Additional Repertories

Classical Repertories
Although the standard Cara provides 2 fabulous contemporary repertories to use there will be times you need to reference other works. This volume adds Boericke, Phatak, and Boger-Boenninghausen's work into your Cara. This pack is optional for use with Cara but supplied as standard if you purchase Cara Professional. And when used with the Professional Pack Cara will search all of these repertories simultaneously for you!

Complete Repertory
This repertory is, as the name implies, the most comprehensive repertory available today. Larger than both Murphy and Synthesis this work is used by many of the world's leading teachers. Many of the original mistakes in Kent are rectified and many thousands of additions from both classical and contemporary sources have been included. This retains the Kentian style of repertory and is the repertory of choice if you need the best repertory there is on your computer.

Materia Medicas
Knowledge of materia medica is vital to every homoeopath. Experienced practitioners and students need to make continual reference to materia medica. It is the foundation of homoeopathy. Cara is an indispensbale tool for working with materia medica. Cara allows you to simply browse an entire materia medica or jump from a repertory rubric in which a remedy is listed directly to all of the materia medica for that remedy.

The Professional Pack upgrade to Cara even allows you to perform word searches on all of the materia medicas and philosophy books simultaneously - all in just a few seconds! Following a search you can even create a rubric comprised of those remedies you have just found and use this in a case to repertorise with!

In addition to the library of classical works provided as standard with Cara you can choose to add any of the following works: -

Thematic Repertory & Materia Medica - Dr Jose Mirilli
When reviewing a patient's case we can often see several 'themes' running through. Mirilli's work allows you to search the repertory for all rubrics of these themes and quickly find those rubrics that express the patient's condition precisely. Over 400 themes are listed here from Abroad to Yielding. For each theme all of the remedy’s that have relevance to the theme are listed along with the full text of the proving symptom recorded in our original materia medicas. The materia medica part of this book lists each remedy in alphabetical order along with every theme the remedy is associated with.

Lotus Materia Medica & Reversed Murphy Repertory- Robin Murphy
Robin Murphy’s materia medica contains entries for over 1200 remedies. In addition to all used homoeopathic remedies also includes all the Bach Flower remedies, all the Bowel Nosodes, all of Julian’s remedies, contemporary provings e.g. Chocolate, Hydrogen, Lac Humanum etc.

Each remedy contained in Murphy’s Repertory has been extracted on a rubric by rubric basis. Each occurrence is listed for each remedy. This provides a unique and comprehensive picture of each remedy. Here you will find remedy entries not contained in any materia medica as the repertory contains lots of invaluable clinical information.

Synoptic 1, Synoptic 2 & Concordant - Frans Vermeulen
Requiring little introduction these books are favourites of all homoeopaths for their content and easy of use. Synoptic 1 provides concise information all leading remedies showing their Modalities, Leading Symptoms and main Rubrics taken from the repertory. Synoptic 2 adds more remedies and for these additionally provides Signs and Remedy Comparisons for each. Having both of these books provides information on over 350 commonly used remedies. Concordant (2nd edition) details the characteristics of remedies and lists reliable and key symptoms for each by part of the body taken extensively from Hering but organised in an easy to use way.

Homoeopathy & Minerals, Homoeopathy & The Elements - Jan Scholten
These wonderful books clearly show the results of Jan Scholten's investigation of the similarities and traits of remedy groups using the periodic table. In fact the Elements book shows the aspects of the 7 different Series and the 18 different Stages of the periodic table. Each remedy belonging to a series and stage is clearly explained and the inner 'feeling' of that remedy shown. An indispensable work to have in your Cara system if you look at remedies in this way and if not, a wonderful work to introduce you to this approach.

Sprit, Substance, Soul of Homoeopathy, Provings, Elements - Rajan Sankaran
Clearly shows the development of Rajan's unique thinking. Spirit and Substance explain the thinking behind the method and contain remedy examples. Soul is a delightful explanation of 100 remedies presented in Rajan's unique way. He clearly identifies the miasm each is associated with and the 'inner feeling' of each remedy along with supporting information drawn from the repertory and materia medica. Provings contains all of Rajan's recent provings including such remedies as Coca-Cola, Black Mamba, Goat's Milk, Human Milk, Lion's Milk, Polystyrene and others.

Dynamic Provings vol 1 & the Dynamics of Provings - Jeremy Sherr
The newly proven remedies, Hydrogen, Scorpion, Chocolate, Neon, Iridium, Germanium, Brassica and Adamas are contained in full in Jeremy's first compilation of provings by the Dynamis School, Dynamic Provings vol 1. The book Dynamics of Provings, a neglected work by many (because they associate it only with provings) is actually the closest you will get to perceiving the philosophy behind Jeremy's teachings.

Homeopathy Renewed - Rudi Verspoor
Clearly explains the theory and principles of homeopathic sequential therapy. This therapy concentrates on the identification and treatment of 'blockages' and obstacles to cure that we often see in our patients. A controversial approach to some, this approach explains how to treat patients for obstacles even though they may not be exhibiting any symptoms of those obstacles. Read it and judge for yourself!

Psychic Causes of Illness - Dr Cornelia Richardson-Boedler
Details the application of homoeopathy and Bach Flower therapy to psychosomatic illness. If you have ever wanted to broaden your knowledge and get ‘into’ the Bach Flower remedies this is the book for you!

The Future
Currently we are planning to release even more books into Cara's electronic library. By the year 2000 we will have released over 200 classical works. Remember, Cara with the Professional Pack upgrade will search every volume simultaneously looking for your search words!
