The image depicts a pilgrim peering through a curtain in the sky to view the inner working of the universe. It depicts of he point where man precieves the connection of Earth and sky, and gains the knowledge that the stars are always present, even when they are not in view. This mirrors our homeopathic perception of the existance of the vital force, its tunement or mistunements, even when they aer not visible to the naked eye. –The Editor © 2007 Simillimum, The Journal of the Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians.

Homeopathy is undergoing great scientific advancement. It has always been my passion to ensure that the great knowledge gleaned by todayʼs homeopaths is recorded for posterity. Simillimum has a long history of scholarship under its past editors and I look forward to expanding its position in homeopathic publishing excellence aided by your contributions. Working with Simillimum and the HANP is an exciting opportunity for me, as I was introduced to homeopathy by Dr. John Bastyr in 1972 when I was a student at National College of Naturopathic Medicine, where he was its Executive Director, and later, President Emeritus. Dr. Bastyr utilized homeopathy with over 90% of his patients, often combining homeopathy with other modalities, such as botanical medicine, nutrition and electrotherapies. He had no hierarchy about the healing modalities, using the health of the patient as his only guide. I have continued my ties to the naturopathic community by teaching at the college that bears his name. As far as my philosophy of homeopathy, my perspective is broad, as my studies have been broad-based. I studied on my own for nearly twenty years before attending post-graduate courses with Paul Herscu, Jeremy Sherr, Vassilis Ghegas, George Vithoulkas, Lou Klein, Jan Scholten, Nandita Shah and the Sankaran group.
