RADAR Was: How to learn the Boenninghausen repertory and method

Ellen Madono · Post by **Ellen Madono** » Sat Sep 20, 2008 9:49 am

Dear Robyn,

I think you are right in that you use what you have. I was thrilled last night when I did a Boenninghausen case using his paper pocket book rep. Actually, I had thought that a Kentian rep could be used to do a Boenninghausen one sided physical case. That is possible, but not a very good practice if you have better more specific tools. The sky is the limit in terms of what is possible for better and better reps for specific purposes. They are still being developed. I was surprised to learn that the emphasis is not on including new remedies, rather it is on confirming the use of well proven remedies.

It is inspiring to see rep makers out there putting their heart an soul into a product that currently has such a small market. The Boenninghausen rubrics are constructed for his repping style. I think what you feel is bad mouthing of other earnest homeopaths and rep makers is actually us trying to understand differences of philosophy and interest. I don't think we have absolute answers, but still we are thinking and trying to do the best with what we have. As you say, repping is only the beginning of the remedy choosing process. Nevertheless, If you don't have all the details down correctly, you will like me have some misconceptions. It is best to correct foggy understanding. I think my distance course spent about 5 pages on Boenninghausen. Of course I will never know correct my understanding if I don't seek to know more from homeopaths who have invested much more time and energy into implementing the method than I have. Once I have the basic idea correctly understood, I too will move toward implementation with the best tools that I can at any time gather. I am very thankful for those who have stuck their neck out to give clear direction to me and to others who may be equally confused.

I have Synthesis and clearly Synthesis 9.1 is moving in the direction of including Boenninghausen rubrics. But the process is not as simple as I would suppose. Each rep maker has his own standards. The one who is clearer about what matters is of course the most persuasive. I will stay with Synthesis and hope that they can catch up to the Complete 2008. The Complete 2005 included Boenninghausen rubrics. That is what Radar is now selling (and will discontinue). 2008 still is not finished with incorporating all the Boenninghausen rubrics. So the process has to be complex. They are looking at other classical works to increase the number of remedies in those rubrics. It is not totally clear to me at least how Boenninghausen chose his remedies. But I really think it will require investment in the Boenninghausen method and philosophy. For some reason, they cannot just copy the Complete. The interview with Frederik Schroyens (the editor) said that they have also streamlined rubrics so you don't have rubrics with the same meaning. That's a good move, but unrelated to the Boenninghausen method. Perhaps it all a matter of emphasis.

Sharp critique is always helpful. Then we deal with what we actually have. Sharp critique helps us to understand ideals and directions for future learning. Without that, I personally am lost in the detail of daily study. Staying motivated and focused requires ideals and direction.

Best,
Ellen

Completely agree Robyn:-)

Radar has stood me in good stead for many years now, used as a TOOL -
as you described.

Dear Minutus group members
Hello and lots of thanks to you for your high responsiblity towards your patients .Radar is very good tool to find the most proper remedy ,but we shouldn't be totally dependent of it or any other remedy finder software .We should try to know most needed polycrest remedies and to increase our knowledge of M.M. and most approved repertories like Kent Hahnemmann in order to prescribe the best possible remedy for our patients.
Best Wishes ,S.A.Sadeghi M.D.
