A Review of the Literature

By Manfred Mueller, RSHom(NA), CCH
The tautopathic method in homeopathy is one that I have seen great benefit
from in my own practice. When used as a pretreatment, it can be very
effective in removing obstacles that would otherwise keep well indicated
remedies from working, or even prevent aggravations from occurring. I have
seen this method render patients deemed “incurable” by other homeopaths
be cured by pretreatment with tautopathic prescribing. In fact, in some cases,
I have witnessed miraculous healings where no conventional homeopathic
remedy was ever prescribed because the patient had been suffering from an
iatrogenically induced disorder and the most similar remedy was in fact the
tautopathic one.

I and others have, in the modern homeopathic era, spoken out in favor of
using this method as another tool in the homeopathic toolbox. However, I
have noticed that within our own community there is a vast difference in
opinion on the subject bordering almost on a rift. During my earliest
ponderings on the possible use of the tautopathic method in the mid-eighties,
I searched as much of the literature as I had access to. However, given my
current observations on the reactions to this method, I felt it was warranted
to do a more thorough review and documentation of this topic for
presentation to the homeopathic community at large. In fact, I have found
that the controversy on this subject is nothing new. I hope you will find the
results both useful and of interest.

Definitions
One of my observations both in the literature and from conversations with
modern homeopaths, is that there exists some confusion with regards to the
definition of certain terminology. With this in mind, I present the following
clarifications.

P. Sankaran informed us that Mr Dudley Wooton Everitt, the late director of

Nelsons Homeopathic Pharmacy in London coined the term
“tautopathy.”1 Everitt was a Trustee of the Royal London Homeopathic
Hospital who reportedly donated “boxed homeopathic remedies to every
graduate of the Missionary School of Medicine.” He also contributed to
homeopathic provings, including in the elder Sankaran’s provings of Atrax
robustus  and  Hydrophys cyanocincta.  Everitt was a passionate supporter of
homeopathy until he and sixteen homeopathic physicians died tragically in
the 1972 Trident air disaster.2
Yasgur defines tautopathy as a form of isotherapy, primarily reserved for
treating the effect of conventional drugs.3 Another form of isotherapy is
isopathy. Isopathy has been around for centuries: it is the practice of
employing a product of a disease for the prevention or cure of that same
disease. Variolation was such a practice – a pre-Jennerian method of
inoculation with pus from a smallpox eruption against a future smallpox
outbreak. It was practiced in Europe and dates back to ceremonial use by the
Druids and Hindu priests.4 Vaccination for smallpox, on the other hand, was
originally done with cowpox, a similar disease. While Hahnemann appears to
have supported Jenner’s vaccination as a sort of crude homeopathy, where a
weak similar disease was used to prevent a stronger disease, he did not
condone the use of crude isopathy such as variolation. However, some
homeopaths like Hering introduced the idea of using potentized disease
matter for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.
The term tautopathy was introduced into homeopathy to distinguish it from
isopathy. The word isopathy is commonly used for the prevention and
treatment of infectious diseases with a product of that disease. In the
homeopathic context, isopathy is “treatment with a potentized product,
discharge or a microbe derived from a disease.” In other words, isopathy is
the use of a nosode. The term nosode derives from the Greek word νό ϭος
(nosos) = disease or sickness.

Tautopathy usually refers to treatment of an artificial disorder with a micro-

dose or potency of the drug or toxic agent that caused that disorder. I have
coined the term “pharmacode” for a homeopathic potency of such an agent,
from the Greek word φαρμακόν (pharmakon) = drug or poison, to distinguish
these remedies from nosodes. The term isopathy is also used for both
isopathy and tautopathy and the term isode for both nosodes and
pharmacodes.

Isopathy derives from the Greek word ισοσ (isos), meaning equal or same,
which was generally used in the sense of “equal amounts” and is therefore a
misnomer. The term tautopathy derives from the Greek word ταυτόν (tauton)
= same, selfsame, in the sense of “identical.” Tautopathy is defined by
the Oxford Unabridged English Dictionary as “suffering caused by the same
thing that was habitually used previously.” 5
For the purposes of this paper I am using the term tautopathy for “treatment
of a disorder with a potency/lower dose of a harmful agent that apparently
caused that disorder.”

Hahnemann differentiated between the absolute action of drugs versus the

limited effects of infectious diseases.6 These drug agents produce disease at
all times, in every individual if given in sufficient dose, whereas infectious
diseases generally only affect some susceptible persons. Tautopathy uses
potentized remedies made from causative agents that are of such absolute
nature, such as allopathic drugs, chemical poisons, animal and plant poisons,
radiation, and electricity. Additional special areas where tautopathy appears
to be useful are with (a) allergic reactions and (b) adverse spontaneous
proving reactions during homeopathic treatment in sensitive individuals.
Undoubtedly, tautopathy is a complex topic. While I have commented on this
method throughout this paper, it does not contain a full and detailed
discussion of the method, which hopefully will be the subject of a future
paper.

Review of the Classical Literature

In a 1960 booklet, the noted Indian homeopathic physician Dr Ramanlal Patel
summarized his own rationale for the tautopathic method. His purpose was:

… to remove some ‘“obstacles to recovery in each case’” which are coming up in

the way of homeopathy in the modern “wonder drugs’”era. Tautopathy cannot
cure all types of drug diseases, but it can help to cure many and varied cases. 7
Patel pointed out that many homeopaths failed to recognize that some of
their patient’s symptoms are actually drug side effects, including effects of
previous medications that had been discontinued.
If a homeopathic physician prescribes on the totality of symptoms without
considering the symptoms or bad effects of drug diseases of previous medication,
he is going to fail, no doubt.8
Patel noticed that not only could he remove the symptoms of the drugs with
the tautopathic method, which would make it easier to find an indicated
homeopathic remedy, but more often than not, there was:

no need of prescribing any other homoeopathic drug as in such cases patients

recover completely if he is under the influence of that “wonder drug.” 9
He used the tautopathic remedies as intercurrent remedies during
constitutional treatment as well as during treatment of acute and chronic
ailments. He used them in lower potencies than constitutional remedies, as a
rule the 30c. He observed that you could even repeat the pharmacodes in the
lower potencies without disturbing the action of the constitutional or chronic
remedy.10
Patel discovered the method after he recognized the symptoms
of Chloromycetin in a patient who had been overdosed with that drug. Based
on the symptoms, he prescribed Bryonia alba 30c but without effect. He then
tried Nux vomica 30c, as it is the most cited antidote for drug reactions, but
also without result. Chloromycetin 30c was given every six hours and over the
next five days the symptoms subsided.19
Patel was not the only one to comment on the fact that drugs can become
“the obstacle to cure” and as such, need to be antidoted with a potency of
that drug.

Donald M. Foubister reported similar experiences:

A man of forty-five who had suffered from very severe attacks of asthma for ten
years responded to some extent to constitutional treatment. He had been born
under chloroform anesthesia, and his mother had been greatly upset by the
anesthesia. Natrum sulphuricum and Lachesis, both liver remedies, had seemed
to help him. He was given Chloroformum 30c, and later 200c, and he has been
practically free from asthma for over three years.11
Like Patel, Foubister made the observation that a constitutional remedy
would sometimes not act, even though well-indicated, until the obstacle to
cure caused by the influence of a past drug was removed.

A woman of twenty complained of bouts of colicky epigastric pains which began

at the age of eight. The attacks had become much more frequent and more severe
during the previous year. Investigations were all negative. Colocynthis 3x was
found to be an effective remedy in relieving the pains, but despite careful
constitutional treatment the number of attacks, about one in two weeks, was not
reduced. There was a strong family history of cancer and four siblings had been
helped by Carcinosinum. Carcinosinum adenostum 30c was given, but without
apparent effect. She was the only one of the family born under chloroform
anesthesia and on this fact, together with symptoms of liver dysfunction,
Chloroformum 30c was tried. The attacks cleared for three months and then
returned, but not so severely. Chloroformum 100c was given and followed by
practically complete freedom for over three years. She became pregnant, and
during pregnancy the colicky pains returned quite severely. She came to see me in
July 1962 and Chloroformum 200c wiped out the pains.12
Foubister explained:

Constitutional homoeopathic treatment consists mainly of prescribing on the

psychosomatic make-up of the patient and on the past history. The patient is
viewed against a background of a theoretical average person of the same age, sex
and social environment, and the salient mental and physical characteristics are
noted and matched by a remedy having a similar drug picture. One or more,
usually a number of remedies carefully chosen in this way can frequently restore
health when there are no insuperable pathological barriers.
Quite often the psychosomatically selected remedy can cover outstanding
episodes in the past, for example Natrum muriaticum when the patient has had
concussion, but sometimes it seems that it is necessary directly to antidote some
past event which greatly disturbed the patient’s health. The patient’s past history
and the family history are similarly viewed against the background of a
theoretical average family and personal history and outstanding features or
events are noted.
Then, if psychosomatic prescribing fails to produce satisfactory results, the past
history may lead to an appropriate remedy for that individual, or it may be
advisable to prescribe on the family or individual history when there are no clear
symptomatic indications for any one remedy right from the beginning. 13
Foubister was of the opinion that while “as a rule constitutional treatment can
deal with the after-effects of drugs once the drug has been excreted” there are
many circumstances where the administration of unproved potentized
medicines is justified when selected on the basis of events found in the
patient’s history:
Some years ago I treated a child suffering from an almost purely allergic type of
asthma. The attacks occurred about once a week on an average. The first attack
had been apparently caused by inhaling sulphur fumes. In this case the
constitutional remedy was Sulphur, which was given in the 30th, later the 200th,
potency at long intervals, repeating when there was a relapse. The child was
completely cured.14
A woman of forty-two developed psoriasis consisting of rounded areas about two
centimetres in diameter, widely distributed over her trunk and limbs, after
treatment for tonsillitis with sulphapyridine. Arsenicum album was prescribed
but without any effect and a month later she was given Sulphapyridine 30c. The
psoriasis cleared up completely and had not returned six years later. Many cases
of this kind have been reported in the homeopathic literature in respect of a wide
range of chemicals.15
Sometimes the child may be affected by drugs taken by the mother. In another
case previously recorded, a boy of 14 years of age was said by his teachers to be
intelligent but somehow “could not use his brain.” His mother had been taking
pethidine during pregnancy on account of osteomyelitis. The boy was given
Pethidine 30c and his ability to study shot up. 16
Foubister quoted a case by Charles C. Bowes in which a potency of the
chemical responsible for the illness was successful in curing:

A child of four years falling into short spells of unconsciousness, unable to control
the flow of urine day or night, was absolutely cured by a dose of Terebinthinum
1M. The history of the case was that the child had drunk a lot of turpentine when
eighteen months old and had gone from bad to worse ever since. She never had a
fit after that dose and gradually but quickly got over the enuresis. 17
The tautopathic method was used long before the 1950s when Everitt coined
the term. The method of using a higher potency to antidote the same drug in
a lower potency is really an example of tautopathy.

An interesting and little-understood phase of antidotal relationship is the power

of a higher potency to modify the action of the same drug in a lower potency. 18
The practice of “antidoting” the effects of drugs and homeopathic remedies
has been an important part of the skills of every homeopath since
Hahnemann’s time.

J. H. Clarke wrote:

It is often as important to be able to arrest a medicinal action as it is to start it. A

prescriber who cannot antidote a drug effect is like the driver of a motor who
cannot put on the brake.19
Most remedies under our materia medica list several other remedies and
various crude substances such as vegetable acids, camphor, coffee, salt, etc.,
that could antidote its effects along with other remedies and crude
substances that they themselves could antidote. The practice of antidoting
the crude substances with a potency of a substance in case of poisoning or a
sensitivity reaction was common knowledge, as the following quote shows:

Apparently, as usual, the crude poison is antidoted by its potencies, 200c, etc. 20
So wrote Margaret Tyler. Tyler treated the effects of aluminum exposure with
high potencies of Aluminum (A method not generally advisable. See Patel’s
statements on the subject,21 and my own explanation.22) Tyler was fully aware
of the dangers of aluminum cooking utensils, and reports on cases of
poisoning from these utensils. A trip to any “big box” store today in North
America will confirm how relevant her comments on the harm from
aluminum pots are today. A large number of cooking utensils are still being
made out of aluminum.
Even timelier are her comments on the adverse health effects people
sensitive to “emanations of aluminum-plated radiators” experience, not so
much because of the prevalence of these appliances today, but because the
number of people with sensitivities to multiple chemicals, including out-
gassing from common household appliances and products, has now reached
epidemic proportions.23 Her insight into these sensitivities reflects an
understanding of Hahnemann’s comments on dose and susceptibility during
proving,24 and a grasp of the plight of victims susceptible to various modern
artificial (environmental) disorders:
Effects of Sensitivities to Aluminium Emanations
Practical, anyway, this radiator! — light, bright, and gave out unusual heat. …Yet,
after a bit the room did not feel good; one was glad to turn it off. Why? Aluminium
pots were taboo; but the aluminium or aluminium plated radiator was not
suspect. Next what was happening? A curious vertigo; one eye suddenly went out
of focus, and one had to halt, at risk of falling; or when typing, one had to wait for
normal vision… etc… At last it dawned! — perhaps aluminium symptoms? – and
Materia Medica answered, “Yes” — soon confirmed by the fact that, the radiators
savagely smashed, the trouble rapidly disappeared. And when a once-time nurse
came to ask help because she was becoming paralysed, the symptoms she
detailed were with curious exactitude those one had spotted as symptoms of
aluminium emanations. Was she using one of those radiators? Well, the
housemaid where she was nursing had been leaving one of these radiators on in
her bedroom all day during this bitter weather.
…And so the poor soul departed reprieved and happy.
One yearns to say to many one meets, walking warily with the help of an
umbrella, “Pardon me, but have you got one of those splendid aluminium
radiators?”25
How lucky some are whose constitution is strong enough to throw off adverse
effect. Others are not so lucky. I have referred to this unfortunate
phenomenon in my article on the cancer diathesis.26 Homeopaths are experts
on the effects of noxious substances, and they have to look no further than a
materia medica for the information. The above quote also shows how a
homeopath can often recognize by the symptoms when a substance in the
patient’s environment has caused a disorder.
J. Compton Burnett, in a pamphlet on the interfering effects of anesthesia,
related how he found that anesthetized patients who had been drugged with
ether did not respond properly to homeopathic treatment. Not until he tried
antidoting the effects of ether in potency did the indicated remedy act. I read
his pamphlet decades ago and believe it is still in my possession, however, I
am unable to locate it for a citation.

One could argue that Burnett could have used vinegar, the antidote listed
under ether, but while vinegar is the proper antidote to the primary action of
the drug which lasts perhaps a few hours, the potency of ether was
considered the best antidote to the secondary action which could remain for
weeks in some, and even longer in others.

In Burnett’s time, most classically trained homeopaths knew how to antidote

a poisoning. While all medicine recognizes the primary action of a poison, only
homeopathy distinguishes between an antidote for the primary and the
secondary action of the toxin. A potency of the poison was often used to
antidote its secondary action.

For more information on this distinction, I would like to refer to Hahnemann’s

extensive explanations of the bi-phasal primary and secondary action of
drugs in many aphorisms of the Organon.27 He had observed that the primary
chemical action was opposed by a secondary action initiated by the dynamic
vital regulatory system, which frequently produced opposite symptoms.
Samuel Lillienthal mentions the secondary antidotes in his chapter on
poisoning:
For alkaline substances: 1) vinegar and water, in large quantities; 2) lemon-juice,
or acids from other fruits, diluted with much water; 3) sour milk; 4) mucilaginous
drinks, or injections. Vinegar is hurtful in cases of poisoning with barytes; but
Epsom salt, dissolved in water, renders good service; afterwards: camphor or nitri
spiritus dulcis. The secondary effects; of poisoning with potash require Coffea or
Carbo vegetabilis, and those of poisoning with spirits of ammonia, Hepar
sulphuris calcareum.28
A. Teste notes that the potentized drug antidotes the secondary effects of the
crude drug:

It is worthy of remark, that the dynamized coffee, as I can affirm from long
experience, prevents or neutralizes in many persons, the secondary effects of
roast coffee. This would seem confirmatory of the idiopathic method of
treatment.29
This distinction is important because when the potentized drug is used to
counter the crude drug, so long as the patient is still under the influence of
that drug, we can expect trouble.

Guernsey once proposed to antidote the effects of mercury with a high

potency of Mercurius solubilis “if all symptoms agree,” a potentially dangerous
endeavor, as experimental evidence has shown. In many cases where this has
been tried there were severe adverse reactions, and new symptoms
developed.30 This is likely related to the fact that the primary effects of
mercury are still present, because physiological quantities of mercury remain
in the tissues (see elsewhere in my writings and tutorials). Hahnemann
antidoted mercury symptoms with crude doses of Hepar sulphuris calcareum.31
Clarke, in his Dictionary discusses the history and danger of Pasteur’s rabies
vaccine and mentions that several cases had died after the vaccine. That
these complications were real is confirmed as late as the 1967 Merck Manual,
which cites that in as many as one in 2000 inoculations, the patient dies from
a serious adverse reaction causing a syndrome reminiscent of and sometimes
indistinguishable from rabies.32 Clarke proposed the use of a pharmacode
made from the Pasteur rabies vaccine to counteract the effects of the vaccine
in cases of serious neurological complications from the vaccine:
It would be well to have as an alternative preparation, Hydrophobinum
pasteurianum, obtained from Pasteur’s vaccine, to meet conditions similar to
these.33
A common antidote to the smallpox vaccine was Vaccininum. Homeopaths
were well aware of the complaints some patients reported having ever since
the inoculation. Thuja occidentalis and Malandrinum were additional antidotes
for the dyscrasia induced by the smallpox
vaccination. Malandrinum and Vaccininum have been used to counteract the
effects of the small pox vaccine. A tautopathic case of Vaccininum:
Mrs. G. A. took one dose of DM (Swan), and a second dose on October 22nd. On
October 29th, in morning, was taken with aching pains in back, worse in lumbar
region, extending round waist. Tired all over, with stretching, gaping feeling;
unnatural fatigue. Full feeling in head, with running at nose; severe headache in
vertex. On morning of 29th and afternoon of 31st slight coldness, followed by
fever; ditto between five and six P. M., November 2nd. Her rheumatic pains in
wrists and hands have gone since taking the medicine. Vaccininum in potency also
removed a chronic catarrh.34
Even serious conditions like cancer reportedly responded to the tautopathic
method:

Miss R. 64. History: Vaccinated thrice in infancy; all failed. Right breast and
cervical glands on both sides scirrhous. Marked general debility. Treatment
unsuccessful for four years until above information elicited. Feb. 2. 1939. Thuja
occidentalis. Temporary relief of pain. April 4. Variolinum. NO real benefit. May 29
and Aug. 13 Thuja occidentalis tried again. Very little help. Sept 18. Maland. Some
improvement for one month only. Nov. 13. Vaccininum 200c (1), 1M. (1), 10M. (1),
four-hourly. First month pain and nausea slightly decreased. Second month,
intense aggravations, but patient better in herself. Third month, general
improvement first fortnight. Then symptoms returning less severe. March 3, 1940.
Repeated Vaccinin. 200 (1), 1M. (1) 10M. (1), 4-hourly. April 1. Aggravations less
severe. On whole, better in herself. Whether this patient has the vitality to
maintain progress or not is still problematical.35
Under Malandrinum we read:
According to Jenner, the origin of cow-pox, is infection of the udders of cows by
contact with grass on which a horse infected with “Grease” has trodden. This
assertion is to some extent confirmed by the experience of homeopaths, who
have found in Malandrinum a very effectual protection against infection with
small-pox and against vaccination. Straube made provings of the 30th potency (H.
R., xv. 145; H. W., xxxv. 504). It has been used on inferential grounds with great
success in ill effects of vaccination (I have cured with it cases of unhealthy, dry,
rough skin remaining for years after vaccination); in small-pox, measles, and
impetigo. Burnett has cured with it a case of knock-knee in a child who was
constantly handling his penis.36
Reportedly some of the most brilliant homeopathic cures were tautopathic
cures. Stuart Close describes two remarkable cases:

Case No. 1. A case of uremic coma, gangrene, and apparent death

A woman, age 45, previously healthy, had been ill for over two months — an
illness of which I have never been able to form a very clear idea according to
accepted pathological standards — partly because I could never get a clear or
satisfactory previous history owing to the ignorance or inattention of the people
concerned. Perhaps I was not as scrupulous in my investigation of the history of
cases in the early days of my practice, when this case presented, as I
subsequently became, and am now. And, besides, the interest of this case for me
has never consisted so much in its pathology as in its psychology.
Roughly outlined, the case began as an eczema, affecting principally the lower
extremities. In the beginning of treatment by her allopathic family physician, she
did not appear to be seriously ill; but as treatment progressed she became more
and more ill and weak, and finally was confined to her bed. From this time on
there was a steady decline of weight and strength, of loss of interest in life, and of
hope, until she became apathetic, and finally comatose. Urinary secretion had
become more and more scanty until it ceased, and uremic coma came on. The
treatment had been mostly topical — consisting of the application of various
ointments and lotions for the eczematous areas, and, as I learned afterward, of
the free use of Arsenic internally. In consequence the eczema had been
suppressed, and the systemic symptoms developed.
For two days prior to my being called, she had been pronounced to be dying. On
the day I was called the physician had called early in the morning and said that
the end was very near. About noon he called again, and found her so nearly dead
that he said she could not possibly live more than an hour, and that he would not
call again.
At this juncture I was appealed to by her daughter, who had been a patient of
mine, to come and see if I could do anything. I arrived about one o’clock in the
afternoon. As I entered the room, I saw her lying on the bed surrounded by
weeping relatives. Someone said: “It’s too late, doctor, she’s gone.”
At first glance it looked that way, but something impelled me to go to her and
make an effort to save her. Paying no attention to the relatives, I made a rapid
examination. Her limbs were cold and rigid, but the body was still warm. There
was no radial pulse, and no visible respiration. With the unaided ear I could
detect no heart-beat, but in my haste I had forgotten to bring my stethoscope.
Her eyes were fixed, the lids slightly open, and her features had the expression of
death. But the thought of death was not in my mind in spite of the evidence.
I drew down her lower lip and shook a few pellets of Arsenicum album 45M
(Fincke) upon the exposed mucous membrane and rubbed her lips against the
gum. Then, following a peculiar, but impelling impulse, I seated myself on the
edge of the bed, placed my hands upon her head, and called her loudly by name.
Addressing the insensible form, I said positively, “You are not going to die. You
must come back.” I moved her head slightly from side to side, to loosen the
rigidity of the neck muscles. Placing my thumbs on her upper eyelids, and pushing
them upward so as to fully open her eyes, I bent down close to her, looking
directly into the eyes, and addressed her again with reassuring words. I said, “I
am going to help you move. You must try with me.” Several times I opened and
closed her eyelids, and rotated her head. Then I said, “Now open your eyes.” There
was a moment of hesitation, then the lids trembled and slowly opened. “Now
close them.” She obeyed, and repeated the act twice at my command. Then I
proceeded to move her stiffened arms and legs — flexing and extending them
several times, and gently manipulating them. Next I moved her body, turning her
from her back to one side and then the other, shifting her position in bed. During
this time I was speaking to her occasionally in encouraging tones. After thus
loosening up the rigid muscles, I resorted for a few moments to very gentle
artificial respiration, directing her at the same time to try to breathe herself.
After about ten or fifteen minutes of this work (I had very little sense of time) she
was breathing regularly, color was coming back into her face and lips, and her
hands were becoming warm. Presently she opened her eyes and looked at me as I
bent over her, and whispered to me, “I’m coming back.”
In ten minutes more she was talking to me in an audible voice, asking me
questions about herself and what had happened. I had continued gentle rubbing
and massage of the extremities, under the bedclothes, but in order to act more
efficiently, I now uncovered her feet, and to my amazement saw that the toes and
plantar surface of the metatarsal region of both feet were gangrenous. Then I felt
sure she had been dead! Here was local death, at any rate, plainly visible. But my
patient was now plainly alive, and very much interested in what was going on. I
had difficulty in keeping her quiet, and preventing her from talking. I directed
that she be kept quiet, and that some warm broth be prepared and given to her,
that warmth be applied to the feet and legs; and that Arsenicum album 200c in
solution be given at intervals of two hours, until my next call.
In the evening I called again, and found her in a high fever, with flushed face,
sparkling eyes, active delirium, recognizing no one, but talking continually in an
excited manner, and very restless. Reaction had come on with a vengeance, but
the symptoms spelled Belladonna, and salvation. For eight days the fever and
delirium continued, but the urinary function was re-established, and a diarrhoea
came on. The circulation became active, the gangrenous areas on the feet
sloughed out, healthy granulations appeared, and healing progressed rapidly. On
the ninth day the delirium left her. Her first intelligent words were a request that
I be sent for at once. She had something to tell me which she would not reveal to
her family. On my arrival she asked me how long she had been sick, and then said
that she had sent for me to tell me her experience “while she was dead.” It was all
clear in her mind now, and she wanted to tell me before she forgot it.
She said that after lying for several days unconscious of her surroundings, but
“alive in her mind” her father and mother (who had been dead many years) came
for her to take her away with them. She had left her body and was just about to
leave the room with them when she heard me call her to come back. She felt that
she could not disobey me, and regretfully left her father and mother and came
back. The next she remembered was opening her eyes and seeing me, and talking
to me. Then all became blank again, and she had no sense of time or surroundings
until the present.
That was her story. She made an uneventful recovery, gradually regaining her
strength until she finally resumed her ordinary round of life. She is alive today, a
strong, healthy woman. That was over twenty years ago. I meet her occasionally,
and she never fails to remind me of “the time when she died and I called her
back.”
Was it a case of poisoning by Arsenic and other drugs?  37
Case No. 2. Collapse after operation
A man, 66 years of age, naval constructor, had suffered several years from what
had been diagnosed and treated by a homoeopathic physician as cystitis with
enlarged prostate. He came under my care during an acute exacerbation of his
trouble, brought on by taking cold from getting wet. He was much weakened by
his long chronic illness, and was in a grave condition when I first saw him. Urine
could only be voided by catheterization. Urinary analysis and microscopical
examination of the urinary sediment, taken in connection with the symptoms,
suggested the existence of a vesical calculus. This was confirmed by the sound, as
soon as the acute symptoms had subsided sufficiently under treatment, to permit
its use. Rectal exploration did not reveal any extensive enlargement of the
prostate. Operation was advised and accepted, and patient was removed to the
hospital as soon as he was deemed strong enough. The supra-pubic operation was
performed by Dr. John Hubley Schall and myself. A large, rather friable stone, of
phosphatic composition, was found, partly embedded in the tissue surrounding
the neck of the bladder, which was greatly thickened and indurated. Several small
papillomatous growths were also found in the bladder. The stone, and the largest
of the growths near the neck of the bladder were removed. The patient bore the
operation well, and everything went well until the third day after the operation
when the secretion of urine suddenly ceased, paresis of the intestines came on,
the abdomen rapidly inflated, and the patient went into collapse.
While awaiting for my arrival the nurse, on her own responsibility, administered a
copious hot saline enema and applied heat to the extremities. I found him in
extremis; deathlike pallor and expression, pulseless, extremities cold, abdomen
enormously distended and tympanitic, almost unconscious.
I was unable to account for the sudden collapse, and there was nothing in the
symptoms absolutely characteristic of any one remedy. The ordinary collapse
remedies, Camphora, Arsenicum album, Veratrum album, and Carbo vegetabilis
ran through my mind, but I was unable to decide which, if any, was needed. I
dared not make a random selection. A mistake would be fatal. I vainly questioned
the nurse for more symptoms, until I bethought me of asking her, “What had the
enema brought away from the bowels?” Her answer was illuminating. “The water,
with a lot of ragged shreds and strings of white mucous.”
That completed the picture. Persons poisoned by Colchicum have presented
identical symptoms. Colchicum 200c, in solution, every five minutes, brought
about a reaction in about fifteen minutes; circulation was restored, flatus
passed freely, consciousness returned, urine began to flow again, and the
patient made a rapid and perfect recovery. I was glad that the nurse had
given that enema, and noted what came away. 38
Another remarkable cure with tautopathy by Chaffee:

I found him bleeding from the bitten finger, and from eyes, nose, ears, mouth,
rectum and urethra; pulse 110, small, wiry; respiration 40; temperature 105;
haggard expression; whole body bathed in hot perspiration; delirium.
This patient had had the regular routine treatment of whisky, quinine and
carbonate ammonia for ninety-six hours, when the attendants withdrew and
pronounced the case beyond the reach of medical aid. A marked characteristic
symptom was a mouldy smell of breath, with scarlet red tongue, and difficult
swallowing. Great sensitiveness of skin of right half of body, so much so that the
slightest touch would produce twitching of muscles of that side. I prescribed
Crotalus horridus, 30th trituration, 30 gr. in four ounces of water, a teaspoonful
every hour, until my return visit, twenty-four hours later, when I found marked
improvement.
Temperature normal; pulse full, soft and regular; delirium gone; saliva and urine
slightly tinged with blood; appetite returning, he having asked for food for the
first time since the accident. The medicine was continued for two more days,
when recovery was practically complete. 39
Clark also mentions that the adverse effects of medical x-rays and radiation
therapy were removed by X-ray and Radium bromatum:
Dieffenbach, who had been investigating Radium for ten years before he
published his pamphlet, records that as a result of former X-ray and Radium-ray
experiments one prover’s hands had, when the proving commenced, eczematous
eruptions, cracks, scaly excrescences, and wart-like outcroppings. After his
proving with 6x these gradually disappeared. This is confirmed by a case reported
to me by Mr. E. S. Pierrepont.
A girl employed in the X-ray Department of the hospital with which he is
connected developed dermatitis of the right hand and fingers. An ointment was
prescribed without benefit, and cracks appeared on the skin. Two doses of
Radium bromatum 30c were given, on Mr. Pierrepont’s suggestion, one in the
morning and one in the evening. The following day the patient came out in a rash,
which the matron mistook for measles, eyes watering, fingers very sore, and she
felt very ill. By the following day the rash had disappeared and she felt well. The
fingers were now better, and they got quite well, except that a sore feeling was
left after washing.
A noticeable feature of both Dieffenbach’s proving and mine was the
disappearance of small naevi, which is significant, seeing that the rays are used
for the destruction of naevi. Among the most successful local uses of Radium may
be mentioned cases of lupus, epithelioma, carcinoma of the cervix uteri, and
urethral carbuncle. That radium, like x-rays, can cause as well as cure cancer is on
record.
I have quoted a case (H. W., August 1923) in a practitioner who contracted
squamous-celled carcinoma from a careless handling of Radium tubes. Cases of
cure of skin cases with Radium in potencies are numerous.  40
Dewey reports on the use of the tautopathic method for the treatment of
allergies. He cites Hahnemann’s awareness of the individual differences in
sensitivity and susceptibility, that “all persons were not affected by a
medicine in an equally great degree” during proving. 41
Hahnemann had described “idiosyncrasies” that predisposed some to have
serious hypersensitivity reactions to foods and plants even without exhibiting
any other chronic illness:

Some persons are apt to faint from smell of roses and to fall into many other
morbid and sometimes dangerous states from partaking of mussels, crabs, and
fish roe, or from touching the leaves of some kinds of sumach.  42
Kent discussed how the susceptibility to drugs varied greatly between
individuals — cases of dangerous congestion after opium in some patients,
others developing “quininism” even from small doses of quinine. 43
While Hahnemann did not describe a treatment other than homeopathic for
these, homeopaths experimented with the tautopathic method by giving the
allergen in potentized form, often with success. Dewey reports about
homeopaths in the 1870s who treated food allergies with the potentized foods
themselves, having results in both treatment and prevention, or many
apparent cures of the specific sensitivity:

Dr. Samuel Swan, and Dr. Thomas Wildes of New York and Dr. P. P. Wells of
Brooklyn and many others in the latter “seventies” reported many cases of
supersensitiveness to various foods, among which was a case where common
garden celery when eaten produced itching, changing locality frequently and
other disagreeable symptoms. Apium graveolens (Celery) in a high potency
removed the condition and permitted the patient to ever afterwards eat celery
with no untoward effects.
People exist who cannot eat strawberries. These susceptible individuals suffer
from urticarial rashes, sometimes difficulty in breathing as if a weight were on
the chest. Potentized Fragaria vesica relieved at once. This was first advocated
perhaps by Dr. W. P. Wesselhoeft of Boston and amply verified by Drs. Swan, and
Wells. The writer used it successfully in a case having similar symptoms whenever
strawberries, of which she was most fond, were eaten. Fragaria vesica in a high
potency not only removed the condition, but so completely that the patient was
ever after able to eat strawberries without symptoms for the remainder of her
life, which ended some 30 years subsequent.
There are numerous cases of over susceptibility to Apis poisoning which is
remedied by taking Apis mellifica in minimum doses. Bee keepers and those who
handle bees are rendered immune, and do not mind or suffer from bee stings, nor
do they produce swellings or edema when the person is thus immunized.” 44
Apparently some patients recovered permanently from tautopathic
treatment alone, and no additional treatment such as constitutional
treatment is mentioned.

Dewey also acknowledged the use of constitutional treatment for allergies.

He declared the action of the tautopathic medicine is simply homeopathic. He
points out that many foods that can cause disease are in our material medica
and have even been proven. I count 86 food remedies in Boericke alone. 45
Dewey mentions several positive results:
In 1867 Adolf Lippe had a case of chronic poisoning by cane sugar (in other words
a super sensitiveness to this substance). He removed it completely by Saccharum
officinalis. (Hahn. Mo. Oct. 1867.)
A case of Quininism cured by Cinchona sulphuricum in high potency. (Organon Vol.
iii p. 208.)
The susceptibility to parsley can be cured by Petroselinum 30c, says Dr. James W.
Ward, one of our best and most careful observers.
Asthma from eating scallops cured by Pectin (Pectens jacobaeus), which in a high
potency cured permanently.
Asthma due to susceptibility to the proteid substance in eggs, cured by repeated
doses of Egg White. (Boericke’s Materia Medica p. 491).
I have personally cured many cases of hay fever due to the rag-weed by Ambrosia
artemisiaefolia in potency. The pharmaceutical houses of today are making much
capital out of the pollen extracts of the various hay fever producing plants.
The hypersensitiveness to Rhus poisoning has been removed many times by the
use of Rhus toxicodendron, and why it does not relieve in all cases is simply owing
to a difference in sensitiveness in different people and to the many varieties of
the plant.
It has been clinically observed that allergic persons are less susceptible to
contagious and infectious diseases. (Ward.)  46
Dewey did not see much of a difference between homeopathic cures and
isopathic cures, or isopathic treatment for the prevention of infectious
diseases, a subject he covers elsewhere in this book. Like many others, he felt
that once all of these agents have been proven, it will become evident that
the action of all isopathic treatment is simply homeopathic:

A study of epidemic remedies which physicians have often reported will be

explained along similar paths, also constitutional remedies, and it will be found
that SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURANTUR is the law of all curative medicine.  47
He was of the opinion that held that isopathic (and tautopathic) treatment
was homeopathy, so long as it was done in potency – plain and simple. He
quotes Swan:

Isopathy would give raw cucumbers to a person made sick by eating cucumbers
and would make him worse. Homeopathy would give him Cucumis in a high
potency and not only cure the patient but also enable him to eat cucumbers with
no untoward symptoms.  48
This position avoided the controversy surrounding the tautopathic method.
The real controversy was about the method of selection of the remedy, not
the remedy’s action. This distinction was also made by J. Compton Burnett in
his famous remark:

I maintain that choosing the remedies according to the totality of the symptoms
is only one way of finding the right remedy; and, moreover, sometimes totally
inadequate.
You may find the right remedy once in a way according to the old doctrine of
signatures; and, even though so found, it acts homeopathically; the way of
choosing is poor and crude, but it is a way.
You may find the right remedy by organ-testing after the manner of Paracelsus,
and the remedy acts homeopathically although found that way.
You may find the right remedy purely hypothetically, after the manner of Von
Grauvogl and Schüssler, the mode of action remains the same, i.e., homeopathic.
You may use dynamized salt — Natrum muriaticum — to cure marine cachexia,
sea side neuralgia, sea-side headache, and the like, and still the action of the
remedy is homeopathic.  49
Objections and Controversy
Many homeopaths frowned on the use of the isopathic (tautopathic) method.
Some objected to prescription on the basis of the patient’s history or a cause.
This method was to them a deviation from “homeopathic” selection on the
basis of symptoms.

Others uttered philosophical objections on the distinction between similarity

and identity:

Isopathy is not homeopathy; we must keep this distinction ever before us.
Isopathy is identity; homoeopathy rests its whole case on the similarity, and in
the degree of its perfection we may be sure of the results. 50
One can’t help but wonder why the identical should not represent an increase
in perfection over the mere similar, even representing the simillimum, as
Hahnemann had observed.51
The controversy surrounding isopathy among homeopathic physicians was
often directed at the use of potentized drugs to treat diseases, “by name”
rather than by symptoms or “homeopathic” indications. They considered this
approach an allopathic approach. Many of these physicians had left the
allopathic school in favor of the homeopathic one and viewed as traitors
anyone in their midst who defected back to allopathy.
The opponents of tautopathy launched tirades against those who looked into
the isopathic innovations. Attacks were conducted ad hominem.  They were
naming names:
Gross, whose homeopathic career has been distinguished by a marked propensity
for novelty-hunting, seems to have become at once deeply enamored of the
isopathic theory.
He says the simile is not exactly the right thing, and that for some time he has
been convinced that equalia equalibus or the isopathic principle is the correct
one, and that similia similibus or the homeopathic principle is only a makeshift or
indifferent apology for the other.52
Another verbal attack against a homeopathic colleague, the well-known
veterinary Professor Wilhelm Lux:

On the appearance of this book of master Lux’s, Dr. Hering, the original suggester
of the heresy, wrote a counterblast against poor Lux, and contended that in all
these remedial means there was no question of a deviation from the homeopathic
principle; that this was still homeopathy and not isopathy, and that the most that
could be said was that the curative agent was a simillimum, but certainly not an
equale or idem. He, like Hering, will not admit that the morbid product is an idem
but only a simillimum, and therefore the practice with these remarkable
medicaments is still homeopathy and not isopathy.  53
The very mention of the word isopathy incurred the wrath of some
homeopaths. Yet despite all the rhetoric, the only adverse effects the
detractors of tautopathy could cite from the method were political storms
resulting among various homeopathic organizations and especially for
individuals seeking recognition by the prestigious AIH Intercollegiate Council:

The gravest difficulties arose when Professors Pease and Sawyer promulgated the
use of high potencies of a drug to antidote possible effects of crude drugging in
the patient’s history. The empirical and routine use of nosodes, mercury, cigarette
smoke, and even semen to antidote possible “drug miasms” invoked the wrath of
the profession. Accusing the college of teaching ‘antidotalism’ and isopathy, a
clandestine sub-committee, including Drs. Copeland and James C. Wood, denied
Dunham recognition by the AIH Intercollegiate Council. 54
Apparently there is nothing new under the sun. The attacks against
homeopaths who dared to use remedies on causative rather than
homeopathic indications sometimes took on religious overtones and outright
defamation:
We have seen how the monstrous isopathic heresy for awhile seduced a number
of the flighty minds amongst us, and more recently we have seen a crowd of
respectable practitioners lending a willing ear to the vagaries of a lunatic
horsetrainer.55
Some of this explains why those practitioners who had experimented with
tautopathy and who had good reason to defend their brilliant results were
often very cautious, even apologetic, in presenting their views.

Kent who opposed the method even tried to rationalize the apparent success
of the tautopathic method with the claim that if it worked it must have been
the patient’s constitutional remedy:

We have seen that Rhus cures the patient of his sensitiveness to Rhus as well long
after as before he was poisoned by it. This is not Isopathy, as it was not Rhus that
was cured, but the patient, and it was simply pointed out to the intelligent
physician by the accidental poisoning wherein Rhus was pointed to as one of the
medicines that he is sensitive to; it being fully understood that the patient is
always highly sensitive to his needed medicine. This, therefore, is but a centering
of a complex of symptoms in a homeopathic problem.56
For fear of being excommunicated by their peers, many homeopaths during
the classical era would shun isopathy, let alone admit to have used the
method in their practice, with few exceptions.

Stuart Close clarifies his views in response to a rhetorical attack on isopathy

by Edmond Carlton:

Dr. Carleton is mistaken in his premise. Hahnemann does not condemn the use of
Psorinum, nor of any other drug, from any source whatever, so long as its
selection is based upon the Law of Similars, and it is given in potentiated form. He
declares, in the paragraph quoted, that the Psorinum is not used on the isopathic
principle, but because it is the simillimum. The action is based upon the
homeopathic principle. When we recognize a group of symptoms as portraying
and calling for the use of Arsenicum album, it is our duty to give Arsenicum album
in potentiated form. It makes no difference whether arsenic in crude form has
been given or not. But it may help us to a quicker solution of the problem to
ascertain that as a matter of fact crude arsenic has been given. 57
The paragraph in question in the above remark is, of course, the one we cited
above from Hahnemann’s Chronic Diseases. It has been cited in support of
tautopathy (isopathy) for more than a century. According to Hahnemann, the
“identical” (ταυτόν) when given in potency is no longer identical but the most
similar thing to the substance causing the disorder. This means it should be
the most homeopathic remedy – the simillimum. The paragraph reads as
follows:
Thus potentized and modified also, the itch substance (Psorinum) when taken is
no more an idem (same) with the crude original itch substance, but only a
simillimum (thing most similar). For between idem and simillimum there is no
intermediate for any one that can think; or in other words between idem and
simile only simillimum can be intermediate. Isopathic and aequale are equivocal
expressions, which if they should signify anything reliable can only signify
simillimum, because they are not idem (tauton, as it is termed.) 58
With the onset of industrialization that brought a massive increase in
exposure to allopathic drugs, environmental poisons, radiation and other
irritants, the need for the tautopathic methodology of antidoting these
artificially induced disorders became increasingly apparent to homeopaths.
Grimmer, a protégé of Kent wrote:

Many times unhappy and disappointing results follow a truly homeopathic

prescription in these days of universal drugging, processed and adulterated foods,
poisoned water supplies (chlorine, fluorine, etc.), polluted air (carbon dioxide and
monoxide gases from automobile engines, poisonous and noxious wastes from
manufacturing and chemical plants of all kinds, etc.), to say nothing of the latest
menace to the inhabitants of the world from the atomic radiations that have
already impregnated the atmosphere of the earth from the explosions of the
atomic and hydrogen bombs set off by the United States and Soviet Russia.
In a general way the things just mentioned are among the hindrances to the
action of the homeopathic remedy and are often difficult to control or antidote. In
recent months in my practice I have found remedies like Phosphorus, Radium
bromatum and X-ray in potency, more frequently indicated and very helpful in
clearing the cases and paving the way for complimentary remedies that may be
needed to complete the cure. It seems that rad iation influences are already at
work.59
The problems of radiation, poisoned food and water, air pollution, car
exhaust, hazardous waste, and universal drugging have gotten exponentially
worse since Grimmer wrote these paragraphs.

Despite predictions that tautopathy would be a passing phenomenon, the

method survived into the modern era. Apparently some homeopaths even
take the tautopathic paradigm for granted: in one modern pathogenetic trial,
the tautopathic method was used to test whether the remedy in question had
been defective. The tautopathic treatment confirmed that the preparations
were active:

Surprisingly, only very trivial symptoms were produced by the provers, even after
making a renewed attempt by taking a fresh preparation. To rule out the
possibility of a defective preparation and to reconfirm that the symptoms,
produced by two of the victims, were definitely due to Parthenium, it was given in
6x and 30x to two of the victims on an isopathic basis. It was then observed that
the symptoms of the victims started disappearing. Under the circumstances it
was concluded that this particular drug was not producing more symptoms when
taken orally, but was producing symptoms when an individual came in contact
with the pollen and when the respiratory tract was affected by inhaling the
pollen. When grading the symptoms, this particular phenomenon was kept in
mind.60
It was not the purpose of this paper to examine in detail the reasons for the
peculiar objections to tautopathy. Among the most persistent objection was
the charge that tautopathy was not homeopathic, that it was a deviation
from homeopathy, in outright opposition to Hahnemann’s viewpoint that the
tautopathic potency was the simillimum.

Yet even in the modern era, we still encounter the same, almost habitual
rejection and a priori bias against the isopathic/tautopathic method implied
by the following discussion of a case of Agent Orange-induced lymphoma:
Have you had experience using isopathy in cases like this, or has anyone in the
audience had a positive outcome with a case like this, involving a clear poisoning
(diagnosed as Agent Orange-induced lymphoma)?
It’s an approach I think a lot of people use when they’re up against the wall,
without a better approach. And sometimes it works. I’ve had some cases,
involving the DPT vaccine for example. Others have used potentized penicillin,
cortisone, and so on. The idea of using potentized Agent Orange did come up for
me. But I’m very glad that I prescribed as I did. It’s not absolutely certain that
Agent Orange caused the lymphoma. But the VA felt it was the causative agent.
The man was massively exposed to it. He was cleaning out the vats every day and
it was all over him….
It’s interesting that Ceanothus, which is a remedy that was introduced long before
Agent Orange was even compounded, worked so beautifully for this case. To me, it
means that we don’t need to resort to isopathy in most cases. The remedies that
we have will work, even for these modern environmental toxicities. 61
Why say, “resort to isopathy”? The evidence presented over one hundred
years of use shows remarkable cures. It also shows that when tautopathy is
used, the constitutional remedies work better because it removes an obstacle
to cure. The obstacle in this case is the poisoning. The remedy most similar to
the poison is the simillimum to the case at that time — the potentized poison.
The evidence shows while the similis helps, the simillimum cures.
Conclusion
The record shows that classical homeopaths used tautopathy successfully to
remove syndromes produced by drugs, chemical poisons, animal and plant
poisons; allergic reactions; and even proving symptoms caused by
homeopathic remedies. Some homeopaths used the method to remove the
influence of drugs taken by the patient in the past, when this influence
interfered with or prevented the use of regular constitutional treatment long
after the drugs or poison had been discontinued.

The arguments against tautopathy were expressed with much rhetoric, but
fell short on facts. Most seem to be mere repetitions of tired old clichés
previously heard from others; some appear to be mere sophistry. Where
original formal arguments were presented, they constituted a
priori objections, without considering any evidence either against or in favor
of any clinical merit of the tautopathic methodology. In all cases presented
here and in many others reviewed but not presented, not one single objection
could be found that made mention or presented any evidence of failures or
lack of positive results, or of any harm or negative effects, from the
tautopathic method.
The literature review found enough clinical evidence to consider tautopathy a
serious potential adjunct treatment to homeopathy. In fact, this is what I
have found in my own practice with my own tautopathic experimentation
beginning around 1990. In some conditions, especially in the ever growing
epidemic of environmental and food allergies, anaphylactic reactions, acute
and chronic poisoning, adverse drug reactions and drug overdoses, insect
stings, animal bites, chronic pharmacogenic disorders, radiation poisoning,
radiation-induced injury, electrical injuries, including lightning injury,
chemical and electrosensitivity, drug and alcohol addiction and abuse, and to
counter environmental syndromes like microwave irradiation syndrome,
tautopathy promises to be an important strategy alongside conventional
homeopathic treatment.
I have additionally observed that aggravations during constitutional
treatment from past influence of medications and toxins can be removed
safely and rapidly with the tautopathic pharmacode. These aggravations can
also be avoided altogether with tautopathic pretreatment.

Modern scientific studies have been conducted on the clinical results of

tautopathy. It would undoubtedly be worthwhile to review the existing
research and evidence from the modern era of homeopathy on tautopathy,
and examine if the evidence corroborates the observations of the many
homeopathic physicians and practitioners on the clinical efficacy of the
tautopathic method.
