To be fair to them -- and I'm wary of applying too much fairness to hokum-peddling cranks, admittedly -- they're not claiming to cure AIDS; just to help treat it. I doubt the cabbage juice or the bleach will help, much, but the brazil nuts & olive oil are at least providing a few good quality calories...
