How Homeopathy Cures

Organon Aphorism §44

Similar diseases can neither (as is asserted of dissimilar diseases in I) repel one another, nor (as has been shown of dissimilar diseases in II) suspend one another, so that the old one shall return after the new one has run its course; and just as little can two similar diseases (as has been demonstrated in III respecting dissimilar affections) exist beside each other in the same organism, or together form a double complex disease.
