Combined symptoms from Morrison's Desktop Guide to Keynotes and Confirmatory Symptoms


- J. %Yasgur


Roger Morrison's Desktop Guide to Keynotes and Confirmatory Symptoms is a materia medica of depth and yet great simplicity, much like homeopathy itself. Among the usual headings, it also contains a heading not found in other materia medica, that of "Combined Symptoms." By this Morrison means:
 The section "Combined Symptoms" indicates common doublets or triplets of symptomatology which can be considered strong indications for the remedy, even when the remedy is not famous for either of the component symptoms. For example, Cobaltum is not a major remedy for lumbago, nor is it among the most important remedies for seminal discharges. However when seminal discharges and lumbago are found in the same case, then Cobaltum becomes a very likely choice for the patient. I have placed these doublets and triplets in this section. (ix-x)
 Combined symptoms are found in less than 50 of the nearly 300 remedies covered in this book. It would be helpful if Roger would list them in an appendix of a future edition of this useful reference. In the meantime, I have compiled the following list of these nowhere-else-to-be-found pearls and thought that other readers might enjoy having them all in one place.
