I have been informed by a medical doctor that there are indeed cases where
an excess of iodine has the same result  -- a goiter -- as the more normal
case of an insufficiency of iodine.

I still don't believe in homeopathy.  The power of the human mind to heal is
phenomenal, and if it works through a placebo effect, fine.
