Educational resource only
The Primal Diet is a reference platform. It organizes the published books, recorded workshops, newsletters, and clinical observations of Aajonus Vonderplanitz (1947 to 2013) into a searchable archive. Everything on this site is provided for educational and informational purposes only.
Not medical advice
Nothing on this site constitutes medical advice, and nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The site documents what Aajonus said and wrote. He was not a licensed physician, and his framework, in particular his views on raw animal foods, infectious disease, detoxification, and cancer, contradicts standard medical guidance in many places.
Do not use this material as a substitute for professional medical care. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before changing your diet, supplementation, or treatment for any condition, and never disregard or delay professional medical advice because of something you read here.
No practitioner relationship
Using this site, including the chat, does not create a doctor-patient, practitioner-client, or any other professional relationship between you and the people who operate this platform. No one involved in this project is providing you individualized health guidance.
Raw foods carry real risk
Raw animal products can carry pathogens. People have become severely ill from raw milk, raw meat, and raw eggs obtained from poor sources or handled badly. Pregnant women, infants, the elderly, and people who are immunocompromised or living with a serious condition face higher risk. The site includes guidance on sourcing and handling, but if you choose to consume any food described here, you do so at your own risk.
The chat is AI, not Aajonus
The widget labelled “Ask Aajonus” speaks in first person but is a large language model generating text from his published writings and transcripts. It can be confidently wrong, hallucinate quotes, or attribute claims to him that he never made. Treat its output as a pointer into the archive, not as a primary source and never as personal advice.
Testimonials are individual accounts
Testimonials and case accounts on this site describe individual experiences as they were reported. They are not evidence that you will get the same result, and they are not claims of typical outcomes.
Third parties are not endorsements
The food-sourcing directory lists farms, co-ops, and vendors compiled from public directories. Listing is not an endorsement, and we do not inspect, certify, or guarantee any vendor or their products. Verify sources yourself. The same applies to any external site we link to.
Assumption of risk and liability
This site is provided as-is, with no warranty of any kind. By using it you accept full responsibility for any decision you make based on its content. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for any loss, damage, or injury arising from use of the information here. The terms of use govern in full.
