Hippozänium Index of remedies Preface

Frans Vermeulen writes: "This book contains the maximum number of reliable Materia Medica facts in the minimum space," Boericke writes in the foreword of his celebrated Materia Medica.

Given the number of good Materia Medicas available, I feel it is time that the maximum number of reliable symptoms was extended, without resulting in an extra metre of book space on every homeopath's bookshelf.

With this aim - the completion of a complete but portable Materia Medica - I began by asking myself which authors I should include. The information and the sources they used would have to be reliable and should not be just a duplicate of the work of others.

This is how I arrived at my plan to compare the writings of a large number of authors in order to gain a more complete symptom picture. Completeness is not a question of quantity, of more symptoms per remedy, but of quality, of a detailed examination of each symptom. Preferably, therefore, with a clear description of localization, sensation, modalities, pains extending and concomitant phenomena.

After painstakingly comparing numerous Materia Medicas to discover which ones complement each other, Iarrived at ten which met this requirement. By omitting repetitions, I was able, as it were, to paste the various descriptions together. Having gone through 10,775 pages of text written by ten authors, I was finally left with the repetition-free symptoms that are contained in the pages of this Concordant Materia Medica.
