Yes, Aajonus Vonderplanitz is his real name, because he legally changed it to that.  I do know what he was named at birth although I think I should get his OK before posting it.  Someone may wish to malign him although I don't see what is wrong with having an ordinary name or an extraordinary one for that matter.  You are right about the Richard.  His family name is an ordinary one also. 
His Ph.D. is in nutrition. 

You have a good way of expressing yourself and your plight.  Each of the points you mention - being awake when you are awake and asleep when you are asleep, working out, enjoying life... and so on... has a specific way of being addressed.  It starts though with a good general balance of what you are eating - a daily plan - such as Aajonus describes in the section called Recommendations in The Recipe for Living Without Disease.  It is only a few pages but it has done wonders for me personally for a decade and will continue to do so.

I had 'Paleo junk food' to beat them all in late summer of 2010 when we had a Primal Diet potluck.
A relatively new but very resourceful Primal Dieter brought two large livers of home grown pet goats that had been nurtured from birth.  This liver did not taste like what I always thought liver would taste like.  It came very close to chocolate in its melt-in-the-mouth consistency.  People raved and circled the table until this was quickly consumed.  One person even called the next day to see if we had any 'extra' which we gave him. 

Personally I find high meat very effective in two ways.  First I feel good after eating it and am enthusiastic about the day I am living.  The more subtle benefit is restoring my regularity.  I have been constipated most of my life and didn't know any different until I ran across high meat. 
I don't mention this much unless asked because people who want to find something wrong with the Primal Diet use this 'shocking factor' of high meat as a way to discredit the whole diet. 

I just asked Aajonus whether the interview with Kevin Gianni that was scheduled for Dec. 15th actually took place.  He said yes it did, as scheduled.  Kevin wanted to do the interview in private first then supposedly edit it after which he would make it available to me.  I will check on this and let you know or post it on the http://www.wewant2live.com/site/811618/page/937343 page for a week or so.

I bring milk with me when it is feasible.
Also, I line up sources in the area of where I will be, using http://www.wewant2live.com/site/811618/page/2729837 Aajonus' list of producers and distributors.
We also prefer to travel by train when feasible because you can bring a lot of food with you and not get hassled or examined by x-ray.

Hello!  Really Raw Honey is on Aajonus' list of producers and distributors as a honey that he has checked out and is really raw.  There is lots of misrepresentation (call it lying?) by honey manufacturers.  Aajonus' whole list is available at http://www.wewant2live.com/site/811618/product/RPD-01
At the Hollywood (California) farmer's market, you can go to the Honey Pacifica display and ask for "Aajonus Grade" and they will give you really raw excellent honey.  We get a half gallon at a time. 
I don't know where you live, but Aajonus' list covers a lot of resources in the USA that will ship.

My take on raw honey is that it really varies from one person to another and from one time to another.  For nearly a year we went through 1/2 gallon in a month approximately - for 2 of us.  This is what the local honey producers call "Aajonus grade"  honey - completely unheated, not smoked etc. 
For the last 4 months or so, my wife has greatly diminished the amount of raw honey she uses in smoothies and milkshakes.  Her circumstance is that she is recovering from advanced spinal cancer by natural means using the Primal Diet books with some special emphasis such as making her own raw cottage cheese then having that with raw unheated flax oil (following the lead of Johanna Budwig, for those of you who have read up on cancer literature) and a small amount of kiwi fruit or organic pineapple or organic berries.  She seems more calm with less raw honey.  My observation from this is simply that if you pay attention to what your body is telling you, you can guide yourself within the guidelines of the Primal Diet. 
Aajonus does clarify in his recipe book the vast difference between cooked honey - to be avoided - and raw honey.
Note: she also increased the size of her meat meals which could be contributing to the calmness.

I have found high raw meat to do exactly what Aajonus says it will in his We Want To Live book.  I was constipated almost all of my life before that.  That is where I get my probiotics.  We spoke with a probiotic supplement maker in Florida (Winston K...) who says he recommends Aajonus' approach first and his supplements for those who would prefer a supplement instead of the Primal Diet.  He may have been schmoozing me a bit but I believed him at the time.
