Thanks for writing. I JUST found out about homeopathic remedies yesterday and am trying to get my mind around this very concept. Apparently, when prescribing, sometimes doctors go by what is called the "The Law of Similars" in which the same natural substances that cause a set of symptoms if given to a healthy individual in large quantities can also stimulate a sick individual to get better, if given in tiny amounts (micro-doses). Same concept as allergy shots. No wonder it's so confusing.-nobodyz
