TESTIMONIALS

Don’t Take Our Word for it - Ask Any
of These Great Teachers We are very proud of our MacRepertory and
ReferenceWorks.
They are elegant, visionary, powerful and easy to use. We believe they are the best in the world. But there is no need to simply take our word for it; ask the world’s greatest homeopaths, many of whom also serve on our design team.
Whatever their philosophy or approach
these great homeopaths all choose our programs to prescribe at their best.
I just installed MacRepertory. IT'S STUNNING. Absolutely beautiful to work
with."
~ Alastair Gray, Australia

I cannot suppress my enthusiasm. I have
already found remedies I would never have thought of without the programs!!"
~ Alize Timmermann, Holland
You did a fantastic job. It is nice to look at
good for the heart and eyes. It is full of great information good for the
brain and ears. It is intuitive and easy to operate good for the health!"
~ Andreas Bjorndal, MD, Norway
I
think MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks are the best Homeopathic software by far,
and have certainly helped my prescribing... GREAT STUFF!!"
~ Andrew Marsh, USA
The programs are by far the best ever made. The wide spectrum of possibilities
to analyse, repertorize and search for the remedy is unique with MacRepertory.
And it is like miracle to get information about a remedy which is not well known
yet through ReferenceWorks. I can't say enough about these tools."
~ Anne Schadde, Germany
I don't know where I would be without MacRepertory. My work is getting good,
really good and MacRepertory has helped a lot in getting me there."
~ Barbara Seideneck, USA
 Congratulations! Such a magnificent, gorgeous, fun, elegant program!!! And so
fast... I can’t imagine prescribing without them. David, you are a true artist!"
~ Bill Gray, MD, USA
I love the program, and keep finding things it does, by experimenting and
playing with it like a very fun toy. I am constantly doing it's woo woo in the
classes I teach, and the students are always in awe and they love it, it sells
itself, it can't help it. Thank you David for the incredible work you do, it
touches so many so deeply."
~ Bill Mann, USA
The program is brilliant. The searching is like lightning. The interface is
simple and clean. Well done!"
~ Charles Forsyth, MD, UK
I absolutely love to work with MacRepertory and Reference Work and use it 120%
of the time. Thank you for all the good work you're doing!"
~ Corrie Hiwat,
Netherlands
I just wanted to tell you how much a colleague of mine and myself enjoyed and
valued your DVDs on MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks. They are truly
inspirational and I realized how much more I could get from those two programs.
I really think that those creatures of yours are making and will make an
enormous difference for homeopathy. Your explanations are clear, may be there is
some more to tell on ReferenceWorks, I had the feeling that its possibilities
are more than one can guess, maybe even for you..."
~ Cristina Vittorini, MD,
Italy
Your wonderful programs MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks are both indispensable
to preparing seminars and the presenting of cases. They are "Wow" You have every
right to be proud of ReferenceWorks it is the richest mine of information."
~
David Lilley, MD, UK
Indispensable in our daily practice, MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks are also
helping to carry out Farrington's scheme to study remedies by family, and to
extend and strengthen Hahnemann's concept of the chronic diseases. For these
reasons and more, David Warkentin has earned a place of honor in the pantheon of
our history. By enriching and perfecting our oldest, most cherished teachings in
the light of the new information technology, he also exemplifies the true genius
of America and its people."
~ Dick Moskowitz, MD, USA
 In the never ending quest for the similimum I often wish I knew everything
there is to know. Sigh! But then as Samuel Johnson said "The next best thing to
knowing something, is knowing where to find it." That for me is undoubtedly
MacRepertory and Reference-Works. Whether the case needs an overview of broad
family groups, an exact sentence in the provers words or a peculiar rubric that
is the confluence of the case, it's all there in the programmes. As the world
evolves, David and his work keep pace with the constant growth
towards perfection."
~ Divya Chhabra, MD, India
As a homeopath who trips around the world, literally, my laptop has tramped the
Swiss Alps, the Andes of Peru, the humid jungle temple of Machu Picchu, into the
depths of the Amazon Basin of Brasil, and into the library of the sacred Royal
Botanical Kew Gardens library in London, England, 11,500 feet levels of the
Rocky Mountains, to Down Under in 130F Red Center of Uluru (Ayres Rock) to the
damp, windy coast of Dunedin, New Zealand--and my trusty MacRepertory went with
me. And never failed me. Hiking the Alps, tramping through jungles, and
everything in-between, I could count on MacRepertory to give me the feedback I
needed to utilize my homeopathic remedies that always
went in my backpack."
~ Eileen Nauman, DHM(UK), author Homeopathy 911
ReferenceWorks is wonderful and, as far as I am concerned, you should rename it
'ReallyWonderful'.
~ Frans Vermeulen, MD, Denmark
You have again made great improvements. The work you have done throughout the
years is such a great help to many!"
~ Harry van der Zee, MD, Netherlands
 I am sure I cannot practice a single day but for your programs. There cannot be
enough of gratitude for you and your team for this service you have provided to
the community of homoeopaths."
~ Jayesh Shah, MD, India
am not usually the gushing type but this definitely warrants a gush." Several
hours later ... I take my previous praise back; it was much too mild and
understated. ReferenceWorks is really fantastic. Just what a computer program
should be."
~ Jonathan Shore, MD, USA
MacRepertorty is a very smart program now. I can accurately compare remedies in
ways that were never possible before. This will be so fun to teach with! I can’t
wait for next term to start!!!"
~ Krista Heron, USA
 I am completely stunned by the possibilities of the new programs. I can
unequivocally state that the multiple clipboards, the ability to change from
materia medica books to remedies, and the Limit functions in ReferenceWorks are
real winners. This is the direction that top- flight homeopathic educators are
taking. The concept graph is so cool that a word has not been invented yet to
describe it."
~ Linda Johnston, MD, USA
The absolute beginner and the most skilled homeopath can use MacRepertory to
great advantage in prescribing, studying and teaching. I have used other
programs but my success was not nearly as impressive. I strongly encourage all
of my students to buy them."
~ Massimo Mangialavori, MD, Italy
When I graduated, I looked at every homeopathic world teacher and leader I
respected and they were all using MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks, so I decided
to purchase them myself. I have never, ever, regretted my decision. They have
proven invaluable in my teaching and my practice."
~ Mirsada Vins, Head of
Homeopathy, Ontario College of Homeopathic Medicine
As for ReferenceWorks - well it just is the king!"
~ Misha Norland, UK
I cannot imagine life without ReferenceWorks! It makes my very busy schedule
managing patients, teaching and writing so much easier. Thank you David and Kent
Associates for this wonderful contribution to the homeopath of the 21st
century."
~ Nancy Herrick, USA
I am so happy to have these programs they are so versatile and so easy to use
that it is a real joy to study and compare remedies. ReferenceWorks has been an
incredible help; there are some cases I could never have solved without it. They
are truly remarkable."
~ Nandita Shah, MD, India
Thank you for your excellent new work. It is again extending the boundaries of
our possibilities."
~ Peter Tumminello ND, DBM, Australia
Having used all three of the major materia medica search programs I can say
that ReferenceWorks is by far the best. Not only does it have the largest
library of information, but the search capabilities, analysis methods and family
or group analysis abilities are far superior. It is a real learning tool."
~
Phillip Robbins, Australia
I must say that these programs have been absolutely magnificent."
~ Rajan
Sankaran, MD, India
Thank you so much for the beautiful programs"
~ Raymond Sevar, MD, UK
ReferenceWorks and MacRepertory are simply brilliant! We cannot imagine
studying and analyzing our cases without them. If you are serious about
practicing homeopathy, buy these programs as early in your studies as possible.
It is no longer necessary to travel from seminar to seminar to learn the latest
and greatest in homeopathic thinking. David brings the homeopathic world to us."
~ Robert Ullman & Judith Reichenberg Ullman, ND, USA
ReferenceWorks is a truly incredible achievement. It is a mature program which
combines state-of-the-art computer programming with a deep understanding of the
needs and inner workings of homeopathy."
~ Roger Morrison, MD, USA
I highly recommended this tool in practice. A state of art computer software
which has so much diversity. A seed to harvest for beginners and experienced
practitioners too. Thanks David for your wonderful and generous contribution."
~ Sudhir Baldota, MD, India "I have been using the latest versions of MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks in
order to teach a 3 year course to homeopaths in Egypt. I have found the material
in both programs to be invaluable in applying the latest pedagogical methods to
homeopathy. It allows me to collate data from a vast number of sources and
illustrate it with graphs and extracts on my laptop and project them via a
datashow. The students are also enthused about the ability to see the
repertorization on the screen instantly when doing patient cases or paper cases.
Of course, I need not mention the usefulness of the programs for case work with
patients."
~ Abdul Hayy "Thanks for all the great work - I smile everyday when I open up the programs."
~ Adam Grove, ND "What you did is outstanding! The homeopathic community will be ever so grateful
in the future to have such an indigenous mind as yours in between its lines!
There is an ardent homoeopath who regularly attends the seminars of our
outstanding teachers and at the same time has the creativity to transform their
ideas into an ever so helpful computer program - so that all of us are bale to
use these ideas in the daily clinic and for research as well! For my taste, your
name should be heard more often when the great contemporary homeopaths are
mentioned! And it's ever so rewarding for me to be a whatever little help to
your work: it makes me feel proud!"
~ Andreas Quast
"Functional and beautiful, MacRepertory & ReferenceWorks continue to be the
state-of-the-art in homeopathic computer programs. They are my constant research
tools for my writings and seminars. I love the elegance and depth of these
programs. They are irreplaceable tools for accurate, informed prescriptions."
~ Asa Hershoff, USA "This is truly magnificent. I'm having a great time with it! It's interesting to
compare remedies both through MacRepertory and your own concept words vs
limiting the phrase window to a few remedies in ReferenceWorks and doing various
searches, which is what I had recently discovered, as I compared two remedies,
looking for the language expressed in a "vital sensation." And thanks for
sending off the "tutorials," it's a great way to learn. The program is so full,
I'm sure most of us use a very small part of what it has to offer."
~ Betsy
Levine - The School of Homeopathy, Devon "I have used the programs since 1989 and feel they have always been on the
cutting edge of Homeopathy and have helped me tremendously in my prescribing. As
the depth and breadth of Homeopathy expands, so do these programs. I am
delighted with the new developments and especially appreciate their versatility.
I often use the "Concepts Graph" to compare remedies I am considering in a case.
I love the theme palate and its graph and appreciate being able to "drag" a
ReferenceWorks' search into a MacRepertory graph. Even when I feel like I am
"sure" of a remedy after taking a case, after a little work with these programs
I often find a remedy that much more accurately fits the patient's picture.
Thank you David for your dedication in bringing to the world these remarkable
programs and in continuing to update them. I know this is a service of pure love
for Homeopathy and its community."
~ Betty Wood, USA "Finally we homeopaths have a 'reference' that truly 'works' for us and the
benefit of humanity. Thank you."
~ Blair Lewis, PA "The interface is beautiful, quick and responsive. It is amazingly intuitive,
clear and straightforward. It’s like sitting on a huge mountain of information,
and knowing many ways around and inside it, and still always finding new paths
and corners. The concept graph is truly visionary. ReferenceWorks is great fun
to play with, very transparent and elegant. It is great to see the work on
families you have done. My beloved fungi are a family all their own for the
first time in homeopathic literature (now I owe you a mushroom meal)! Anything I
can think of doing I can do!"
~ Cees Baas, Holland
"I enjoyed your article on eclectic prescribing philosophy. It encouraged me to
get on with prescribing, and not worry quite so much about exactly how I do it."
~ Chet Wood "Greetings! All I can say is that it is the most wonderful tool, hobby and toy
all in one."
~ Clare Sheehan, Ireland
"Easiest to use of all programs, with the most consistent user interface'
Seamlessly integrated remedy families' Most versatile and powerful search
feature' Powerful and extendable suite of case analysis strategies' Extensive
and customizable set of repertorization graphs' Good integration of patient data
and charts'"
~ Comparative Review of homeopathic software by Kris Kurz "It's been two years since using MacRepertory out in the bush. I've put it
through its paces in the rainforest. It has greatly increased both accuracy and
speed with which I can repertorize...and after two and a half years I am still
amazed at its power and flexibility. I am still discovering features that are
useful for my particular way of working."
~ Craig Spaulding, Papua New Guinea "I've been meaning to write to you and tell you how much I have enjoyed the
programme but I have this problem - I can't get away from the materia medica.
Than you so much for your contribution to classical homeopathy. I would
recommend it to anyone."
~ Desmond Payne, USA "I'm always trying to think of an analogy for me having such a wonderful program
and not knowing all that it is capable of and the closest I can come to is that
it is like having a luxury car and using it to listen to the radio only!"
~
Donna Powers
"This is such a fabulous tool.....not just for practicing homeopathy, but for
studying the world around me."
~ Ellen Coleman
"Studying Themes and Families, which has been my approach since the beginning,
has never been so easy and contemporarily profound. It has been a great leap
ahead for the Research and Clinical Sessions in our School."
~ Flavio Tonello
MD, Italy "ReferenceWorks arrived just in time, there are so many fascinating new books
and provings to study it will provide all my holiday reading! Rachel said the
only reason I did not take my laptop on our honeymoon is that they had not
invented laptops yet....."
~ Francis Treuherz, MA RShom FSHom, UK "The appearance of ReferenceWorks in the history of homeopathy will divide it
into two clearly differentiated parts. It is a brilliant product that
constitutes a revolutionary new method to reach an amazing amount of information
in just seconds. The possibility of being able to consult several authors
simultaneously by comparing the original texts will make it easier and much more
comprehensible to practice homeopathy. For those homeopaths who write papers and
books or teach and for all of those who mainly study and practice,
ReferenceWorks is an incredible tool able to help you in ways never imagined
before. It is a real pity that I could not have had it ten or fifteen years ago
- How much more complete and productive would have been my life as an author!"
~
Francisco Eizayaga, MD, Argentina
"Thanks to you and your team for all your hard work in improving the access to
homeopathic information - makes life easier and so exciting (homeopathic
life!)."
~ Gabriela Rieberer, MD "Thank you so much for the new programmes. They are great. I have already
managed to make a few interesting prescriptions. It is certainly making my
approach to evaluating and prescribing more versatile."
~ Graz Baran, UK
"If Kent had lived in this computer age I am quite sure that he would have been
first in line for ReferenceWorks. For as humongous as it is, it is incredibly
easy to work, and profoundly resourceful. I think that the program is to
homeopathy what J.S. Bach's 'Well Tempered Clavier' has been to western music: a
compilation of all previously existing knowledge in a way that profoundly and
forever affects the future of the art... and ReferenceWorks is a heck of a lot
easier to work than a piano..."
~ Greg Bedayn, RSHom (NA)
"These new programs are a homeopathic revolution."
~ Hansjoorg Hee,
Switzerland "It’s just WONDERFUL!!!"
~ Hiren Shah, MD, India
"It has become an indispensable tool for my work. I can not imagine doing
repertorization by hand again. The flexibility which the MacRepertory has given
me allows significantly greater freedom of thinking and case analysis. (But you
know all this!)"
~ Jared L. Zeff, ND, USA "It is really absolutely brilliant work that is far ahead of its time.
Homeopathy now has to catch up to what the software has already prepared for in
organization. Without even nearly utilizing the program in its fullest capacity
I have solved dozen's of difficult cases. The ability to interact between
MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks in a more sophisticated way has allowed me to
find remedies and analyze cases right when the patient is in the office.
The family theme search has been fabulous in opening up broader ways of thinking
as well as finding small remedies that fit the case. I am sold and hooked and
the new software."
~ Jeff Lester, DO
"This is the best designed and most useful medical software I have ever used."
~
John Dramond, MD, HMD, USA
"It seems I have not begun to scratch the surface in terms of the apparent power
of the new ReferenceWorks. At last we have a program that has the ability to
visually represent a variety of methods of analysis that I need to use to solve
my various cases. Brilliant!"
~ John Melnychuk "Any time that I needed help concerning MacRepertory, or now ReferenceWorks,
Kent Homeopathic Associates was always there. The programs are easy to use even
for a computer novice such as myself. MacRepertory assisted in solving difficult
sinus/allergy problems and the new ReferenceWorks displayed, as the first
remedy, the correct one that eliminated a resistant cough that always followed a
cold."
~ John Yonke, ND, USA
"I cannot suppress my enthusiasm. I have already found remedies I would never
have thought of without the programs!!"
~ Jorg Haberstock, Germany "I studied carefully the concept approach and I think it is a big development in
studying of comparative materia medica. Congratulations."
~ Jose Mirilli, MD "I want to thank you once again for the programs. They are WONDERFUL and I'm
given them great use."
~ Juan Eizayaga, MD, Argentina "I am definitely WOWED
by the programs - also humbled, slightly daunted and very, very excited. The
potential as an educational tool is enormous."
~ Judith Magee
"I LOVED the pdf file. I LOVE the idea of having them sent out like lesson plans
at regular intervals. The graphs are clear, well presented, and I know I'd seen
Miranda demo them months ago, but with so much other stuff, only 10% stuck,
y'know? SO this regular update, with pictures, is just my cuppa tea. Thanks also
for setting up the phone consult times. I'm sure that will help, too, but I love
the fact that I can spend 10 minutes, look at One Piece of the program,
ground it into my brain, and maybe see it stay there."
~ Judy Schriebman
"Just to let you know I received my programs the other day and yes I am very
much WOWED. Thank you sooo much, it will certainly be put to good use."
~ Judy
Smyth
"Never forget that every day around the world practitioners are being led by
your work to prescribe that little remedy, which they didn't really know and
wouldn't have found otherwise and yet it turns out to be the similimum. Every
time I turn on my computer I give the KHA mob thanks."
~ Julia Twohig, Australia "The ease and speed in which I am able to repertorize my cases is marvelous, but
I'm even more impressed with the depth of repertorial analysis possible. I know
that MacRepertory will go down in homeopathic history as a tremendous
achievement and invaluable gift to the homeopathic community and world. I'm
thrilled to have access to this incredible program. You've dome an amazing job!"
~ Julie Quinn, USA "We are all so fortunate that your vision, both in your work on homeopathic
software and your educational efforts, has gone so far to make this fledgling
healing art and its practitioners look a lot more together than we really are.
Thanks again for all of your great work."
~ Kathi Unger "I could not imagine life without my program. I guard it jealously, carry it
with me to and from work each day in my laptop ready to use it wherever I am,
for acutes, constitutionals or just reference. It's a great product."
~ Kerry Clancey, New Zealand
"This program has saved my life. I don't have to spend 10-15 hrs of case work at
home after 40-50 hrs at the office. It has made my life more available to my
family."
~ Larry Marrich, USA
"What a wonderful job, the new version! My wife and I are enjoying every minute
working with the software! Apart from the content itself I must express my
admiration of the programmers of the kernel or the engine. Have you re-written
it completely? The speed and performance are now just beyond all compliments."
~
Leonid Anikeev, Russia "The new ReferenceWorks and MacRepertory programs are by far the most
functional, versatile, and easy to use programs out there for homeopaths.
MacRepertory's newest theme search allows for remedy comparisons at a glimpse
with a flexible graphical analysis that gives new life to the repertory. On the
other hand, in its newest form ReferenceWorks has freed us all from the
constraints of a repertory while allowing us to take advantage of many newer
analytical approaches of experienced and insightful contemporary homeopaths. I
find the programs invaluable in practice, study, and teaching and frankly could
not imagine homeopathy without them."
~ Liam McClintock, USA
"I suggest that for those who have recently started studying homeopathy, and
even teachers, rather than buying book after book or constantly feeling that you
don't have the right book - get the library in one package: ReferenceWorks."
~
Louis Klein, Canada
"We have used MacRepertory and Referenceworks at our college since the late
1980's. It has been an absolute must for us in both the classroom and clinic,
using it to teach students how to repertorise properly and for case analysis
purposes in our student clinic. Even more importantly the software allowed us to
develop Homoeopathic Facial Analysis using MacRepertory in particular, to
compare rubrics across remedies to allow for their correct miasmatic
classification. These modules are user friendly and a must in the clinic for
every Homoeopath who practices classical Homoeopathy."
~ Louise Barton,
Victorian College of Classical Homoeopathy, Australia
"Thank you for your excellent program MacRepertory, for the technical support
and for all of the wonderful people who work at Kent. It is always a pleasure to
deal with your company."
~ Louise Schaefer, USA
"I've only just started using it - but WOW. I am amazed at what it can do - it
would take me hours and hours to do this longhand. I know I'll really know more
in 6 months, but it has already helped me by changing my attitude toward doing
cases - I feel like it helps me learn so much. Anyway, hope you're not tired of
hearing MacRepertory praises - I already ordered an upgrade to the complete
package, but the basic package is amazing."
~ Lucinda Dykes, USA "The many analysis strategies are nothing short of brilliant and open up
completely new territory in the examination of small remedies. Both my patients
and I thank you for making difficult cases easy, phone consultations a pleasure,
and allowing a very busy doctor to prescribe on the totality of symptoms rather
than just a few keynotes."
~ M.M. Van Benschoten, OMD, CA
"An e-mail about ReferenceWorks - well done. A powerful tool for the world of
homeopathy. Recently I have really grown to love ReferenceWorks and I have been
finding it better and better."
~ Mani Norland "Having such a large portable library on our expedition was a lifesaver!" (1998
Mt. Everest Expedition)
~ Mary Shackleton, USA
"As homeopaths we've had to spend so much time studying the repertory and
materia medica that it has been too easy for the compassion to get lost in the
jungle of knowledge. David has guaranteed that homeopathy will be able to
flourish with a rich combination of soul and intellect. And, further, now we do
not need to be intellectual geniuses to be homeopaths - we can be people who
care deeply that people heal."
~ Maud Nerman, DO, USA "At every issue of these programs I feel like using wonderful tools disclosing
more and more the Treasure of Homeopathy. Anyone can access it. How deep the
knowledge and how easy we can get it. Homeopathic vision has never been so
grounded to be a real help in our practice."
~ Maurizio Italiano MD, Italy "The new Mac Rep and Rfwks are amazing. They are elegant, easy to use and
effective in solving cases, of all things. Refwrks is amazing and I am
prescribing either Vanadium or Falco p. based on its recommendations today,
remedies I never would have found without it."
~ Melanie Grimes, USA "The incredible new search capabilities, the seamless ability of the two
programs to ‘talk’ together, the amazing visual graphics, the multiple,
immediate and intuitive ability to compare families, remedies, themes are
absolutely phenomenal!"
~ Melissa Fairbanks, USA
"It's a great teaching tool - and of course studying tool. Makes learning small
remedies a piece of cake."
~ Miranda Castro, RSHom, USA "You can be sure that I will recommend this program to my colleagues."
~ Miri
Tachan, USA "Teaching is easier and fun using the beautiful graphics and functionality in
the new, updated MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks."
~ Mitchell Fleisher, M.D., D.Ht.
"Thank you David for providing us with an indispensable tool for studying and
practicing homeopathy. Your creativity, enthusiasm and hard work are greatly
appreciated."
~ Nadia Bakir B.SC., N.D., F.C.A.H., D.H.A.N.P., C.C.H., Associate
Professor The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine "You had the vision to create a program for homeopathy. You did more! You
created an expanding universe. And the best of it, better than in real life,
Congratulations and thanks."
~ Nanette Fritsche Jarjour, USA
"THE PROGRAM IS HARDLY LESS THAN A REVELATION... it is like having a
homeopath in the room for a second opinion."
~ Neil Tesseler, ND, USA "These are two great programs and I hope they get the sales they
deserve."
~ Nick Churchill
"Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou.
ReferenceWorks is fantastic. I wanted some information on Autism and used the
words Autism and Autistic. 44 remedies and 43 references came up. Looking up
each reference was so easy. The programme is awesome and intuitive. I'm just
like a pig in.... PS Anyone want a couple of hundred redundant text books?"
~ Olly Box, UK "I just spent the past week in Massimo's class and we got to practice and learn
some of the FABULOUS features of the upgrades on the programs. OH MY, they are
incredible! What is especially helpful is that we are working in groups during
the class and in between sessions (on homework) and we are sharing our
experience with the 4 programs (yours and Massimo's Tesi and Consulta). So I
expect at the end of the 4 years to be much more proficient in using the
features of MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks, etc. Thanks ever so much. They do
boggle the mind and I am enjoying all the discoveries. I think the
manual is quite good."
~ Pamela Herring, USA
"I have to say that you have created one of the most powerful tools I can
imagine. I will be eternally grateful for ReferenceWorks. I love being able to
search so many repertories and materia medicas so quickly. I love the feature of
being able to copy and paste quotes (previously a laborious task) from these
references for my case analyses and for teaching. It will certainly advance the
practice of homeopathy."
~ Peggy Chipkin, FNP, USA "I find it VERY useful. Perhaps at the moment I am overusing it while the first
flush of love is around! It is so easy to use; I just switched it on, never
having used a Macintosh before and was successfully using it next day. GREAT JOB
DAVID"
~ Peter Chappell, FSHom, UK
"Thank you so very much for your work. I appreciate the diligence, foresight and
strength of your endeavors since this has made so great a difference in the
Homeopathic community and, in my learning, understanding and performing
Homeopathy."
~ Rebecca McCaslin
"I had always heard that ReferenceWorks and MacRepertory were the Rolls Royce of
Homoeopathic software. Now I realize that was not the true comparison - it is
the Starship Enterprise ! From our hilltop home here in Ireland we can now find
a path to so many strange new worlds . Whilst all the Homoeopath's writings
provide the maps, we have you to thank sincerely for the amazing and versatile
vehicle."
~ Rene Hultier, Ireland "For those of you who don't know about MacRepertory, it is the cream of the
repertorization programs. It helps to repertorize and analyze your patient's
cases using virtually all of the repertories and materia medica's. It shows you
the best choices of remedies for your case analysis to fit the individuality of
the case. It also allows you to quickly compare materia medica, to find
confirmatory symptoms, and to save your patients' charts, electronically, for
ongoing follow- ups. MacRepertory has long had the reputation for being the
richest and easiest of homeopathic tools." "In terms of comparing different
analysis strategies and finding the best approach to interpreting the
repertorization, MacRepertory's full suite of graph styles is hard to beat. Much
more important than that, however, is the ability to play with the case and see
how that affects the repertorization. MacRepertory's graphs are linked 'live' to the rubric clipboards. Any change you
make there (e.g. underlining, or selecting certain rubrics, etc.) will be
reflected immediately in the graph. To me, this immediacy promotes an intimate
interaction with the case, which more than once showed me the right way to the
simillimum. One area where MacRepertory really shines is the analysis of a case
based on natural families. With only two mouse clicks you see your case
projected onto the periodical table of elements and can easily locate the center
of gravity and likely remedy relationships there. Or, maybe, you suspect a plant
remedy and want to see which botanical families the repertorization favors.
Nothing easier than that. You can view the botanical families in hierarchical
order, while the darker shades of green show you where the repertorization
falls. I really enjoyed playing with this part of the program, not the least
because the pictures are well done and fun to look at. Besides
chemical and botanical relationships, there are several others you can explore
in a similar fashion (e.g., zoological or miasmatic)."
~ Greg Bedayn, RSHom,
Review in the American Homeopath "The programs are beyond every imagination! They are the best of homeopathy in
the world."
~ Riccardo Tomassini, Italy "Thanks so much for the wonderful programs. I'm wowed. Congratulations on
creating such wonderful homeopathic tools."
~ Richard Bocock "I like ReferenceWorks very much. It is very easy to use and surprisingly fast
considering the quantity of material that is in the database . ReferenceWorks
lets me create my own rubrics by searching for symptoms not found in the
repertory. Also, small rubrics can be enhanced and completed by using
ReferenceWorks to do a complete search of the materia medica. It is invaluable
for my work with animals that have symptoms not found as often in people. I am
able to work more creatively with ReferenceWorks because I am able to put in
specific words or phrases ‹ and the form I use is completely in my control. It
is a well thought out program. The very nice features make it extremely flexible
and useful to the practitioner."
~ Richard Pitcairn, DVM, USA "I am really blown away by the new programs. It strikes me that your work has
always been on the frontier and that other programs are only trying to play
catch up with you. I'm going to learn the programs thoroughly and do all I can
to promote them. They are simply the best!"
~ Rob Bannan
"MacRepertory is fabulous. Practicing without it would be like giving up the
high speed drill in dentistry."
~ Robert Canida, DDS, USA "I'm absolutely thrilled by ReferenceWorks."
~ Ronald Boyer, MD
"Before MacRepertory, I was often lost in the paper work of analyzing cases, and
I was sure I would not be able to use a computer without going back to school.
To my surprise I've found that it is easy to get a detailed and accurate
analysis of my cases and that using a computer is simply fun: thanks to
MacRepertory."
~ Sally Goodwin, MD, USA "Not a day goes by that I don't thank God you had the know how and the desire to
develop MacRepertory. I know it has and will do much for the advancement of
Homeopathy. Perhaps like a pebble thrown into a pool of water, you will never
know how far your ripple has reached."
~ Sandy Kierzkowski, USA "Please pass my appreciation on to DW and the KHA team for the outstanding OSX
upgrade to MacRepertory - it has far surpassed my expectations: WOW!!!"
~ Sean Rayner "MacRepertory is a wonderful service to homeopaths around the world. The old
masters would have been quick to remind us that such a program cannot do our
thinking for us. They would also, I think, have been among the first to purchase
and use MacRepertory as the profoundly useful tool that it is. My
congratulations and grateful thanks to Kent Associates!"
~ Stephen King, ND, USA "David and his crew have done it again. Now ReferenceWorks and MacRepertory work
fluidly in OSX, a wonderful addition to everyday practice."
~ Ted Chapman, MD, USA "I just wanted to
thank you for the new programs. They are really quite wonderful. I really love
all the great limiting features in particular. I have become so wired into the
programs it is difficult to explain to students what I'm doing."
~ Tim Shannon, ND The other night I was working on a case that I
had been working on for several days, and not finding the right remedy ... so I
began looking in Reference Works. I put in one symptom and -- BOOM! I found the
remedy that fit the entire case perfectly! I consider Reference Works to be an
invaluable source of case analysis information and I wouldn't want to have to
live without it ever again. I love it!"
~ Virginia Downey CCH, USA Regarding KHA's training materials....
"The value of David's sessions is that he illuminates to me that I still use
only about 10% of the program's real capacity and that it has such possibilities
in the analysis of every case. He demonstrates it with obvious passion like he's
showing off a newborn child; and he demonstrates how creative one can be in the
analysis of any patient data. It's valuable stuff."
~ Alastair Gray, Australia "It is great to hear the creator of this software speak about the hows and whys
and to hear him explain the reasons for the workings of this software. I am very
excited about really understanding the 'Concept Graph' and have started using it
for remedy differential purposes. I also continue to really appreciate this
program as a fabulous teaching tool. I recommend this training day to anyone
using homeopathic software. There are so many features within these
programs that are never used; I find that after some guidance I become
comfortable with poking around and discovering for myself. Highly recommended!"
~ Anneke Hogeland, USA "It was a very useful day. I liked the way David did the whole training, using
an example, showing the bits and pieces in the process, rather than the usual
"here's how you open the program" and "here's how you do this". It was a more
storytelling type of approach, which I liked. I am now using the theme palette
extensively to work on my difficult, challenging (and even my easy) cases and
I'm very much liking the results. Great idea; great programming and an excellent
tool."
~ Judy Schriebman, USA "The seminar was definitely very useful. David is so knowledgeable; and he has
such a nice style of teaching. I have been to a couple of these trainings and
every time I (re)learn features (there are so many wonderful things!) and then
incorporate them in my practice. I recommend these seminars to anyone who wants
to become more effective in their prescribing."
~ Peggy Chipkin, FNP, USA "I highly recommend doing David's workshop on MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks.
Even though I have used the programs for a long time, there is always a need to
be refreshed in their capabilities and also to become more familiar with the new
features that David is exploring with the programs. To gain the most from these
programs, it is really worth hearing and seeing what David has to say and
demonstrate."
~ Richard Pitt, USA "I just wanted
to tell you how much a colleague of mine and myself enjoyed and valued your DVDs
on MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks. They are truly inspirational and I realized
how much more I could get from those two programs. I really think that those
creatures of yours are making and will make an enormous difference for
homeopathy. Your explanations are very clear. There may be even more to say
about ReferenceWorks; I had the feeling that its possibilities are more than one
can guess, maybe even for you..."
~ Cristina Vittorini, MD, Italy
