Off the top of my head, I thought zinc was "controlled" (the zinc pills you buy, unlike vitamin C pills, have to be under x milligrams) because too much zinc causes severe problems.

Biochemist: I am not sure if there are any criteria that make a treatment "homeopathic" other than the perception of "natural".
I thought the key idea of homeopathic was what might be called "absence by means of absolute dilution": what was mentioned in the opening post.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
