Publisher's Synopsis
The repertory is our daily tool; it is our right arm, the gateway to Materia Medica and to healing. On this tool the health of the patients depends and we must be able to rely on it in the way a soldier relies on his sword, a baker on his oven, a writer on his pen. It must be sharp and accurate, all- encompassing but not overinflated. Synthesis 9.1 is all these things and the tool which will feel right at the hand. The repertory writer must retain, sort, filter and edit information with the utmost caution. It requires extreme discrimination and responsibility. Author`s main tools have been structural and technological innovation. A standing repertory of today. Synthesis now includes information on nearly all new medicines, clinical information from a variety of established sources, data from works of Hahnemann. Derived from the RADAR software, contains multiple additions from Kents Repertory on which it is based. While retaining the quality of the book, the print size has been reduced slightly to make the book handier. The book follows the same schema as used in earlier version but with some useful restructuring of rubrics. Most of the details that follows have been taken from the book itself. Synthesis 9.1 makes repertorisation easier, more accessible and efficient. Some highlights of the book are: 1. By Restructuring sensations and location author has created a more efficient tool; 2. By including remedies from sub- rubrics into their mother rubrics, there is choice of a larger and more accurate remedy base; 3.

Standardised and simplified repertory structure; Streamlining the symptoms are presented in a standardised way following strict, coherent rules; 10. Restructuring: By moving the descriptions of pain to the last level, e.g: 'eye - pain - menses - agg. - burning' and related information is at last brought together (all symptoms expressing 'eye - pain - menses - agg' now appear on the same page); 11. Extensive index about relationships of remedies, families, and where to get new remedies; 13. Information about the structure and language of the Repertory, e.g: explanations of more than 1,150 key symptoms. Synthesis 9.1 adds more armour to the Homeopathic tool-kit and makes available lot of integrated information that will prove useful to every homeopath.
