Vithoulkas Expert System (VES)
What Is an Expert System?
An Expert System is a set of rules that reproduces the thinking of an expert in a given field. It not only recalls data with 100% accuracy, it also processes and evaluates the data according to the methods of the expert. The Vithoulkas Expert System (VES) was created in collaboration with world-renowned master homeopath, George Vithoulkas. VES duplicates his unique thought process in symptom analysis and remedy selection, working with the Synthesis Repertory in RADAR.
VES uses all the principles and understanding that George uses himself and it does so every second the System is computing.
How does VES work?
The Vithoulkas Expert System interprets a homeopath’s input to suggest which remedy questions should be asked and it further orients their study of materia medica. VES then arrives at just one, possibly surprising, result. That result takes into account all the patient’s symptoms and is based on a consideration of all the remedies - whether they are the better known polychrests or a rare remedy which figures only once in a rubric.
Even Better Than Human Experts
George Vithoulkas’ brilliance can help every homeopath to checkmate illness with the precision of a Grand Master.
Going Beyond Human Reasoning
Since the day of its release, hundreds of homeopaths use VES in their day-to-day practice and from the beginning it has received highly enthusiastic, and even astonished reactions. VES regularly finds real and unexpected cures, even in the most desperate cases.
Profound Flexibility
As a general rule, VES considers mind symptoms to be more important than local ones. You don’t have to pre-select particular symptoms before using the Expert System. The VES takes care of this itself by using all the symptoms and selecting the most appropriate rubrics. Every time you add a new symptom, VES re-evaluates the whole case and gives you a full, completely new analysis.

Vakil Module
Prof. Dr. Prakash D. Vakil’s Aid to Confirm the Simillimum - (VACS)
VACS helps the homeopath:
1. Find the right remedy
2. Confirm a given remedy
3. Differentiate between two closely related remedies
Based on 30 years of clinical experience in homeopathy, the Vakil Module is a system developed to simplify your homeopathic prescription and/or confirm a certain remedy by the application of tongue, color and moon phase symptoms. The live sound samples of coughs and pictures of tongues integrated into VACS help the homeopath in comparing and confirming a remedy. These media descriptions go far beyond any written description in helping to learn the difference between various tongues and coughs.

Sankaran Miasmatic Analysis
Dr. Rajan Sankaran has worked throughout the years of his practice to generate a system of homeopathy that gives consistent results. He has developed a powerful classification of remedy states into kingdoms and arrived at a unique understanding of the miasms – and in the process he has added new miasms to those already known. Dr. Sankaran has assigned many remedy states to each Miasm, and developed a host of clinically useful in sights with his approach to classification.
 
Integrate with RADAR
Archibel and WholeHealthNow, in conjunction with Dr. Sankaran, have prepared a special download for RADAR and Encyclopedia Homeopathica. This addition will integrate new analysis capabilities into your software, according to the Sankaran classification system. Dr. Sankaran continues to develop his work, and your one time fee of $30 US entitles you to receive all future updates for free.
Free Additional Materials
Dr. Sankaran has also prepared some additional material for your use in conjunction with this analysis software. This MS Word document includes:
1. A short summary of each miasm
2. A chart explaining various aspects of each miasm
3. Key words of each miasm

Ewald Stöteler module
Ewald Stöteler (Netherlands) has developed a module describing a way to divide symptoms in 8 different classes:
1. Constitutional (psora)
2. Incidents and biography
3. Inherited tendencies
4. Sycosis
5. Acute miasmatic
6. Epidemic
7. Iatrogenic intoxication
8. Syphilis
This module tries to estimate what class is the most important to cure first in the current situation and guides you accordingly e.g. when a patient has influenza caused by an epidemic flue, it may be better to try and handle the symptoms for this epidemic situation before handling the constitutional symptoms.
Using this methodology, the homeopath can do “first things first” instead of having to find the “silver bullet” to cure a patient.

Scholten Module
The Scholten Module was developed by Archibel, the creators of RADAR and Encyclopaedia Homeopathica in close cooperation with Jan Scholten. It was designed to enable homeopaths to use the computer to work with Jan’s systematic concepts presented in his book Homeopathy and the Elements. (His other book Homeopathy and Minerals has not been incorporated into this module yet.) Jan Scholten’s system is designed according to his understanding of the relationship between the structure of Mendelejev’s Periodic Table of Elements and the Homeopathic remedies that are prepared from those elements.
Like RADAR, the repertory program, it is not designed to choose a remedy for the patient. Rather it helps narrow down the remedy choices so you can do further research into the suggested remedy or remedies. Fortunately the research is easy to do with the Scholten module, as the text of Homeopathy and the Elements is embedded into the program.

Luc De Schepper Module
Dr. Luc De Schepper (USA) has created a module that will assist you in retrieving and hierarchising the symptoms following his model. A wizard will lead you through finding these symptoms:
  • The local, chief complaint
  • The never well since symptoms
  • The mental, emotional symptoms
  • The general, physical symptoms
  • The sleep and sexual symptoms
  • Food and drinks symptoms
At each step, you will be led to those sections in the repertory where these symptoms are present. You can search for the relevant symptom by concept by words or by finding the rubric in a step-wise way from the chapter downwards.

Dr. Giampietro’s Miasmatic Analysis
Dr. Giampietro (Argentina) has labelled all symptoms with miasmatic flags. As a result, once you make the analysis, you will see a pie chart showing you the miasmatic preponderance of the symptoms you took (e.g. red for psora). You select the miasm, you desire and only the symptoms pertaining to that miasm will be repertorized.

The Boenninghausen’s method in RADAR
The Böenninghausen Analysis Module is a momentous development, eagerly awaited by homeopaths around the globe. Master practitioners like Close, Boger and Roberts used Böenninghausen’s method - and now anyone can apply the same method to any repertory data they have in their RADAR package. Böenninghausen’s approach offers an expanded analysis and can be a valuable alternative to a Kentian approach - especially in cases with limited mental symptoms. With this module, easy-to-use wizards will step you through a Böenninghausen case analysis, using repertories preferred. Use FIVE Böenninghausen repertories at the same time.
With the Böenninghausen Analysis Module you now have an analysis application that takes maximum advantage of :
1. Böenninghausen’s Therapeutic Pocket Book
2. Boger-Böenninghausen Repertory
3. Boger’s Synoptic Key
4. Boger’s General Analysis
5. Böenninghausen’s Systematisch-Alphabetisches Repertorium
With the Böenninghausen analysis module one can
  • Search rubrics by text or number
  • Search and analyze rubrics/ symptoms in one or all repertories
  • List symptoms per remedy
  • Use automatic calculation of the leading remedy
  • Restrict degrees
  • Identify frequency of remedies
  • Compare remedies
  • Indicate the intensity of interrogation
Contemporary authorities
In developing this module, Archibel consulted with leading contemporary authorities on the Böenninghausen method, and they have each given their stamp of approval to the finished product: Bernhard Bloesy (Germany), Guy Coquillart (Belgium), Ulrich Fischer (Germany), Isidre Lara (Spain), José Matuk (Mexico), D.P. Rastogi (India), Will Taylor (US).

RADAR Concepts
The Concepts Finder is an aid to find and use less known repertory symptoms related to well known concepts. The available concepts are: women, children, old people, mental health, first aid, acute diseases, mind symptoms (Dragos), veterinary health, etc. It is great new tool to translate your patient’s language into repertory rubrics. There are now 17 concept chapters in Synthesis 9.2 Treasure Edition (including 5 new chapters). They include 10.268 concepts (among others 6.146 new concepts). A patient may not provide the most accurate words to describe how he or she is feeling. This can sometimes make diagnosis very difficult for a homeopath. Now you can find the rubric that truly matches your patient’s condition or be directed toward rubrics you never knew existed. Concepts sets RADAR apart from any other homeopathic software program that is currently available. With Concepts, finding any symptom in the repertory is as easy as a few simple mouse clicks. The Concepts Module for RADAR stretches through the entire Synthesis Repertory, considerably simplifying the search for symptoms by using the words and expressions of the patient as a point of departure. In addition, you can build up your own Concepts, or add to already existing ones.
User friendly
The use of the Concepts Finder starts from a central screen which gives easy access to a series of concepts. You can open that screen through the menu (“View - Concepts finder”). Each image on this screen stands for a different concept, a collection of related symptoms. When you move your mouse over such an image, an explanation is given. If then you click on an image, a wizard opens to help you select the symptoms of this concept.
Three Ways of using Concepts and Themes
  • Finding a concept from a rubric
  • From the book having Concepts and find the clinical picture you are looking for and find the rubrics for same
  • Concepts may also be attached to remedies

Remedy ‘family’
Here the family does not have the literal meaning of word ‘family’. All remedies of materia medica has been divided into 5 sections and further into many subsections (families).
RADAR offers you different possibilities for approaching possible remedy :
  • As a default, RADAR uses the 5 sections (plants, minerals, animals, related remedies and Böenninghausen concordances) for this display. There are over 3000 families to choose from these basic five sections. You can ask for repertorization to be limited to any of these sections
  • You can perform an analysis with a specific family (or group of families)
  • Also, you can give a family (or group of families) more importance in an analysis
