before and after poisoning
A group of doctors in Austria say “there is no doubt” Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko was poisoned.
Dr. Michael Zimpfer told a group of reporters Saturday that the 50-year-old politician has high levels of dioxin in his system and the poison was most likely orally administered.
Even minute amounts of dioxin can kill you. Bad stuff.

dioxon a byproduct in Agent Orange, still an issue
Agent Orange is a defoliant, a plant killer, that was used in Vietnam for “Territory Denial”. The idea was that the VC wouldn’t be so hard to kill if we could see them better by killing the jungle canopy that protected them. Specifically Agent Orange was a 50:50 mixture of two Phenoxy herbicides, 2, 4-D (2, 4 dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) and 2, 4, 5-T (2, 4, 5-trichlorophenoxy acetic acid). It is ironic that the Dioxin that makes Agent Orange so deadly isn’t even an intended part of the plant killer. Dioxin is a man made by-product of the manufacturing process for making Phenoxy herbicides like Agent Orange.
The unpredictable reactions of the lab animals exposed to dioxins and the actual method by which they kill is one of the mysteries that medical science is still trying to solve. One thing is certain, exposure to Dioxins multiplies the chances of cancers, immune system disorders, liver problems, and a host of other complaints. Even more tragic is the fact that exposure to Agent Orange appears to multiply the chances of birth defects in the children of those exposed. Vietnam veterans and certain peasants in South Vietnam have the highest level of exposure of anyone tested.
Sioxins are over-rated According to this Doctgor
Though it is doubtful whether more than a handful of people have ever died from dioxin poisoning, it has been a favourite among environmental scaremongers for more than 30 years.
Dioxins – a group of more than 200 chemicals – have been recognised over the past century as by-products of the synthesis of chlorinated organic compounds in various manufacturing processes. They are also produced naturally by forest fires and volcanoes – and by the incineration of industrial and agricultural wastes, such as animal carcasses.
Chemical Industry “front” site to pooh-pooh the dixoin controversy — Note its opening line that dioxons come mostly from incineration.
Meanwhile these folks say just the opposite at the Dioxin Homepage.
Looks like Putin is up to his old trick again. I guess when the poison didn’t work, he tried to stuff the ballot box to get his man in. I see Russia is well on its way back to its old roots. Can a return to Communism be far behind?
The photo on the right looks a lot like Boris Yeltsin. We can only assume they were poisoning him too!
