RADAR TUTORIALS PART-13

The RADAR Analysis by Families Module

RADAR 10 includes an Analysis Families feature with is nearly identical to that which is found in earlier versions of Encyclopaedia Homeopathica. The Analysis by Families feature is the most useful in miasmatic prescribing or finding a remedy that follows well after another remedy.

The Analysis by Families feature allows you to limit your analysis to the particular family grouping you want. It is important to note that the Families feature is actually an additional repertory. It works by creating an elimination rubric in the analysis so that only the remedies in that family are included in the analysis. The elimination rubrics will actually show up in the Clipboard when using Analysis by Families.

When you use the Investigation Window, by default, it analyzes the data by Remedy. The Analysis by Families feature allows you to analyze data by Family. This could include a breakdown of Plants, Minerals, Animals, Imponderables, etc.

General Information about the Analysis by Family Feature

The following is general information about the Analysis by FamilyFeature. It is based on information learned in previous sections of the manual. You may refer to those sections for specific directions.

 NOTES

By default, Analysis by Family is limited to Kingdoms and the Periodic Table. However, there are ways to temporarily and permanently change this, as outlined below. You may, for example, feel that this is picture presents a plant remedy and can restrict the view to only plant remedies.

If you have decided that a case presents a picture of a particular Kingdom, such as Plants and you have added that restriction, you can also then display all the remedies in a particular plant family. This also works with Animals, Minerals, etc.

The Restrict To options can be used from either the Investigation Window for Remedies or the Investigation Window for Families. When you use it from the Investigation Window for Remedies, it limits the remedies to that large grouping. When you use it with the Investigation Window for Families, it presents more specific information, such as plant families, animal families, mineral salts, etc.
