Stephen Byrnes did not "drop dead" of a stroke. He was very ill for quite some time with HIV and the stroke was another unfortunate consequence of that disease process.

Please do not twist the truth.

If you do not want your version of the truth to be twisted, then do not make up a quotation. You state "Stephen Byrnes did not 'drop dead' of a stroke." By putting quotation marks around "drop dead," you are attributing that phrase to someone else. That phrase does not appear elsewhere on this page.

In fact, at the top of this page, it states that Stephen Byrnes "suffered a stroke." It then goes on to say that "[H]e died a week later."

How does one read this and come to the conclusion that it is claimed that Byrnes "dropped dead" of a stroke. It simply does not say that.

Perhaps you are a member of a group that likes to misinform people, like the NOW, MADD or the Atkins folks. Whatever the cause of your mysterious quotation, please stick to the truth.

It appears that you do not twist it, but rather, you prefer to just make it up. The guy did have HIV, so how health conscious could he have been? We do not know how he contracted it, but odds are he engaged in risky behavior other than his diet. (I do not know what his claim was regarding the infection.)

My personal comedic theory is that he had some bad bratwurst in his rump roast! Those bratwurst wraps made of intestine just don't offer much protection. LOL!

While one should not wish ill on those who view life differently, their choices in life can lead to unnecessary suffering.

So maximize your chances at good health and avoid ingesting toxins... in any orifice.

Dr. Byrnes has divulged in detail how he contracted HIV here: http://www.powerhealth.net/archives/1May2004.htm.

It's a fascinating read as it also constitutes an expose of how HIV can be contracted in manners other than by those the medical mainstream would have us believe. As he himself admitted, Dr. Byrnes got caught in his misfortunes and stresses, failing to employ even his own protective anti-stress strategies and letting his health spiral out of control during the first half of 2003.
(BTW, I'm not affiliated with Dr. Byrnes' site or any anti-vegetarian circles.)

Lastly, I second the statement made by the anonymous in the last post on 10:23 PM.
