If he was poisoned with Polonium, he’s doomed, there’s no cure, and we will know the truth soon enough.
He said it must have been a small dose. From what I read, it does make a big difference how much you ingest.
It turns out there’s a lot of polonium in tobacco, just from the air. For some reason, it accumulates in tobacco.
It can cause cancer later on. If you got a big enough dose, it will get in your liver, kidneys, lungs, bones.
There’s actually a chelating agent that they are having success with for removing the polonium from the body.
Here’s one article about it.

Depends on dosage. The anthrax in 2001 got its intended victim, a photography editor for the Globe, while killing just one other person. Infowars is unreliable (why it can’t be used as a source), but occasionally finds an acorn.
I can think of three sources of polonium that wouldn’t be fatal (Russians aren’t on the list). Find dosage (if any), point to motive.
