Isopathy is a subset of homoeopathy.

It was invented by Johann Lux in the 1830s

It differs from homeopathy in that the remedies are made up either from things that cause the disease or from products of the disease such as pus. These are referred to by isopaths as nosodes and are subdived into auto-nosodes and sarcodes. Many so called homeopathic vaccines are in fact a form of isopathy.

The critisms that apply to homeopathy also apply to isopathy.
