Isopathie
Another branch, so to speak, of homoeopathy,
was the so-called Isopathy, or isopathic medication, which 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
tuberculosis, 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 30th potency, and nothing more for a month.
At the expiration of a mouth, the puppies
receive for a week a daily dose of the 200th 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 1.000th potency.
After this, at monthly intervals, each puppy
receives an increased potency, 3 doses at two 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 three 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 un-named and
un-defined substance of disease.
[Jiri Cehovsky]
The author, a homeopath of 20 years, has
developed a healing method that uses the patient’s own potentized saliva for
healing. He has termed this method autopathy and describes it’s method, results
and potential.
History
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
Hahnemann 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 nineteenth 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. For example, the well-known homeopath and
author of the materia medica, 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 others,
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 Hahnemann 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, the well-known homeopathic doctor J.H. Allen from 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 20th 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 6th C = a 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 for 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 thirteenth 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”?
I should explain 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, however, 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
Hahnemann’s 1M (one thousand potency) 10M (ten thousand potency), 50M (fifty
thousand potency), CM (one hundred thousand potency).
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.
Autopathic Bottle
I have designed a special instrument for
personal preparation. I was inspired by the principle of fluxdilutions, which
were successfully proven by Dr. Fincke. I call it an “Autopathic bottle”.
It’s appropriate for the simple and reliable
production in the home of all potencies. It has a funnel, a connecting tube to
the vortex chamber and waste tube from which the diluted liquid is drained. It
is compact and made from chemically stable laboratory glass. The vortex chamber
in the lower section causes the optimal whirling of the liquid at constant
pressure and its gradual vortex dilution. The autopathic bottle represents an
uncomplicated means of producing the preparation’s highest quality. Among other reasons also
because there are no interruptions that might negatively affect the process and
also because of the special quality of the vortex in the spherical vortex chamber.
The “Autopathic bottle” is produced in a
glass-works under special conditions during the production and packaging
process.
It’s sufficient to follow the enclosed
instructions of the user guide, unwrap the Autopathic bottle, spit into the
funnel, pour through a litre of water or more and the job’s done. From one
litre of water you can expect to produce a
40 C potency in app. twenty five
seconds, 80 C from two litres and so on. If you place it under a current of
water flowing from the water mains through an ordinary kitchen carbon filter
(to remove chlorine from the water) it will produce 100 C every minute. 1000 C (1M) can be
achieved in 10 minutes, 10 000 C (10M) in 1 hour 40 minutes. Any clean drinking
water without chemical additives can be used, for instance water from a well.
Following this procedure you can allow the water to flow over the upper part of
the funnel.
Autopathic Bottle
We don’t usually begin with a high potency over
1M, we commonly reach that potency over time. I currently have several cases
exceeding 1M, as well as cases
progressing excellently on 6M and even 10M, and a certain doctor has written
informing me that he is already using 10M. The Autopathic bottle is accompanied
by detailed but straightforward instructions on its use. All the cases
described in this article and nearly all my clients have employed the services
of the Autopathic bottle. I found the
vortex flux dilution the most efficient in comparisson with other methods of
preparation. The positive reaction achieved after a single use of the
autopathic bottle lasted in most cases
for more than three months, even at lower potencies produced from just one
litre of water. In some cases they lasted for more than one year. The
Autopathic bottle is designed to be used
only once or for a limited period of time only in order to avoid the
possibility of cross contamination from the memory of the glass, which can
retain the previous potency even after removing the drops. The production of
homeopathic remedies has shown that new glass should always be used.
- For the first time in history it offers
everyone the possibility, through its simplicity and accessibility, of the
uncomplicated and at the same time reliable and standard production of their
own, highly potentised saliva at home.
- Following this procedure the saliva is placed
in a dilution vessel as it is, entirely fresh, and can immediately be potentised
using clean water in its original vibration structure, i.e., before its
structure began to change. The change in structure takes a matter of minutes. Water is the only known substance in
nature that does not pass on any of its own specific information (unlike sugar
or spirits, for example, used traditionally in homeopathy) to the preparation
and subsequently the organism, and which does not have any homeopathic effect
of its own. It is quite simply the perfect carrier.
- To this feature you can now add the
unprecedented possibility of using the potentised preparation immediately after
its production, unmixed with another homeopathically active substance (spirits,
sugar) and not exposed to any of the long-term effects of the various types of
radiation that exist in our civilisation (radio waves, electro-smog etc.) and
which are more intense during transport etc. The patient uses the potentised
frequency pattern in its completely unaltered, original form.
- The flux vortex preparation in the autopathic
bottle is also far quicker than other methods, capable of achieving high
potencies in minutes. This is responsible for another advantage: at the time of
using the preparation, the organism’s vibration state, which is constantly
changing, is still practically the same as it was when the saliva was removed.
The resonance is therefore stronger than was possible ever before.
- For the first time, you can produce the
preparation, in almost any circumstances, whenever the need arises.
- 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.
I
have cases where a higher potency made in Autopathic Bottle was used only once
for a long period of time with perfect effect – cured Crohn disease (3 years to
the second repetition of potency), Psoriasis (4 years) etc. Only one bottle was
used only once. But it is useful very often “ …to repeat a potentised
preparation frequently, at regular intervals, and especially for serious pathologies.
It involves regularly repeating a certain potency and only occasionally
increasing it and then only very finely. Example: A client whose vitality
corresponds to a potency of 120 C. I recommend her to prepare a preparation in
this potency, but, after preparing it, instead of throwing the bottle away to
put it back in the plastic bag and in the box. Once a week she should repeat
the preparation in the same potency using the same bottle and wait for further
instructions, for example for three months. Before storing the bottle she
should shake it slightly so that not too much water remains inside. If she
continues to repeat the preparation in this fashion she should exchange the
bottle for a new one after three months. Generally, if the preparation is made
frequently in the same bottle, after three months at the latest, it is
necessary to replace the used bottle with a new one. Taken into account has to
be the “memory of the glass” and that the “vibration picture” of our organism
after a longer time gradually changes. When we mix the old picture with the new
one, the “mixture of potencies” that was produced repeatedly in the same bottle
loses gradually the similarity with the current state and with it also its
effect that finally disappears. “
But in the book there is a description how to prepare a potency of
saliva also in any clean bottle (and how to clean the bottle) using Korsakoff
principle. These lower potencies are useful namely in emergency while in
treatment of chronic diseases (where higher potencies are used) it is necessary
to apply a flux dilution in the AB.
It is really useful to read the book Autopathy: A Homeopathic Journey to
Harmony where many such questions are answered.

Autopathic Detoxication – Part II
Part 2 of Jiri Cehovsky’s article on the use of
potentized saliva in healing. Numerous cured cases are described. Part 1 is
found here http://hpathy.com/homeopathy-papers/autopathic-detoxication/
The continuing practice of using the patient’s
own sterilised saliva made into potency, had clearly shown this: When the
substance is sterilised through boiling (
http://hpathy.com/homeopathy-papers/autopathic-detoxication/2/) and no other
extraneous information has been added, as is the case when we sterilise with
alcohol, the results appear to be more dependable (I’m tempted here to say
directly “dependable”). Sterilisation with alcohol had sometimes brought
results, at other times it had not. Here is one of such cases:
The patient is a woman, thirty years old. She has had severe acne for 15 years, which
started in puberty. A dermatologist recently advised her to take a hormonal
contraceptive medication, but she told him that she has been taking such
medication for years, without any results. Otherwise she is healthy, except for
an occasional backache. She used to suffer from Chlamydia, which prevented her
from becoming pregnant. However, presently she is expecting a child.
My advice: Mix the morning saliva with vodka
and make it into potency with 1 litre of water in the autopathic bottle. Apply
once a day for 6 days, and after this, dilute with three litres once a week.
Follow up in two months: The acne got worse,
particularly on her back and the low-neck area.
Recommendation: Use autopathy once a fortnight,
6 litres, made from breath.
Two months later she emailed me, being somewhat
desperate, as the acne was spreading onto her arms, while getting worse
overall. She had not lost confidence in the treatment I had recommended only
because her good friend was treated successfully.
Recommendation: Once a week autopathy with
boiled saliva diluted with 6 litres of water.
After a month she reports: Acne in the face has
improved dramatically, it still persists in the lower parts (the therapy
outcome follows Hering’s law: from up to down, i.e. correctly).
Recommendation: AUTO 9l BOIL, once only. After
that, the acne got worse at first, but during the month that followed, it
disappeared even on the other parts of the body. On her last visit she stated
that the acne was much better even a couple of days earlier, but now that she
is menstruating, it is again making itself apparent, though it is still much
better than at any time since puberty. I must add that acne might not be only a
simple superficial skin disease, but it could be symptomatic of a much deeper
inner disorder, and it could often be incurable by ordinary allopathic as well
as by homeopathic treatment.
Case : Young woman who walked away from an
unhappy, discordant relationship, and who suffers from loneliness. She is also
being isolated from other people by her unfortunate tendency to become abusive
when feeling threatened in any way. There are also traumatic experiences from
her childhood, when she lived with her schizophrenic, dictatorial mother in a
mouldy subterranean flat. During the first and the second year of treatment by
autopathy there were some interesting improvements. For instance, she found a
better job, the conflicts with those near her have resolved, and there was an
overall feeling of well-being. However, when we switched to a homeopathic
remedy, she experienced backaches, pursiness (short of breath), which she used
to suffer from before, and an even bigger feeling of isolation. Added to that
was tiredness with sleeplessness. After such bad news in February 2010 I
recommended AUTO 6l saliva, BOIL, once a week.
After two months, she reported: She took the
preparation only twice. After the first dose she felt rather bad, stressed out,
nervous and had a long menstruation. She made the preparation one more time,
and something happened that she had never experienced before: she fell in love
and began a satisfactory relationship. Immediately, all the physical and
psychological problems were gone. Even the menstruation had returned to normal.
Case: A young lady suffering from alopecia, a
severe hair loss, even baldness; I have described this case before in the book
Get Well With Autopathy. After the autopathic treatment with saliva, everything
returned to normal. Nevertheless, a year or so later, the problem with the hair
loss had returned. Using autopathy the
potency was gradually increased – with no result. The hair loss continued and
she had hardly any left, though the other problems, particularly the strong
eczema she used to have before autopathy, were no longer there. In April 2010
she came back to me.
Recommendation: AUTO 6l saliva BOIL, once a
week.
Follow up in two months: A marked improvement.
No more hair loss and the hair is steadily growing back.
Some authors concerning themselves with yeasts
insist that loss of hair and dandruff are mainly the work of Candida. Autopathy
doesn’t strenuously search for causes. We know that there is ever only one cause:
impairment of the flow of vital force, prana, or Chi (various cultures have
different names for this subtle vital principle). In this case, however, it was
caused by the subtle vibrations of the parasites.
Case: A mother of two children. Though essentially
healthy, secure and with n a good
environment and relationships, she suffers from negative thoughts, which she
cannot precisely define, but which bother her greatly. Two years ago she had
read a book about the power of negative thoughts and it had terrified her. She
has had craniosacral therapy sessions and that made things worse. Negative
thoughts came even more often. Family relationships also aggravated the
situation. At first she used autopathy from fresh saliva in lower potencies on
her own, and it always helped for a time, but the problem would return.
As I had successfully treated her two children
for eczema, she asked for my help. My interpretation was that she had found
herself in strange spiritual crises: she feels bad and doesn’t know why; she
has negative thoughts and doesn’t know why. She is scarred, not knowing why.
For instance, she keeps thinking about her child falling into their swimming
pool, but it is locked up. There is no logic in that at all. Her finer
vibrations must obviously be disturbed at a very deep level, where things
cannot be explained through ordinary logic.
Recommended: 25 l from breath, potency 1M
(http://www.autopathy.info/breath-heals.htm) ,
which for a month brought a partial relief
from the “level of fear” at which she was previously always
experiencing. However, the negative
feelings had returned. She felt an urgent need for activity, unrest and fear,
as before. There were also discharges
and craving for sweet food – clear symptoms of Candida, which she had before.
Further recommendation: AUTO 25 l BOIL once
only.
A month later she reported: The second day
after application a crises came, which had intensified gradually until the 5th
day. Her head was spinning, she felt like vomiting, and she cried. She stayed
in bed for one day. After that all the psychological and physical problems had
disappeared quickly. They have not returned even after three months.
Case: A man over sixty, who two years ago had a
cancerous tumour in the large intestine surgically removed. A month ago another
tumour was found in his pelvis, 25 x 50 mm. At the same time, two metastatic
tumours were found in the lungs, 26 x 30 mm on the right and 24 x 25 mm
pressing on the pleura. Lately he coughs a little, otherwise he feels quite fine…except
for the fear. It is suspected that the cancer might enter the bones. His father
died of cancer; his mother at 96 is perfectly healthy.
Recommendation: Autopathic preparation in
autopathic bottle from saliva with alcohol and one litre of water every
morning. In the evening changing to two remedies: Lycopodium 30 (specific
remedy for the lung cancer) and the following evening Carcinosinum 30. Further
recommendation: increase the pH of the saliva through food and bicarbonate (see
the Chapter: Short Information on Basic Acid Balance), while drinking at least
3 litres of water. Avoid sugar and sweet food – sugar is the main source of
sustenance for the cancer cells, which according to Dr. Simoncini have their
base in the yeast activity. The first visit was at the end of November and
another followed 3 weeks later.
The client refers: The fear he was experiencing
has subsided and he feels more relaxed and does not think about cancer. He had
a CT of the lungs done a couple of days previously, and the smaller tumour has
grown by one millimetre. Incursion of the cancer into the skeleton was ruled
out. He is following all my recommendations and drinks water with dissolved
bicarbonate, half a small spoonful, 4 x daily. About 5 days after commencing
the treatment he had a strongly pruritic discharge after the bowel movement,
which has disappeared afterwards. The coughing has stopped. Erroneously he was
taking the homeopathic remedies two hours after the autopathy, rather than in
the evening. He had a blood test, which showed that thrombocytes, leukocytes,
glycemia, and sedimentation are over the
limit. I recommended that he continue the same treatment as agreed on before,
except taking alternately the two homeopathic remedies in the evening.
The next follow up was in a month. He is now on
chemotherapy. It causes lack of appetite, sometimes feeling like vomiting, but
overall his reaction to the chemotherapy is “better than the doctors frightened
me with”. After bronchoscopy, he coughed out blood for a week, but not any
longer and breathing is fine.
Recommendation: Use autopathy from ½ litre of
water with boiled saliva, every morning. In the evening take alternately the
same two homeopathic remedies, one pill each time.
The next follow up again in a month. He does
everything as I recommended. Continues having the chemotherapy, once a
fortnight. He is now halfway through the procedure and is to go for the fourth
treatment. After chemo for three days, he is slightly indisposed. His appetite
is good and he is not feeling bad.
Recommendation: Increase the dilution in
autopathy with boiled saliva to 1 litre every morning. Cough before spitting
into the autopathic bottle. Otherwise, continue as before.
Follow up after a further six weeks: The
chemotherapy a fortnight ago had really “knocked him down”, mentally and
physically. It was the sixth out of the planned twelve. For five days he could
not eat or drink. He decided not to continue with the chemotherapy and asked
for a CT check-up. He came to me the same day the doctors gave him the printed
and signed finding on examination, bearing a stamp. It stated in the
conclusion: “A locus of hypermetabolism of glucoses or structural lesion that
would unambiguously testify to presence of viable neoplasia at this time were
not found.” In other words, not even a shadow of the tumours that existed in
that place was found. The blood test also showed that all the blood parameters
that were previously high, were now within the norm (which is not common while
chemotherapy is in progress): thrombocytes, leukocytes, glycemia, and
sedimentation, in addition to that the markers of cancers were well within the
norm. Therefore, my client was absolutely healthy. The doctors are hesitant,
not understanding what might be happening, suggesting that the original
diagnosis may not have been correct. Despite that they recommended continuation
of chemotherapy, which my client refused. He too is very surprised.
My recommendation: Continue with autopathy and
homeopathic remedies as before.
Follow up six weeks later: He feels fine and
has no problems.
Recommendation: Stop taking the homeopathic
remedies and continue only with autopathy with two litres boiled, every second
day.
Another follow up six weeks later: He laughs
and his mood is excellent. He had travelled through France, and sometimes
overdid it a bit as far as calvados (brandy) is concerned. After discontinuing
the chemotherapy he did not return to the oncology office and has no intentions
of going there.
Recommendation: AUTO 3l BOIL, once a week. I
think that Dr. Simoncini would be happy, while the yeasts are trying to find
their luck elsewhere.
Case:
Eczema- Some time ago I successfully treated eczema in a young mother,
who had it for her entire life. It had covered her body completely from feet to
head. Now she has a son, who has inherited the disease. The mother herself had
treated him with autopathy from saliva, after which the eczema got better,
subsiding from head downwards. However, it kept returning. Even after twelve
litre potencies from saliva that I had recommended after they visited me, it
developed along similar lines.
Recommendation: At the beginning of the year I
recommended 6 l with boiled saliva, once a week. The autopathic bottle that was
used for the twelve litre potencies had to be changed for a new one, even
though the 3 months period of use had not been reached. When you go down by so
many litres it is necessary, as the glass would retain the higher potency. A
follow up after six weeks proved that soon after the first application his face
had cleared, the madescent spots had begun to heal and the scabs dried out. He
does not wake up at night as often than he used to.
Recommendation: Continue with autopathy in the
same way. In another six weeks the mother reported that the positive changes
from the last visit have increased so much that there is hardly any eczema
left. However, in the last few days something semolina-like has been appearing
on hands and body, a rough skin but not eczema.
Recommendation: AUTO 9 l BOIL once only.
Three months later, an e-mail came from the
mother, reporting that three days after applying the nine litre potency of
boiled saliva, the skin problems had disappeared. Since then he’s had no
further problems.
Case: This lovely young woman has had multiple
sclerosis for the past 4 years. She is taking corticoids, suffers from
tiredness, is depressed, sad and cries during the examination. A couple of
months ago she had high fevers and she has been feeling tired ever since. She
recently had problems with sinuses and took antibiotics.
My recommendation: AUTO 4.5 l boiled saliva
(cough strongly before spitting), once a week.
Follow up in a month: On the day of the
autopathic treatment she felt good, had more energy and positive thoughts. She is
not taking the corticoids any more. There is substantially more energy,
particularly lately; she also has less need for sleeping.
Recommendation: AUTO 6 l BOIL once a week.
Follow up in 2 months, via e-mail: The
neurological problems she has suffered from continuously, tingling and
slackness in the left hand, are improving. She still has more energy. Instead
of feeling sad she is, particularly early in the morning, enraged. Rage at the
beginning of treatment I always see as a manifestation of awakening vitality
that is not yet under control. She takes no corticoids.
I recommended stopping the autopathic treatment
until the control that was to follow in 14 days. She feels good physically and
has no further problems, she is narky, particularly at work, and occasionally
she blows her top. Previously she tended to retreat and bottle things up.
Recommendation: AUTO 9l BOIL, once only.
The next follow up was after full three months,
during which she was without any problems and taking no medication. Ten days
ago however, she had a shock, when she found out that her sister was also
diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The tingling sensation in hand and loss of
feeling in fingers had returned.
Recommendation: AUTO 9l BOIL, once only until
the next follow up.
The potency of boiled saliva can be determined
the same way as with the pure saliva, as described in the chapter Specifying
the degree of dilution, in my book Autopathy: A Homeopathic Journey to Harmony
(http://www.autopathy.info/book.htm)
Potencies of between one and two liters (in the
autopathic bottle, one liter makes 40 C), in cases of serious and threatening
diseases and conditions, we could apply daily, or even twice a day. The
dilution of 4.5 – 6 liters is usually applied once a week, sometimes more often
when there are distinctive problems. The potencies of 6 liters (240 C) and
above could also be applied singly, while monitoring the development and
waiting as long as there are continuing improvements. If positive development
comes to a halt, or things do turn back and there is a relapse, we use the same
potency or higher. Some of my students report that in some of their cases there
have been significant improvements only after the dilution by twenty liters
(app. 1M) or even more of boiled saliva. Such potencies then worked in the long
term even after a single dose, but only when they had been reached gradually.
With some people, however, the potencies of 1 – 6 liters are high enough.
Potencies prepared from boiled saliva have
proved useful even in cases of acute illnesses, such as high fever in children,
when I usually recommend the potency of six liters applied repeatedly (in
intervals of several hours) or by a single application.

I
came to conclusion, that before I would detox any nosodes, best to prepare
patient for detox using METAB (easy to google) which corrects metabolism, DNA
and RNA, also opens the Kreb’s cycle … for at least one week before detox, and
continue for a while.
In
acute case, if person needs to use nosode urgently, then best is to start METAB
as well as nosode, and support the detox with combination of detox remedies
(Nature Sunshine Products have a very good remedy).
This
way, you may cut down “healing crisis” to minimum.
Most
likely none at all.

DEAR
DR,
I
ALSO BELIEVE IN THE AUTOPATHIC SYSTEM OF PREPARING A REMEDY AS STATED EARLIER
IN MY PREVIOUS COMMENTS. BUT I WANT SOME CLARIFICATION FROM DR JIRI
1.WHY
SHOULD THE SALIVA TO BE STERILSED BY BOILING IT, AS LATER DOSES HE RECOMENDS
NON STERLISED ONES.
2. HE
HAS NOT MENTIONED THE METHOD OF SUCCUSSION FOR POTENTISATION
3. FOR
NOSODES SOME DOCTORS ADVISE NOT TO REPEAT IT BEFORE THREE MONTHS . WHAT IS HIS
OPINION?.
4.
CAN WE USE THE METHOD OF TAKING STERLISED WATER INTO THE MOUTH IN THE MORNING
WITHOUT RINSING THE MOUTH AND SHAKE THE SAME WATER INTO THE MOUTH AND DRINKING
IT. THEREAFTER WE MAY DRINK SOME MORE WATER IF WE LIKE AND WASH THE MOUTH AFTER
AN 1/2 HOUR. OUR SAGES SAY THAT A MAN SHOULD KEEP A GLASS OF WATER ON HIS BED
SIDE AND AS SOON AS HE RISES/WAKES HE SHOULD DRINK THE WATER OF HIS MOUTH
WITHOUT WASHING THE MOUTH.
PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME WITH YOUR OPINION ON MY EMAIL drcsgupta@yahoo.com
thanks and regards

Dear Dr. Gupta,
1) During the time it was proved that all doses should be sterilized
until parasites disappear from the organism. Then potentised breath can be
used. Read the book for more information please.
2) Most remedies over 1M potency during last 120 years were not prepared
by succussion. Dr. Skinner and Dr. Fincke in 19th century in USA as well as the
pharmacy Boericke and Tafel till the end of 20th century and many other
pharmacies prepared so called flux potencies. They were prepared completely
different way. My method is based on Fickle´s system. In my book you find more
information.
3) Some doctors don´t recommend it but others do. It depends on the
potency. I do not recommend to repeat often potencies higher than 1M. It also
depends on the overall state of the organism. More information in my book.
4) I also found in old Indian tradition the vessel called kundika which
was used for spiritual and healing purposes from the time immemorial. It exists
even Kundika upanishad, speaking about its use. Autopathic bottle is very
similar to it. And it is used for a similar purpose. More information in my
book. What is in 200 pages cannot be said in one short article. Thanks for
resonance with my ideas.

I
wish to inform, rather advise the beginners and students not to try autopathy
on their patients or not to study the subject at all until they have fairly
mastered the technique of prescribing (homeopathically ). Otherwise there is
the risk of getting thoroughly confused & demoralised.
The
logic and rationale behind the system of healing is not clear, but definitely
not homeopathic. If two bad eggs can be sold with two good ones (for half the
price of course) that doesn’t mean that bad eggs are saleable. Calling
autopathy a branch of homoeopathy is highly objectionable. If some homoeopaths
frequently encounter cases for which no homoeopathic remedy is suitable, its
the failure on the part of those homeopaths not that of homeopathy as such.
Hahnemann has rightly said that, “a prescription does not fly to our mouths
like roasted turkey on a platter, we( the homeopaths) have to work hard for
that”. Further “If anything can cause something it can cure in small doses” is
not the meaning of “similia similibus curantur” as some homeopaths believe. Can
the effects of poisoning by phosphorus be antidoted by a high potency of
phosphorus ? It is a universal law with no ordinary exceptions, and any
exceptions are another phenomena explained by Hahnemann elsewhere, like Natr mur
high antidoting the crude salt and lower potencies for well understood reasons.

Dear Jiri,
In the footnote to aphorism 56 Hahnemann has outright condemned
autopathy and not endorsed it. his words “nothing but disaster and aggravation
will result from such an employment…”
But that isn’t the only reason which makes the system look phony, but
your explanation of the phenomena has too many inconsistencies. AS per the
explanation parasites are the cause of the infection and blocks to the action
of remedies, and its highly unlike the homeopathic view that the causa morbi is
dynamic, invisible or imperceptible to the senses.Thus the explanation is
allapathic, modern medicine which believes the causa morbi is an object the
removal of which should cure the disease. but your method of potentisation is
homeopathic.when you advise to apply the nosode to the ‘forehead chakra’ it
highly savors of occult or spiritual healing !
Still if there is such a phenomena as this , you should report all the
cases, failures with their causes along with the successes.(But the cases
reported seem to be selected.) Then only the readers will be able to assess the
cures and whether they are only co-incidents or some such thing.Otherwise every
intellectual reader who questions such a system have to be termed “prejudiced”.

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 40
times, 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.
