For example, the homeopathic theory of the "Law of Similars," is really referring to the biochemistry of our immune systems - how our bodies differentiate between "self" and "not self." And this is how vaccines work. We give our bodies dead versions of viruses like the flu for example, and we let our immune systems learn to recognize them, so when the real thing comes around, our white blood cells and immunoglobulins know to attack and destroy.
