Radar wanted for one year

[Irene de Villiers]

Three main volumes.
But I agree it is a good MM, esp as value for money. Some of them require me to discover something better than diamonds in my backyard.

Several MMs are multi-volume; Allen, Vithoulkas, Murphy, Hering, Gentry..
I cut my teeth on Boericke's "pocket" Rep & MM, and still use it as my travel volume.
I do use Radar daily however these days.
Namaste,
Irene

You can do something similar in Radar though......
You can do a comparison under any homeopathic chapter for any selected remedies, showing rubrics for several options
eg rubrics occurring in all the chosen rems
or eg those rubrics in only one of the selected rems and not in any others,
or.... etc

I wish I could afford to have MacRep AND Radar.
I find that each has benefits over the other - eg Radar has a lot of very small rubrics that are not in MacRep - but MacRep has a wider selection of remedies under some important-to-me concepts/rubrics.

I tend to edit things into Radar (as I do not own MacRep)n to enhance it towards what I want.
For example I use the rubric for granulomas from MacRep, which I've added to the one in Radar to enhance it. The reason is I work with one of the rare diseases that makes granulomas. And I've developed some new rubrics through my work which I have added as well (See my FIP paper in Hpathy Nov 2009).
I do not want to know what remedy characteristics show through so much as I want to see what patient symptoms shine through
I feel it is almost a disadvantage to know a remedy well, as then one is biased and can too easily fall into the trap of trying to fit a remedy to the patient - instead of the right way round - of using the patient's *symptoms* to *lead* to the best matching remedy.
For this reason I repertorize EVERY time, however "sure" I am that such and such remedy seems to stick me in the eye for a case.

Namaste,
Irene

Thank you everyone for constructive input! Complete Dynamics is the program I use now. It actually has an option to see how the rep would look like if done by hand - NOT to replace the experience, just to compare. I've won my spurs doing manual rep for many years with different repertories. Also, I've used trial version of Radar, but it did not include all chapters so I could never compare manual to computer generated rep. I agree with ?Paul who subjected his computer to sticky wetness and was bound to use books only. Reminds me of a story MD from Latin America once told - apparently over there MD himself has to do all testing for a patient - really brings down the amount of diagnostic tests "ordered" by your doctor if your doctor is the one who has to perform the test : )

I wholeheartedly agree with everybody's remarks, but practically, how does that help Victoria? can anyone help her?

Unless it is written in the student-school contract that the student must purchase the Radar programme, that request from the school seems really, let's say..... incorrect. But can we ask a student to stand up and fight at the very end of her studies? That is what should be done but would anyone of us have done that at the colleges we attended?

is it in the contract? and yes I stood up and fought and left my school, for things I didn't agree with.

Hi Joe,
No we are just throwing in 2 cent comment. But, the only person who can help her is someone who has the program. But, is there not a clause in the purchase agreement that prohibits this?

I must say that many a time have I stood up to refuse to purchase books or equipment that seemed
excessive and not affordable. This is also unfair on the part of the school to demand a student spend
that much money on something they do not need. This request seems more the limitations of the
teacher than the need of the training. And given the lack of funding in homepathy schools, at least
in the US, this demand just seems way off the mark.

Re: school I have no hard feelings. They did let people know at the start of the training that Radar is the program that they need to have. Not sure if it is in the contract. I will not fight them because of it in any case. For two reasons: 1. They still allow manual rep and Radar is to be used only if students want to submit a case using software; 2. I would not do that in university class and don't think this is acceptable behavior just because homeopathy is not part of conventional educational system - for now : )
It is a good school. I've been to several schools prior to finding this one, so I have an idea of baseline and tricks pulled on last year students. Sadly, it seems to be the common trend in many professional training programs in US, not only homeopathy.
Anyway, it is too bad there is no forum for people to share their experiences in different homeopathic schools.
Thanks again - this discussion IS helpful

Not easily. Copyright makes it difficult other than selling one's presumably unwanted copy of Radar, and nobody responded to that request made by Victoria. A little wood burning on this good point though:

* Google, for example I found:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Na ... message/35

* Low-tech option: Find someone physically nearby (not necessarily a student) with Radar installed and rent/acquire/buy/barter computer hours from them using their Radar (easy to do a backup and restore it later).

* Higher-tech option: Find someone with Radar installed, willing to share it, and a techie to set up that computer as a remote terminal accessible from Victoria's computer.

* See if someone has an old version of Radar with its own dongle - less up to date but not bad - that they are willing to sell. (Low likelihood as most people upgrade rather than buying new.) Ask on Craig's list or such like.

* Call WholeHealthNow Radar distributors and ask for a special deal. Sell it later.

* Find another student who DOES want Radar later and negotiate something (in return for making a payment or two etc.)

* Ask the school if they have Radar copies for students to use/rent/check-out, who do not plan to buy it. (The copyright license can accommodate that - one person uses it "at a time").
Many schools have a library. No harm asking.

Namaste,
Irene

Irene has very valid points, I was going to suggest calling or emailing Kim Elia @

I received a very good discount 10 years ago , half off the middle to high priced packages, that was a $2,000 savings. I am thinking that one would keep the software instead of selling it. If one is to be a Homeopath with a business license, in the USA the program is tax deductible, as are the books and everything a Homeopath needs to run a business.

Just my thoughts....

Thank you
