Let like cure like

One pal emailed me this text. :D

Один американский преподаватель попросил русских студентов перевести английскую поговорку "Let like cures like" на русский. Один из переводов получился особенно хорош: "Давайте любить, лечиться, и опять любить".

Never heard of 'Let like cures like'. Is it part of a larger proverb?

I think it's based on idiom "like cures like". The right Russian translation is "Лечите подобное подобным". Russian twin is also existed "Клин клином вышибают".

Story: apocryphal. Proverb: fabricated.... My guess anyway.
