(Gasp!) I suppose not, but Ed's response to my original post
on the subject of possible cold fusion suppression was a little
funny. You know, Dimitri, just a little.....funny.
On the subject of individuals not being able to buy heavy
water anymore, Ed replied:
This is not true, a proper person can buy heavy-water.
The issue is liability. D2O is a poison. Therefore, like all
such chemicals, it is sold only to businesses.
Now either Ed is stupid or uninformed, which I seriously
doubt, or he assumes that I am stupid and/or uninformed,
which I guess is open to speculation. You need to replace
half the water in your body with D2O before it becomes
toxic. On that scale, Karo syrup is more poisonous.
Well Michael, I have no trouble buying heavy water. However, when I
have attempted to buy Li from a supplier with whom I had not done
business, I was informed that because Li is dangerous, they would not
send it to a residential address. Also, discussions with people at the
chemical suppliers indicate that they do not want the liability of
untrained people doing potentially dangerous chemistry in their homes,
because the supplier can be sued if something bad happened.
The difference between D2O and Karo syrup is that you would know that
you were drinking D2O.
Have you discussed your problem with suppliers and what was their response?
Furthermore, all sorts of chemicals that are really poisonous
can be bought by individuals. You can buy lead acetate and
silver nitrate on eBay if you want and, let me assure you, they
are far more toxic than heavy water. You can even buy
potassium cyanide if you sign for it. But just you try to buy
100gm or so of heavy water. This clamp down on heavy
water purchase began slowly after P&F and became nearly
impossible after 9/11. Draw your own conclusion.
I'm sure you can buy dangerous chemicals from all sorts of places.
However, the major chemical companies are careful because they can be sued.

Scene at the heavy water plant across the valley from the
CANDU reactor: Gaston and Maude are the nightime
caretakers.
Gaston: Maude, zis moose soup tasts like merde de poullet.
Maude: Mais pourquoi, mon amour, eet is ze old family
recipe, non?
Gaston: Maude, you lazzy beetch, haf you been using ze
heavy water in ze cooking again?
Maude: Mais Gaston, eet is such long way to ze well, and my
back she is hurting. Et alors, ze heavy water is such a jolie
bleu, n'est-ce pas?
Gaston: Zis is ze third time zis week, my mitochodria, zey are
dying off.
Maude: What are ze mitochondria?
Gaston: I am not sure, but my left arm is not working, call zat
nice Dr. Storms at Los Alamos, he weel know what to do.
Well, OK, it's not that amusing, but you get the idea.
