The swelling of the thyroid gland at the back of the neck is referred to as Goiter. Women are more vulnerable to Goitre as compared to men.

Goitre disease is caused commonly due to deficiency of iodine in the diet. The thyroid gland makes use of organic iodine in its secretion and a diet deficient in organic iodine is a predisposing factor towards the appearance of this disease, especially under physical and emotional disturbances. Goitre disease gradually affects those who habitually live on denatured foods and nut those who eat much of their food in a raw or uncooked state.
