How was the Reliable Repertory conceived?

Many repertories in use today either contain new rubrics or have added remedies to old rubrics. Often, the sources of these additions cannot be traced. Without source information the authenticity cannot be determined, which means that the new information is almost useless in clinical practice.

A need for reliability surfaced, and we met that need. Our new Reliable Repertory guarantees that every author source is dependable, which means that every rubric and remedy addition is confirmed and trustworthy.

Why are there fewer remedies and rubrics in the Reliable Repertory?

Because we have verified every source and have eliminated information that cannot be confirmed, our Reliable Repertory contains fewer remedies and rubrics than some of the other modern-day repertories on the market. We opted to create a book that puts quality ahead of quantity.

How was the project executed? 

The advisory team included Dr. Rajan Sankaran, Dr. Paresh Vasani, and Dr. Massimo Mangialavori, among other experienced and stalwart homeopaths. Kent’s repertory was used as the foundation, and a well-supervised team of homeopathic students added information from these sources:

• The other Pioneer’s repertories (Allen, Boericke, Knerr, etc.).
• Contemporary provings that followed acceptable protocols (for example, dream provings were not included).
• Cases reported as cured by reliable sources.
• Other information from reliable author sources.

What are the special features of the Reliable Repertory?

The Reference String feature is unique to the Reliable Repertory.  A right click on many of the rubrics leads to source information about the remedies listed in it. Not every remedy has a reference string, but many do. More reference strings are being added in the process of repertory updating.

In addition to the source, one can also see the context in which certain remedies have appeared in a particular rubric.

For example, we see that even though the following remedies all occur in the rubric, “Activity, desires,” they are characteristically distinct from one another:

Aurum metallicum – desires mental and physical activity, but he performs it in a hurried manner. He cannot do things fast enough and is dissatisfied with himself.

Badiaga – In spite of the headache, he still thinks clearly and desires the mental activity.

Carbolicum acidum – desires activity on a mental level, but it causes confusion and headache.

Coffea tosta – desires creative activity, performs exuberantly, and focuses mostly on previously conceived ideas.

Passer domesticus – desires activity, is highly focused, and is too “wired” to be empathetic.

What is the plan for the Reliable Repertory’s continued growth?

Our Reliable Repertory will be updated with the MMPP group’s repertory additions on a regular basis so if you have Synergy Homeopathic Software you will stay up-to-date with this important information. The current version of SHS has all additions through October 2020. The next Reliable Repertory update, coming in 2023, will have all the additions created in the months since that date.

New provings and clinical cures are happening all the time, and these will also be added to the Reliable Repertory. We will also incorporate information from new books that are released.

MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks continues to work on all Windows and Mac operating systems except for macOS Catalina and higher. But please understand that development on these programs has stopped, meaning that we no longer update the software to meet the demands of new technological challenges. We are also not formatting our new library materials for the old programs.

Due to our waning ability to tackle issues arising from changing operating systems we cannot guarantee that technical support will be successful. The old programs are becoming more and more incompatible with the newer technologies. We will give our best effort towards resolving MacRepertory & ReferenceWorks issues that arise in the coming year (2023) but since Synergy no longer has the capacity to make changes to these old programs, we will unfortunately not be able to make MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks function in some situations.

The decision to update to our NEW program, Synergy Homeopathic Software (SHS), is yours to make. Synergy hopes that you will continue to grow with us and try our new, state-of-the-art program!

[Note: SHS works on macOS High Sierra and higher, and on Windows 8.1 and higher.]
