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
