| Standard Therapie A cure refers to the illnesses' symptoms, irrespective of the patient's personality.
| Individual Treatment For every person there is the exactly fitting medicine - corresponding to his individuality.

A cure is reached by using a medicine similar to the illness. As the following examples show, the Law of Similars existed long before homeopathy:
Paracelsus (1493 - 1541)
"Only the poison is also the cure“
Hippocrates (460 - 377 v.Chr.)
„Most illnesses are curable using the same factors as those which caused them.“ Not just medicine, but the magical world seems to work along "similar law" lines:
Joanne Rowling - Harry Potter
Harry Potter's magic wand contains among others the feather of a phoenix. His antagonist Lord Voldemort also has a feather from a phoenix in his magic wand. Both feathers are from the same bird. |
