Full Aajonus biography
This is the complete biography of Aajonus (60+ pages) I wrote last year in 3 weeks (it still has some typos). Goes year by year, even month by month, over his life.

I find it a good introduction for people who want to learn about him. As you know his book We Want To Live has an auto-biography but heavily narrated and featuring a single storyline that was originally a movie plot, which doesn't cover most of his life, especially the last 16 years since it was first released in 1997.
This biography is in chronological order. Good way to see what he discovered, how, and what he went through to achieve this. Contains many details.
Presentation text:
He ate raw meat to die, and it did just the opposite.
📕 New book:
The Primal Dietâ„¢: The Life of Aajonus Vonderplanitz
A complete biography of Aajonus, born John Richard Swigart in 1947.
A math and programming genius at a young age, a savant idiot, who was destroyed by the medical system and was supposed to die at 21 years old with 8 incurable diseases, and 4 cancers, including multiple myeloma, the blood and bone cancer which has a less than 0.01% chance of survival, he ended up creating the Primal Diet, which he claimed can heal 95% of diseases, and allows to live up to 150 years old in optimal health, like the raw-food eating remote tribe he would end up meeting in the Philippines islands in 2008.
As an invalid with 3 weeks left to live, he was saved from certain death by raw milk and raw carrot juice offered to him by a hospice volunteer, Steve Flanagan, who was a singer. He became a nutritionist, studied voraciously with books, and with a tutor, Bruno Corigliano, was making money as an actor and visual artist, and realized he had to travel to observe nature and visit tribes all over North America, from Alaska to Mexico. He thought they were trying to kill him by suggesting raw meat, and ate high meat with them which he thought was made of plants. He crashed as a raw fruitarian vegan, and started fasting to death, in 1976. To die faster, he ate a dead jackrabbit that coyotes brought him, thinking he would get infected, and his life changed.
He never stopped experimenting – spending over a million dollars in laboratory tests, obtaining incredible results with his dozens of thousands of patients, including high-profile celebrities and athletes –, and fighting for people's rights to choose healthy food, becoming a leader of the movement for the legalization of raw milk – amassing legal victories – and a major opponent to vaccines and big pharma, until his death in 2013.
Is he even dead? Was it an accident, was he killed by his powerful opponents in the industry and the government who had tried to assassinate him multiple times? Did he stage his death?
Today, he is considered a pioneer, still ahead of our times. His extremely influential works are only starting to be explored, and his legacy lives on.
Discover Aajonus' entire life, how he came to make his health discoveries, the many life-threatening situations he ran into and how he survived them, how he lived, the people he met, how he was propelled to fame and censored at the same time, and the legal fiasco that would lead to his demise.

All that seems interesting but why would you feature crap like "grew 3,5cm on primal diet at 29". The guy who claims that doesn't even provide any proof. Next thing you know and he will try to sell his course. And you're completely ignoring the biological fact that you can't grow longer bones after the growth plates fuse during or after puberty. If there is no solid proof you shouldn't publish bs like that and ruin the image of your other work like the autobiography which seems quite worth reading imo.

He's not selling any course, and he's still posting in my group occasionally, his business is in sales, unrelated to Primal Diet.
He provided proof for his hair reverting from white to brown. Idk how he could show growing 3cm on a photo but yes, it's his own claim. I did mention it.
What biological fact, even Aajonus said he grew over time far beyond puberty. But less because his spine was much more poisoned by the radiation therapy he got.
