He [Mikheil Saakashvili] needs to be transferred to a medical facility where detoxification related to heavy metals and drugs will be possible - we have such a facility in the United States of America, American expert-toxicologist David Smith said at the trial of the former president of Georgia.
Also, the expert gave positive answers to the questions, whether the dynamics of the course of Saakashvili's diseases is sharply negative and whether there is a risk of disability or death.
"Deriving from the fact that there is no facility in Georgia that can provide specialized treatment for heavy metal intoxication, he should be transferred to a qualified medical facility, we have such a facility in the United States," said David Smith.
In addition, the expert also gave a positive answer to the question of whether Saakashvili faces an imminent risk of death due to the lack of access to treatment in Georgia.
"He didn't get proper treatment for heavy metals, which involves specific therapy, it's about the mechanism of heavy metal removal. Detoxification was also not carried out in connection with the drugs that were given to level the existing symptoms," said David Smith.
Regarding the statement of the expert himself, according to which Saakashvili is poisoned with various metals, Smith explained that these substances are not used for medical treatment.
"They cannot be an indicator of any medical treatment because they are very toxic. These metals aggravate the health condition and also we are dealing with causal connections - these metals are related to the patient's diseases," said David Smith.
