Julian Winston quoted Dr. Stuart Close WISDOM
"The idea that only experts in materia medica can succeed in cases of the class we are considering is a fallacious and demoralizing one, which is often made the excuse for shirking a plain duty. It is true that success is usually proportionate to the skill of the prescriber; that the simillimum will accomplish more than the merely similar remedy. But it is also true that the results obtained by even a moderate degree of skill, loyally and consistently exercised, are vastly better than the results of other methods. It may be that only the master can select the simillimum, but even the tyro can select a similar, if he tries, and accomplish some good. Certainly he will do no harm, as he will if he resorts to other measures. Let him but do the best he can, and strive always to do better, and all will be well. Let him know, also, that to the one who performs his work in this spirit, "inward revelations" are sometimes given, by which he is richly rewarded for his faith and loyalty to principle. The simillimum has sometimes been found by the humblest among us, who make no pretensions to expertness, and marvelous cures have been thereby effected when they were least expected. Such rewards come only to those who are in "The Way", ready and worthy to receive them."
"He must know the method of finding the similar remedy for every case. This does not mean that he must have the entire materia medica in his head as some pretend to think; but that having the materia medica on his library shelves, (he will have some library shelves, if he is wise, and books to fill ´em) he must know how to find what he needs. He will therefore require at least one good repertory and the ability to use it. With this modest technical equipment, and a modicum of brains, he will be able to do very well."
From this WISDOM you just need a repertory and you can start practice. :( You don't need to understand any thing, If you can afford to purchase a repertory. Further reading is available on www.lyghtforce.com mailing list.

In Homeopathy, there is no big (homeopath) everybody is small. ;) Because each doctor has its own interpretation of the rules. I disagree with julian.

Hi Dr.SS
You are totally wrong.A repertory is just the arrangement of symptoms in alphabetical order,as the author seems fit.
All the repertories differ in the number of medicines,and even the names of the medicines,for the same symtom,most of the time.
Which repertory you will take as standard?
To become a successful prescriber,one should have a few repertories on hand,no doubt,but he should be thorough in Philosophy,and should have a good number of materia medicas by different authors,to compare the disease image and drug image in its totality.
Any medicine,which comes out after reperterisation,is to be studied in materia medica,to confirm the similiarity.
Many times repertory throwsup not one,but a handful of medicines,and what do you do in such cases?
Whatever remedies you think suitable,either from repertory,or by experience,or by intution,it is imperative to cross check in MM.
And if you don't have knowledge in Philosophy and Posology,where do you begin.Which potency will you chose?How do you decide when to stop and when to repeat?
I am rather amused and feel sorry for you for having the notion that you can become a good prescriber,if you only have a repertory.
