The illness labelled Basedow <br />can often be a bitter blow. <br />All thyroid problems stem from lack <br />of halogen within the pack. <br />Fluor, Iodine and Chrome and Brome <br />are really the epitome <br />of war-like battles often lost <br />and added to the human cost. <br />Atomic weight determines which <br />will end up the victorious bitch. <br />The gland, deprived of basic matters <br />then overworks, soon lies in tatters. <br />The medico now nukes it quick <br />which keeps the patient poor and sick. <br />Or he provides a xeno pill <br />to institute a gentle kill. <br />All thyroid illness could be cured <br />if doctors openly endured <br />a middle income life today. <br />Though this ain't likely, I must say.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/iodine-does-what/
