Answer to Question 1

Answer: Like cures like means that pain or other symptoms can be reduced by taking a substance that would prompt the same symptoms, but in a dose much too dilute to actually harm the person. This minute dose is nevertheless theorized to prompt the immune system to respond, and in doing so, heal the patient's originaland similarsymptoms. For example, a homeopathic remedy to treat inflammation would be a highly diluted toxin thatin a larger dosewould provoke inflammation. In contrast, conventional pharmaceuticals treat symptoms by opposing them; thus, for example, inflammation is treated with a drug that has an anti-inflammatory effect.
