butter

And I'll take at most a half a pound per day that I'm going. So, if I'm going for 30 days, I'd take 15 pounds of butter with me.
I keep it in a cooler and I always get a room with a refrigerator and I take out all the soda pops and beers and alcohol and put my butter and cheese in there.
[Attendee]
But you have every temperature-
[Aajonus]
Sometimes. Oh yeah, definitely. The butter I'm eating is room temperature, always.

You have to have to go through the scanner though?
[Aajonus]
I don't have a problem in Asia.
[Kathy]
But if you're going from LA?
[Aajonus]
I'm able to get through again.

The trick that I've learned Kathy is if you ship it to yourself, because I've done it three or four times, I actually ship it to myself. I send it through FedEx, UPS, DHL, and it's there before I get there.
[Kathy]
Wherever hotel you go to, they hold it for you?
[Attendee #2]
When I went to Hawaii, it was sitting on my front doorstep at my house that I had rented in a cooler. I shipped it to myself in a cooler, it was cold when I arrived.

But the only thing you don't take any food you on the plane?
[Aajonus]
No, I do because I'm getting them to hand check it again.
For a 6-month period they were jerks, but most of the places I went, my patients always had food for me. I'd always have something on the plane. If I'm going to Fort Lauderdale, West Palm beach or I'm going New York city, and it was a four and a half, five-hour flight. I want something on the plane. So, if they wouldn't hand check it without scanning it. I'd stand there, eat a half a dozen raw eggs in front of them and the raw meat.

And they threatened to have me arrested because I was gonna cause harm and damage, give them same kind of disease. They called the police and the police come, I'd say, "You ticket and arrest me for this. How's this going to look in court? I'm just eating food. You are going to arrest me for eating food." And this is a public place. So, they back off, so I just stand there and eat it front of them. Just change their minds a little bit.

It won't go through radiation?
[Aajonus]
It does, but because I have a radiation therapy, it causes more of a reaction for me. If most people just put it through the hand scanner, you walk through the carry on. It's not gonna be that bad if it only goes through one time. But we can't do which pardon?
You have to put your bags on this one little scanner, that's low-level radiation.
[Attendee #2]
Bags, keys, wallet. They make you take everything, surprised they don't strip clean, you know?
[Aajonus]
Well, the last time I didn't know when I was gonna get in San Francisco. So, I had meat in plastic in my pocket, they hand checked it for me.
So, I just had that stuff in my pocket.
