Autopathy (sometimes also called autoisopathy) is a special and little-known method of holistic healing which has developed out of the two hundred year old tradition of homeopathy. In essence it consists of using the homeopathically highly diluted saliva of the person who is being treated. Drawing on the authorauthor’s experience of many clinical cases, the book profiles this remarkable method for dealing with chronic (from a conventional point of view incurable) complaints, and records its outstanding results. There are about twenty case histories involving long-term, chronic ailments and illnesses which have been cured or markedly improved by autopathy. The book also explains the principles and details of undertaking autopathic self-healing by oneself, as well as how to reliably produce an autopathic preparation at home.

Jiri Cehovsky (born 1947) has practiced classical homeopathy for 26 years. He is the director of the Homeopathic Academy in Prague, where he also lectures. Since 2003, he has organized special seminars on autopathy.

BOOK REVIEW
"Autopathy: A Homeopathic Journey to Harmony, Healing and Self-Healing with Water and Saliva"
Jiri Cehovsky, Nakladatelsvi Alternativa, Prague, 2006, 176 pages, paperback,
Reviewed by John Morgan (Pharmacist at Helios Pharmacy)

First of all, hats off to Jiri Cehovsky for the clear distinctive title showing that this is a book about autopathy, sometimes called autoisopathy rather than calling it homoepathy. We know autopathy best as the use of autonosodes using an isopathic principle of giving a potentised exudates of ones own body fluids rather than using similar remedies. That is not to say a homoeopathic principle is at work here evoking the healing but Jiri recommends and uses the patients own saliva as the preferred remedy. He states it Œcarries detailed information of the state of the whole organism¹ and by subsequent potentisation in water at home Œcan, using a precise resonance, cause the sick person¹s enfeebled fine matter creative sphere (dynamis) to reverberate again in its original frequency and bring about a return to the organism¹s original structure to health¹.

Part 1 of the book goes into detailed homoeopathic philosophy drawing on the ideas of great masters such as Hahnemann, Kent, Swedenborg, Hermes, Hering and Buddha. It is simply delivered, easy to understand and very readable for both beginner and experienced practitioner. It is good sound stuff with a couple of case histories, showing how he started to use this method, to whet the apetite for what is to come. Part 2 goes into describing the autopathic principle, the history of potentisation, case taking and second prescription. He is rooted in a very good Œclassical¹ education with the only really new part being the use of saliva as the only remedy and the potencies used, which are in multiples of 40, namely 40c, 80c, 120c, etc. The case management guidelines are very familiar and are the same as for any Kentian method with a single dose and wait approach.

The end of Part 2 gives the detailed method of making the autopathic saliva remedy and it is so easy you can do it at home. You simply spit into a previously heated 10ml glass bottle and fill with water, then empty it then refill it 40 times. This gives the 40c remedy from which you take a single dose. There is no succussion involved and is analagous to Skinner¹s potentising methods of emptying and refilling a glass vessel to dynamise a remedy. The meticulous details of how to do this are fastidious and impressive, recommending rubber gloves and face masks to minimise contamination. If you really get into it there is a special glass apparatus which saves time by pouring the water through a funnel type apparatus creating a vortex and so a continuous fluxion type of potentisation. This vessel can only be used once and is available from: http://www.autopathy.info.

We have already been through, with Conté et al, a past promise that spit is the answer to our remedy choice problems and the healing of the planet so this book is bound to bring up some scepticism, However Part 3 gives an impressive collection of chronic case studies brought to a speedy cure using this method, most within a few months and after more familiar polychrest prescribing. I suggest we keep a very open mind and even have a go ourselves to verify the benefits of this method, before writing it off as an oversimplified one size fits all impossibility. Jiri is very sincere and is obviously doing amazing work with his own patients and students. His autopathic method deserves to be taken seriously in the affirmation that the appropriate use of potentised material will always bring a beneficial result.
