From the promotional material:
Back... not to basics, but to the essentials! Have you ever wished for a printed repertory that is:
- easy to use
- comfortably portable
- focused only on clinically proven information
- complete in all the essentials, but with nothing 'extra'
- grounded in classical homeopathy
We have too, so we created it!
Introducing... The Essential Synthesis
Concise - Reliable - Accessible
Users of the Synthesis Repertory in software form value its different 'views' of the repertory. This especially includes the Quantum View - a precisely focused selection from the full repertory that includes only the proven essentials. To achieve this highly functional economy, the Quantum View is built with strict criteria:
- no theoretical approaches
- no dream or meditation provings
- no recent provings
- no information that is not yet confirmed in the clinic
Up until now, you needed a computer nearby to access this essential core of the repertory. But now you can use the Quantum View in book form. We've named it - The Essential Synthesis.
The Essential Synthesis offers you a robust amount of information - the very information you can count on for clinical success.
New and Essential
Even if there is less total information here, there are also important new additions, too. The Essential Synthesis contains Kent's Treasure: Kent's personal annotations, written into his personal copy of his own repertory. There are a total of 11,368 additions and corrections here - certainly essential! Plus, the Treasure also includes 333 hand-written additions that Kent made in his personal copy of Hering's Guiding Symptoms.
Also available for the first time in print form is a chapter of veterinary information - all the interesting veterinary symptoms, all the remedies of veterinary origin, and a list of veterinary concepts leading to related symptoms.
Easy to Read, Easy to Use
Much thought and care has gone into creating the physical book itself. For easy reading, the font sizes are one size larger than in the full Synthesis book. The page layouts were worked and reworked to achieve a maximum economy of space. And B. Jain Publishers worked very closely with us to give the book a practical thumb index at an affordable price.
We hope you enjoy using this new print repertory.Soon you may be saying, along with us: Less is More!

Within 14 days: full refund (all items except digital services)
We can accept return of unwanted items above the value of £42 and cancellation of home study courses, in line with our refund policy, provided you have not accessed or downloaded any content from the Online Learning System and the goods are completely unused. Please contact us in the first instance, in writing, within 14 days after receiving the goods. You then have 14 days to return the goods, following these steps:
Digital goods and services
Please be aware that, as soon as you download, access or stream content from the Online Learning System, you will lose your right to the 14-day right to cancel the course. Due to the nature of digital goods, and in line with UK & EU legislation, we do not accept returns for: CDs, DVDs and Data discs. In the case of distance learning courses supplied electronically, you must not download or stream any course material during the 14-day cancellation period, as you will not have the right to change your mind and cancel your enrolment after you have downloaded or streamed the course.
What to do:
STEP 1: Start off by sending us an email or letter within 14 days of receiving the items stating your wish to cancel your order and we will send you a Cancellation Form. Please do not send anything back without first hearing from us and receiving our Returns Cancellation Form.
STEP 2: Materials need to be returned within 14 days from receiving the Returns Cancellation Form. All returned items must be received by us in perfect condition with the packaging un-opened and the goods unused. This will probably require you to add new/extra packaging and you will need to cover the costs of returning the goods. Please use a recorded delivery service, as we cannot be held responsible for non-delivery of returned items. We will refund the price of the goods once they have been received and checked and the amount relates to the fees applied at the time of purchase.

Within 3 months: partial refund (for home study courses only)
Beyond the 14-day period, if you wish to withdraw from your course for good reason, a partial refund may be granted if you purchased the course with tutor marking, are still inside the three-month period and have not submitted work to your tutor for marking. Please bear in mind that this is not a given statutory right and we offer this possibility in the spirit of good will. In the first instance, we will do all we can to understand your problem and offer help to see if there is a good way forward - we find a lot can be gained through having this conversation. If all the above criteria have been met and we agree that you have good reason to withdraw, then a partial refund for the tutor marking element of the course may be granted. The tutor marking amount equates to 40% of the course fee excluding registration and any digital goods that have been accessed.
What to do:
STEP 1: Start off by sending us an email or letter within 3 months of receiving the course, stating your wish to withdraw from the course and giving your reasons. Please do not send anything back to us, as we cannot accept returned materials after the 14 day cooling-off period.
STEP 2: The Course Manager will then contact you to discuss the issues you have raised and together you will see if you can find a good way forwards. Quite often, a new student will have worries or problems that can be helped with some care and attention and our team are here to do all they can to support and assist in helping you to get settled in and off to a good start.
STEP 3: If both parties agree that there is no resolution to the issues raised, then a partial refund may be granted. The maximum amount that can be refunded is 40% of the course fee excluding registration and any digital goods that have been used and the Course Manager will advise about this.
Attendance course
Places are limited on the Attendance Course and, when you enrol, you are making a commitment to pay the annual fees in full. This commitment applies whether you are paying in full beforehand or by monthly instalments. Fees must be paid up in full before the end of the academic year in order to move into the next year of study. A refund will only be considered in the case of certain unforeseeable circumstances, such as bereavement, pregnancy and moving overseas, and at the discretion of the directors. Anyone who chooses to leave midway through the year will be required to pay the outstanding balance of the annual fee when they leave, and will be required to re-join that year group upon return to the School.

- 2-4 weeks notice – We can give a 25% refund and maybe reschedule.
