  1. Saine Repertory - New repertory for Vision!

    Posted on

    Released for use with Vision on October 1st 2024 this new repertory aims to provide far more accurate repertorisation analysis by using only researched and proven repertory content.

    Essentially, the Saine Repertory strips out of the Complete Repertory many of the newly proven remedies that have little to no supportive case evidence  and adds back in only additions that have been researched in our literature and been shown to be effective.

    It is based on the original and beloved Complete Repertory 4.5 and so has none of the structural chapter and rubric organisation changes made to Complete over the recent years.

    This repertory is available to purchase as an option for use with your Vision system and claims to improve the accuracy of your prescriptions.

  2. Complete Repertory 2024 edition released

    Posted on

    Introduced in Vision version 2.0007.004 in WinVision and version 2.0008 in MacVision this edition of the Complete is available as an option to purchase with Vision.

    The author also offers a chargeable upgrade to Complete 2024 at an attractive price to users of previous versions.

    What's new and improved?

    This edition is a result of the large amount of available additions (from January-May 2024 118.934 additions were made from 1072 sources):

    1. The usual verification work of adding Rx from clinical cases (many sources, including MMPP data – see following parapgraph) into Complete Repertory 2024 rev. I has also continued. Therefore, although a lot of new provings data was entered, the percentage of clinical information (cured cases) represented some repertories and still on par with Complete Repertory 2024 previous editions. We focused on clinical cases based on the remedies from the new provings and many older cases, prescribing smaller remedies.

    As a result higher grades frequently apply for many of these remedies in the repertory, leading to better analytical results in repertorization and therefore better results in practice.


    2. Additions from the Materia Medica Pura project (MMP project) by André Saine and a dedicated group of colleagues, (24.658 extra additions). The initial work was started 25+ years ago by André, with data exchange between André and me(Roger van Zandvoort), however that exchange was postponed –but has now been revived and completed.

    3. From Provings published in the last 70+ years, 56 provings were added by Dr. Rajesh Rajendran. 

    Additions have been made from these provings:




  3. Vision version 2.0007 released

    Posted on

    Another free upgrade is available for all Vision v2 users. V2.0007 is for both Windows & Mac. It contains:

    Keyboard Shortcuts
    For those who like to use the keys to make things happen more quickly we have added lots of key shortcuts for you to use. You can read about these shortcuts once you have updated to v2.0007 by clicking the Help menu in Vision and then selecting Keyboard shortcuts.

    Repertorisation Chart
    We have made lots of improvements to the repertorisation chart

    Automatic saving of your settings
    If you change the settings on your chart, for example, the Analysis type, Order, or Filters, Vision will remember these and automatically set them up for you the next time you start Vision.

    Show only number of rubrics
    It is now possible to suppress the display of boxes denoting Kingdom Colours and Remedy Grade Totals. This is provided for those users who wish to focus solely on the number of rubrics each remedy covers in the case without the distraction of other coloured boxes. You can access and set these in the Preferences option for the Chart. Here is an example from MacVision:




    New Blend feature
    Vision can now remember your favourite settings in the Chart. All you need do is make the changes to your favourite settings and click the Save Blend button the toolbar of the Chart. Thereafter, if you make any amendments to those settings and want to quickly go back to your regular, favourite settings just click the Restore Blend button. Here is a screenshot from WinVision:

    Keyboard
    All of the keys on your keyboard now control the display of the Chart in the way you would expect. You can use the arrow keys to scroll Left and Right through the remedies and Up and Down the list of rubrics. The End and Home buttons take you instantly to very first or last remedy in the Chart.

    Improved way of finding a remedy on the Chart
    In Windows you can now start typing letters to make Vision jump to the first remedy that matches what you are loking for. If you were looking for Sepia somewhere in your Chart just quickly type SEP and press the Enter key to make Vision jump to it.

    In Mac you must firstly use the keyboard combo of Ctrl+R and then type as described above.

    This is a much quicker way of finding remedies compared to the previous method (find remedy in the chart toolbar) or scrolling through the entire list.

    Version 2.0007 will be automatically updated on Windows systems (if you give permission of course). Mac users will need to download v2.0007 from here https://www.miccant.com/downloads
