I have known of Frederik Schroyens for 40+ years and have known him personally for some 30 years. We both started in homeopathy in the late 1970s. Frederik has involved himself since 1985 with the development and perfection of the Synthesis homeopathic repertory.
A homeopathic repertory is an index of symptoms found in the homeopathic materia medica, systematically organized to help practitioners find the most appropriate remedy for a patient.
As an author & researcher of homeopathic materia medica myself, I know what it takes in terms of expertise and extensive experience to make a repertory. It can only be done by someone who has for a long time been familiar with the specifics, details and nuances of the homeopathic materia medica and its centuries-old background and history.
Frederik possesses both qualities of expertise and experience in abundance. In addition, he is meticulously and rigorously precise.
He has corrected untold amounts of wrongful information from the original resources dating back to the mid 1800s; these involved mistakes in nomenclature or source material and required updating to current scientific standards.
Frederik has optimized the systematic organization involved in his creation of Synthesis. He has chosen quality over quantity; he has given priority to grouping of similarities over splitting /fragmentation into lesser details. This has proven to be enormously helpful to Synthesis users in their attempts to find the most appropriate remedy.
