Remedies and References

A rubric shows its text, followed by Remedies and References.

Remedies can be shown in 4 gradations. The gradations are distinguished by showing them in different syles and colors. In this example, these are: - 4: cham, lyc, NUX-V. - 3: abies-n, acon, am-c, anac, androc, aur ... - 2: Alco, Bung-f, Dulc, Ip, Nit-ac, Sarr, Sil, Staph. - 1: acon-f, agath-a, agki-p, aloe, am-m ... References to other rubrics follow the list of remedies. In this example, there are 10 references. Simple click on the reference to jump to the rubric referred to.

Full or Compact view

Hiding remedies and references

In compact view, only rubrics are shown, with the number of remedies they contain, hiding the remedies to optimally use the available screen space. (Menu option View / Remedies / Show remedies, toolbar button ). Use the space bar to toggle between full view and compact view.

When you press the space bar twice, the references will also be hidden, showing only the rubric names. To hide or show all remedies and references, double click on any white space of the page. You can also double click on a rubric label.

Hiding sub rubrics

It is also possible to hide all sub rubrics, thus showing only the top level rubrics of the repertory. (Menu option Book / Main rubrics only, popup menu option Main rubrics only).
This option is extremely useful for people who want to learn the structure of the repertory.

You can easily go back to showing all rubrics. (Menu option Book / Main rubrics only, popup menu option Main rubrics only).
You can also switch back to the normal repertory view by clicking on a rubric.

Extra information

Hovering the mouse over any text in the book can display additional information about that text, where appropriate.
This information is shown in the message area at the lower left bottom of the window.
In the example above, moving the mouse will reveal the following information:

Mouse over rubric text ABUSIVE	This rubric originates from three original sources: - Kent's Repertory, page 1 - Barthel & Klunker's Synthetic Repertory, volume 1, page 7 - Künzli's Repertorium Generale, page 1.

Mouse over reference Contemptous	The rubric reffered to is Mind; Contemptous.

Limiting the information shown

In addition to switching between full and compact view, it is possible to limit the number of remedies shown.
This is done by pressing the keyboard keys 1, 2, 3, or 4. This will limit the shown remedies to only those that have at least the given gradation 1, 2, 3, or 4. (Menu option View / Remedies / All grades, toolbar button , menu option View / Remedies / Grade 2+, toolbar button , menu option View / Remedies / Grade 3+, toolbar button , menu option View / Remedies / Grade 4, toolbar button , popup menu option Remedies / All grades, popup menu option Remedies / Grade 2+, popup menu option Remedies / Grade 3+, popup menu option Remedies / Grade 4).

Copying a rubric to the clipboard

Available language options can be selected from the menu or via the button bar. (Menu option Book / Language / Book English, popup menu option Language / Book English). (Flag button, )

Remedy filter

It is possible to restrict the remedies shown.
An option is available in the toolbar, by which you can select a group of remedies.

A number of frequently used groups are predefined (minerals, plants, animals, nosodes). To choose another group, simply select option Other... and a dialog will appear in which you can select one of the groups in the Kingdoms & Families section.

Book module standard repertory filters

Normally, the Book module shows the complete contents of the Complete Repertory.

A few standard filters are available. You can select them via the menu bar, or via the popup menus on the edges of the page. (Menu option Book / Book selection / Complete, popup menu option Book selection / Complete).

Complete	Show the entire repertory, without filtering.
Classic	Show only rubrics and remedies from classic authors. This limits the repertory to rubrics that occur in the main classic repertories, and remedies from books before 1930.
Reliable authors	Show only authors that are considered to be the most reliable, according to George Vithoulkas.
Kent rubrics	Repertory is limited to rubrics derived from Kent's repertory.
Rubrics from Allen's Therapeutic Pocket Book	Repertory is limited to rubrics derived from Allen's Therapeutic Pocket Book.

User definable repertory filters can be created in the Master edition.

If a filter is selected, its name is shown in the header of the repertory book layout. This way you can easily see which repertory option you are using.

Note: The repertory filters are applied only to the contents of the Complete Repertory.
In case your license supports the use of additional repertories, or in case you have created extra repertory material yourself, the filters do not apply to that material.
