VIENNA (AFP) - Ukrainian opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko was the victim of dioxin poisoning and the toxin was probably administered deliberately by a "third party", his doctor in Vienna said. "There is no doubt about the fact that the disease has been caused by a case of poisoning by dioxin," said Dr Michael Zimpfer, the medical chief of Vienna's Rudolfinerhaus clinic.
"We suspect a cause triggered by a third party," he added.
Poison
Dioxins and furans are some of the most toxic chemicals known to science. A draft report released for public comment in September 1994 by the US Environmental Protection Agency clearly describes dioxin as a serious public health threat. The public health impact of dioxin may rival the impact that DDT had on public health in the 1960's. According to the EPA report, not only does there appear to be no "safe" level of exposure to dioxin, but levels of dioxin and dioxin-like chemicals have been found in the general US population that are "at or near levels associated with adverse health effects.".

So is this guy invinceable or maybe the antichrist? How could someone live through poisoning of this type?
KIEV, Ukraine - Ukrainian lawmakers reopened their investigation Monday into Viktor Yushchenko's allegations that authorities tried to kill him, after doctors in Austria determined the presidential candidate had been poisoned by dioxin
�The decision by a parliamentary commission followed a similar move by the country's prosecutor general on Sunday.
Yushchenko had asked investigators to wait until after the Dec. 26 runoff so as not to influence the outcome of the vote.
The commission will be led by Volodymyr Sivkovych, a lawmaker who has supported Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, Yushchenko's opponent in this month's election.

It all depends on exposure and time etc. No doubt it will shave many years off of his life span. But if he was dialized in time that may have helped etc. Its very variable and if they did over a long period of time, it may have just built up. The body can adapt to a point and maybe a gradual poisoning was what occured
