Homeopathy Apps for your devices

[Ellen Madono]

Hi all,

If you are planning to use Dr. Frie's Polarity Analysis (PA) program, I doubt that a Boenninghausen app would help. I use Dr. Frie's program from an ipad sometimes when I am working with a patient. Obviously, you need net access. But the screen of an iphone is too small. The polarity analysis questionnaire is so short that sometimes I take the case on paper covering the entire questionnaire and then fill it in later on a computer. But, it helps to be doing the case in the PA software while taking the case just because you can look at your results and immediately ask confirming questions.

I have the Boenninghaused program edited by George Dimitriatis. After working with PA, I lack the scholarly energy to go back to Dr. Dimitriatis's text. No doubt, the struggles among homeopathic scholars is essential to homeopathy in general, but at this point, I am focused on my own cases and material to back up my analysis. Usually, a computer and much larger programs are necessary. But in many cases. Dr. Frie's work is my first choice for research. The big guns are helpful, but not necessarily absolutely necessary. Research into just ordinary traditional MM is plenty. Dr. Frie says that he uses only Herring's MM and that is available on Firefly below.

I am very curious about apps available for my devices. Frequently I am without books or a computer and I am thinking through a case. Being able to look up rubrics and MM is really helpful. Here is what I have found. I would appreciate further feedback. I have only an iPhone and an iPad, so I don't know about Androids.

1. Synthesis is available on iPhone. A professional homeopath casually did my case and even repertorized it on his iPhone. Using his iPhone rep, he did not come up with the remedy that he chose, but he was able to quickly repertorize and check rubrics. Not sure what version the Synthesis is in the iPhone. Not very expensive relative to what he could do.

2. Homeopathic Firefly gives you access to most of the classical texts. If you get those text in for example a Kindle, they typically are lacking a table of contents. So, finding the remedy that you are working on is time-consuming. Firefly quickly and easily goes directly to the remedy that you are researching. Very inexpensive and much better than buying these books one at a time from Amazon etc. It has MM, therapeutic books and more.

3. Complete dynamics is fast. I have not mastered how to maneuver with it. I would be eager to hear how it compares with the Synthesis. It's remedy filter requires you to wait forever. I use the CD all the time on the computer so this mini version just seems too slow and clunky for doing a real case. Maybe ok for looking up rubrics and seeing what is available. I bet someone else has better experiences than me.

4. MM live pro has wonderful video presentations of remedies. The problem is the audio is very poor. But if nothing else, the presentations are fun and informative to me.

5. Clinical tips. Ok if you happen to be looking for what they provide which is limited. I much prefer Firefly (above) with access to original texts. Even as a beginner, I was never able to clue into those kinds of books. Now, they make a little more sense, but my guess is I am just not good enough to make really good use of something like that.

Any other experience to share?

Best,
Ellen Madono

Hi Ellen,

Have a go with this one . It needs persistence but at least it is free. I use it if I only have my phone with me and need to rep. It has MM on it as well

Hi Rochelle,

I will probably pay for Synthesis on the phone.

For me even on a phone, I am willing to pay a little if repping is easy. Lazy, but more than that, if I am working with a patient, being distracted with software difficulties is just too much. Also, access to Synthesis is a big advantage. I mostly use The Complete, but Synthesis has many great additions. I hope they have Dr. Master's additions. I still have to get it working though.

Best,
Ellen

If you can afford it, the new SHS from Synergy, replacing Reference Works and MacRepertory will also be available for phone and tablets...that is what I have been told.

The Synthesis for iOS is very limited. I rarely use it. It has nothing but the repertory with very little capability. There is no MM. I might use it for a client followup where I wanted to check some rubrics but not for analysing a case. I was very dissappointed that they never expanded its capabilities.
Complete Dynamics, on the other hand, is a fully capable repertory and MM and if I didnt have access to my laptop I would use it to analyze a case. The interface takes some getting used to if you are used to using RadarOpus.
I would be cautious about the future of the SHS. I am going to wait to see how it develops; whether the user interface is intuitive and functional and how reliable it will be. I am going to wait for at least V1.1.

Dr. Roz,

I am guessing that the SHS is the interface. The work of Who??? the homeopath who created the interface for Reference works. A real working homeopath, not just an armchair theorist. I believe he is not alive anymore but I am grateful to him. (He wrote an MM on trees and I don't see his name when I open up Reference Works.) Anyway, he takes you directly to the words around the word you are searching for. It's fast and the context tells it all. I use it much more than I use MacRepertory. The Synergey people must not be nice to the people who contribute to MacRepertory because what I need is not updated. I can't find the newest work of Mangialavori, for example. Synthesis at least shows Dr. Master's newest additions. The Complete is much better for repping. Much faster and more intuitive. But, Reference works cannot be beaten for looking through the literature. If they can get that on an ipad, my homeopathy home visit bag will be a lot lighter.
Best,
Ellen

I have used MacRep and RefW since I started practising....I tried others, Radar, Hompath, no comparison; the HomeoQuest one, in its full Platinum edition is good but works differently, the search method is different but it works very well once you have your head around it.

BTW, my Repertory and Materia Medica of Dynamic Gemmotherapy will be included in SHS!!! Pretty cool!

Looking Forward to seeing your additions. Thanks Dr. Roz.
