Dear Friends
I am writing to you as current editor of SIMILLIMUM: The Journal of the Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians.
SIMILLIMUM is a journal of homeopathic practice for the entire homeopathic profession. The journal is sponsored by the HANP which is an
association of licensed naturopathic physicians who specialize in homeopathy. Journal content is specific to the homeopathic profession having no special relationship whatsoever to the naturopathic aspect. SIMILLIMUM has been in publication for thirteen years and at present is sent to about six hundred regular subscribers.
I accepted the editorial position in the late summer of 2002 and have overseen the Fall and Winter 2002 issues. This letter is among various efforts to increase our readership and also to communicate changes in our editorial policy to past subscribers.
In the last few years the journal had become a masthead for extremely conservative opinion in the field. In my view this was out of step with
the majority of our own readers and HANP diplomates, most of whom appreciate and benefit from some of the fine modern thinkers such as Jeremy Sherr, Rajan Sankaran, Divya Chhabra, Massimo, etc.
My effort has been to maintain a very high standard for publication, while opening the doors again to the best of contemporary "classical" homeopathic thinking.
The current issue, Winter 2002, includes a phenomenal and lengthy interview with Divya Chhabra, a detailed review of her recent seminar in Vancouver, an extremely interesting and well illustrated article on a scientific model for the nature of homeopathic remedies, their stability in different media, etc., a case of Sol-t-ae, a case of Coralliium rubrum and reviews of the new Syphilis volume by Sherr and the vast new double volumes by Sankaran, An Insight Into Plants.
We warmly invite your subscription as well as your contributions. Journal articles are reviewed by both editor and committee. Cases should have at least one year of follow-up and full discussion of your reasoning, differential diagnosis, rubrics, etc.
The journal is $50US per year/ $55 for Canada/ $65 US outside North America. Inquiry can be made to Simillimum, 1412 W. Washington St., Boise, Idaho 83703; or write to Brent Mathieu <bmathieu@spro.net>
Articles, cases, reviews can be sent to

Kind Regards
