Definitions
The term tautopathy was introduced into homeopathy to One of my observations both in the literature and from distinguish it from isopathy. The word isopathy is commonly conversations with modern homeopaths, is that there exists used for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases some confusion with regards to the definition of certain ter- with a product of that disease.

With this in mind, I present the following clarifica- 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 P. Sankaran informed us that Mr Dudley Wooton Ever- word νόϭος (nosos) = disease or sickness.

Tautopathy usually refers to treatment of an artificial If a homeopathic physician prescribes on the totality of disorder with a micro-dose or potency of the drug or toxic symptoms without considering the symptoms or bad effects of agent that caused that disorder. I have coined the term “phar- drug diseases of previous medication, he is going to fail, no macode” 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 Patel noticed that not only could he remove the symp- also used for both isopathy and tautopathy and the term isode toms of the drugs with the tautopathic method, which would make it easier to find an indicated homeopathic remedy, but Isopathy derives from the Greek word ισοσ (isos), mean- ing equal or same, which was generally used in the sense of no need of prescribing any other homoeopathic drug as in “equal amounts” and is therefore a misnomer.
