Situations
Children, pregnancy, older people, animals
The adjustments the literature makes for people who cannot prepare for themselves, for pregnancy and age, and for animals.
Preparing for someone else
The same rules apply in every case where you prepare for another person:
- You wear a mask (or folded scarf) over mouth and nose throughout, including while collecting saliva or breath.
- Their bottle, never yours or anyone else’s.
- Nobody else present.
- For any boiled method the preparer must be an adult.
Children and infants
Collecting the information
| Child | How the literature collects it |
|---|---|
| Can spit | Saliva into the funnel as usual; the founder notes a child who “refused to spit into the bottle, but enjoyed the bubbling action” |
| Can blow but not through the nose | Breath through the mouth into the short tube (“exceptionally breath from the mouth, for example with children”) |
| Cannot spit or blow | One drop of saliva with a sterile, unused dropper, put on the inner wall of the funnel |
| Infant | The chilled empty bottle: one hour in the fridge in its sleeve, then held to the nose so the breath mists the inside, then the water poured through |
| Any age | Prana needs nothing from the child; the bottle is held above the head |

Methods and volumes
- Nursing infants: the founder starts with unboiled breath or saliva. Step by step
- Children generally: there is no separate children’s volume table; the vitality rules apply. Across the 27 reviewed case reports that involve a child and give a volume, the starting volume has a median of 3 l and the highest volume reached a median of 9 l; a few older children with long histories went to 30 l or more. A nine-month-old with a haemangioma started on 2 l boiled breath every other day. Haemangioma
- High fever in children: 6 l boiled saliva, repeated every few hours or once. Detoxication II
- Observation period: “some cases of low vitality in children” fall in the 6 to 21 day band. Observation period
The case library lists 29 reports involving children.
Pregnancy and birth
The founder reports using autopathy in pregnancy for yeast infection (boiled saliva, 1 l daily the first week, 2 l the second, 3 l twice the third, then 3 l unboiled breath once or twice a week until birth) and in cases of infertility. In a 2020 report a woman applied 3 l BSB two weeks before her due date, as recommended, which turned out to be the day before birth. After giving birth, he regards repeating the last working potency “almost a must”, because “birth is usually a stressful event”.

Boiled methods use a flame and boiling water in glass: see Safety.
Older people
- Start low: 1 to 1.5 l for low vitality, 3 l for acute illness in people over 50. Autopathy and flu
- Watch longer: people over 75 with moderately serious chronic illness are in the 21-days-or-more observation band. Observation period
- Raise cautiously: a consultant writing in 2026 on very high potencies: “I would be very cautious with elderly people and also with people of low vitality. I therefore emphasize that it is always necessary to increase cautiously and gradually.” High potencies 2, 2026
The founder also tells of a woman who gave her bedridden 80-year-old grandmother 50 l of saliva “because there was nothing to lose”; he presents it as “an exception” that “confirms a rule, which is still valid. In low vitalities we start with 1.5 l water.”
Animals
Animals appear in the literature from 2009, prepared by their owners.
| Method | How it was done | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Chilled empty bottle, breath | The method was discovered by a woman preparing for her dog; a guinea pig’s breath taken this way, boiled, and 0.5 l poured through | Methods and strategies; Guinea pig |
| Boiled saliva | A dog with subcutaneous lumps: 5 l a day, raised to 10 l a day (5 minutes under a filter) | Nodules in a dog |
| Breath, then saliva | A dog with an autoimmune thyroid condition, every other day, then at longer intervals | Our dog |
| Prana | Bottle held 5 to 10 cm above the head of a sleeping dog “at around the root of the spine” for 2 minutes; applied along the chakras | Dog’s fear of fireworks |
| Prana 1 | 2 l daily, then every second day, for an old dog’s chronic vomiting | Prana 5 |
| Urine | Collected from a dog by its owner | Canine cancer |
In the guinea pig report the drops went on the muzzle. The preparer wears a mask (one also wore gloves). The case library has 9 animal reports, including a mare and two ponies.
Acute illness
The founder reports fewer recurrences after acute illness is met with autopathy, and gives these figures for colds, flu and fever:
- 6 l, a single dose, for most people;
- 3 l repeated every 2 hours for people over 50 or with serious internal disease;
- recently he often boils the saliva in such cases;
- after an injury, start with unboiled breath or saliva.
“In autopathic treatment it is always necessary to distinguish between a truly acute problem and what might be an acute aggravation of a chronic state.” Several of his acute case reports describe paracetamol or ibuprofen given alongside. Autopathy and flu; Step by step
