Many of you probably saw the National Geographic issue
with the cover story "Poison: 12 Toxic Tales" with the subtitle
"The Poison Paradox: too much can kill, a little can cure". No
mention of homeopathy in that August science magazine, of course.

done provings of a lot of them but we have a ways to go!
