Autopathie

[Jiří Čehovský]

Eine Methode, die ihre Wurzeln in der Homöopathie hat. Das Prinzip der Autopathie wurde bereits im Altertum in Asien (China, Japan) und später auch in Europa angewandt. Die Systematik der Autopathie und das Instrument für die Zubereitung des Präparates wurden allerdings erst im Jahr 2002 entwickelt.

Die (Wieder-)Entdeckung und Weiterentwicklung von Autopathie krönte Jiří Čehovskýs Bemühungen, eine Möglichkeit zu finden, wie er seinen Patienten noch besser helfen könnte. Er wusste aus eigener, langjähriger Erfahrung als Homöopath, wie schwierig es ist aus vielen hundert bis tausend existierenden Mitteln das geeignete Präparat gegen die jeweilige Beschwerde für die jeweilige Person zu finden. Außerdem passiert es in der Homöopathie oft, dass nach einiger Zeit auch das perfekt ausgewählte Medikament nicht mehr wirkt, und es ist daher notwendig, ein neues zu finden.

Autopathische Präparate wirken oft ausgezeichnet und es ist daher in der Regel nicht notwendig, zusätzliche Medikamente zu suchen und anzuwenden.

Autopathie ist zwar relativ einfach in der Anwendung, hat aber ganz klare Regeln. Nur wenn diese eingehalten werden, kann Autopathie funktionieren. Der Leitfaden auf den folgenden Seiten liefert Ihnen in fünf Punkten die notwendigen Informationen zu einer erfolgreichen (Selbst-)Behandlung in einer übersichtlichen Form.

Die Systematik der Heilung

Autopathie stimmt das feinstoffliche Kreativsystem des Menschen auf seine ursprünglichen Vibrationen und Melodien ab. Dadurch können die Strukturen des Körpers und des Geistes in ihrer ursprünglichen gesunden Ordnung wieder hergestellt werden. Die Gesundung funktioniert nach bestimmten Regeln und Gesetzen, die Sie kennen müssen, damit Sie sich bestimmte Reaktionen des Körpers während der autopathischen Behandlung erklären können.

Der lebenslange gesundheitliche Abstieg des Menschen verläuft im Allgemeinen nach einem Prinzip, das man als „Gesundheitsstiege“ bezeichnen kann. Am Anfang stehen leichte und oberflächliche Beschwerden, die mit der Zeit tiefer in den Organismus eindringen und ernstere Beschwerden hervorrufen. Parallel dazu nimmt der Schutz des Organismus ab. Als Beispiel dient der folgende Verlauf:

Gesundheit verlauf Ausschläge verlauf Husten verlauf Bronchialasthma verlauf Schlaflosigkeit verlauf Depression

Das Ziel der autopathischen Behandlung besteht in der Umkehr dieses gesundheitlichen Abstiegs. Die Rückkehr zur Gesundheit verläuft dabei wieder auf der gleichen Stiege aber in umgekehrter Richtung. Im Augenblick der Anwendung des autopathischen Präparats wird die körperliche Frequenz nach dem Resonanzprinzip auf die ursprünglichen gesunden Vibrationen eingestimmt. Diese stimmen den Körper und den Geist auf den ehemaligen gesunden Zustand allmählich ein, in dem sie vielleicht vor zwanzig oder dreißig Jahren einmal waren. Dieser Prozess ist langsam und passiert in Sprüngen auf der persönlichen „Gesundheitsstiege“ aufwärts. Zwischen den einzelnen Erscheinungen (Umkehrsymptome, Reinigende Reaktionen) können längere Zeitabschnitte ohne merkliche Veränderungen liegen. Zuerst werden die Probleme, die zuletzt aufgetreten sind und die sich im Innersten befinden -in o.a. Fall Depressionen- geheilt oder wesentlich gelindert. Dann werden die Schlaflosigkeit und danach das Asthma ausgeheilt bzw. wesentlich verbessert. Nach einiger Zeit kann Husten, mit dem Zentrum des Reizes im Hals (näher an der Oberfläche) auftauchen, der vor zwanzig Jahren akut war.

Nach dem Verschwinden oder der Linderung des Hustens kommen Ausschläge als ein Symptom auf der Oberfläche des Körpers. Diese standen womöglich einmal am Beginn der lebenslangen Krankheitsgeschichte. Dann folgt ein Zeitraum ohne wesentliche Beschwerden. Dieser Verlauf zeigt, dass die Beschwerden

1) von innen nach außen geheilt werden. Zuerst die Depressionen und die Schlaflosigkeit und dann das Asthma, denn der Geist befindet sich in einer weiter innen liegenden Sphäre als die Lunge. Die Lunge wiederum ist ein weiter innen liegendes Organ als der Hals und der Hals ist weiter innen als die Haut.

Die Beschwerden heilen auch 2) in der umgekehrten Richtung als sie erschienen sind.

Diese zwei Regeln sind die Basis der sog. „Hering´schen Heilgesetze“, die in der klassischen homöopathischen, ebenso wie in der autopathischen Praxis angewendet werden.

Der Mensch geht also durch die vergangenen Frequenzzustände in Richtung Gesundheit. Die Einstimmung des Organismus auf die vorigen, gesünderen Frequenzzustände ist fließend und kann Monate aber auch Jahre dauern, je nach der Vitalität des Einzelnen und der Art der Beschwerden. Tendenziell bewegt sich der Mensch nach der Anwendung des autopathischen Präparates in Richtung Gesundheit, obwohl die Empfindungen und Äußerungen dabei schwankend sind. Sie äußern sich morgens und abends bzw. tageweise unterschiedlich. Wenn man allerdings die Intensität der Beschwerden nach einem längeren Zeitraum vergleicht, lässt sich ein deutlicher Schub zum Besseren beobachten (siehe Mein Genesungstagebuch).

Jeder Mensch hat seine individuelle Gesundheitsstiege, die sich teilweise erheblich von anderen unterscheidet. Jeder Organismus weiß selbst genau, was für ihn am wichtigsten oder am bedrohlichsten bzw. am beschwerlichsten und daher „am tiefsten“ ist. So heilen die Beschwerden auch 3) in Reihenfolge ihrer individuellen Wichtigkeit. Das ist der dritte bedeutende Grundsatz, der zu den Hering´schen Gesetzen hinzukommt. Die Prioritäten wählt der Organismus selbst.

Bei Fällen, deren Krankheitssymptome sich auf den gesamten Körper verteilen, etwa bei Ekzemen oder chronischen Gelenksschmerzen, erfolgt die Heilung 4) von oben nach unten.

So verbessert sich ein Ganzkörper-Ekzem zuerst auf dem Gesicht, dann auf dem Hals anschließend auf der Brust und erst zum Schluss auf den Beinen.

Am Beginn des Heilungsprozesses kann es zu einer kurzen Verschlechterung kommen auch Homöopathische Verschlechterung genannt. Diese wird durch die Trägheitskraft der Beschwerden verursacht. Bei Ekzemen kann sie besonders stark auftreten, weil sie durch die Symptome der autopathischen Detoxikation oft noch verstärkt wird (siehe auch Reinigende Reaktionen bzw. Heilungskrise weiter unten). Das kann besonders bei Kindern sehr unangenehm sein. Wenn man allerdings die Detoxikationssymptome

z.B. mit Cortison-Salben unterdrückt, kommt es zu keinem Heilungsprozess.

Während der Behandlung können Problemen auftreten, die man früher schon einmal hatte, die sich aber schon lange nicht mehr gezeigt haben. Es kann sich um alte Symptome, wie Schnupfen, Husten, eine bestimmte Art von Ekzem oder eines aus der Vergangenheit bekannten Gefühls handeln. Sie alle sind Teil des Genesungsprozesses.

Diese wiederkehrenden früheren Symptome, sogenannte „Umkehrsymptome“, verschwinden nach kurzer Zeit wieder. Der Organismus steigt dann über sie durch die alten Frequenzstadien auf der Gesundheitsstiege nach oben. Es bedeutet freilich nicht, dass sich alle Symptome, die man in der Vergangenheit hatte, äußern werden. Wenn sie kommen, verlaufen sie in der Regel milder und kürzer. Sie sind aber ein guter Indikator für die richtige Entwicklungsrichtung. Beim Patienten nimmt gleichzeitig das Gefühl, gesund zu sein, stetig zu. Vom Auftreten eines Umkehrsymptoms sollte man sich also nicht verunsichern lassen. Wenn man trotzdem besorgt ist, kann man einen Arzt konsultieren und bei Bedarf Tests durchführen lassen. Der autopathische Prozess wird dadurch nicht negativ beeinflusst. Wenn Sie die Möglichkeit haben, sollten Sie jedenfalls einen erfahrenen Autopathie-Berater konsultieren. Er/Sie kann beurteilen, ob es sich um ein Umkehrsymptom im Rahmen der allgemeinen Besserung oder um einen Relaps –also um den Beginn eines Abstiegs in die ursprüngliche Pathologie– handelt.

Genesungsdauer

Grundsätzlich kann man damit rechnen, dass chronische Probleme, die ein Jahr gedauert haben, nach rund einem Monat ab der erstmaligen Anwendung des autopathischen Präparates abklingen. Wenn also ein chronisches Leiden seit acht Jahren besteht, dauert es minimal acht Monate bis das Problem beseitigt wird. Das ist natürlich nur ein durchschnittlicher Wert und die Dauer und der Verlauf sind sehr individuell. Es kann häufig auch zu einer schnelleren Besserung kommen. Vor allem bei strukturell veränderten Organen ist die notwendige Wirkungsdauer aber meistens länger. Personen mit einer schwachen Vitalität und großen Organveränderungen haben für die Beseitigung bestimmter Beschwerden oft keine Kraft mehr. Hier bedarf es der Anwendung einer anderen, neueren autopathischen Strategie (siehe Anwendung mit Prana). Eine Kombination mit Homöopathie kann in solchen Fällen auch nützlich sein allerdings dürfen die homöopathischen und autopathischen Präparate nur von solchen Personen verordnet werden, die sowohl Autopathie als auch Homöopathie beherrschen. Hier sind meist auch sehr komplexe Zusammenhänge im Spiel. Die Wirkung des autopathischen Präparates ist immer individuell und hängt vom innerlichen Gesamtzustand der jeweiligen Person ab.

Reinigende Reaktionen

In den ersten Tagen oder Wochen nach der Anwendung des autopathischen Präparates können reinigende Reaktionen auftreten. Es kommt zu einer verstärkten Ausschwemmung von Toxinen aus dem Körper. Die reinigenden Reaktionen äußern sich in Form von häufigerem Harn- oder Stuhlgang, Schwitzen ausflüssen aus der Nase, Vagina u.Ä. Dies kann wenige Stunden bis mehrere Tage dauern, bei geringer Intensität kann es sich aber auch um Wochen handeln. Nach dieser Reinigungsphase fühlt man sich üblicherweise besser als vorher.

Auch Zorn gehört In diese Kategorie. Er ist der Ausdruck der erwachenden aber noch nicht gänzlich handhabbaren Vitalität und kommt vor allem bei stark unterdrückten Personen vor.

Heilungskrise

Viele Patienten haben mehrere chronische Beschwerden, wovon eine zumeist stärker oder akut ist und die übrigen weniger Schwierigkeiten bereiten, sodass sie oft nicht als krankhaft wahrgenommen werden. Bevor eine Beschwerde verschwindet, kann sie oft durch das Stadium einer leichten, fast unsichtbaren, manchmal aber auch gut erkennbaren Verschlechterung gehen. Jede Struktur geht durch ein Stadium der Transformation, bevor sie in einen gesunden Zustand geformt wird. Dieses Transformationsstadium empfinden manche anfangs als unangenehm, besonders dann, wenn die Symptome sich bereits gebessert hatten. Oft handelt es sich nicht direkt um eine Verschlechterung, sondern um eine verstärkte Wahrnehmung des Problems.

In der Regel kommt es bald nach Anwendungsbeginn und dem Abklingen eventuell auftretender Verschlechterungen und reinigender Reaktionen zur Reduktion sämtlicher auch langjähriger Beschwerden um 20 bis 40 Prozent. Der Organismus sammelt in dieser Zeit Kräfte zur Beseitigung der Beschwerden. Danach kann es zu einer leichten Verschlechterung kommen, die aber meistens nicht die ursprüngliche Intensität oder den Charakter hat wie vor dem Beginn der autopathischen Behandlung. So können z.B. die Regel- oder Gelenksschmerzen stärker und ausgeprägter wahrgenommen werden als zuletzt. Dann klingt die Beschwerde schrittweise oder plötzlich ab und tritt nicht wieder auf. Zum Schluss passiert es mit Ekzemen - sie verschlechtern sich akut und dann, nach einigen Hochs und Tiefs heilen sie aus. Das bezeichnet man als eine Heilungskrise. Die Heilungskrise kann direkt vor der Beseitigung des chronischen Problems auftreten und kann ein paar Stunden, bei lang bestehenden strukturellen Problemen aber auch Wochen andauern. Relativ oft vergeht sie aber fast ohne Bemerkung oder nur andeutungsweise.

Wichtige Anmerkung zum Schluss

Erfahrungen zeigen, dass ein niedriger pH-Wert des Organismus den Erfolg der autopathischen Behandlung wesentlich verlangsamen und verkomplizieren kann. Stressiger Lebensstil, wenig Bewegung, ungesunde, einseitige Ernährung, Einnahme von Medikamenten, zu viel Alkohol und Nikotin (Rauchen), das alles macht unseren Organismus „sauer“. Wenn man die Lebensweise umstellt, reduziert man nicht nur das Risiko für die Entstehung von vielen Zivilisationskrankheiten, sondern hilft Autopathie ihre Wirkung zu entfalten. Umgekehrt funktioniert es auch. Sehr oft berichten Leute, die Autopathie anwenden, dass sie plötzlich und vor allem ohne Zwang ihre Ernährung umgestellt haben, weil es ihr Körper verlangte.

Darmnosoden nach Bach

[Dr Krishnendu Maity]

Julian: Application of an attenuated dose of a pathogenous product for curing the disease of which it is the result, if it is used after having been experimented on healthy

man, it becomes a NOSODE.’ –

Dr. Pierre Schmidt: A nosode [nosos (Greek) – means disease]is a homeopathic preparation made from matter from a sick animal or person. Substances such as respiratory discharges or diseased tissues are used. It sounds repulsive, but the preparation, using alcohol, as well as the repeated dilutions and succussions, essentially renders the substances harmless, while producing a powerful remedy. The use of nosodes in a prophylactic manner for preventing disease, has been employed in veterinary and human homeopathy for many years. It is supported by various holistic veterinarians and authors.

According to HPI (Vol. IV), nosodes is the ‘homeopathic preparation from pure microbial culture obtained from disease tissue and clinical materials (secretions, discharge, etc.).

Allendy: ‘The nosode is characterized by a pathological substance used as the medicine prepared in advance and according to the homeopathic method of dilution.

Fortier– Bernoville characterized a nosode as ‘Specificity and Immunity.’

‘Nosodes are some homeopathic preparations obtained from microbe cultures, from viruses, pathological secretions and excretions’ (Order of ‘Codification of Official Homeopathic Preparations; Official Journal of France; published on December 29, 1948). Stedman’s Medical Dictionary defines nosode as – ‘An agent administered in minute doses in the treatment of the disease which, in large amount, it causes; an isopathic term, signifying a bacterine or bacterial vaccine’.

Isopathy is the Mother of Nosodes

Isopathic mode of treatment paved the path of nosodes, sarcodes and organotherapy.

Dr. W. Lux (a veterinary surgeon of Leipzig, Germany) in 1833 founded the isopathic mode of treatment; and Dr. Constantine Hering established the idea of organ-therapy

in homeopathy.

Dr. Hahnemann stated about this method of treatment in footnote of aphorism 56 of the fifth edition (Organon of Healing Art) as – ‘A fourth mode of employing medicines in diseases has been attempted to be created by means of Isopathy, as it is called – that is to say, a method of curing a given disease by the same contagious particle that produces it. But even granting this could be done, which would certainly be a valuable discovery, yet, after all, seeing that the virus is given to the patient highly potentized, and thereby, consequently, to a certain degree in an altered condition, the cure is effected only by opposing a simillimum to a simillimum.’

And in the same context in the 6^th edition (Organon of Medicine), he stated – ‘A 3^rd mode of employing medicines in diseases has been attempted to be created by means of Isopathy, as it is called – that is to say, a method of curing a given disease by the same contagious principle that produces it. But even granting this could be done, yet, after all, seeing that the virus is given to the patient highly potentized, and consequently, in an altered condition, the cure is effected only by opposing a simillimum to a simillimum.

To attempt to cure by means of the very same morbific potency (peridem) contradicts all normal human understanding and hence all experience. Those who first brought isopathy to notice, probably thought of the benefit which mankind received from cowpox vaccination by which the vaccinated individual is protected against future cowpox infection and as it were cured in advance. But both, cowpox and smallpox are only similar, in no way the same disease. In many respects they differ, namely in the more rapid course and mildness of cowpox and especially in this, that is never contagious

to man by more nearness.

Universal vaccination put an end to all epidemics of that deadly fearful smallpox to such an extent that the present generation does no longer possess a clear conception of the former frightful smallpox plague. Moreover, in this way, undoubtedly, certain diseases peculiar to animals may give us remedies and thus happily enlarge our stock of homeopathic remedies. But to use a human morbific matter (a Psorin taken from the itch in man) as a remedy for the same itch or for evils arisen there from is–? Nothing can result from this but trouble and aggravation of the disease.’

Dr. Collet had divided isopathic mode of treatment into three categories:

1. Organic Isopathy

2. Sero-therapy

3. Pure Isopathy

This Pure Isopathy founded the concept of nosodes in homeopathy. According to Dr Pierre Schmidt, ‘Application of an alternated dose of a pathogenous product for curing the disease of which it is the result forms the isopathic remedies; and if it is used after having been experimented on a healthy man, it becomes a nosode.’ Many stalwarts (viz., Dr. Burnett, Sevan, Hegro, Keigel, Clarke, etc.) used nosodes in their clinical practice with much success; and their efforts were invaluable, in this regard, to homeopathy.

The findings and methods of isopathy remain to be the mother of nosode and this can never be ignored.

Rules of Prescribing Nosodes:

As the constitutional medicine –that is, when the mental, physical generals and particulars are characteristic

When well-chosen medicine fails to give relief

When there is lack of symptoms – that is, to clear-up the case

‘Never been well since’ symptoms

As a ‘miasmatic intercurrent’ medicine

When there is a partial portrait of the disease and no medicine completely fits to the case

As ‘homeopathic prophylaxis’

As ‘genus epidemicus’

As ‘auto-nosodes’

Contraindications of Prescribing Nosodes

In the active phase of the disease

During the incubation of the disease

In the acute explosive stage of the disease

During the active phase of a recurrent attack

Auto-nosodes, during the acute infectious disease

Below 200c or 30X potency; and should be administered with infrequent repetition

In Greek, the term ‘sarcode’ means fleshy. Sarcodes imply protoplasm of animals as distinguished from vegetable protoplasm. In homeopathy, some of the sarcodes are proved medicines. They are obtained from healthy endocrine or ductless glands or are normal secretions of living human organs and lower animals. The secretions are mostly hormones (Adren./Chol./Fel tauri/Insulinum/Pancreatinum/Pepsinum/Pituitrinum/Thyreoidinum/Vulpis fel

).

In fact, sarcodes belong to the animal kingdom. Sarcodes include products of animal glands and endocrine glands – as a whole and their secretions. Endocrine or ductless glands are those which produce hormones in the body. Hormones are specific substances produced by the endocrine glands of higher animals, which are secreted directly into the blood and are thus carried to all parts of the body, where they regulate many metabolic functions of the organism. They are quick acting and only a minute amount may have a profound effect on metabolism.

Hormones are proteins (Insulin), steroids (Cortisone) or relatively simple organic compounds (like, Adrenalin).

Rules of Prescribing Sarcodes

They respond to sufferings due to deficient functioning as well as the hyper functioning of the particular organ

They are well indicated in cases of malignancy

They are deep acting

Bad effects of intake of milk or milk aggravate

Tendency to overgrowth

Generally prescribed in lower potency

After administration, continuous/regular blood pressure / cardiac monitoring are necessary

Contraindications of Prescribing Sarcodes

They are less proved and organ specific, and their range of actions is limited; hence, they should be used with caution

Not to be prescribed in cardiac patients and pregnant mothers

Never prescribe below 30c and 1X potency

Nosodes and sarcodes are popularly prescribed medicines in today’s world of homeopathy. But no logico-utilitarian repertory laid emphasis on them properly until the publication of Dr. Othon, A. Julian’s ‘Materia Medica of Nosodes with Repertory’ in India (1980). Dictionary of Homoeopathic Materia Medica

The book contains 35 nosodes in the repertory part and in the materia medica part, there are 66 medicines including 10 bowel nosodes. Another less known, but useful repertory ‘A Repertory of Homoeopathic Nosodes and Sarcodes’ by Dr Berkeley Squire of Scotland; published in India in 1997 – containing 105 nosodes, sarcodes and imponderabilia (93 nosodes and sarcodes, 10 bowel nosodes and 2 imponderabilia).

This is the only repertory of nosodes, sarcodes and imponderabilia. Though both these repertorians did not grade the medicines they have their utility in day to day practice. According to John Paterson, ‘The motto of the medical profession is still Tolle Causam, find the cause, and today there are many who consider that germs are the only cause

of disease and are working to discover the specific germ or virus for well known clinical entities.’

Earlier to them, Dr. Constantine Hering was the first stalwart to observe the efficiency of the nosodes in his clinical practice. Since then prescribing nosodes has gained its popularity.

In the recent era where mixed miasmatic and complex diseases are spreading their roots for firm hold, nosodes are the aid. Administration of nosodes becomes inevitable for CURE, when most well selected remedies fail.

[Dr. Constantine Hering]

Asserts that all morbid products of whatever kind exert a powerful influence on the diseases that produce them. He mentions leucorrhoeal matter as being curative of leucorrhoea, gleet matter of gleet, phthisine of phthisis, syphiline of syphilis. He admits that all these isopathic preparations cannot be regarded as absolute specifics, but only

as chronic intermediate remedies, which serve as it were, to stir up the disease and render the reaction to the homoeopathic remedy, subsequently administered, more permanent and effective.

[Dr. H.B.F. Jervis]

Another branch, of homoeopathy, was the so-called Isopathy or isopathic medication dates back to 400 B.C., as taught by Xenocrates. This means the employment of the morbid products of a disease for the cure of the same disease (Aequalia Aequalibus). It was introduced into homoeopathy by Dr. Lux in 1823, and in part adopted by

Dr. Hering. Lux taught that the toxins formed in the body, properly attenuated, are capable of curing the very diseases that give rise to them that is, every disease is supposed to have within itself its own antidote.

In 1830 Hering proposed as a remedy for hydrophobia the saliva of a rabid dog, properly attenuated; the very teaching and practice of Pasteur. He also proposed Phthisine as a remedy for Tb., and forty years later it, too, received popular and scientific endorsement by Koch and others. As early as 1834, Dr. Stapf, one of the greatest of the early Homoeopathists, who looked upon the subject dispassionately, says: "I do not doubt that the discovery of the curative action of the morbid matters, in diseases that produce them, to be one of the most important discoveries that has been made since the beginning of our school“.

The foregoing led me to apply this method in both the treatment and prevention of distemper in the dog, and the results will be found in my little booklet published recently.

The Treatment of Distemper with Potentised Virus, and will be only briefly alluded to in this paper. In order for a veterinarian or layman to treat this disease by this method,

it is imperative that he at least gain in insight into the principles of homoeopathy, and its wonderful philosophy, to get the best results. He must acquaint himself with such things as "potencies" instead of doses; he must learn not to push the remedy too far, giving it ample time to do its work, otherwise he will meet with many dismal failures,

and so forth. In regard to using it prophylactically, if directions are followed to the letter, and always providing that the product is kept undefiled by storing away from crude drugs and not being exposed to strong odors, such as coal-tar antiseptics and so forth, any ordinary layman can immunize his own without any trouble at all.

The general procedure is as follows:

At weaning, the puppies receive for a week one dose daily of the 30^th potency, and nothing more for a month.

At the expiration of a mouth, the puppies receive for a week a daily dose of the 200^th potency, and nothing more for a month.

At the expiration of the month, each puppy receives 3 doses, one at two hourly intervals, of the 1.000^th potency.

After this, at monthly intervals, each puppy receives an increased potency, 3 doses at 2 hourly intervals until he has received one of the C MM strength. This completes the course, and though it may be looked upon as irksome to some, still it is better than shooting them with serum of some kind and losing them all. I am convinced that where

this procedure is carried out, it is possible to raise puppies to maturity without their developing this dread disease. Furthermore, even after this, when one knows that they

are going to be exposed to a, so to speak, concentrated exposure, such as an indoor show or the like, there is nothing to hinder one, a few days prior to this, from giving

3 doses in quick succession of a potency of this product, and in that way pad their immunity a little more.

Another line that is interesting me just now is to give pregnant bitches, irrespective of whether they may have had the disease, or been immunized against it, a course of potencies during their pregnancy, to try and start the immunization of the puppies in utero. This is a peculiar field for homoeopathy. By means of the deeply acting anti-psoric remedies, the lowest strata of perverted life where it first established itself in impurities in the finest fibres and cellular structures, can be restored. Medicines chosen wisely

and given to the expectant bitch, can benefit the coming puppies. Frequently, with the indicated remedy, anatomical and structural deficiencies as cleft palate, hare-lip, eczema, etc., can be prevented in families where such have appeared, because the taint that gave rise to them in former pregnancies has been neutralised by the timely administration of the homoeopathic antipsoric remedies.

Often asked by veterinarians who are absolutely sceptical in regard to homoeopathy, "What on earth has your product to do with the actual virus of canine distemper, or don’t you believe in the existence of such an entity?" Of course I believe and know that there is such an entity, but in just what relation it really stands in connection with the disease itself I am frank to admit that I do not really know, and furthermore, I don’t think anybody else does.

We all agree that it is less the presence of the organism than the suitability of the tissues for its growth that determines the disease. But is this pre-disposition itself the disease be it a condition to be defined electrically, chemically, or whatever and do the organisms result from it, or does the disease require the organisms plus the pre-disposition? Some have occasionally suggested the former view. Whatever the future may disclose we must admit that organisms, and viruses are associated with disease, have recognisable characteristics and can convey disease. At least the evidence available at present points overwhelmingly to these conclusions, and that those who deny them have generally only sight acquaintance with this evidence. We must therefore assume that so-called germs of disease are at least in close relation to disease, and although Medorrhinum, Psorinum, and Distemperinum caninum can be held to owe their efficacy, not to the organisms present in the material from which they were originally made, but to some

unnamed and undefined substance of disease.

[Jiri Cehovsky]

The birth of a new discipline never comes without antecedents. It is formed through the work of many people and the wisdom of generations. In establishing the basic precepts of homeopathy H. drew much from the classical inheritance of the Greek physicians and medieval alchemists, as well as from the extensive European herbalist tradition. Autopathy’s roots also reach far back into the past. The therapeutic holistic effects of a person’s own urine, for example, were known in India long ago and were widely used in Ayurveda. European folk healers recommended a person’s own urine in closing wounds. Healing by means of human secretions, however, only assumed its proper and most effective form when some American homeopaths in the 19^th century began to use potentised, highly diluted human secretions on the principle of oequalia oequalibus curantur, like cures like. They referred to this as isopathy and proceeded overwhelmingly from the opinion influenced by common medical practice, which focuses on diagnosis and the cure of localised illnesses.

Adolph Lippe, in an article in The Homeopathic Physician (April 1884, p.83) refers to his colleague Lux, who said that “In accordance with this principle, all contagious diseases carry with them in the shape of their infectious matter their curative remedy.” They potentised the diseased secretions, for example in the case of epidemics, and

then administered them to patients with the same illness. Obviously, this bears a certain resemblance to vaccination. They called the process “isopathy”.

Today, isopathy is used to treat, among other things, people whose health has suffered as a result of a certain type of vaccination. They are given the same vaccine, but

this time homeopathically diluted. The potentised poison of a viper can be used isopathically to treat a viper’s bite. Nevertheless, this understanding of isopathy has some drawbacks - it ignores certain central aspects of homeopathy, primarily its holistic concept. And it goes against what H. said about Homeopathy: that it is treatment on the principle of “like cures like”. Isopathy thus ceases to be homeopathy. Opinions on this matter, however, varied. In The Medical Advance, volume XXXII, no. 2, 1894, p. 59, J.H. Allen, Indiana wrote: “I will give proof that I think will be fully convincing to most minds that so called Isopathy is but the highest phase of similia in the highest sense.”

The medications created on the basis of this philosophy were called nosodes. One of these nosodes, originally used to treat innate dispositions to cancer and to relieve pain caused by cancer was Carcinosin, which was prepared by J.T. Kent. Its holistic picture was discovered fifty years later.

Only in the 20^th century do we find the first instances of homeopaths daring to administer a potentised preparation to the same person from whom the pathological material was obtained.

The classical French homeopath Julian has left a record of this in his book Nosodes. He writes that he was on holiday when he was called to treat a man with very bad herpes and found himself (as he explains apologetically) without any remedies. “The herpes was on the left side of the face. Blisters and ulcers had spread to his forehead, face,

cheek and upper lip; the mucous membrane of his left nostril and the upper part of the roof of the mouth had also been affected, as had a swollen left eye-lid with blisters and swollen conjunctiva.” He had a temperature of 38.80 C and a quickened pulse. He suffered from insomnia, vomiting and strong headaches.” Dr. Julian prepared an isopathicum from the discharge from an ulcer on the roof of his mouth. He diluted this in water to the sixth centesimal, or very low, potency, and mixed the final dilution with spirits. He then administered this preparation from the beginning every half hour. To begin with the pain increased, but on the second day it fell markedly, the vomiting passed and the patient was able to sleep properly again. By the second day the herpes had already reduced by a half and the swelling had disappeared. Within a few days all that was left were some healthily falling scabs.

Nevertheless, I should say that references to isopathy or even auto-isopathy (treatment of the same person from whom the material was obtained) are extremely rare in homeopathic literature.

In my computer I have the Reference Works homeopathic programme, which contains about one hundred materia medica and repertories, some of them ten volumes long,

plus ten thousand pages of articles from specialist magazines, yet if I use the search engine to find these and related words from among the entire volume of the literature

it only comes up with a few, very brief references.

The example cited above is the only well-described case of auto-isopathic treatment that I have been able to find in the vast library of Reference Works. And this was not

even a holistic treatment.

Of particular interest is the reference by the French doctor Bon Hoa in an article on Carcinosin in the British Homoeopathic Journal. His note is a single sentence, a brevity quite typical for this subject: “Some patients who have responded to Carcinosin but whose improvement only lasted a short time have derived benefit from auto-isopathy.

I give a single dose of Pharyngeal Mucus 30 CH.”

A sentence that, if we think about it, merits expanding into a thick and sizeable book that could bring much relief to the sick. It points out that potentised, ordinary, non-pathological phlegm from the same person can have a holistic effect on the health of most people that use it. It is, however, just a fragmentary reference and there is nothing more on this method in the article.

This and similar references nevertheless arouse one’s curiosity and thus, some years ago, I began to look into the subject more deeply. For example, in an old catalogue from

the London Ainsworth Pharmacy I found an offer to produce a high potency of a person’s own blood or other bodily fluids. When I asked if they could give me these potencies they replied that they cannot to continue this line. They did not explain why. One of the pharmacy’s employees did, however, inform me that they had produced these preparations and they had many years’ experience with them, particularly with animals. And that for such a treatment it was necessary to go up to a very high potency. He wrote to me: “the higher the better.” That such treatment is regularly practised on animals in England is testified to by the reference (again brief) in Dr. MacLeod’s Veterinary Homeopathy (C.W. Daniel, 2000).

The result of these researches was the discovery that auto-isopathy is a sort of 13^th chamber of homeopathy. And there followed an irrevocable decision - to continue in this line. To gather information and experience. To take steps to make it possible to potentise a person’s own fluids, these being healthy, normal saliva (without abnormal admixtures of pathogenic bacteria or viruses ) which are undoubtedly “…the highest phase of similia in the highest sense” and carry detailed information of the state of the whole organism. As was to be shown later, they really are capable of being most precisely tuned to the frequency of the fine-matter creative centre (the dynamis) inside the person of which they are the material product. Elevated by potentisation in pure water into homeopathic dilution, the fine-matter form, they can, using a precise resonance, cause the sick person’s enfeebled fine-matter creative sphere to reverberate again in its original frequency and bring about a return to the organism’s original structure, to health. It is no longer a matter of the highest and nearest similarity of the healing product, but directly of sameness. Of the nearest frequency structure that may occur in nature.

The closest similarity is sameness.

Why “autopathy”?

Why I call it “autopathy” and not “isopathy”, or “auto-isopathy”. The term comes from the British Homoeopathic Library’s list of professional terms published on its website, where autopathy is mentioned as one of the terms under auto-isopathy. As is evident above, the word isopathy is closely related to the treatment of localised pathology. The exudation of a certain illness cures this illness. Isopathy has thus historically not claimed to be a holistic form of treatment. My method, however, deals exclusively with a holistic approach, in the spirit of Hahnemann’s phrase: I don’t cure the illness, but the person. That’s why I’ve chosen a term that is not encumbered by this “pathological” consideration. And because it’s new, neither is it encumbered by a mass of other prejudices that sometimes originated in homeopathy as part of the numerous “schools” and approaches. Autopathy, enriched from different sources, is continuation of homeopathy by other means. I understand it primarily as

a spiritual discipline, an individual journey to connect with the higher levels of the universe. Improving the organisational function of the individual higher creative sphere leads necessarily to an improvement in the person’s entire hierarchical spiritual system, throughout his physical body and onwards. Autopathy is a means by which to establish overall harmony, not only cure symptoms of diseases. It’s a gradual homeopathic journey to a state of higher understanding and happiness.

How to obtain an autopathic preparation?

In order to practise autopathy we need an autopathic preparation. Once we have this we can gain experience, experiment and above all cure. At present only a few production facilities exist in Europe that are able to prepare an autopathic preparation from a person’s own bodily fluid. The technology of potentising a patient’s bodily fluids in such a facility would anyway raise certain problems. The fluid has to be transported across large distances and mixed with spirits in order to prevent it “spoiling” during the journey - the effect of bacteria on its frequency structure, which is the imprint of the entire organism’s frequency structure. This obviously comes at a price, with the fluid’s qualities anyway being altered through the admixture of alcohol. It’s known that a spirit has its own homeopathic (frequency) pattern, which anyone who has ever drunk too much

is well aware of. A mixture of two patterns is thus created which is only similar, not the same. We could say the same about mixing with sugar.

In a pharmacy, or more precisely a pharmaceutical production point, the fluid mixed with a spirit is potentised in dilution machines, which are usually powered by electricity when shaking the flask.

This means that a magnetic field is created during production which may also influence the preparation’s frequency qualities. As a result, it may be that the subsequent preparation is only “similar”, or a similimum, partly resonating but not the “same”, not fully resonating. The pharmaceutical production process makes it wholly impossible

to produce a medicine for acute needs, quickly and for immediate use. For example, in the case of an acute illness or sudden relapse, i.e., if a prior dose suddenly ceases

to have effect.

This means that a person currently has practically no opportunity to use an autopathic preparation, or at least to try one. My first thought, therefore, when I discovered that there was something in autopathy, was somehow to organise the means for the quick and straightforward production of a high potency directly in the home, and to bypass

the laboratory entirely. I first studied the history of potentising, of which I obviously already had some knowledge. I found a wealth of detail on the subject in Julian Winston’s excellent history of homeopathy (Faces of Homeopathy, Great Auk Publishing, 1999).

My attention turned to the work of Dr. Bernhardt Maxmillian Fincke (1821 -1906) from New York. He first achieved a potency of 6 C or 30 C by diluting in spirit, then,

in his own laboratory, introduced water from the New York water system! into the flask with spirit potency of 30 C and allowed it to flow very slowly through for varying periods, an hour or a day or several days. On those days, the water from the water system evidently did not contain chemical admixtures. In this way he achieved dilutions comparable with H.’s 1M (one thousand potency) 10M, 50M, CM.

J.T. Kent was one of many to use Fincke’s medicines, and wrote about them that they act quickly, lastingly and deeply. Indeed, so highly was Fincke regarded for his work concerning the flux production of potentised preparations that in 1896 he was elected president of the International Hahnemann Association. Over time, however, his efforts have largely been forgotten and many contemporary practitioners do not even know his name. Nevertheless, the flux method is still sometime used to prepare medicines today, including in the laboratories of well-known producers.

The experience of many generations of homeopaths, together with my own practice, has made me realise that the last procedure is the most inspiring in search for the reliable preparation of autopathic medicines in the home.

Bodily fluids

Why do I regard saliva as the ideal material for dilution? It’s a very special liquid, which contains perfect information on the whole individual organism. That’s why, along with blood, it’s used in forensic medicine to identify people. But whereas after leaving the vascular system blood immediately alters its structure saliva never does. Unlike urine, saliva does not contain any “dead” particles and can leave the body entirely fresh just instants after being formed in the mouth. And above all, saliva forms high up in a person’s fine-matter energy system, in the area between the fifth and sixth chakras. The system of fine-matter energy centres, the chakra, has been understood in India, Tibet and China since time immemorial. In Europe, however, this knowledge only arrived fairly recently, and it wasn’t until the second half of the 20th century that it entered general consciousness. While the lower chakras connect us to the earth and with those parts of nature at a lower level than humankind the higher chakras connect us with the more elevated states of the Universe. This is precisely where we find the fine-matter organisation system that is responsible for our health, and which we want to influence. Saliva, forming high in the system between the throat chakra and the chakra of the third eye and being most similarly tuned, has the greatest capacity to resonate with these higher states.

- The autopathic method provides the hitherto entirely unknown possibility of a sort of gradual multiplication of the preparation’s effect. Through the preparation we improve the frequency of the organism as a whole, return it in stages to a state of better health, and, from the basis of this healthier organism, can then create new preparations which strengthen the non-material creative sphere.

Dear readers

I wanna make some notes for readers about lacks of real data concerning Isopathy as follow below:

Autoisopathic methodology in reality it had been used by the first in accordance with modern medical literatura by an french monk in the end of 19th century in ancient Palestine, as reported by Dr. Max Tetau, MD from Paris, France.

Otherwise late Prof. Dr. Roberto de Andrade Costa, MD, brazilian immunologist developed by the method he called Alive Nosode with dilutions and dinamizations of pathogenic agents in 29 DH low and 1260 higher DH potencies, in accordance with each specific case, and used also this same method with basis in autoisopathic treatment for his Aids patients using samples of blood of such patients in absence of Aids virus not provided by medical labs and neither authorities in the early 80 last century when

he made his advanced medical researches in his home lab.in Petropoliis, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

When he obtained his first top results with this therapeutical methodology published later in his best seller sold out book:

Homeopatia TRI-UNA-Escola Brasileira (Triple Homeopathy-Brazilian School)where he with courage without any support published such results with medical labs reports printed for readers and brazilian medical community be informed about such real results and now consagrated in South America & Europe by the medical homeopathic community.

Later in the last decade of 20^th century Dr. Anna Kosac Romanach, MD, retired brazilian top professor of Clinical Homeopathy published her book ISOPATIA (Isopathy)

on sale yet in brazilian edition, with further and fantastics results about this medical methodology with several results and study cases as well…

With further medical pictures taken by the author and printed in her top medical book to illustrate each case in special as well..

Hope readers have a better and realistic overview about the Isopathy as a valid medical therapy associated to the homeopathy nowadays..

A proving of human saliva would not contribute to autopathy as everybody has his/her own saliva which has slightly different picture. Everybody´s vibration pattern

(an inner melody) is an original. Therefore I recommend to use allways the saliva of the person which is to be influenced. Than the resonance effect is the strongest and you

can see results. As you can find in the book, every potentised bodily fluid and even your own potentised breath can induce resonance upon vital force and therefore heal, read http://www.autopathy.info/

Homeopathic resonance (if it is really a resonance and not a suppression induced by a wrong medicine) brings always a positive influence upon organism and there is no need to antidote it. But you can do it by means of allopathic drugs or by homeopathic remedies selected only by chance etc. Autopathy cannot suppress.

Jiri Cehovsky April 5, 2010

Hello Alka,

As to your question concerning the case of the dog: The saliva nosode was in too low potency (12 C). In cancer cases I start with 40C or 80C potency daily, usually in combination with Carcinosinum 200 and with a specific remedy , for the spleen it could be CEANOTHUS AMERICANUS (according to Ramakrishnan).

Autopathy can work beautifully in cases of commonly spread chronic (incurable through use of conventional methods) health problems. In the relatively short history of existence of this method, the cases of successful treatment and self-treatment are perhaps already running into thousands, as I’ve been finding not only from my clients, but also at conferences on Autopathy and from correspondence. Nevertheless, sometimes the treatment progresses fast, at other times it is slow. Why are there such differences?

A slow or complicated development towards regaining one’s health always means that there are obstacles in the way of treatment, as is well known in homoeopathy, of which autopathy is one of the branches. It is essential to identify these obstacles and remove them. The cause of slow or complicated development could for instance be too low pH levels of the organism, which could be the result of smoking, inappropriate food, medication or unsettled circumstances in one’s life. This can be remedied and the acids can

be secreted from the body, which I have dealt with in one of the chapters of Get Well with Autopathy, in the third updated edition, and I also advise my clients accordingly. However, I have had cases that were developing splendidly at first, but things went wrong, while trying to influence the pH made no difference, and it was necessary to find out why it has happened. Here is one such case:

Parasites are the obstacle

Let’s look now at the mental processes that lead me to this solution. This is not the only case I currently have that had run into an obstacle. There were a few, previously successful, but where positive development somehow came to a halt. It was necessary to identify the obstacle in treatment. I had thus begun to study the resources on the Internet, and returned to the useful books, which I have already read.

1. Cancer is a Fungus by the oncologist Dr. Simoncini of Roma. After 15 years of successful treatment of cancer, he maintains that in all the tumours, without an exception,

the parasitical fungus candida was present. When he kills it through infusion of soda bicarbonate into the tumour (yeasts do not like an alcalic (alkaline) environment), the tumour quickly disappears - www.cancerfungus.com. It is estimated that up to 90% of people, men or women, suffer from candidiasis that to a various degree inhabits the organism. From Candida or from mycotoxins that it releases into the body, according to the American authors of the book Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook (Dr. Z.P. Rony /J.M. Martin), apart from vaginal discharges, could be added such things as prostatitis, vaginitis, endometriosis, allergy, cancer, insomnia, tiredness, dandruff, acne, premature greying and loss of hair, depression, impotency, sore throat, cough, stomach ache and headache. Those afflicted crave sugar, alcohol and bread - candida thrives on fermentation of sugars and it has its demands. Other symptoms include flatulence and digestive disorders, autism, hyperactivity, eczema, sweatiness and deformity of fingernails, including inflammation of nail matrix and agnail, thyroid gland disorders and many other problems. Candida has an amazing ability to colonise and completely subjugate a person, including his or her mind. From the intestines it penetrates the whole organism (not only the vagina and the mouth) and it forms colonies that are interconnected. It takes control of its host, who could then think only of snacking on something sweet. It relishes in acid forming activities such as smoking, drinking alcohol, driving cars, quarrelling, watching adrenaline heavy television shows etc. as candida needs the acid pH in the organism of its host. Once it colonises a person it is extremely difficult to get rid of through use of medication only, and usually it cannot be done.

2. Nitro cellular parasite Chlamydia, its most dangerous form being chlamydia pneumoniae. According to some estimates, a large percentage of the European population is infected (for instance, amongst the farmers it might be up to 70%, while up to 90% of the population show at some stage in their lives symptoms of infection by Chlamydia, which usually are never completely got rid of). Chlamydia pneumoniae has its base in the respiratory system; it spreads through air by droplets, like an ordinary flu. Once it gets into the body it is very difficult to dispose of through conventional methods. Antibiotics might restrict its occurrence in the short run, but one cannot keep taking strong antibiotics of the tetracycline order throughout life. The moment they stopped, it comes back in the same strength or even stronger than before; antibiotics only destroy it in some of its developmental stages. It has only got to within the perceptual range of scientists in recent times and many medical doctors regard its activity in the body as one

of the main causes of arteriosclerosis - hardening of the arteries (the main cause of death in the so called developed countries), heart attack, multiple sclerosis and generally

of most autoimmune diseases, beside pneumonias, inflammation of joints, diabetes, Alzheimer disease, Crohn disease, high blood pressure and others.

How does this clever organism with the characteristics of both a virus and bacteria achieve this? It simply crawls into the cells of the host’s organism, the nerve cells, arterial cells or others and begins to parasitize. Tests for this parasite are made on phlegm within the respiratory system. With some individuals the infection might not manifest at

all and symptoms, weak or strong, could only appear after many years, when the individual is weakened. Sometimes the most serious autoimmune reactions might break out - the immune system attacks its own infected cells and tries to liquidate them. Thus an autoimmune jaundice, for instance, might develop. Hopes for cure by orthodox methods, as my client was told, are apparently zero.

3. Toxoplasmosis, another highly underestimated parasitical organism, which in Germany and France infects about 80% of the population; in the Czech Republic about 30%. Its main host are the felines, including domestic cats. They form a symbiosis and get along well. Toxoplasmosis reproduces in the cat, and through the faeces it gets into the food of mammals, including man. Its main target in our environment are the rodents. They form cysts in the new host, often in the brain, which are full of tiny sporozoans. Until recently it was assumed that infection by toxoplasmosis does not cause any great damage, with the exception of pregnant women and some rare, not too serious symptoms. According to new researche (for instance by Prof. H. Flägr from the Charles University), it can manipulate masterly the host’s behaviour. The mouse becomes adventurous and incautious, and so it can easily become the cat’s prey. It came out that people who are infected are several times more likely to cause traffic accidents

(through their excessive bravery and inattention). It also turned out that toxoplasmosis can cause schizophrenia (see the case of autopathy further in the text). The scientists assume that the parasite remains with its host until the time of death (in case of the devoured mouse, it returns home).

Thus we do have 90% of people with candida, 40-90% with chlamydia and 30% with toxoplasmosis, altogether nearly 100 % of population.

Isopathy and autoisopathy

Now let’s get back to homoeopathy and autopathy. It is obvious that this new epidemic (or pandemic) of parasites from a homoeopathic point of view is only another form of miasma, weakening of fine-matter vital force, which ceases to give our contemporaries the natural protection against these types of diseases. This can be corrected through use of a remedy of high potency. There is an interesting book by a Canadian homoeopath, which in the professional circles became a true bestseller, Louis Klein’s: Miasms and Nosodes. The author describes how nosodes, homoeopathic preparations made from pathological materials, can treat the very diseases from which they have been made. For instance Bacillinum, prepared by homoeopathic dilution of human sputum that contains germs of tuberculosis have cured many cases of tuberculosis. This is called isopathy. The cause of the disease, homoeopathically prepared, cures the very same disease. Klein also defines a new conception, “parasitic miasma”.

Nosodes nevertheless often would not work in a straight forward way, often it is necessary to use the whole picture and complicated techniques of homoeopathic analysis, which is what the book is about. About two years ago, together with some of my students, I had experimented with the use of homoeopathic Candida albicans with women having yeast-like discharges - it never worked. It cannot be this simple. Why had it not worked? Because a parasite can very adroitly adapt itself to the fine vibrational field of any host. That is its basic ability. Therefore the immune system of a human cannot recognise it, mark it as intruder and destroy it. As there are seven billion people, there are also almost seven billion individually formed Candidas, Toxoplasmos or Chlamydias. There are even scientific theories, formed mainly by medical doctors and microbiologists, concerning the so-called pleomorphism (Dr. von Brehmer). Some micro-organisms, according to some well-known scientists, can change from one into the other, while their embryos (the so-called bionts) are components of the human blood. (Prof. Dr. Enderlein, Dr. Reich, it is mentioned even in the book Bowel Nosodes by Dr. R. Malcolm).

Every parasite is highly individually adapted to its host. Every Chlamydia has a slightly different, individual, vibrational field, depending on its host. On top of this, every person has his or her own mixture of these parasites there are different types of both Candida and Chlamydia, and their rates vary from person to person.

A homoeopathic preparation therefore has to be made individually.

However, when you make an autopathic preparation from the vibrations of a live parasite, contained for instance in the saliva, it is ineffective and it will not harm it, even though the preparation would deal with many other problems. It is necessary to learn from the preparation of homoeopathic nosodes. Traditionally, the biological matter is

first mixed with alcohol, which kills all micro-organisms. This is another principle that homoeopaths have discovered - information contained in a homoeopathic potency

about death of some organisms is a warning to other organisms of the same kind: this is a hostile, dangerous territory, unsuited to life and further breeding. I will give you some examples. As I’ve been teaching homeopathy and lately also autopathy for twenty years, I’d met with many students and discussed with them their personal experiences. Thus I found out that one lady, who was allergic to insect bites and was often attacked by insects, overcame the problem by hanging a vial with the potency made of the dead queen of the bees (Apis regina). From then on insects left her alone. Another student of the Homeopathic Academy told me that he had problems with the gold bug on his farm.

He killed one and pulverised it and put it into water, which he poured into the spraying device used on the field. The gold bug disappeared from that field, while it was still rampant elsewhere.

Another student of homeopathy told me how by burning a snail and putting the ashes into the watering can she saved her crop from invasion by the snails. Another case of this principle is the remedy Carcinosin, made up from the clear emission from the open breast tumour (?). Indirectly it confirms the theories of the oncologist Simoncini: The discharge contained Candida, which consequently was mixed with alcohol and made into a potency. Nowadays this nosode is one of the most useful homeopathic remedies for cancer, as well as for candiasis. Also, the well proven Bacilinum (for all the other nosodes) - first the bacteria of tuberculosis were killed by alcohol, made into potency, bringing about many cures.

Sterilisation of substance

Thus a conclusion of these complicated speculations would be: When there is a suspicion that a parasite might be the obstacle to treatment, the patient’s saliva must first be sterilised and only after that it can be diluted or made into potency to be used. An individually prepared nosode is the best way of getting rid of the parasite, as will be corroborated by some of the cases I will present. Sterilisation nevertheless might not be only through the traditional use of alcohol. It has its disadvantages in introducing extraneous information about an allochtonous substance - alcohol. The ability of the remedy to resonate with the vital energy of the patient is then somewhat reduced. Would it not be better to sterilise through boiling? No other information would then enter the remedy. On top of this, an undisturbed information about the person’s vibrations would remain, (the well known Russian homeopath Dr. Lupicev says that the potency even gains strength by boiling). The autopathic bottle is made of borosilicate glass and cannot by broken by heating. Therefore I have begun to also use this method, even more frequently than the first one. During this time the method of preparation with boiling proved more effective.

[Elaine Lewis]

Isopathy - Treating disease with the substance that caused the disease.

If people have a fixed idea against isopathy, they’re going to fail in a lot of cases, especially acute cases, where the causal agent is known.

I had a client whose chief complaint was horrible itching. We narrowed it down to her prescription of Welbutrin, an antidepressant. She had stopped taking it but the itching continued. She told me that people had dropped out of the Welbutrin trials in droves because of the itching! I start taking her case, but it didn’t add up to any remedy, that was what made me realize that her remedy was, in fact, potentized Welbutrin! I made a powder out of a Welbutrin tablet, I poured it into a small amount of water, swished it around , then added it to half a small bottle of spring water, succussed 40x, poured it out, refilled to the starting point and succussed 40x and repeated this procedure 12x, then I told her to take a sip. She only took the one dose. The next day she told me the itching was tolerable and she didn’t have to scratch. A day later, it was gone!

So, people, when you know the cause, and the case-taking doesn’t add up to a remedy, make a remedy from the causal agent. And that’s my tip for the day.

[Tinus Smits, MD Autism Beyond Despair †27-4-2010]

The key to the healing of autism with homeopathy is not the classical homeopathic approach, but Isotherapy, using a homoepathic remedy made from a safe preparation of the toxic causative agent.

[Dr Divya PP]

Nosode is derived from Noso (Greek) that signifies the ‘disease products’

‘Nosodotherapy’ – therapeutic use of organic reactional wastes or some ætiological factors which are the source of the ‘damage’ to the disease.

The term ‘Nosode’ has no legal existence in France & Germany and has been replaced by the term BIOTHERAPY

· Dr. Pierre Schmidt explained nosodes as ‘an Isopathic Remedy’. According to him, “If it is applied after having been tested on a healthy man, it becomes a nosode”. Actually, many of the nosodes do not possess this quality.

· Dr. Constantine Hering was the first stalwart to observe the efficiency of the nosodes in his clinical practice. Since then, prescribing nosodes has gained its popularity.

Indications to prescribe Nosodes:

· As a Constitutional Medicine – i.e. when the mental, physical generals and particulars are characteristics.

· When well chosen remedies fail to give relief.

· When there is a lack of symptoms – i.e. to clear-up the case.

· “Never been well since” symptoms.

· As “Miasmatic intercurrent” medicine.

· When there is a partial portrait of the disease and no medicine completely fits the case.

· As “Homœopathic Prophylaxis”.

· As “Genus Epidemicus”.

· As an “Auto-nosodes”.

Contra-indications to prescribe Nosodes:

· In Active Phase of the Disease.

· During the Incubation of the Disease.

· In the Acute Explosive Stage of the Disease.

· During the Active Phase of a Recurrent Attack.

· Auto-nosodes, during the acute infectious disease.

· Below 200c or 30x Potency; and should be administered in Infrequent Repetition.

PART III – Repertory Index

3 parts

· List of Remedies with abbreviations – 33 nosodes.

· Introduction – written by Ratnakar V. Patwardhan

· Index – in alphabetical order, from Abdomen to Zoster (Herpes) Zosterian

Introduction

· Dr. Ratnakar and his team had attempted to pick out Key-words from the ‘Materia Medica of Nosodes’ of Dr. OA Julian——-arranged them alphabetically like rubrics and under them grouped all the nosodes.

· ‘Key-words’ – all the words which individually or in a group or in a sentence, constitute meaningful homœopathic information for a prescriber.  

· Although this book is structurally similar to a repertory, it does not really constitute a repertory. Dr. Ratnakar said it is a ‘Word Index of Nosodes’.

· Dr. Ratnakar named the rubric as ‘Card’.

· The repertory index can never be used independently. Has to be used with the original work (MM) to confirm the medicine before prescribing.

· Only the available drugs have been included. Medicines which are not available now-a-days, have been dropped [e.g. Marmorek, Flavus etc.]

· When searching for any rubric, its advantageous to look for other words relating to the root word. Eg. Sleeplessness —- also look under Sleep

· Anything that is spelt in a similar way has been put together. Eg. Noise & Noisy

· Alphabetical anomaly: Eg. Rubric Lips will appear before Lipoma.

· Under ‘Time’ rubric, “all the medicines which have symptoms or aggravation and ameliorations occurring at a particular time are grouped”. There are no particular divisions of time; ‘Time’ is a general rubric.

· Unfamiliar expressions of OA Julian:

Not (Negative)/Non –non reposing sleep

Pollakuria – frequent urination

Cystalgia – bladder pain

Peri-buccal – around mouth

Retroauricullar – behind the ear

Hygrometric and meterological – Weather/season

· Medicines having the same action and more or less same source have been grouped together under one name.

Putrescinum & Pyrogeninum under Pyrogenium

Tuberculinum TK, TR & VAB (ex-BCG) under Tuberculinum

Variolinum & Vaccinotoxicum under Variolinum (VAR)

Ourlianum (nosode from saliva of mumps patients) under Variolinum

· Exact meaning of certain words cannot be confirmed as the word cant be found in the dictionaries.

Hydrolipopexia

Lipopexia – accumulation of fat in the tissue

Dysthermia or Disthermia

· “Pain” rubric contains few remedies bcz only when the pain is very specific it has been included in this rubric.

· Thanks to his friend Shri Mohan Shankar Dandge for helping in compilation of this book.

REPERTORY INDEX:

· Rubrics (Bold roman) are arranged alphabetically starting from‘Abdomen’ to ‘Zoster (Herpes) Zosterian’.

· No subrubrics.

· Medicines are not graded. 

· Cross-references are given where needed.

Eg. Constitution (See Diathesis) – Carc

Contused (See Injury) – Prot

Obesity (See Fat) – Var

Nonchalance (See Indifference) – Diph

Some rubrics:

· Aching – Syph

· Adrenal glands – Baci

· Aetiology/Etiology – Baci

· Awkward – Syph

· Bradycardia (Slow pulse)- Paratyph

· Cholesterolemia – Streptococ

· Lichen Planus – Syph

· Sepia-Symptoms – B.Mut (b)

· Zoster (Herpes) Zosterian – Var

MERITS:

· Until the publication of this ‘word-index’ in 1980 in India, no repertory had laid strong emphasis on the nosodes.

· It is an alphabetical repertory; thus, making the search for rubrics easy.
