In Search of the Lost Ark

Lost Ark Crypt

We receive questions from time to time regarding lost Primal Diet™ treasures that might be able to give new healing insights to hungry health seekers.

It’s taken some time to sift through all the layers of dirt and debris, and here’s what we found in the crypt.

Aajonus’ hard drives were given to an individual after Aajonus’ untimely death, with the task of attempting to unlock and gain access to the information they contained.

Jim Ellingson, Aajonus’ business partner, was in the role of making Aajonus’ information available to those interested through PrimalDiet.net. In the years after Aajonus’ death, Jim transcribed and pulled text from many of Aajonus’ original works to publish a few e-books on specific topics like baths and cheese and eggs. Jim was also trickle-fed a few files from the individual who has the hard drives in their possession and used these also to create and publish a few e-books. These files and subsequent e-books are mostly redundant from We Want to Live, The Recipe For Living Without Disease, Q&As, and workshop audios just reorganized in a new way and a few different ways of saying some things. 

As far as unfinished detoxification books and other books that Aajonus promised early on, Aajonus stated in his Q&A from January 27, 2013, a few months before he passed,  “I have 1500 pages in my newsletters. I decided NOT to do any more books. They are expensive to print and put in storage. The publisher is loosing money on my books, so I’m doing newsletters.”  

Aajonus was also clear that focusing on triggering a detox was risky business and he was still experimenting on himself and cautioned others to think twice about doing this as it can be an assault on the body and you might loose a lot of weight too fast which could jeopodize your heath.  He went on to say that it’s best to eat raw food and wait for the body to move into detox on its own naturally when the time is right. 

He wanted us to go to his two books and newsletters for ALL the answers and to get a personal consultation.

People close to Aajonus and former clients believe that much of the information on the hard drives contains mostly clients’ iris pictures. Aajonus’ clients were responsible for recording or documenting their own consultations; he did not keep or create any of these written records. This approach not only safeguarded his clients’ health information but also mitigated his own liability by avoiding the perception of a medical diagnosis. His method involved comparing changes in iris pictures and dictating to people what he saw.

Our goal is to honor, preserve, and promote the archived educational materials of Aajonus. 

We appreciate all of the support and interest over this past year as we move into a new frontier for the Primal Diet™. Bringing people together in a meaningful way to encourage and learn from each other is something that has been sorely missing since Aajonus’ passing. Real connections and relationships, along with the presence of many individuals who have been on the diet for 20 years or more, provide evidence that raw foods can lead to optimal health.

We are committed to his vision, in Aajonus’ words:

“Working to heal people to further world peace. Since all animals, including humans are subjected to their bodies’ conditions, lack of being and feeling safe and happy results from ill health. This central foundational insecurity that results from poor health has grave repercussions. It creates a large percentage of the fear and frustration stimulating irritability, greed, hostility, and inharmonious decisions. We pursue our lofty goal by making information available about the ways and means to reverse disease, rejuvenate health, and prevent disease through diet. Ongoing plans to facilitate the goal include continuing research and experimentation with food as it affects health and publishing this pertinent information. Because food quality depends upon the health of soil and bodies in which food grows, agricultural experimentation is part of our itinerary. We will publish, acquire land, and create clinical spas that further develop health-promoting knowledge. We will solicit donations and engage in ecologically safe enterprise to fund its needs and goals.”

We are committed to promoting optimal health through a diet of raw animal meats, fats, and dairy aligning with the wisdom of Nature, following the life’s work of Aajonus Vonderplanitz.
