It must bring the soul of James Tyler Kent great joy to see his repertory finally complete as the additions, corrections and changes in his own copy of the 2nd edition are finally incorporated by Frederik Schroyens in this Synthesis Treasure Edition making it more accurate and more in line with Kent’s thinking. Kent’s major repertory allows us to treat miasmatic problems, inherited chronic miasmatic tendencies and taints which are constantly progressing and which today are threatening the degeneration of mankind. The treatment of chronic miasmatic taints is the field of greatest importance of the Law of similars as well as the use of this valuable repertory.

Having this version of Kent’s corrections allows us to more accurately expand the repertory according to the construction of Kent, allowing his life work to be put in place and opening up the future for further expansions and future additions. Kent had written in his personal copy of the 2nd edition, a preface for his 3rd edition of the repertory: “This third edition completes my life’s work. I have brought it up to date. I have re-arranged and made numerous corrections in addition to adding many new remedies. I have verified every symptom in the book. You will find all remedies of any value contained herein. The book is complete.”

It is one of the greatest treasures in the Homeopathic profession left by one of our greatest teachers – Dr. James Tyler Kent.
