Aajonus's Life Mission

“To help reverse disease and facilitate healthier lives and a more peaceful world for those interested.”

When I approached Aajonus in 2004 with my plan for me to set up the WeWant2Live.com site, I asked him his Mission.  He gave me the one sentence you see above.

Now in 2013 I look at that one sentence statement.  He DID live by this statement.  He also gave anyone who is not interested the immediate right to exit from the page or discussion, with no blame or shame.
On these pages I will occasionally put up some feedback from “those interested”.  If someone not interested comes along, they are invited to exit from this page right away.

There is no harm and no controversy in this statement as far as I can see and as far as any of the thousands of people whose lives he did improve.    Read on if you like, at http://www.wewant2live.com/

Also, see the tribute from one person who is now of great service to the raw foods community, having been resurrected from serious 'incurable' diseases which kept her bed-ridden much of the time:

Aajonus was a nutritionist who developed the Primal Diet, the very diet which saved Renée Ainlay's life (founder of Original Living Coconut) You can read Renee's journey here: http://www.originallivingcoconut.com/ReneesStory.aspx  Aajonus was also an activist for the non-profit organization, Right to Choose Healthy Food. He was the author of two books: We Want to Live & The Recipe for Living Without Disease. Aajonus traveled around the world, sharing his wealth of knowledge, helping people find vibrant health & come out of the grips of disease. Tragically, Aajonus fell from his second story balcony at his home in Thailand when it gave way. He suffered a broken spine & internal bleeding. He was taken to the hospital where he passed.

 

A Word From Renée, Founder of OLC

I am writing this with a very heavy heart. My dear friend and teacher Aajonus Vonderplanitz just recently passed away. He was on his 2nd floor balcony at his home in Thiland when it gave way. He suffered a broken back and internal bleeding and passed at the hospital. 

As many of you know my story, I have been following Aajonus's Primal Diet for 7 1/2 years. Not only have I regained my health, but Aajonus has inspired me and changed the direction of my life. I will forever be indebted to him and I am truly blessed to have known him. Not only has he helped me but he has helped others in my family (my husband, my kids & their families & my brothers). 

A pioneer of the raw food movement, Aajonus has paved the way for many. He first introduced the Primal Diet through his books, We Want to Live and A Recipe for Living Without Disease. His teachings didn't stop there, he made DVDs and wrote newsletters, gave lectures, appeared on TV talk shows, radio shows etc. He has accompished so much I cant even begin to name them all.  He was an activist for the raw milk movement. He spearheaded the abolition of California's ban of raw milk sales in stores. He gave countless hours of his time to help defend farmers against raw milk lawsuits. He has helped thousands of people regain their health over the many years. 

...

I will miss you my dear friend and teacher. I will miss talking to you and miss your heart hugs. You were a very special treasure to many. Along with everyone else I will do my best to carry on and share what I have learned on my jorney for health. Rest in peace my friend. I pray blessings, peace and comfort for your family and friends. -Reneè, Founder of Original Living Coconut

The Raw Primal Diet is Not the Paleo Diet...

Thanks again to Aajonus for wise, health-promoting insights! I owe him full recovery from lifelong eczema.

Best,

Bonny S.

http://www.onwingsofcare.org/

[The following message is from Bonny regarding a video'd interview TEDxOU called Debunking the paleo diet, in which Christina Warinner is interviewed]

Her premises do not coincide with those of Aajonus who advocates a raw Primal Diet (R) -- but it may describe the diets she is refuting, I don't know for I don't know about those diets.

The [raw Primal Diet of Aajonus Vonderplanitz] certainly does not eschew green vegetables or fruits; in fact, it considers them vital,and advocates juicing of vegetables, as their mineral and other content is sooo good for us.

She [Ms. Warinner] also misses the very very important point that it is RAW protein that is advocated, the raw feature is critical. (Again, I refer to Aajonus's raw Primal Diet, not to these diets that she is refuting.)  This applies to both meat and dairy/eggs.  

The raw Primal Diet also emphasizes all kinds of meats and all organs, not just beef muscle (which she calls the "meat myth.)

Teeth are part of the argument. Stomach acid and intestine length is also important.

I'll listen to this when I can hear the whole thing, but I caught these features in the first few minutes.

There is no question in my mind, looking at this speaker, that she eats much cooked food, including grains.

Thanks for sharing this!

Staying Young with the Primal Diet of Aajonus Vonderplanitz

 Does the Primal Diet of Aajonus Vonderplanitz enable you to live a longer and more satisfying life, in good health?

Tune in to the National Geographic TV channel on Monday Aprill 22, 2013 at 10 PM EST to see an interview of someone who has been on the Primal Diet for about 15 years.

You can see the photo of the person being interviewed at http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/

channel/the-numbers-game/episodes/when-will-you-die/ - with raw milk, steak and chicken or fish on the table.   The subject is "how long will you live?".

Just for fun, guess his age and put that in the comment  box below.  I would be interested in what you have to say.

  

Good Health - your highest priority

The good health of yourself and family should properly be your highest priority. Family health has never been under greater assault than today.

When maintenance of optimal health is at stake, TRUTH is FAR stranger than fiction. Sadly, for the naive masses of uninformed *SAD fans and 'pill-poppers', following so-called 'conventional wisdom' translates stealthily, almost imperceptibly, to slow suicide.

In the near term, without a massive and determined voter action, FARMageddon, with its inevitable flood of GMO FRANKENFOOD, will quickly become a grim reality. In my opinion, sickness, not health, will then become the NORM. No surprise then, that Big Pharma will be one of the chief beneficiaries of the resulting windfall of 'allopathic' disease remediation. Being very much aware of the evils of GMO crops and cloned animal foods, wary Californians are set to vote on a proposition that would mandate the labeling of ALL GMO foods and ALL products containing GMO ingredients. Lets hope that Californians win this decisive, MEGA-bankrolled battle. Europeans have banned ALL GMO foods as well as GMO seeds! Californians don't want them, either. Experience has shown that "As California goes, so goes the nation."

The knowledge contained in the PRIMAL DIET NEWSLETTER is much more than health insurance. It addresses fairly and FEARLESSLY the vitally-important, often shocking, health concerns NOW, when you need them MOST. More importantly, PDN deals with hidden, ignored, below-the-radar issues HEAD-ON (and more importantly, what you can do about them). PDN most often exposes the guilty offender(s) like "a deer in the headlights". This important and timely advantage allows YOU to make vital midpoint corrections to your menu and lifestyle, incorporating crucial life-saving information IMMEDIATELY. When you read PDN, the hard research has already been done for you by an adept, highly-motivated research biochemist (having HIMSELF narrowly escaped FIRST-HAND the terrifying experience of an orthodox medical **DEATH SENTENCE).

Sad to say, due to myriad conflicts of interest(s) permeating the upper level staff offices of the popular news media outlets, factual information relating to crucial health issues is highly unlikely to ever "see the light of day". Heads would roll.

If all else fails, please remember the drill: Investigate, Educate and Circumnavigate, NOT Medicate.

A word to the wise is ALWAYS sufficient.

* Standard American Diet

** Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz, PhD, with Spartan stoicism, fought through years of abject despair, excruciating pain and frustration, at one point actually giving up and resolving to die by self-imposed starvation. Finally, with input gleaned from countless lectures, articles, books, experiments, personal experiences and a pivotal, life-changing stay among a tribe of friendly Arctic Inuits, Dr. Vonderplanitz formulated and further developed the radical protocol that he used to defeat his orthodox medically-imposed death sentence to save his own life. The core of this back-to-the-future protocol primarily consists of a hard-won collection of FACTS, PHILOSOPHY, PROPER FOOD and LIFESTYLE. The specifics have been duly outlined in two radical paradigm-changing books, "We Want To Live", "The Recipe For Living Without Disease" and a DVD, "Fast, Nutritious and Delicious Raw Food Recipes". These volumes comprise your best and most expedient route to OPTIMAL HEALTH.

"As the Radiation Fallout Continues to Rain on the World..."

A message from Aajonus Vonderplanitz:

"Hi, mutual natural health-lovers,

As the radiation fallout continues to rain on the world, governments hide the truth about the severity of radiation-poisons and the nuclear energy industry continues to rule governments, and so we must all do the best we can to care for ourselves..."

Medical trickery...

I am a survivor from advanced spinal cancer, for which I have had some major help from Aajonus Vonderplanitz and his Primal Diet! When I was first diagnosed, Aajonus sent me to the BioMedical Center in Tijuana to get their herbal formula to help me, in addition to the PD, since spinal cancer is considered generally to be fatal. I am very glad I took his advice.

When I went there a few weeks ago, their medical doctor pointed out something VERY interesting about the blood test readings: the medical community has established lower norms on some key parts of blood tests in order to get more customers for themselves. Case in point: Blood Glucose used to be 70-110 mg/dL as normal. That was a year and a half ago. Now the normal is 65 -100 mg/dL. That means that more people will have a higher than the normal blood glucose. That means more people will purchase diabetes medicines, and doctors will add more patients to their rosters, and the medical community (to say nothing of the pharmaceutical industry) will make lots more money! Medical trickery?

The same medical doctor also said that there was a similar lowering of norms for blood cholesterol readings. That means more patients on cholesterol and heart medication = more money for the medical and pharmaceutical industries! And who wins at that one? Is it the patients???

New Year Option for Health

Here is wisdom of the ancients and some research, forwarded to you by Mark R., who is doing well on the Primal Diet:

"Man does not die, he kills himself." :Seneca.

"Let your medicine be your food and your food be your medicine." Hippocrates, father of modern medicine.

"I firmly believe that if the whole materia medica [pharmacopoeia] could be sunk to the bottom of the sea, it would be all the better for mankind and all the worse for the fishes." Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809 - 1894) Lecture, Harvard Medical School.

Why not resolve now to radically improve your health in 2011 by investing in a quality vegetable juice extractor? LIVE fruit and vegetable juices preserve and protect LIVING CELLS. Make your juice extractor your liquid food source AND your pharmacy.

PLEASE. Don't put it off. Many vendors are having pre-inventory clearance sales as you read this. I've already done the research for you and found the best juice extractors (those scoring the highest consumer ratings) as follows:

GOOD: Least expensive. Heavy duty. Highest RPM motor of the group (producing heat and foam with moderately high enzyme loss), built like a tank, BUT many plastic parts are in contact with the juice (phthalate and bisphenol A can leach from plastic parts). Relatively dry pulp. www.championjuicer.com

*BETTER (has twin counter-rotating magnetic gears spinning at a very low 110 RPM): www.2-life.com/site/greenstar_elite_juicer.html


**BEST (Latest, most efficient and improved model, all stainless steel construction. Its twin counter-rotating gears spin at an ultra-low 86 RPM, preserving more than 85 percent of the original nutrients, producing little or NO OXIDIZING FOAM, the coolest juice, highest enzyme content, greatest VOLUME of juice, and the DRIEST pulp. www.angeliajuicer.com/detail.htm?ProductID=Angelia_8500_110V

Mark

* Mid-priced. Personal choice of, and recommended by world famous author, lecturer, researcher and nutritionist, Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz, PhD.

** Heirloom quality, powerful, as well as the most expensive. If well cared for, however, the Angelia 8500 may possibly be the only juice extractor that you will ever need.

healing on all levels eating raw

"I so hope some day soon all doctors, nurses, physiotherapists etc lose their fear and practice [eating] raw and recommend raw omnivorism, and everyone heals on all levels. I guess the world would be boring then, but I would really appreciate it."
Roslyn S.

P.S. "If you don't know where you are going, when you get there you will be lost." Yogi Berra said that . He was a great American baseball player and down-to-earth philosopher. I quote Yogi as a way to thank Roslyn for a great statement of where we are going.

Clean Hobby Farm Being Offered

John D.G. who is on the Primal Diet wanted you to know of a really pristine 'hobby farm' that is for sale, in the upper region of British Columbia, Canada. He felt this would be perfect for a young couple. Here is what he says:
"This sale is great news for anyone recovering from a health crisis who wants to go the AJ [Aajonus Vonderplanitz] way, really clean themselves up, and live in some awesome country. I am going to pull out and go to a deeper bush location, away from neighbours, where there is also clean water. These two sites are the only really clean water sites still in B.C.
For Sale: Super clean, 5 acre, pure spring water hobby farm 10 minutes outside Smithers BC Canada. New, unfinished, 2500 ft square in buildings, super clean and organic. Beautiful view and mountain side location, adjacent community forest, walking and cross country ski trails. Cul de sac.
"Excellent for young family. Unmatched anywhere for healthy air, soil, water, building materials. Must sell. 350,000 or best offer (already below mortgage price wtbowyer@yahoo.ca or 802 522-7893 or 250 892-0014."

"The Primal Diet is Health-giving"...

I’ve been on The Primal Diet for almost four years and have found it
very health-giving. No more achy back pain, gum disease, fibroids,
hormonal imbalances and other ailments I have already forgotten I had.
Using food as my medication is so freeing. Right now I am treating my
symptoms (and diagnosis by a rheumatologist) of rheumatoid arthritis
with diet, occupational therapy exercises, and meeting my emotional
needs head-on, not by taking steroids. After ten months on this
regimen, I feel that I am about 90% healed. I highly recommend taking
the time to explore what Aajonus Vonderplanitz and The Primal Diet can
offer for your improved and lasting health. My goal is not necessarily
to live longer, but to feel well every day, which is how I feel.

"Raw Meat Made Me Feel Phenomenal!"

I was half way through the book “We Want to Live” by Aajonus Vonderplanitz and by Christmas day I decided to eat in the raw. I had to try it. All I had was some organic lamb meat from New Zealand. I put raw organic unheated honey on it with some organic dried basil... I had my organic raw milk from Organic Pastures and made raw egg smoothies with it. I was already making the transition to raw foods by the time I got the book; I just had not implemented eating raw meat. I had been consuming raw milk for three years.
The way eating raw meat made me feel was phenomenal! Just after three days my body order went away, my hair was nice and soft, the oil in my hair was not making me feel dirty like I have to shampoo everyday. My skin felt softer, my teeth felt stronger, as my body did and my legs. My toothache went away! I thought I would have to have another root canal. But, wow I can’t believe it, raw meat is a natural painkiller! I was waking up fully in my body and not groggy. However I was a little giddy and I loved myself more. If this is the only side effect than wow, give me raw meat every day! Plus, eating raw meat seems to have helped me to regulate my hormones. I really like not being over emotional and needy. I just feel fantastic! How wonderful is that? Life is so wonderful! I love life even more.

Your Health Will Shoot Straight Up...

"Like sparkling cider or vintage Chateauneuf de Rothschild Champagne, older can be BETTER, but ONLY when and IF you know HOW. Save your joints AND your health by becoming an (informed) Primal Dieter as verified and defined by the world's most advanced nutritionist, Aajonus Vonderplanitz, PhD.

Our medical system is now broken and is not likely to be fixed in our lifetime. Hospitals are overflowing with MILLIONS of Madison Avenue-produced SAD [Standard American Diet] eaters and pill-poppers. Alternatively, nothing makes more sense nor is more in keeping with natural laws than the Primal Diet, i.e. EVERY cell in your body is replaced every seven (7) years. That gives you a fair chance to have an entirely new, more youthful and vitally healthy body seven years from today. The instincts of our ancestral 'Cave Men' were verifiable and correct. Today, enlightened Primal Diet adherents everywhere know that the final word in dietary science has now become the hue and cry of 'Back To The Future.' Why not start building your ALL-NEW 'cave man' body today.

Open a bold, all-new chapter in your life. Go to: www.wewant2live.com, go to the http://www.wewant2live.blogspot.com, check out the hundreds of enthusiastic PD user's personal testaments, then just as if you've had an epiphany, buy both of Dr. Vonderplanitz' books and become a PD Newsletter subscriber. Armed with the most accurate, advanced and fact-based dietary truth available anywhere, your health will then from that day forward begin to shoot straight up." Contributed by Mark Ray of Alabama

Person saved by the Primal Diet says so...

in response to Aajonus' recent UK radio interview. The following was posted to the www.talksport.com site by a listener who lives in South America:
" Aajonus Vonderplanitz unequivocally pointed me toward the means of saving my own life; not to mention restoring my quality of life to that of half this age. In my humble opinion, anyone who would thwart this man or disparage what he has to say becomes an accomplice to cruelty and negligent homicide.

"Modern Medicos" operating with a lopsided "education," written and funded by the drug-pushing big-pharma syndicate, are ill-equipped to honor an oath to do no harm.

The only harm resulting from the diet recommendations of Aajonus Vonderplanitz is to the reputation of doctors whose medical patients refuse to succumb decades beyond being given a few weeks or months to live."

What is the priority of weight loss vs health?

The Raw Food Diet is inching towards the mainstream as evidenced by AARP and 'Medical News Today' even spelling out some of the benefits and the four broad branches of raw foodism (raw vegetarian/vegan/omnivore/carnivore). The 'raw carnivore' category purportedly eats other foods cooked but all meat is eaten raw. Living in southern California, I have met many raw vegetarians, raw vegans and raw omnivores (such as people on the Primal Diet of Aajonus Vonderplanitz, viewable at www.WeWant2Live.com) but I have never met someone who eats only meat raw and all other foods cooked. I think that category itself is slightly 'cooked' and is theoretical rather than real. I am willing to be enlightened if someone wishes to give me more info at theinterviewguy@gmail.com.
The aspect of the Raw Food Diet that I am addressing today is what priority does one give to having a svelte appearance but health problems vs building health by eliminating bad and dangerous fat while replacing it with health-giving raw fat. As 'weight loss' seems to be THE priority in magazines and tabloids, in top selling books and programs, one would think this question has been answered in favor of looking thin. Vegetarian and vegan raw dieters tend to be thin but not muscular - with exceptions of course. I have interviewed a 20 year raw vegetarian who became a raw omnivore then, while keeping his exact same clothing size, put on a lot of muscular weight. He is now turning 63 years old and is vigorous and looks great. He demonstrates that weight gain is not always a problem nor does one's size necessarily increase along with increased (balanced*) consumption of healthy raw fat on an omnivore type of raw diet.
One case is cited by Aajonus (copied here from the www.WeWant2Live.com site where it appears with the author's permission): "...one thirty-something patient was 280 lbs. and was addicted to ice cream. I trusted her instincts, that she needed the cream. I gave her recipes to make raw ice cream ... Within 5 months she had lost 140 lbs. and the craving for ice cream. After only 4 years on my Primal Diet...she maintained her weight at 125 lbs., without having to think about her weight to this day..." from an interview by Dr. Rae Bradbury. The full article can be found here .
As always, each individual needs to determine his/her own dietary path after sifting through the available information.
*See The Recipe for Living Without Disease, the section on recommendations, to see what a balanced raw omnivore diet is.
