"Dioxin poisoning
Well they finally know what Victor Yushcenko was poisoned with. One of the many forms of Dioxin.
Dioxin is the name generally given to a class of super-toxic chemicals, the chlorinated dioxins and furans, formed as a by-product of the manufacture, molding, or burning of organic chemicals and plastics that contain chlorine. It is the nastiest, most toxic man-made organic chemical; its toxicity is second only to radioactive waste.
Dioxin exhibits serious health effects when it reaches as little as a few parts per trillion in your body fat. Dioxin is a powerful hormone disrupting chemical. By binding to a cell's hormone receptor, it literally modifies the functioning and genetic mechanism of the cell, causing a wide range of effects, from cancer to reduced immunity to nervous system disorders to miscarriages and birth deformity.
Because it literally changes the functioning of your cells, the effects can be very obvious or very subtle. Because it changes gene functions, it can cause so-called genetic diseases to appear, and can interfere with child development. There is no "threshold" dose - the tiniest amount can cause damage, and our bodies have no defense against it. In high doses, dioxin can cause liver failure, cancer and death, but in smaller doses it causes organ damage and cancer which can kill, but it usually takes awhile. Dioxin also causes a severe skin disease, chloracne, which is the most visible of Yushcenko’s symptoms. Medical authorities are unsure if Victor Yushcenko will ever recover fully.
Here is the real question what type of Dioxin did they use and why use Dioxin. I mean these assassins are not the smartest, the only reason I can see why they choose to use Dioxin is because it takes quite a while to pin-point this toxin"
