Winter / Spring 2007 Volume XX / SIMILLIMUM 4 Winter / Spring 2007 Volume XX / SIMILLIMUM 5 Neil Tessler ND, DHANP Dear Reader With this issue in hand, I am now stepping back as Editor of Simillimum. The journal will continue under very capable leadership as will be seen. The enormous commitment of time and attention required for the gathering of advertising and material, editing and construction of every issue must now be put aside in favor of other projects. It has been an enormous responsibility and an enormous privilege and I will miss many aspects of the opportunity it has offered. Sincerest thanks to everyone who warmly supported our efforts with their subscriptions, contributions, interviews, etc. Particular thanks to Gregory Pais and Krista Heron for important reflection on cases and commentaries. I continue to be of the opinion that a journal should be one of the central information resources for the profession. It is the place ordinary practitioners can share their experiences, learn about those of others, gain insight on remedies and cases, enjoy interviews with leading teachers, learn about new literature, etc. We all should cherish and support our journals. The journal is as good as the contributions. The more practitioners take the time to share their experiences, the better the journals are likely to be. There are also special benefits to reviewing our cases carefully for publication. A lot is learned on careful reflection that might be missed in the onrushing flow of cases. Like essays in school, it seems a chore at the time, but ultimately there is learning and skills are developed. Comments on the Sherr Interview Part 2 I came into the editorial position on the heels of a struggle over the former direction of the journal, which had become enmeshed in the ongoing controversy over methodology that was particularly active at that time. The previous editors had very strongly favored a traditionalist position and my quest was to bring balance back to the discourse. The fact is that the majority of practitioners are studying with one or another or several modern teachers. Many of these students are senior practitioners with considerable training and experience. Their books and conference presentations have Winter / Spring 2007 Volume XX / SIMILLIMUM 6 Winter / Spring 2007 Volume XX / SIMILLIMUM 7 powerfully spoken to the practical applicability of new knowledge in homeopathy. The majority of the diplomats of the HANP are also involved with one teacher or another of a more progressive standard. So it only seemed logical that the journal should reflect these trends. We have been happy to publish interviews and reviews of literature from the most apparently conservative and the purportedly progressive. There are great things we can learn from all of them. As far as the majority of practitioners are concerned, none are the standard bearers
