The information on magnets introduced by Bönninghausen, but kept out of the Repertory by Kent, has been added again - Magnetis polus arcticus, Magnetis polus australis and Magnetis poli ambo.

There are also remedies whose information has increased substantially. of. 197 remedies contain more than 50% extra information as compared to Synthesis 8.1V. Most remedies are expanded on the basis of different author references.

The most important ones are: Adrenalinum, Aqua marina, Azadirachta indica, Bacillinum, Cassia sophera, Cina, Diosma lincaris, Gettysburg aqua, Heloderma, Manganum aceticum, Metylenum coeruleum, Natrium salicylicum, Ornithogalum umbellatum, Piper nigrum, Proteus, Rosmarinus officinalis (Bernard Long and P Cayrel), Strophantus sarmentosus (Stephenson), Strychninum phosphoricum, Sulfonalum, Ulmus campestris, Vanadium metallicum, Viola tricolor and Xanthium spinosum.

Information from classical authors has been increased, with the emphasis on Boger and Bönninghausen.

All the information from the Introduction and the Mind sectrions of all the remedies in Boericke's Materia Medica (br1) has been integrated (14,717 additions).

More than 10,600 additions have been made on the basis of the popular book "Clinical Observation of Children's Remedies" by Farokh Master.

Source information vastly increased

Source information vastly increased

All Synthesis additions coming from the four b-bg repertories contain the original text of the source. Since version 8, Synthesis has already had thousands of remedies with the original Materia Medica text attached.
We have aggressively pursued this approach, so that Synthesis 9 now comes with 448,000 author notes or 21,820 pages of source information attached to it: The Source Repertory!

Remedies copied to analogous superrubrics

Remedies copied to analogous superrubrics

We went through every single rubric in the Mind chapter to decide for every subrubric whether it was appropriate to copy its remedies into the superrubric or the main rubric. This proved to be the only way to make sure that no remedies from contradictory subrubrics were copied (just imagine -- someone - or a computer - would copy the remedies from „LAUGHING - never“ into the rubric „ LAUGHING “!).

Every addition of a remedy to a superrubric is labeled with a small down arrow so that it is very easy to see that this remedy comes from a subrubric.

In addition, a new Repertory view is offered where these remedies can be hidden "Full Synthesis, rmd not copied ". If this view is selected, you will see rubrics without any remedies added from subrubrics.
The additional remedies from the subrubrics are only displayed when the " Full Synthesis, rmd copied" Repertory View is selected.

Yet another step to make sure that all the remedies for your case will be in the rubrics you select.

New Separate Repertories

New Separate Repertories

Two reasons why we offer Separate Repertories

• The integration of a repertory into Synthesis starts from the source, just as for a case or a Materia Medica. This separate repertory exists in its totality. It is from here that all links to Synthesis are made to show that the full source is integrated and how it is integrated. Transparency of the quality of our work is the first reason to offer these separate repertories to the end-user.

   

• Some of these separate repertories are voluminous and the main tool used by some homeopaths. If they wish they can use this repertory, or combination of repertories, separately along with Radar. Such smaller packages may be an easy entry for homeopaths that are not yet up to using the very voluminous Synthesis.

   

• Still, it is our goal to integrate all information into Synthesis. With version 9.0 the information of the four major b-bg repertories is already integrated. With version 9.1 the information from Boericke's "Repertory" (bro1) and Phatak's "Concise Repertory" (ptk1) will be integrated as well. We will continue to integrate homeopathic information into upcoming versions of Synthesis.

Which Separate Repertories are available?

There are five larger Separate Repertories, which, though smaller than Synthesis, cover all chapters.

• Boericke O.: Repertory
• Clarke J. H.: Clinical Repertory
• Phatak S. R.: Concise Repertory
• Roberts H.: Sensations as if
• Ward J.: Sensations as if

A number of smaller repertories focus most often on a given pathology and are available as one volume

• Bhatia V. R.: Miniature Repertory of Remedies in Common Cold
• Choudhury: Hints for Treatment of Cancer
• Drake O.: Repertory of warts and condylomata
• Foster J.: Toothache and its cure
• Guernsey J.: Repertory of Haemorrhoids
• Master F.: Hair loss
• Pulford A. and T.D.: Repertory of Pneumonia
• Sudarshan S.R.: Repertory of non malarial fevers
• Sukumaran N.: Main Symptoms of Heart Problems

Four New Concept Chapters

Four New Concept Chapters

• DeskTop Companion - Physical Concepts (by Roger Morrison and Dorin Dragos)
  
  • Roger Morrison initially divided the main complaints of the local chapters in the repertory into several categories. Example: headache related to weather, to cold air, to emotions, etc.
  • Dorin Dragos has taken this work a step further by adding the numerous symptoms of Synthesis to all these categories.
  • This allows you to find all the symptoms where cold air affects headaches in one easy step. In this instance, as in many other, there are many more symptoms for this category than the known rubric "head - pain - cold air agg.".
  • There are about 1,000 concepts to choose from.
• Mind concepts (by Dorin Dragos)
  
  • The symptoms of the mind have been divided into several practical categories. In order to do so, Dorin Dragos (Rumania) has used the classification of mental symptoms of Roget’s Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases (new edition prepared by Betty Kirkpatrick MA, Penguin Books Ltd, London, 1999).
  • In many categories the last subcategory is "increased" or "decreased", which allows for a clear distinction of the related symptoms.
  • One example: "thinking" is divided into three possible disturbances: increased, decreased, and difficult thinking. For each category the repertory offers several precise symptoms, which are now easy to find.
• Children's Concepts (by Roberto Petrucci)
  
  • More than 2,900 children's symptoms are listed in meaningful categories by Roberto Petrucci. They include groups such as "dentition", "infectious diseases" and "development". Other concepts come straight out of the practice of Dr. Petrucci and make may unknown repertory symptoms easily visible: "attitude towards animals", "attitude towards family", "observations during the night", "non-verbal symptoms - observed by the parents", etc.
• Latent Psora (by Isidre Lara)
  
  • Hahnemann has drawn our attention to the symptoms of Latent Psora in his "Chronic Disease". Dr. Lara has collected these symptoms per chapter so that they are an easy reference during the consultation.

Boger-Bönninghausen Repertories integrated

Boger-Bönninghausen Repertories integrated

The major Repertory work of these pioneer homeopaths has been fully integrated into Synthesis. The new information has been documented in a very transparent way. The individualized, Kentian symptoms have been integrated seamlessly with the generalized, Bönninghausen symptoms, respecting both approaches.

Which repertories were added?

Bönninghausen is most renown for his "Therapeutic Pocket Book" (b2), but he also wrote two other repertories: the two volumes of the "Systematisch-Alfabetisches Repertorium" (b4b7). Both books contain hundreds of pages; one offers "anti-psoric, anti-syphilitic and anti-sycotic remedies" (b4) and the other "non-anti-psoric remedies" (b7).

Boger collated the work of Bönninghausen and his own work into the "Boger Bönninghausen Repertory" (bg2). He also published two more repertories: the "Synoptic Key" (bg3) and the "General Analysis" (bg11).

These six repertories have been encoded and are available in their totality, as separate repertories that can be used at the same time as Synthesis. In addition, all the information from b2, b4, b7 and bg2 has been integrated into Synthesis 9.0 and is available there as well.

• At last the handwritten additions of Bönninghausen have been added to b4 and b7.
  • Encoded from the sources with the greatest care for quality
  • The original source was used for all six repertories, whether English or German. The encoded symptoms and remedies were triple checked by different teams to ensure the highest possible accuracy and reliability.
• Integrating b-bg symptoms with the Kentian Synthesis symptoms
  
  • All existing Synthesis (version 8) symptoms have remained unaltered. The generalized b-bg symptoms have been integrated in between the Synthesis symptoms without disrupting each other. Synthesis 9 offers a seamless integration of individualized and generalized symptoms within one Repertory .
• Three new chapters
  
  • As some b-bg symptoms could not easily be integrated into the existing 38 Synthesis chapters, three new chapters were created.
  • A most transparent integration
  • The addition and/or integration of the six b-bg repertories has been fully documented and can easily be verified in the sources or in Synthesis.
• Benefits of this integration
  
  • The integration of these b-bg repertories in Synthesis offers the homeopath a number of benefits .
  • A wider range of information allows him to use the most appropriate rubric for his patient with increased precision.
