elevator ride

I am still working on perfecting explaining how homeopathy works and most of the time I feel like I lose people in the translation. I am going to review by posting segments of what I am saying in this blog. Audrey, my close friend says I need an 'elevator' statement but I find that almost impossible since health and illness is just not that short a ride.

Homeopathy is a system of medicine expressed by the Latin aphorism, "SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR", or LIKE CURES LIKE;  diseases are healed by agents capable of producing symptoms resembling those found in the disease that is under treatment. A disease for Hahnemann (founder of Homeopathy) consists essentially in a group of signs & symptoms. The proper medicine for any disease is the one which is capable of producing a similar group of symptoms when given to a healthy person which Hahnemann coined a "proving".  That can't be summed up in an elevator ride or can it?

like treats like= simple art of medicine= is that short enough?
