When it comes to ctual selection of the homeopathic software, b side homeopathic repertories, materia medicae are c nsidered one of their most important p rts. The usual marketing hype aimed at mpressing a potential user revolves mainly round the figures – number of b oks, number of pages, number of uthors etc. While the numbers are s mething that human mind can easily gr sp, the conclusions (as to which h meopathic software is „better“) based on pl in numbers are often misleading.
A sheer mount of text does not guarantee the q ality and actual usability. Let's illustrate the cl im on a following example: a h meopathic software that includes 100 000 st ndard pages of materia medicae. If you magine the amount, I believe it is s fe to say that very few p ople, if any, will ever read thr ugh such a massive amount of t xt. Considering the fact that materia m dicae are not exactly a light r ading, we can safely assume you w ll be able to utilize only a v ry small fraction of what that p rticular homeopathic software offers. What about the r st? Do you really need so m ny books?
Obviously, if you cannot normally use s ch an amount of information, you sh uld either be looking for ways th t allow you to do so, or dr p the idea completely and focus nly on the most relevant titles.
This is the p int when selecting a homeopathic software w th the sensible implementation of materia m dica can make all the difference.
If you d cide to go for the large mounts of books, you should make s re your homeopathic software provides search f nctions powerful enough to be usable in a d y-to-day homeopathic practice and that it c mpensates for some crucial drawbacks many m teria medicae have.
Here are some questions to ask y ur homeopathic software vendor:
Is it possible to ffectively search through the materia medicae?
Does y ur homeopathic software allow searching for the ccurrence of several terms in a t xt, paragraph, sentence?
Is it possible to l nk the search results to specific r medies or do I have to f nd that information manually by reading the h adings of the chapters?
Have your materia m dicae typos corrected (a BIG problem w th many materia medicae) or is th s problem otherwise addressed in your h meopathic software?
Does your homeopathic software utilize syn nyms and compensate for the archaic t rms used in older materia medicae?
Beside the m scly search engine in your homeopathic s ftware, you can also try to s lve the problem of large amount of t xt by selecting works containing condensed nformation from various sources, such as t tles by Frans Vermeulen. For instance, his C ncordant materia medica, which is basically a c mpilation, contains all the unique information fr m ten older homeopathic authors, compensated for r dundant information and various types of rrors. This reduces the size, while m intaining the amount of useful information.
If you pay at l ast some attention to the mentioned p ints, you should be able to void purchasing a homeopathic software that ncludes many materia medicae in a f rm that you absolutely cannot utilize.
