Dosing
Mistakes and obstacles
The faults in preparation the literature names most often, and the outside influences it says can stall or undo a dose.
Faults in preparation
| Fault | Why it matters | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Someone else’s saliva or breath got in | Mixed information “would no longer be effective” | New bottle; mask when preparing for others; nobody else present |
| Kissed just before preparing | A reported case: daily headaches after a husband and son kissed the woman before she prepared | New bottle; nothing touching the mouth beforehand |
| Bottle reused for another person | Cross-contamination through the “memory of glass” | One bottle per person, always |
| Bottle older than three months | The glass memory “reduces the effect” | Replace it |
| Same bottle after a big drop in volume | The glass “would retain the higher potency” | New bottle when stepping down far |
| Prana made in a bottle that once held breath or saliva | Bodily information in the prana bottle | A separate bottle for prana |
| Chlorinated tap water, mineral or sparkling water, ionized water | Water “takes on” additives or fields | Still spring water, distilled water or a solid carbon filter |
| Toothpaste, food, drink, smoking or cosmetics too soon before | Foreign information in the sample | Follow the waiting times on each protocol page |
| Using a phone beforehand | Every leaflet now asks for no mobile phone (1 to 2 hours) | Put it away first |
| Improvised vessel (bottle cap, cup) | Unknown potency; “no lasting results” in the founder’s experience | The autopathy bottle |
| Funnel allowed to run dry for long periods | The leaflets ask for a standing level “most of the time” | Pour steadily; switch water bottles quickly |
| Touching the inside of the funnel | Contamination | Handle by the outside only |

Faults in dosing
- Raising the volume too fast. The founder’s most common finding in failed self-treatment (2026): people “do not determine in advance… the minimum period needed to observe the effects” and increase “after just the first few days”. See Dosing.
- Changing several things at once, so that nothing can be judged.
- Dropping to a low volume for a “small” problem after a high one has worked. “We never lower it.”
- Staying too long on boiled preparations after they stop helping (or, in some people, stopping them too early). See Boiled saliva.
- Combining methods above 30 l.
- Forgetting to repeat. A 2023 case report is titled “Forgetting autopathy: a case of unnecessary suffering”. Forgetting autopathy
Influences that stall or cancel a dose
The founder calls these “antidotes” or obstacles:
- Events: dental work, injury, surgery, childbirth, vaccination, critical life situations, a shock. Response: repeat the last working dose promptly.
- Medication: “ill-considered application of antibiotics, corticoids”. Regular medication is a reason for more frequent dosing, not for stopping the medication.
- Other therapies at the same time: he reports a student whose progress broke down while also using “other alternative therapies, which most likely interfered”. He combines autopathy with classical homeopathy himself, at times.
- “Parasites” and microorganisms: his rationale for the boiled methods. See Principles.
- Acidity: in his 2010 and 2011 cases he sometimes added sodium bicarbonate in water to raise saliva pH. This is not part of the method; see Safety.
- Lifestyle and surroundings, in general terms, when nothing else explains a stall.

What does not matter, according to the founder
- Your thoughts and beliefs while preparing. “What you think while doing it does not matter at all.” 2026
- Precise measurement in prana. “There is no need to measure anything, all is approximate.”
- Overfilling the funnel. “Overfilling the funnel is not a problem.”
- A white deposit left by boiled saliva. “Still works.”
- Feeling nothing. A woman who felt nothing after a breath preparation still had her flu pass “within two days”, in the founder’s account.
