Last Tuesday on my weekly drive, I began to feel a little “off”. I had encountered more construction traffic than usual and sucked up the tractor-trailer exhaust all around for 5 miles. When I stopped for gas, I got a whiff of the strong fuel vapors from the pump. I winced and shook my head and tried to turn away from the brain cell killing fumes. Then, I drove through a smoke plume that enveloped the interstate reeking of burning styrofoam. I held my breath for as long as I could and when I came out the other side is when the burning eyes and toxic brain pain began.
We had just gone through a cold spell and now the weather warmed and yet the days were getting shorter and shorter. Holidays were just ahead and thinking about family dynamics can stir up some emotions. Later, that evening, came the inflamed scalp and face, scratchy throat, drop in body temp, and post-nasal drip. I curled up in a heated room with my snot rag and plenty of cream and lemonade knowing that my November 2025 detox was about to begin.
I woke several times in the night with a small volume of burning dark yellow pee. By morning, my runny nose was a full on faucet of transparent fluid. By evening, coughing from the post nasal drip began. 24-hours later I had completely lost my appetite. I had constipation. Chills set in and I just couldn’t get warm no matter how hot I got the room temp or the water. I tripled my intake of electrolytes in the form of Primal lemonade, clabbered milk, and tomatoes. By the 36-hour mark, I had full blown flu – full body aches and pains and fever.
I kept turning up the temperature, ate no solid foods, increased the electrolyte liquids, and rested as much as possible. I reminded myself that even though I felt like shit, in a few days, I will feel better than ever. This hasn’t always been the case. For the first 10-years on the Primal Diet™, recovery after detox was unpredictable. I still felt exhausted and could sleep for hours. But, the last 10-years. I have always felt better and it’s not what my pitiful brain wants to hear right now. Rather, it’s looking for someone or something to put it out of its misery.
At 48-hours, the fever broke. The post nasal drip stopped. As my mucous dried up, my sinuses got stuffy. I recognized these familiar signs as being on the road to recovery. Sure enough, by the next morning the aches and pains were gone, my alertness and energy level had returned, my body odor was horrible. I never have bad body odor except at the end of a detox. I took a shower and my appetite returned. I ate some marinated chicken (my first solid meal in 48-hours) and went to buy some tuna and lobster as my body was craving minerals. Oh, the taste of the fish was so energizing and I savored every bite. With my energy back, I juiced some celery, did all the usual weekly food prep for myself, my family, and the farm animals.
The neighbor brought a freshly shot deer and I accepted the task now of skinning and processing it. A day prior, I would have passed because of my low energy and low appetite. I did all the farm chores and stayed up most of the night with so much energy that I couldn’t sleep. Which was a good thing, because as soon as I returned to the land of the living, Avyanna began her November 2025 detox.
Yay!!! I’m back to better than normal with better vision, mental clarity, and more flexible hips. Yes, now Avyanna is “Mostly Dead.” But, in a few days, she too will be feeling better and have her new November 2025 update uploaded and ready to go as well.
So, what is this November Detox all about?
Of Course, Big Pharm wants us to believe that I gave these evil, dangerous viruses to Avyanna as they leaped off my body to hers causing her to experience symptoms. I spoke with a friend in the Midwest. He had the flu last week and his wife this week. He must have “picked it up” and given it to her, right? Another client’s wife went to visit the grand kids and “brought it back” home.
It’s all over the news headlines every year, “Gonna be a bad flu season, buy our shots.” Billboards, commercials, all the Walmarts, CVSs, Walgreens have the yard-signs out. Everyone’s talking about staying home so they don’t give or get the flu and kill their grandma. The propaganda is clever, deep, and well-funded (even by our tax dollars). And, yet the profit is mind-boggling for these drug companies that can jump in and save us with their pseudo-science experiments. Not only is it a money-maker but it’s a savior-maker as well, as drug companies assume the role of the Messiah taking credit for saving humanity from the depths of microbe hell and threatening us to the fires of hell if we don’t take their holy communion.
Big-Pharma has become God Almighty, CDC are the Pharisees, Fauci is the ex-Pope, doctors are the priests, and hospitals, Walmart, and the drug stores are the churches. The church wants to guilt, shame and blame us for doing “something” wrong bringing the influenza affliction upon ourselves. And, if we just followed the narrative, we will be saved.
The idea of catching a virus is ludicrous.
It’s like saying bears catch hibernation from other bears. Or, snakes catch molting from other snakes, or, leaves catch FOS “Falling Off Syndrome” from other trees. Our bodies are just like all living beings. We are in relationship and at the effect of the natural cycles of the seasons, the changes in temperature, light, humidity, and pressure. Our bodies are in constant flux and change. Cells, like leaves, feathers, and fur are constantly being born and dying. Every 7 days our skin cells die, every 120 days our red blood cells die, every 7 years our liver cells die. When cells die, they leave the body through molting, sweating, bleeding, spitting, urine, vomit, breathing, etc. And, if we have proper nutrition healthy new skins cells, blood cells, and liver cells are reborn.
You may have recognized how women’s menstruation will align when living together. This experiment has been done on a large scale in universities and women’s prison’s. You don’t think these women caught menstrual cramps and bleeding from each other do you?
If you were to look at it truly scientifically, we would see that virus are not alive and thus cannot jump from person to person. Viruses are protein solvents that are always present in our bodies and get activated when the conditions are right to clean us out. Theses solvents that our bodies make are powerful and require a lot of water and resources to dilute them with the toxic dead tissue to excrete from the body. When our snot is clear in color, this is an indication that a virus solvent is at work.
FYI, if our snot is yellow or brown it is bacteria at work cleansing the body.
Bacteria are less toxic than viral solvents, thus the symptoms are more localized versus full-body detoxifications with viruses. And, our bodies employ viruses when the toxic overload it too great for bacteria to handle.
So, people are not getting sick FROM a VIRUS they CAUGHT. Rather viruses emerge within us when the garbage needs to be taken out. These viruses are like the garbage collectors. Imagine what your garage would look like if you refused to take out the garbage each week and bags and bags began to stack up to the ceiling.
Viruses are our cherished helpers. We should appreciate and respect the role these solvents play in keeping us cleaned out and healthy.
This war on viruses is like firing all the garbage collectors across the country and then seeing what happens to the garbage.
What does happen if we don’t take out the garbage?
Those dead cells and toxins continue to collect in our bodies and eventually require even stronger garbage collectors like parasites and even cancer cells to dispose of the toxic waste.
More on the Science
Koch’s postulate has never been successfully fulfilled in a virus experiment. Never has spit from the mouth of a person who has flu symptoms been extracted, the part that allegedly causes the symptoms been centrifuged down and isolated and placed on the body of an asymptomatic person and within any period of time, the same exact flu-like symptoms from person A been exhibited in person B. NEVER. So, there is NO proof at all that I gave my flu to Avyanna or anyone else. It’s all conjecture. There are so many other possibilities that connect these synchronicities.
What about all these other environmental factors that she and I have in common?
We both drove down the same highway. We both live in the same area with the same changes in temp, humidity, pressure, sunlight, etc. We both are exposed to the same emotional and physical stresses. We both ate out at a Sushi restaurant that could have had MSG as an ingredient. The list go on and on about the other things we have in common that are being completely ignored assuming the only possibility that my spit caused her to have symptoms.
Nature is the enemy according to the church of modern science. Drugs are always the salvation.
What if we turn this manipulative, seductive, and contrived model upside down and speak the truth from nature’s wisdom. Then, we would see that disease is an attempt to heal. People aren’t catching a sickness, they ARE already sick. Disease is Detox. Detox is not the enemy. It is our bodies’ wisdom working perfectly well on it’s own and saying “Thank you! Now, leave me alone.”
A lesson from my Ayurvedic teacher is that Spring and Fall are the seasons of detox. He would encourage us to receive Pancha Karma twice a year at these times. Pancha Karma is a 2-week long program in the US and 1-month long detoxification program in India that includes fasting, massage, steam and hot bath therapy, herbs, rest, and meditation. This was all designed to work with the rhythm of nature to support our natural detoxification process.
The American idealized trophy of health is to testify as never experiencing any dis-ease or discomfort. This may have been true 10,000 years ago, pre-agricuture, pre-copper, pre-bronze, pre-tea when the toxins in our environment were less and humans ate more raw animal foods. But now, with the barrage of chemicals like fluoride, chloride, glyphosates, benzene, PBAs, mercury, cadmium, aluminum, processed sugar, salt, drugs, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, vaccines, radiation, EMFs, etc etc, biannual detoxification is just as important as changing the oil in your car every 3000 miles.
True Ayurvedic doctors and other true natural healers like Aajonus recognized that detoxification and disease are the body’s way of working naturally to shed dead and unhealthy cells now with the promise of optimal health returning in the Spring.
While we can appreciate the lens Ayurveda looks through and befriends the change of the seasons and accepts these natural rhythms of life, we do not recommend doing Pancha Karma as a remedy as Ayurveda might.
As usual, we encourage you to respond by doing no harm, which usually includes removing yourself from the toxic exposure, rest, hot baths, and electrolytes in the form of live foods like celery juice, Primal lemonade, tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, truly raw yogurt, and truly raw honey.
We also suggest that the best thing to do come flu season is appreciate the changing colors and temperature and be grateful that our bodies are still healthy enough to detox. Avoid stressful environments and interactions. Appreciate the down time, the time to go inward, the time to shed our skin, loose our leaves and hibernate.
And, as sure as the sun will return, the leaves will return, the chickens feathers will return, dogs hair will return after shedding, the snakes skin will return, and the bears will come out of hibernation, so will our optimal health return. This is our birthright.
Avyanna’s coming back now and we have lot’s of things to do with this new energy. But, before we move on, we would like to know….
How is your Flu Season going?
Take a moment and write down your detox stories. I would even encourage you to start keeping a detox journal to compare to each year, the timing, the temperature, the exposure to chemicals and what action you took or didn’t take and how you felt before and after.
If you would like to hear what Aajonus says on the flu, read page 278 of We Want to Live.
