Daily Mail: Putin foe Alexei Navalny WAS poisoned: German doctors reveal he could be ‘incapacitated for months’ - days after Russian medics insisted they found no sign of toxins
* Navalny was flown to Germany on Saturday from a hospital in Omsk, Siberia
* Allies have said he will survive but be 'incapacitated for months' from his work
* They have accused the Kremlin of masterminding the alleged poisoning
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been poisoned, medical tests carried out by German doctors have indicated.
In a statement the Berlin hospital where he is being treated revealed extensive tests pointed to 'intoxication by a substances from the group of active substances called cholinesterase inhibitors'. Further analysis to identify the exact chemical is ongoing.
'The outcome remains uncertain but long-term effects, especially to the nervous system, could not be ruled out', they said.
Cholinesterase inhibitors are drugs that can increase communication between nerve cells in the brain. They are sometimes used to temporarily improve or stabilise the symptoms of people with dementia.
Common side effects of cholinesterase inhibitors include vomiting, muscle cramps, headache and hallucinations.
Certain chemical classes of pesticides work against bugs by interfering with, or 'inhibiting', cholinesterase but they can also be poisonous to humans.

Merkel's cop out. So the natural gas line pumps won't suddenly fail.
Anon beat me to it. Yes I’m sure her precious Russian gas pipeline deal will be in no jeopardy.
Merkels' cop out? I agree.
But perception is reality and dumb suckers, will buy he fig leaf, hook, line and sinker.

I bet Aamna, reporters like her, and some of their readership believe that Merkel is tough as nails on Putin.
Is Merkel a surrender monkey? Yes.
It goes very deep. It is not only politicians, but idiot reporters that got us to this point.
