Rubric different in some reps? why

[Marleen]

Hi all,

I have a question regarding different reps, how come that some rubrics
mention remedies
in high score when you can not find the same rubric/remedy in Kent?

like for instance
generals, convulsions, uremic i can not find the remedy kali brom under
that rubric in
Kent and yet the same remedy gets a 3 in an other repertory?

can someone explain why?
this is just one example as im sure there are others, just trying to see the
importance
if thats happening

Dear Marleen,

Good question. What other repertories are you referring to? I would assume they're more recent ones than Kent's? The divergence of remedies in rubrics in different repertories has to do with what sources the repertory compiler used and how the compiler coded the data. Synthesis and Universale for instance, represent attempts to cast a wide net and compile data from provings and clinical accounts to which Kent did not have access, or which he did not choose to use. A lot of homeopathic research (provings, cases,) has taken place in the 100+ years since Kent was compiling his repertory, so Kent's repertory, while a remarkable work, is not necessarily the last word or the ultimate arbiter of what remedies correspond to what symptoms.

Hi Rosemary,

Murphy in this example.
What you say below that was what i already was thinking that it were the
newer reps or programs like radar that had more and newer information.

so does that mean that Kent is outrun and only to be used for an extra and
not as
only one to use? are those that only use Kent at fault? because i would
imagen that in
repping a case one gets other remedies that come higher in rep when using
the new
programs or Kent.

Kent did know Kali brom, he used it in other rubrics, so i found it strange,

thanks for the answer! appreciated by me, learning all the time.

*****Hi Marleen,
To add to what Rosemary has already said, here is some info on that
particular rubric from Synthesis in Radar.

GENERALS - CONVULSIONS - uremic has KALI-BR as 3rd grade.
The source references for this remedy in this rubric are Beoricke and Knerr.
From Boericke, it has come from 2 rubrics
p.810: URINARY SYSTEM - Kidneys- Symptoms uraemia - Convulsions:: Kali-br::
DG1
and
p.943: NERVOUS SYSTEM - Convulsions - Uraemic :: Kali-br.1:: DG1

Knerr's reference is cited as being from his repertory for Herings Guiding
Symtpms dated 1896
And, Boericke's dates are 1927. Knerr gives ita top rating from Hering
system (4th represents repeatedly confirmed)so, I guess this is why it has
been given such a high rating. However, I can't find it in Hering, so Knerr
has gleaned maybe after the Guiding Symptoms were published.

Kents rep. seems to be dated around 1897, and not sure when his revisions
were included- which means that he missed it, maybe not having access to
newer info that had not been included in the Guiding symptoms - as it is
known that he used Hering in his compilation - or he just didn't have access
to this info at the time - or maybe he was fussy about info
etc..................

A bit of trivia, but hope helpful

Best
