Nothing to be done about Po 210 is not correct. There is the possibility of chealation to reduce the amount in the body - this is standard for many heavy metals. Polonium is a metaliod, of this my be less effective. Transfusions of white blood cells, and basically massive blood replacement. Supportive Dialysis can reduce the chance of of organ failure by moving toxins created by cell death out of the body. Intervenous feeding can help maintain energy. The cardaic damage can be mitigated with some drugs. ************* The above won't work if there is a large dose of Po 210. Since Litvinenko lived about 30 days, it appears the dose was calibrated so he would stay alive at least 10 days, but not three months. If we assume that the designed dose was delivered, then the people who did this have experiment based knowledge of Polonium health effects and dosing. So they have had people killed with Po 210 before, either accidently or intentionally. This would really limit the number of nations that could do this. All the permanent members of the UN security council plus Israel.

It weren't the Russians. Technically, it was a professional killing but left too many clues pointing to Russia. It took tool long for him to die. So the display of the man used as the example had to take a while to drive the message. Someone is not happy with too many Russians choosing UK as their base. Who, do you think would be unhappy with the fact of too many Russians using the UK as their new home? If you answer this correctly you have the perpetrators. I am not going to vent whom and Elmat usually name names.

Hi Jay, Always nice to see when we can agree on things. Yes, gold is very pretty. Yes, poisoning people with polonium isn't nice. My advice to you, if you are worried about your future, send your kids to medical school. Read "Dr. Zhivago" if you don't know why. Even better advice, if you want your progeny to be rich, make it a family rule to buy land, and never, ever sell it, generation after generation. While working on family history, it boggles my mind how many thousands of acres my family owned but sold. The city of Alexandria, VA, for one, the city of Jackson, MS for another. Short sighted. Back to gold. Yes, it is very pretty. But then, I assume that in Hong Kong you can't legally stockpile Glocks and Kalashnikovs and so forth. Given the choice between gold and a private army -- not much of a choice, I'd say. If you know how to shoot, and you know how to lead men, and you know strategy and tactics -- forget the gold. You can just take what you need.
