The concluding remarks by the author
should be regarded as the essence - When the winds of integration are
flowing amongst the physicians of all schools, The Law of Similars stands
as a connecting thread to bridge the existing gap. In spite of information
explosion that is occurring the world over, lack of proper communication
is one of the reasons for prevailing misconceptions and Law of Similars
is the best theme to start a fruitful dialogue. This dialogue will reduce
the castigation that is sparked off by physicians of other schools and
will allow them to look at homoeopathy with a fresh, inquisitive mind.
Once the Law of Similars is comprehended in its depth and extent, acceptance
of homoeopathy will be on a wider scale.
