Dear Dr Vishpala,

Every new activity of NJH excites me and I am very glad to know that NJH is bringing out a Student Edition.

It is a very praiseworthy decision. Being in constant touch with the students, I can say that today’s studentsare more hungry for knowledge and willing to learn skills to succeed. They not only have a quest for learningbut also an open mind.

I trust that NJH would cater to the needs of the students in providing academic material consistent with theviews of great masters Hahnemann. Boenninghausen, Boger and Kent.

I have just received the regular Repertory issue of the NJH. And I must say it is very, very good. I know thisnew venture will be of equally high standard.

My best wishes to the NJH team. Dr D P RastogiEx-Director Central Council of Homoeopathy

Your announcement to bring out a student edition, in addition to the regular publication of NJH, is appre-ciable. It amply demonstrates that imparting classical homoeopathy is an integral part of NJH.

Continuing regularity in publishing of a medical journal, especially in the homoeopathic field, requires in-tegrity, persistence and perseverance. NJH - the editor and the team, has proved this through their zeal andefforts. Homoeopathy is at the cross-roads today and the onus of spreading right kind of homoeopathy fallson both senior and junior practitioners as well as the teachers. NJH has recognized this need of the hour andventured into motivation of students, our budding homoeopaths.

With this move of NJH, student community should feel free to exchange their ideas, problems, experiencesetc. Let this student edition of NJH be a bridge to further the cause of homoeopathy.

Wishing NJH and also the students, the grand cerebral tranquility through showering of knowledge, and notonly information, and assuring of our humble long-lasting cooperation.

Yours sincerely

Dr Ajit Kulkarni

Editorial

DR C H ASRANI

Our Guest Editor for this first issue, himself a mature student when he didhis DNB (Family Medicine) at the ripe age of 43: Dr C H Asrani:It is said ‘when it rains, it pours’. For the students of Homoeopathy (un-dergraduate, post graduate, MD students and practitioners alike) this say-ing is more than true!After being told for last decade, that NJH must have a student section –not that NJH team did not try! Another popular saying delayed it- ‘who’llbell the cat?’ We had people with noble intentions – that of helping thestudents – but no one to take charge of the students’ section. We alreadyhad our hands (and mouths) so full, begging for articles for NJH that wecould not have dedicated a (b*****g) team for students section. So it re-mained, another of our unfulfilled dreams.And so passed 14 years; years full of suggestions; ideas; brilliant ideas;promises; more promises but little action.Then Vishpala had a brain wave – why not become a student again? Thebest way to feel like a student, understand the needs, gather tips to study,already struggling to cope with the practice and still study! …and sheenrolled in an external MD course from Aurangabad. 2 years of living her

busy life to the fullest and continue studying; writing a 271 page thesis and preparing for her exams! Nowthat period of worship is about to be over - she is busy preparing for her finals – NJH proves ‘when itrains, it pours!’NJH launches this bi-monthly student - edition! Yes, an entire edition dedicated to students will be pub-lished every other month.Who are the torch bearers? Dr Ardeshir Jagose, Dr Vaishali Bhagat and Dr Krutik Shah. At last Vishpalahas her three musketeers – these three have promised to deliver, have taken the mantle of providingstudent-friendly information – academic info as well as tips on how to study? Tips on starting a newpractice; which software to buy; smart borrowing if one needs money for projects etc etc.The inaugural edition has blessings from none other than Dr Rastogi and Dr Ajit Kulkarni; The articlestoo are more to do with academics than usual, for example Dr Shashi Kant Tiwari’s very detailed articleon Repertory and its various types and the comparisons of all the Repertories, including the new onestoo.Dr Krutik says Homoeopathy is my life and then goes ahead and proves it. He has poured his heart outand talked about the best he would like to do for students, and how they should work towards multifaceted development; with Dr Parimal Parmar he takes us through an actual repertory working, solvinga case. He then roped in his aunt, a PhD in Philosophy/ religion, to give her thoughts on what constitutesthe qualities of a good doctor and how he should evolve! A multi-pronged approach, indeed.Dr Jagose, the 2nd team member of the Tripartite, has taken us through the evolution of the Repertory, andnoted the differences and compared all. But then he got stumped on particular Qs.

Editorial

And then we have been taken on a lovely spot on the chair, so let us remember how this chair cameabout and how we have to take it forward. The most interesting on this Repertory ship, he takes herand asks to freedom. This is effectively done by Dr Kanojia where he has taken the mental rubrics andkind of given meaning in cross reference types. Interesting!So it is a holistic approach on the Repertory and coming close on the heels of the Regular Repertoryissue, which itself was remarkable, it kind of complements and completes the study of the Repertory -the most exhaustive one ever.This issue NJH acknowledges the contributions of Dr Sushma Jaiswal, Dr Satish Kanojia & Dr BhaviniMehta and appoints them as Assistant Editor(s).Last but not the least, a final call to ALL those who can give ONE tip for practice; ONE tip for learningand remembering; ANY tip to help others…And a call for all of you to question, demand and ask advice on any sphere of Homoeopathy and Life.Finally, let each one of us strive to apply Erma Bombeck’s quote in our life…“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talentleft, and could say, “I used everything you gave me.” AmenDr Vaishali Bhagat’s article missed the deadline. She sends a message with a promise of more contentnext issue onwards. Editor

MESSAGE FOR STUDENT EDITION - FROM EDITOR - STUIn this 21st century at a click of computers, we are exposed to an ocean of information from SCIENCE TOART. Students of this generation are curious, zealous, intelligent WITH an unquenchable thirst for knowl-edge. They are exploring the world of Homoeopathy. Needless to say our journal, “National Journal ofHomoeopathy” enlightens them in all aspects at the current era.Being a teacher for almost twelve years, I see a dynamic spirit in my young students. They are in searchto know homoeopathy and require a space to share their understanding to fulfill their quest.Team NJH with the guidance of Dr Mrs Vishpala Parthasarathy has decided to give our buddinghomoeopaths their space to write and read articles of assorted interest in our Student Edition (6 per year)which will satisfy their intelligent minds.I hope this issue on Repertory-Stu gives all my students pleasure reading & knowing Homoeopathy.Dear student readers please give us your valuable feedback to enhance our effort in fulfilling your desireof quality reading.

Yes! I am proud to be a Homoeopath...“HOMOEOPATHY IS MY LIFE”.

ABSTRACT: Here, I am going to share with you my deepest feelings of Homoeopathy. When DrVishpala Madam (Editor,NJH) came up with an idea of “Student NJH” – I got very excited asI got an opportunity to share something which has been absolutely unexpressed till date.I have moulded this article in my feelings in such a way, that it can be easily understood bythe neophytes of Homoeopathy, because I wanted to get best out of me.

HOMOEOPATHY IS A COMPLETE SCIENCE

Hippocrates – Father of Modern Medicine, WilliamHarvey – Father of Circulation, Robert Koch – Dis-coverer of Tuberculi bacilli (Thus Tuberculosis isalso called Koch’s lesion) etc and many other sci-entists have seen the objectivity of nature and thuscreated the science called Allopathy. Thence we sayAllopathy is primarily Objective science. Hahnemannas an allopath, had seen the objectivity of nature,and later with an attempt to understand nature heperceived its subjectivity and invented a new sci-ence called Homoeopathy.According to Hippocrates – A MEDICAL SCIENCE isbased on FACTS and LAWS. The facts in Homoeopathyare Proving of drugs and the laws in Homoeopathy areSimilia Similibus Curentur, Cardinal principles, Nature’sLaw of Cure (Aph: 26) andHahnemann had the idea that PROVING on animalswill allow a lot of subjective information lost; so hechanged the idea and proved it on healthy humanbeings. Thus Hahnemann has given more impor-tance to subjectivity while proving of drugs, as thesubjectivity differs from person to person; henceHahnemann has advised us to treat the sick personnot the disease, which finally leads to the conceptof Individualization (Aph:82).We can proudly say that Homoeopathy is a COM-PLETE science as it has full and detailed record ofthe symptoms ie subjective and objective, withmodalities, causative factors etc. Our medicines are

proved on healthy human beings (unlike Allopa-thy). These various types of information are usedfor our prescription.HOMOEOPATHY IS A HOLISTIC SCIENCE

Homoeopathy is a holistic science; a human science.We always have to consider an element of human-ity. Our Homoeopathic medicines have the powerto bring back health without any manual interven-tion even in deeply deranged cases. This is amiracle!!!A person comes to you with ten problems and you aretreating him with only one medicine without even touch-ing him! To the best of my knowledge –Homoeopathy is the only science which has a ca-pacity to do this in this 21st century. What you needto do is just get the RIGHT simillimum according toeasily comprehensible principles (Aph: 2) and restwill be done by medicine as it acts unconditionally(Aph:32). Just requires dedication and sincerity andlove for patients.HOMOEOPATHY IS A (W)HOLISTIC SCIENCE

Homoeopathy does not treat disease but it treatsDiseased Individuals (Aph: 81 foot note). Hahne-mann was a vitalist who was studying life. He hadthe idea that a symptom or pathology is not onlyrelated to one parts of the body; it can be related tomany part of the body. As body is made up fromone cell – whatever symptoms appear even thoughin different parts of the body, they are scientificallyinterconnected.

General Section

You need to understand the patient as a whole.Body is an indivisible whole in their sensations andfunctions (Aph: 189). No single disturbance strictlyconfines to the single organ or tissue (Aph: 185, 191),as symptoms are known as outwardly reflected pic-ture of the internal essence of disease; an affectionof the vital force (Aph:7). the tunnel or focal allo-pathic vision (like cardiologist, dermatologist,nephrologist etc) is not allowed. This is the proofthat whatever Hahnemann has advised stands trueeven after 250 years!!This is the best advantage of Homoeopathy aswhether the cause is known or unknown – it willbe destroyed; which Dr Hahnemann has said it asan “INVISIBLE HIDDEN INTERIOR (CAUSAMORBI)” (Aph: 6 Foot note). This is the reason whypeople say that Homoeopathy treats permanently(Aph: 25, 26, 109 Foot note, 190).NO RESISTANCE OF HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINE

At the time of Hahnemann – they were treatingcases of eczema, scabies’ and other relatively su-perficial disease and now almost after 250 years af-ter – you can see the cases of deep neurological,psychiatric, neuromuscular disorders like muscu-lar dystrophies, multiple sclerosis, AIDS etc whichwere not there in their time. So you can see that ahuman health is so much deteriorated over a pe-riod of 250 years!! But still you can see that at thetime of Hahnemann – single medicine was enoughto cure and even now that single medicine is equallyeffective.So these 250 years of observation suggests thatHomoeopathy is able to work throughout, eventhough the human health has been so much dete-riorated probably with so much abusive drugs andvitiated environment!!WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?In Modern Medicine – the first antibiotic inventedwas Penicillin, then bacteria developed resistanceto it and then next generation antibiotic and so on,where today they are using cefixime, ceftrioxoneand still more broad spectrum and yet they developresistance to it.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE WORD RESISTANCE OF AHOMOEOPATHIC REMEDY? Never!! Almost never. Eventhe medicines prepared 250 years ago are still work-ing without any expiry date!! This suggests thatHomoeopathy is not against nature. It is a part andparcel of nature; it will stop working only if thenature changes (Aph: 26, Aph: 119 foot note, Aph:145 foot note).HOMOEOPATHY IS THE FASTEST SCIENCE:Homoeopathy is the fastest science in the world andyou can see it in your day to day practice, if youapply it correctly ie if you get simillimum rightly.These miracles won’t be seen in those Homoeopathswho practice Homoeopathy Allo-pathically. A com-mon tendency of a Homoeopath - to prescribe veryhastily without following principles. DrHahnemann has called them “Mongrel Sect” (Aph:149 foot note).But with proper knowledge (Aph: 3), proper casetaking (Aph: 84 – 99), getting totality of symptoms(Aph: 7 and 18) and forming a portrait of disease(Aph: 6) and making a proper individualization(Aph: 82, 119 foot note) - miraculous results are atyour doorstep (Aph: 24, 68, 145). This stands truein acute disease (Aph: 149) as well as in chronicdisease (Aph: 148).This is purely subjective and it’s application variesfrom person to person. I would suggest that “AHomoeopath should have Patience, Positive atti-tude and Perseverance to be on the path of success”.“Homoeopathy is complete but the Homoeopathis incomplete.” Books can give you a basic frame-work but its application is totally practical. Thus, Iwould recommend to all neophytes of our frater-nity to sit with a Hahnemannian Homoeopath tolearn the application of principles into practice.People have a belief that Homoeopathy takes longtime to act; it is a wrong belief. ‘Homoeopathy is not ascience of action; it is a science of reaction’. Nobodycan predict the response from the organism. It is aclearing mechanism, where vital force is throwing thetoxins out which should be allowed after the admin-istration of a correct Homoeopathic remedy.

Homoeopath tries to hide his mistakes by putting hisblame on Homoeopathy (Aph: 149 foot note). Thiswrong belief about the slow action of Homoeopathic medi-cine is created by none other than the half heartedlypracticing Homoeopaths only!!HOMEPATHY IS THE CHEAPEST SCIENCE

People have been exhausted taking AllopathicMedications (Aph: 74), A specific line of treatment(Aph: 104 footnote), never cures (Aph: 149) and onthe contrary they deteriorate human health morebadly (Aph: 149 footnote).This will never, I say, never happen withHomoeopathy as you are curing a person perma-nently from his one or ten diseases with just threeor four drops of similimum and from then on hewill enjoy his highest level of health!!! This is justamazing and beyond human imagination.What I feel is that the cure we are effecting is abso-lutely immaterial and we are comparing it with thematerial amount, which I feel is an insult toHomoeopathy. Money is equally important; so oneshould charge fairly, but I feel that “Acceptance ofHomoeopathy in masses will surely increase na-tional economy.”MANY AREAS OF RESEARCH

I urge all my colleagues, enthusiastic Homoeopathsto contribute something to the fraternity ofHomoeopathy. There are many areas of researchlike Remedy relationship, Posology, Proving onlower animals to get maximum objective symptoms,authenticity of Homoeopathic medicines, Patho-logical Prescribing etc.“Such Researches may show a new world ofHomoeopathy beyond horizon!!”My friends, Homoeopathy HAS A LOT OF MONEY onlyif you apply principles of Homoeopathy correctly

in your practice, as three to four drops ofsimillimum will cost nothing while you can chargeanything.If you apply your principles properly, then you canbecome a quality-oriented Homoeopath rather thanquantity-oriented. Each case is a new world to en-ter; every case is a new challenge; it is very toughtask to perform. I feel that “There is only one bigdifficulty with Homoeopathy ie it is very difficultto master”.Hahnemann was an allopath and thus he became asuccessful Homoeopath. So the importance of di-agnosis and investigation is equally important. Al-lopathy is the oldest science. Not a single science iscomplete, but knowledge of all the sciences willenable us to guide the patient in a proper direction.If we start working whole-heartedly and if we cor-rect our pitfalls, then the time is not far whenHomoeopathy will be considered equal or evensuperior than Allopathy because where Allopathyworks, Homoeopathy equally works but whereAllopathy ends, Homoeopathy still works.“Opportunities are many but the occasions arefew.” We need to serve our science with the help ofthe fanatic lovers of Homoeopathy whose heart isbeating for Homoeopathy.Thus, I must recommend all the buddingHomoeopaths to read last paragraph of the prefaceof 1st edition of Organon by Dr Hahnemann.LET US BOW DOWN INTO THE LOTUS FEET OFOUR FATHER AS 2ND JULY IS THE 164th DEATHANIVERSARY OF THE MOST SCIENTIFIC GE-NIUS EVER LIVED!!! ☯☯☯☯☯

General Section

The “scientific method” is the mechanical method; tak-ing all the symptoms and writing out all associatedremedies with grading, making a summary withgrades marked at the end. There is an “artistic method”that omits the mechanical and is better, but all are notprepared to use it. The artistic method demands thatjudgment should be passed on all the symptoms, afterthe case is most carefully taken. The symptoms mustbe judged as to their value as characteristics, in rela-tion to the patient; they must be reviewed by rationalmind to determine those which are strange, rare andpeculiar.The artistic prescriber sees much in proving that can-not be retained in the repertory, where everything mustbe sacrificed for the alphabetical system. The artisticprescriber must study Materia Medica earnestly, to en-able him to fix sick images in his mind which, whenneeded, will infill the sick personalities of human be-ings.No such things as infallibility in prescribing will everbe attained, but he who uses his repertory faithfullyand intelligently and no one can do that without equalfruitfulness and intelligence in his study of MateriaMedica – will inevitably reap his rewards in resultsand in that peace of mind that comes with an approv-ing conscience.Homeopathy is, from the beginning to end an “Art ofIndividualization” (Aph 82). We have to individualizeour remedies as well as our patients. As there are nosurrogates (Aph 119 Foot Note). It must be kept in mindthat to allow our conception of remedies to be limitedby nosological terms will hinder us from utilizing rem-edies to the fullest. To get the greatest good from theMateria Medica – we must recognize our remedies aspowerful curative agents ready to serve us in any case,no matter what the name of the disease or what thelaboratory findings are. The use of the repertory is one

of the higher branches of our art and before it can bemastered. The laws governing the homeopathic treat-ment and cure of the diseases given in Organon of Medi-cine and Chronic Disease by Hahnemann must be mas-tered. I firmly believe that if homoeopathy is to sur-vive in this age of therapeutic nihilism, when so manyill practices are being fostered as Homeopathic, its sur-vival will come from a comprehensive study of the Or-ganon.Samuel Hahnemann in Aphorism 153 Footnote hasvery much appreciated repertorial work of Dr VonBoenning-hausen especially in Intermittent Fever inAphorism 235 Foot Note.What I feel is that “Every Homoeopath should be hisown Materia Medica maker”. I think you will be am-ply repaid for the time given to a careful study of thisanalysis, not only for the usable knowledge of the rem-edies that you will have acquired, but also and per-haps, of the greatest importance – the help it will be toyou in enlarging and compiling your own MateriaMedica.The repertory was not discovered to replace MateriaMedica. We cannot stress enough that the repertorycan never replace our constant study and use of thepathogenesis of our remedies. It should be used as anindex to lighten the task of memory in storing that vastsymptomatology of our remedies.Repertory, Organon and Materia Medica are the pil-lars of Homoeopathy and are deeply interconnected.“Nobody can be successful ignoring basics”. Sourcebooks are the tools and need to be studied thoroughlyin order to become true, Hahnemannian Homoeopath.One must remember that even the stalwarts have be-come popular and successful only by reading thesource books.All the very best to all you budding homeopaths!Jay Hahnemann. Jay Homeopathy!. ☯ ☯ ☯ ☯ ☯

An Introduction to repertoryABSTRACT: Repertory is our chief instrument of precision. True, some men do some goodwork without repertory, but they also do poor work, more then they would do with it. Aself-made artisan may be a very useful man although ignorant of the theory and mostadvanced methods obtaining in his line of work, but he can never measure up to the manwhom education and thoroughness of method has made an expert.

Details of some lesser known RepertoriesABSTRACT: The totality of symptoms in contrast to pathology plays the key role in under-standing a drug or patient in Homoeopathy. The selection of similimum from the vastsymptomatology of Material Medica always demands a way of differentiating/sortingsimilar looking drugs. Repertorisation is one such comprehensive, scientific and error-less way of doing this exercise.

Dr ARDESHIR T JAGOSE MD (HOM)Meherzin Co-op Hsg Society Ltd., C/43-44, 4th Floor, 109/A Wodehouse Road, Colaba, Mumbai - 400 005.Tel.: 022-22153873, Mobile: 9820291108

The roots of Repertory can be seen as early as 1816in the preamble of Materia Medica Pura byHahnemann himself: “For the convenience of treat-ment, we require merely to jot down after eachsymptom all the medicines which can produce sucha symptom with tolerable accuracy, expressingthem by a few letters (Abbreviations), and also tobear in mind the circumstances under which theyoccur; they have a determining influence on ourchoice. Proceed in the same way with all the othersymptoms, noting what medicine each excite; fromthe list so prepared we shall be able to perceivewhich among the medicines homeopathically cov-ers most of the symptoms present, especially themost peculiar and characteristic ones and for whichthis remedy is sought”. This laid the foundation ofthe present day repertories.From the first repertory Fragmenta De ViribusMedica Mentorum Positivis published in 1805 byHahnemann himself, the profession has seen a largenumber of repertories and the search for an idealand complete repertory will go unabated in future.The credit for publishing the first repertory goes toVon Boenninghausen, who published the Reper-tory of Antipsorics in 1832 with a preface by theMaster (2nd Ed in 1833). This repertory was used byHahnemann himself.In 1835, came Boenninghausen’s Repertory of medi-cines which are not antipsorics and in 1836 camean attempt at showing the relative kinship ofHomoeopathic medicines. All these publicationswere combined to form his masterpiece. Therapeu-

tic Pocket Book was published in 1846 in German.This became the standard reference work used bymost American Homoeopaths including StuartClose, Carroll Dunham, H N Guernsey and T FAllen. In 1900 Cyrus Maxwell Boger made a newtranslation of the Antipsorics remedies into English.It contained 232 pages. Dr Boger continued to en-hance it until his death in 1935. He made so manyadditions and new rubrics that its final size was1040 pages - an almost five fold increase which latergrew into The Boger-Boenninghausen’s Charac-teristics and Repertory(BBCR) in 1905.1) KNERR REPERTORY

It is an index to Hering’s Guiding Symptoms pre-pared by Dr Calvin B Knerr.The arrangement or classification, followed in thecompilation of the repertory is the one inauguratedby Hahnemann, developed, perfected and used byHering through his entire Materia-Medica work ieanatomical or regional division into 48 chapters.LIST OF CHAPTERS

Mind and disposition (91), Sensorium (2), Innerhead (3), Outer Head (4), Eyes (5), Ears (6), Nose(7), Upper Face (8), Lower Face (9), Teeth and Gums(10), Taste and Tongue (11), Inner Mouth (12),Throat (13), Desires, Aversions Appetite, Thirst (14),Eating and drinking (15), Hiccough, Belching, nau-sea and Vomiting (16), Scrobiculum and Stomach(17), Hypochondria (18), Abdomen (19), Stool andRectum (20), Urinary organs (21), Male sexual Or-gans (22), Female Sexual Organs (23), Pregnancy,Parturition, Location (24), Voice Larynx, Trachea

The basic difference of this repertory fromAllen’s symptoms register is that it contains symp-toms and remedies from provings and confirma-tions.To represent it, different grades have been used.

I. The lowest, a single light line, designatingoccasionally confirmed symptoms.

II. A double light line designates symptomsmore frequently confirmed or if but onceconfirmed, strictly in character with the ge-nius of the remedy.

III. A single heavy line, a symptom verified bycures.

IV. A double heavy line, symptom repeatedlyverified.

These degree marks tally with the four styles of typeused by Boenninghausen.∏∏∏∏∏ represents symptoms observed on the sick ie onlyrepresents toxicological symptoms.This concordance repertory is one of the few reper-tories where symptoms have been placed unbro-ken by preserving the original words/expressions,so that they retain the most delicate shades of mean-ing to maintain individuality, which is very vitalin the selection of similimum. Generalization hasthe drawback of destroying the fine delicacy ofsymptoms as has been with Boenninghausen Rep-ertories and to some extent with Kent’s Repertory.Let us take some example of mental symptoms:Forgetful: Knerr has listed first all the remedieswhich have forgetfulness in general, followed by

smaller rubrics which have special association witha particular circumstance or condition or are relatedto a specific time frame in an alphabetical order.This arrangement though systematic and good, isimpractical in the repertorisation process. There-fore, this repertory, though useful has rarely beenused by professionals.Rubric placing is more appropriate in Knerr’s Rep-ertory as compared to Kent. Eg Jaundice has beenplaced under section Liver and Gall stones is a sepa-rate rubric.2) THEMATIC REPERTORY BY JA MIRRILI

The author opines that it is very difficult to under-stand homoeopathic knowledge from hithertoavailable Clinical and Pure Materia Medica andRepertories. He tried to express the thematic phi-losophy of the study of homoeopathic symptomsby organizing the symptoms of Pure MateriaMedica and repertory by themes. He says that Rep-ertories were the main attempt to classify thehomoeopathic symptoms so that they could be usedin the clinic for fast medical advice, but they haveseveral limitations. Eg: In repertory, symptoms aresevered and classified in alphabetical order withno connections, loosing their dynamic expression.Thus similar symptoms are placed in different chap-ters and remain unrelated.Secondly, the symptoms described in Pure MateriaMedica are not totally represented in the reporto-rial rubrics. In this new thematic repertory, authorhas tried to overcome weaknesses of repertories.Eg: In the thematic repertory, at the forsaken theme,we have lots of symptoms with the sense of for-saken but they do not present the word forsaken.This thematic repertory incorporates the collectivemood and 12,500 symptoms from the Pure MateriaMedica of Hahnemann, Hering, T F Allen, H CAllen, Jeremy Sherr and Complete Repertory byRoger van Zandvoort.These are arranged carefully under nearly 300themes like Ambition, Forsaken, Death, Helpless-ness, Money, Religious, Travel, Yielding etc. In thisway, all unrelated symptoms present under the

same theme and the limitation of the Kentian rep-ertories, where similar symptoms with differentspelling are found to be listed far away of eachother, is overcome.3) ROBIN MURPHY’S REPERTORY

It is a reorganized and expanded version of Kent’sRepertory with Kent and Knerr format. The bookis compact, practical and easy to carry like KentRepertory. It has 67 different chapters arranged al-phabetically as compared to 37 in Kent’s. Rubricsand sub rubrics within each chapter are in alpha-betical format, similar to those of Materia Medicaleaving out Kent’s plan of site, time, modalities, ex-tensions etc. There is complete reorganization of theinformation with smaller anatomical and functionalsubdivisions in alphabetical order. It contains 39,000new rubrics and reliable 20,000 new additions andupdates, still retaining a small lightweight size forconvenience. The grading of drugs is similar toKent’s three grades ie Bold, Bold italics and plaintype.Dr Murphy has updated the language of the reper-tory in many places, for which many new genera-tions of homoeopathic students will thank him. Eg:“Boredom” replaces “Ennui”, “Crying” replaces“Weeping” and “Humiliation” replaces “Mortifi-cation” though the original terms are cross refer-enced to the terms in updated language.There is a bold reorganization and expansion ofrepertorial information with many practical divi-sions: Children, Pregnancy, Emergencies, Environ-ment, Dreams and Delusions, plus use of moderndiagnostic terminology as Alzheimer’s syndrome,Polycystic Ovaries etc.He has created sections which make it easier to lo-cate an experience such as symptoms related tomusic. Besides the separate sections which havemusic as a modality, he has a music section in theMind chapter which includes many of the othermental symptoms which relate to music.There are plenty of cross references and a very use-ful word index in the back of the book to locate dif-ficult symptoms.

DRAWBACKS

It lacks the superscript code reference of the authorswho have contributed towards addition to Kent.Therefore it is very difficult to know the source ofthe concerned data as well as remedy.If we compare three rubrics of Murphy with that ofComplete repertory in Mac Repertory: “Deceitful”,“Defiant” and “Ailments from Reproaches”. In“Deceitful “Lycopodium2, Opium3, and Thuja3 appearin Murphy’s Repertory same as in the CompleteRepertory except Morphinum is added. But becauseof absence of references one does not know thesource of these additions/upgrades.In “Defiant”, Cham2 and Medo1 are added and Tubis upgraded (3) where again the same commentsare applicable.In “Ailments from reproaches”, he has added Anac1,Cham1, Lyc3 and Nat-mur2and upgraded Carc2, Coloc2

and Staph3.There are some rubrics which have been combinedfrom the original Kent Repertory, An example iscombination of “Egotistical” and “Haughty” intoone rubric entitled as “Egotistical haughty.” Thetwo words describe two distinct characteristics, asoriginally perceived by Kent, and belong to twoseparate rubrics.4) COMPLETE REPERTORY BY ROGER VAN ZANDVOORT

IRRHIS Publishers, Leidschendam, the Nether-lands, July 21, 1996This is the largest, most complete, and most accuraterepertory in the history of homoeopathy. It comes inthree volumes Mind, Vertigo through speech andVoice and Respiration through Generalities and anall-in-one volume (2,830 pages). Using Kent’s Reper-tory as the core, Van Zandvoort poured in the con-tents of every reliable repertory he could put his handson, including the unique personal repertories of PierreSchmidt and Von Boenninghausen.SOURCES OF COMPLETE REPERTORY

Boericke’s Repertoryand the most useful part of Phatakas Repertory havebeen completely incorporated, using Referenceworks for cross checking the material with theirsource.DESCRIPTION OF COMPLETE REPERTORY -CRThere are about 515,000 confirmed additions in theCR along with a number of new remedies: Ozone,Bambusa, Marble, Limestone, Sequoia-sempervirens,Lac-humanum, Hydrophis (snake venom) and manyadditions for Sacharum-officianalis, Carcinosin andBowel-nosodes, Granite and Bothrops-atrox. Each andevery rubric has been traced to its origin mentionedin superscript coded number giving the page num-ber of the original text for each rubric for precisionreference. This is the greatest advantage of this rep-ertory, as each new information has a reference codeby which one can judge its value or worth.There has been a lot of planning in the organiza-tion of the repertory. The mind symptoms havebeen systematically classified and indexed so thatthe right rubric or remedy can be found easily.Noises in several sections have been brought to-gether under the main rubric “Noise” (like in ab-domen, grumbling, quacking etc)He has changed previously confusing abbreviationsto more easily understood versions mostly in themineral and acid remedies.Many occurrences of symptoms have been simpli-fied using the most common word for their spe-cific meaning. Most important word in many ru-brics has been moved to be read first; ie during uri-nation is changed to urination, during. The termi-nology in some cases has been modernized andclarified eg Miscarriage has been replaced withAbortion and Micturition by Urination.SOME IMPORTANT CHANGES

One example of a rubric in Mind section: Emotionspredominated by intellect (as it appears in Syn-

thetic) has been changed after confirmation fromtext to : Emotions -Controlled by intellect, need tobe. This phrasing of the rubric gives it exactly theopposite meaning. Whereas the first one indicatesthat the intellect is so strong that it overwhelms andcontrols the emotions, the actual meaning indicatesthat Emotions are so strong that they have to becontrolled by intellect. The latter makes sense be-cause the drug enlisted against the rubric (Caler andViol-o) both are known to be highly emotional andhysterical drugs and not intellectual ones as de-picted earlier.The latest edition of Complete Repertory also addsanother rubric:Emotions, too strong – which also has the samedrugs. This confirms the corrections.Some of the new rubrics are; Ability increased,Achieve things desire to, Animal consciousness,Borrows trouble, Blaming, Charitable, Constructive,Daydreaming, Delicacy feeling of, Dignity, House-keeping inept for, Independent, Enthusiasm, Teas-ing, Telepathy, Intellectual.A NUMBER OF SUB RUBRICS HAVE BEEN ADDED

Precocity – Religious, Sexual, School, but does notperform to capacityEmbraces – Trees wants to embrace: OzoneExtravagance – Economy for want of, sometimesmiserly, works hardConsolation refuses for one’s own – Nitric-acidContemptuous – Opponent for, relations for, society.DISADVANTAGES

1. Lot of unreliable additions has been madeboth in terms of drugs and rubrics; egAndroctonus and Chocolate are two drugswhich are put in almost all rubrics.

2. Lot of cross reference, which turn out to befutile

3. Many small rubrics with single drugs leadthe prescriber go astray if given too muchimportance

4. It weighs almost 10 gm making it difficultto carry.

5) SYNTHESIS: REPERTORIUM HOMOEOPATHICUM

SYNTHETICUM BY FREDERIK SCHROYENS

This Repertory is linked to the Radar project. It isbased on the Sixth American Edition of Kent’s Rep-ertory and contains all its rubrics and remedies.Since 1987, Synthesis has been used as a databasefor the Radar program in the daily practice of lead-ing homoeopaths. It has been commented upon andthereby improved over and over again, which givesit an outstanding label of quality. This repertory isthe best example of expanded version of Kent’sRepertory from 1916 till date. It retains the Kent’shierarchical structure, therefore there is no need to

learn a new format. It incorporates vast number ofcorrections and adaptations caused by textual er-rors, illogical symptoms locations and ambiguouswording found in original eg Breast is replaced byMammae or Chest when appropriate, there areabout 235,000 additions from highly respectedhomoeopathic texts, giving priority to the classicalauthors – Kent, Hahnemann, Hering, Allen, Clarke,Boericke, Knerr etc.

Utility of understanding relationship of RemediesABSTRACT: This article especially attempts to explain the last section of Boenninghasuen’sTherapeutic Pocket Book (TPB) which deals with “Concordance”. It is interesting toknow that in the earlier editions it was named ‘Enigma’ meaning puzzle. For betterunderstanding and solution (for whom it is indeed a puzzle), the author has furtherexplained method of using relationship section with the help of a case from TPB.Ed: I think the deo is wonderful givinig re-sight into TPB and its usefulness.

Concordance means, “The state of being similar to”or “Consistent with something else”, used espe-cially for the action of the medicine. This section isthe least understood and used because of the ne-glect on the part of us, the physicians.Boenninghausen’s own experience and study ofremedies has helped him to compile this section,which in reality should render an important ser-vice to the Homoeopathic System of Medicine.It is arranged in alphabetical order by devoting onesection to each remedy and then subdivided intodifferent rubrics, which are generalized symptomgroups, arranged in the same order as the previoussections in the Repertory.FOR EXAMPLE: Mind, Localities, Sensations, Glands,Bones, Skin, Sleep and Dreams, Blood, Circulationand Fever, Aggravation: Time and Circumstances,

Other remedies, Inimical and Antidotes.Homoeopaths sparingly use this section. It canbring out therapeutics programme of acute rem-edies, constitutional remedy, complementary rem-edy, second prescription, intercurrent remedies andother like remedies.METHOD OF USING RELATIONSHIP SECTION WITH THE

The 1st prescription was Phosphorus, with whichpatient was relieved.To complete the cure, we need to prescribe the 2nd

remedy with help of concordance.For that one needs to draw 12 vertical lines of equaldistances except the first and the last, which shouldbe broader. On the top of the first broader columnrecord the term ‘medicines’ and the last broader col-umn record the term ‘total’ the rest 10 columns arefor sections: Mind, Location, Sensations, Glands,Bones, Skin, Sleep and Dream, Blood circulation andfever, Aggravations, Other remedies.The base of the first prescription should be takenas Eliminating Rubric, as in the case eliminating ru-bric is location.Now consider the medicines from Remedy Phospho-rus, which was first prescribed. Particularly of the 1st,2nd, 3rd grades ie with mark values 5, 4, and 3 of therubric in the column space for the ‘Medicines’ in thefirst vertical column one below the other. When re-cording is complete sum them up the total matchingand the total grades and record on the Rt hand broadercolumns specified for total by oblique lines to demar-cate them. Pick up 2 or 3 medicines as per highestmatching and highest grade in total and compare wellwith the section values of medicines then finally cometo a condition of similimum by totality.

Steps to Repertorization

Dr SHASHI KANT TIWARIPrincipal, Father Muller Homoeopathic Medical College & Hospital University Road, Deralakatte, Mangalore – 574160

Repertory follows the logic of induction and deduc-tion. The steps to repertorization start from casetaking and end by finding out the simillimum. Theyare:

1. Case taking2. Recording and interpretation3. Defining the problem4. Classification and evaluation of symptoms

(analysis)5. Erecting totality6. Selection of a proper repertory7. Repertorial result8. Analysis of repertorial result and prescrip-

tionCASE TAKING: It is the first step, and the outcome oftreatment entirely depends upon its success. Any

mistake committed here certainly interferes in theselection of the remedy and planning of the treat-ment.RECORDING AND INTERPRETATION: For effectiverepertorization, precise recording is very crucial forproceeding further with the subsequent steps. Re-cording is not done independent of interpretation;so both should be done simultaneously. Care shouldbe taken to record the intensity of each symptomand interpreting them without being prejudiced.DEFINING THE PROBLEM: Once the case is taken well,interpreted and recorded properly, the physicianshould be in a position to define the problem pre-cisely. The record should guide him to understandthe person and his disease. The sickness of the per-son expresses itself at various levels, and to bringall such expressions together to get a whole pic-ture, requires a clear understanding of whatHahnnemann stated: “What is to be cured in a dis-ease, that is to say in every individual case of dis-ease”. To define a problem means, to define the in-dividual who is facing a problem. The individualis fully revealed to a physician from the effects ofdifferent events associated with him as well as fromthe related data collected from various sources.Diagnosis of the disease, which is of crucial impor-tance, would segregate the peculiar characteristicsexpression from the common ones. The problemdefinition includes, knowing the patient’s predis-position, disposition, diathesis and disease. Thusonly by precisely defining the problem, a physicianwould be in a position to go ahead in the right di-rection.CLASSIFICATION AND EVALUATION OF SYMPTOMS

(ANALYSIS): It is a well known fact that all the symp-toms in a case are not equally important. After tak-ing the case, a physician faces quite a big numberof symptoms, which are required to be analyzed,classified and evaluated in order to arrange themhierarchically. Analysis and classification give anidea about the case in respect of its nature and thetype of symptoms, and therefore, evaluation can bedone by different methods. The three standardmethods of classification and evaluation pro-pounded by Boenninghausen, Kent and Boger are

of practical use in repertorization. The best way ofdoing analysis of a given case is to classify all theexpressions and symptoms of the case into com-mon and uncommon symptoms. This classificationwill give the idea about the suitability of the Rep-ertory as well as the method of working out a case.ERECTING TOTALITY (SYNTHESIS): Totality is not thesum total of symptoms but it is a logical combina-tion of symptoms, which characterise the personas well as individualise the problem. Thus, all thesymptoms which are classified and evaluated, donot form a working totality of the case.From classification and evaluation, the hierarchyof symptoms is known, but which to select to formthe totality ie which can logically represent thewhole picture and get a correspondence? This logi-cal arrangement must follow a definite principle. Ifthe case has got more Generals and a few Particu-lars with rare Modalities, it would follow a differ-ent arrangement than that of a case, which hasvague Modalities and striking Concomitants, or aPathological General.SELECTION OF THE REPERTORY AND REPERTORIZATION

After the totality has been erected, the case becomesclear to the physician. He should look for one ofthe following points in the case:GENERALS: MENTAL/ PHYSICALS. PARTICULARS.LOCATION. SENSATION. MODALITIES. CONCOMITANTS

PATHOLOGICAL GENERALS.If a case were full of Generals, Kent’s Repertorywould be the best. If it has got Pathological Gener-als, Boger’s Repertory must be selected. If the casehas got Particulars, with Location, Sensation, Mo-dalities and Concomitants with a few mentals,Therapeutic Pocket Book is preferable; however,Boger’s Repertory can also be used.Synthetic Repertory can be used for the Kent methodto refer more Generals. It has also many Pathologi-cal Generals, but no Particulars. Synthesis, CompleteRepertory and Homoeopathic Medical Repertory can beused where Generals are more prominent. More-over, these recent repertories can also be utilisedfor working out all types of cases. RepertoriumUniversale is suitably designed to repertorise all

types of cases by using different methods ofrepertorization.Once the repertory is selected, a major part of theanalysis and synthesis of the case is done. The nextstep is to rearrange the totality according to the rep-ertory selected. Rearrangement of totality in terms ofthe Repertory selected is called “Repertorial totality’.Thus, a well arranged totality is worked out.Next convert the symptoms into rubrics, which re-quires an acquaintance with the repertory. Thesymptoms obtained from the patient may not befound in the repertory in the same form; so the phy-sician must know the construction and arrangementof each repertory.Rubrics should be arranged according to hierarchy,reason and page number. The final outcome is writ-ten as follows:

Symptom Rubrics Reason Page No1 x y z2 x y z3 x y z

Now, at this stage, the case is referred to repertory,worked out, and a group of medicines with mark-ings is arrived at.REPERTORIAL RESULT: A group of close running medi-cines should be noted down according to the symp-toms covered and marks obtained. For example, if

Lyc covers seven rubrics and 18 marks, it should bewritten 18/7. A few medicines, which are nearer tothe first also, find a place in the repertorial result.ANALYSIS OF REPERTORIAL RESULT AND PRESCRIPTION:The remedy, which gets the highest mark, is notnecessarily the final remedy in all cases. Repertorialresults should be finally referred in the court ofMaterial Medica. Marks are important, but thesedo not constitute the final verdict. Further, thegroup has to be compared to the picture of the pa-tient and with the help of Materia Medica, it shouldbe differentiated. Sounding a note of caution,Boenninghausen writes, “…… for this purpose, heshould not content himself with repertories thathave been prepared, a very frequent carelessness, forthese books contain only slight hints as to one or theother remedy that might be selected but can nevertake the place of the careful reading up of the foun-tain sources” (The field, which differentiates medi-cines, is called potential differential field). Repertorythus narrows down the groups of medicines, andwith the help of source books, a final remedy canbe found out. The remedy so selected must finallypass through certain criteria such susceptibility,sensitivity, suppression (if any), the level of simi-larity, functional and structural changes, vitalityand miasm, to arrive at the right potency and doseschedule.

Philosophy

Towards EnlightenmentABSTRACT: India has provided “The Man of the Millennium” and now it is the duty of theNation to promote and prepare another Man of the Millennium. I am sure that peopleof India will continue the tradition. India has great heritage of philosophy and due tothis it is possible to prepare good human beings.

Editor: Why is this topic relevant for our First StudentEdition NJH? Good human beings make best doctors.So our aim should be to travel that path right from ourinception in Homoeopathic field. We requested DrAmrapali, a renowed spiritual teacher to write a briefword on how a Homoeopath should conduct and de-velop himself.The Human life is “Amulya (invaluable)”. A Medi-cal doctor is considered as second to God. Home-opathy is the godly way of treatment and you allare also second to God for your patients. You arethe future of India and the world. Homeopathicmedicines are a blessing for humanity-being af-fordable, effective and curing the patient in theshortest time. I believe that if Homoeopaths takeefforts to spread awareness, Homeopathy will bethe most preferred choice of treatment.Let us think, what is life? From where we come?Where do we go? I consider that life is gifted byGOD to achieve ENLIGHTENMENT. The philoso-phy of the India says that human life is just toachieve Moksha (to be free from all attachments).The era of 21st century is “knowledge” based. Knowl-edge has stages and man can conquer those stagesone by one and reach to the highest stage. The free-dom from “Janam (birth)” is the wish of every Hindu.Hindu culture has stated four objectives of life:Dharm, Arth, Kam, and Moksha. Jainism is the an-cient religion of India which has Moksha as the high-est Goal of life. To achieve Moksha, one has to passthrough various stages of knowledge. Man has towalk through following stages:

1 Information 2 Understanding3 Analysis 4 Synthesis5 Creativity 6 Innovation7 Empowerment 8 Enlightenment9 Towards Moksha

Do we learn this in our life? Is it through educativesystem or through any systematic way? If not,Where we have lost our ancient wisdom? Let usdiscuss these stages in detail how one can achieveall the stages in a short life.Actual life of a human being is just about 25 years.If man lives 70 years, first ten years are just investedin playing and at the end of life about 5 years withDoctor, so 70 -15 = 55 years. We sleep for 27.5 years,and we invest at least 5 years in eating and doingpersonal work. Now if we are going to live onlyabout 27 years than we have to live carefully. Mydear friends, this is not just philosophy but it istruth. Let us think that if life is so small than everyOne has to plan it carefully.1. MAN STARTS LEARNING WITH INFORMATION- the fac-tual meaning of the visual thing. Information helpsman to understand the physical world and theworldly matters. Man learns about physical, socialand emotional world. Information teaches use,making and processing things.2. UNDERSTANDING: Gives the real meaning the in-ner meaning of worldly things and its analysis. Per-son always thinks with his own perception, sur-rounding and reference. Analysis helps person tosynthesis and understand the situation.

3. CREATIVITY: Only after full understanding in totothan creativity starts. This step is very important.. Cre-ativity is better known as innovation -the person’sIDENTITY, a reflection of his personality.4. EMPOWERMENT: Comes out of hard work, excel-lence, brightness, smartness and achievement. Thisstage leads to the Goal of life and towards Enlight-enment.5. ENLIGHTENMENT: The highest stage of humanbeing. “Realized SOUL”. Enlightenment will eas-ily take the human to ULTIMATE GOAL of life- toachieve God.,to travel to Moksha. To walk on thispath, one has to develop eight dimensions givenbelow:1) Development of Health2) Mental Development3) Social Development4) Economic Development5) Civic Development6) Cultural Developments7) Ethical Development8) Spiritual Development

a. Self directedb. Self managedc. Self motivatedd. Self controlled

The main isDEVELOPMENT OF HEALTH: To perform optimally, Manneeds balanced health-both physical and mental,needs to develop a habit to take care of him/her health,so vital for his growth. Well being of body is consid-ered as first happiness. Well being is based on goodfood habits, lifestyle.and Yoga. Here is where the im-portance of Homoeopathy as a preventive medicalscience play an important role.This along with development of all other 7 devel-opments will allow us to travel towards Excellency.Now we can see the importance of Health and itsmanagement in our overall development.Doctors are the best human being in the world be-cause they treat patients. When patients visit you,they are unhappy, but when you treat them, theygo with happiness. It is a short journey for doctorstowards enlightenment which will take doctors to-wards excellence. ☯

Queries and Solutions

Q1: Have there been any clinical trials of comparingAllopathy and Homoeopathy in any area of medicine?

Dr AMIT NIMBHORKAR, AMRAVATI.ANS: There have been a few authentic studies publishedin journals on a comparative study of homoeopathywith conventional system of medicine. Some of themare- International Journal of Clinical PharmacologicalTherapy in 1997, (35:296-301) reported a study doneby Drs K Friese, F Kruse, R Ludtke and Moller on “Thehomoeopathic treatment of Otitis Media in children –comparisons with conventional therapy.” Anotherstudy is reported by Dr Trichard, Dr Chaufferin andDr Nicoloyannis in the 2005 issue of Homoeopathy (94:3-9) entitled “Pharmacoeconomic comparison betweenhomoeopathic and antibiotic treatment strategies in re-current Rhinopharyngitis in children.” A good articlewas reported in a journal “Wien Klin Wochenschr”2005 (117:256-268) by Hamre et al on “Anthroposophicversus conventional therapy of acute respiratory andear infections: a prospective outcomes study.”The jour-nal of Alternative Complementary Medicine publishedan article in 2001 (7:149-159) entitled “Homoeopathyand Conventional medicine – an outcome study com-paring effectiveness in a primary care setting” by DrsRiley Day and Fischer. The journal, Clinical Experi-ences in Rheumatology also reported an in-depth studydone by Professor G S Breuer and Dr Orbach in 2005(23: 693-696), on “perceived efficacy among patientsof various methods of complementary alternativemedicine for rheumatologic diseases.” Another Ger-man study carried out by Drs Bensoussan, Jovenin andteam on “Complementary and Alternative Medicineuse by patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: re-sults from a postal survey.”It was reported in the Jour-nal of Gastrointestinal Clinical biology -2006 (30: 14-23). Lancet in 2005 (366: 726-732) itself reported an ar-ticle on “Are the clinical effects of homoeopathy pla-cebo effects? Comparative study of placebo–controlledtrials of homoeopathy and allopathy.” Many morecomparative studies are still going on the globe over.

Q2: “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away!” Can youjustify this statement?

Dr SHILPA GULHANE, NAGPUR.ANS: Well, I think when this idiom was coined, it musthave been presumed that an Apple contained all thenutrients and vitamins required for a healthy living.Unfortunately nowadays all fruits / foods are hybridand have lost their original nutrient value at the ex-pense of high yield. As far as apple is concerned, itcomes in all shades of red, green and yellow. Applesare free of fat, sodium and cholesterol. Theycontain flavenoids in high proportions that have anti-cancer properties. 25% apple’s volume is air, 25% wa-ter - hence they may combat Obesity as well. The Ironcontent is high, useful for anaemic patients. Eating awhole apple is more nutritious than drinking applejuice. The apple peel contains high amount of fibre,vitamins and minerals. They are “Nature’s Tooth-brush” help clean the teeth and massage the gums. Itwas the falling of an apple that prompted Newton toenunciate the Law of Gravity. And finally mankindstarted when Adam and Eve sinned by eating the for-bidden apple in the Garden of Eden.Q3: Sir, What do you think about the use of ComputerProgrammes for repertorizing new cases?

Dr SANJAY CHANDRAKAR, RAIPUR.ANS: Most computer programs available today aremere compilations of rubrics from different reperto-ries and literatures. One fact is overlooked that everyauthor has his or her own conceptions regarding theterms used as rubrics. For example, in Boericke’s Rep-ertory, “worry” and “restlessness” are synonymous.Where as in Kent’s Repertory, “anxiety” connotesworry and “nervousness” and restlessness are same.More-over, at number of places, the same rubric hasdifferent drugs in different grades. Hence my opinionis to adapt yourself with book repertorization in ini-tial period of practice and keep the computer programsfor later as they are benefecial for keynote prescrip-tions, rare symptoms, etc. ☯
