Aajonus Is A PhD

[2005]

[Aajonus]

This week, folks, I'm officially a PhD in nutrition.

I got an honorary doctorate through a college in London.

[Kathy]

You didn't have to go to London?

[Aajonus]

No, it was a email and correspondence and they accepted both of my books as my thesis and, dissertation.

But what they did was my grades were low on the English because they have very different ideas about that than me. They said my B's were in English.

[Attendee]

So, what's it gonna do?

[Aajonus]

Well, it just means that I can flaunt my stuff now and can have credentials and go before Congress and stuff like that, and I don't have to have an MD backing me now.

[Attendee]

Can you have PhD your name now?

[Aajonus]

Yes, PhD in nutrition. Most people just put PhD, but I would put PhD nutrition.

[Kathy]

How many years does it take?

[Aajonus]

Uh, well, 40 years.

[Attendees]

*Laughs*

[Aajonus]

Cause they base it on the life experience and then they test you on the normal curriculum that's in there. So, I had to test for every curriculum to make sure that I knew the information. So, it was like having a battery of tests for a year. Well, about nine months, a battery of tests.

normally you go to school and you learn and you take maybe a test a week, test every two weeks. Well, it was six tests a day.

[Attendee]

What was the curriculum that you were tested on?

[Aajonus]

Everything: chemistry, nutrition, food.

[Attendee]

...and they had a really nice article written about Lyme disease and malaria, and it was nice to see that there are other people in the health profession that acknowledge that there are two different philosophies and they actually even said that Western medicine decided to go with the Pasteur philosophies.

[Aajonus]

Cause there are chemicals they can sell.

[Attendee]

Yes, exactly. And they kind of touched on that too. It was nice.
