HERBAL REPERTORY IN CLINICAL PRACTICE Third Edition, by Michael Moore

A manual of differential therapeutics for the  health care professional

Copyright 1991 by Michael Moore.  Use it, share it, just don't sell it
or change it in any way (unless you get my permission)

    This manual is designed for the use of the primary care physician and 
other health care practitioners who wish to integrate some herbal therapy 
into their practice.  The symptom model used is more or less that of standard
practice medicine, combined with much unorthodox but pertinent naturopathic 
and eclectic specifics.  The format is that of a classical homeopathic 
repertory.  The botanicals, media, and doses are outlined in my other 
booklet, Herbal Materia Medica.  If the practitioner feels the need for 
something more than what amounts to a symptom flow chart, a more drug-
substitute oriented text would be Herbal Medicine by Rudolph Fritz Weiss 
(Beaconsfield  Publishers). The best classic works for the specific 
botanicals are Materia Medica by Felter and King's American Dispensatory, 
both published by Eclectic Medical Publications in Portland, Oregon (both 
medically oriented), and more recently, Handbook of Medicinal Herbs by James 
Duke (CRC Press) and Medicinal Plants of the Mountain West, Medicinal Plants 
of the Desert and Canyon West (Museum of New Mexico Press, Santa Fe), and, by
1991, Medicinal Plants of the Pacific West (Red Crane Press, Santa Fe), by 
myself. This symptom- differentiation is appropriate for using herbs; it is 
much more important to delineate the nature, stage and modality of a 
disorder.  As herbs are far feebler biological agents than drug therapy, it 
is important to know if the disorder is acute or chronic, in a strong or 
immunodeficient person, just beginning or post-inflammatory, and so on.

     As an example, pharyngitis may often be treated with an appropriate 
antibiotic, whether the condition is acute, subacute, or chronic.  Although 
such may indeed be necessary, antibiotics are often a major metabolic stress,
substantially altering the ecologies of the skin and mucosa.  Most 
pharyngitis involves normally endogenous viruses or bacteria that take 
advantage of membrane compromise, immunosuppression, or emotional or 
metabolic stress.  Herbs are often better suited in milder or subclinical 
conditions.  They may strengthen the membranes, stimulate both innate and 
acquired immunity, resolve the exudate and generally strengthen vital forces. 
This, without risking superinfections, allergic response or candidiasis.  
Using an herb, however, is not simply a matter of finding a substitute for a 
given drug; if an herb was as non-specifically effective as an antibiotic, it 
would present the same disadvantages.

     The validity and purpose of this repertory, therefore, is to give the 
therapist a constitutional and patient-specific approach to using herbs based 
on distinct symptoms leading to differential therapeutics, rather than
the more common practice of differential diagnostics that lead to a fixed 
therapy.

     This third edition makes a number of minor changes in therapy, deletes 
several herbs no longer available and adds some of the information to come 
out of European pharmacy, Naturopathic work on the Pacific Coast, information
from the American Botanical Council, my own work with desert and southwestern
plants and the few uses of "Miracle Herbs" that are touted in various hotshot
product lines that hold up under real use.  I have added several new Chinese 
herbs that I have learned to understand within the Western model. Bear in 
mind, of course, that the very basis of both the Oriental and Ayurvedic 
approaches IS differential therapeutics, and practitioners of these 
disciplines should have no difficulty in translating the therapeutics in this 
booklet into their modality, especially those that want to incorporate 
Western botanicals into their practice.

A CAUTIONARY ASIDE: In an herb-perfect world, Cannabis (Marijuana) and 
Lophophora (Peyote), would be available in their benign roles as useful 
botanical medicines.  THEY ARE, OF COURSE, ILLEGAL TO POSSESS.  They are,
however, just two other herbs to me.
