The Primal Diet by Aajonus Vonderplanitz
The Primal Diet was created by nutritionist Aajonus Vonderplanitz. His is a fascinating story of health & healing.
After his demise, Aajonus chose Jim Ellingson to carry on his work & archives. The best way to begin this journey is to read his two books. Aajonus stated that cancer brought him to the verge of death when he was 20. He also struggled with juvenile diabetes and angina pectoris when he was a teenager and says he had 300 heart attacks by the time he was 22. His cancer resurfaced 10 years later and Aajonus says he felt fighting it again would be difficult. He was told that eating any uncooked food would kill him, so he began doing just that. “I ate the raw meat to kill myself,” he says. “And it did just the opposite. It invigorated me for the first time in my life. I didn’t have to worry about my obsession with eating.”

15 Years ago, Teresa Ann Foxworthy created this page to honor Aajonus Vonderplanitz due to his help with her recovering from wretched antibiotics that decimated her immune system. She met with him & his groups multiple times.
The menu plan was pretty simple. Excluding foods was most challenging. Raw Vegan diet has help her regain about 80% of her immune system, but it wasn't until she began Aajonus' regime that she regained her full vitality & immune resistance.
Aajonus chose Jim Ellingson as his successor, who in turn chose the next to carry on Aajonus' work & archives. Phoenix has created in-depth websites with pages for books & coaching training. Please explore & find out where the original Primal Diet community is now.
