CASUAL (NEW) BATCH
Many people think a repertory only grows or improves when you
put in more additions. It is not only additions, it recognizes,
sometimes even restructures the repertory so that long existing, but
hidden rubrics can be found. For this reason, in the Millenium Edition
of the Complete, there has been a lot of restructuring, sometimes
subtle, enhanced by references and cross-references. Many new
cross-references and references have been made, in the knowledge
that people will use modern day English to find old information.
In the Materia Medica we find diversity in remedies, in authors, in
wordings used to describe the picture of the remedy by the provers
and by the authors. In the repertory it is a different story. We need
diversity of integrated remedy pictures but we do not want a huge
diversity of words to find the information. Whereas the Materia
Medica excels at this, the repertory should be meager, without losing
the meaning of the original text.
With regard to new proving material it is true there is still on-going discussion
about validity of some of the information added here. However the repertory is a
book which will give you hints to the search for the similimum. But we should
always check the Materia Medica to see whether or not the suggested remedy-
rubrics really fit into the Materia Medica picture of that remedy. Therefore, all
possible new remedy information (information that is available in writing so that
you can check the original proving yourself) have included in all modern
repertories. Using the right rubrics for patients, checking the Materia Medica is an
essential part of the process of finding the similimum, and part of your obligation.
Repertory which is an index of symptoms can be utilized in a better manner
only when the user is aware of how to convert the conditions into symptoms, and
the symptoms in to rubrics. Many of the practitioners and students find it very
difficult to interpret these symptoms and conditions to refer in the repertory and
to arrive at the similimum. And this is an effort to help the practitioners especially
the new corners in using the repertory. Many of the rubrics are ambiguous and
implicit and need a continuous study for using these rubrics in bed side. So
modern repertories are compiled to reduce the difficulties faced by practitioner in
their day today practice.
Modern repertories are a veritable breath of fresh air. Effort
has seriously been made to truly make the repertory user-
friendly. In fact, modern repertories are designed to be a
modern, practical and easy to use reference guide to the
homoeopathic Materia Medica with new additions and
updates, new chapters, new rubrics, new clinical rubrics.
Kent’s Repertorium generale – Author: Dr. Jost Kunzil Von
Fimmelisberg
Dr. Kunzil was born in 1992 and practiced at St. Gallen in
Switzerland. He was a pupil of Pierre Schmidt of Geneva. He
was an eminent practitioner and had commendable
knowledge in the field of repertory.
Introduction:
The Kent’s Repertorium Generale was first published in 1987 in German
language by Barthel & Barthel publishing, Germany. It was then translated in
English and made available in 1990. It is based on Kent’s repertory. Dr. Jost
Kunzil took painstaking effort to collect the observation of first class author
during the course of 40 years of homoeopathic practice. Kunzil has also
added many of Hahnemann’s observation from his Chronic Diseases as well
as Materia Medica Pura even though they were not been clinically verified.
Kunzil included all symptoms from Kent’s lectures which are not found in the
3rd edition, he included a numbered annotation above every remedy taken
from Kent’s lectures.
This allows the user to realize that although a remedy has been included in
the new repertory, it was Kunzil, not Kent who included it. The original
repertory contains ‘red point’. These are known as red points of Kunzil. These
indicate Kunzil’s own therapeutic experience. At some places a black point is
found behind the drugs. It means the therapeutic efficacy of that remedy has
been frequently proved.
Special features:
Kunzil’s new repertory takes off from Kent’s repertory, 3 rd edition
the one in general which preceded the Final General Repertory of
Kent’s revised by Dr. Pierre Schmidt and Dr. Harish Chand. All
entries found in the 3rd edition are found in Kunzil’s repertory.
The repertory is enriched with compilation of information from
72 reputable sources including H.C. Allen, T.F. Allen, Boericke,
Boenninghausen, Burnett, Clarke, Guernsey, Hahnemann, Hering,
Jhar, Knerr, Nash & Pulford. It follows Kent’s pattern of ‘plan &
construction’ and arrangement of rubrics, hence comprehensible
to those who use Kent’s repertory. Miasmatic remedies are better
represented as many symptoms from H.C. Allen’s Materia Medica
of the nosodes have been included. It contains 689 medicines.
Method of repertorizing a case is same as followed in Kent’s
repertory.
HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICAL REPERTORY- Dr. Robin Murphy
Dr. Robin Murphy was born on August 15, 1950 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He carried
out his undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. There he
discovered their homoeopathic collection and became intrigued with the system it
described. In 1976 he entered the National College of Naturopathic Medicine (NCNM),
where he was awarded the Hahnemann Scholarship for his thesis Homoeopathy and
Cancer. During his time at NCNM he studied with Ravi Sahni and Dr. John Bastyr. From
1980-1984, Dr. Murphy was the director of the homoeopathy program at NCNM. He
taught at Bastyr University and as chairman of the Homoeopathic Department at the
National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland.
Dr. Murphy was one of the earliest seminar teachers and is responsible for introducing
many people to homoeopathy. He takes a practical approach to homoeopathic
education, bringing clarity to the interrelation Repertory in 1993, and the Lotus
Materia Medica in 1996 which sell like hot cakes even today. He is presently the
director of the Lotus Medical Center, located in London, England. LMC sponsors
seminars on homoeopathy and oriental medicine throughout the world. The Lotus
Medical Center has educational programs on oriental Medicine and Homoeopathy. Dr.
Murphy is an honorary patron for the Abha Light Foundation’s Abha Light College of
Natural Medicine in Kenya.

SYNTHESIS REPERTORY
Repertorium Homoeopathicum Syntheticum – Dr. Frederik Schroyens
Synthesis is the heart of RADAR software – the genius that fuels this optimal tool. Each new edition brings
more additions, improves the quality of the information and comes with cutting edge innovations. It is
based on Kent,s repertory of Homoeopathic materia medica. This is the gratest work by Dr. Frederik
Schroyens
Dr. Frederik Schroyens was born January 12, 1953 in Mechelen, Belgium. Dr. Schroyens is a 1977 medical
graduate of the State University of Gent (Belgium) and a 1978 graduate of the one-year Homoeopathic
Training Course at the Faculty for Homoeopathy in London (MFHom). In 1981 Dr. Schroyens was the
constitutive President of VSU, the largest Homoeopathic School in Belgium. VSU provided a one-year
introductory homoeopathic training to more than 1,000 students and fully trained over 150 homoeopaths.
The homoeopathic education was built up over a five-year program. Dr. Schroyens also founded the
Masi-workshops in Belgium and Holland. Dr. Schroyens was one of the first Radar users in 1986 and
became enthusiastic about the increasing possibilities computer science offered to Homoeopathy. Because
of his dedication to the program, he became the Homoeopathic Coordinator of the Radar Project. In 1987 he
was appointed as the main link between George Vithoulkas and the programming team of the University of
Namur (Belgium) during the development of the Vithoulkas Expert System. He has accompanied George
Vithoulkas on many of his seminars since 1988 and has assisted him on many of his consultations. Dr.
Schroyens published an introduction to homoeopathy in 1984 in Dutch, which has been translated into
French and Portuguese. In 1993 he edited a printed version of “Synthesis”, the expanded Repertory linked to
the Radar project. A computer version of Synthesis exists in seven languages. This Repertory has also been
printed in German, English, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. Translations into various other
languages are ongoing.

REPERTORY OF MIASMS:
Full Name : Chronic miasms in Homoeopathy and their cure with classification of
their rubrics/symptoms in Dr Kents repertory. Author : Dr Ramanlal P.Patel.
Published in 1996. Published by : Hahnemann’s Hom. Pharmacy, Kottayam,
kerala.
Introduction:
The author justifies this work by explaining that “Hahnemann’s striking, singular,
extraordinary, & peculiar symptoms are basic miasmatic ones always hence the
wonderful curative effects produced by remedies selected upon such symptoms
are capable of reaching deep down to separate their miasmatic bond from the life
force”.The classification of miasmatic rubrics/symptoms are based on
Hahnemann’s treatise “The Chronic Diseases”. In this book, explanation on
miasms is given in the introductory part which is followed by miasmatic
classification of rubrics/symptoms in kents repertory.
PLAN AND CONSTRUCTION:
All the rubrics of kents repertory have been taken for the purpose of classification
into miasms using six columns against the rubric marked on the top as follows
Psora – P Sycosis – SY Syphillis – SYP
Latent psora – LTP Latent sycosis – LTSY Latent syphillis – LTSYP
REFERENCES:

F — Hahnemann G – Hahnemann S H — M.L. Dhawale etc.
One digit or alphabet is used alongside the rubric in the column, for the author who has
Utility: Utility of this work is to know and find out which miasm is predominant, prominent,
and deep rooted in the patients. It helps to place symptoms in hierarchy and to know how
miasmatic symptoms of each miasm have unfolded in a patient.
Working out a case: Symptoms are arranged as per the repertorial totality of kent i.e.
mental generals, physical general and characteristic particular.The rubrics/symptoms are set in
exactly the same Kentian schema. Against each rubric the following abbreviations are used in
Appropriate columns to denote the miasmatic classification of Rubric/symptoms.Each symptom
is then referred in the repertory of miasm of miasm and one mark is written against the rubric
under the rubric under the appropriate column.At the end, a total of marks should be made
under each column. The maximum number under the column will tell the prominent miasm in
the case. Accordingly the correct miasmatic remedy can be selected from the reportorial result.
THEMATIC REPERTORY- Author: J.A. Mirrili
New concept in the field of repertorization, this concept came up due to
difficulties of tracing out the symptoms at appropriate places especially mental
symptoms. It is an organized repertory on the basis of themes. There are
approximately 300 themes which are alphabetically arranged like ambition,
forsaken, death, helplessness, religious etc.described in this repertory. A theme
is a collection of repertory rubrics related to one theme for eg. In this repertory
the theme ‘water’ contains all the rubrics with word water, it also incorporates
rubrics with drowning, drinking, fishes,ships,rain and washing. Under these
themes several mental symptoms have been mentioned so that finding a
connection among them becomes easy. This is only a pioneer work by J. A. mirrilli
and it can be improved on further in the same direction.

Published in: 1996 by institute for research, homoeopathic information and symptomatology,
Leidscheridom,the Netherlands. Van zandvoort was born on November 30, 1958, in
Netherlands. He was interested in herbal medicines so he joined naturopathic college. Where
homoeopathy was a part of the study, he found that boericke’s Materia Medica had a lot of
information on herbal medicines; this made him interested in the study of homoeopathy. He
completed his study in 1983,and started teaching herbal medicine. In 1985 he started
homoeopathy along with his wife. They went to Greece 3 times to study with Vithoulkas. In
1987 van Zandvoort bought a computer and Mac repertory, Macintosh SE to help in the
practice.
While referring Mac repertory he compared the information that bill gray had with the
Vithoulkas additions to the synthetic repertory and found that there were many differences. He
involved himself in finding out where this information came from. He found an awful lot of
information missing from Kent’s Repertory. One of the most important tools he used in
making Repertory changes is Mac repertory. He made sure that each Research group used it.
The most important research groups were – the Boericke’s grp, the Phatak grp, and the Boger
Boenninghausen grp. He used Jahrs repertory, repertory of heart by Snader, Facial neuralgia by
Lutze, a lot of small repertories and articles Plus forty main repertories and Materia Medica to
enrich The complete Repertory. His future plan is to further refine The Complete Repertory.
After finishing his studies van Zandvoort started working on additions and corrections to Kents
repertory. He realised that the information in kent’s repertory differed from previously published
synthetic repertory. So he decided to take full time repertory work. Dr Doris Spinedi of Orselina, a
student of Kunzili and one of the associates of van Zandvroot was also not satisfied with the
existing repertories. He developed the idea of integrating Boger Boenninghausen’s and Kent’s
repertory. In 1990 Van Zandvroot met Kunzili and a group of doctors in a seminar; they decided to
make the Complete Repertory a more mature work guided by Dr Kunzil and a team of 40 dedicated
doctors took up the work of integration. Different sections were worked on by different doctors. All
the rubrics and remedies from Boger Boenninghausen repertory are not included. Only those
remedies, which were verified clinically and rubrics useful for repertorization by kent’s method are
included in the work. After Dr kunzil’s death the work was taken up by Dr Dario Spinedi. The
information in Complete Repertory has been taken from all the existing repertories, but mainly
from Kent’s Repertory, Boger Boenninghausen repertory, Borger’s additions to Kent’s Repertory,
Boericke’s Materia Medica and repertory.
Complete Repertory is the product of six years of intensive collaboration between the participants
of the “ Kunzil – Gruppe”. The book version was 1st published in 1996 by Institute for Research,
Homoeopathic Information and Symptomatology, Leidscheridom, The Netherlands. In its latest
2005 edition complete repertory contains more than 1.5 million remedy additions in over 1,58,000
rubrics. The new complete repertory features the changes to the remedy grading system that were
introduced in the Repertorium Universale, and the benefits from the extensive revision and increase
in the number of cross references between rubrics undertaken for the introduction of this repertory.
Special features:
The complete repertory has 41 chapters mainly based on kent’s scheme of order of
arrangement. It has few new chapters like – Head pain,smell,taste,speech and voice,
extremity pain.
Most of the problems faced by Kent’s repertory have been solved by changes incorporated
in complete repertory. Most important word in rubric is brought in beginning – during
urination was changed to urination, during. Older terminology is replaced by more modern
terminology- Miscarriage- abortion, micturation – urination. Remedy abbreviation have
been examined. Grades of remedies are revised. It deals with 2171 medicines.
Reorganizing rubrics in mind and other chapters – Dreams included in mind, Speech and
voice separate chapters, Talk, talking, talks are combined into rubric talk. Aversion and
desire for food included in generalities. Main rubric always includes all the remedies found
in their sub-rubrics. A number of new rubrics, cross rubrics, and references are added. Four
grades of medicines are used:
CAPITAL BOLB – 4
CAPITAL – 3
Bold italics – 2
Ordinary roman – 1
REPERTORIUM UNIVERSALE – Author: Roger Van Zandvoort
This is the latest repertory authored by Van Zandvroot. Efforts have been made to include
rubrics from both Boenninghausen’s work into Kentian repertory – structured repertory
(complete repertory). This results in repertory which offers the best of both the worlds, the
greater precision of the complete symptom found within the Kentian structure, plus the
greater flexibility of symptom combination provided the Boenninghausen – style rubric.All
the Boenninghausen – style rubrics contained in the repertorium universale have been
thoroughly and comprehensively updated with all new remedies. Three sections have been
introduced to the primary classification – Heart and circulation, Blood, and a Clinical section
listing remedies associated with various conditions. Cross reference between rubrics have
been thoroughly revised and increased, with new repertory featuring more more than
double the number included in the last edition of complete repertory.
Special features:
In its first edition repertorium universale contains nearly, 1.5 million remedy additions in
over 1, 80,000 rubrics compare to complete repertory. By re-structuring the format of the
rubrics in the Repertorium Universale, both Kent and Boenninghausen’s models are
accommodated and presented as a single fully integrated repertory. The abbreviations of
the remedy names have been corrected and synonyms reconciled. In the Repertorium
Universale it is now possible to use all methods within the one repertory.
COMPLETE REPERTORY 2008
Modern repertories in daily use by homeopaths all over the world, and has
been translated into several languages. Based on Kent’s Repertory, it has been
extensively revised, corrected and updated through several editions and
incorporating material from Materia Medica and many other repertories. In its
latest 2008 edition it contains more than 1.7 million remedy additions in over
167,000 rubrics.
The new Complete Repertory features the changes to the remedy grading
system that were introduced in the Repertorium Universale, and benefits from
the extensive revision and increase in number of cross-references between
rubrics undertaken for the introduction of this repertory.
Structural Changes
For 2008, some structural changes have also been made to the repertory. After
working on the Repertorium Universale structure for quite some years and
seeing that most people do not understand it, or for various reasons do not
want to work with it, it was time to go back to the more Kentian version:
Complete Repertory. In order to make the information easier to access the
following structural changes have taken place:
The “Ailments from” rubrics have been rearranged under the Mind section.
Previously some of these (eg. Anger, vexation agg., Anguish agg., Anticipation,
foreboding, presentiment agg. and Anxiety agg.) were contained in the
Generalities section. In the extremities section all specific localizations under
“Upper limbs” and “Lower limbs”, ie. upper arms, elbows, ankles, feet, etc., have
been moved up a level in the hierarchy. You can now open Extremities; Pain and
go directly to feet, or hands, etc. That means a lot of rubrics have become much
easier to reach, being less deeply embedded in the hierarchy of the repertory.
In the main rubrics of all sections the generalised modalities have been merged
with the phenomena. In CR 2005 there were sometimes long listings of
generalised modalities before the list of phenomena, and many users would like
to see the phenomena more directly. Therefore he has merged them and, when
the first word of the modality was the same as the first word of the phenomenon,
he has made the modality a sub-rubric of the phenomenon, thus emphasizing the
phenomenon a little bit more. For example, instead of having two entries for
Activity, the first a modality and the second a phenomenon, both the modalities
and phenomena attributable to Activity are now listed under the one rubric.
The specific tastes, discolourations and smell/odours have been taken
out of their main rubrics when appropriate and moved up a level in the
hierarchy, enabling the user to go to a specific discolouration, taste or
odour directly. In Speech & Voice, the main rubrics now begin with the
descriptive term, eg. Speech, awkward becomes awkward speech. This
edition is become very easy refer.

CARA.
CARA is developed in UK by MICCANT Ltd
Every CARA PROFESSIONAL is supplied with six repertories as standard.
These includes CARA’s own Combined Repertory, Murphy’s repertory,
Boericke’s , Phatak’s, BBCR, Complete and Clarke’s repertories.
Complete Repertory is the most latest & favorite repertory of all the
world renowned Homoeopaths. Cara is the only program that lets you
search all the repertories simultaneously – a MAJOR attraction especially
for students and new practitioners.
The Combined Repertory was originally based on Kent’s Repertory but has been
considerably expanded and now contains thousands of additions. Many of these
additions have been taken from the same sources used in the Synthetic Repertory
and significantly expand the Mental, General, Sleep, Dreams and Sexual rubrics.
The Combined Repertory retains the same schema of chapters and rubric layout as
the original Kent’s Repertory.
Thematic search (concepts)
CARA’s thematic search is the most useful tool for homeopaths who want to find
the right similimum. Today homoeopathic practice is just not taking few symptoms
& repertorising it & giving the remedy showing maximum score but today we try to
look behind what the patient says. We try to understand his state, understand his
basic feeling, his basic delusions. This has lead to interpreting rubrics in more
general terms. CARA’s thematic search has been based on the original work of Jose
mirilli, so our implementation of Mirilli’s work is fast and easy to use. e.g. when you
search for the theme of “AMBITION” other than the rubrics which covers word
ambitious it also searches following rubrics which originally do not contain the
word ambitious, but thinking on these rubrics deeply you will get a feeling of being
ambitious.

Jenny, Patrik Maximilian – The Confirmed Repertory, in progress
Dr. Jenny has in mind the creation of an internet-based repertory of clinically
your accessibility.
Eizayaga’s repertory:
triangle; point down, with divisions running across the triangle parallel to the
base. He had “birth” as the wide base on top, and “death” as the point on
bottom.
BIRTH
Division 1: The Soil (the terrain).
This is the genetic heritage the person brings into life – disposition to allergies, and
to illness later on. Remedies that affect this level are Nosodes. Sometimes this level
has to be treated, sometimes not.
Division 2: The Constitutional.
This is what the person is when they are born. These things can’t be changed– the
bone structure, build, color of skin, color of eyes, hair, etc. There are few remedies
that work here. Most babies are fat, sweaty, and like milk. Most fit Calc carb. Some
who are hot and dry may need Sulphur. Some need Phosphorus. Some need a mix –
as seen in Calc phos., Calc sulph.
Division 3: The Fundamental.
This is a “layer” that comes in life. The baby cries. The mother says to herself, “I’m
too busy right now, he’ll learn to wait.” The baby says, “I cry and she doesn’t come. I
am abandoned” – and becomes a clingy, whining Pulsatilla. These “layers” can build
on each other – the loss of a friend in school may lead to the withdrawal of Nat mur,
etc.
So far, none of these stages are treatable with conventional medicine. There
is no disease. Only homeopathy can help restore balance.
Division 4: Lesional
(treatable, reversable, curable)
Now the person starts to exhibit physical pathology. At this point conventional
medicine may think it can help. This layer, with homeopathy, can be cured to the
point of the pathology being removed.
Division 5: Lesional
(treatable, non-reversable, semi-curable)
In this category we find cases of tuberculosis where damage done to the lung cannot
be reversed, or of alcoholics with severe liver damage. The process can be treated
and cured, but the organic damage cannot be reversed. The patient’s health is
compromised.
Division 6: Lesional
(non-treatable, non-reversable, palliation)
The physical pathology is too far gone. All homeopathy can offer is palliative care.
DEATH
Eizayaga stressed that the mistake many “Kentians” make is giving the Fundamental
remedy instead of the Lesional remedy. The example he uses is that of a sensitive
woman, easily moved to tears, coming with menstrual problems characterized by a
stringy discharge.
If you treat the Fundamental (i.e., Pulsatilla) she will feel better, but the discharge
will remain. The Lesion MUST be treated first (Kali-bi), and then the Fundamental.
The great “miracle cures” happen when the Lesional and Fundamental ARE the
same remedy – then *everything* gets better. But treating only the Fundamental
will not cure the Lesional if they are in need of different remedies.
So, first you must cure the Lesional, then the Fundamental. Then, maybe the
*next* underlying Fundamental – until you either get to the Constitutional, or you
run into a block and have to go to the “Terrain” and clear that up first.
One of the distinguishing features of Eizayaga’s approach to case analysis is his
concept of working with cases in “layers.” In analyzing a case, Eizayaga suggests
that we look at the disharmony of the patient as consisting of a series of
concentric “layers”, from the surface moving inward described as the:
Local/regional disease
Fundamental layer
Morbid terrain
Constitutional layer
He suggests that we need to address these consecutively from the outermost layer first,
progressing “inwards” through these layers with successive prescriptions as necessary. Now we
could look at this trivially as a suggestion that we prescribe mechanistically to “partialities”
rather than to a “totality”, but I do not believe that is what Eizayaga has in mind.
Eizayaga distinguishes three possible types of cases, in which the patient may present with
