&C."

Why This Happens

Why This Happens

Urethra infection pain spans multiple principles of Aajonus's philosophical framework simultaneously:

Root Cause / Terrain Theory: The fundamental mechanism is the body accumulating toxins, primarily heavy metals from vaccines, but also from vegetable oils, soy, and other processed foods, in the kidneys and bladder, where they precipitate into stones or concentrate in the urethral and bladder walls. The terrain, not any external "infection," determines whether and how badly the urethra suffers.

Detoxification: Both the stone-passage events and the wall-toxicity episodes are detoxification processes, the body is attempting to mobilize and discharge accumulated poisons. The pain, blood, and obstruction are side effects of that discharge.

Microbes: When conventional medicine identifies bacteria in the urine and calls it a urinary tract infection, Aajonus reframes this entirely: "Remember that an infection is a cleansing." The microbes are not causing damage; they are the janitors cleaning up the damaged and toxin-laden tissue. He states explicitly: "If you've got bladder infections, why do you have a bladder infection? Some toxicity is getting into cellular walls of the bladder. It's not a bladder condition. It is a dietary condition, an environmental condition of poisons getting into those tissues. Antibiotics are not going to help you. You've got an infection in there. Those are janitors. Why do you want to wipe out the janitors?"

Cooked Food: The demineralization and toxic mineral accumulation that leads to stone formation is tied directly to cooked and processed food consumption, soy chips, vegetable oils, pasteurized and cooked foods that deposit unusable minerals while depleting the body's bioavailable mineral reserves.

Sovereignty: Aajonus's own experience is a direct demonstration of medical sovereignty, he refused x-rays, chose a urologist who would use only ultrasound, refused antibiotics both before and after surgery, refused all IV additives except glucose water, and managed his own recovery with raw diet protocols.

Symptoms Reframed

Symptoms Reframed

Pain in the penis or urethra with no apparent cause: Aajonus described his own experience of this precisely: "The penis, the end of my penis started getting stabbing, shooting, razor sharp, needle sharp stabs and scrapes. And I couldn't understand why because nothing was coming out of my urine that was causing it. No stones, no crystals, no nothing." He eventually discovered that a massive bladder stone was the source, it was blocking the urinary passage and causing pressure and pain to radiate through the penis and shaft without any visible passage of stone material.

Inability to urinate or obstruction: He described having to lift his leg like a dog, literally raising one leg while standing at the toilet, to be able to urinate at all. This was the stone inside the bladder shifting position when the leg was raised, momentarily unblocking the outflow passage. Without lifting the leg, urination was completely impossible.

Slow, narrow urinary stream lasting minutes: Aajonus describes a lifetime of taking two to three minutes to begin urinating and then another two to three minutes to finish, always a thin, slow stream. He notes: "I do not remember ever urinating in less than 4 minutes. Sometimes, it took me up to 6 minutes, 4.5 minutes to begin and 1.5 minutes to empty. Those are all signs of kidney and/or bladder stones but without the pain that normally accompanies them." He had normalized this his entire life without recognizing it as pathological.

Blood in urine: A small amount of blood appearing after urination, what he described as "a few drops of blood" appearing after urine when on planes, was the first acute warning sign he noticed after years of slow-stream urination. In conventional medicine this triggers alarm. In Aajonus's framework, it signals that the stone is now actively scraping urethral tissue as it moves or shifts.

Urgent, uncomfortable urge to urinate: He reframes this, in the case of a woman with no prior bladder infection in 20 years who suddenly experienced a strong uncomfortable urge to urinate for three consecutive hours, as the body returning to cleanse an area it had previously had a problem with. He states: "As I stated in my books, any part of the body where there had been a problem has not been properly cleansed and healed and will cleanse and heal periodically with old symptoms returning."

Bladder wall thickening: The urologist found that Aajonus's bladder wall was four inches thick, an extraordinary finding that was the result of decades of the bladder straining against an obstructed outflow. His bladder wall "should only be this thick" (normal), and instead it had massively hypertrophied over 56 years of partial obstruction. This was a structural consequence of the stone, not a disease of the bladder itself.

Prickly feeling in the bladder when urine collects: In correspondence, a patient described "a small prickly feeling every time it collects in my bladder, as well as when I relieve myself." Aajonus connected this to damage caused by antibiotic use and recommended custard to help correct antibiotic damage.

E. coli in urine: Aajonus reframes this not as an infection to be treated but as evidence that antibiotics were consumed: "E. coli in your urine indicates that you consumed antibiotics." He stated: "The E. coli is never a problem anywhere in the body."

Food Protocol

Food Protocol

Aajonus provides several distinct food protocols for urethra infection and pain, varying by the specific presentation:

Primary Protocol, Raw Milk Diet Only:

The most dramatic protocol he describes is for James, the case study embedded: "James suffered with this problem for weeks. I suggested long hot baths that helped when he could get them. (His home was equipped with a shower but not bathtub.) Finally after many weeks, he began eating a raw milk diet only. Within 24 hours, all of his pain subsided."

The precise formula he recommends for this protocol is: - 4 to 6 tablespoons raw cream added to every 28 ounces of milk - 2 tablespoons unheated honey added to every 28 ounces of milk

This is a complete diet protocol, raw milk with cream and honey, nothing else, maintained until the pain subsides.

Protocol for Kidney Stones (which he cross-references directly):

Because he states that most urethra problems stem from kidney or gallbladder stones, he cross-references the kidney stones protocol directly. He instructs: "Most cases readily responded to the suggestion for kidney stones. "

Pain Management Formula (from his personal stone-passage experience):

Aajonus describes preparing and taking his pain formula immediately upon regaining consciousness after his surgical procedure. While he does not name the exact formula in this excerpt, he had it ready the moment he came out of the operating room. He had also used unheated honey/butter mixture during the period of stone-related pain, eating it multiple times to reduce pain. He also used approximately 2 inches of unripe banana with 2 tablespoons raw butter to reduce pain during acute episodes.

Milkshake upon hospital discharge:

He specifically describes having a milkshake in his bag that he sipped immediately upon regaining consciousness. While he does not give the exact composition in these passages, this was a prepared raw primal milkshake that was his first food after the procedure.

Custard Formula for Antibiotic Damage / Urinary Discomfort:

For urinary discomfort following antibiotic use or laser procedure damage, Aajonus recommended: - Custard: 2-3 times weekly for 10 weeks

He does not specify the exact custard formula ingredients in these passages, but references his book's recipe. The purpose of the custard was specifically to help correct damage by antibiotics and rebuild the tissue that had been harmed.

Additionally, for the same patient: - Approximately 2 teaspoons of wet clay (as described in his book) consumed with a vegetable juice once or twice daily as a supplementary protocol.

Bladder Infection Protocol (cross-referenced as relevant to urethral pain):

For bladder infections, which Aajonus treats as related to urethral pain conditions, he specifies: - Raw fresh grapefruit juice drunk throughout the day - Butter/honey mixture eaten every half hour for as long as it takes to calm the bladder

For prevention and for people prone to these conditions: - 4 ounces raw fresh beet juice twice weekly, OR - 4 ounces fresh raw lime juice blended with 2 tablespoons unheated honey added to 4 ounces of good mineral water, to keep bacterial levels low and help detoxify the bladder a little every day so that discomforting, exorbitant infection is rarely, if ever, necessary.

For Strong Urge to Urinate (D&C / Iodine Detox case):

Aajonus's response in the Q&A is framed around understanding that this is a cleansing episode. He indicates this is a detoxification of iodine used in the medical procedure, and frames the management around allowing the detoxification to proceed. He does not in these excerpts specify a distinct food remedy for this particular presentation beyond what he addresses in his books for such cleansing episodes.

For Pain in the Penis Before Urination (potential prostate involvement):

In the correspondence about a patient experiencing pain in the penis before urinating, with slow and low-volume urination, Aajonus's response in these passages does not give a complete food protocol but the patient's other protocols were ongoing raw egg consumption (4 eggs per day). The question of prostate involvement was raised but not definitively answered in the excerpted passage.

Hot Bath Protocol (systemic pain relief):

For James, whose home had no bathtub, long hot baths were the primary suggestion before the milk diet, and they helped when he could access them. Aajonus consistently recommends heat as the primary physical intervention for pain: "If you apply heat, everything relaxes and it can allow for expansion, all that nutrients coming into the area with very little pain or no pain. That simple. So, apply heat in all conditions."

During his own stone-passage crisis and post-surgical recovery, Aajonus used a bathtub with two cups of coconut cream added to the bath water, lying in coconut cream-enriched warm water, which caused the pain to go away within minutes of immersion.

What to Avoid

What to Avoid

  • i
    Antibiotics, Absolutely:

  • ii

    Aajonus is unambiguous and emphatic about avoiding antibiotics for any urinary condition. He states: "Yes, do not ever take antibiotics again." He specifically identified Cipro (ciprofloxacin), the antibiotic given to a patient after bladder stone removal, as causing hemolytic-uremic syndrome, which is a dissolving kidney disease. His description: "Cipro causes HUS (hemolytic-uremic syndrome), that is, dissolving kidney disease. How wonderful of him to want you to damage your kidney to get rid of a detoxification of the damaged tissue in your bladder."

  • iii

    He warned that antibiotics destroy the microbial janitors that are doing the cleansing work in the urinary tract: "You've got an infection in there. Those are janitors. Why do you want to wipe out the janitors? There's a janitor trying to make your bladder well, your kidneys well. Why would you destroy your janitors? Oh, it's paleo. Stop the infection. Yeah, but that's temporary. You're going to end up with a disease in your kidneys or bladder because you've gotten rid of your janitors."

  • iv
    X-Rays for Diagnosis:

  • v

    Aajonus repeatedly and consistently refused x-rays for any diagnostic purpose related to his urinary problems. He always insisted on ultrasound (sonogram) rather than x-rays. He advised his patients the same way: "I advised him to find a urologist who used ultrasound rather than x-rays to diagnose urinary problems." This is presented not merely as a preference but as the correct approach, he sent multiple patients specifically to the one urologist he knew would use ultrasound.

  • vi
    IV Antibiotics and Antibiotic Injections:

  • vii

    During his surgical procedure for bladder stone removal, Aajonus specifically instructed the urologist that he was not to receive any antibiotic injections or antibiotics in the IV under any circumstances. He told the urologist: "I was not to receive anything in me or my IV except glucose water, not even saline." He also refused saline. The urologist argued with him for approximately ten minutes, saying he would not perform the procedure without antibiotics. Aajonus held firm.

  • viii
    Incomplete Bladder Emptying:

  • ix

    The urologist specifically told Aajonus that if you do not completely empty the bladder, stones will be created. His mother's impatience had trained him, as a child, to stop urinating before emptying completely. He identifies this as a contributory cause of stone formation.

  • x
    The Dietary Patterns That Cause Stone Formation:

  • xi

    Prolonged vegetarian or vegan diets, particularly those heavy in soy products and vegetable oils, produce demineralization that Aajonus identifies as a cause of stone-building. The case of the vegetarian for 32 years who lived on soy chips, continuously building multiple small bladder stones, is presented as the archetype of this mechanism. Soy, beans, and vegetable oils are specifically named as stone-contributing substances.

  • xii
    Vaccines (as the original cause of heavy metal stone formation):

  • xiii

    While this is not a "what to avoid now" in the context of treating existing urethral pain, Aajonus explicitly identified childhood vaccines, specifically tetanus shots and other injections, as the root cause of his own bladder stone formation. The mercury from those vaccines collected in his bladder beginning in infancy and built the stone over 56 to 58 years.

  • xiv
    Urinating in the Amazon River:

  • xv

    In a tangential but specific warning within the same topic framework, Aajonus identified one parasite he considers genuinely dangerous to humans: a tiny worm-like organism found in the Amazon River that is attracted to the ammonia in urine, travels toward it with extreme speed, and enters the urethra during urination. It has a spine that locks it in place once inside, and it grows substantially after entry. He warned that this parasite can enter the urethra of both men and women while they are actively urinating in the Amazon River, and that this is the only circumstance under which it can enter, because it needs the flow and the ammonia signal to navigate in. He explicitly stated this is the only parasite he has identified as genuinely harmful to the human body.

Recovery Timeline

Recovery Timeline

James's Case, Raw Milk Diet: After weeks of suffering from urethra pain without resolution (even with access to hot baths when possible), James began the raw milk diet with cream and honey. Within 24 hours, all pain subsided. This is presented as a rapid and complete resolution.

Aajonus's Own Post-Surgical Recovery: After the approximately two-hour surgical procedure to laser-disintegrate the bladder stone (the procedure had been expected to take 35-40 minutes but took almost two hours because the core of the stone was solid metal), Aajonus was severely sore upon waking. He had his pain formula ready immediately upon regaining consciousness. After voiding at the hospital, for the first time since infancy he was able to begin urinating within 10 seconds and empty in 15-20 seconds, "like a horse," as he described it. This was a subjectively extraordinary experience of normal urinary function for the first time in his life.

Post-Antibiotic Damage / Laser Bladder Damage: For discomfort caused by laser treatment of the bladder, Aajonus estimated healing time at three to six weeks with appropriate dietary support (custard 2-3 times weekly). For antibiotic-related urinary damage, he recommended the custard formula for 10 weeks, 2-3 times weekly.

General Cleansing / Detoxification Episodes (urge to urinate, bladder-infection-type symptoms): Aajonus frames these as detoxification episodes that the body will work through. He states: "It takes 40 years on a perfect diet to cleanse the body completely." He explicitly states that any part of the body where there had previously been a problem "will cleanse and heal periodically with old symptoms returning." This means that urethral and urinary symptoms may recur periodically throughout the entire span of healing on the Primal Diet, not because the condition is worsening, but because the body is cycling back to cleanse layers it was previously unable to address.

Stone Dissolution Timeline: Aajonus noted that naturally dissolving a stone the size of his would have taken months, too long for his lecture schedule, which was why he chose surgical removal. This implies that for smaller stones, the natural dissolution process through diet and hot baths could extend over many weeks to months, with periodic episodes of pain as fragments pass through the urethra.

Questions Aajonus Answered

Questions Aajonus Answered

  • Q (patient): I have a very strong uncomfortable urge to urinate, even though I had already gone to the bathroom. It feels like it did 20 years ago when I had a bladder infection. I have not had a bladder infection in 20 years. Could this be a result of my D&C procedure? My friend said they might have used iodine to clean out the uterus and now I am detoxifying the iodine. What can I do to relieve this strong uncomfortable urge to urinate? It has been going on now for about 3 hours. Is it a bladder infection or something else?

    Aajonus: It takes 40 years on a perfect diet to cleanse the body completely. Remember that an infection is a cleansing. As I stated in my books, any part of the body where there had been a problem has not been properly cleansed and healed and will cleanse and heal periodically with old symptoms returning. Additional harm to the area may have been caused by iodine used with the D&C. I would suspect that it was because often there is [iodine used in such procedures].

  • (This answer appears in both the Q&A files and the optimized Q&A, in nearly identical language.)

    ---

  • Q (patient): How many days should I take the custard formula for this urinary situation? My urine remains light and clear, but there is a small prickly feeling every time it collects in my bladder, as well as when I relieve myself. Does having E. coli in my urine have anything to do with how it feels? Any recommendations?

    Aajonus: Custard was to help correct damage by antibiotics. I suggest having it 2-3 times weekly for 10 weeks. If the doc lasered your bladder, it will likely cause discomfort until it is completely healed: 3-6 weeks? E. coli in your urine indicates that you consumed antibiotics. Yes, do not ever take antibiotics again.

  • ---

    Q (follow-up from same patient): The E. coli was found in my urine BEFORE I took any antibiotic. I seem to be improving well. Urination is freer and clear. Much less discomfort. I will continue taking the custard formula. Do you think I still have any bacterial infection from that one pill I took? Is it enough to put 3 Tbs of kefir and yogurt in each quart of milk I consume?

  • Aajonus: The E. coli is never a problem anywhere in the body. Probably, the antibiotic has been completely arrested but damage done may take several months to resolve. That is why I suggest that you continue consuming raw custard. Also, you could consume about 2 teaspoons of wet clay (see my book) with a vegetable juice once or twice daily as a supplementary protocol.

    ---

  • Q (patient, after bladder stone removal surgery): I urinate freely and comfortably, I "pee like a racehorse." My last visit is this Thursday. What should I expect? Suppose they don't like what they see in my urine sample. Suppose they ask if I took the antibiotic, do I tell them yes or the truth (only for a day or two)?

    Aajonus: They will probably tell you that your urine is too acidic and builds stones, and that you should eat or drink a lot of fruit. Acknowledge and thank them for any advice that they give. Tell them you took the antibiotics; you do not have to tell them how much.

  • ---

    Q (same patient, follow-up): I got a copy of the surgical report. The stone fragments have a sandpaper effect until washed out. They made the bladder bleed. He found infection saying it is "not quite" what he wanted to see. I was released with a free supply of Cipro. I won't take it. I'm guessing I simply follow your remedies and let the bacteria and nature take its course.

  • Aajonus: Congratulations. Cipro causes HUS (hemolytic-uremic syndrome), that is, dissolving kidney disease. How wonderful of him to want you to damage your kidney to get rid of a detoxification of the damaged tissue in your bladder.

    ---

  • Q (patient experiencing pain in penis before urinating, slow flow, low volume, possibly prostate-related):

    Aajonus: [In these passages, the specific response to the penis pain / prostate question is not fully completed in the excerpted material. The patient was consuming 4 raw eggs per day and experiencing ongoing digestive and urinary symptoms including pain in the penis before urination with slow, low-volume output.]

  • ---

    Aajonus describing his own experience in workshop settings (seminar testimony, not formal Q&A):

  • He described the sequence in multiple workshops: the lifetime of slow urination beginning in infancy; the first acute symptoms in June 2006 (age 59) of shooting, stabbing, needle-sharp pain in the penis and shaft; the blood in urine; the inability to urinate unless lifting the leg like a dog; consulting the urologist who used ultrasound; the finding of the largest bladder stone ever seen; the core being composed of mercury, lead, and heavy metals from childhood vaccines; the surgical decision to laser-disintegrate it rather than try to pass it naturally; the procedure taking nearly two hours instead of the expected 35-40 minutes; the immediate post-surgical sensation of normal urination for the first time in his memory; and the post-surgical pain management using his prepared pain formula and raw milkshake.

    He specifically stated about the surgical decision: "Naturally dissolving a stone that size could take months and my next lecture tour was to begin in 2 weeks." He was practical about the timeline limitation and chose medical intervention while minimizing all chemical interventions within that context.
