About My Guest:

Marcus Fernandez is the founder and principal of The Centre for Homeopathic Education and has been practicing and teaching homeopathy for the last twenty-six years. Marcus felt there wasn’t yet a homeopathic training course that offered its students an in-depth understanding of both classical and practical modern approaches to homeopathy. He wanted to make homeopathy accessible to all by offering short courses for complete beginners and longer-term licentiate practitioner degree level courses for those who would like to become professional homeopaths. He is passionate about facilitating a community for homeopaths and those who are interested in homeopathy. CHE does this by regularly organizing seminars, conferences, webinars, and postgraduate training courses and by creating an active community on Facebook.

In this episode, we reunite with Jiri Cehovsky, the esteemed founder of the Prague Homeopathic Academy and a renowned author in the field of autopathy. Jiri guides us on a captivating exploration, offering deeper insights into the intriguing realm of autopathy. He discusses topics such as identifying cases with remarkable outcomes, comprehending aggravations within autopathy, and generously sharing his extensive expertise and firsthand experiences.

About my guest:

Jiri Cehovsky was born in Prague.  Before he began to study and practice homeopathy in around 1980, he worked in publishing. In 1992, he founded the homeopathic school in Prague, from which many Czech homeopaths graduated since then. In the year 2002, he discovered the usefulness of the autopathic principle (“the nearest similimum comes from the person treated”), invented a tool for reliable home preparation of autopathic dilution, and has been developing this method further during the following twenty years. He documented his findings in three books - Autopathy: A Homeopathic Journey to Harmony, Get Well with Autopathy, and Autopathy Handbook. The first article ever published on the topic appeared in the Homeopathic Links 2/2006 under the title: Autopathy: An Unknown Area of Homeopathy. He also published many articles in the journal Hpathy.com, which in 2022 gave him the Award Pioneer in Homeopathy Awards for Excellence in Homeopathy - Hpathy.com. He organizes regular seminars and webinars on autopathy.
