When I first encountered Homeopathy back in the sixties, I gained the impression that the primary purpose of repertorisation was to find a single remedy that most closely matched the TOTALITY of the patient's symptoms, the 'similimum'. Many years later, I discovered that in practice, Homeopaths most ordinarily ony included a relatively small number (7-8) of what they considered the most significant rubrics in their repertorisational analysis.

In the first prescription for cases of serious chronic disease, would it not be more appropriate and beneficial to the patient to do an exhaustive repertoriasational analysis which would include as many rubrics as were evident in the case?

Thank you,
