I'm not sure how useful this forum is, I suspect there may be a lot of conspiracy theory nonsense here, but can anyone enlighten me about why a number of vocal HIV AIDS skeptics who stopped treatment for HIV or refused to be treated for HIV, later died as predicted?

The facts appear to show that there is no evidence - or at least no good evidence - of a link between HIV and AIDS, but someone needs to explain fully and clearly how and why a number of people who were told they were HIV+ and needed to take medication to stay alive, but refused conventional treatment, later died as the doctors predicted. They felt healthy for a while - sometimes for years - and then suddenly became sick and died.

This page over on "Rethinking AIDS" may explain three cases, but the front-page of that website looks garish and amateurish - never a good sign. The explanations given do sound plausible, but these are not the only cases. I am particularly interested to find out what happened to James Scutero; you can hear him speaking in this 1994 TV special "The Great AIDS debate" (poor quality video, but audio is okay):

James Scutero was never on ARV's, and clearly he was well informed, but 4 years after appearing in this debate, he would be dead. He died on June 14 or 15th 1998. I can find no details of what happened, but according to one or two scrap of information on "Questioning AIDS" he committed suicide; another scrap of information claims that he had become sick and was suffering from Kaposi Sarcoma - common in cases of AIDS in gay men.


I think it is of paramount importance that we have explanations for the deaths of individuals who were diagnosed HIV+ and refused conventional treatment. I was hoping to find comment from Prof. Peter Duesberg on these cases, but he doesn't seem to have commented on any.
