Vital Quest - Directing from Symptom analysis to System analysis

There is something beyond symptoms. It is something in nature; a plant, an animal or a mineral that is speaking through you. To hear that directly through the maze of symptoms, is the system. A software that points to the Kingdom and the Miasm, rather than to the symptoms only.

Case Taking

The only case taking software in ‘Sensation method’

Prescribing on superficial levels like pathology or local symptoms impedes the chances of finding a permanent cure. Dr Sankaran with his twenty years of practice and research has given us an answer to this. Recent developments like the Vital Sensation, Levels of Experience and the new method of case taking gives the physician a deeper insight into the understanding of a patient.

Bridges the gap between 'Theory' and 'Practice'

VitalQuest, first ever case taking software functions as a watchful guide when you work through your case. The use of this software simplifies the art & science of case taking by guiding the homeopath from the chief complaints of the patient step by step down to the level of the vital sensation, where the source is clearly revealed.

• Type a case as you receive it.

• The software immediately recognizes important words and suggests questions.

• Copy and paste the text of a case from some other file into the program’s input box

• Highlights significant words indicative of the kingdom, miasm and even source

• Merely type few words that are very important in the case and analyze (especially useful when a case is not taken in English.)

Analysis

Extensive database of kingdoms, sub-kingdoms, source and miasms

VitalQuest combines the speed and accuracy of technology with an artistic thinking, giving result in terms of kingdom and miasm indicated in the case.

The commonest mistake a physician makes while analyzing a case, is:

• Miss an important word or give too much importance to a word, which can be neglected

• Prescribe on superficial levels without going deeper to the sensation level. Get confused, as some words are common to kingdom as well as miasm

• To err, because the context used by the patient is different from that mentioned in Materia Medica .

'Step by step' approach for beginners or 'Quick by-pass' for advanced users

The software offers a multilevel checking system to minimize such errors. These check screens (filters), reflect the thinking process involved in the analysis and help to be more specific in the case.

• Powers the analysis of the case by guiding the physician from mere words used by the patient to the energy of the source

• Offers you multiple strategies to arrive at a correct remedy

• Indicates the highest miasm, kingdom, subkingdom and thence the source

• Compare results of all the kingdoms and miasm

• Compare analysis of source words and human expressions

• Analyze a case by different levels of experience viz. name, fact, feeling, delusion, sensation, energy

• Analyze only with source words

• Prompts options that you normally cannot think of after intelligent analysis of key words in the case
