[sci.med.aids] Third Heat Treatment Patient Died.

DGREEN@IBM.COM (Dan Greening) (08/31/90)

I just thought I would note this, for those who don't know:  The third
person treated with the blood-heating method died shortly after the
procedure with (I believe) congestive heart failure.  No autopsy was
performed, however.  The treatment was performed in Mexico City.  The
physician claims blood-heating had nothing to do with the death, however
that claim seems highly suspect.

I heard this report on NPR's All Things Considered.  I wish I could refer
you to a news article, but unfortunately I can't--I haven't seen it reported
in the NY Times, for example.
