This is called isopathy. It is a form of "vaccination".
It was done during Hahnemann's day as well. HAhnemann (in the organon - Footnote 63 to Aphorism 56) did not fully approve of this method as homeopathic. IN the long term he observed that it only aggravated the disease.
It seems to work in the shoirt term, but is not homeopathy as the totality of symptoms was not taken into consideration. So the remedy is not a similimum.
It may only have a partial or specific action whatever the potency used.
