The Curing Ability of Arsenic

[Jasmina]

  Researchers from the University of Dundee in the UK were able to reveal for the first time how Arsenic and other molecules like Arsenic trioxide (ATO), known for many years to cure the acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), help break down the protein causing the leukemia. This achievement may help researchers develop less poisonous drugs to fight the disease

That is a VERY VERY DANGEROUS way to title a thread.

Some people might not know that Arsenic is a poison.

  That was the title of an internet article!

Arsenic used to be administered as a medicine for certain illnesses.

I believe it was given to those infected with syphilis in the days prior to modern antibiotics.

Medical doctors know full well that almost every known substance which can be used as a medicine is a lethal poison; the only difference being the dosage level which is administered.

There is a rule taught to medical doctors that medicine must be administered to patients in the smallest dosage possible which is effective.

  Yes that is very true! Usually the dosage of medicine was estamblished long before the actual medicine is given to the patients!!! That explains the bunch of studies of the farmaceutical companies!!!!
