To assist, you put on the extra 10, 15 pounds. Then when you are detoxing, whether it's with the cilantro juices or whatever formulas you give, you're supposed to in that day, eat the butter, the cheese, the cream, the coconut cream.
So, the question is when you are trying to get rid of your toxicity, you've got the extra 10, 15 pounds and you are also eating in the day the extra fats to bind with the toxins-
[Aajonus]
Daily.
[Attendee]
Is that the formula?
[Aajonus]
15 pounds I would say is minimum. I like people to go 20, 25 pounds. If they're over 5' 4", they should be going 20 pounds overweight.
My bottom is about 163 lbs now, but I'll go all the way up to 192.
So, I go 30 pounds.

What's your height?
[Aajonus]
5' 7" 3/4." I've been 5' 7" 3/4" since I was 16.5 years old. All my family is shrunken and shrunken and shrunken, I've stayed.
The last time I did it I was actually 1/16th of an inch taller. So, I'm just slightly above the 5' 7" 3/4".
[Attendee]
How did you get the extra height?
[Aajonus]
I think that I just started growing.
[Attendee]
Okay. So the thing is, if you do put on the extra 15, 20 pounds or not, if you don't put that on, but you're eating the fats during the day, what happens that if you do detox, you don't have that-
[Aajonus]
If you don't have a reserve, you're gonna have a lot more symptoms, you're gonna suffer more and you're not gonna get very well.
You're not gonna detoxify properly and you're gonna damage tissue in your body.
[Attendee]
So, that extra cushion of fat absorbs the toxicity?
[Aajonus]
Correct.
[Attendee]
Okay. So, is that why back then when I was detoxing and I didn't have the extra fat on, that it went into the bone marrow?
[Aajonus]
Yeah, but it probably went into other cells, not just the bone marrow.
[Attendee]
What other cells?
[Aajonus]
Any cells in your body where the poison went.
[Attendee]
The toxicity went in the cells, like you talking about like the liver maybe.
[Aajonus]
Depends on where it was coming out and what was the local site. If it came out of the liver, it may go right back into the liver. Other cells that had fat, but it would be looking for the fat inside the cell, so it would go into the cell and destroy the fat inside the cell, so then the cell is weaker or even dies, or is maimed in some way.
So, that cell won't function anymore.
That's why it's very important to have excess fat.
[Attendee]
So, in the bone marrow of the body, that's where the red white blood cells are made and get their energy?
[Aajonus]
They divide in the bone marrow, they mature in the bone marrow, and then once they mature they enter the bloodstream.
[Attendee]
So, if they enter the bloodstream, immature, not with enough oxygen, then you're going-
[Aajonus]
You're red blood cells take oxygen from the lungs and take them to the cells, but when a cell is bred in a toxic bone marrow, it's going to be affected. It's not going to be as strong, let's say that it's a red blood cell, it won't be able to carry as much to oxygen, it'll have a lot more toxic byproducts that it excretes.
Then the white blood cells are supposed to eat all of that. If they're toxic, they're gonna get nauseous and they can't eat as much, so they won't be able to keep the blood as clean.
[Attendee #2]
After the down diet, does your body hurt from toxicity?
[Aajonus]
Depends on how far down you go. I've seen people go beyond where they're supposed to go.
Let's say they've been 15 pounds overweight and they go below the 15 pounds, they're gonna have some problems.
[Attendee #2]
Now, when you say overweight, like you said 5' 4", is that according to the primal diet weight?
[Aajonus]
It would be what the typical chart would say. Typically someone who is 5' 4" the average weight would be 123 lbs.
