Our repertories are full of what you could call 'old fashioned' medical terms. It has to be this way because it pays tribute to our homeopathic forebears and also they are still important as medical terms for us to know about and understand their meaning because we have to translate symptoms into rubrics. All I am doing here is writing a list that pertains to some skin conditions - a list that all practitioners (whether they are students or experienced) should be able to look at and say "yes I understand what that term means" or "I have no idea what that means" and then go and check it out. The repertories can be amazing research tools as well as enabling us to analyse our cases. Just reading through them for the sake of it is fine schooling in my opinion. A short list of skin symptomsFormication Reticulated Onychia Cicatrices Anhydrosis Atheroma Wens Bazins disease Chloasma Granulation Pemphigus Keloid Miliary Lupus Pityriasis Comedomes Crepitation Decubitus Lichen Ecchymosis Furuncles Mealy Phagedenic Serpiginous Desquamating Vesicles Erysipelous Granular Ichthyosis Trichophytosis Maculae Papular Have fun

That is one of the reasons why I started translating homeopathic literature 10 years ago. In translating you are mostly engaged in research. One of my first projects was David Little's 'Hahnemann's Advanced Methods', eight lectures. In his works you especially see a mixture of terminology and that is why it is pretty difficult to read, like the old homeopaths. Every few paragraphs you have to pause and make additionally exploration to understand the sense. Especially for us whose native language is not English. Because, it was Hahnemann's neither. Often it requires cross-exploration: German, English, Old English, Old German, not to mention Latin. Languages today are literally desecrated. Dictionary of medicine, I don't know, I'm not quite sure, but reading the medical documentation of clients, I compare it with the reports of homeopathic doctors from the 18th and 19th centuries – they were much clearer. One should read the lectures of William Osler as well, the father of modern medicine, for whom unfortunately today's doctors (for generations back) have not even heard of. Delicate and tiring work. But how else?

This will be fun. I find Yasgur's Homeopathic Dictionary to be a gold mine.

Should I just copy/paste or upload a Word doc? Thanks
