Complete Repertory 2016 by Roger van Zandvoort

This is the latest and largest repertory from Roger van Zandvoort, released April 2016.

A lot of work went into this yearly release of the Complete Repertory version 2016. After years of mostly concentrating on remedy additions from cured cases, this time once more an original materia medica and repertory, Carl Friedrich Trinks’ Handbuch der homoöpatischen Arzneimittellehre from 1847, has been added, a primary Materia Medica much like Hahnemann’s Materia Medica Pura, only with more remedy provings and toxicology.

A very nice detail in Trink’s opus is the fact that all remedies have been graded using Bönninghausen’s grade system (of course), resulting in lowest degree, plain type, and second degree, italics, additions. These additions, combined with already available info from practice (cured cases) will often up the grading from lowest or second degree (i.e. provings/toxicology or single cured case-additions without proving/toxicology) to third or even fourth degree additions (provings/toxicology AND cured) which will make analyses with the programs that include this information, i.e. include Complete Repertory 2016 more refined.

Next to Trinks’ work, around 760 more articles from the Homoeopathic Recorder and to a lesser degree from the British Homoeopathic Journal have been read and remedies from these have been added into the Complete Repertory.

As a reaction on a promise made during a repertory-workshop with George Vithoulkas around 2000 in Alonnisos for those working on Repertory, in which it was concluded that much more cured case-info should be added into the existing repertory material, for the Complete Repertory nearly 3000 sources have been consulted since then to update the repertory with more cured material.
