Autopathy: Healing with potentized Saliva

What are we healing?

It is exclusively the spiritual level (vital force or dynamis) that is healed and influenced by the non-material potency. The lower levels only testify to its condition and are one-hundred-percent dependent on it. We don’t heal illness but the inner Man (Swedenborg, Kent), the non-material spiritual principle. The positively affected high, fine-matter sphere may completely improve the person’s system as a whole, from the spiritual state to a comprehensive physical cure, or gradually expand its influence to the social sphere and personal relations. Nonetheless, anyone who isn’t entirely familiar with the holistic concept of healing will probably ask what precisely autopathy is for, or where and for what sorts of ailment autopathy can get the best results.

My own experience is as follows.

The list of chronic (in the terminology of conventional medicine meaning approximately the same as incurable) ailments that have radically improved or disappeared after autopathy continues to grow (the diagnoses obviously aren’t mine but rather those of the doctors my patients visited previously without any marked success): chronic eczema, bronchial asthma, frequent or permanent headaches, chronic fatigue syndrome, insomnia, allergies, anxiety and depression, unaccountable perpetual melancholy, unaccountable fear, chronic cough and repeated inflammation of the bronchial tubes, chronic colds, tearfulness and insomnia in infants during breastfeeding age, liver problems, ischemic heart disease and associated difficulties, constant genital bleeding following menstruation and associated tiredness, chronic inflammation of the intestines, painful and poorly functioning gall-bladder, painful menstruation, high pressure, heart pains during physical exertion, constant rapid pulse, irregular and intermittent pulse, cramp in the legs, diabetes, diarrhoea, inflamed toe nail, constant vomiting in infants of breastfeeding age, digestion problems, pains in the joints, susceptibility to infectious diseases – influenza, throat ache, lowered immunity) … .

I’d like at this point to emphasise the old homeopathic truth that there exist highly advanced pathological states where a return to health is no longer possible. This isn’t a matter of types of illness but of the organism’s overall vitality. If this is already weak it won’t have sufficient strength to heal the organism. Sometimes we’re not able to recognise this in a person (age isn’t the main criterion here). Even in such cases, however, autopathy may bring  some improvement in the quality of life, increased enjoyment, an improvement in the higher spiritual sphere, despite the lower material structures being incurable for the creative sphere.

Acute problems also receded rapidly following the administering of an autopathic preparation in many of my cases.

The successful prevention of a decline in health (in the context of the methods described) thus depends on the timely use of an autopathic preparation in a relatively healthy state and in an increase in the harmony of the entire organism, firstly at the highest fine-matter level. The principle is well-known from homeopathy, where, if a holistically-acting, highly-resonating constitutional medicine can be found, the patient’s health will be strengthened profoundly and lastingly, physical and psychological resistance will be increased and so on, both in children and adults. In my practice I’ve often noticed that children who were once repeatedly absent from school enjoy far higher levels of attendance and health after using autopathy. It’s highly beneficial to use a high-potency autopathic preparation before the illness fully takes hold, when the problems are still slight, superficial or occasional and can be easily and swiftly remedied. It’s also highly recommended to use a preparation before entering a stressful or infectious environment.

An autopathic preparation essentially works in the same way as a precisely selected homeopathic constitutional medicine, prescribed in accordance to the totality of the patient’s symptoms. Consequently, autopathy also follows the vast majority of rules and principles established in classical  homeopathy: A single dose for a long period of time, infinitesimal dilution (potecies  from 40 C to 10M), totality of symptoms  is to be cured, Hernig’s laws of cure are in use during the process of healing.

Cases

Case of chronic ulcerous colitis

The following case shows that autopathy offers real hope for recovery and a full life to people whose overall life

perspective does not look favourable due to long-term and so-called incurable illnesses.

A young woman around twenty, let’s call her Jane. She’s pale and overly thin, for seven months she’s had a recurring watery stool with very bad flatulence, and for the last four months the stool has contained blood. She has been off work sick for four months with a doctor’s note. She tells me that the colonscopy found an inflammation of the intestine 40 cm long, and another section reddish. Her stool is liquid, happens six times during the day and four times during the night. It is expelled with wind, thus making it very difficult for her to leave her apartment. It contains blood. She is extremely tired. Her condition is gradually worsening. She is taking a number of medicines. The diagnosis is apparently called ulcerous colitis. One doctor, a visitor to my homeopathy course, suggested that it might be Crohn’s disease. In similar cases the inflamed parts of the intestine are operated on, resulting in a temporary improvement in the condition. However, the intestine gets shorter and shorter without leading to a permanent cure.

About one month after using the homeopathic medicine in a potency of 1 M she contracted a fever of more than 39° C which lasted a week and left her under doctor’s supervision. After another month I learn that her stool happens twice a day, is formed and without blood. The client appears healthy, has a red face and a good mood, which hasn’t been the case for a long time, and isn’t tired. She no longer suffers from the anxiety that afflicted her over the previous few months. I then heard nothing about her for a year, and, as I discovered later, during this period she experienced no problems up to the last month.

A year after the last check-up I received a phone call from her relatives, telling me that for the past month Jane had had diarrhoea and blood in her stool. For the previous four days she had had a fever of 40° C. The doctor had told her that it was flu and given her antibiotics. A day before the telephone call she had taken the homeopathic medicine that helped her a year before.

After another three days they call to say that the fever has still not gone away and is hovering around 40° C. She is very weak and the stools are now recurring eight times during the day and four times during the night. She is very tired and suffers from headaches and pain in her limbs. It seems likely that the homeopathic medicine has lost its resonance influence (the patient has changed) and no longer has any effect. Moreover, due to the fever and diarrhoea she is exposed to severe dehydration, which can only be dealt with through infusions in the hospital, and no longer merely by drinking. In such an acute situation I advised them to ask the doctor to hospitalise her.

A month later, after being discharged from her short stay in hospital, the number of stools fell slightly, but traces of blood remained. On top of this, Jane started to suffer from strange back pains. Otherwise, she said that she was satisfied, because everyone is nice to her when she’s ill. As her situation had improved somewhat, and she was again using the medicine that had helped her the year before, I said that I would wait and for the moment abstain from recommending any further action.

A month later, when her condition was slowly improving, she suffered an acute attack of new symptoms: agonising pains which afflicted different parts of the body at different times – the knee, the hip, the shoulder, the collar-bone… and in addition a fever. Members of the family said that she  would weep with the suffering. She visited the doctor for an examination, but the situation only fluctuated, and remained essentially unchanged.

I recommended an autopathic preparation from her own saliva, prepared in an autopathic bottle with dilution of three litres of water (a potency of 120 C). The frequency of the stools immediately fell to two a day and none in the night. The fever and pain in the hip reappeared. But she regained her appetite. In the hospital examination they found that she had a deficiency in red blood corpuscles, and she was given three transfusions.

Three weeks after taking the autopathic preparation she notes that she has a good mood and no longer suffers from the wandering pains. She no longer suffers from fatigue.

Two and a half months after taking the autopathic preparation she says her condition is good, but not perfect. She has put on ten kilos, going up from fifty to sixty kilograms (previously she had been pathologically thin). She has gone three weeks without any medication and takes only iron. She has a good mood, her friends say that she’s always smiling. Sometimes she goes out into the world, a feat for which she previously did not have the energy. Her stools were now coming twice daily, were well-formed, and not in the night. She still feels her hip slightly.

Five months after taking the autopathic preparation: She weighs 66 kg, her stool is solid, formed, and comes once a day. She hasn’t taken any medication through the entire period. She has a slight cold. She spent a week skiing in the mountains. The previous week she went for a rectoscopic examination. They told her that that it looked fine and that they had found nothing . They also analysed her blood and found it to be in order, everything normal.

Another eight months went by. Jane came to see me and told me that since the previous check-up she hadn’t suffered a recurrence of any of the problems. I agreed with her and her relatives that they would immediately contact me in the event of any, even the most minor, problems. These might be the first signs of a relapse, in which case a new autopathic preparation should be used in order to prevent any more serious deterioration. Another nine months passed. Her family told me that she looked in the best of health. If I count correctly, one dose of the preparation in a relatively low potency had lasted twenty-two months, of which twenty months had been entirely without problems, in full health.

Very brief case descriptions

Woman, 43. She has had eczema since childhood, when it was particularly severe. Now it is only mild. Suffers from chronic constipation. Always has a headache before her period. AP (autopathic preparation made in Autopathic Bottle) of five litres (200 C). At the first check-up she tells me that she no longer has headaches before her period and no longer has constipation. At the second check-up she says that she has no other problems, although the eczema still lingers on in a mild form. Later, her husband comes for a consultation. He tells me his wife is now entirely free of any problems. She didn’t come to the check-up as she wouldn’t have anything to talk about.

An acquaintance of mine has lived for a long time in a Buddhist monastery in Sri Lanka as a monk. He knows me as a homeopath and is aware of my new methods. He wrote to tell me that he has a teacher, a monk very advanced in wisdom, who had suffered from a persistent headache ever since treating himself for Malaria with quinine. He asked me to send him several autopathic bottles, which I did. About a year later his brother told me that he had received news from Sri Lanka that the preparation had “greatly helped” the monk.

Man, 33. For the last two and a half months he has slept badly. He wakes often and sleeps only three to four hours a night in total. He sometimes takes a sleeping pill. He has begun to have problems with his concentration and is tired. After an AP of 9 litres (360 C) his sleep immediately returned to normal. In the first month after taking the preparation he only woke in the night once, and this was caused by noise from the street. He is no longer tired and has no problems concentrating.

Women, 40. Has a problem with her thyroid gland, which registers as 8.45 in tests (the normal upper level is 4.6). She has a number of other, less serious problems, both mental and physical. She is seriously dissatisfied with her life. To begin with she received homeopathic treatment, but she had a dream that she met my wife and asked her to persuade me to give her an autopathic bottle. Which happened. The first dose was from ten litres (400 C). Subsequently, the thyroid gland tests fell to 6.07 and then 5.5. Mentally and physically she felt much improved. There then followed a relapse and the test results rose to 8.0. After taking another preparation (this time of 20 litres, or 800 C) the figure fell to 4.2, or in other words within the normal range. This was followed by a further gradual fall towards the optimal figure, going down to 3.28. Her constipation disappeared and mentally she felt at ease. The pressure around her gall-bladder went away, a problem that had troubled her for years.

Woman, 41. Lives in Germany, where she followed homeopathic treatments. Her whole life she has suffered from constant anxiety, depressive states, sadness, everything is bad and black. A burning sensation in her stomach. AP 80 C. At her check-up four months later she says that she feels much better, perhaps by as much as 40 %, and that the improvement is still continuing. Shortly after taking the preparation she had a temporary feeling like those she had when aged fifteen, when the anxiety was at its worst (reverse old symptom). She is very satisfied.

Woman 38. In the second month of pregnancy. Vomits several times a day and suffers constant stomach problems. She had similar problems during her previous pregnancy seventeen years ago. AP 6 litres (240 C). The vomiting and discomfort immediately disappeared, and for a while she found herself succumbing to a tearful mood, an old (now reverse) symptom which she used to have from time to time. When travelling by car she suffered several incidents of travel sickness, which she used to have as a child (also a reverse symptom). The travel sickness passed very quickly. She gave birth to a healthy child, which was aged seven months at the time of the mother’s last check-up. The mother is surprised by the child’s exemplary health as the previous child (seventeen years before) has not been so unproblematic. Her own health is also very good.

Man of around 30. His tests reveal sarcoidosis, a chronic and incurable illness which may, in time, result in his death. After using the autopathic bottle (AP 6 litres) he feels much better. Unlike previously, the tests do not find any pathological problem, even when performed repeatedly over an extended period of time. The nodes on his lungs have disappeared, as have the small nodes in his skin, and the blood tests are back to normal. So at present there are no bases on which to repeat the initial diagnosis.

Boy of 4. Suffers from a recurring cough, which always lasts at least one week a month, throughout the whole year. The allergists told his mother that he has allergic asthma. AP 6 litres (240 C). Check-up after six months, in December: For several months he has had practically no cough or any other problems. After performing some tests, the allergists said recently that he is no longer allergic.

Woman, 50. Anxiety, fear, melancholy and insomnia. Wakes frequently, sleeps until three and then lies awake. AP 80 C. Check-up after two and a half months: The anxiety and melancholy have passed. She sleeps excellently.

Woman, 50. For ten years she has had a blocked nose and only breathes through her mouth. Uses drops, but these can’t unblock her nose entirely. As a result she sleeps badly. Suffers from watery eyes. Tests show that the thyroid gland is only working at 15 % and is swollen, enlarged; she takes artificial hormones. A CT examination found a cyst in her left kidney. Her knuckles give her pain. AP 6 litres (240 C). Three weeks after taking the preparation she suffered a slight deterioration in both kidneys – she could feel them. Her eyes then stopped watering and the pain in her knuckles disappeared, although the blocked nose persisted. I advised her to desist from taking the nose drops for a few days. Two days after stopping the drops her nose unblocked. Half a year after taking the preparation she went for a check-up on her thyroid gland. They told her that it had reduced in size and was back to normal. Blood tests showed that the thyroid gland was functioning normally, at 100% efficiency. Her nose is still unblocked.

Woman, 24. Says that she’s coming due to a small bump behind her ear. She also says she would like to be less jealous. She didn’t say anything more than this during her first meeting. AP 6  litres (240 C). Check-up after three months: She mentioned many changes for the better for problems she had not talked about at the first meeting. For a year and a half she had experienced a ringing in her ears and suffered a deterioration in her hearing. This had entirely vanished. Since beginning to menstruate she had always had very strong period pains and always took pain killers. Her last two periods had been entirely free of pain. She had also ceased to suffer from pain in the abdomen, which regularly recurred, even outside her periods. She has far more energy. She no longer has problems with her sleep. She’s less jealous. The bump behind her ear is the same. A year and a half after taking the AP the positive changes still remained and she also reported an improvement in her inter-personal communication skills. She no longer even mentioned the bump behind her ear.

Woman, 23. Has a myoma measuring 85 x 100 mm. Her gynaecologist insists she should have an operation. She has chronic vaginal discharges caused by a fungus infection. She takes contraceptive pills. AP 6 litres (240 C). Check-up after three months: A week before she had been at the gynaecologist, where she was told that the myoma had got considerably smaller, and now measured 55 x 65 mm. She also got more enjoyment out of life. The doctor no longer advised her to have an operation. The vaginal discharges disappeared immediately after taking the preparation.

Man, 57. Has had high blood pressure – currently at 180/95 – for about a year, despite taking pills to combat it. The left ventricle is dilated, a condition for which he also takes medication. He sometimes has an irregular pulse. Sometimes wheezes. Has a high cholesterol level (6.3). His condition is gradually deteriorating. AP 3 litres (120 C). Check-up after five months: His breathing problems had vanished entirely, there was no longer any sign of an irregular pulse, cholesterol had fallen to 5.5 and, according to the doctor, his heart was in better condition. His blood pressure was constant at 135/75 – or practically normal. He couldn’t be sure that all these changes could be put down to diluted saliva, but he didn’t know of any other reason for his improvement, which began after taking the AP. He organised another check-up.

University student. A well-built young man, a sportsman, so far treated homeopathically. In January he came for a consultation complaining that he felt a constant irritation at the back of his throat which made him want to cough. He coughed about once an hour. A spirometry hadn’t found any problem, and his lung capacity was in fact twice as large as normal. Has found pin-worms in his stool, and often suffers from stomach ache. He has congested frontal sinuses, in the morning his forehead hurts, he has a cold. His throat hurts when in cold weather. AP 3 M (30 min under the filter). Check-up after four months: The cough soon improved, before disappearing completely. His sleep got better – he was falling asleep after two minutes and didn’t dream. Mentally he had improved as well – he was now far better able to handle examinations and no longer suffered nerves.

Woman, 29. After using autopathy many symptoms improved, but at a check-up nine months later I recorded minor signs of a relapse. I thus gave her a new autopathic bottle and advised her to use a higher potency. This was in September. In December she telephone me in tears, complaining that she was in a terrible state and felt worse than at any time in her life: She had stomach problems, headaches, was exhausted, had a fever of 39° C and suffered from intense anxiety. It turned out that she still hadn’t produced the preparation after the last check-up, and that she had therefore already been in a state of relapse for three months. I told her to do it now. Half an hour after using it she experienced some mental relief, after an hour her temperature began to fall, dropping to 37.5° C by morning. The next day she was already well. Once the acute state had gone the following weeks and months saw the gradual disappearance of the remaining chronic disharmony.

Woman, 68. Psoriasis on her limbs and now also on her face. She had had it nineteen years previously and had cured it then with homeopathy. She has had rashes and scabs for about a year. She takes a number of different medications and until recently rubbed her skin with corticoids. AP 1.5 litres (60 C). Check-up after two months. First, the psoriasis around the eyes worsened (homeopathic deterioration), before entirely disappearing from her face and hands, with traces remaining on her legs, although here also it was disappearing as every week went by, in a downwards direction. She is very satisfied.

Woman, 27. Treated autopathically for many years. Five months before she had used a potency of 1M (ten minutes under the filter) and had been relatively healthy. She telephones to say that she has had a temperature of up to 39.1 °C for two days. She has a breast inflammation which hurts and she has had to stop breastfeeding. She feels psychologically vulnerable and cries for no reason. She’s advised to use AP of 500 C, 5 minutes under the filter, to apply it to the forehead, the sixth chakra. She takes it  at noon, at six in the evening her temperature is only 37.2 °C, she feels much better and the melancholy has been replaced by cheerfulness. The next day the temperature had gone and there were no other ailments. Her health continued to improve over the next two months and she now has no problems.

Woman, 50.  Had used autopathy for  years with excellent results. But about a month before she had had a skiing accident. Since then she had been in relapse. She had a constant headache, slept very badly and felt miserable. AP 1M (ten minutes under the filter) applied to the forehead chakra. Within two weeks her health had improved and she began to feel much better, without previous problems, a state which continues to today. The injury to the knee ligaments had healed well.
