Profile of a typical poisoner
Caucasian;
male; average to above average intelligence; underachiever; inadequate
personality; non-athletic; cowardly; neat and orderly; meticulous;
Loner;
careful planner; and non confrontational (either physically or psychologically).
Criminal poisoning is the result of easily available
poisons being administered to others by someone with criminal
intent.
We offer
two (2) types of
heavy metals hair strand test evaluations, basic and broad spectrum.
We also offer a chemical/unknown toxin evaluation. Please

that both the heavy metals and
chemical/unknown toxin evaluations
(see below) be ordered
in tandem if you suspect that
some
type of poisoning has taken place in the past or is ongoing.
Chemical/unknown toxin evaluation
This test seeks
out both organic (chemical compounds derived from
plants, animals and carbon) inorganic compounds
(non-living, non hydrocarbon, compounds) plus
unknown chemicals, poisons and toxins that include
pesticides, organic exposure chemicals, painting or
cleaning products, rodent poisons, volatiles
(evaporating rapidly) e.g. Acetone, paints and
lacquers, cleaning supplies, adhesives, photographic
supplies and many others plus inhalable substances
e.g. medicine, allergens, nitrous oxide, toluene,
gasoline, paint thinner and others. This analysis
does not test for drugs or heavy metals e.g.
Arsenic, Lead, Mercury. Chromium, Cadmium, and many
others.

Worth the
read! Interesting comments about poisons and their use.
Our unknown chemical/toxin and heavy metals evaluation
scans a test sample using GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass
Spectrometry) following pretesting preparations. The detected
results of the GC/MS data is then compared against the Mass
Spectral Libraries data. The principal mass spectrometry
database is the Wiley/NIST(National Institute of Standards and
Technology), which contains
Mass Spectral data for over
500,000
chemicals.
Below is a short list of some of the toxins and

F.Y.I. (for your information)
"Most signs and symptoms associated
with natural disease can be produced by a poison and
practically every sign and symptom observed in poisoning can be
mimicked by those associated with natural diseases."
- L. Adelson
|
Most often the victim of poisoning will
appear natural in death. In effect, poisoning is murder in
slow motion, as it may take a long period of time, depending on
the dose and the selected poison employed as a weapon of death.
The lethality of the poison is determined by the type of poison
ingested, the concentration
or degree of potency and the duration of exposure. Duration of
exposure might be a one time event or over a period of time as
in periodic, reduced, dosing that may result in an accumulative
lethal dose.
Notable quotes about poisoning
"When you consider what a chance women have to poison their
husbands, its a wonder there isn't more of it done" - Kim
Hubbard
Martha: "Well, dear, for a gallon of elderberry wine, I take one
teaspoonful of arsenic, and add a teaspoon of strychnine, and
then just a pinch of cyanide" - from Arsenic and Old Lace,
Joseph Kesselring
"Poisons and
medicines are often times the same substance given with
different intents" - Peter Mere Latham
Something to think about!
Poisons have been in use over the last 5000 years.
Poisons are one of the oldest forms of homicidal weapons developed by
mankind. History tells us that the Sumerians', residents of
Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq) around 2500BC had an interest in
and knowledge of poisons. The Sumerians worshipped a deity, a God,
known as"Gula." She was the first known recorded spirit associated
with poisons.
Poisoning
from antifreeze which today is usually
ethylene glycol -- a clear, colorless,
odorless liquid with a sweet taste --
that can produce dramatic and dangerous
toxicity.
Ethylene
glycol is found most commonly in
automotive cooling systems and
in hydraulic brake fluid. In an industrial
setting it is also used as a solvent in a variety of processes.
Many
cases of ethylene glycol poisoning are
due to the accidental ingestion of it by
children and pets. They may take in large amounts
since the substance tastes good.
Alcoholics may also drink it as a
substitute for alcohol (ethanol).
Ethylene
glycol is itself relatively nontoxic.
However, it is metabolized (changed) in
the body by the
enzyme
alcohol dehydrogenase into glycolic
acid, glyoxylic acid and oxalic acid,
which are highly toxic compounds.
Renal
failure,
acidosis
and
hypocalcemia
may follow the intake of ethylene
glycol. There can be widespread tissue
injury in the kidney, brain, liver, and
blood vessels. The result can be fatal.
 Many
deaths, perhaps the death of your loved one or friend, may have been
attributed to other causes even though their death may have been caused by
some form of a poison. Poisons are used to murder human beings because
the perpetrator feels that they have a better chance of avoiding
arrest and/or conviction. Many poisons are colorless, odorless, tasteless,
chemically stable, and difficult to detect. They are readily soluble and their effect is
often delayed allowing the perpetrator time to escape the crime scene.
If those who are now buried could raise their hands to tell us they were
poisoned to death the number of raised hands would probably shock you. Why?
Because some poisons are very difficult to detect and perpetrators,
poisoners, have become more sophisticated. The science of current
Toxicology has evolved to a level of poison detection that exposes illness
and death attributed to the ingestion of poison or poisons. The most popular poisons in order
of use are Arsenic, Cyanide, and Strychnine.
There are many, many, others.
The perpetrator or poisoner will usually resort to
administering a poison that is easy to obtain.

The most common, popular, poisons in order of use are Arsenic, Cyanide, and
Strychnine
|
Arsenic
A
highly poisonous metallic element having three allotropic forms,
yellow, black, and gray, of which the brittle, crystalline gray
is the most common. Arsenic and its compounds are used in
insecticides, weed killers, solid-state doping agents, and
various alloys. Almost
tasteless, acute, 200mg dose, inhibits enzymes resulting in the
disruption of the victims metabolism. The most common poison used by
humans. Administered to the victim in food or drink. Symptom onset
interval: hours to days depending on dosage. Symptoms
acute: 30 min.- 2hrs. following exposure; vomiting, bloody diarrhea,
severe abdominal pain, burning esophageal pain, metallic taste in
mouth, ultimately death due to circulatory failure and destruction
of the nervous system. Arsenic can be detected in the hair and bones
for many years.

|
Cyanide
Any of various salts or esters of hydrogen cyanide containing a
CN group, especially the extremely poisonous compounds potassium
cyanide and sodium cyanide.
Described has having an almond like
odor but often difficult to smell for those (40-60 % of our
population) who have what is called, "odor blindness." The liquid
form is called prussic acid, large industrial forms are called,
"cyanide eggs." Sodium and Potassium salts of HCN, hydrogen cyanide
are white in color with a bitter taste. Cyanide kills by shutting
down respiration which results in critical effects on the heart and
brain due to oxygen depravation. As you may know cyanide is used for
the administration of a secondary death penalty in states that
formerly used the gas chamber as their primary form of criminal
capitol punishment. |
|
Strychnine
An extremely poisonous white
crystalline alkaloid, C21H22O2N2,
derived from nux vomica and related plants, used as a poison for
rodents and other pests and topically in medicine as a stimulant
for the central nervous system.
A plant compound, the seed, derived
from the Styrchnos nux-vomica tree. Can also be in a white powder
form, extremely bitter, can easily hidden in tonic water or
foods or drinks that have a sour or bitter taste. Symptom on
set time interval; 15-30 minutes (oral) 5 minutes with a nasal route.
Muscle stiffness, painful cramps, full body muscle contractions with
the victim's body taking the form of an arch with only the head and
heels touching the floor. This arch is called an, "opisthotonic
convulsion." Death can ultimately result from respiratory arrest.
These symptoms can be confused with a grand mal seizure or tetanus
described as an
infectious, often fatal disease
caused by a specific bacterium that enters the body through wounds
and characterized by respiratory paralysis and tonic spasms and
rigidity of the voluntary muscles, esp. those of the neck and lower
jaw. |
|
Botulinus Toxin
A poison
7,000,000 times more lethal than Cobra venom
Produced by a bacteria, Clostridium Botulinum (Botulism) this poison can grow
in home canned foods at a pH of < 4.5 . Causes severe muscle damage
resulting in respiratory failure. Depending on exposure to Botulinus
death can occur within 10 hours following symptom appearance.
Symptoms: dry sore throat, dry mouth, dizziness, vomiting, upset
stomach, impaired speech, double vision, droopy eye lids,
progressive paralysis, respiratory arrest. This effects of this
poison can be confused with a stroke, tick paralysis, adverse drug
reactions, and many other common illness conditions. |
Do you think antifreeze is the poison
of choice?
F.Y.I.- Antifreeze
Poisoning
Today's
antifreeze
is primarily ethylene glycol
used in
internal combustion engines
for cooling and to prevent
freezing.
Ethylene
glycol solutions became
available in
1927
and were marketed as "permanent
antifreeze,"
a clear, colorless, odorless,
liquid with a sweet taste.
Antifreeze can produce dangerous
toxicity effects, even death, in
both humans and animals when
ingested.
Many cases of ethylene glycol
poisoning are due to the
accidental ingestion of this
toxin by
children. They may take in large
amounts since the substance
tastes good. Alcoholics may also
drink it as a substitute for
alcohol (ethanol).
Anti-freeze
turns to acid in
the body and
drinking just a
small amount
could be fatal.
Nerve endings
and blood
vessels would be
destroyed and
tissue in the
kidneys, brain
and liver
severely
affected.
Blindness and
deafness can
result and the
nervous system
comes under
attack, leading
to violent
spasms in the
limbs.
Ethylene
glycol is itself relatively
nontoxic. However, it is
metabolized (changed) in the
body by the
enzyme
alcohol dehydrogenase into
glycolic acid and oxalic acid,
which are highly toxic
compounds.
Renal
failure, acidosis and
hypocalcemia
may follow the intake of
ethylene glycol. There can be
widespread tissue injury in the
kidney, brain, liver, and blood
vessels. The results can be
fatal.

The effects of
antifreeze poisoning on humans
The lethal dose of ethylene glycol is usually
about 100 mL (20 teaspoons) in an adult, but as little as 30 mL may
be fatal
More than 8,000 potential
poisonings are reported each year from ethylene
glycol, the active ingredient in antifreeze and
from methanol (wood alcohol). Some of these
poisonings are fatal while others cause disabling
organ and visual problems.
